    Hair on the wall.

    If I could give this place a negative star rating I would. I went in for an interview, and I was not greeted by the owner who was nonstop on the phone. I went to go change my clothes for the swim portion of the interview and there was a giant clump of hair on the already gross bathroom/changing area. The building itself was dingy and depressing but the bathroom really just set it off. I finished getting dressed and still the owner was on the phone and I sat there waiting for about 10 minutes until she finally handed me off to who she called a manager. She said I would be in the water for an hour, first half would be shadowing and second half I would taking over. Okay standard. I go in the water with the manager with a kid and suddenly another kid was brought to us by a guy not in uniform who we were told doesn't usually come but he was friends with the student. So now, the manager is teaching the class that I can't watch because I have to protect this other random kid who was allowed in the water for some reason. 30 minutes in and I'm expecting for us to swap kids. Nope, all hell breaks loose when they realize the kid swimming is over booked. The manager I'm with has another different student to teach, another employee walks out and they try to pawn the overbooked kid to her, she has another class and can't so they find a third person to take the overbooked student and everyone disperses. I'm still holding this random kid who is now screaming. Suddenly this kids grandma shows up, she was randomly swimming in the pool too, and she tells me she wants me to keep the kid in the water. Unfortunately ma'am I don't work here, your grandson was just left in my care? I am a stranger. Speaking of strangers, there were so many random adults walking around this place and not enough kids for them to be there for a reason. Maybe for the gym portion of the building but then they should be in the gym? I give the boy to his grandma (not sure if it was his grandma or a random old lady) and hop out the water. I stand at the desk waiting for the owner and still she is on the phone, I say whatever and grab my stuff and change. I come out. Still on the phone. Another employee comes up to me and introduces herself, she asks me if I will be joining the team I tell her no, and explain that legally I didn't feel like I should have been left with someone's kid who doesn't swim here and to me that seemed extremely dangerous. She agreed. We went back and forth a bit and she ended up telling me that she was hired for a higher position but once she was onboarded they switched it on her and she was not given the position. I told her that that seemed to check out. Mind you, the owner was no more than a foot away from us still on the phone and did not regard me at all. Even tho I'm out of the water 30 minutes early, me personally, I would assume there was something wrong and would give the potential employee my attention but no. I stood there for a while longer to the point where I asked the lady who had approached me to let the owner know that I would not be returning. There is no real supervision, your kids will never learn how to swim because there is no real curriculum and if there is, the manager who was supposed to be training me did not use it and the place is filthy with randoms all around who are allowed into the building/pool etc without any regulation so by default VERY dangerous for kids. If I wasn't there god knows what would have happened to the secondary kid when everyone just left me with him. I don't think anyone knew his grandma was there and no one cared that they were leaving me with him.

My only suggestion would be a little more frequent housekeeping throughout the day, especially in the Black Card Spa on/around the beds, plus regular sanitizing rounds on the gym equipment. The team usually seems well staffed, so a few extra cleaning laps during slower moments would take this place from great to excellent. Restrooms are decent, parking is rarely a headache, and the clientele is generally respectful and well-behaved. Overall, it's a comfortable, easygoing gym without a lot of nonsense -- which is exactly what I want when I'm voluntarily suffering through my workout!

I've also seen other people wearing similar shoes, so I was honestly pretty surprised. What bothered me most was how it was handled. When I checked in, the employee who later kicked me out was just chatting with the manager and didn't say anything about my shoes. I got settled and started my workout, and only then was I told I had to leave. If there was an issue with my shoes, it could've easily been addressed when I first came in. I also don't understand why I wasn't just given a warning, especially since I've seen warnings given for things like this before for the bag policy. After going here for years, I expected better :/ Won't be going back. Glad I already canceled my membership, but it still sucks I didn't get to finish my last workout.

This past Saturday I asked the front desk clerk to fix/turn on the HVAC temperature and the ceiling fans, that were mostly broken, and the clerk said they were in the process of getting a new vendor to replace the ceiling fans. I don't understand why they haven't replaced them. They should have replaced them before the summer hot temperatures arrived. This is insane!

    I've been a loyal member of 24 Hour Fitness for nearly 20 years. My main issue is that 24 hours…read morefitness is not open 24 hours. It does not make any sense. The facility no longer reflects the standards implied by its name or reputation. Basic maintenance issues, such as broken drinking fountains, go unresolved for weeks or even months. The televisions are consistently set to fox news on every tv with no variety, despite repeated feedback. Additionally, essential equipment in the weight room, such as clips for securing weights, has been missing for over six to seven months without replacement. What's equally concerning is the atmosphere. Staff members often appear disengaged or frustrated, which contributes to an unwelcoming environment. After bringing these issues up multiple times with little to no improvement, it feels like member concerns are not being taken seriously. After two decades of membership, I expect a facility that is clean, functional, and responsive to feedback. Unfortunately, that has not been my experience, me, my husband and two kids have decided to part ways, They currently took the $59 dollar fee for next year and won't give me my refund.
