24 Hour Fitness

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: Cheap membership. Plenty of well-maintained machines.
Cons: The locker rooms are filthier than an aging porn star.

It's plain and simple: you've got to have thick skin to work out at 24 Hour Fitness. Actually, if you're a focused exerciser, and can tune out moderate to heavy leering, it's an adequate place to work out, since there's no shortage of machinery. What...

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: Many classes, lots of gyms, great babysitting
Cons: No racquetball or swimming at my local facilities

When my husband and I decided to join a gym, we really shopped around. We each have different wants and needs from a place so it was a semi-difficult decision. The actual reason we went with 24 Hour Fitness was it fit all of our needs (except my...

Pros: great facilites and staff
Cons: high pressure sales staff

This review started as a comment of workingmomof2 evaluation (which I strongly recommend reading) then developed a life of its own. I joined 24 Fitness nearly two months ago. I am male, 25 and wanted to start doing something in the fitness arena since...

Pros: Easy online enrollment at a great price! (Read more inside)
Cons: Interesting assortment of clientele

As a runner and more of an outdoorsey type of person, I have always loathed gyms. Stuffy, smelly little places crammed full of people wearing ridiculous outfits struggling towards some unattainable panacea of looking good naked in front of the locker...

Pros: Your schedule does not need to work around theirs
Cons: Good coaching is rare, no area to stretch

24hr hour fitness is not one of those places that will hold your hand through the door, and wipe other people's sweat off the seats for you. On the other hand, they are also not going to say, "Sorry, we're closing," This gym is there for you...

Pros: Convenient, clean, cordial staff, reasonable monthly fees.
Cons: Aerobics classes can be a little advanced and a little big for the beginner, needs more cardio machines

So I've been reading a lot of these other reviews for 24 Hour Fitness and I'm starting to feel a little naive, like I wouldn't know a good gym if one if it's personal trainers knocked on my door at 6am and dragged me out of bed to go workout. Well, I've...

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: The place is brand new and equipment is new
Cons: crowded and having to wait long periods for machines

My husband and I joined 24 Hour Fitness in Hayward or San Leandro. weeks ago. It's a brand new club and does have a lot of equipment, but it seems that the number of members exceeds the number of treadmills and such. Sometimes the wait can be pretty...

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: 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: Fitness Fanatiscism raised to mythical proportions.
Cons: The,"Do i look fat?" fitness junkies are future Guess jeans models.

So, you wanna be fit and healthy 24 hours a day now,eh
?You just can't enjoy "down" time,unless you are flexing,pulling,stretching,grunting,straining,exerting,or otherwise struggling against your surroundings? Do ordinary...

Pros: has everything you need !
Cons: All clubs might not be as great as this one!

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...

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...
