    Nice, small facility, but the owner will randomly harass people during their workouts that they're being too noisy, when they're literally just working out like everyone else there. Have seen him do it to multiple people (myself included), and have talked with several gym goers about it. There's no logic or reason, he just seemingly randomly singles people out. Saw him do it to someone today and the guy just left. I'll be finding another gym.

    I have been a Anytime Fitness member for over a decade because I have traveled and moved across the country and I have NEVER been to a bad club in 10 years. Every gym has its “quirks” and some have more or less equipment than others but they have all been clean and the equipment top notch. The quality of the equipment sets Anytime Fitness apart from cheap gyms like Planet Fitness. This Anytime Fitness in Houston has been the worst experience I have EVER had. The gym itself is covered in layers of dust, the bathrooms are gross ( one of the toilet seats was on the floor for a week), the buttons are missing to flush, and the most DANGEROUS thing…the treadmills. They have 6 treadmills and 3 of them have stalled during my runs. If you take them over 5.0 they start to skip. I have almost falling off several times and I can tell others are experiencing this because they admittedly get off the treadmill and go to another machine. All the treadmills need to be replaced!! This is a very active gym, therefore the equipment needs to be maintained and/or replaced often. Some of the weight machine seats don’t go up and down, levers don’t work, etc. closing for a month and doing a deep cleaning and equipment upgrade is definitely needed and your customers deserve it.

    I moved to Houston a little over three months ago and compared a few gyms in the area. I settled on this location after an employee of LA Fitness quietly told me Anytime Fitness was much better, and I have been coming here three to four days per week ever since. This Anytime Fitness has great staff and no broken equipment (something I can't say for everywhere). The variety of equipment is good too. My only stretch request would be for 12.5-pound, 17.5, and 22.5-pound dumbells and arranging the dumbbell rack to that it loops from the top row to bottom (instead of left to right for both the top and bottom row), but even while I've been there they've tweaked the floor layout and invested in a new lifting rack, so they care about feedback and keeping the place nice. Everything else is great and they have enough equipment that I usually don't have to wait for anything during my workouts. I'm a very hobby-grade bodybuilder, and when I started working out, I wanted to find a trainer that could support my goals. When I saw Dylan, who's built pretty much like a mountain, I asked if he'd work with me. He exceeded my expectations as well as my evaluation of my previous trainers with both his expertise and attention to detail. He studies myology, sports science, and more in significant depth even compared to other trainers I've worked with, which affords me a great opportunity to ask technical questions. He also remains highly engaged in his work the entire workout. The focus and attention he gives combined with his technical depth enabled him to spot muscular imbalances, determine likely causes, and provide corresponding corrections. Anyone, regardless of ability level, would be able to elevate their practice to a new level under his guidance and coaching. Finally, I found Dylan to be a great personality fit for me. I am not terribly competitive, so I respond well to his friendly demeanor and coaching style of affirmative encouragement.

    Outstanding gym! Have been a member for roughly six years. Conscientious, engaged, and responsive ownership focused on member satisfaction and continuous improvement. 24/7 access, high-quality equipment, and convenient location.

    I have been a member at this location for a number of years. The staff is super friendly and willing to assist, should you have any questions. I’ve been working out with Dylan and seeing results! Best neighborhood gym, hands down!

    I have been a member of this location for about 6 months and love it. Several times a week I train with Dylan, who is a fabulous trainer. He is punctual, respectful, fun to talk to, and super yolked. He is extremely knowledgeable and prioritizes maximizing your own knowledge and progress. Training with Dylan is typically the best part of my day, and I consider him a friend, despite the profanities I direct towards him during our workouts. He will hold you accountable for every ounce of what you are capable of. But why else have a trainer?

    I have been doing strength training here almost daily since 2016. The gym has all the equipment I need. It’s clean. The staff is friendly. The clients are courteous. It’s never too crowded. I can always find a parking spot even at peak hours. I renewed my membership for a full year even during the pandemic. That’s how much I love this gym!

    Being a non gym person for the majority of my life, I find it amazing and wonderful that I feel so at ease and comfortable at Anytime Fitness. I’ve always been a fairly active person, but coming into my later 50’s I felt it necessary to seek assistance in avoiding the slippery “slope” my body was falling into. I also knew I would need someone to help hold me accountable and educate me about this unknown world. Enter my trainer Dylan. From the beginning his focus has been on my goals and what I wanted to achieve for myself, checking in occasionally to make sure my goals are being met and I’m happy with the results. Through his positive guidance and enthusiastic encouragement I am not only very pleased, but having a really good time. Yes I even find myself at the gym on days I’m not scheduled to train. The facility is always clean, upbeat and friendly. I always feel seen and acknowledged by the staff and have made several passing acquaintances with fellow patrons. I would never call myself a gym bunny, but the Anytime Fitness has become an easy and accepted part of my weekly life. Never thought it would happen.

    Words can’t describe how great this gym is. Beginning with the ownership down to the staff, always a friendly and premium experience. As someone who’s been apart of many gym families over the years this is by far the best one ever. If you’re looking for a great gym experience I highly recommend Anytime Fitness at Yale & 11th, Matt definitely keeps his place top level.

    I’ve being going here since I moved into the Heights area. This location is well equipped and always kept clean. The staff are super friendly. The owner puts a lot of care and thoughts into running this gym. Equipment upgrades, layout adjustment, etc. the experience is constantly getting better and better. Best part, when I travel, I can get into any AF! Check it out, you won’t regret it.

    Decent gym. But all the Cardio machines are wayyy too close to each other, and the locks to the restrooms don't work. I don't feel comfortable showering here.

    Updating my original review because they have fixed the bathroom issue and I haven’t had trouble finding parking recently. But the other 2 issues are still there. I have 2 main problems with this gym: 1. They keep it at 73 degrees in summer. Because of the large windows and the fact there is no air circulation near the cardio equipment it gets significantly hotter than that. 2. When I changed what kind of membership I had they charged me for both memberships for a month and said there was nothing they could do about it. Other than those 2 things I like the gym and unfortunately my husband is so picky about gyms and this is the only one in the area with dumbbells that go high enough for him so we stay.

    Small group training with Devon Shurden has been a game changer in my fitness and nutrition lifestyle goals. A big bonus has been to be able to stay injury free. Devon is excellent at adjusting exercises and giving pointers if you have problem areas etc. I highly recommend small group training with Devon.

    A great gym overall. Reasonably priced. Equipment is in good condition. Good amount of treadmills, bikes, and ellipticals. Has a couple of private bathrooms + private showers as well.

    An out-of-towner who likes to stay in shape, I gave them a call...these friendly folks worked out a VERY fair temporary price for four days, for a non-member. Other gyms quoted more than twice as much... Great gym, very nice people. All the equipment anyone could ask for.

  • 5/5 Jennifer P. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve been going to this location for seven years. Why I like it: - Clean and smells nice - Music is played at a low volume or not at all, so I can always hear my podcasts. - You can cancel your membership over the phone. - Is actually open 24 hours every day—all doors are locked when staff isn’t there, and you use a key fob to get in. - Competitively priced - Four single-person restrooms each with a shower - Has adequate parking - Staff is friendly but doesn’t pressure you into personal trainer sessions. - Has lockers you can use, but in the six years I’ve been coming here I’ve always left my bag on the cubby shelves without issue. - Rarely have to wait for equipment. - Gym members are all chill and keep to themselves. I do wish that they offered yoga or other classes. I would pay extra for that.

    I call during business hours and yet the automated voice always tells me “we’re close”. When I click the option for the time, I verify I’m calling during those business hours, but hey the operator still says “we’re close”. Well they just lost a potential client if they either don’t bother to take calls or can’t fix their automated voice to route the calls.

    It's hard to believe, but I have been a member of this gym since it opened in 2009. Matt, the owner is constantly making improvements, namely with expansions, but most importantly, equipment upgrades. The staff is friendly and responsive. Also, the gym is clean and the equipment is well-maintained. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Bridgett 7 months ago on Google
    This place is perfect for late night or early morning workouts. Feels safe. Plenty of cleaning products to use on equipment. Great location.

  • 5/5 Jordan 9 months ago on Google
    Love the equipment variety here and that the facility is big/spacious enough that you don’t feel cramped even in busy times. Only things that need attention are the lockers and bathrooms. There a very few cubbies to actually lock your purse. If you’re lucky enough to snag one, the locks are glitchy. I’m usually all for saving some trees, but the restrooms need paper towels so you don’t have to touch the gross doorknob as you leave after you wash your hands - or different door knobs.

  • 5/5 Joe S. 8 months ago on Google
    Decent location. Parking kind of sucks. People there are there to do work don't have a problem sharing equipment or working in sets. Got a spot from a guy no problem for a heavy work set.

  • 5/5 Craig P. 9 months ago on Google
    I've been an Anytime Fitness member for 15 years, and this is one of the better locations I've been to in the U.S. I loved the equipment variety they had, as I was visiting from out of town. Compared to most AF locations I've seen, this location felt pretty big. All the equipment was spaced out, so you didn't feel like you were on top of people. I also liked the water fill up station. That was clutch. Staff was helpful, as they verified my membership, even though I left my key fob at home. The facility is clean and has mostly any machine you'd need. It's also in a nice area, surrounded by restaurants. Thank you to them for everything while I was a visitor!

    I really like this gym. The people there are good people, and the gym has lots of ways to workout. Parking is uncomplicated.

  • 2/5 Gio 2 years ago on Google
    It's small but neat, everything was ok until I let in my friends two times and without warning it seems like they shadow banned me, my key wasn't working and the guy at the front desk just looked at me as I was trying to open the door but did nothing, go to a better gym, Blink fitness is a lot cheaper, it's bigger, just as clean and it's a lot more chill

    Great gym and great staff. I just renewed my membership, and they were awesome. Love the 24 hour schedule and the serious attitude of the members. You don’t have to wait for equipment, either. Love this gym!

  • 5/5 Jocelyn S. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice gym overall. Plenty of squat racks and cardio machines. I would recommend.

  • 5/5 Cazaro Y. 2 years ago on Google
    Just moved here from Louisiana and been a part of the Anytime family for years. I say family bc that’s how they make you feel. Just like the gym back home I’m greeted as if we’ve been knowing each other our whole lives; not only by staff but by fellow gym goers. All in all it’s a great gym just like the one back home.

  • 5/5 Jack F. 2 years ago on Google
    First time in this location and I have to say. I loved the open space, cleanliness, and plethora of equipment choices! Mind you, I visited @0100.

  • 5/5 Jacob K. 1 year ago on Google
    My partner and I have been going to this Anytime Fitness in the Heights for a little over a year now and we love it. The gym is clean and constantly updated with new equipment. There’s space to workout even during busy times. The staff is experienced and knowledgeable as well.

  • 5/5 Jim T. 1 year ago on Google
    I've been happy with my experience at Heights Anytime Fitness. They have the equipment I need and the staff is friendly and helpful. In general, my experiences at Anytime (Anywhere?) Fitness have been good. It's a good value that's available most anywhere I've been in the US. No calling, no appointments, just show up at another location and my card key opens the door and I work out.

  • 5/5 L V. 1 year ago on Google
    Matt the manager pours a lot of his money back into this franchised gym and it shows. He buys top notch equipment and is always renovating to open up more space. Keeps it clean and organized. Just don't drop the weights! At least until Matt gets a deadlifting platform installed :) Location is nice in the center of the heights and convenient to many good places nearby.

  • 5/5 Zach B. 1 year ago on Google
    Been a member for a little over a year now and enjoy this gym over any of the other gyms in the area. Always clean, has everything you need for a workout, and don’t have to constantly wait on any equipment.

  • 5/5 Yesenia N. 1 year ago on Google
    Out of town and I had to get a sweat in before work. Plenty of machines and equipment. Space is limited but the gym Goers were considerate and polite. Nice atmosphere.

😠 This place is a disgrace. The two lat pull-down cables have been broken for over three weeks and they look at me like I’m crazy for thinking they should be repaired. Most of the other equipment is either broken or missing. Even at $15 per month, it’s too much.

👍👍 I have been coming to Fitness Connection since April and I'm glad to say that I lost 30 lbs. It's a really big and nice gym. The perk is that they have a sauna. This gym also have many machines and cool classes. The workers there are really nice and knowledgeable. This gym is a keeper.

😠 By far the worst maintained LA Fitness Gym I’ve ever been to. Most of the Leg workout machines been out of order for almost 3 months. They just stopped caring about fixing because the gym is always packed and they’re getting their monthly dues. Literally there’s just one machine for leg rise Workout...
