24 Hour Fitness

Four stars to the staff that works here who does there best to keep the gym going. Some weights could be replaced, but what’s here gets the job done. Not giving them five stars because often times (at least during the week after 5pm) you’ll see some typical 20 something year old doochbags using 2 – 3 machines at a time instead of going from one to another. Not really staffs fault since they can’t patrol ²⁴⁄₇ but other than that it’s a decent gym. Parking could be better too though.

In 2007 I paid 3 years up front and was told my annual renewal was $ 69 for life. Now this year they raised it to $ 119? Apparently they have done this to many loyal customers starting in 2015. Supposedly there is a clause in fine print that allows them to raise annual renewals. Even if this were true, this was not told to myself, or many other customers who signed a similar contract at the time. Just google the topic and you will see many complaints from other customers all saying the same thing. There is a lawyer in SD that is looking to begin a class action lawsuit regarding this issue. The district attorney office of orange county is also looking into the matter as a criminal investigation.
I urge everyone who has had their annual rate increased to sign the petition below so that we may begin our class action lawsuit. This is unethical, and this company will never see a dime from me again unless they stick to their word. There are just too many other available options out there for me to support an unethical company. I have called corporate requesting my original contract with my signature on it. Supposedly it will be sent in the mail to me.

Even though it’s next to my house, I hardly go to this gym but when I do it’s such a disappointment. Parking is a pain in the bum after 5pm. Although it’s remodeled and cleaner but the layout is odd. No towels are being provided so bring your own. Locker and bathroom stall kind of small. Worst off when you want to go shower after working out, there’s no where to put your hygienist items except on top of the body wash pump.

This is one of my favorite 24 hour fitness gyms. I can’t say that I like it when it gets crowd after the holidays or after work hours, parking gets to be a nightmare. Instead of wasting 10 minutes looking for parking, you could have used that time to exercise. On the weekend and the off peak hours, is nice. Considering that its not a sport of super sport, they have kettle bells, a punching back, a trampoline for medicine balls and exercise ropes. There’s plenty of benches, 4 flats, 2 inclines and 1 decline. Plenty of room and lots of equipment.
There’s only the hot sauna in the men’s locker room, still not bad, especially considering this is a only an Active.

Best Active club Ive been to. 3 squat racks is great for an Active club. Fairly clean. Tons of cardio equipment and machines. And I love the sauna in the mens locker room! Always over 200 degrees. Its never hot enough at the co-​ed sauna at the Marketplace.

This is perhaps the best active I’ve been to. It’s on the way home from work, so I’ve been coming here even though there is a sport a few miles from my house (in opposite direction of work).
The locker rooms are clean, the equipment works fine (though the grips on some machines are showing the wear and tear of daily use), and the room where the classes are if perfect for doing your own workouts when it is free (plus the water fountain always spouts cold water!).
They started locking up the bars, because I guess people haven’t been re-​racking the weights, but they gave me the combo… so yay! Most of the guys who work here are nice; they always greet you and say bye when you leave. The ladies… not so much. It’s cool though, I’m there to work out, so the greetings aren’t important.

This gym is nothing special. However, it is much nicer and cleaner after the remodel which is appreciated. They have a lot of cardio equipment and all the free weights and machines you really need. I am only a fan of old school lifting so I don’t take any of the classes, can’t really attest to those. The staff has always been pretty friendly. It is good for everything I need it for.
The two main negatives: the parking, which is pretty out of their control, but just beware, and the bathrooms. Bathrooms are always nasty, they need to get a handle on this and have them cleaned more regularly. If the bathrooms were nicer and cleaner I would have given a solid 4 stars.

After some fat time at Anaheim Packing House, my girlfriend and I decided to go to the gym to help alleviate the damage we did.
First off, be careful with parking here, it’s kind of confusing especially with surrounding businesses. Gym visitors need to parking at the 2^nd floor and higher of the parking structure. If you park anywhere else that’s easier, beware!
This gym is kind of old. It’s split into two floors, cardio and locker rooms on the first, weights and classroom on the 2^nd. It still has the old orange colors on the walls; sorry but I can’t help but know that this gym is somewhat outdated based on this color scheme.
As always, it gets busy after 5. Cardio machines are almost always taken, and weights. well it depends on your favorites.

I started going to the Orange 24 hour a couple of months ago because its near my work. From the start the staff has been very welcoming, friendly and accommodating. They keep their equipment up, the gyms is clean, and it has great classes. I love their Yoga and Zumba classes especially!
After coming a few times, one of the managers, Robert, talked with me and was super helpful. I asked him a few fitness questions because I’m trying to get fit for my upcoming wedding. He recommended a trainer and shortly after I set up 2 personal training sessions with John Oxford. On our first day of training John focused on arms. He took me (and a friend) around the gym and made us comfortable with the different exercises and machines. I asked a ton of questions and John was on top of it. We learned about 5 – 6 different exercises focusing on different parts of the arm that day. On our next session we focused on Legs and abs. This one really pushed me-​I wanted to quit but John was patient and encouraging and I was able to do more than I thought I could! He was very thorough, personable and knowledgeable. He is a great communicator and overall a really nice guy. I feel confident that I have a great new routine that I can safely follow. I highly recommend this 24 hour fitness and John Oxford as a personal trainer. Also a big thank you to Robert for recommending him!

This is by faaaaar the best active I have ever been to. It is always clean and there are tons of classes and machines.
The entire place was very recently remodeled to include a prx and a bunch of other machines.
The restrooms are clean and they have saunas separated by gender!

Just going to start this review off by saying that I’ve worked in customer service before so I try to sympathize with employees because I know that sometimes not everyone feels like working or someone might be having a shitty day.
So here it goes: I have the 24 hour fitness Supersport membership. but since my friend doesn’t have Supersport her and I came to this location.
You really do get what you pay for. first off I’ll start off with the rusty, custy, horrible, equpiment. Idk if it’s because I’m used to going to Supersport but all of the equipment squeeks at this gym. i feel like it’s going to break down on me. second I’ll mention the horrible experience I had with the girl manager (I believe her name is rebecca) so my friend and i came to this gym to train and do sit ups on the punching bag. rebecca (who was giving some people a tour of the gym) comes to me and my friend extremely mad at us and condescending and pointing to the top of the punching bag saying the equpiment is old and we are going to break it… she repeated this like 5 times and pointed to it. and was basically making me feel terrible about there shitty equpiment in front of the people she was touring and all the other people working out and employees. I responded «i get it/​I understand» like 5 times… she got so pissed that I did not kiss her ass and she said «if you’re going to be rude you can just leave» so what? Just because I’m not going to kiss your ass about your shitty equipment I have to leave? I didn’t insult, or continue to use the punching bag, so for her to treat her paying guest like that was an insult. Like I said, I’ve worked customer service. if I talked to a guest like she talked to me. I’d be fired in one second. you do not try to humiliate or degrade a guest. what if I was someone really fat with low self esteem. i would have been totally unmotivated to ever go back to that gym. the equipment they have should be able to support body weight. never ever going back there again. A big F you to rebecca hope you read this. P. s some may argue that a punching bag is not for doing sit ups on, contrary she could have handled it differently. I’ve worked 3 other customer service jobs and never ever have i ever seen someone of high status talk to a guest like she talked to me.

Nice there, I need to go back.

I love this 24 hour active gym, I live 10 mins away driving and 20 mins away running, I go every single day with my sister’s and two friends, I love it here because it’s small and not a lot of people come here, there’s always a machine open if not just go to another machine for a bit then right away there’s an open one you just need to be a little patient, the lockers have A sauna inside too so that’s pretty awesome, I don’t go to any other gym besides here, all the equipment Is available for us to use, the gym is always clean, the employees are great and friendly, I always try to get more friends to come to the gym with me but a girl can only do so much

This is definitely one of my favorite 24 hour locations. The gym is always pretty clean and what not and they’re pretty quick at fixing equipment. The front desk staff is always super helpful. One time I had a billing issue and the desk lady Rebecca handled it quickly and completely. Only downside is parking can sometimes be difficult but besides that its an awesome location!

Received my annual renewal statement in the mail awhile back and it had more than doubled. So of course I inquired why and the HORRIBLE service manger I believe her name was Rebecca proceeded to tell me that do to the remodeling of the gym and super sports that 24 had opened my dues increased. She just fed me a bunch of excuses rather than trying to help. I am not paying to attend a super sport and as far as the remodel, yes the gym looks a lot better but there was no drastic change that should require members dues to more than double. I am a member that has spent a small fortune on training and to just increase my dues like that in a year is not acceptable. It’s not about the money it’s about good customer service. Which failed including inside the gym and then I called corporate and I am put on hold for 20 minutes before anyone picks up.
The only reason I would not cancel my membership is because seeing Rob the club manager stepped in and diffused the situation. Not to mention I would would not want to lose my trainer Brian.

This 24 Hour is an ‘active’ gym so I will rate it as such. For an active, and just for a 24 Hour Fitness Center in general, this location is really tidy and clean. It’s small, yes, but it has everything you need in it. This is the type of gym I would and will come to when I need to get a quick workout in and am in the north OC area. The reps are friendly and helpful. They don’t quickly dismiss you but actually make an effort to make you feel welcome. I came in to this gym on a weekday afternoon to attend their body pump* class. I’ve taken many body pump classes at several different locations. The instructor here is probably best suited to lead a crowd that is light to medium range in shape. I wasn’t pushed to challenge myself by her but was rather encouraged to take things lightly. That usually tells me what type of body pump class it’s going to be.
The room probably fits around 25 people which is small but also means that you can see the instructor from any area of the room. The locker rooms are small too but again, very clean. I can’t imagine coming to this gym during rush hour as I’m sure it would feel really cramped but on a random off hour it’s a great place to work out.
The cardio equipment is new and works well. When you’ve been going to a dingier 24 you can really appreciate the convenience and feel of the new equipment. I can see this place being a bit of a struggle to work out at if you’re looking for mat/​floor space. I had to create my own in a random corner near the cardio machines. Same goes for the weight lifting area where benches and space to lift is limited.
Visiting this gym made me realize that even if you have a sport or super sport membership, it doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily getting better gym quality. Each gym varies by location and active gyms are not to be overlooked, as they have their use and conveniences too.
*Body pump: hour long class offered by 24 Hour where you lift barbells, dumbbells and free weights while targeting individual and all major muscle groups.

This review is solely for the Group X classses!
I come to a class at this gym at least 5 times a week! The instructors are very knowledgable, friendly, and enthusiastic.
My favorite class is UJam with Yasmin on Monday nights, I also take bodypump with Marci twice a week, bodypump on Saturday mornings followed by cardio dance party, and cardio, core and more on Monday (That class is a killer!!)
Everyone is super helpful, the room is always in great condition as well as the restrooms, equipment, and lockers.

UPDATE January 2015
The renovations are great, thank Jebus they are finally done. New equipment, including a central crossfit-​esque jungle gym of platforms, ropes, bars, etc.
24 Hour Fitness did a really nice job of making the most of the space available, replacing all the cardio equipment, putting in an entire new set of cable equipment, and making more room in the weight room.
I’d say the club can comfortably service an additional 25% capacity of members. Now of course the limiting factor is parking. Monday-​Wednesday nights and Saturday mornings are so busy that parking is a bit hard to find.
But overall, nice work on the makeover!

They remodeled, opened everything up and added new equipment. This place really freshened up

Well I guess the lease is renewed because they cleaned up the place. While the bathroom is still pretty crappy, the rest of the club has been redone very well.
The cardio machines are pretty much all new, and there’s a ton of them. Decent amount of free weights and a good amount of weight machines (though they took out a couple of the good ones).
