GOLD22

Seems to be a generic corporate coupon that is getting passed around at the moment.

A few people in the comments on the last page are being asked for proof of employment at the businesses that are associated with this deal. In the link below, scroll up and you can see all those businesses. If you can figure out how to convince AF you work at one of those businesses, you should be able to start a discounted membership.

  • Go to https://www.anytimefitness.com.au/corporate-membership/#part…
  • Select your local gym; if listed
  • If you are actually going to sign up, enter your real contact info. If you are just checking prices, enter bogus contact information otherwise they will start the marketing calls/emails. Continue.
  • Enter the GOLD22 code and whatever the weekly fee is for that gym will be reduced to $15.16 per week for a year long contract.

Not the greatest price in the world, but cheaper than if you were going to just sign up normally.

$0 joining fee but keep in mind the $79 fob you need to buy is non-refundable. I've been told you can use it again and avoid the charge if you stop your membership and then sign up again later.

    Anytime tried to force me to go to the gym I signed up at to cancel.
    It was over 11 hours drive away from where I'd moved to.

    I'll never sign up with them again.

          I had explained it wasn't possible multiple times as I moved 12+ hours away from the gym I signed up at.
          After they kept insisting I HAD to go to that specific gym to cancel, I said I'd seek legal advice as it was not possible for me.
          That same day I was advised my membership was cancelled.

          Pretty sure regardless of the contract, it wasn't exactly legal.

          I'm sure things have changed since then, as this was 5+ years ago. Probably more around 7-8.

            @ihuntbargains: I cancelled my Anytime membership via email. I highly recommend this method over a phone call, as everything is in writing.

            I went through the 'can't cancel over phone' runaround you experienced, but with Fitness First, back in the day. Not knowing any better, I ended up going in, where some female staff member with skimpy workout gear was deployed to convince me to stay. They were seriously pushy about it, which made me even happier with my decision to cancel.

              Too bad she didnt do enough to convince you.

            @ihuntbargains: Yes much has changed. Need to cancel via Home Gym and it was a long drive for me too but I had no problem cancelling via email. The one thing I wish I knew earlier is they need 30 days notice to cancel.

            • John Doh on 12/01/2024 - 15:54

              @firestint: I believe 30 days is pretty standard these days for non-contract membership.

    • patso on 12/01/2024 - 14:56

      What did your contract say? I'm sure something along the lines of written notice which means you do not need to go to the gym

      • ihuntbargains on 12/01/2024 - 15:25
        +2

        This was like 5+ years ago.
        They said "all our contracts state you have to go in person to the gym you signed up at to cancel your membership".
        I just told them that I'll seek legal advice as I can not go down to the gym. That made them cancel my membership. So they COULD do it all along.

          That doesn’t seem like it would hold up in court. What if you were injured and could not attend in person to cancel membership? I would think a signed letter sent registered post would be hard to argue with (assuming you abide by notice period, etc)

        • patso on 12/01/2024 - 16:09

          Good stuff

    • End3vour on 12/01/2024 - 15:19

      It's probably because they're all franchises? I signed up near my office and then happened to train at my local AF a number of times in a row and they automatically transferred the membership. So actually this could be a solution for you (still annoying but better than driving 11 hours). Don't even need to train, go there a number of times and swipe in.

      • ferguson on 12/01/2024 - 23:12

        That sounds like a lot of hassle to cancel something which you are no longer using.

        • End3vour on 13/01/2024 - 09:19

          Totally agree. But as I said if the only alternative is 11 hours of driving then it’s not so bad.

      Revo tried this and I just said I can't get there as I work long hours, so they sent me a form. Still pissed me off, just send me the form to start with if there's a form, especially for a company that boast in their marketing about no contracts, cancel any time blah blah blah.

      Whenever I see the gym membership deal, I run so further away so fast that I no longer need a gym for next 2 years :)

      Been bitten by a contract I signed (due to my lack of maturity), proved them a legit medical reasons twice but they won't budge.

    Not bad (assuming you get access to 1 of the more recently opened/ renovated locations) considering cost-of-living crisis for many atm.

    • marcus84 on 12/01/2024 - 15:15

      I suspect the reason they do this is because gym memberships usually have a cooling off period; if you cancel within the cooling off period, the joining fee is refundable but not the key fob fee.

    • MrSerotoninMan on 12/01/2024 - 16:26

      First time replying on here but you don't need the fob. You can download AF App and use your phone's NFC to tap in. I'm not sure if all the branches have that feature yet. Cheers!

      Last time I was training at AF regularly they asked me to switch gyms when I moved house and starting being a regular at another location.
      Your "base" gym gets the lion share of your membership $ so it's technically not fair on the other gym you regularly use.

    Can confirm, I re-joined after a year off and they just re-enabled my existing fob. I've since cancelled again but holding onto the fob in case I ever feel the need to re-rejoin
