24 Hour Fitness

This gym is a SHIT HOLE! Sauna and steam room are smelly and dirty. The lay out is wacky and needs a face lift. The parking garage situation is messed up as well. Never going back

This gym is really dirty!!! Nasty!!! Smells really bad especially the sauna, smells like ass! It’s so crowded as in all their equipment has no space what’s so ever, I couldn’t focus on working out, I seriously can her the person next to me breathing… Too close for comfort. Hate hate this gym, what a waste of time. 24 hour fitness you guys have so much money why not use it to improve this gym.

I signed up about six yrs ago and was promised that after the the yrs i paid up front, my renewal fees would be $ 99/​yr for life. BS, they raised it to $ 199, more than the Costco price. Then said i have to call, then was told i signed something with“small print”, then got an email of a contract without my signature. I was lied to, tricked, and treated horribly. I should have kept my OLD BALLY membership. They were at least honest, fair and considerate

it cant say super sports 24.

This is an «ok» 24. I’m using to working out at 24 Sport or Ultra Sport clubs so this one was a bit sub par to what I’m used to. Obviously no towel service here. The facility is small. You have to walk upstairs to use cardio machines and weights. Parking is in the garage. I didn’t have to pay and ended up parking on the 6^th floor because there weren’t any spots! The spots are tight so be careful. Luckily that worked out because the gym is on the 6^th floor of the garage.

Prior to working out at this location, one of my good friends complained and said word for word, «this place is douchey.» She really hated going there apparently. When my boyfriend and I went there for the first time, we didn’t get it, LOL. So I guess this place would be considered «douchey» depending on who’s going here. We didn’t see anything overly «douchey» besides really fit people with hot bodies.
My only pet peeve is that there are only 2 squat racks… which is not enough to accommodate the amount of people that are going there. Most often, I’d have to wait 5 – 10 minutes on a good day. I would just turn around and go to the Redondo location if I’m there on a busy day. It’s just not worth it. The only time that I was able to use the squat rack without any wait was at 7pm on a saturday. The entire place was empty.
Which brings up another point, most gyms start getting empty around the holidays. But not this location… it is always busy. So unless you’re willing to come super late at night or at 7pm on saturdays, I would just avoid coming here (especially if you’re hitting the squat racks).
Overall this location has a great vibe. I don’t feel uncomfortable doing my usual heavy squats and deadlifts without having some smart mouth coming over to critique my forms.
Parking is underneath the building and you’d have to take several flights of escalators going up.

Sign and entrance to 24 HR Fitness is easy to miss. You must enter through a parking garage which is free for now. Park where ever you can, the gym is on LEVEL 6 and gets crazy busy during peak hours. So much so it’s not worth going if you’re weight training these times.
The staff is friendly, the facility is multi floored and has good air circulation. Elevators and wheelchair lifts for those who need it and for when you push yourself to far on leg day.
There is a basketball court, and wet area.

The place is typically filthy. There’s black mold all over the vents. At any given time there are numerous machines broken or not operating as they should. Some of the desk staff (right when you walk in) are super friendly and some are super rude and would rather talk with their coworkers than help someone out.
So this place is a give and take. If there were something else priced reasonably in the area, most of us would go somewhere else. But 24 is within walking or running distance for most locals and it’s cheap, that’s it. I think they also started charging more for both up front initiation fees and monthly fees, but I’m not positive so check the website for sure.

Wow, not much to say about 24Hr fitness and their practices. Do yourself a favor prior signing up for ANY 24hr fitness locations and Google (24hr fitness price hike).
They have increased lifetime members prices who already paid a huge upfront cost.
Example.
I paid an upfront cost of $ 500 for the first three years with a lifetime renewal of $ 49 each month. This was on contract with no yearly rate increases to exceed 3%. Fast forward 8 years and upon attempting to renew my membership, the fee jumped to $ 99.
There was ZERO warning on this increase. Please do a Google search, there will be a class action lawsuit against 24hr fitness on this. I called their support desk and asked for a copy of my contract. It took over an hour to talk to someone and they refuse to give me a copy of my contract.
If the gyms were kept in decent condition, I might agree to pay more. But I have yet to go to a decent 24hr fitness in my area and there are three.

For a Super Sport, not good. Good looking people but gym quality is low for the price you pay. The size of this 24 is decent it is not large or small. There is a cycle room in an area that looks like an attic with some treadmills and other cardio machines. On the main level there are more cardio machines and machines. Some of the cardio machines have a personal TV which you need your own head phones for. The second level is a small area for free weights and the entrance for the basketball court. There is a window that faces the ocean but you probably can see the neighbors roofs better then the sea. The basement or entrance level are offices. The women’s rooms wasn’t impressive, it was a bit old. There are some lockers on the main level with keys where you can lock your stuff safety. The parking lot is within the plaza.
Overall I give this place two stars out of five because it is suppose to be a Super Sport not a regular Sport. There were so Personal Trainers walking around trying to assist any of the clients. There is no pool, sauna, or jacuzzi. Also the AC was not blasting so many clients were sweaty a lot (including myself) so the machines were getting dirty. One good thing is that the machines seems new-​ish or at least clean.
If this place remained a Sport I would give it four stars. But for a Super Sport it was disappointing.
Overall atmosphere in the gym was people respected your personal space and no one stared at you hardcore while you’re working out. Diverse clients, mostly white middle aged men.

Unsafe, unsanitary, and no follow up.
After I was attacked by a member who claimed I was on his bike, the manager and I filed a report and said he would get back to me to follow up with me about the incident. The manager never got back to me, called me, or anything. I ended up filing a police report and canceling.
During my time there, I experienced another attack before which was not filed as a previous manager decided to let if fly because someone got physical with me saying I was on his machine so he decided to take it into his own hands and put his foot on the machine I was on to lock me in it. I had to break free by kicking the pad up on the machine to get him off and he claimed I tried to hurt him. He and his wife created a fiasco over a machine which was clearly available to everyone.
The whirlpool was gross. There was a yellow/​white bubbly film over the water… Questionable.
There are only 2 showers in the downstairs locker rooms that lead to the pool, sauna, steam so be prepared to wait for one. To add to the lack of flow, the water flow in the shower head was in poor condition.

Men are super hot here. Welcome to LA.
Le fin.

This is by far one of the best 24 fitness I’ve been to. The layout is pretty nice and open. They have a pretty nice free weight area with a decent amount of equipment. They also have a small area with kettle bells and some circuit type equipment.
They also have a lot of cardio machines if you’re into that stuff. They even have a couple of rowers which is my preferred choice of cardio. However if you do like working on machines for your strength, this place might not be for you. They have a very limited variety of machines.
They also have a basketball court which always seems to be pretty busy every time I go to work out.

I’ve been training here 5 years now and I can tell you, this isn’t a perfect gym! Some equipment can be down at times, the bathrooms need better cleaning, management sometimes is lacking. Parking can suck, its often crowded and the layout isn’t the norm, its on different levels all mixed up! It was after all a movie theater some years back.
With all that said, this is my gym and if it’s not clean enough, big enough, maintained enough, nice enough, not enough parking. to crowded and or not perfect enough for you? All I can tell you is GET OVER YOURSELF!!!
Its a flippen gym for fucks sake. Go to Beverly Hills and spend $ 200.00 a month if all those other things are so damned important to ya? If not shut up and lift!!!
Have a nice day!

Not a regular at this location as I am from out of town but this is my go-​to 24 hour fitness anytime I’m in the Redondo/​Torrance/​Hermosa area!
The gym has an odd design. It’s not the tradition «wide open» warehouse type feel.
As you check in, the locker rooms are on the bottom floor. You go up a flight of stairs and get to cardio room. This first room has multiple levels of cardio and a small selection of machines and the TRX station. There’s this long hallway which has some of the newer Precor machines. At the end of the hallway is the free weight room and basketball courts. Does it sound like a madhouse? First timers might get lost lol.
Free weight room has decent amount of goodies (i rarely ever see a plate loaded dip machine at ANY gym) but it really could use more 45lb plates. The hammer press and benches are also SUPER close to each other and packed in tightly. Mirrors are also super low too.
Parking garage is GREAT as long as there is parking. It is free too which is nice.
If this 24 was back home in the Bay Area, I’d definitely go to it. It has all the amenities and you gotta love the large basketball court. People here are more on the «fit side» as well, so for your gawkers… there’s definitely eye candy lol

Words cannot describe the unethical and scamming practice 24 Hour Fitness just pulled on my boyfriend. He has been a loyal member for over 8 years with the $ 49/​year LIFETIME membership, and every February, they renew his membership by automatically charging the fees to his credit card. They even called him one year when his credit card expired so they could get a new card on file. A month ago (June) when he tried to go the club, they told him that his membership was cancelled. No notice, no phone call, no mail, NOTHING. Of course, the staff at the club cannot offer any help whatsoever (yet they would LOOOOVE to sign you up as a new member, just don’t have time or patience for old loyal members). So of course, we had to spend hours on the phone with customer service, which was even a more waste of our time.
Us: you cancelled my membership without any notice, I need you to please reinstate me as a member.
Supervisor: oh, we sent you a letter.
Us: where did you send the letter?
Supervisor: ummm… well I’m not sure, but we sent one.
Us: I’ve been with 24 Hour Fitness for over 8 years. It does not seem like you value my business.
Supervisor: of course we value your business and you as a member.
Us: then reinstate me as a member.
Supervisor: oh we can’t do that.
Us: then you don’t value me as a member.
Supervisor: we can reinstate you as a new member at the new rate!
And this went on and on. There was no effort whatsoever shown by 24 Hour Fitness to right their wrong. They sounded like they cancelled his membership on purpose, so they can get rid of all of their $ 49/​year lifetime members. What a SCAM! What’s even worse, I have friends that were on that plan, and when they went in and the club told them their membership was cancelled, they were able to reinstate them at $ 99/​year! So why the special treatment for certain members?! Please please please stay away from their unethical business practice and join Planet Fitness instead — $ 10/​month, no commitment, and no scams!!!
It seems like this has been happening to a lot of members; is there any class action lawsuit already in motion that we can join in!!!

This is a good location, very convenient for the South Bay, located where Sepulveda later turns to PCH and is around at the corner of 16^th Street.
There’s a lot of machines and weights for both cardio and strength training. I’m fortunate enough to be flexible enough to go off hours, so don’t know and don’t want to experience the peak hours where/​when it’s busy, so know nothing about how 24 Hour Fitness is then. I’m sure it’s like any other supply and demand driven gym ‘tho, and that’s why many people wake up extra early or go after dinner later to avoid the crowds.
The staff are friendly, welcoming on the way in and out. When you sign up it’s pretty straight forward, I didn’t get the upsell hustle.
The clientele are diverse in age, gender and ethnicity, but this location does lean more towards the beautiful people more so than the location on Redondo Beach Blvd/​Hawthorne, which is more no-​frills since it’s an «Active» club where this one is a bigger «Sport» facility that has a full basketball court and more amenities. It’s mainly younger folks ‘tho, a pretty equal balance of girls and guys, mainly Caucasian if I had to pick a majority for the users, but that’s the profile of the Beach Cities anyway, so it mimics and mirrors the South Bay demographic profile.
The building itself used to be a movie theater, and there’s 3 floors to the place. The main 2^nd floor has most of the equipment and there’s lot of machines, so for the most part there’s no pressure or time limits that I’ve seen.
Bring a towel ‘tho, as people sweat and the machines and etiquette here seem to be self-​service and self-​maintenance, so most don’t wipe down machines after they use ‘em, and most defer to just wiping down the machines before they themselves use them and assume that same duty or burden to the next user after them.
They have a class schedule too, so I saw some cycling and yoga posted up for people to partake in.
The parking is so-​so, meaning it’s not guaranteed nor easy. The problem is inherent to the design more so than anything 24 Hour Fitness can control. People drive in/​out and within the structure with a bit of recklessness, not keeping in their own lanes, staying to the right side, as well as speeding in and out up and down the ramps, which is an accident waiting to happen. The parking spaces themselves are striped for compact cars, but bigger cars wreck havoc on those plans, as the spaces are tight even for a compact car let alone those SUV’s who park there. There’s parking out in the streets and residential areas of course, and hey… if you’re going to the gym and trying to stay fit, maybe parking off-​site is a good thing to warm you up going in and cool you down going out. The Beach Cities for the most part is a safe area too.

Absolutely disgusting. It smells horrible and the AC is broken. I can feel the sweat hanging in the air. There is dust three inches thick on top of all the ceiling mounted televisions. The keypad at check-​in is coated in grime and disgustingness.
DANGEROUS. Got on three stairmasters and every single one was broken. the stairs move when the machine is turned off. not safe at all. The treadmills were rickety and unstable.
I left a comment card with my phone number, and also gave my phone number to the front desk. NOBODY ever called me.
This place should be shut down by the department of health.
