Anytime Fitness

I had been traveling through the area recently and visited this facility less than a dozen times and was informed by the owner himself that I was making his “paying customers” uncomfortable because I was only using the restroom, stretching and had one workout. I have Silver Sneakers through my disability insurance that covers access to multiple gyms across the nation. Never have I been so disrespected and discriminated against by an owner. He disclosed that I accessed the facility “9 times” and since I was not the “home location” through Anytime fitness that HE and HIS facility were not getting paid for my access, the home location in Little Rock was receiving the payments. Due to the lack of profit he was receiving through my insurance he chose to ask me to leave which was completely inhumane. I had parked outside and slept in my vehicle presuming that it was a safe location for a female vagabond to sleep safely but apparently his patrons chose to classify me as a “homeless eye sore” because they weren’t getting paid directly for access to this particular location. As I explained myself I mentioned that I was pregnant, to which he responded, “you can tell.” He was extremely rude and mentioned that he was going to cut off the key card access to that location and I rebutted, “there’s no need, I won’t be back after being so highly disrespected.” I must also mention that I have been accessing gyms nationwide for nearly two years now and am always the type of patron that sanitizes the equipment, avoids interactions, is non-confrontational or combative and always considerate of the facility and those that frequent them. The fact that he chose also to reprimand me for eating a salad and wearing flip flops to use the restroom only contradicts the fact that they sell foods and drinks at this location. His lack of compassion and humanity was staggering but then again, “he wasn’t getting paid for my visits,” and individuals with a capitalistic mindset already know they don’t need to show compassion in order to manipulate others into financing their greed. Congratulations for the review and I do hope that next time you “remove someone” that you get to know them prior to demeaning their reality. I disclosed that I have been living out of my vehicle for over a year and a half, to which he quickly retorted, “if you haven’t managed to get your life together by now then this isn’t the place for you.” Not only did the owner discriminate against my homelessness, pregnancy and disabilities, he managed to expose his compassionless reality in the process of trying to belittle me. I wouldn’t offer any facility ran by arrogant, misogynistic money mongers my financial support and neither should anyone else that understands humanity and compassion. “It is a business,” after all or so the owner clarified. As nice as the interior of this facility was, I would never recommend that anyone step foot in such a dark and money oriented environment. Your health is Ian’s profit and he’s not interested in anyone’s health, both physical and mental, but he’s more than willing to accept you if you’re lining his pockets with financial gains.

Great gym for the size. The owner Lynn is always there until 7 unlike many of the other Anytime locations. She keeps it super clean, always talks to her members, and also listens to our opinions about new equipment. Also, it's not overly crowded which makes it a much better experience

No better than planet fitness and it’s 4 or 5 times the price so I really don’t see the point. The water fountain is gross and they charge 50 cents for water so you can either refill your own bottle at the gross fountain or pay for a water. They constantly hold classes at night in the only room where you would be able to stretch or do free weights and they do not consistently post a schedule as to when those workout classes take place. As a result, if you workout after work on weeknights, then you have absolutely no way of knowing whether you will have the room available to do your free weights and stretch.

I give 1 star because I’ve given them this feedback before and no action has ever been taken. They don’t seek improvement...you get what you get.

Excellent gym. Nice and clean. My only complain is your pec fly/rear delt machine. I've been in many other anytime fitness's and said machine, when in rear delt mode, never had as much slack as the one in your gym. There has got to be some kind of way to increase full range of motion and set machine on the last adjustable slot. Feel free to get back with me.

Very unprofessional with horrible communication. The owner of Anytime fitness in Bryant owns the NLR location. They closed without telling the members. Never sent an email. And I was still charged for the month of November. I will never use or recommend anytime fitness again.

10 Fitness Cabot

Best gym I have belonged to!  Friendly staff, clean equipment, fun environment, reasonable rates and generous offering of services. Definitely recommend!

I’ve never been to a gym before and I started going to 10 fitness in Cabot about a month and a half ago. I was really nervous when I started ( still am!) but the staff has made it such a good experience. I have training with Alexis and she’s great! 😊

I must say.. Cage, I know now the reason for your last name of Payne! Thank you for the great workout and motivation.

Reasonable, 24/7 use, convenient, lots of stations, clean & great staff!
(My individual discipline gets only 2 stars😂)

Great gym and great staff Gage is a GREAT trainer he will give u results, loge it

Iyengar Yoga Studio of Little Rock

Travelling through Little rock I was looking for a good challenging class.
Martha did not disappoint.
She is engaging helpful and an excellent teacher.
The studio is equipped with all props you need.
The class is educational all helpful for those seeking all deepening experience.

Excellent instructions about precise alignment to prevent injury. Modifications and props used extensively in order to assure each student can do the poses in the proper way. Teacher understanding and accepting of "where your body is today" and encourages honoring our bodies for how they are. In addition, the two classes I attend weekly have just the right amount of humor to make the class fun without getting distracted from the work of the session.

the classes are fine, but they don't honor their own refund policy for pre-purchased class bundles that expire two months after purchasing. if you contact them before they expire, they claim to refund the money, equivalent to the amount of the unused classes. i hurt my shoulder (not doing yoga), so i wasn't able to continue. i contacted the studio in allotted amount of time, but i never got my refund, though martha kept saying she was going to mail it - she never did.
the last promise was november 2017.

I love this place.   Check out their community yoga night on Mondays at 6 pm!  It's pay what you can and all donations go to charity. Just went back last night after many years of not practicing.  The instructor, LeeAnn was understanding and helpful. Modifications were always provided for when my body didn't quite want to follow my mind. I will be back next week!

Martha is an excellent teacher and always careful to teach to a students ability & limitations. I’ve never taken a class here that I didn’t feel better when I left than I did when I arrived.

Jim Dailey Fitness and Aquatic Center

The indoor pool and the hot tub are not working due to hvac issues. Besides that it’s nice. Never overcrowded, the nautilus/free weights equipment is a little sparse but the staff is kind.

The outdoor pool was ridiculous, the only thing you get out of it was an outdoor pool. Lifeguard was watching his cell phone. There was no concession stand but we did sneak food/drinks in with us.
Children's pool does not work.
Water slide into the main big pool does not work.
I called before I went and my questions went unanswered as the city employee did not know anything about this place. If you pay with a debit card you go inside the gym to pay, if you are wanting to pay cash then you walk around to the front of the pool entrance. This made for a very long walk with three kids!!!!
There was a very nice seating area with tables that had umbrellas to sit at but it was closed.
This place is long overdue from its former days of Glory.
Years ago when I went to the fitness center and the indoor pool it was fantastic but today's visit was only for the outdoor pool with little kids.
From my picture I'm sharing you can see we are the only people at this pool.

Mrs Frida works the front and is very nice and encouraging. This gym has alot of options for cardio.

All their classes are included in their $35 monthly membership. They even have a Sauna.

My daughter joined their water aerobics class and had a blast!

Always a good workout. It's clean, friendly staff, and good vibes.  Been coming here a few years. I love it. Best gym around town.

I took my son to this pool for the first time today and was more than disappointed.

The water was warm and dirty with dead bugs and leaves, the umbrellas weren’t attached to the tables and kept flying off if a breeze picked up, the lifeguards seemed to be making up militant rules out of the blue, and I got a chlorine rash on my arm which has never happened before.
We left after 45 minutes.

Yoga Lounge

Planet Fitness

This is a decent spot if you need a day pass and a workout if you're out of town. However, if you're like me and prefer certain equipment this may not be your "forever gym".

This location didn't have flat, incline, or decline benches. So you're forced to the smith machine or dumbells. Again, not the worst if you're in a pinch and need a day pass. It's also important to note this place doesn't have 24 hour capabilities. Which is another big factor for me not signing up.

Outside of that, the one day process was simple and the staff was helpful. The facility was also very clean. Hope this helps.

Great, clean environment including the bathrooms and showers. Lots of workout equipment and no shortage of beautiful women (and buff guys I suppose).

Update: Only change seems to be fewer beautiful women. Total sausage party at times. But that's ok. Are you there to work out or pick up chicks? Let's face it. We want to do both but the latter's never gonna happen. At least not to you. Me on the other hand...  ;)

EDIT: Minus two stars. Went to work out today, Dec 22 at 8:40 pm and the gym was closed despite all signage indicating it should be open. This combined with other reductions in operating hours subtracts those two stars from my original review.

normally this planet fitness is well kept but today was disgusting. there was a group of people there that were rude and did not clean machines after them selves. every one of the machines that have the pad where your head rest was a greasy stinking mess. I had to clean up before and after as I always do but should not have to clean up the disgust of unclean and inconsiderate people not going by the rules. Where was the lunkhead alarm ? greasy nasty lunkheads even spitting on the floor. I can't believe the manager didn't say a word or ring the alarm. If this happens again I will have to find another gym.

A very friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always available to assist in answering questions.  The gym is very well maintained, clean, and sanitized.  The equipment is top of the line and the tanning beds always have fresh bulbs.  Very pleased with the North Little Rock location.

Clean, lots of equipment and has a nice comfortable atmosphere. My friend Christi has a membership so I went with her while she tanned and I got in the Hydromassage chair....Amazing! I'm buying a membership. Not just for the chair lol they have really nice tanning beds plus seeing everyone working out is motivating!

D1 Cabot

D1 is an excellent gym that has something for the whole family. I started here when I was 41 after going through some injuries. I’ve learned a lot from all the coaches. I’m a lot more athletic now and in much better shape after learning how to lift properly with less weight than I was using before. They also have classes specifically for kids athletics.

Everyone in there is very supportive of each other. I strongly recommend D1 for anyone.

My daughter went to a birthday party here. The girls did a good job keeping the kids interested and busy.

Awesome weight lifting competition, my son achieved 4 state records.

Blue Yoga Nyla

Stacey has created an amazing space that is filled with warmth, natural lighting and teachers that are so welcoming. I truly enjoyed my class and surroundings. Stacey is so willing to share her immense yoga and healing expertise with you. I highly recommend checking Blue Nyla out! Thanks for welcoming me so warmly.

My PCP wanted me to try yoga. Hardware in my neck, PT, massage, and hip injections I agreed. I tried 2 other groups geared for seniors, and found no help. I went reluctantly with a friend, only agreeing to try it once. I felt a little better, nice people, encouraged to do what I could, not do it like this. Now been a year. Wish I had done this 10 years ago before EVERYTHING was stiff and sore.

It's been almost 18 months since a major back injury took me off the mat. Over the last few months I've been doing some easy level zero work at BYN with Rebecca. It's been good. I knew it was time to step up. I had enjoyed Terri's classes in the past. Today was my first with her again. WOW! She's always been good, but her growth, intuition and calling skills are clearly better. It was a great welcome back to level one class. Looking forward to more of her classes.

Extremely friendly and helpful to newcomers! Good space to practice. Teacher was very accommodating and easy going. Definitely recommend for anyone wanting to give yoga a try. Great first timer special, $10 for 10 days!

I tried yoga many times in my life but it never clicked until I found Blue Yoga Nyla. I love the welcoming atmosphere and the classes that range from restorative to very challenging (Are You Kidding Me on Wednesday nights is so, so good for a really challenging practice!). There are always new student specials!

10 Fitness Bryant

I don't give out a lot of 5 star ratings but Eric and MO teach a level 10 class that is excellent.  Only 20-25 minutes,  but as intense as you let it be.  I've lost 30 lbs since joining this gym less than 6 months ago.  One thing that has gotten better and better is the cleanliness of the facility....the staff do an admirable job of cleaning throughout the day.  It is obvious.

I really like going to this gym. It’s always extremely clean, the amenities are AMAZING. The staff always makes you feel so welcome any time of day. Additionally the personal training program is FANTASTIC! And, to top it off it’s 24 hours. 10/10 recommend. Special shout out for Caitlin, I appreciate the effort and enthusiasm she brings to each training session, she ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries.

I just came down to visit some family and i came here for a few days, one of the girls that work there i believe her name is Caitlin, she was super helpful with showing me where everything was and she even let me in on her workout with her to feel more comfortable because I was nervous going to another gym for the first time in a while. The facility it was super clean and all of the staff was super nice. Highly recommend coming here!

My Coach Taylor Payne is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the body and working out! She motivates me and keeps me encouraged! I feel the burn with our workouts and I absolutely recommend her! The gym is a great atmosphere to be in and the staff is very supportive!

Cat Harlan has been instrumental in helping me get back into a fitness routine. In addition, she has given me great suggestions on my diet and products to help enhance my workout and recovery.  I highly suggest having her as a trainer — and I highly suggest this gym. Good atmosphere, kind crowd.

Arkansas Fitness and Athletics LLC

AFA is a one of a kind place! The environment is nothing but upbeat and positive at all times! I have been training with Brooke for 3 years now and I use to hate working out. Now I look forward to it! It doesn’t matter if you have never worked out in your life or you been doing it for years, they can help you be the best version of yourself! If you are looking for a new gym or you have been thinking about joining one but don’t know where to start, this is your place! This is THE best gym in central Arkansas and nothing else even comes close! #AFAmily

AFA has been a game changer for me! When I first joined a few years ago, I wasn't sure what to expect and pretty timid. However, I was immediately welcomed with open arms and treated like family. Jim and Brooke are world-class trainers, mentors, and always uplifting. AFA is filled with people from all walks of life and if you're thinking maybe you wouldn't belong, I promise you do. There is a place for everyone here. AFA is absolutely, hands-down the best gym I have ever been a part of and I am so thankful for an environment where I am constantly pushed to be the best version of myself!!

Finding a gym where you feel comfortable and not intimidated as a woman is hard to find, but at AFA I have never felt more at home! My body has transformed over the last few years and the community is incredible! Jim and Brooke are hands down the best! If you’re looking for a gym to call home, AFA is it!

The thought of walking into a weightlifting gym always made me nervous as a female -- but that all went away the first day I encountered Jim at Arkansas Fitness & Athletics. I started my fitness journey with him almost 10 years ago, and he has been there for me through every step of the way. I was never a high school athlete, but training here makes me feel like one! Over the years I have discovered my true potential both in and out of the gym, and developed huge love for weightlifting along the way. When I became a mom 6 years ago, AFA was there to support me as both my mind and body adapted to the new demands of motherhood. I could go on and on about how amazing Arkansas Fitness and Athletics is, but what I can say is that it's not just a gym-- it's a FAMILY!

Have been in the best shape I've ever been in coming here, great peer support, very skilled and knowledgeable trainers, I always feel better after a session! Come here!
