24 Hour Fitness

I can’t believe how nice this active gym is.

I read reviews on another site (can’t) recall which were somewhat critical of the cleanliness of this gym and suggesting the equipment is dated. I didn’t find this to be true at all. For a low-​frills facility this is just fine and doesn’t seem terribly crowded. The staff isn’t the friendliest, but I go to work out, not hang out with the staff.

This is a very good gym if your needs are basic, which matches my needs. Giving stars is hard, because if all you want are a good selection of aerobic and weight machines, plus some free weights, all at a budget price with high school caliber locker room, it’s perfect.
If you want a personal trainer, you might be ok but the turnover is very high so if you find someone you like, odds are they will be gone within 6 months. Classes are also pretty few and far between.
In general, the only staff you will see is the «greeter» at the front desk and most are friendly and nice. Every now and then they get a younger person who doesn’t even look up from their phone, which, while it has no impact on your workout, it still sends a bad message.
The other thing I find odd, not specific to the Kirkwood location but more a reflection of (poor?) national management, is after three plus of membership I have never received any communications or offers from the company. No «thanks for being a member», no offer to upgrade, no «try a personal trainer offer, no run 10 miles on a treadmill and 2% off a Snickers bar, etc.
So, if basic, no frills is what you want, it’s a good deal with pretty good hours (a little late Sunday am opening), I’d recommend. If you want frills, classes or any personal treatment you will probably want to look elsewhere.

I’ve been a member at this location for over 3 years. Tonight I walked to the gym and realized I had forgotten water bottle nor did I have a way to buy a bottle of water because I didn’t have my wallet. I asked if I could have a $ 2 bottle of water and I’d come back and pay tomorrow. I was denied by the manager. After working out and getting more upset at this lack of customer service I approached the manager about how silly it was (those were my exact words). He maintained that my request was unreasonable and compared it to walking into QT and asking for a bottle of water. Um, no. It isn’t. I am a member here, which apparently doesn’t mean much. Not a bad gym otherwise for the cheap price but beware if you take classes that the audio system usually sucks and alot of times the box fans don’t work because the outlets often don’t work.

I’m a newbie so I don’t feel that I can give much of a review. I do like the openness of the club. Lots of machines to choose from which is really fun for me. I think I will be in a lot better shape in 6 months. You have to like where you work out.

Love this location because of a trainer named Sefton. He is the best that I have ever had. Refer all I know to ask for him

I’ve been a member of this gym for more than two years. Bottom line: I like it because it is cheaply priced, has lots of precor machines, free weights, and treadmills. Honestly, that’s all I need. I don’t need amenities, just the drive to work out. And this gym has all the basics for anyone who wants to get in shape, but is self-​motivated.

Clean facility. Can’t speak to their personal training as I’m a trainer myself. It has everything you need, my only gripe is it is not open 24 hours. They close early on weekends, when I asked about it the person working the desk said didn’t you see the sign on the door… The one that said 24 hour fitness ?!? Lol. All in all good place with some good folks, just misleading with their times.

24 hours fitness

Let me start by saying I am a big fan of 24 Hour fitness because of its accessibility wherever I seem to travel. I was in town for my wedding and wanted to get in a few last minute workouts before the big day and found this 24 hour, which was great because it’s the same gym I use back home in California. I made several observations below to come to my 3 star conclusion.
Pro’s:
— All equipment is like new.
— Plenty of cardio equipment
— Wide variety of beverages and snacks for pre and post workout.
— Filled with natural light.
Con’s:
— If you have towel service at another location, bring your own. This location only sells towels and not at a discounted rate for people who already pay the company for the service in another location.
— The staff wasn’t friendly nor outgoing, which threw me off because every location I’ve previously been to, they have been. I just got a head nod from the two gentlemen behind the counter when I walked in and said hi. This wasn’t a welcoming environment for someone who was a first time visitor for this location.
Overall, if you’re just looking to get a quick workout, the space and equipment is great. The staff could use some happy pills or maybe a shot of Jaeger before their shift.

This gym is pretty good. Very basic. Nothing too superb. Not bad

Really bummed they cut Wednesday night yoga here, considering they didn’t have enough yoga/​pilates/​tai chi options to begin with. That means they’re down to one measly class that I’m interested in :(
If you don’t work & have nothing better to do during the weekdays, and you live close by, it is still a good option for classes. If you just do weight training & cardio, also a good option.
However, since I’m not into weights and cardio right now, nor am I a lady of leisure, there’s no longer much value here for me. Gotta drop a star for that & start looking into alternatives. It was fun while it lasted, 24 hour Fitness :(

So I keep going to this place because I have a cheap (And I mean ridiculously cheap) membership. There is no towel service. SUCKS. I’d pay a little extra for not having to keep a stack of towels at my place just for the gym. Men’s locker room is pretty clean but the showers usually have luke warm water at best and there is no way in hell I’d get out of there without athlete’s foot if I didn’t wear shower sandals. It’s not like fraternity house disgusting but it’s not the Ritz’s gym clean. Parking flat out BLOWS around 5 – 7 pm when the dance studio is letting out of kids and Bread Co is hopping with people eating dinner.
Ok so what’s good about this thing? All of their classes are free with membership, There are usually plenty cardio machines (January New Year’s resolution people kind of clog it up, don’t worry they’ll be gone by February 10^th) with 8 tv’s in front of them although you do need a radio to listen (who carries a radio receiver anymore???) and plenty of free weights/​weight machines. The counter workers are friendly and tend to remember your name when you see them over and over again. Also a big plus… Not a large amount of meatheads all juiced up, which is a good thing.
