Nestled in the heart of Glenelg’s shopping precinct is a popular 24/7 gym, Anytime FitnessGlenelg, a space that welcomes anyone of any fitness, any time. Anytime Fitness is more than just a place to work out, it’s a community hub where fitness, social connection, and local culture come together. Whether you’re a longtime resident or a visitor exploring this vibrant coastal town, stepping into Anytime Fitness Glenelg feels like joining a family.
Joe Wilkie, Club Manager at Anytime Fitness Glenelg, understands the value of being part of such a close-knit neighbourhood. "Being a part of a business within the Glenelg shopping precinct has been very interesting. You walk down the street on the way to the beach, and I’ll be saying hello to people, be waving at people across the street," he says. It’s this sense of friendliness and familiarity that makes the gym feel more welcoming than your average fitness centre.
Beyond the equipment and workout spaces, the gym is a place where friendships are formed. Members don’t just come in, train, and leave, they stay connected. The gym has become a gathering spot for like-minded individuals who not only share fitness goals but also enjoy the social aspects that come with it.
Anytime Fitness Glenelg is more than a place to lift weights and hit the treadmill, it’s a space where community bonds are built. "People will come here to meet and go out with the local running club. They’ll collect here, they’ll meet, they’ll go for a run, they’ll grab a coffee from
The Daily Fix afterwards," Joe explains. It’s not just about individual progress but about creating an environment where members motivate each other in and out of the gym.
This sense of connection is something that makes the Glenelg location unique. Whether it’s training with a friend, joining a group run, or simply having a chat with familiar faces, the gym fosters a social atmosphere that extends beyond fitness.
A prime location for locals and visitors alike, Glenelg is one of Adelaide’s most iconic coastal destinations, drawing in both locals and tourists. Thanks to the 24/7 access model of Anytime Fitness, members from all over the country can take advantage of the gym’s facilities while visiting. "Glenelg brings in a lot of tourists, and while they’re visiting here, because of Anytime Fitness’ access, they can use this gym!" Joe points out. Whether you’re on a weekend getaway or a business trip, you won’t have to miss a workout.
Beyond its thriving fitness culture, Glenelg offers something truly special, its breathtaking sunsets. For Joe, this is one of the greatest perks of working in the area. "Several people tell me on separate occasions that the sunsets you see here in Glenelg are better than anywhere else in the world," he shares. "That’s the real beauty for me... because when I finish work, I can just walk 5 minutes down to the beach, and you can see the sunset and the ocean, and it’s just a really nice vibe!" For gym-goers, this means finishing up an evening session and heading down to the beach for a cool-down walk while soaking in the coastal views, just one of the many reasons why Anytime Fitness Glenelg is more than just a place to work out.
