BUCYRUS, OH (CRAWFORD COUNTY NOW)—A local gym is offering area residents another way to “make healthy happen.”

Anytime Fitness, 199 S. Stetzer Road, is kicking off the new year with promotions to encourage fitness – anytime, anywhere. A gym that’s open around-the-clock. A place known around the world as “the most convenient gym on the planet.”

“Basically 24/7, 365 days a year, and that’s what sets us apart from any other facility,” said Alexa Albright, general manager for Anytime Fitness in Bucyrus. “We have 5,200 locations worldwide, so memberships include access to all of our locations.”

Anytime Fitness, which opened in 2018, has a limited number of gift certificates for sale, which are valued at 50-percent off a one-year membership. This would make a great Valentine’s Day gift. The deals are available online through North Central Ohio Deals. At this time there are only 3 gift certificates left.

A membership to Anytime Fitness includes access to all equipment, from treadmills and trainers to free weights, rowing machines, and power racks. But Albright said classes are also a big draw, especially Zumba, spinning, and body conditioning.

The club, she said, offers personalized fitness plans as well as small group training. Coaches are on hand to provide professional support inside the gym and out with programs to help members meet their fitness goals and resources to keep them engaged, she said.

In the studio room, exercise on demand is also available – guided workouts which are similar to classes, all geared toward burning fat and calories, Albright said. “Those are good tools for beginners just getting started.”

Other resources, she said, include body composition analysis and, for a trial period, access to thousands of workouts at your fingertips – even yoga – through the Apple Fitness+ app, which has partnered with Anytime Fitness for the wellness experience.

The facility also has private showers and tanning beds, Albright said, along with monthly fitness challenges and – more importantly – a community of support. “We strive for a close community feel in here which is welcoming to any fitness level, age, and body type.”

Although one- and two-year memberships are the best value, Albright said, other plans are available. The fitness center also discounts memberships for teachers, military personnel, and first responders, she said, and has a member referral program.
