AF App
How does the digital key feature work for door access?
The digital key uses Bluetooth to unlock your gym door. Just open the app, hold your phone near the scanner, and the door will click open. It saved me a 20-minute drive when I forgot my key fob.
Can I book classes and track workouts with this app?
Yes, you can book classes in just a few taps—I booked a Saturday yoga session in about three taps. There's also a workout logger for tracking exercises, sets, and reps, though it feels a bit bare-bones and not very intuitive.
Why does the app ask for my precise location all the time?
The app requests precise location access even when not in use, which can seem alarming. However, you can deny this permission and still use the door scanner with Bluetooth alone, so it's likely unnecessary for core functions.
The app feels sluggish and the workout logger is frustrating. Is there a fix?
The app can stutter when scrolling or switching tabs, and entering weight for each set feels slow. There's no built-in fix, but you can try closing background apps or restarting your phone; otherwise, it's a limitation of the current design.
How does AF App compare to other gym apps like Fitbod or Gymshark?
Unlike Fitbod or Gymshark, AF App focuses narrowly on Anytime Fitness membership essentials—door access, class booking, and basic logging—all for free. It lacks the polished workout plans and social features of competitors, but it's indispensable for members who need reliable keyless entry.
