24 Hour Fitness

I haven’t stepped foot into this gym in awhile but it’s my top 3 when I lived back at home.
Back then I would’ve given this place 3 stars but I am going to give it 4 because of NEW MACHINES!!!
From treadmills, stair masters, elliptical, this really cool looking one that looks like you’re going up a rocky trail and a few more squat racks & the Olympic pull up ropes right smack in the middle of the gym. I thought that was the coolest when I walked in!
The women’s locker room remodeled as well. Pretty neat! I think this gym just went up to #2!
I typically like to avoid traffic hours so I usually am pleased with the crowd and open machines to use.
GOOD GAME ON KEEPIN THIS GYM CLEAN NOW!
I really miss the ego boost I get here hahahaaha.

It’s an okay gym– it’s been around for a long long time. It’s close to my house which is why I frequent it. But darn it smells bad– always the smell of sweat with no ventilation. It’s also extremely busy — hard to get a machine if you go at peak hours.

This 24 Hour Fitness location gets a 5 star rating for lots of reasons. The biggest reason is the U-​Jam instructor, Cheryl! I have so much fun in her class Thursday nights at 7:30PM! Cheryl’s husband «Alf» paricipates in the class. They are both, down to Earth, friendly people. The atmosphere is joyful, and familial! I can’t say enogh nice things about this class. I’m hooked!
The front counter staff is always nice. Denshay in partucular is always there to greet me with a bright smile. The other staff are great too.

I extremely love this gym its better then L.A. fitness.
The young girl Mariana has excellent costumer service and really cares for costumers.

It’s Garden Grove. Need I say more? People here have no sense of decency. Some others will use the swimming pool as a giant bathtub to rinse off. Not sure if I should ease up on this gym Bc they can’t help that garden grove is not the nicest area, but it doesn’t really help that the gym is still pretty disgusting.

UNPROFESSIONAL, DISRESPECTFUL, SHADY
DONT GO HERE!!!
–If you want a fare monthly rate $ 9.99 and to just use good gym equipment got to CHUZE Fitness
–If you want amazing trainers, a positive atmosphere to experience real results PAY the extra $$ and go UFC GYM.
To start off, Ive been directly involved with the gym industry for years now as well as a paying consumer of gym memberships for a lifetime. Needless to say, I think anyone who has had a gym membership anywhere has has to deal with some sort or another of these gym sales shenanigans to straight up FRAUD at times.
That being said, I was a member for about 7 years. They recently CANCELED my membership for reasons and excuses that are extremely unclear. Spending countless hours and weeks trying to resolve this simple issue, the gym management points the finger at Corporate office and the Corporate office points the finger at the gym management and «The System», myself and anything else thats not the person Im currently talking to… how silly and unprofessional.
Im trying I give you my money, You dont want it??? I hear that ownership has change a couple times in the last so many years and they dont like the old grandfathered memberships. It’s only obvious that the contract I had with them was something the new gym owners did not want to honor any further because I was grandfathered in with a too low of a membership rate.
I had an annual membership, paying once a year for the whole year. I paid something like $ 700 up front when I signed up to get this benefit/​deal. Here in 2016 when its time to renew they cancel it stating that I didn’t fully pay for my 2014 year, Due to a price increase they never told me about, and had to cancel. «But hey, You can re-​sign up for new membership at a HIGHER monthly rate». Seriously??? Sounds like they want to boost up there new membership metrics by canceling old ones and bamboozling loyal customers into new higher rates.
So many things wrong with this, How do you retro back 2 years and say I never paid for my membership after Ive been checking in and using your gym daily for those 2 years?
Here is the count 24 Hour Fitness: (In only 2 months)
50+ People Ive discouraged from even considering your gym
12 People Ive successfully convinced to purchase a gym membership elsewhere
9 Number of members Ive successfully convinced to cancel their membership
3 Employees that have resigned and decided to work for more reputable gym
7 Current employees that will not recommend there workplace as a fit place to buy a membership due to both this issue and other similar issues they have witnessed at employees.

Upgrade your equipment, clean up the restroom and do some maintenance. Sheesh… So nasty!
Canceled my membership and signed up for planet fitness.
Disappointment

So I guess my ID wasn’t valid enough to use a guest pass. I had to prove that I just moved here to use a guest pass… Is a form of valid government ID not good enough to just use the gym? Why would I need to prove to you guys I just moved here?

Old Asian man naked in the locker room blow drying their junk is all I have to say and why this is a one star place and I will never go back.

Dirty and smells and is always packed. I use to love this gym and this gym was well worth the drive but not anymore. Will be canceling my membership.

DO NOT GO THIS GYM!!! My friend got his wallet and iphone STOLEN from here!!! He even has a lock on the locker but it got cut off. When he told the worker. The worker didnt even care. When my friend said he was going call the cops then the worker told him that they will look into it…(YEAH RITE!!! THIS IS JUST A SAYING … I DONT GIVE A DAMN… JUST GET OUT MY FACE!) Then when my friend asked for the manager he said he’s not available. BS!
Poor guy lost his new iphone and wallet with his credit cards, driver licenses, $ 400, and his SS card…(ok. his social security!!! Wth!!! Why would you even have that in your wallet? That would be the last thing u should have in your wallet!!! Ok that’s just… plain coco! That’s your fault JAKE!!)
Well… lesson learn DONT bring your wallet or phone to gym! Just leave inside car and lock it inside glov3 compartment.
This place is DIRTY and so CROWDED anywayz. Parking SUCK!!! Don’t even know why we go here in first place! Oh wait… cuz it was closer to his house. Lol!

I went in 100% thinking i was going to get a membership here. but after the tour and the customer service my mind was change immediately.
Cameron the sales rep, toured my mother and i around showing us the weights, elliptical, pool and the cycling room.
The gym smelled awful, was hot inside and everything was so outdated in machinery…
On the contrary as we finished the tour we went to discuss prices… etc
My mother had asked Cameron a few question. he had little to no knowledge of the prices and how they add up yearly or monthly depending on the plan.
We asked him, «what is the benefit on buying the pass with you versus buying it at costco.» He looked at me all confused and said that his deal was much better but in reality… his deal was costing me 300+ more a YEAR not counting the joining fee and yearly fee than when costco was offering $ 400 for (2 years). I understand that it’s his job to sell. but why be dishonest with me?
Lastly, as i informed him i was touring a couple other gym to see what i liked and e snared at me every time i mention «LA fitness, chuze, planet fitness» i mean, it’s MY money? He gave me countless things about how the other gyms are not worth the money. yet he gave me more reasons why i wouldn’t want to come here.
It’s also pretty annoying my mom keeps letting me know Cameron is calling me almost everyday with new deals. I think calling once is enough, it seems a bit excessive.
Moral of this review is, i’ll be signing up with chuze… updated equipment… and much cleaner gym. oh and has AC.

Noticing better results have to admit things are following thru, I have been encountering the spray bottle on occasion missing however im thinking it isn’t the workers miss placing it but more of one of the members ether miss placing it or possibly taking it. Good Job, progress !
Gradually improving…

Clean gym, but it’s way too small. I remember coming here awhile back and it was okay then. Now they’ve added some sort of monkey gym right in the middle making this gym even smaller. I’ve been to better 24 hour sports and this is on the lower side.

Had a membership here for about 2 years. liked it during the time because it was open 24 hours, a lot of people so that was motivational, and classes. BUT… didn’t realize the cons until checking out other gyms.
1) way way wayyy too crowded, especially in the sauna, ugh gross. probably inhaled in all their sweat
2) not clean. people don’t really care about cleanliness at this place
that’s pretty much it. just, the dirtiness and overcrowdedness is not an ideal working out environment.
will be checking out Chuze across the street.

Ive seen better.
It is a 24 hr fitness, sports… really not that much different than others, it was relatively better taken care than most Ive seen, so that was good.
Keep up the good work guys

*****there’s a treadmill machine that can incline up to 30!!! Less time on the treadmill, with more calories burned! I love it! It’s located at the corner of the men/​women locker room entrance *******
20 mins burn me about 450 calories.
Awesome if you ask me. Lol your welcome in advance ;)
And the only reason why I come here is because it’s near my house and has a basketball court.
In comparison to golden west equipment, this place needs MAJORRRRRRR upgrade on theirs. The machines are literally breaking or already broken. Sorry, your payments are not going towards better machines. Lol

Tied for one of the worst 24 Hour Fitness locations in California. The other horrible location is the Berkeley one. Locker room is a total shit show, typical 1990’s like scene, the actual locker themselves look like their rotting. None of the showers have curtains or doors, really?
The gym floor, equipment, the walls, its all old. You aren’t breathing in oxygen in there, its definitely contaminated somehow. Compare this location to the one in Orange and its night and day.

I used to come here for my full workouts and I gotta admit, there are very limited amounts of freeweights– esp if you’re looking for the 10−15lb dumbbells. Machines — very rusty and grimey. A lot of people say this gym smells really bad, but I honestly feel like that for 80% of the gyms I have been to. It’s not the gym’s fault– people just need to wear deodorant and take showers.
I honestly only come here to do my morning cardio (around 630−7am ish) so most of what I see is that the gym is packed with elderly Asian folk getting their sweat on (props) and most of the time, 90% of all cardio machines are taken, but I NEVER have a problem finding one. Other than that, parking is no trouble, staff is almost unnoticeable.
OH, but I do have to mention, I once called to try to inquire about getting a pass for my mom, who visited the gym to speak with someone (she knows great English, but the TINIEST Chinese accent) and was ignored. When I later called, their membership manager or whoever the hell DEREK or DERRICK is was such a DICK. he was like scolding me on the phone and telling me that I wasn’t answering his question. Um, excuse me, you should be answering MY questions, you douchebag. Anyways, besides that rude asshole who was completely no help from beginning to end, this gym is tolerable if you’re just gonna be minding your own business and going in and out.
Screw you Derek.

My least favorite 24 hours location. This place is always busy and sometimes smelly. I know I know, I don’t expect a gym to smell like roses but trust me this goes beyond any average gym smell.
The machines are always braking and to make matters worse you have to wait in a line to get in the cardio machines! Trust me the little Asian ladies will fight you if you accidentally cut in front of them. It happened to me before! =/​
It’s not the cleanest place either. I’ve encountered a few situations that totally turned me off. I prefer to go other 24 hours locations around the area.
