Anytime Fitness Farnham

I’ve been a member here about 5 years now. It has everything I need in a gym. Close to home, always open, all the equipment I need, doesn’t get crazy busy. Bonus of being able to use any Anytime Fitness anywhere in the world. Yes, the gym went massively down hill when the new owners took over but the new staff have turned it around. Just be careful to register your car if you use the car park so you don’t get fined.

I saw previous reviews and was a little hesitant in giving this gym a go but just got home from there and can say I had a great first day / session here with the help of the assistant manager Luke. Very welcoming. Was happy to show me around. Good equipment, tidy and parking was easy. Thanks again Luke!

I have been coming to this location since Feb. of this year. As many other reviews have mentioned, the gym seemed to be going through a bad patch the past few months in regards to staffing and regular cleaning. Fortunately big changes have been made over the past month and the gym is significantly improved already. Every time I go in I notice small improvements that are making all the difference. It’s a great facility that has a nice personal feel and doesn’t get overly busy (which I love). I feel optimistic about the direction this location is moving in and I’m relieved to see it, as this is my local gym.

Upon walking into the gym, I had immediate concerns about the cleanliness and lack of staff. First of all, I would like to complain about the hygiene of some members in this gym. On some days, there is a lingering and musty smell of body odour coming from a group of three deliquent's. This is extremely disgusting and ruins the user experience while working out. I would like to propose a mandotory (and potentially complementary) deodorant rule.Second of all, I would like to file a complaint about a middle-aged Asian male using the leg equipment without socks or shoes, therefore spreading bacteria over all these heavily used machines, and he also did not care to disinfect these machines after use.Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this. Hopefully,  these issues can be resolved with urgency.

Considering the state of this gym and poor management over the last year or so, the new manager and cleaner have turned this place around! The two of them are lovely, approachable and always answer any questions I have. I applaud them for the effort and perseverance they’ve shown when taking on the challenges that have been frustrating to us members.I’ve been a member for 5 years now, I’ve always felt comfortable working out even when I haven’t been confident in myself.With time I’m confident that this gym will get back to, or even exceed previous expectations and standards.

A very clean and organised gym with very kind and helpful staff that care about fitness and your wellbeing. The staff there really engage in the community with fitness challenges and advice. Would recommend this gym to anyone interested in starting a fitness journey.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS. A COMPLETE DIVE AND A SCAM.Joke of a company. Took extra money from my account without authorisation. Can’t get through to anyone and no response, but quick enough to get aggressive when the shoe is on the other foot. Recent reviews from others says it all. Do not join this place unless you want to be ripped off and don’t mind working out in complete squalor.I have been a member of Anytime Fitness for many years and have noticed the decline in maintenance and cleanliness at the Farnham club.Please see attached pictures for more detail.1 . The gym floor and bathroom facilities are filthy. It's clear that there hasn't been a cleaner for some time or a cleaning regime. The floors and toilets around the gym are dirty, with mud, hair and skin visible on a majority of contact surfaces, including the floor mats on the top floor.There is also historical stained urine on the toilet floors and around the basins, and the benches, walls and sinks are dirty. Again, there is a consistent lack of cleaning in these areas and they have stayed the same on multiple visits to the gym.The antibacterial dispensers are also broken with some completely missing from the wall, making it difficult to clean the equipment down after use. There is also a lack of antibacterial wipes, they're usually missing from the dispensers entirely or the dispensers are simply missing from the wall.2. The electrical equipment around the gym hasn't been PAT tested since 2021, which is a huge health and safety risk and a breach of non compliance for several safety standards. This includes the Electricity at Work regulations (1989), Health and Safety at Work act (1974) and the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations (1999). This is a serious matter which is posing a health risk to the hundreds of members attending the club.3. The equipment and decor looks tired, and there has been no communication with the club's members to address this.As mentioned above, there has been a noticeable decline in the clubs standards, and there is clearly a lack of direction and training for the staff currently employed at the club, particularly for an environment where contact surfaces is a constant and Covid is very much still a concern.After many years of supporting the club, Anytime Fitness is failing to keep the members and myself safe and I will therefore be cancelling my membership with immediate effect and will no longer attend the club.

Jason and Luke have turned this gym around. With the help of Jody, it is now clean, tidy, ordered and motivating.The journey they have had to travel to bring it up from frankly a diabolical state is nothing less than fantastic. They are always looking at ways to make it more appealing and more inviting.The kit is looking tired in places which is why it’s not a 5 star but, unlike previous managers, when things are reported they actually do something about it.Clearly these chaps actually care about the members and want this gym to succeed.Well done. And thanks!

I have been going to this gym for over 5 years. In the last year or so it did go downhill as many of the members will know, mostly due to poor staffing. However, they have now employed a new manager who is very much more helpful, and the gym is staffed at times when it should be. The standard of cleanliness has improved dramatically in the past couple of weeks, and I have also noticed that equipment is put back and it seems the changes we have all wanted for months are being made. If you'd asked me a month ago, I'd have said avoid at all costs, but the improvements in the past couple of weeks are so promising and I'm excited to see the place get back to how it used to be :)

AVOID AT ALL COSTS !!!!The gym have installed a new parking system that doesn’t work as many others have had the same issue. I received a parking fine, when speaking to the manger I was told this would be sorted. Last week (2 months later) I received a letter from debt collectors saying my fine has gone up from £60 to £170. I got in contact with the manager (Jason) who was absolutely useless and told me that I have to pay it.Worst of all the gym is in a terrible condition, it’s not kept in a hygienic state and half the machines are broken.
