Anytime Fitness Prices

I pay $36/MO no contract at my Anytime. No idea what it cost elsewhere.

Do each of the gyms operate on different price scales?

The way I understand it, this is correct. Not all gyms have the same equipment and some are nicer than each other and the price reflects that.

It’s difficult to directly compare Anytime Fitness to Planet Fitness as they’re really intended to target two different audiences.

Planet Fitness is geared toward more cardio and novice lifters. That’s not to say that an experienced lifter can’t get a good workout at a Planet Fitness, just saying that the equipment will be geared more toward novice lifters. DB weights will generally be more limited and generally you won’t see any free weight barbells (only Smith machines).

Anytime Fitness is more of a full fledged gym. They will have the cardio equipment, but they’ll also have a wider selection of free weights. Their DB weights will generally go higher than PF and they’ll have barbells available in addition to smith machines. They’ll be much smaller than a full fledged “fitness club”, but they should have everything that even the most advanced lifter would need. The limited space and amount of equipment could leave you waiting if you go during peak hours, depending on the location.

ETA: Anytime Fitness member in NOLA - think I pay $42/month after tax. Think I had to sign up for a year.

I have Blue cross as well, interesting.

I’ve always paid 30 a month at the local Anytime Fitness, a few months ago a new owner took over and raised the price to 35 a month. After talking to the manager I paid for a year at the 30 a month rate.

I'm not real sure, as I only go to Anytime, but I believe you have to get setup at each chain, but once you get your keycard for that chain you can visit any of their locations. If you want to go different ones, you may just have to pack separate keycards.
