24 Hour Fitness

This gum is in bad shape, the woman’s locker room is so dirty and has mildew and mold. I would not recommend this location and to top it off one of the female employees is so rude and unprofessional. She started to scold a male employee at the front desk that was helping me. Tried to use the showers yesterday and all the drains were clogged and water was backed up and smelled awful

So it’s raining in So Cal today and I need to do my seven. I haven’t been to this gym in over year. The last time I worked out here I was pierced by strands of steel from the cable cross over. I pay more and use the Super Sport on Jamboree in Irvine. I Figured what the hell all I need is a treadmill? The first one I fired up made more noise then a bed in an hourly rate motel room. Jumped one over and fired that puppy up only to find the belt slipping, as I slowed it down the belt abruptly stopped and my mouth was heading towards the display, thank God for years of karate as my reflexes were quick and I was able to jump off. The next one worked liked a champ and I was able to knock off 7. You’ve been warned!

I just finished 5 sessions with trainer Nina. She has been specially trained to work with seniors and never pushes you beyond what you feel you’re capable of doing. She set up a training program for me that I can continue to do on my own. She’s fun and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her to any seniors who want to get in better shape.

I usually work out in the morning at my home club before work, but work near this and needed to go today at lunch. WOW. The staff is super friendly but I can’t believe the state that gym equipment is in. The treadmills are so old, I couldn’t get the speed up and down with any kind of quickness to do intervals… and the girl next to me had a bad treadmill belt and had to move! The chest press belt stuck when I was mid-​lift and couldn’t be fixed… The equipment is so old, and the locker room was disgusting. No thanks.

Dirty. Dirty. Dirty! Probably the grossest locker room and dirtiest showers I’ve ever seen at a gym.

If you are looking for a clean locker room this is not the place. I belong to other gyms but come here twice a week for some of the equipment and it never fails the bathroom is flooded or falling apart in some way. It needs a complete over hall. I’ve been coming here for years and it’s only getting worse. They need to look for a new location and expand and provided a cleaner environment.

It’s a small gym in a very busy area… I can only imagine that it must be packed to the brink during the afternoon rush servicing most of Rancho Santa Margarita, parts of Mission Viejo, Coto de Caza, Trabuco Hills/​Canyon, and Dove Canyon… That’s a lot of area for such a small gym. Corporate might want to consider purchasing a bigger space while keeping it an Active gym.

I decided to finally rate this place after going here for many years.
Pro’s: This 24 Hour Fitness location is close to my home. The staff is friendly and professional, and they do their best to keep the place clean.
Con’s: The men’s bathroom is worn out and disgusting. I will not shower there because it is just old, run down and not clean. It really needs to be redone and resanitized. Secondly, I like to work out and watch sports on their TV screens. Problem is that their DirecTV feeds are constantly broken and the TV freezes due to signal loss. I would think they (or DirecTV) would want to fix this given the negative perception of that service. Regardless, it has been a problem for a long long time.
I may stop going to this location if something does not change soon.

Friendly staff, this gym has its own charm, and is kept cleaner than most gyms for sure. Trained with Pete for a little over a year, and definitely got my money’s worth! He’s well educated and definitely knows what he’s doing, lost 8 percent body fat and am a certified trainer myself now.

This place is falling apart. Everything is old and crappy, I peak into the kids room and I see THE EXACT SAME THINGS AS WHEN I WAS A KID AND USED TO PLAY WHEN MY MOM WORKED OUT HERE. I’M 25 YEARS OLD. I pay 40 bucks for this crap gym? Canceling tomorrow, I have a membership at fitness 19, it’s 9 bucks a month and all the equipment is new and works. No it doesn’t have classes but I never go to them anyway, and I don’t need to pay an extra 29 dollars to work out at 2 am

I give this place a 1 star for the simple fact it’s convenient to walk to in relation to where I live. Save your $$. Everything here is either broken, old or both !!

This gym is ok. It’s old and is in need of a makeover. It has a strange set up. They probably opened it when RSM was first being developed in the 90’s and haven’t done anything to it since. A lot of the machines were broken the last time I came here for a quick lunch workout.. The womens locker room needed to be cleaned and had toliet paper all over the floor. 24 hour fitness should seriously spend some money renovating some of these older «active» locations such as this one. However, it does the job for a workout. It’s not my first choice, but I work close by so I come here during lunch sometimes and it’s never really crowded.

Go to Ladera Ranch instead. Toliet paper pieces all over the floor from cheap paper used and if you can even get it out! Bathrooms dirty and out of order on stalls. Just not a good place to work out. Just wanted to check this place out ad I was in the area. Ladera is so much nicer especially with new equipment.

Has a distinct, unpleasant smell. Overpriced. Clerk in store told me he’d rather lose my business than adjust my rate. 24 HOURS later I called corporate and had my price adjusted. I go because it’s nearby but I prefer Fitness Evolution a few miles away. $ 10a month. 24 was charging me $ 40!

Just visited this morning. I tried 6 different treadmills before finding one that worked (mostly). This is from left to right when looking out the window:
1. «Out of order» sign
2. Weight/​age/​programs don’t work
3. «4 Errors» message
4. Unplugged/​off/​out of order
5. Belt slips at 7mph
6. The one I settled on – minor belt slip, heart rate monitor not working.
I spoke with manager (?), Ryan, about the state of the treadmills. He stated they were a small club and didn’t have the finances to fix/​repair the machines as well as they could. He also said they couldn’t remove the broken machines as they would create a lot of empty space in the club.

This gym is my neighborhood go to. Sure, its not fancy and doesn’t have a pool, but they make up for it with an outstanding friendly staff. When is the last time you walked into your gym and were greeted by name? The front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Ryan the manager is awesome. Josh goes out of his way to help you be the most productive while working out. This gym has one of the best kept secrets in Orange County. Personal trainer, Pete is the best personal trainer I’ve ever had, and I’ve had several. His background includes training professional athletes, and it shows. Thanks Ryan and Josh for letting me use your phone, when I needed a ride home! No frills but a hidden gem.

The employees here are the only thing that makes this place function to just get by.
1. It’s *EXTREMELY* overcrowded.
2. The equipment is very old and outdated. (A lot of plates have chuncks missing out of them, dumbbells are bent, rips in seats and benches, etc.)
3. The hours are ridiculous. A 24 hour fitness that is only open until 9PM on the weekends.
I’m on the verge of getting a membership to Golds up the street… my patience is running thin with this 24 hour. It has been treated like a red headed step child.

This is my usual gym. A little bit smaller and older than others, but the big plus is that it’s usually not as crowded. So if you don’t really need a lap pool and have a defined routine with weights or machines, great place!

Ok, let’s just call it like it is… old equipment, small cramped space and awkward areas to stretch in.
So, like I said, the equipment is old. It’s outdated, it’s broken, the heart monitors don’t work, etc etc. Not anywhere that I would enjoy coming on a regular basis. It needs a serious face lift.
This is a small location, maybe an active size? Definitely not a sport, but when the place is packed out, the air feels musty and kind of smells… and the fans blowing around are not helping matters much. The ventilation is just bad.
If you are interested in using a fitness ball to do crunches or strech or do some ab work, look elsewhere, it’s in an awkward spot and there’s VERY limited space… so if two people are there, you are out of luck.
It’s not awful… but it’s definitely not my first chice.

I recently signed back up for 24 Hour Fitness after being at LA Fitness for the last 7 or 8 years. I was tired of my LA Fitness having outdated equipment and filthy bathrooms, so I figured I’d give 24 another shot since this location is a ½ mile from my place and convenience is king. Plus, while I had a great $ 25/​mo. deal at LA, Costco has a $ ³⁴⁹⁄₂ yr. deal for all 24 Hour sport locations, which works out to around $ 14.88/month. Those are some sweet savings right there.
I hadn’t been at this location since I was in high school, way back in 1997 or ’98. Unfortunately, it appears nothing has changed aside from the staff.
The gym is cramped. Severely. The open floor area, for using mats and doing ab work, is right in front of the entrance, so you feel… slightly awkward gesticulating around on the floor while overtone watches you while they enter. It should really be in the back.
The free weight room is kinda ghetto. This isn’t exactly a bad thing since I feel like Mr. T in Rocky III, training his ass off in a roughneck gym with no frills… only pain. They’re lacking some of the free weight machines I used at LA Fitness, and their dumbbells are half weighted rubber, half iron. And the iron ones kinda suck. They also lack any decent pullup bars.
Now, I don’t exactly mind all of this because I go to the gym to listen to metal and pump iron. Yes, in that order. It might lack many of the accoutrements most people in Orange County have become accustomed to at more refined establishments. If, however, you just need a dirty place to pound some iron and eschew the fancy towel service and new equipment, then this is an acceptable spot.
