A few months after becoming a member, I tried spinning classes, which were fun. I quickly noticed the seats, set parallel to the floor, didnt fit my anatomy. I was sliding forward uncomfortably. I brought a wrench, raised the front of one a notch, and didnt feel as if I were fighting it anymore. I chose the narrowest, least padded style among the few types available. The owner later told me I was the only one who preferred that kind. The seat was leveled again by staff. But I wasnt going to settle for exerting myself session after session while struggling to remain on the seat. There used to be a needs fixing sheet for members to list equipment problems. Someone had written that the bike seats were tipped. I went to the manager, Lee, and politely asked if I could have one seat --just one seat! adjusted to my comfort. I was met with an expression of surprise mixed with mild annoyance. Denied. The classes were never full so nobody wouldve been forced to use a tipped seat. Even if they were all taken, there were four bikes in other parts of the gym from which seat/post combos could be swapped. I never saw all four of those in use at the same time. So, on it went: Id adjust a saddle, someone would complain, itd be flattened, and the charade would begin anew. I finally made a request to the owner. She said shed put a note on the saddle so as not to adjust it. A week later she said she was told by Lee the answer was no. If one is changed then all could be changed, implying they were not willing to consider that. But they did take into consideration all the others who complained about 'tipped' seats. Thats not fair. They couldve easily worked with me, gotten to yes. The seats are adjustable for a reason. Otherwise, the esprit-de-corps evident when I joined has faded. There are no noticeable efforts to engage members. The newer, younger trainers are somewhat aloof, a couple are borderline arrogant. And then theres this: The two managers, Lee V. & Jen P.(and Lee's spouse) wrote 5-star reviews on this page. These are conflict of interest violations per Google usage rules. The owner, Ruby, played along with(instigated?) the ruse, adding praise and thanks below these reviews. Hmm, using shills seems to me a sign theres not a lot of confidence in the business future. P.S. The managers' reviews & owner's comments have been deleted, though J. Ventura(manager's wife) still has a 5-star review below. October 2023.

Anytime Fitness in Kensington is my home away from home for sure. Very clean, all the equipment you would need, and the staff are friendly. It's a convenient location and the other members are pleasant and respectful. I'm been coming for 6 year regularly.
