    Kat T.

    YMCA hmmmmm good and bad reviews. I took my daughter her for her swim lessons and I request a female. But 2 of her lessons were with a male. In which they did NOT tell me ahead of time. Just to give me info and if I would rather change the lesson day to another. The swim teachers are great. I really like one her name was Evadai (sp?). She was patient with my daughter from where I could see. And my lil girl just wants to play. The director Norberto well good and not so good. Great he fixed a few problems with the lessons but not good in calling the customers in change of instructors. OH well it is what it is.. I personally would recommend the YMCA for swimming it's actually not bad at the end. Just a little adjustment with the schedules of instructors. I would have Evadai/Emily to train your kid/kids. Now my little girl can swim and not be afraid.

    Example of the brokenness.

    Vending machines never work, Apple Pay and the 3rd Party app the vending machine wants you to preload money (kind of shady to me instead of straight Apple Pay). I have had the Monyx app charge me for something that was sold out and last week the Gatorade I was able to buy was frozen solid. Love coming to work out during COVID with a three month kiddo at home with unmasked preteens kids just running around unsupervised and also not being able to buy a drink. Cancel your contract with the vendor, Anacapa Vending, because they are not providing the service they say they are. I included a picture of the one in the basement. The one on the second floor failed five times in a row with both Apple Pay and the Monyx app with four bars of 5G cell service (basement only gets 1 bar of cell device and the Wi-Fi is awful).

    Excellent gym in the Glendale are. My only wish is that they had a hot tub and sauna, but that's my only issue.

    I have been a member of this gym for about a little over 6 months, so here is my honest review…read more I since I joined Equinox, I have been working with a personal trainer, Diana, who is amazing and is helping me reach my fitness goals. Prior to joining this gym I had gained about 20lbs from life... Diana is throughly helping me with my weight loss journey. I have never felt better in my body as I do now. I am stronger and the food noise has diminished. Not only has she coached on weightlifting/ strength training but has also coached me on my diet. Lastly, I look forward to every session I have booked with Diana, she makes a special tailored program for my needs / goals and is flexible / adaptable with scheduling. Front Desk/ locker room I am always greeted with a smile from the front desk personnel. The bathroom / locker room is always tidy. The bonus for me is that they provide parking validation for the parking structure. I am always able to find a parking spot get in and out without a hiccup. The one critique I have for Equinox is that I wish they were open a little later on the weekend.

    I've been a member here for about two years. This was the first gym I ever joined (prior to this, I…read morehad only done group fitness). Joining Equinox and getting support from my terrific trainers (first Talar, and now Hank) really changed my experience of fitness, my body, and my life. I am now a personal trainer evangelist, and have convinced my partner and others to get training. As for this facility, I find it to be convenient, clean, and very rarely crowded. I almost never have to wait on any particular equipment. The few classes I have taken here (mostly yoga) have been a nice change of pace as well. And, as I mentioned, the training has been a game changer. It's not cheap, but I think the quality of the facilities and service is excellent (and I'm fortunate to get a discount through my work!).

It can get a little crowded during peak hours, but it's still a solid place to work out. Sometimes they run out of paper towels, but the staff will usually bring more right away when asked. I've been training with Coach Yhanni for the past few months, and it has been a great experience. He's very knowledgeable and always makes sure my form is correct to help prevent injuries. The workouts are challenging but enjoyable, and he keeps me motivated to push myself especially during that last minute when it gets tough. I highly recommend 24 Hour Fitness and also Coach Yhanni to anyone looking for a supportive and professional personal trainer who will push you to reach your goals. Angela

The men's restroom is absolutely disgusting , smells musty, and most of the urinals are out of service. The toilets are often clogged and it's honestly pretty unpleasant to use. But it's not just the restroom the gym floor itself is also very dirty and doesn't look like it's being properly maintained. It feels like the staff aren't keeping up with the mess throughout the facility. I even mentioned it to the lady at the front desk and she told me there was a crew actively working on it. However, after checking around, there was no one actually working on the restrooms or cleaning anything. For a gym that so many people pay for, basic cleanliness and maintenance should be a priority. This was honestly one of the worst experiences I've had at a gym, and I really hope management starts taking the condition of this location more seriously.

He is extremely charismatic, says he's not a trainer, but he's very knowledgeable and took the time to explain which machines target which muscles. Better than every gym I've been too. Not crowded and enjoyable to be in.

    Overall a decent gym, it's fairly maintained, and the staff is friendly…read more The waiting lines are of intermediate terribleness. Most of the time it's ok, however some machines they clearly need more of. For example, the row machine (they have only one of) and pec fly machine (they have two). These you can almost guarantee that there will be a line. Cables. Lines are manageable but there is a bigger issue. Half the time there are literally no attachments. At times there will be say two triceps ropes and a single bar between the 6 cables to share. So, not only not enough variety of attachments (which is also true), but at times literally not enough to even have any kind of attachment on all the cables. I don't know if people take them to the private training area (which is not accessible to normies) or whatever they do with it, but it's very common at this gym and a deal breaker issue, I'd say. Sauna - insanely nasty. Horrible. Feels very unsanitary. I used it twice and both times my freshly washed towel, that I used there to sit on, caught this horrible stink of probably hundreds of peoples' sweats soaked in the wood of the sauna benches. I would've probably caught hepatitis A through Z had I not used the towel (half-joking). Still on the subject of sauna - not necessarily exclusive to this gym, but most people don't know sauna etiquette. They go in, wearing their sweaty shoes and clothes and do freaking sit ups and other crap in there, resulting in all of us sitting in heat and breathing in their stinky body and unwashed sweaty clothes evaporates. To those people, learn some manners and look up sauna etiquette before using it next time, that is nasty and you are just being an a**hole, with all due respect. That is not good for you or anyone around you. To the gym management - maybe print out sauna etiquettes and post them in a few places where sauna users can see? Have rules of use, just like you do for everything else? Overall, not ideal, but compared to some other gyms within walking distance it is at least usable.

    April 25, 2024 Providing an update to my previous review…read more In the six months that have elapsed, I had forgotten that the staff person who eventually helped me cancel my membership had assured me that he would refund me for the month of November as I had not been in the gym for some time. I appreciated the gesture but was not too confident that he would take care of it. Well, after being notified this week of another Yelp user's reaction to my review, I recalled that promise to refund my monthly charge from November'23. I decided to call the site and amazingly the person who picked up the phone was perfectly polite and professional. In fact, after just a few seconds I realized that I recalled her (from her unforgettable and distinct voice) as the original person who toured with me when I initially started at the gym. She was great, within five minutes I had received a call back from her exactly as she promised and informed me that the refund would be processed within a few days. Today I received confirmation that yes, she and Anytime (ABC) had refunded my credit card. I can't imagine why it took the business owner months to reply to my initial Yelp review, but I can truly say that I hope he sees the extraordinary way that one customer service representative can impact a client's views. The person who helped (and toured) me is STEPHANIE - please appreciate that gem that you have there. She made all the difference and because of her quality handling of my account, I am open to rejoining once I return to Glendale later this year.

    It's great to have one here in Glendale. I got my membership at Lake Havasu in Arizona and have…read morebeen going there for gym workouts since I lived there, frequently using other locations as well, like the Palm Desert spot, which is a great location. This one was nice; enjoyed the free parking and all the amenities all the other ones have, like showers, but it is not top tier. Machines are broken; some have signs that don't work. There's also a lack of other machines that are more obvious in other locations; it seems like they only carry the basic machines, which is fine if you want a simple workout, but there's very little variety here. The palm desert location is small as well but has more variety than this one. I do like the privacy, though; it is not as crazy or chaotic as other gyms. Coming in at 9 pm on a Tuesday was great; there were only about 4 other people here, which I loved. The other well known gyms are busy and filled with chaotic, judgmental people. In this one, everyone was just there for a workout. Small gyms and higher price points do tend to keep all the $10 membership people away, which makes a big difference in gyms. So far in my return back to LA, I am in search of a great Anytime Fitness location, and there are others in the San Fernando Valley I need to check out. I may come here once in a while, but I do need to see what else is out there. I just feel like something is missing here.
