Fantastic experience: I CAN. NOT. STOP. TALKING. ABOUT. Anytime Fitness Riccarton!!! From the moment I walked through the door, I was hit with GOOD VIBES and a gym that truly FEELS like HOME. The staff are beyond AMAZING — seriously, they remember your name, your goals, and somehow manage to hype you up even on your laziest days. How do they do that?!?

Fantastic experience: Good gym, staff, equipment, and people. Always super tidy too
Thanks so much for the awesome review! We’re stoked to hear you’re enjoying the gym, our team, and the community here
Fantastic experience: Good Atmosphere
Fantastic experience: Very well equipped. 20 dollars for one time pass.
Negative experience: This was an absolutely TERRIBLE experience. If you're thinking about joining this gym, THINK TWICE. When we first signed up, the receptionist told us we could cancel anytime and get a refund for the key. But when we actually tried to cancel, they completely changed their story and refused to give us the key refund, plus they overcharged us for the membership. I'm beyond furious. If they weren't going to give us a refund, they shouldn't have been so wishy-washy and said 'maybeeee' about it. They should have just been honest from the start. This is a total scam!
Fantastic experience: Great gym. I attended on my travels from Australia. Very friendly staff and very clean.
Was so nice to meet you today :) All the best for the rest of your travels.
Fantastic experience: I visited Anytime Fitness Riccarton with a friend, and I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment we walked in, the friendly and welcoming staff made us feel right at home. The gym has a great vibe – clean, modern, and well-organized, with everything you need for a top-notch workout. The equipment is excellent, with a wide range of machines and free weights to cater to all fitness levels and goals. I particularly appreciated how well-maintained everything was – it’s clear the team takes pride in keeping the space in great condition. The functional training area is a nice touch, and there’s plenty of room to move around without feeling cramped, even during peak times. One of the standout features is the 24/7 accessibility. It’s perfect for anyone with a busy schedule, and the secure access system adds peace of mind. The atmosphere is motivating yet relaxed, making it a great spot whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned gym-goer. Overall, Anytime Fitness Riccarton offers a fantastic fitness experience with top-tier facilities, a welcoming community, and flexible hours. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in Christchurch!

It has individual showers, serviced equipment, and features a healthy culture of gym members who respect each other and the equipment. Staff is kind and welcoming, and they have some great pros as personal trainers. Gym also has evening group classes. Great place to work out with large windows and lots of sunshine.
Hey Ben! Thanks so much for your review! Keep up the great work :)
Fantastic experience: Always a top notch workout with the team at AF Riccarton. Such a slick venue with a modern and clean set of equipment. Even a busy weights room still feels spacious. The cardio room has a bunch of state of the art machines. Plus the floor space in the stretching space make for a great quiet warmup/down or any of the simple floor exercises in a routine. Love getting amongst it with the crew at AFR. Super smiley chatty team. Definitely recommended if you have the need for an all round gym experience.
Hey Spike! We love seeing you around the gym and getting a big wave everytime you come in. Thanks so much for your review. Goodluck with your Movember Mo :)! (Looking pretty strong already)

Positive experience: Pretty cool branch.
Thanks so much for your feedback! :)
Negative experience: Says staffed hours at 10am doors still closed at 10.30 went down to flex fitness instead
Hey Oliver! So sorry this happened to you. That is not what should have happend on our behalf, we are closed on pubic holidays and Sundays but yet again we are sorry about this.
Fantastic experience: Delivers on everything I need from a gym. This particular AF gym is very well maintained.
Hey Roger! Thanks for your feedback, it means a lot to us :)
Positive experience: I tried their free trial, seems like a nice gym
Hey William! Thanks for coming and doing a trial here with us. We loved having you around the gym and hope all is well!
Fantastic experience: Very good place to work out. Clean and good equipment.
Hey Israel! Thanks for your review, i hope all is well :)
Positive experience: Not impressed with membership rates for someone like us who are looking for something temporary and not at $80 a month! We only hit the gym 3-4 times a week
Hey Penny, so sorry that you feel this way. Unfortunately we can not drop our prices but if you ever do find yourself wanting to give our gym a go we can set up a free trial for 7 days so you can see what we have to offer and why our prices might reflect this :)
Positive experience: Ended my free trial early, sorry folks it is no Bueno. I go to the gym not just for a solid workout but to clear my mind. The clutter here made that near impossible for me, too messy with equipment very close together in the weights area, and appearing disorganized in the calisthenics/yoga area as well. Overall has the equipment you need and supportive staff, just not a nice space in my opinion. Just an uncomfortable experience but if you're not bothered by the cramped workout space it does have everything you need.
Hey Tim! So sorry to hear you did not love our gym layout, we have just rennovated so please feel free to pop back in and check it out if you are ever over here again as we would love to show you our new space! :)
Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: Welcoming team not pushy and great equipment...enough to get me to get back in the gym!!!
Fantastic experience: Best gym I've been to in years. Very clean. The management is helpful when you need it and leaves you to it when you need it. Plus great equipment
Fantastic experience: Great gym. Loved the workout
Negative experience: The gym smelled really bad and was a weird layout... hard to put together a routine
Positive experience: Nice place to train, friendly environment, trainers are helpful. Equipment are in good condition. They have a good collection of songs. I had a good experience.
Positive experience: I have been using the gym for several years and like the convenience of been near the park for running. The showers could be a bit cleaner but that is often the case with a 24 hour gym. I usually go in the morning and it is usually not too many people there so getting to the machine you want is never a problem.
Fantastic experience: This was a great home away from home when I came to work in Christchurch. Unfortunately due to the mosque tragedy or project continued for about a month longer than expected. Riccarton Anytime Fitness was a handy place to train in the evenings and was never really too full. I will return next time I am in Christchurch
Fantastic experience: Great place, friendly staff
Fantastic experience: Decent gym staff are great I would recommend this anytime over the church corner gym in the Riccarton area.
Positive experience: Good gym.
Negative experience: I have not actually joined the gym but I was incredibly keen to - but simply trying to organize a visit and collect information was difficult. Staff were unhelpful and uninterested. Will not be joining now as a result.
Fantastic experience: ok
Fantastic experience: Good place, clean, up to date, very helpful staff
Fantastic experience: Great place so far
Negative experience: Staff arent very good
Positive experience: Currently renovating
Negative experience: The most unprofessional staff I have come across. Hostile and aggressive. Would highly recommend NOT going here
Negative experience: Sufficient equipment but impolite staff, they never greet you. The only thing i receive are stares from them. It makes me feel uncomfortable, now i only go there if i really need to use the equipment that is unavailable at Anytime Fitness Christchurch Airport. Anytime Fitness Riccarton should really solve this problem as i could see from other people's reviews that I'm not the only one feeling the same way. I've been attending this gym since February this year and it has always been the same.You guys should learn to be polite like how the staff members who's currently working at Anytime Fitness Christchurch Airport. They'll greet you and say goodbye when you leave!! I'm not trying to be rude here but please, can the staff members in Anytime Fitness Riccarton at least smile when they see us?
Negative experience: Equipment is tired, rubber handles on cable machines especially are falling apart and sticky from being so old. Rubber coating on plates has chipped off. Tricep ropes have almost worn through. Gym has been "in renovations" since 2016, they closed for a few days over xmas/NY but nothing changed. I've been to over 15 anytime fitness gyms and Riccarton is probably the worst maintained of any ATF. The PTs seem nice but the other comments are correct that the office staff don't seem friendly. I would give 1.5 stars if it was an option
Thank you for highlighting some pieces of equipment that may need replaced or repaired. As you can imagine being a gym that has a high level of weights usage this equipment does take a battering.Yes our renovations, not surprisingly took longer than expected but we are delighted to say they are complete with, 5 new bathrooms, extended functional training floor space, new carpet, full paint job and the addition of our personal training office and consultation room. Obviously we are disappointed that your perspective is that nothing has changed as we beg to differ. We are very thankful for our loyal members for sticking with us during the renovations and we have received great feedback from them.
Negative experience: Staff were rude; instead of being greeted politely, typically receive a stare or curt grunt. Not what I would have expected from people I am putting food on the table for. Equipment lacking; inadequate for number of members especially during peak times. Several cross-trainers and excer-cycles broken; left in service instead of being repaired/replaced immediately. Had to wait on multiple occasions to use weight-stations. No bench racks (had to waste time re-setting racks from squat to bench and vice versa). Have attended three gyms and this was the worst by a wide margin. Expected better, disappointing.
Hi Jimmy,We are so sorry you have had a negative experience with us. Understandably we would like the opportunity to remedy this so we would therefore ask the time and day that you visited, and a description of the staff member you dealt with.This is of particular interest as we have not experienced nor had any other feedback in relation to our equipment which is checked and maintained on a daily basis.In regards to your comment about bench racks, we have a duty of care to our members as a 24/7 facility so all bench work is done in the power racks that provide the relevant safety rails.Look forward to your specific details,Anytime Fitness Riccarton
Fantastic experience: Great gym. They have all the equipment you'd need and its new and well maintained. Staff are friendly and helpful.
Thank you Tristan!
Fantastic experience: Great location. Love anytime fitness!
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, good quality equipment. Great gym!
Fantastic experience: Staff are awesome. They helped me achieve my goals and improved my health/disability. Awesomeness!
Thank you Andrew! It's been great having you back in the club!
Positive experience: Just needs a punching bag. Are there classes?
Thank you Raymond!
Positive experience: My Experience is really good, well maintained gym, good crowd and no interference from the staff or trainers.
Thank you for your feedback! So happy you're enjoying the club.
Negative experience: i do not enjoy working out here i feel really awkward as if i am being watched
Hi Alex, We value all feedback so thank you for taking the time to write this review. Can we please ask you to clarify what about the time you spent with us that made you feel awkward. Obviously for us to remedy the situation we would need more detail. We can only assume your sense of being watched came from our large glass frontage?
Negative experience: I would not recommend going to this Anytime fitness gym, If your able to go to Shirly or Horny I would go there! Every staff member is rude, especially the women. You will not receive a hello or goodbye here, you will only receive stares. I will be working out and on numerous occasions I will have to stop because the instructor has invaded my space or has decided to bring their client right next/on top of me to work out. On one occasion the client came over and apologised because she could see what had happened. The gym is small, however the instructors could make it easier for us and not invade our workout space. The women instructors either stare at me or I can tell they are talking about me, which makes me very uncomfortable. This is not every time, but has happened, at least on two occasions! Some people that go to gyms, may not feel the best about them selves and may feel uncomfortable, on top of feeling that way, going to this gym will make you feel worse. I never do reviews on anything, even if the pizza I ordered was terrible or a staff member was rude to me, I simply don't bother, I'm not someone that's very vocal, nor do I let things get to me. However the workers at this gym have made my experience so uncomfortable every time I go, I needed to write this review and hope they either change their attitudes or even to warn people off. I have been a member of gyms from Australia, UK and NZ and this gym by far is the worst, it's a shame these people are representing Anytime fitness.
Hi Carmen, We value all feedback so thank you for taking the time to write this review. We were wondering if you could clarify how you attended our gym as we have no record of your membership either in NZ or internationally. Further confusion stems from the fact that we have only ever had one female instructor on site. We also note you had a similar experience at PureGym Poole in the UK. We would just like to clarify that it is indeed Anytime Fitness in Riccarton you attend as our sales team are based within an office and our personal trainers, unless with clients, have their own enclosed work space. We value being an inclusive gym environment where anyone is welcome to workout and feel comfortable and secure doing so.
Positive experience: grate place to lose youself in and grate people just needs a bag and matts for ground work but there maybe some
