Price Comparison

Jetts starts at $14.95/week with no joining fee, making the total cost to try Jetts for a month about $60.

Over 12 months, Jetts at $14.95/week costs $777.40, while Anytime Fitness at $16.95/week costs $881.40 plus the initial $49 joining fee — a total of $930.40.

Flexibility vs Commitment

The biggest difference is contractual. Jetts offers pure flexibility — no joining fee, no minimum term, cancel anytime by notifying the gym. Anytime Fitness requires a 12-month commitment (some locations 6 months) and a $49 joining fee. If you're unsure about committing to a gym, or if you plan to cancel within 6 months, Jetts eliminates the financial risk. If you're confident you'll stay for 12 months, the Anytime contract isn't a burden.

24/7 Access

Both gyms offer 24/7 access with keyfob entry. You can train at 3am, on public holidays, and on Christmas Day at either gym. This is the core product both offer — round-the-clock, unstaffed access. Neither has staffed facilities, so you won't find personal training on the gym floor or facility support during off-hours. If you need 24/7 equipment access without classes or facility staff, both gyms deliver equally.

Equipment and Facilities

Both Jetts and Anytime Fitness offer basic, no-frills 24/7 equipment. You'll find cardio, free weights, and basic resistance machines. Neither has pools, saunas, or group fitness classes (with rare exceptions at some Anytime locations). Equipment quality is consistent across both chains — no premium facilities, but solid enough for solo strength and cardio training. If you need pools, saunas, or classes, neither gym is suitable.

Club Network and Travel

Anytime Fitness has over 100 NZ locations and worldwide reciprocal access — if you travel internationally or move regions frequently, Anytime's global network is a genuine advantage. Jetts has 20+ locations in NZ and no international access. For people staying in one region, Jetts is adequate. For frequent movers or international travellers, Anytime Fitness' worldwide network justifies the premium.

Who Should Choose Jetts?

Anyone wanting to try a gym with zero financial risk
People on tight budgets who want the cheapest option
Members wanting complete flexibility to cancel anytime
Those who don't travel internationally and stay in one NZ region
Anyone uncomfortable with long-term contracts

Who Should Choose Anytime Fitness?

Shift workers and frequent travellers who value global access
People confident they'll commit for 12 months
Members who want reciprocal access across 100+ NZ clubs
Anyone planning international travel who wants gym access worldwide
Those who don't mind paying for convenience and network breadth

The Verdict

Jetts is the better choice if you want to try a 24/7 gym with zero risk and lowest cost. Anytime Fitness is better if you travel frequently, want global access, and can commit to 12 months. For most NZ members staying put, Jetts' flexibility and zero joining fee make it the smarter financial choice. For frequent travellers, Anytime's worldwide network and consistency justify the extra cost and commitment.
