Anytime Fitness, a growing 24-hour co-ed fitness franchise, is open in the Garnet Valley Plaza in Chadds Ford and will celebrate its grand opening in the Garnet Valley Plaza in Chadds Ford at noon on Friday, July 11.

The club plans a ribbon cutting ceremony, refreshments and giveaways from local vendors.  The new fitness center is next to Firebirds Restaurant and Sache Boutique and is staffed roughly 10 hours a day.  However, members may access the club 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, even during unstaffed hours – using a computerized key-fob system.

“We make it easy for our members to exercise whenever and however they like” said Rachelle Fletcher, Anytime Fitness club owner.  “The gym will always be clean and well-maintained, featuring the best exercise equipment available.  We have personal trainers to help you learn how to use all of the equipment and who can develop an individualized workout plan, if you like.”

Membership at one Anytime Fitness franchise gives members access to over 2,400 clubs worldwide and to AnytimeHealth.com, a comprehensive online wellness support system with nutrition and workout tracking.

“For many people, joining a gym can be an intimidating experience” said Fletcher.  “Our gym is small enough that we can provide personalized attention for all of our members.  Whether weight-loss is your goal, or increased strength or improved balance and flexibility – or a combination of those things – at Anytime Fitness, we’re able to help you achieve whatever results you seek.”

The club offers state-of-the-art circuit and resistance machines; free weights, smart phone-compatible cardio equipment including treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and rowers; free group fitness classes;  free personal fitness consultation; and private bathrooms, changing rooms and showers.
