Anytime Fitness Leighton Buzzard

I signed up to Anytime Fitness in Leighton Buzzard after the Mentmore shut down. I was in need of a gym with exercise classes and was told when I signed up that there were exercise classes pretty much every day. I was even given a leaflet with the classes on. In the 5 months that I have been a member I have not seen 1 class. Granted I only go to the gym about once a week as I have free gym at work. When I asked staff about classes they explained that due to staff shortages classes had been suspended / reduced...

So... when I explained to the Manager that I was terminating my contract (and signing up somewhere else with a regular class timetable) I was told that he would send debt collectors round to reclaim the money for the remaining 7 months of my contract!

That left a VERY sour taste in my mouth. I don't like to be threatened when the reason for me cancelling my membership is because of them cancelling exercise classes! The Manager explained that it was not a good enough reason... I signed up to use the classes + there are no classes = valid reason. I was advised to pay for a personal trainer!?! So they can get more money out of me and not deliver the service on offer.

Other than that, the gym is clean and tidy. Well maintained and never busy. Such a shame to leave on bad terms.

Easy to sign up to, competitively priced and open 24 hours a day. No signing in, or trying to find your membership card hassle. You get a key fob to let you in and then you're away. Has a great selection of cardio and resistance machines, plus a decent sized free weight area.

Relative to all of the other gyms in this price range and in/near Leighton Buzzard this place comes out top for me, the equipment is more up to date than the others. not over crowded and open all hours. My only minor issue is the equipment can be left for awhile when it has a problem, this can be frustrating! Signs on a broken machine would help.
The staff are helpful when approached.

Very glad we didn't sign up here. Had a trial and was called a few days later, explained to the staff member on the phone that we will not be choosing to join as the gym is abit too small with not enough equipment for our needs. The staff member became rather passive aggressive, stating 'if that's what you think'. Well, it is a fact it's a very small gym - perhaps ideal if you travel a lot so you can use their other gyms. We stuck with our current gym and would rather drive 10 miles than use this one

Fantastic real good instructors, very friendly just a great gym to work out and meet nice people

Good gym. Plenty of equipment, if a bit too cramped to use it all easily. But there is a big hole in the floor next to one of the racks - my foot kept slipping into it and it was difficult to deadlift properly even trying to ‘bridge the gap’ with deadeners.

Great gym, really spacious and lots of machines. Staff are all very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this gym to anyone in the area

Very good gym, sparkling clean! People are nice, into fitness which motivates me even more. Free parking and helpful staff. New machines, busy but you never have to wait... I totally recommend it!
