24 Hour Fitness

again and check the saem durity filter… please check the pic and see what is the members breathing… it is a health hazard to have them dirty like that… i will send email to the main office.
Those is the A/​C suction windows to suck the air and recycle it with the air condition system… should be clean every time they change the air filter… to remove all the dirt that is coz the allergy diseases, also cleaning it is gonna open the windows for more suction and airflow… its blocked now

A friend of mine wanted to add me to his membership so we could go together on weekends, I visited the location that is close to my friend’s which is in Costa Mesa and is really nice so I went to this location in Buena Park close to my place with that expectation. Wrong!!! Wrong! wrong! I got to the front desk and no one greeted me and I had to say hello and ask if they or anyone could help me. They didn’t even show me around and I had to go to find out where is what by myself. So rude!!! What’s wrong with this people? Not even a smile and completely rude as if I’m asking them favors or something. do your job or stay at home doing that constipated face where no one else has to see it.
Anyway, decided to ignore and go to see the gym equipments and installations. First, went to the bathroom and this was a huge mistake I still feel nauseous it was just disgusting like a public bathroom in a third country. After that, I saw the cardio machines… Is 2016! This machines are so outdated. Lastly went to the weights room, is so claustrophobic and smelly. I have been in many gyms and definitely this is the worst the most disgusting gym ever.

This is not my usual 24 gym that I frequent but my friend and I wanted to do a class together on a Friday evening and we decided to come here to do the Body Combat class at 5:30PM with Dale.
We arrived right on time, just a few minutes before the class began, but the classroom was PACKED. I was shocked to see how crowded it was in there… I’ve never seen a class this crowded ever before at the other 24’s I usually go to. I found a spot in the back and squeezed into it. My friend barely fit into a spot in front of me. The entire time I had to be cautious not to kick (LOL) or bump into the people next to me. The instructor was pretty cool and I could feel the positive vibes from this class. Everyone seemed to be friends and they were like one big family. We even sang happy birthday to the son of one of the people who were in this class.
It was a fun class (Thanks Dale)!! But I probably won’t return only because of how crowded it was. I prefer going to a class where I don’t have to worry about kicking the person in front of me… or even myself being kicked in the face. Yea if I could avoid that, that would be great. LOL

It’s an OK gym. But it not as clean and spacey as other sports or actives I have been to. Also currently there are multiple broken machines. Overall, it is an adequate gym.

Equipment rundown, With a little maintenance it could be in better shape. Also the free weight room always smells like BO. It’s hard to walk in there and not gag. I’ve complained to the staff about the smell in there but no one seems to care.

Possibly the worst 24 hour fitness I’ve ever been too. I won’t ever come here ever again. No one greets you and they’re directly in front of your face as soon as you fingerprint in. Also equipment sucks and dirty. The ambiance of the gym very vague and boring. Makes you feel like not working out. Always over populated and always the smells of chemicals, everywhere. Horrible…

This gym is a little out of my way, but I come here solely because it’s a Sport AND this is one of the only gyms that have Bumper Plates.
I live in Orange and drove out here to meet up with friends. I’ve always been curious to check out this gym since I always go to the gym off of Orangewood in Anaheim/​Orange. Upon arriving, there was lost of parking & yes, this gym is connected to a mall. Walking in, staff was friendly, greeted me and told me to enjoy my workout.
The locker rooms here are nice and roomy, much better than the ones at Orangewood Sport. Lockers were clean and overall the place was well maintained.
Getting into my workout with my friends, a trainer was with his client and decided to small talk with us with his client as well. The staff here is really sweet and only want to keep you safe and genuinely help you improve. He was able to give me tips since I was just learning the form for cleans and jerks. His client was really patient and encouraged me as well.
Overall this gym gets bad reviews, but I’ve never had a bad experience here.

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.

This is the closest 24-​Hour near me, and it gets the job done. There are working machines and for the most part, it is in good working order, aside from the occasional errors you get from whatever runs afoul electronically.
The equipment is well-​maintained and the gym goers here are fairly chill (a good mix between the young cats and the older folks).
There are a variety of popular classes held here throughout the week such as U-​Jam, Body Combat, Body Pump and Zumba. I wish we had Nike Training, Insanity and more variety that the Super Sport offers though.

This place is very crowded and the staff really does no job of keeping maintenance and cleanliness of the gym.
Most of all, the weight room needs some BETTER VENTILATION. I don’t know if they even turn on the A/​C or whatnot but it gets so immensely humid, stuffy and sweaty in that area. They need to improve their gym sanitation!

This is one of the nastiest gyms I have been to. The men’s bathroom smells like piss always dirty sewer water on the floor. The weights are everywhere never racked were there supposed to be. The place is way too packed. The machines are always dirty and seems like nobody ever cleans them. Honestly I can go on and on but there’s really no point just save your money and go somewhere else.

Warning! Warning!, In this place past year, My wallet stolen two time at men locker room .
(Pry my locker). (Pry my locker). (Pry my locker). Reporting to front desk, Left contact and details. until now NO one contact me. To remind you all.

Warning! Do not add anyone to your membership. I started my membership at this gym over 3 years ago and then i added my wife in mid 2015 which they charged me more for her membership fee and they failed to notify me about a yearly membership fee that they started charging and came to me as a surprise in January 2016 so read everything carefully for yourself, don’t trust the whoever’s trying to sell you on membership they’re not very honest to say the least.
As far as that location goes, it’s usually crowded and smelly especially in the free weights area and when a machine breaks it takes them forever to fix it.

Friendly great staff but the only reason why I do not feel comfortable to ever come back is the fact that everyone is recording themselves. Like WHY?!
don’t get me wrong if it’s to see how you can improve your form then it’s actually helpful to record but the thing is…
No one ever asks for permission for you to be in the video so instead if you going in to train you actually are going in to be featured on someone’s instagram video.
The 24 I currently go to (long beach) never has problems like this.
Everyone respects the gym and their members working out.
I actually found the video on instagram just type this gym in the search location and you can see everyone that records. .it’s weird.

Unilocal Challenge 2015. ³³¹⁄₃₆₅. *update review*
This place has came a long way over the years. They re-​invented their cardio schedule and offer pretty cool classes throughout the week, targeting the early worm to the late night workout. My favorite are the Body Pump and Zumba classes. Body Pump targets all muscle groups using free weights, bars and your body. First time I took it, I could barely walk.
Plenty of cardio machines. I’ve never had an issue claiming one. They have a time limit but it is never enforced.
Indoor pool, sauna and hot tub are accessible. I ve never used any of them cuz I hate cooties.
Weight room in the back seems to be better taken care of. Unless people are just being more mindful of stacking their weights.
A okay gym

1.5 stars
The bathrooms stink. I feel like I am in a developing country when I go to use the bathroom. The lockers are nasty and the floors are horrific. It looks like one of the old Roman bath places. It would not surprise me if there was pee on the floors of the bathroom. It’s like a horror movie – old and scary.
The sauna and the steamroom stink like feet. They have signs stating one cannot wear shoes in the steamroom and no bags allowed in the exercise rooms. Too many paper signs and rules.
The staff are not friendly too. They can be sticklers to rules. You have to get your clips for your barbell from the front desk and you have to be there 10 minutes before a class starts. I was taking a back– to –back class and I had to leave my workout to get the clips.
They get 1.5 stars because of the Insanity instructor, Nate. He is an excellent instructor. I have the perfect arms and abs after I joined his class.

Like i have said before on this page that I like coming to this gym compared to the one on lemon street.
I’m been coming here for the last 5 years. I got a letter in the mail saying that there happy with my loyal at this gym and blah blah blah… then the letter said that they’re going to raise my payment. like why? ha
anyways, there’s people that don’t re rack the weights and just leave them all over the floor, like really dude? someone can get hurt… and people that don’t clean after themselves.
anyways i was shocked by the letter i got in the mail, i thought they were going to lower it down because i been there for 5 years.
btw the trainers here are nice people.

My issues with this 24 Hour Fitness location are best exemplified by the recent «renovations» that took place here. This location closed for a week at the end of August/​beginning of September for renovations. When it reopened, it had a beautiful new paint job, new decorations/​art, and a few additional flat screen TV’s.
What did not appear to get renovated at all was any of the actual exercise equipment, much of which is still in rather dilapidated condition: broken, missing parts and pieces, etc. Essentially all of the «renovations» were purely cosmetic. I’m sure this is good for attracting new members, which is fine, I just wish they had some put some thought and effort into improving the experience of existing members too.

All-​in-​all, another 24 hour fitness, and I love the chain, although this particular center is not one of the better ones. Here are some issues I had.
1) I felt there were not enough of those little foam yoga mat things, or at least they were not easily visible.
2) This was what annoyed me the most. There were only three exercise ball’s (I saw) in the whole place. One large, one medium, one small… and NONE of them were inflated properly, they had obviously not been inflated in a very long time. This is a clear example of something the gym management and staff have the ability to fix, and are simply being negligent. They can’t necessarily control certain issues, like the fact that their male locker room is in an extremely inconvenient area, but making sure that there are several exercise balls of various sizes, and that they are properly inflated is something that is cheap and easy to do. Management is simply doing a bad job of taking care of this facility. If they can’t even keep a ball inflated, it makes me fear using their pool, or the cleanliness of their equipment.
3) As I already stated, you literally have to walk across the entire gym to enter the mens locker room, and that’s just annoying.
As of everything else, it was a standard gym experience.

If you asked me five years ago, I would’ve said this gym was meh. Now that I’ve «sampled» a handful of gyms (both 24’s and others) I’d have to conclude that the Buena Park location is pretty good for its «level.»
Here are the selling points for me:
–Lots of Stair Masters! They are my «favorite.»
–Pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room. The other «Sport» locations I’ve been to do not have these aquatic services, so it’s definitely a one up.
–Slanted parking. Might not seem like much, but so much easier to navigate going in and out of the parking lot.
PS. I feel very «quote-​y» today.
