24 Hour Fitness

Always dirty, bathrooms are covered in urine and toilet paper, standing water in the bathrooms as well, not the showers that would be normal. They don’t put up signs to let you know about maintenance ahead of time or even on the front door during maintenance like pools and saunas etc. The guy behind the counter didn’t even offer additional options like other locations, instead he just said have a good night as I walked out. I’ve contemplated canceling my membership at least seven times and I have work for 24 Hour Fitness at three different branches in three different states. By far this is the worst one and the highest price I’ve ever paid. Costco here I come

I held a 24 Hour Fitness membership for over 8 years, frequenting locations in California and Hawaii and generally being satisfied with their services. My FIRST day in Vancouver, new city, new job, new lease on life, I decided to head to the gym to get a workout in and play some basketball. Long story short, a group of hooligans decided they didn’t particularly care for the new guy on the court. I ended up with a busted head, which bled profusely all over the gym and required several stitches that night, and a greatly diminished opinion of the 24 Hour Fitness brand as a whole. Insult to injury, I’ve since come to find out that my membership has also been revoked as a «participant» in the altercation (without any notice to me, by the way). This obviously makes zero sense, as I’ve been a totally respectful patron of the club for nearly a decade, paying my dues on time like clockwork and never having any previous issues or conflicts.

Beware Three Day Pass
I’m active duty military stationed in Utah. I was in town visiting my family in Portland for the holidays. I keep an active lifestyle so I decided to sign up for their three day pass to get a workout in. When I arrived the sales rep kept asking if we knew about the sale that was going on and that they’d be more than happy to sign us up now (we didn’t even get a chance to try the place out). I tried to explain that I was in the military and we have our own gyms on base. I just wanted to workout for the day. He then told us the deal is for locals only. We let him know that we are from Portland and have Oregon IDs with Portland addresses. He then said the three day pass is only for individuals interested in signing up. I don’t know how someone will want to sign up if you don’t let them try it out first. I wouldn’t recommend this place and the bad attitude by some staff alone makes me wonder why people stay.

I’ve been going here for years. It is always consistently clean and there’s plenty of machines to use that are new and clean. The classes are good and I’m never disappointed! Love it here! Tanning beds, spray tans and spa located right next door at Sunrise Salon makes it very convenient for me!

I absolutely love the atmosphere of the place, the amount of space, weights. They have a great staff who works here. everyone is extremely happy and very friendly. I highly recommend all the classes they offer.

Overall it’s very good Gym, open all the time with lots of stations. The crew is usually nice but can be annoying sometimes and what bothers me is how they try to sell you training sessions so hard. If you can avoid that then that’s a good place to work out and fairly cheap. The good thing is that’s open 24 hours a day…

The women’s locker room floors look like the cleanup crew stockpile dirt for sport. At first glance, it seems there are not that many machines but the machines they do have are brand new and working. The more time you spend here the more machines you will see in various locations. This Fitness center is bigger than Mall 205 and Downtown Portland. The training space is nicely secluded and tucked away.

Good gym, sometimes pretty busy. They’ve got a lot of equipment and programs available. The pool is almost always full. The reason I only gave this gym 3 stars is because they don’t have free wifi. And I need wifi for a lot of the music and TV I listen to so it raises my cellphone bill. If I can find a gym with free wifi and the same amount of equipment I will be switching.

This is really good convenient location for me. I don’t need a lot of lavish amenities. All I need is a clean area to workout in that has fairly new equipment. The staff seems to understand this, and doesn’t push any products or services to the members. From time to time I buy some of their product specials they have available, but there’s never any pressure to do so.

Amazing! Honestly the best thing to come into my life. I know 24 will always love me and never leave. Will be there for me through thick and thin. Glad I decided to make a relationship with her.

I became a regular here I lost over 50lbs, squatted 315lbs with so much pregression and accomplishment I felt good about myself. The front desk staff at night have always been so nice. Matt, Michelle, Jose, Kaleb (no longer there) always asking what I was working out. I know all the regulars from 10pm-​2am. I would normally recommend everyone to this gym in particular because I loved everything about it…
Until recently this encounter accrued with my fiancé that left me with a bitter taste in my mouth about this company. My fiancé came home from leave was told to pay $ 15 fee for A day pass… he lives here in Washington but because he is stationed in Virginia he was not allowed to use the three day pass for free.
This is how you treat military?
I know some night crew memebers at night who let people on for free and someone who is in the service being told to pay 15?
My fiancé just has two years left and was planning on moving back to Washington and joining this gym because of all the good things I had to say about this place, but now I completely glad I cancelled my membership for good, I never want to return back here and will not recommend this gym in particular or any other 24.

It’s very close to my house. I like the fact they are open all the time. But compare to other locations they have big room to improve — they gave my friends really hard time when they wanted a trial. The machines get broken too many times. The locker room not so clean. Still it’s a nice place to go to.

Donovan is awesome at keeping me mobile. thanks donovan

Gym is way too small to be so busy.
Do not even consider going to this gym between 5 PM and 8 PM.
I’ve found that the best time to go is 5 AM and 11 PM. hahaha, gotta get there while people are sleeping.

new manager taking the initiative to improve on problem issues. that alone deserves 5 stars.
i was contacted online by Aaron, the new manager, and asked if i would revisit the issues of concerns reported over 6 months ago and re-​evaluate.
i have since been back several times, day and night, and found that most of my concerns have been adressed as much as possible and staff seems to be well motivated, friendlier and a lot more customer oriented.
good for you Aaron S. & keep it up.

Closest gym to my folks house. Worth keeping our 24hour membership for for when we travel.
typical mcFitness setup.

Closest sport to my in-​laws place.
Staff is friendly on the way in — especially since we don’t have the thumb scanner set up for us.
Lots of machines — treadmills, stair machines, ellipticals, gazelles etc!
Many weight machines and free weights and also a good amount of «beautiful» people!

Place is clean and friendly staff. It does get crowded at times, but that’s why I go late in the evening.
Lot’s of classes offered, although I do wish they would some more later in the evening.
Overall, great place to work out!

Good place to work out. Fair number of classes available. Helpful and friendly staff. Well maintained facilities. Most importantly it doesn’t smell like a gym!
They do offer to take care of your kids while you work out for a small fee so that’s super nice too.

I am much surprise that this gym has worse reviews than the 24 hr on Tech Center!
Pros:
Large/​small lockers (for those of us that hit the gym after work)
Plenty of cardio machines, neatly arranged
It’s clean
Ample parking
Terrific staff
Excellent training staff
Cons:
It is a busy gym, so you may need to wait for a machine at times
In the surrounding area, I would say this is the best 24 hr gym. The pearl is too crowded with an awful parking situation (do not attempt the garage, my friend, you WILL get trapped). Tech Center does not seem clean to me, it is overcroweded w/​a high-​level of traffic and the trainers do not seem to be as great as Andreesen or the Pearl (however, I have only hired a trainer at the Andreesen location). Tech Center was also really sales-​y. Not my style.
If you live in the area, I would recommend giving this gym a try.
