24 Hour Fitness

Pros: Conveniently open 24 hours a day.
Cons: Besides the convenient hours, nothing else is good. Especially the rude employees.

I am not a member of the 24 Hour Fitness and I will never even consider it. Recently, I went with my friend, as a guest, to the 24 Hour Fitness in San Jose, Ca. When I showed the guest pass to the lady at the front desk, without any explanation, she...

Pros: easy access, nice staff
Cons: dirty, busy aerobics and treadmills, expensive ($45 per month for all access membership) no thrills

The Northpoint Club that I visited recently for a 10-day trial was a very unclean experience. The good things that I saw were, helpful, nice staff. Manager was great and welcomed me. Lots of weights and strength equipment that is not too busy. Good ...

Pros: Nice equipment
Cons: Cons are their specialty.

Signing up at their gym is like visiting a car dealership, as soon as you approach the vultures start to circle. Having already been through the haggling BS many-o-times, I was very direct with the salesman. I told him I've been through this gym sign-up ...

Pros: 24 hours of time
Cons: To much emphasis on your money.

If you are interested in finding a gym that will help you "find time" to workout then this is a big help. Being open 24 -7 is a very nice thing. I find it hard sometimes to get in my workouts around the gyms hours, but I do. Some people need a...

Pros: In Orange County, 24 is your only option. That's not a pro.
Cons: 15 words can't begin to cover all of it.

I've been to all the 24 Hour Costa Mesa locations. Here's a quick round up of my experiences. -24 Hour Sport 19th Street This club is way over due for a make over. The upstairs weight area is cramped, and poorly vented. Like all Costa Mesa 24s ...

Pros: None. Scumbags.
Cons: High-pressure sales techniques. Lies. Lies. Lies.

Okay, I just read a review from an employee who claimed that their "high-pressure sales techniques" exist because they "care about you and your health." Are you kidding me? Not only did I not get the chance to workout on my first visit because they ...

Pros: Numerous Locations
Cons: Corporate Greed

Few would dispute that Nordstrom securely captured the title of "Best of Customer Service Quality" when they issued a confused customer a full cash refund for an off road, Big-O tire. Less well known, however, is that Nicki Taylor's...

Pros: A large variety of workout machines
Cons: Not really 24-hour; mediocre customer service

I signed up for this gym 3 days ago in Los Angeles. I had previously gone to a gym that was nearby, but the low price of 24-hour health and fitness was my main motivation for signing up.. boy, was that a mistake.

First of all, the salesperson...

Pros: Location, some workout machines are clean (i'm pretty sure), good monthly price.
Cons: Dirty pool. REALLY DIRTY. showers too dirty to clean you. Crowded (sometimes). arrogant, in-your-face sales.

I heard about this place from a relative. I heard it was good. Hmmmm. I still managed to keep respect for my relative. I went to a "24 Hour fitness sport": had tredmills, bikes, workout machines, free weights, (etc.), a basketball court and a ...

Pros: Most facilities are have good equipment.
Cons: Forced upgrades (expensive) to use other clubs and BAD customer service!!!!!

I have been with 24 Hour Fitness for over 11 years in San Diego where I originally joined Family Fitness which was an excellent club until it was purchased by 24 Hour Fitness. Recently I moved to Santa Monica and tried to work out at the 24 Hour Fitness ...

Pros: It's inexpensive
Cons: Too many to list.

I have had numerous personal experiences with 24 Hour Fitness empoyees who really don't seem to know what's going on. When I tried to sign up for a membership I couldn't get the same story twice no matter who I talked to. Each time I inquired about a...

Pros: Lots of people in skimpy outfits. Great place for eye candy.
Cons: You can't work out with all the people in your way and hogging the equipment mostly to rest on.

Here's the deal: Learn to take care of yourself so that you don't have to rely on anybody else to do it for you.

I used to work as a PT at the local 24HR Fitness. Truth is, the one I worked at was a Disco with weight machines to rest on. Now...

Pros: Flexible aerobic schedule, month to month, can quit at any time.
Cons: High-pressure sales tactics, dishonest business practices, flaky trainers

After investigating about 8 gyms in the area, I was already very turned off by 24 hour fitness, the first time I went in, nobody was available to help me. I should have taken that as a sign and left well enough alone.

Unfortunately, Their...

Pros: cheap
Cons: Dirty, poor quality and bad customer service

I joined 24 fitness with little hesitation, since hey, according to all their online publicity, I can get 10 days free and then walk away.. Well, that's not all true, for most packages, your time is up after 5 business days, then you are locked in ...

Pros: None
Cons: No service, they don't care about you, they just want your money.

I originally signed up at Linda Evans. I paid $17 for dues and $20 a month for the kids club for 2 kids. 24hr took over and the problems started. They wanted to renovate the club, but didn't realize it was too small for their plans, duh! So ...
