Anytime Fitness Haymarket

Very disappointing experience as a paying member. I have been a member of Anytime Fitness, but my recent experience has left me shocked and frustrated. I was training dance moves in an almost empty gym during a quiet time (weekday noon, 12–1 PM), and was unexpectedly asked to leave by a staff member. The reason? I was “disturbing others.” However, the gym was nearly empty, and there was plenty of space around me. I fail to understand how my quiet solo training could possibly disturb anyone. Nowhere in the membership contract does it state that dancing or movement training is prohibited. As a paying member, I believe I have the same right to train as everyone else, whether it’s weights, cardio, or dance-based workouts. This kind of treatment felt unfair and discriminatory. On top of that, the gym is not well-maintained. The floors are dirty, and overall hygiene is substandard — especially disappointing for a fitness facility. This incident has left me extremely dissatisfied. I expected a welcoming and inclusive training environment, not to be judged or kicked out for how I choose to move my body. I sincerely hope the management reconsiders how they treat their members and enforces rules based on fairness, not personal bias.
