24 Hour Fitness

Bought out by Gold’s Gym. Not cool at all. I’d give 0 stars if I could…

The gym is good. There are a ton of cardio machines to choose from, sometimes they don’t work so count your luck stars if you get a good machine. The weight section is good but busy, so I’ve never really been in the area. A nice spin room which is empty at night, so you can spin your heart away. The locker rooms are gross, bathrooms are not clean. And I always find a naked lady just wondering around as if its normal, BUT ITS NOT! If you want to get a good value this is the place. If you want a luxury gym and can afford to pay the price, go down the road. The staff here is a hit or a miss. If you go in the mornings/​afternoon, the staff is young and self absorbed. But if you go at night, late night, the front desk workers are really nice and go out of the way for you. Meghan, who works the night shift was/​is the best!

I’ve worked out at ⁵⁄₅ star gyms and I’ve worked out at disgusting ¹⁄₅ star gyms. This 24 Hour Fitness is a solid 3 star gym. It probably has 95% of the equipment, machines, and fitness classes you’re looking for and it’s reasonably clean.
I have been working out at this location for a little over a year now. I pay $ 32/​month for the basic membership and I think it’s pretty reasonable for what you get. They recently replaced their treadmills (yay) but some of their machines and weights are a bit old/​rusty. They have TRX suspension training, a basketball court, a cycling room, a swimming pool, a whirlpool, and a steam room. I have purchased personal training sessions before, and while they’re effective, I simply cannot justify paying $ 300 for 5 sessions.
I usually workout after 8pm because from 4pm-​7pm, this place is crowded. Almost all of the treadmills and ellipticals are being used and there are too many people in the free weight area. Overall, I recommend this gym for anyone who’s looking for something really basic, inexpensive, and accessible at any time of day.

I signed up in Arnold, and was also visiting the Chesterfield facilities: members use cell phones in sauna listening to music and sports broadcast. As I complained to the staff, I was told cell phones are not allowed and they will take care of it. They didn’t. I was the only person In The sauna without a phone. People can also take pictures and didn’t feel safe beside the fact it’s just rude. I caller corporate today cancelling and skied for a refund. They said by company policy they give me no refund at all.

If only I hadn’t bought the $ 15/​month to this shit bag facility at Costco. I am NOT EXAGGERATING in the following specifics. I have photos that may be used to their HQ later, but these are my past three experiences there since March: 1. FIVE of the seven ellipticals in the same row are not only broken, but they are probably too lazy to put out of order signs on each one, therefore, I had to get on one, realize either the batteries weren’t working, the rusty handles were falling off, etc. 2. There was a HOLE in the treadmill belt. Two in the back row (there are only two rows to begin with) were out of order with signs… for two weeks. 3. There is a leaky faucet in the bathroom. I brought it to the attn of the staff once, then the MANAGER again, the 3^rd time there, I actually made a sign and taped it to the faucet that said not to use it. ResultK I time stamped that first picture in mid-​March and I went in today, the last day in April, and it is POURING still. Ignorant company. I already gave them my money, but cannot justify going into that staff-​infected building. And don’t even get me started on the 20 year old equipment.

All the staff are friendly and it’s always open… can’t ask for much more than that. It’s a real gym without all the fluff… and very affordable. I plan to stay here for life. Highly recommended.

I have been working out at 24 Hour Fitness for about 6 months now and have had a variety of workouts in this facility.
This place has some positives and thats where I will start:
*Close proximity to my home
*Inexpensive membership cost (about $ 29 per month with no contract)
*Lots of cardio equipment which means you don’t have to wait for your machine of choice.
*The staff is friendly.
*They are open 24 hours a day.
*They have a shop that sells apparel, protein powders & bars & workout accoutrements that you may have forgotten.
*They have a basketball court (which always seems to be busy)
*David, the Zumba instructor, is amazing!
The down side to working out at 24 Hour Fitness:
*Cleanliness is just not there. The showers have globs of hair in the drain and the equipment smells sweaty. They need someone to be wiping down equipment on a regular basis as some of the nasty members don’t have the respect for other people to wipe off their sweat and germs.
*Equipment is old. There is visible rust on a large portion of the equipment. The new equipment smells like sweaty socks.
*The swimming pool only has 3 lap lanes which requires a wait to get your swim on. Not Cool! (I lack patience.)
*The group fitness classes are limited because they only have 1 studio. There are only 2 – 3 yoga classes a week which is a major down side for me.
*Sign up is required for spinning classes. I am not likely to sign up for a spinning class even though I would want to attend one. This is a deterrent.
*No towel service.
If you are looking for a cheap & basic gym to workout and you live in the Chesterfield/​Ballwin/​Manchester area this may be a good spot. Just make sure you scrub your hands like a doctor going into surgery after working out on the equipment.

Very nice gym with an excellent staff. The equipment is well taken care of and plenty of them. Numerous activities. Locker room (men’s) is above average. If you compare it to the Kirkwood location you won’t be disappointed as this isn’t a meat market. A gym truly interested in your health and well being. Many thanks keep up the good work!

This has been my gym for over the past 8 years BC its the closest to me.
Pros: its 24 hours, staff has always been friendly to me, great deals for membership if you know where/​when to look, has a basketball court and sauna/​pool/​steam room, great classes w great instructors
Con’s: Dirty/​smelly on machines and rooms. Nobody seems to wipe down the equipment after using it and maintenance takes forever to fix things that are run down. They recently renovated several years ago by adding a punching bag and trx suspension which was very nice but it could still use a lot of work. Wish they would add more cross fit equipment for public use and not just for personal training sessions. Some friends have had occasional bad experiences w staff.

So happy to a found a 24 hour fitness I missed the pool and the steam room so glad I was able to come in
So get glad I made time to come in.
Pretty packed for January that’s typical. pool only had three or four people in it.
the Jacuzzi and sauna work very well.
I personally enjoy the steam room

Great gym. It looks like it was recently built so all is in tip top shape. No complaints.

I’ve had a membership here for several years, 5 I think. It a really good gym, has everything you need without over doing it, open 24 hours (of course), clean locker rooms (with showers), plenty of tread mills and ellipticals, 10 TVs, a swimming pool and always friendly staff. While I have also had a membership elsewhere I don’t see ever leaving this one. I like the flexibility to go whenever I want and with my renewal rate, it’s a no brainer. Plenty of trainers on staff to enlist if needed.

Being a fitness fiend, I didn’t want my workout routine to suffer while away from my home gym so I signed up for a few free days at this gym and I was not disappointed.
I had been to the Arnold location several times so I had the general idea of what was going on at this club. I really enjoyed the change of pace from my gym, some of the different equipment was awesome.
In the future, if we ever move and need to switch, I will most likely switch to this facility. Very friendly and helpful staff. I would say they need to work on their ventilation more but then again what’s a little sweat, right?

2 points bc they always have a guy walking around cleaning. But also 2 points for leaky roof. Whats up with that!
When it rains, there are buckets everywhere on the floor to catch the water. Water all over the machines as you can see by the dirty dripping streaks on the sides. So weird you’d think a big company like that could afford a new roof!
also men’s locker room always smells like a sewer. Maybe related?
never have to wait for a machine, although most are rusted so if you can get over that you’re good to go
nice staff
pool
co-​ed steam/​sauna and hot tube
basketball court
spinning room
tons of mirrors to flex your flabby arms at
really could use a renovation

I have been a member for a couple of years now. Love the location but disappointed in the many water buckets around when it rains or snows. Would love if the roof could get fixed to solve the leaking problem. Machines are good but there are usually a few treadmills not working. Think they need to update their equipment to keep up with other gyms.

Nice clean gym. No broken machines during the time I was using the gym. Lots of staff to answer any exercise questions. Not sure if they have the right answers. Gym did allow for a 20 $ week long membership which was all I needed. Only bad thing was they didn’t offer up any type of a sweat towel. They do have paper available for wiping down machines and your face if you want. I would suggest just bringing your own sweat towels. If you sweat.

Clean gym, decent equipment, fabulous instructors. Alana in particular… Best instructor in the Midwest!

I tried this gym out for a week when looking for a gym near my office. They do not clean their machines or the locker rooms very well. In addition, the locker rooms were kept at a spicy 85 degrees the entire week I was there. (Not comfortable for getting dressed for work.) Also, the roof leaks, so two of the days I was there, water was dripping into a wastecan in the locker room.
