| ktritenour's Full Review: 24 Hour Fitness |
I Absolutely LOVE 24 hour Fitness. I have never had a bad experience there. I will share with you my experience and the facts that I have learned about the club.
MY EXPERIENCE: When I became a member, I did quite a bit of research and, shall we say, "testing" of the employees. When I first called to get some information, the first person that I spoke with was great; she was up beat, full of energy and very pleasant to speak with. She did state that she couldn’t quote prices over the phone because they change often and it is against pollicies to give out that information. I'm in sales myself and I understand this greatly. I set an appointment to stop in and speak to her about the club, the amenities and to see if the club had what I needed. In the mean time I also called a few other 24-hour fitness clubs to see if I would be receiving the same good quality customer service. I certainly did. Everyone I spoke to was extremely friendly and very up beat. When I came in for my appointment, she came out to greet me and was very pleasant. We talked in depth about my goals. I was planning on training to enter a Ms. Fitness contest and I needed a serious place to work out. I do not like clubs that has members that are there to meet people. I'm there to get in shape, not to socialize. I also needed a personal trainer. I had been thinking about hiring one out of the club because I didn't want just a "Joe Shmoe " that they pulled in off the street to train with me. I found out that all of their personal trainers must have at least 2 national certifications and they prefer that they also have a college degree in the fitness industry. I decided to enroll in a membership that included my training and gave me access to all clubs anywhere. I ended up paying $812.00 for my membership. Now I now what some of you might be thinking-that is expensive! But In actuality, its not. You see the 812.00 covered me for three years. All of my training was paid for. I received nutritional counseling, a workout plan, a cardio plan and a supplementation plan as well. I achieved my goals even before I could comprehend it! And I'm still moving forward and looking better every year! Now, If you break up that 812.00 per month, I only pay 22.56 a month. After my three years I only pay 99.00 per year. (By the way, at my club, the average monthly dues are 34.00 a month. If you prepay as I did, you will receive better rates.) That is only 8.25 a month! I was able to get in the best shape of my life and stay there!
MY TRAINER: I needed a trainer that was extremely knowledgeable. My personal trainer had three certifications, and two college degrees, one in keniesiology, and another in Sports Medicine. He was Awesome! He knew everything! If you go with a trainer be assured they know they are talking about. My trainer and I became great friends and he helped me every step of the way until I achieved my goals. We have become great workout partners and I honestly don't know what I did without him.
The Equipment: 24-hour fitness has more than enough equipment. I have never had to wait for a machine or even sign up to use a piece of cardio equipment. It does sometimes get busy, but 24-hour fitness is so open and spacious that you don't have to wait. They carry brands such as Life Fitness, Icarian, Cybex, Body Master, Hammer Strength, and much more. Everyone will find what he or she is looking for there! If they don't it doesn't exist!
Classes: My clubs has 52 different classes a week. They begin at 5:30am and run throughout the day. My personal favorite s is the spinning classes and the kickboxing classes. The instructors are awesome. (By the way I also found out that the instructors must be certifies as well) They challenge you but they also don't push too hard. They definitely know their stuff!
Staff: I find the staff to be excellent, every time I enter I get greeted and they are always up beat. The entire staff always has a smile on their face! If you have a question they will either answer it, or find someone who can. There are always people on the floor to help you if you have questions about the equipment. I love them all!
I want to add one more thing that is important to me. When I go to work out at 24 hour Fitness, I see a huge variety of people. I see old, young, skinny, fat, tall, short. One thing in common with all of the members is that they are there to get in shape. We are not there to socialize or pick-up people. We are all they’re with a common goal: To Work out and stay healthy!
I would recommend this club to everyone, and I have. If you join, you will love it!
