The staff is kind for the most part, and it feels communal at certain times of the day. There are many regulars that say hello to each other, and the staff recognizes us. The people who help maintain the cleanliness of the locker rooms and whatnot are the kindest people.They always say hello and greet you with a smile. I appreciate that! Nightmare hours are morning and after work. I get frustrated with the people who sit on machines and scroll on their phones, and they are everywhere. I take 1 star off for that.

If you do look at joining, make a point to note all the (not) "scheduled for maintenance" tags on equipment, esp. the stairmasters. It is crazy stuffy inside with no AC, and half the lights are off, so it's dingy. Promised facilities have been taken away- no more basketball court; pool use limited with classes. Overall I get the sense they are cutting corners on costs. I now go to the Sunnyvale location whenever possible instead.

Advocating for Chair Yoga Class for Our Older Seniors…read more Hi everyone, I am writing on behalf of our older citizens at 24 Hours, Mountain View. 24 Hours, Mountain View is a very good gym and very accommodating, especially to our seniors. That is why it is very high on my excellent gym list. I respect their corporate office as well. Within the past few months, they have added new senior fit classes. They even bought more chairs for these classes. Thank you! One important class remains to be added to the list though. It is Chair Yoga. All the older seniors that talked to me are interested in this type of Yoga class because they said the other Senior Yoga class is too advanced for them. I know that Tommy De Leon, the General Manager, is trying his best to balance the demands for more classes from clients with the approvals of the classes from corporate. So far, he has been doing a great job. Already, I have talked with one of the Yoga instructors who comes to substitute in Mountain View. Her name is Naz. She is willing to teach the Chair Yoga class. She also told me that she had taught Chair Yoga here in 24 Hours, Mountain View, before the COVID pandemic. In the meantime, I have checked the class schedule for available time spots in the morning. They are Mondays (10:30 -11:30 am) and Sundays (11:30 am - 12:30 pm). Naz, however, has confirmed that she could teach the Chair Yoga class only on Fridays (1:00 -2:00 pm), which is a very good time for our older seniors. 24 Hours, Mountain View, is already helping our seniors in their fitness journey to age gracefully. Please, continue to help them with compassion by adding this important class for them. Therefore, any senior who is interested in this Chair Yoga class should add their comments to this review so that the management and corporate can see the demands for the Chair Yoga class. Thank you!

I booked the complimentary 1:1 Pilates intro just thinking it would be a nice add on and even told a friend I wasn't planning to continue after. That completely changed after my session with Joan McCarthy. I'm so glad I happened to be paired with her for that complimentary session. She is truly exceptional. I ended up buying a large pack of sessions right after and now see her twice a week. We've even done a few double sessions which have been amazing. I'm already seeing real progress in my strength, flexibility, and overall toning, and the principles she teaches have helped me get so much more out of my Solidcore and other group workouts. What really stands out is her energy and approach. She has such a positive and motivating attitude, and she really pushes me to challenge myself, find my limits, and get the most out of every session. I've also learned so much more about fitness and overall health from working with her. She combines deep Pilates expertise with a dance background, and her hands on adjustments are amazing. She also sends an in depth breakdown after each session of what we worked on and is very responsive, which makes everything feel thoughtful and personalized. I'll be honest I waited to write this because I wanted to lock in my recurring time slots first, which probably says everything. I'm fully obsessed. Thank you Joan!

Equinox Palo Alto has a great selection of treadmills and equipment plenty of options, so you're…read morerarely waiting around for a machine. That said, the Life Fitness treadmills are older and out of date compared to other less expensive Equinox clubs like Santa Monica, South Bay, and Newport Beach. Probably the least "premium" part of this location is the men's locker room and bathrooms. They're consistently humid, cramped, and not as clean as you'd expect from an Equinox. For a premium membership price, the facilities should be held to a higher standard. Good gym for getting a workout in, but the locker room experience drags down what could otherwise be a great club.

If physical health, efficiency, and accountability are a priority for you, then you should consider…read moresigning up at Fit Theory. I'm a pretty sedentary person and peeling me off the couch after a long day at work is nearly impossible. Fit Theory helps keep me more active than I would be, gets me in and out in 30 minutes, and keeps me on a consistent schedule. Regular gyms are often packed, no one cleans after themselves, and stuffy, but Fit Theory takes care of that my running multiple 1-on-1 sessions simultaneously so you aren't waiting on other people, prioritizes cleanliness, and has multiple air purifiers. It's a more pleasant atmosphere. What I like about Fit Theory is the convenient location on El Camino between the intersection of Mountain View, Los Altos, and Palo Alto. Since its in a central location, you can come in from work and then run errands right after. The property is large and has plenty of parking in the back. Signing up for classes is easy and flexible with an online app. Classes are individually tailored, but capped at 4-5 people per time slot. Everyone is really friendly and supportive. The 4-5 person cap per half hour time slot means that you save time by not having to wait for machines like you would at a gym for equipment that might not have been cleaned. You save a lot of time by getting access to the equipment you want and when you want it.

I joined FunLife in November 2024, and it's been a great experience! Their workouts remind me of…read moreCrossFit WODs, but it's not exactly like CrossFit because I think they slow things down to focus on good form, and the coach-to-athlete ratio is smaller. Each day of the week has a different focus--upper body, lower body, conditioning, Olympic lifting--and they rotate the workout cycle every 6 weeks. This allows for progressive overload, and just when I think I've mastered the form, the program changes and keeps things fresh. Due to my main sport, I have an irregular schedule, so I appreciate that they offer a variety of flexible membership plans. A major perk is being assigned a personal coach who checks in with you weekly for the first 12 weeks and then once a month thereafter on paper. In reality, I see my coach Carina more often than that from attending sessions where she is coaching, and when I go to open gym. Carina has been incredibly helpful in supporting my specific fitness goals for my sport--crewing in dinghy team racing and working bow in big boat sailing. She created a custom workout plan (which she updates every few weeks) that incorporates the exact movements I need, like pulling ropes at specific angles--something I haven't been able to find anywhere else. She also helps me address any random soreness from other activities with targeted stretches and mobility work. The gym also has an InBody machine that you can use anytime to track your progress. I've seen a measurable decrease in body fat and an increase in muscle mass, which is very validating. This review might make it sound like I'm really into working out, but my natural state is being a potato. What gives me the extra push to haul my butt to the gym is worrying that the dogs Koa, Koda, Kona, and Loki will forget what I smell like if I skip a week. (Those are the regulars I see, maybe there are more fur angels?!) They're all super sweet and provide much-needed dog therapy. And if you're not into dogs, don't worry--they're well-behaved and won't bother you. I think I need a conclusion paragraph. Basically, I have found that FunLife is a good investment in my physical and mental health (yay dogs!) because of the flexible membership plans, variety of sessions, coaching, and other nice-to-haves like open gym sessions and the InBody scanner. Highly recommend!

Despite signs everywhere in the gym stating "no phone calls," one staff member was on a call for over an hour today (owner, you are welcome to verify this on camera). She was constantly giggling, and it was loud and distracting. I approached her and mentioned the no phone call policy, to which she responded that it was an important family call (However, she was also browsing and shopping for yoga pants during the call) When I asked her to please consider taking the call outside, she stared at her laptop screen and ignored me and did not apologize during the entire conversation. It was unpleasant and rude. This type of interaction leaves a bad impression and should not be the standard at this gym. I highly suggest the owner train the staff on basic manners!
