New to West Linn, Nikki and Eddie Naseef came from Las Vegas with open eyes and hearts, on the lookout for a place to open a fitness center. When they were looking for spots to open the gym they were especially drawn to the ‘synergy’ of the Cascade Summit area, and felt that it would be a perfect spot for Anytime Ftiness.

Hoping to open in mid or late December, the Naseefs have set a few goals for themselves and their new gym.

“We will offer a fun, friendly and clean environment that is free of intimidation,” Naseef said.  “We want our members to feel as though they are part of the family and also feel like they have ownership in the gym. Our ultimate goal is to be the best and for our members to feel that they can approach us, as the owners, at any time with questions, comments, concerns and of course compliments!”

With the goal of making their gym mesh like a family, they are looking forward to bringing the community together through staying active.

“We have been welcomed with open arms by our fellow West Linn-ers and are excited to meet new people, make great friends and help people reach their fitness goals,” Naseef, said.

With the ambition to make their members feel like they have ownership of the gym, Anytime Fitness is open 24/7, allowing members to workout anytime that is convenient for them.

Since Anytime Fitness is open all hours of the day it is difficult for there to be staff on duty all day. The staff hours of 10 a.m.-12p.m. and 3 p.m. -6 p.m. Mon- Fri and 10 a.m-2 p.m. on Sat. and only by appointment on Sundays.

Anytime Fitness offers high quality security, to reassure members of their safety and make them feel more comfortable. Anytime Fitness gives each member personal safety devices and there are approximately 13 security cameras surrounding the center.

“We take security very seriously,” Naseef said.
