Anytime Fitness open 24/7 on Henderson Street – Galesburg Register-Mail

GALESBURG A new gym has been open for about a month in Galesburg and continues to grow.

Chip Staeball owns Anytime Fitness, 1964 N. Henderson St., which formerly housed Happy Joes about two years ago.

We chose that location. We liked the exposure. The landlord was real good about renovating the space from the old Happy Joes and creating a new space for Anytime Fitness, he said.

It opened on March 15 and is staffed for about eight to ten hours a day, but customers can access the gym 24/7 with a key fob.

People love the facility, the way that it is so spacious. Great free-weight area with amenities that a weight lifter would expect ... cardio that I know would be very new to the area, Staeball said.

He further said he had been eyeing the Galesburg market for about 18 months and also operates gyms in Muscatine, Burlington and Rock Falls. That means while he was looking to open here the Knox County YMCA announced, and opened, its downtown location with 24/7 access.

I knew that going in and it wasnt a major concern because we are different than a YMCA, Staeball said.

The types of services that weoffer are much different than a YMCA. Our personal training program is exclusive to Anytime Fitness. Were more of a coaching club ... were a little more welcoming towards somebody thats serious about working out.

Adam Sampson, chief executive officer of the Knox County YMCA, said another gym is welcomed in Galesburg.

Obviously were a little different than for-profit organizations where we use the profits for the community, he said.

Weve seen little to no impact to the usage and to the numbers of members since Anytime opened.

Staebell said Anytime Fitness is the first gym franchise in the country to offer a smartphone app.

You can choose that workout for the day and it will take you through all the exercises and show you examples of how the correct form and how much weight and how (many) reps, he said.

New clients meet with a professional trainer and have a plan set up, and then it is revisited about 30 days later to see where they have made progress with weight loss or increased muscle depending on the plan.

We will continue to grow, Staebell said.
