Anytime Fitness grabs national second win for 2026
McCOOK, Neb. — Anytime Fitness has again proved to be the best gym for 2026, scoring top honors in yet another major publication.
On Wednesday, USA Today honored the gym with the title of #1 Best Gym in the United States.

We’re grateful to be part of a brand that’s setting the standard nationally while continuing to invest in our local community.”

The publication wrote, “Anytime Fitness provides members with 24/7 gym access at over 5,000 locations worldwide. Each club features a full suite of cardio machines, free weights, and strength-training equipment, plus functional tools like kettlebells and resistance bands. Many locations offer personal training, small group sessions, and wellness coaching. Clean, private showers and a supportive app with workout tracking and virtual programs add to the convenience.”
This ranking is quite a jump from their seventh-place finish last year.
