Anytime Fitness is one of the best gyms I've been. Helpful staff, always clean, and involved in the community. — Christine Knox

Anytime Fitness is hands down the best gym around. It makes it much easier to go to the gym when you look forward to seeing the smiling faces there to greet you. In my opinion, no one can compete with the customer service I have received at Anytime Fitness in Clearwater. I absolutely love Chelsea and the rest of the staff. Thanks so much for making fitness fun! :) — Danielle Felten

I was one of those people who buys a membership and then never goes, but thanks to the support from the staff at Anytime Fitness (and a few nudging phone calls) I have been able to keep my workout routine and really see results. — Ricky Debord

Anytime Fitness has until next week to prepare its acceptance speech, when we'll be paying the owners a visit, asking about what makes their service special and presenting them with their 2012 Readers' Choice certificate. 

Thank you to all of the readers and local businesses who participated in our tournament, and stay tuned for more Readers' Choice competitions in the future.
