One of the great excuses for not going to the gym if you live in the Hills and Heights neighborhoods is that there aren’t many options. That excuses is becoming less hard to defend this fall as Anytime Fitness is set to open a club in the Shops at Stratford Hills shopping center (near the Target not Rock Falls). Anytime Fitness is a franchise gym that already has 2008 gyms across North America and one of it’s differentiating factors is that it’s open 24/7.

The gym is looking at a November opening date in a 4,800 square-foot space and will be run by Manish Gupta and Harleen Gupta.

More information from the official Press Release.

“What differentiates Anytime Fitness from other clubs is our focus on helping members get the results that they’re seeking,” said Gupta. “We’re small enough that we can provide personalized attention for all of our members. Whether weight-loss is your goal, or increased strength or improved balanced and flexibility – or a combination – we’re committed to helping you achieve those goals.”

Nationwide, the average Anytime Fitness club has about 800 members. The gyms are staffed roughly 9 hours a day, but members can access the club whenever the like – even during unstaffed hours – using a computerized key-fob system.

“We make it easy for our members to exercise whenever and however they like,” said Gupta. “We’ll have personal trainers available to help you learn how to use all of the equipment and to develop an individualized workout plan, if you like. We’ll also have a ‘Fitness on Request’ system that allows members to choose from dozens of video classes whenever it’s most convenient for them.”

Membership at one Anytime Fitness club gives members access to 2,400 clubs worldwide as well as access to www.AnytimeHealth.com, the most comprehensive online wellness support system available.
