24 Hour Fitness

At $ 11 a month for two is good. But its a big rip off. Near The whole 24 °F network is going Super Sport. With
excercise machines thats not like to 20 years old. Our up front was like a $ Many Many Many Hundreds. We signed up «All Gyms». Now when we are out of Town… its hard to find a 24 °F gym we can go. Near everything is converted to 24 °F super-​sport. And whats left is old old old machines, often barely usable. And certainly often Just Hated.
Read the Whole Web. You tell me if 24 °F is honest to Contracts.
Anyone who thinks Bakersfield 24 °F machines are Great… must have a Bug’s Brain
This location has like 32 Unilocal reviews. This location been around 20 years. You trust high stars reviews here… you have a Bug’s Brain.
The East side 24 °F closed. Haha. No Bug’s Brain there.
24 Hour Fitness Corp stepped on those with Bug’s Brain.
Its not hard to see 24 °F Corp thinks ALL its Bakersfield Members have Bug Brain
Bakersfield have population near 380,000 population. And both 24 °F is Active Club Level. No Sport. No Super-​Sport. Heck even Lancaster Calif have a 24 °F Super Sport. Their City population is like 150,000.
Any Unilocal’Rs Ever Thinks theres Fake or Stupid reviews in our Unilocal community. You Bet There are Many!
This 24 Fitness is Active Level. Its future can only to be… Shut Down. Or squeeze Bug’s Brain.
Think!!!
24 °F Corp have Ultra-​Sport, Super-​Sport, Sport, Active Club Levels.
Think. Unilocal’Rs. Ultra-​Sport is like a grade A in shool. Super-​Sport is like grade B. Sport is like grade of near C or worst. Active is like a school report card grade D or F.
Thus Lovers of this Gym wt All Club membership must view it from a Bug’s Brain. When they give lots Unilocal stars.
Charter Bakersfield ALL Club members paid like near to $ 700+ up front 20 years ago. Thats like paying $ 1200+++ up front in todays Dollar with additionally $ 20 – 40 monthly
Bugs Going To San Francisco, see conversion moving on…
Gosford 24 °F. OK if you join as one gym location usage with old old old equipment and negotiated a low monthly $. As Active membership. Knowing it can close like Bakersfield Eastside Active 24 °F.
Myself, 24 °F Corp deserves 1 Unilocal star at most. Im a All Club Charter Member. And when our family is in Northern Calif we have to use old old machines at 24 °F or pay $ 20 daily charge to workout at 24 °F Super Sport.
In Bakersfield In Shape Gyms are like the Better of 24 °F Super Sports. Basically in Calif 24 °F Active is Ghetto Experience. My car was actually stolen from ghettos gym parking lot. And many other cars had police reported break ins.
Bakersfield is the 8^th Fastest Growing city in USA. We have appx 360,000 population. Bakersfield needs a 24 °F Super Sport Gym. Land is Cheap in Bakersfield. 24 °F Corp has to Stop treating exercising peoples here as Bugs!!! Or continue its Trend here and Close it’s Active membership Gyms.
Open your Eyes. Bakersfield is rapidly GROWING. Theres 6 In Shape Gyms here now. 24 °F here is about Ghetto experience. Two Active low low Grade gyms. How good of a future is that for 24 °F in Bakersfield.
Yes. We today are still 24 °F members. We are Bakersfield 24 °F Charter members. All we want is a Gym with equipments like 1,2,3 years old. Not like 15−20+ years old. And Holy Mary Jesus Christ… we been 24 °F «ALL Club» Members all this time.

Just tried to get a pass for my wife here in Bakersfield on Gosford. The front desk guy said no free pass and charged her $ 15. We’ve been to a few locations and have never been charged for a pass for my wife. Pretty poor customer service and terrible Holiday spirit. My wife will certainly not be joining anytime soon. Disgusted.

I have been a member of this place for a very long time. It very close by and provide above average gym facility with modern gym equipment. What I like about this place is the group classes and friendly staff. They are not too aggressive to sign you up for some trainer programs until you ask for it. Good place to do work out with your friends or by your self.

To be honest I would rate this gym more of a 3.5 for a few reasons. First of all I used to go to InShape and both gyms have their ups and downs. When I first walked into 24 Hour Fitness at this location we were greeted very happily by the staff and were quickly taken on a tour of the facility. One thing that really stood out for me as a positive was the layout of the gym. I really enjoyed how open the gym was, there are some half walls but nothing that makes you feel confined into a room. This helps when the gym fills up with bodies and the body temperatures start to increase, the open layout helps the circulation of the air quality.
A second thing that caught my eye was the variety of machines and how many there were. They have several different types to use and this goes for the brand also. Say for instance with the leg press machine, you have 3 – 4 different machines that do the same but made by different companies and each have their own individual way to function, and to me this creates further variety.
The price for membership it not a huge difference from InShape however they do not offer a discount for my employer which I found a little odd but not a deal breaker. If we want to visit the other location here in Bakersfield we would need to pay an additional $ 5 per member and this particular location does not have a sauna, again not a deal breaker.
We did sign up and there is not a contact but when signing up you have to pay first & last month, which I like this option not be stuck in a contract. The classes they hold such as Zumba, Insanity, etc are all included with the membership which is nice but of course they are only offered between 9am-7:30pm even though this is a 24 hour a day gym, I know I’m being persnickety.
The décor of the gym brings me back to the late eighty’s to early ninety’s when the World Wrestling Federation was all about Hulk Hogan, Macho Man and Mr. Perfect. Who knows why they have choosen that but I’m there for the equipment so I can live with it.
The locker rooms/​restrooms have been extremely dirty in terms of paper towels thrown all over the floor and this has been consistent over the 3 times I’ve been since signing up.
I am happy with the gym none the less and can’t really complain too much. The atmosphere each time I’ve worked out has been great and not over crowded so that to me is the biggest factor along with the variety of machines. Those on top of a friendly staff is always a good combination.

Love this gym. The workers are nice, gym is clean and the workers aren’t useless like Point Loma Plaza in San Diego. The workers at Gosford actually work at this location and re-​rack any loose weights they see around the gym.

Love my gym. Always have, always will!
They have made some serious improvements in the past: new treadmills, more spin bikes (with word that new ones are on the way), TRX machine, new weights…
Where else can a girl go to the gym 3 am before work. 5 am spin classes (especially Mike’s) make me happy. Angie is great too!
Honestly, this truly is my second home and home to people whom I call frien… no family!

I like the fact that I can come here any time I want almost any day of the year. I’ve even worked out here at 2 in the morning sometimes.
Out of the two 24 Hour Fitness locations that are still in town, this one is the more modern. This gym is cleaner and has newer equipment.
With that being said, I still prefer the Rosedale branch. Just gets too crowded here during peak times as opposed to Rosedale. Many times I cannot use the equipment or free weights because of all the people here.

New cardio machinery is legit! Nice staff & clean environment. Wife loves all the classes!

So first of all I hate going to the gym but whatever, it needs to be done. So on that note– this is my preferred location to go to. Its a bit bigger and the machines are a little more spread out than the Rosedale one. It’s pretty clean and for the most part, people actually put their weights away when they are done with them. They also have a great kids club set up with very friendly staff and a jungle gym that my son loooooves! Both my son and I look forward to going to the «big gym».

Moved from oc to this location… Horrible front desk service. Machines are placed on an awkward manner where machine like ab abduction face the weight lifting area, the shoulder press faces the other person so you are looking straghit at each other… Rosedale one is better in machine arrangements.

my home gym. Everything you need for cardio, weights, classes and training.

Horrible customer service!!! We brought in our brother in law this morning, as he was hoping to possibly join. The front desk person went to get a sales person and was stopped by another customer on the way over. Rather than telling them that they’d be with them in a minute, they told us that they’re delayed because they’re helping another customer who just came up to them on the way over and that it would be «rude» to not answer their question and there was «nothing they could do.» I will tell you what’s rude… keeping the person you were helping waiting while helping the person who interrupted. I hope you give that front desk person some serious training on what is polite and impolite! Unacceptable in my eyes and frustrating as a loyal 24-​hr fitness customer of 7+ years.

They keep this gym super clean, the machines are organized well, and they have a crap ton of cardio. They don’t have a pool like the Rosedale location, but they make up for it with the cleanliness and friendliness. If you’re into personal trainers Jessica G is awesome!

I recently signed up for a membership at this location and Jessica was so helpful, and great to work with. There was another gentleman that helped me too, I forgot his name. They honored my companies corp. rate which made it a great deal for me. Informed me of all my membership options, and were very welcoming especially to someone who hasn’t seen a gym in YEARS! Thanks again! Great staff, very happy.

Wow! To say this review is overdue is an major understatement. Where do I even begin? Let me get a few things off my chest here and give you a little background with me and this gym. I have been going to this gym for over 10 years. I will most likely continue to go to this gym because of the convenient hours (24 hours), the close proximity to my house, and the low membership cost. I have seen employees and managers come and go at this place. This most recent manager really pays attention to make sure there is no trash lying around. I do appreciate that. I often see her walking around and picking up trash. Also the soap and paper towels are usually stocked in the bathroom and I appreciate that. This was a problem in the past years. The current guy that fixes stuff (Pete) is really good and I hope that 24 hour Fitness realizes this and keeps him at all costs. 24 hour fitness really needs to build a nicer newer gym if they want to attract new customers in Bakersfield. All the new customers are getting memberships elsewhere because the 24 hour gyms are all old and run down looking. There are so many nice, new gyms in Bakersfield now. This one has no pool, no jacuzzi, and no sauna. When I got my membership there were few local choices and my decision was easy. I’m not sure if I would choose 24 hour Fitness in Bakersfield nowadays.
Moving on here, I can’t rate this gym without rating the customers too. The only way I can fit everything into my review is to break it down like this:
Things I like about this gym:
— The close proximity to my house.
— The membership dues are extremely cheap, at least for me they are because I signed up a long time ago.
— The open 24 hours thing.
— The fact that they are a very large chain and you can work out in most cities you visit, all across the country, if your membership covers you. You will find that the 24 hour Fitness Gyms in larger cities put the ones in Bakersfield to shame. Especially the Super Sport 24 Hour Fitness Locations.
— The kids care is nice. Its price has really gone up lately. They charge five bucks per kid for up to two hours. It used to be like two or three bucks. I still like it though and Holly is awesome with the kids.
Things that annoy, bother, or amuse me about this gym (yes I have actually witnessed all of these):
— The amount of old people that work out here. Don’t get me wrong, I love old people but sometimes its like visiting a convalescent home.
— The 80’s-90’s décor.
— The old cardio machines. Look at the dates on some of these things!
— Guys that tuck in their shirts. There is no reason for this. I don’t care how nice you think your waistline is. By the way, your waist is below your belly button.
— Guys that wear tank tops. Yes this is just guys, girls are exempt. I don’t care how nice you think your muscles are, put a regular damn shirt on.
— People that stink so bad that it actually makes you queasy.
— People that don’t bring a towel. This is a rule that was enforced in previous years but has not been lately.
— People that stand face to face, butt naked, in the locker room, and have extended conversations.
— The fact that the sinks in the men’s room either have boiling hot water or freezing cold water and have nothing in between.
— People that stretch for 15 minutes before jogging or walking on a treadmill for 5 minutes.
— Guys that bring a towel but refuse to use it for its intended purpose, instead they pull up the bottom of their shirt and wipe their face, exposing their gut to everyone.
— People that try too hard to color coordinate their work out clothing/​shoes.
— The few chicks that have taken it too far and now look like skeletons.
— The old guys that dye their hair and their beards. Only chicks should dye their hair. Nobody is believing that jet black or chocolate brown beard is natural.
— Guys and girls that tan too much and look bizarre. Just FYI, tanning does not make you look skinnier, stronger, or more fit.
— Guys that take a dump in the bathroom and then promptly walk out and start hitting the weights without washing their hands (yes, I have witnessed this)
— Ladies don’t want to take a cardio class because you are basically on display through all the windows. And let’s face it, no shortage of weirdos and creeps here.
— The amount of people that use handicap parking. If you are able to go into the gym and work out then you are able to walk from a regular parking stall. This is why our country is so screwed up! Everybody abuses programs that are designed to help a few in need! And I know there are a few truly disabled people that should use the parking.
–People that are constantly weighing themselves at the gym. No idiot, you didn’t lose anything in the last 10 minutes…
–People that think they are entitled to use 3 – 4 weight machines at once or take walks around the gym and think their machine is reserved.
There are probably more things but I’m outta space. Peace.

I’m actually fairly impressed by this 24 hour Active. Aside from the fact that you have to pay $ 4 for a small towel and $ 8 for a large towel (which by the way is highway robbery …) everything was pretty good.
The locker rooms were surprisingly clean, the bathrooms were in order and there wasn’t a lot of trash or even a spec of dirt to be found. I was really surprised by this, but then again maybe not a lot of women come to this 24 hour fitness so … it doesn’t get used hence it doesn’t get dirty?
The floor is setup alright, it’s pretty big and there is a huge area where you can get your cardio done across from all the weight machines.
The weight room is significant. There is a number of different equipment and two walls with one being more focused on legs and squats and one with benches. My only gripe would be that their weights are sooooo outdated. Maybe this is a 24 hour fitness active thing … but they really need better weights!

I like it… i just wish they made it a super sport and updated a few of their machines.

Dear Nunya B.
As a spin instructor i can tell you that the reason there is more than one instructor at a gym is to give you an option if you dont like one don’t go to the class!!! it is your choice but a lot of us love Angie’s classes… i go to them and i work with a completely different company!!! every instructor brings a different flavor to the class so we don’t get board!!! So next time you go to a class think about all the work and love we instructors put into our work, sometimes we have off days just like you do!!! We do thus because we love it not for the money…
Sincerely,
Angie’s Biggest Fan!!!

Best 24H fitness in Bakersfield. Always clean. sometimes broken machinary. great staff. friendly memebers

I usually work-​out at a CrossFit gym, but on workdays when I work 12-​hour shifts and can’t make it to my CF classes, 24 Hour Fitness is the next best thing. This place is small, compared to the 24-​hour facilities in the Bay Area, where I’m from, but it does the job.
They have a large amount of cardio equipment and I can’t complain about how many treadmills they have, which is what I mainly use there. One thing they need to do here, though, is update their cardio equipment. Some of their machines look like they’re from the 80’s. Also, more than one rower would be nice. The weight room is okay and is pretty crowded with weight machines. I like to lift weights, but there isn’t very much space to do Olympic lifting, nor do they have bumper plates, so I just stick to lighter lifting.
Like any other global gym, there are creepy guys there, but that’s something you gotta deal with. Overall, the gym, bathrooms, and showers are clean. The employees are nice. If you need to work-​out late or in the middle of the night, 24 Hour Fitness is the way to go.
