Anytime Fitness Brooks Landing

Anytime Fitness at Brooks Landing from my personal perspective:

As I approached my 73rd birthday, I couldn’t ignore the signs that my health and fitness were slipping away. The sedentary lifestyle had taken its toll, leaving me with a flabby pot belly and a noticeable decline in strength. Simple tasks like sitting down were manageable, but getting up again became a struggle. The flexibility of my youth seemed like a distant memory, and I found myself seeking comfort rather than embracing physical activity. Depression and anxiety crept in, leading me to unhealthy coping mechanisms like drinking, smoking, and indulging in comfort foods.
In what felt like a last-ditch effort, I decided to visit Anytime Fitness at Brooks Landing. With a mix of excitement and trepidation, I spoke to one of the staff members. She assured me that they could address my specific needs. So, I took the leap and became a member. Along with access to the gym equipment, I opted for personalized coaching—a program tailored to my goals:
1. Reducing subcutaneous and visceral fat
2. Strengthening my core
3. Increasing overall strength and stamina
My coach has been incredibly patient and supportive. She guides me through various workouts, teaching me proper movements and demonstrating how to use the machines for resistance training. Beyond the gym, I’ve made positive lifestyle changes—I quit smoking and alcohol and adopted a healthier eating regimen.
It’s only been a month, but the results are already impressive. I feel more energetic, and both my physical strength and mental well-being are on the upswing. This progress motivates me to keep going. Consistency is key, and I’m committed to this journey! 💪🏋️‍♀️

Highly recommend this Anytime Fitness location to anyone in the area. Michael is a friendly and personable owner, the equipment is all up to spec, and most importantly, I have to commend them for their efforts in making this a safe and healthy environment for their members given the latest protocols. Keep it up!

Michael is easy to talk to and genuinely cares about making this gym a safe, welcoming and inclusive environment. For those commuting there is ample parking, areas to secure your bike and its right beside a bus stop. The parking lot is also well lit at night (bonus for being a 24 hour gym).
The gym is well stocked with an impressive selection of equipment. They offer a variety of classes that are well designed and challenging regardless of where you are in your fitness journey. The classes are led by knowledgeable personal trainers giving them immense value! They have designed the class space to allow for social distancing and adapted the classes to operate safely during COVID-19. Once you become a member you also get access to their workouts app which has a multitude of pre-made workouts to get you started and help you progress. 10/10 would recommend for any gender, body type and fitness level.

I've been to Anytime Fitness gyms all over Canada, and this is the best I've been to by far. Tons of equipment (incl. 2 sets of dumbbells, a sled, etc) extremely clean, and some of the nicest gym staff I've come across, especially the owner. I worked out here for a month before moving out of Nanaimo, but I can't recommend this place enough.

All the trainers are welcoming to all skill levels, kind, and extremely knowledgeable about physiology and nutrition. They have varied classes with fun and encouraging trainers. They worked with us to create a schedule of training that meets our goals and lifestyle. My wife and I are beginners but are keeping up with everything and enjoying it. Strongly recommend!

Mike and his team have done a excellent job with this gym creating a friendly environment for newcomers and ensuring more avid gym goers have all the equipment they need for their workout regimen. I've been going to many different gyms since I was 14 years old and I've never seen a franchise gym so dedicated to helping their customers, seriously the service is outstanding. I strongly recommend this gym to all my friends and family, and whoever may be reading this review.

Thanks very much anytime brooks landing for all your hard work and creating an awesome workout community.
