Anytime Fitness held its Grand Re-Opening Tuesday to show off the remodeled facility and some new equipment. It was the first update the fitness center, 1718 First Ave. E., has done since opening six years ago.

“We wanted to get things fresh again, we can just tell when some of the stuff started to get bad. It was just time to redo it,” said Jeremy Vesely, manager. “We remodeled new carpet, new floors, new paint, a few new pieces of equipment, everything.”

The color scheme went from blue shades to brighter purples and greens to help brighten up the facility. New features for customers include rubber mats, a new elliptical, new, wider televisions with a better picture and tinted front windows, a new feature that has been popular.

The center was never completely closed during the remodel. Different parts were always open for customers to use to continue their workout routines during the update. In total, the remodel took about a month to a month and a half to complete and so far the response has been pretty positive.

“The remodel at our Anytime Fitness is great. It’s more inviting when you walk in the door and the motivation wall is great too. It’s awesome to see everyone’s goals and encouragement to one another,” said Jenn Cross, a current customer. “It’s nice to have TVs on all of the machines. We got some new equipment and a couple new machines too. It’s a great place to work out and I am glad to be a member.”
