Anytime Fitness Five Cross Roads is a 24/7 gym on Fifth Avenue in Hamilton's Five Cross Roads, part of the global Anytime Fitness network but run by a local team. The club's promise is simple: you've got this, and they've got you. Members train whenever it suits them with secure 24-hour access, while a welcoming, knowledgeable staff keeps the club friendly and personal.
The floor covers all the bases. Cardio machines range from treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers and exercise cycles to stair climbers, rowing machines, spin bikes and ski ergs, many with TVs. Strength trainers get squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, plate-loaded stations and a lifting platform, while the functional zone stocks kettlebells, battle ropes, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, BOSU trainers, TRX suspension gear, resistance bands and more. There are private restrooms and showers, an EVOLT body composition scanner, free classes and vitamins and supplements on hand, with convenient parking right outside.
Coaching is the heart of the club. Services include personal training, small group training, weekly AF Group Training circuits, fitness assessments and remote coaching, all built around personalised plans. Manager Jade Norman, staff member Lucretia Thompson and trainer Jake White lead a team that prides itself on making everyone feel they belong, whatever their starting point.
Memberships are customised with the team and include worldwide access to 5,000+ Anytime Fitness gyms plus the AF app. The office is staffed Monday to Thursday 10am-7pm, Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday 9am-12pm; Sundays and public holidays are unstaffed.
Tucked into the Five Cross Roads neighbourhood at Tenancy A1, 9 Fifth Avenue, Anytime Fitness Five Cross Roads is a Hamilton gym built around a simple promise: you've got this, and they've got you. Part of the worldwide Anytime Fitness network but run by a local team, the club is open to members around the clock, every day of the week, with 24-hour security and a staff that prides itself on being welcoming and friendly.
It is a deliberately unpretentious kind of place. The team talks about supporting people rather than selling to them, and members are encouraged to say hi, ask questions and treat the club like a second home. Whether you are chasing your first unassisted push-up, training for a local 5K, or simply trying to move more after years away from exercise, the starting point is always your goal, not someone else's program.
Members come and go on their own schedule: an early session before work, a late-night workout after a shift, or a quiet Sunday visit are all completely normal here. Security monitoring keeps the club safe during the hours when no staff are on site. When you do want to talk to a human, the office is staffed Monday to Thursday from 10am to 7pm, Friday from 10am to 4pm, and Saturday from 9am to 12pm. Sundays and public holidays are unstaffed, so new visitors should plan a first stop-in during those windows or join online. Convenient parking right at the club makes quick visits painless.
The floor is organised into zones that cover most training styles. Cardio machines include treadmills, elliptical cross-trainers, exercise cycles, stair climbers, rowing machines, spin bikes and ski ergs, many with built-in TVs to keep longer sessions interesting. The strength area offers squat racks, barbells, dumbbells, plate-loaded stations and a dedicated lifting platform for barbell work. The functional zone stocks kettlebells, battle ropes, medicine balls, plyometric boxes, BOSU trainers, jump ropes, resistance bands, suspension training with TRX and a multi-functional rack. Private restrooms and showers round out the facilities, and an EVOLT scanner is on hand to track body composition over time.
What regulars talk about most is the people. Manager Jade Norman, who moved to Hamilton from Kawakawa in the Far North in 2020, is upfront about how fitness changed her own life for the better and loves helping others keep going. Lucretia Thompson, with a study background in beauty, health and wellbeing, focuses on making sure everyone feels they belong from the moment they step inside. Trainer Jake White became a coach after his own body transformation and works with members who want guidance getting started.
The coaching offer goes well beyond machines on a floor. Members can book personal training and small group training, start with a fitness assessment to benchmark where they are, or opt for remote coaching through the AF app. Personalised plans are built for goals as different as hiking Kilimanjaro or running a local 5K.
AF Group Training runs functional circuit workouts every week, giving members a ready-made session and a regular way to meet other people at the club. Classes are included as part of membership, so there is no extra cost to turn up and join in. For many members these sessions become the backbone of their weekly routine.
A membership here travels with you: it works at more than 5,000 Anytime Fitness locations worldwide, and the club keeps vitamins and supplements on hand for post-workout top-ups. Plans start at $19.99 a week, with rates varying by location and current promotions, and the team will help build a customised membership that fits what you actually need.
