Testimonials

“A place that at first I thought would be a gym, turned out to be another family I didn’t even know I needed. It’s a place to walk in feeling sad, stressed, or tired and walk out feeling like a new person. It’s a place to walk in happy and walk out even happier. It’s a one stop shop for healthy foods and snacks or that merch you’ve been eyeing because you’ve been working so hard and earned it. It’s a place ran by a Christian family who loves their people and loves God even more. A family who makes sure their business model includes giving back to the community and back to their members.”- Lisa Rooms

“I Love being part of Anchor Family. Over the past 3 years I have made great friends, have had the best coaches who have pushed me to limits I have never thought possible, and have gotten to share this with my sons Adam and Greg (and now my daughter in law Regina also!)
I am still amazed and appreciative to the transformation for my family not just physically but also mentally and emotionally, from being part of this great gym.” -Bonnie S

“I woke up after having my third child weighing 315lbs and decided I was done. I needed a change. I was miserable, depressed, unhappy with myself. I wanted to be a good mother, wife, and have the energy to do it all!
I joined the Anchor challenge in Fall 2017. I won that challenge. One of my absolute best memories at Anchor. I lost around 50lbs in just a few months sticking to the Anchor meal plan.
In January 2018, I lost around 60lbs during the project. Since August 2018 I have maintained around the same weight and have mostly led a clean eating lifestyle through Paleo.
Now I have aspirations to compete competitively. I have won or made the podium at several local competitions and made it to Quarter Finals last year during the Crossfit Open. Anchor has taught me anything is possible. My ambitions may be far-fetched but that 300lb woman a few years ago would have never imagined I could be where I am today so why can’t that happen again?! I now know anything is possible through hard work and determination. Anchor has given me a place I call home, some of the best friends, and a whole new life I never thought possible.” - Torie C

A MESSAGE FROM THE OWNERS
“We love Batavia and one of the the greatest blessings Anchor has provided us is connection to a network of incredible people who are changing the community. When there’s a call to action- we try to meet it, with the help of our incredible members. We saw a need for a gym where you could be challenged to work hard, while feeling the support of a community and guidance from experienced trainers who truly care about your health and wellness goals. We offer group fitness without the intimidation. Our journey began with just a handful of female members wanting to have healthier lives and has over the last few years transformed into now purchasing our very own26,000+ sq. ft. facility t continue to plant our roots with an awesome thriving community who now calls Anchor Fitness their second home. We are family.”
