Workout Anytime Bearden

"Remember when you sent me to collections (for less than $30/mo.) in the midst of the pandemic while your gyms were closed, but you fools still expected your contractually obligated monthly fee? Nevermind that. Remember when your gyms in both Bearden and Maryville had no A/C two years prior to the lockdowns? Remember when the men's facilities in Bearden were constantly filthy because you could not keep staff? I certainly do. I would give the married couple who own and operate these two locations zero stars if I could. Sending me a plea to rejoin is both hilarious and deeply insulting. You people breached contract long before I did. I even had friends and family sign up with you, and you still sent me to collections for pennies in the midst of a deadly pandemic—during which your operations were forcibly halted. You have no shame, and I will never do business with you or Workout Anytime ever again."

"I've worked out at 3 of these and this by far was the most disappointing! 1 curlbar in the whole gym and very few back and arm accessories for cable machines! Very unorganized with the benches near the dumbbells! I'm not a karen at all, but for this location in knoxville we're it's very wealthy it's very poor ran! Should be the nicest one with how much money is in that area! Come to norris, powell areas and it's the nicest and most packed I've seen. This workout anytime had 3 to 7 people in at all times. That told me alot. Just want to encourage this owner it could be better!"

"Cleanliness is definitely not the first priority of this place. All equipments are dirty. You can see the black stain on the weight pins on all machines. the floor shows how disgusting it is. Bathroom never has hand soap refilled ever. The air inside the facility is extremely muggy. It's not circulate at all. If you move too much, you will feel like you can't breathe pretty easy. I recently moved to this area and this gym is the closer to my house. Otherwise, I would not go back to this place ever again. I still haven't cancelled my old gym membership because I feel so much better driving 2x further to that one. I can breathe, everything is cleaner, not crowded when there are more than 2 people in the gym, and have more equipments. 2 stars are for how nice the staffs are and the location. The rest are not good enough to be a gym in Bearden. It doesn't need to be spacious or nice for this price range, but be clean and circulate the air should be the bare minimum."

"It’s great for the price and convenience for the area. You’ll find basic free weights and general treadmills. Only downside is it’s a bit small and can feel claustrophobic during peek times. Otherwise you’re not missing out much for the price. If you want more space, amenities, and extra towel service you deserve to look at the pricier $65+ gym chain."

"I rated this gym at 5 stars a few years ago, and I stand by that rating. I just want to give a follow up because gyms get a bad rep on Google maps. I was a member at this gym for a couple of years, and when I wanted to cancel, I followed the rules, as stated in my original agreement, and had no problem cancelling my membership. I restarted going to this gym in September of 2023. It hasn't changed, and I'm fine with that. The only thing different since I was there a few years ago is that the cardio theatre no longer has you running after a man in different trails and such around the world. You now can use the cardio theatre while watching funny videos on chive.tv. I feel safe at this gym. I love how many different age ranges and athletic abilities work out here. I'm not gawked at, feel uncomfortable, or anything else here. The security equipment seems to work, I can use my key to get in the gym after manned hours, and the people that man the front desk are really helpful. The equipment is far enough apart here, the bathrooms are clean (well, the women's is, idk about the men's locker room), everything is clean, and the towels and spray cleaners are always filled. I would now like to tell you about the downsides. Would I prefer wipes? Personally, yes, but it isn't my decision. Would I prefer to not have the hydro massage in the middle of everything where everyone is watching me? Yes. Would I prefer if the time limit on the hydro massage was at least 15 minutes like it is at every other workout anytime that I have ever gone to? Yes. (To be fair, I've only been to 5 or 6 other workout anytime gyms, but all of them had longer time limits on the hydromassage and it was in a separate room.) Would I prefer if the wifi actually let you do something like it used to years ago? Yes. Have I brought it up with the people that man the front desk? Yes. It's also been a problem for them for years. You can't watch YouTube videos, open a website on chrome or other internet browsers, watch Amazon prime, watch a few other video streaming services, listen to any podcasts, or stream any music! And, yes, I know how to use technology. I have restarted my phone, disconnected and reconnected to the network, updated all of my apps, deleted apps and then reinstalled them in case that was the problem, got my husband to check everything for me, etc. So now I just disconnect from their guest wifi, which is password protected and I'm fine with, and use my own downloaded files or my cell phone data. Maybe I can get past it with a VPN, but I haven't tried that yet. They must have some sort of barrier on their guest wifi that doesn't let anybody do anything. It sucks. So, I like this workout anytime. I can work out here, feel safe here, and enjoy my time here. Hopefully the wifi can get fixed and maybe the hydro massage can get moved around. Thanks guys!"
