Novi's Anytime Fitness Features Hi-Tech Machines

Gym members can get their cardio exercise while watching TV or surfing the web.

Anytime Fitness members can work out any time of the day and, more importantly, they can enjoy themselves while doing it. 

"Convenience is what brings people in," said Patrick May, manager of the Novi location.

The gym opened in Novi, at 47980 Grand River Ave. across from Providence Park Hospital, almost five months ago and recently celebrated its official ribbon cutting.

All cardio equipment, like ellipticals and treadmills, have touch-screens that let gym members plug in their iPods or iPads, listen to music, watch TV and surf the web. 

"You can update your Facebook. Let everyone know that you're working out," May said.
