I've been coming here for 4 years now, and I can wholeheartedly say that it's an absolutely brilliant gym! Steve, Micah, Marius, and Louie are all extremely friendly, approachable, and helpful. As a result, the gym itself has a vibrant atmosphere and is kept very clean and tidy.

Lovely friendly gym, super clean and well equipped. Good selection of machines/cardio equipment/free weights. Has a nice studio area if you feel like a change. Never have to wait to get on anything. Even when the gym is busy it doesn?t have a manic feel about it. Amazing team, (Steve, Louie and Micah) always helpful, extremely knowledgeable and professional.
Not a gym that you?d ever feel intimidated or uncomfortable. Highly recommend if you?ve been toying with the idea of joining a gym but not yet found the one. Anytime Colchester has a real community feel to it.

The best gym around!!
I joined up a few weeks ago and I'm really enjoying visiting the club. Steve, Micah, Louie, and all of the staff there make you feel welcome and offer great practical advice including coaching sessions if you need them. The gym itself is kept really clean and offers a solid range of resistance machines, cardio machines, and a free weight section that are all well maintained. They often hand out free fruit, pre-workout and other bits when you're down there too! The guys work really hard to create a great atmosphere and give it a strong community feel.
They have some great classes to choose from if that's your thing. For me, the best thing is it's 24hrs which makes fitting training in around work life really easy.
If you're thinking of joining a gym, I would highly recommend Anytime Fitness!!

I have been coming to this gym for over 10 years. Marius is a great personal trainer, Steve, Louie and Micah are all really friendly and on hand to support members in the gym. Great selection of classes, good selection of equipment, easy parking. The members are all very friendly to making the atmosphere really good.

I?ve tried a lot of the gyms in Colchester but I?ve found Anytime (Stanway) the best environment for me. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the gym just has a welcoming vibe. There?s no awkwardness when you walk through the front door at all. I?d say this is a great place for someone who lacks a bit of confidence and wants to join a gym but is worried about feelings of intimidation. I?ve never found it too busy and there?s always someone around to help if you need it. I?ve been having PT sessions with Marius who has helped me improve my strength by giving me confidence to push further than I?d perhaps try on my own. Marius has been able to work with me around my knee issues by adapting exercises that challenge me but don?t cause further injury. I?d highly recommend Anytime especially for those looking for somewhere inclusive and friendly.

I have been using Anytime fitness for around 4 years, after moving into Essex. I did try a couple but found Anytime a bit more friendly.
The gym has plenty of machines that you can use, also free weights. There is also a number of running machines, rowing machines, bikes and cross trainers.
The gym its self is a friendly gym with most people saying hello, sometimes with small chat which is quite nice.
The staff are really good (Steve, Louie and Micah), nothing is too much for them. They are approachable and friendly and will help out with any needs with your training, or give you some ideas that they use or do.
They also set up some fun competitions each month which I normally have a go at, to see how far I?m behind in younger generation!!
You also have Marius who?s the PT Instructor. Marius has been there for years, so any needs in personal training and nutrition info, that?s your guy.
All in all, a good warm friendly gym.
