Anytime Fitness to open Oct. 15

[October 06, 2011]  Anytime Fitness, the world's largest and fastest growing 24-hour coed fitness franchise, is opening in Lincoln at 716 N. Logan St. A grand opening is planned for Oct. 15 from 1 to 6 p.m.

The CEO of Anytime Fitness, Josh Slightom, is very enthusiastic about opening the new club in Lincoln.

"The convenience and affordability of Anytime Fitness can't be beat," said Slightom. "Choosing this club makes it easy for members to stay committed to their fitness goals."

At Anytime Fitness, members can work out any time of the day or night, every day of the year. Members use a security access key to enter the club, even when it is not staffed. Once inside, members have full use of state-of-the-art strength training and cardiovascular equipment. Anytime Fitness also allows reciprocity among its clubs, which allows members to use any of the 1,600-plus clubs that are currently open in the United States, Canada and Australia.

The layout of the club is designed for quick and effective exercise. The equipment options include circuit and cross-training machines, free weights, stationary bicycles, and treadmills. Private showers and dressing areas are also available at the club.

"Anytime Fitness clubs are pared down to the essentials necessary for a great workout," said Slightom. "Where we don't cut corners is in our personal service and commitment to our members. We are excited to be in Lincoln, and it's our goal to become an active member of the community."

To celebrate its grand opening, Anytime Fitness is offering a free seven-day trial membership.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony will be on Oct. 14 at 2 p.m.

Club tours will be available during the grand opening celebration. Membership information is available at the club by calling 217-732-1155 or by visiting their website at www.anytimefitness.com.
