Each of the instructors has his or her characteristics that make it worth trying classes with more than one of them. Will certainly return to this gym.

If you have never heard of a torso ergometer, you are missing out on the greatest cardio machine for folks with bad knees. Best upper body pump ever. Apparently this club doesn't really know that either. Otherwise good clean club.

I swim 2miles 6 days a week. I've always gotten a lane except when there was aqua class. The lanes are wide enough for two.

Good customer service. Gets a little chaotic on the basketball court sometimes. Need a better way of regulating pickup games.

I joined this location for Body Attack, as it's not regionally popular. The staff is pretty cool and friendly. It is pretty filthy on a Monday evening though, which is difficult to get over. Members can be seen not wiping down equipment and I realise sometimes it's due to lacking paper towels and cleaner than it is lacking consideration. The fees aren't too crazy and I'm usually not on the equipment, so a Monday evening post-weekend, guilt ridden swarming of the place by members that staff can't keep up with, while gross, isn't a deal breaker for me.

I am very disappointed at the cleanliness of this gym. The pool has a very strong smell of chlorine. That's not a good thing. That means poor maintenance and a dirty pool. Moving on to a cleaner facility.

Nice quiet gym. I call this gym the no talking to customers. The late night staff does not talk to you when you sign in so I don't talk to him.

I really like this location, and they have all the equipment necessary, as well as a pool sauna and steam room. The only reason why I'm giving you three stars is because recently it seems like it's extremely busy during a few peak hours, preventing individuals from being able to get the equipment that they need, in a timely fashion. I'm sure over time that they'll work at the availability of equipment, and get this place back up to a five-star level quality. Definitely a great place to go to if you need to work out, and would definitely recommend going during off-peak hours, meaning mid morning, as well as mid afternoon, or super early or super late

I worked out here for a couple years. It's a big and beautiful location. I was sad to move away from it. They offer classes and the square footage of the weight room offers just about everything you'd look for in a gym. I always have a little trouble finding gyms that have an Olympic lifting platform but aren't insanely crowded.

This place is practically my second home, everything is laid out in a way which is easy for new people to navigate different work outs

You are likely to get your car broken into and your purse/bag/gear/stuff stolen. My siblings, my friends, and many acquaintances have all reported having things burgled from their vehicle. There's not really any security, and 24 hour fitness won't reimburse you if something goes bad. Sauna smells like a dead rat died inside a dead rat.

The location is great, and the gym is huge. Plenty of equipment for everyone, even when it's fairly packed. Even if everything is being used, people are generally nice enough to let you work in anyways so it's not a big deal. The water fountains here actually have cold water which is a huge plus. The only downside would have to be how hot it gets, including in the locker rooms. Even after a shower you'll still feel humid and sticky after.

The guy who work there was super cool very informational and help out with some cool stuff other than that the bathrooms were hella messy very disgusting smell really super bad the gym smells very bad it smell like very bad sweat that has not been clean for a long time and most of the people were not using the stuff to wipe down there workout equipment after they worked out and to be honest with you out of how big this place was I only saw 3 of the wipe down stations very spread apart the bottles we're not marked or indicated what type of Sanitation stuff they were using and to be honest with you it look like it was just water and tap water at best that's what it smells like. I don't think I will be coming back here hygiene is a must and I don't want to catch anything.

Great gym, lots of space and relatively well maintained equipment. Watch out for rush times though, this gym can get extremely packed and though there's a lot of parking you might be out of luck at certain times of the day.

It's getting too crowded. That place needs to figure out a way to accommodate their guests without compromising the integrity of what their goal as a business is. The employees there are always grumpy.

Going to be honest, this gym is so heavily packed at almost all hours of the day. I never went extremely early or extremely late, but any normal, general time you would go workout be prepared to wait for free weights, machines, anything. The women's restroom and locker room were ALWAYS ALWAYS dirty. The front desk team were very nice and friendly, however I did have some issues with the childcare workers. The gym does have about any equipment you can imagine using though. So, it just depends on what exactly you're looking for in a gym. I would not recommend this location however.

Needs a bit more cleaning. I feel like the temperature needs to be adjusted in that place as well. Equipment is nice, but staff needs to show people how to use it better with a nicer tone.

Needs a little more cleanliness. I often catch a cold or something from here once a year. But other than that it's pretty good.

Great Gym, I was going to three different 24 hour Fitness locations depending on my workout routine to be able to use the equipment that I needed to enjoy my favorite Machines. This Gym has all my favorites in one location... Totally love this Gym

Great gym, and they keep up with maintenance of the equipment... Can't blame them for people doing ridiculous things on the machines sometimes. Parking is pretty bad in the afternoons, but if you're an early bird and prefer to work out at the crack of dawn you're good for parking. The pool and locker rooms could use a better cleaning more often though.

The Good: It's open 24 hours! Great range of equipment. Lots of classes to choose from. Staff is friendly. Towel service is included in membership. Machines are well maintained.
The Bad: They seriously need to invest in more 2.5 and 5 lb plates. Consider getting rid of 35 lb plates. Missing safety equipment (Few or no clips; I have to provide my own).
The Ugly: This gym is SERIOUSLY oversold and understaffed. I stay away as much as I can during peak hours, but even off peak, finding plates (especially 2.5 and 5lb) requires an expedition through the entire gym that eats into workout time. The dumbells are so scattered around as to be practically unusable, unless you happen to get extremely lucky: I have never once seen them organized and put in place (and the racks aren't properly labeled so even if you want to put them back where they belong, you can't). Used towels are left everywhere. Supplies for wiping down equipment are not available.
In part this is caused by the culture of the gym patrons. No one puts away or wipes down anything when they are done using it. And yeah, it's easy to gripe about young kids expecting their mothers to follow them around. But in large part, the gym itself is setting this tone by failing to have staff constantly going through the gym putting things in their place and picking up. An announcement is made periodically for staff to go through and clean, but I've never seen more than a couple of people actually doing the work (which seems limited to wiping down equipment). The place is a disorganized mess and it's because there simply are too many people trying to work out at any given time and WAY too few staff to look after the place.
I stay here because I can go here at 2AM if I want to. That's the only reason this gym gets 2 stars. If my schedule settles to the point where I can work out during business hours reliably, I'll switch.
Bottom Line: There are places in San Diego which offer much better value for money.

I love it here. I've been to 24 Fitness in Spokane, Sacramento, San Francisco, and San Mateo, all on a membership that I signed up for in 2001, and this one is by far the best. Any complaints comparing this to LA Fitness or Fitness One really need to compare their costs a bit closer. This gym amenities are a real value. If you live and travel on the West Coast, or in my case, relocate as I have, there's no better vaue and convenient locations.

This is a very popular gym. It has really good classes and great equipment. There's also a swimming pool, which is my choice to use for exercise. There are also showers for men and women as well as a family restroom/ shower. The hair dryers, however, are in poor condition so bring your own. I've been asking them since March to fix them!

Great facility with many options for exercise. Amenities include sauna room, steam room, hot tub spa, and 4 lane swimming pool. Also available are full court basket ball, 2 racquetball courts, and large multi use room. There is even child-care for parents!

Nice gym, lots of facilities, lots of equipment, lots of space. However, always very crowded parking lot, always a lot of people working out inside. Motivational, but a bit maddening when you have to wait for equipment.
