Great Place Great Price Reviewer: Oscar       07-22-2004 This place is cheaper than the other gyms and the staff is there to help you out. Whether you are there to lose weight or just maintain or build muscle then this is the best place to go. Take my advice you will like it there.

convinient locations Reviewer: Mike       07-22-2004 I have been a member since Oct. 2000 and I love that there are 24 hour fitness centers in almost every city. No matter what city I travel to I can be certain that there is one there.

Thinking About Joining? Reviewer: Jerry       07-22-2004 Thinking about joining 24-Hour Fitness Center (or any others)? Here's a personal account that you may be interested in: Currently, 24-Hour Fitness Center is advertising a "Limited Time Only" sale of five days -- they've been running this ad for the past three or four weeks now! You see, last month I went out to the Grand Opening of the Mililani facilities, and inquired on a membership. I found out that they had "Special Rates" good until the end of October only....these special rates were: $99 enrollment (or $199 for the deluxe plan) $49 processing $29 a month According to the salesperson I spoke with, the enrollment and monthly fees would be doubled come November. But it never happened. It is now November 25, and the rates actually seem to be a lot BETTER. I've discovered that fitness centers sell memberships in much the same way as automobile dealerships sell cars....they advertise cheap rates, create hype, and try to get you to commit right on the spot. They even used the "take-over" sales method on me! Yup...after an hour of negotiating, I signed up with the Mililani facility. I even signed up my wife under the deluxe plan. Spent nearly $500 on that rainy October day. In the past, I was a member of 1) International Fitness Center, 2) the Spa, and 3) Atkinson YMCA gym. I've never felt like I was buying a car when signing on as a new gym member...until last month. So if any of you are thinking about joining 24-Hour Fitness, think of it as buying a car. You'll be more on your toes, and likely to save money in the long run. Otherwise, you'll find yourself "cheerfully" dishing out $500 for membership for two. (P.S. Other than that, 24-Hour Fitness is a great place. Though the Mililani facility isn't complete yet, I like the ambiance. The atmosphere, for the most part, is conducive to getting a good workout. Can't wait til they open up the day-care facilities so I can bring my 2 year-old boy with me!)

I didn't like working out alone Reviewer: Mario       07-17-2004 ...but now they have a group exercise program and I love it! My goal was to lose weight and have fun and I have done both. I have been a member there since March and i love it.

There is 24 hr fitness center everywhere Reviewer: Luis       06-25-2004 that is the best feature. I recommend this place. You will lose weight and feel great. In southern CA alone I know of 5 different locations with a few miles of my house.

Satisfied Customer Reviewer: Miguel       06-19-2004 I first started as a guest member. From day one the staff at both locations near my home were very friendly. They showed me around the facility, offered me a towel, and were there everytime I had a question. I really enjoyed the basketball courts and how friendly everyone is about playing pickup games. After a few weeks I had lost weight and didn't even know it. I was just going there and having fun then people started telling me about how great I looked and how I have lost weight. I recommend this place!

My experience Reviewer: steve       06-18-2004 Years ago they built a club in downtown L.A. where my wife works. My wife and I were already members and, though we never liked the club much we maintained our membership because the deals are structured so that you pay a fortune up front, and if you're still around after the initial period it gets cheap, because they know that the everage member lasts about two weeks and then disappears but keeps paying on their membership. Anyway, they told my wife that this was an "executive" club which was going to be much fancier than normal, and she'd have to pay another $150 a year on top of her regular

Horrible Experience Reviewer: Susy       06-11-2004 I can't drive by a 24-hour fitness without feeling my blood boil! My story is similar. My son & I "belonged" to Family Fitness 1 mile from home. 24-hour fitness took over, closed our Family Fitness & opened a new building another mile away. Okay. I figured we automatically belonged to the new one since they still *removed* $$$$$ from my checking account every month. WRONG! Well, a year(?) or so went by when we never even went to the gym, just kept paying. Then my husb's work offered discounts on 24-hour Fitness and he signed up, adding to our *family* membership. He was ASSURRED by the salesperson that all three of us could attend ANY 24-Hour Fitness anywhere, anytime! Nope. We aren't allowed into our neighborhood gym without paying an additional $99 apiece (sale price!). I think it is 24-Hour Fitness's way of "disposing" of the long-time memberships (unprofitable) they inherited from Family Fitness. The one we can go to is 4 or 5 miles away. They get away with this robbery by (probably took their attorneys a day or two to figure out) calling certain (elite) clubs "Sports" facilities in order to collect more fees from people with long-term Family Fitness memberships (IMHO). I can't find my contract; the main office said they'd even send me a copy and never did. To make matters more aggravating, the "Jocks" that are in charge of the gyms are so rude!! I can't think of another company as bad as 24-Hour Fitness. One manager even hung up on me. He didn't want to hear my story; I'm sure he's heard the same one many, many times. Sooner or later, I think we'll see it on one of those TV news magazines. We should do more than spread the word. 20/20, where are you???

I went to 3 different locations Reviewer: Marc       05-29-2004 I went to 3 different locations for a price quote and recieved 3 different prices per year. This turned me off so i decided not to join.

I have tried many fitness centers Reviewer: Nadia       05-22-2004 I enjoy working with a personal trainer. I have found that the best fintess center for trainers is not Ballys or LA Fitness...its 24HR Fitness! I don't mind paying the amount I do per month as long as I have a trainer that knows what he/she is doing.

Big name fitness center = $$$ Reviewer: Salvador       04-22-2004 the cost is too high. I see that on their official website there is an offer for 3months $149...that is $50 a month! ha! what a joke. There is a gym closer to my house that is almost half that price. Look around. Although i agree that fitness centers are a great thing...i recommend a gym with a lower price per month.
