What People Are Saying About 24 Hour Fitness

In Short
With classes ranging from 24 Hour Tease, a sexy strip aerobic class, to the more subdued Vinyasa flow yoga and butt-kickin' boot camp, this active sports club is packed with health conscious (and some insomniac) gym goers. Stocked with the latest cardio and weight-training equipment, this gym cranks up the pumping music, flicks on the Plasma TV sets, and lets fitness fanatics work out according to their own schedule. With affordable rates and a friendly, knowledgeable staff, personal training is another tangible get-fit option. And while the moniker is somewhat misleading, on most days the door is open for at least nineteen hours--not too shabby.

An excellent, well-rounded gym located close to a few hotels. The friendly an approachable staff and gym members was exactly what I was looking for when I walked in. Plenty of equipment and well-maintained. They offer a great prepay special during the holidays that's definitely worth checking out! Highly recommend.

DIDO pearlpdx regarding how terrible the management of this gym is. I have written time and again about the lack of shower curtains in the women's showers. I've heard the same complaint from many women in the locker room, but may concede that the manager just really doesn't care. I'm almost tempted to bring in my own! Just an FYI, to those who like this location but would like a better experience, there is an LA Fitness opening up on 14th & Northrup in November. Hopefully they will take more consideration in making sure the manager and staff have better customer service sense.

I've belonged to a number of gyms over the years in NYC, Chicago, and now Portland. 24 Hr Fitness in the Pearl is far and away the worst. If it were possible to bestow less than one star, I happily would have. Some specifics: the cardio equipment is outdated and frequently broken. None of the treadmills have built in fans, and half of them don't even have heart rate monitors. The temperature control is non-existent. All of the cardio equipment is situated upstairs and it gets scorchingly hot up there. Although there are several fans mounted on the ceiling, they are *never* actually turned on - a baffling decision. There is one paper towel dispenser in the entire gym and it's located upstairs by the cardio equipement. They were apparently too cheap to place them in the bathrooms....you have to use an air dryer after hand washing. There is a dearth of available space to stretch out, which matches the lack of available mats at any given time. All of these complaints would be tolerable, given the good location if it weren't for the following: This gym has the absolute worst management of any professional company I have ever dealt with. First, it's impossible to actually speak to a manager. The front desk is staffed entirely by people in their early 20's who obviously do not care about customer service or satisfaction. They are rude and dismissive as a rule. Since they refuse to produce a manager, complaints must be left with a front desk staff member who dutifully writes down the complaint and then throws it away as soon as the angry customer has left the counter. I hate this gym so much that I'm still in the process of trying to cancel my membership - and I can't because "there's no manager available....and the manager has to do it". I can't overstate how unprofessional, disappointing, and flat out maddening it is to be gouged on a monthly basis for such horrific service. Do yourself a favor and DO NOT JOIN!!!!!!!
