24 Hour Fitness

Pros: Reasonably priced, clean surroundings
Cons: Personal trainers! Ugh!

I quit smoking a couple of months ago, and had mentioned in passing to my husband how I'd like to join a health club. The combination of quitting smoking and bearing four children has done quite a number on my physique, I'm afraid. While meandering our...

Pros: A fun place to work out and meet people.
Cons: Sometimes there can be alot of people there.

I work an average work day an eight to five schedule. I would work out after I got off of work but I have a girlfriend that takes up alot of my time. So twenty four hour fitness is really quite convienant for me. I drop my girlfriend off around 10 and...

Pros: great variety in classes and equipment, courteous staff
Cons: mediocre babysitting hours, can get pricey if not using some kind of discount

I joined the 24 Hour Fitness Branch in my town around September last year with my mom because she worked for the high school district and was able to get herself and I a discount.

The facility was large, it had all your cardio machines on...

Pros: Many Locations, Reasonable Fees, Friendly Staff
Cons: Not always 24 hours, rude clientele (some locations), too many restrictions

Been a member at 24 Hour Fitness Center since they have taken over Family Fitness and Gold's Gyms (among others?).. so it's been about 10 years. Excellent gym overall, but I prefer some of their older locations. This is my take on it: Older ...

Pros: Clean facility, great hours, friendly staff
Cons: High pressure sales, prime time hours are crowded

I used to work for 24 Hour Fitness in Colorado when I was in College. I was a member for 2 years bef ...

Pros: Open 24 Hours a day, as the name states.
Cons: Crowded, with lots of socializers tying up the machines.

I chose to join the Larkspur branch (in Marin County, California) of 24 Hour Fitness over the half dozen or so other gyms in my area primarily due to the fact that it is open 24 hours a day, just like the name implies. I paid for two years, and got a...

Pros: healthy, fun
Cons: you have to make a effort...

(This epinion is not really about 24 Hour Fitness but rather about one of the classes available at some branches. It doesn't really fit anywhere else.)

If you want to be healthy you've got to eat sensibly and exercise. Most people know that's...

Pros: affordable, lots of machines, friendly members, good hours
Cons: no pool, smelly locker room, crowded peak hours

I recently graduated from a four year university and as many college alumni can testify, the life of an undergraduate can be an unhealthy one. Since I now have more free time, I resolved to undo the damage done by four years of greasy cuisine. I have...

Pros: Equipment, Classes, Open 24 hours
Cons: Price, Crowded

If you go at a time that is not that busy you may be in heaven. If you go between 5-7 oh man have fun. The after work rush is insane in this place. There are people everywhere and the machines are mostly taken. I hope you are not chlostroophopic....

Pros: variety of classes, always a special sign up program, nice equipment
Cons: very crowded, pricey application & processing fees

Recently I enrolled in a special at for the summer program for college students at the 24 hour fitness close to my house. I walked in and was pretty much impressed right away. The equipment is all color coded so that you know what area you are working...

Pros: Affordable, clean, courteous.
Cons: Constant repairs on whirlpool and all "good" treadmills always taken.

When the martial arts school I was attending closed its doors, I had to find a fitness facility. I visited the nearby 24 Hour Fitness "Sport" facility on Ocean Avenue in San Francisco. I signed a liability form and met with a membership counselor. I ...

Pros: Efficient, predictable, generally clean, priced right, trained trainers, YOU CAN BUY ONLINE
Cons: It is "mass market", sales people ARE pushy, and sometimes they are "driven" mercilessly

OK, I was an Exec at 24 Hour. My non-disclosure is expired . . . so here goes. It's a great organization, for the most part! It's mass market fitness, but priced accordingly. There are tens of thousands of employees, most, not all certainly, are ...

Pros: Convenient locations, ablility to haggle on the fees, variety of equipment
Cons: Difficult machines, semi-pushy sales, limited plans

I just moved to Kansas City a month ago and needed to find a gym here. I noticed there was a 24-Hour Fitness Sport just down the street. I called to inquire about prices & was asked to come down to take a tour. I didn't mind this so much because I ...

Pros: Fantastic Array Of Equipment
Cons: Long Lines At Peak Hours

Even though the sign says “24hr Fitness,” make sure you find out the hours of the club you will be going to the most because they don’t all stay open 24 hours. I learned this lesson the hard way when I showed up to my local club at midnight only to find...

Pros: Relatively cheap, open 24hrs, variety of classes, good instructors
Cons: can get crowded, not always very clean

I have had memberships to many gyms of all types, highscale, low scale, and then theres 24 hour fitness. 24 Hour Fitness if your middle ground. Its not upscale like healthworks and other posh gyms/country clubs, but its not rundown and made for jocks...
