24 Hour Fitness

I’ve been going to this location for many years (don’t even want to think about how many lol) and it’s a no frills, no-​nonsense location. For people that like that kind of gym (think «Hanks»), you’ll like it. If you want all the bells and whistles (think «Lifetime») and a sauna after your workout, this is definitely NOT your kind of place. Personally, I want to get in, lift and get out. Not complicated. This place works just fine. They could stand to update some of the equipment but overall, I’m a pretty happy camper.

So I generally, go to the Rice Village location, because it’s big and pretty clean, with lots of equipment. But sometimes, traffic just does not allow for a work-​out right after work. I generally, go later in the night, to avoid the traffic and the crowds at the gym, so you don’t have to wait to get on a machine. Well on this particular night, I needed to get my work out in before dinner. I looked on their website and found this location which wasn’t far from my office. It was away from home, but only about a 10 minute drive away from traffic. The lot is big and has lots of spots, surface lot.
The location itself is tiny, it is an active level, so no bonus pools or basketball courts. But it does have the machines and free weights that you might be looking for a quick fast workout. I think I will be utilizing this location more often as it can be reached during rush hour.

Their prices are kinda expensive, i signed up for 6 months then I froze my membership for 3, i specifically asked if it was going to effect the offer that i got when I first signed up, after reactivating they charged me $ 44 a month i asked to speak to the manger came 3 days in a raw they kept making excuses that she isn’t around come again tmw, so I decided to cancel my membership! the place is not bad but the management kinda is !

Its a small gym compared to the others and the equipment seems pretty outdated. But its the only one in the Spring Branch area and never seems to get too busy either. The staff here is very friendly and always greets you when you come in and leave. I just wish they would upgrade on their equipment.

Typical 24hour. Small walkways and nasty bathrooms that smell like urine. But I’m a lifetime member. Lol

So I decided it was time for me to get some cardio back into my life and made a dash for old reliable 24. I was a member here years ago and never had any issues so I decided to give try again.
Prior to going here I had a long drawn out experience at their competitor. When I walked in the door here Jennifer the manager made the process quick and painless. She showed me around, showed me my options with out giving me some long drawn out chart and spiel. She gave me time to call my husband to ask him about prices etc. and she gave me my space. I didn’t feel pressured or made to feel badly about myself for asking my husband a question that concerns our budget. She was really sweet and funny. Everything is done electronically now, all the paper work, no scany card things (they use finger print scan) and they will even break down your start up fees into 3 payments if you decide to get a different sort of membership that requires an fee.
This is a smaller gym but has all of the equipment. Tons of free weights if that is your thing and a decent size line up of cardio machines. I went in at 6:30 PM and there was a steady flow of people but plenty of machines available to use. The locker room was clean. Zumba was going on when I got there and I could see some of the other members (all ages, shapes and sizes) working up a sweat. This location is closest to where I live but I am going to check out some of the other clubs I use to frequent since I have the all club membership.
Thank you again to Jennifer for making my return to 24 Hour Fitness a pleasant one!

Okay, I have one gripe about this place… it’s not 24 hours.
I frequent this gym because it’s super close and I workout 5 – 7 days a week. Therefore by sheer accessibility this is going to be one of my more frequent check-​ins.
The staff is really friendly and always greets me when I enter and the gym is rarely crowded. Why the 3 stars though? In reality this place really needs to be renovated. The cardio equipment is outdated and of the two rowing machine, only one has been working for the past few weeks. Also, like I mentioned… they’re not 24 hours!
The hours are a bit strange. Monday 5AM-​Friday 10PM they are 24 hours. However what that means is that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday they close at 10PM. On Saturday and Sunday they don’t open until 7AM. I don’t like this. I normally live in Austin and go to the 24 hour in the Hancock center. I’m prone to spontaneous 1AM workouts and I like being about to do so because that’s what I’m paying for: 24 hour access to the facilities.
This place would really benefit from a revamping and replacing all of the old and faulty equipment. The hours are a personal gripe but I feel that it’s a fair point worth bringing up. However because it’s so close, and besides the rowing machine I rarely have to wait to use something, I still feel that it deserves 3 stars.

Love coming here since I moved to the area earlier this year. Friendly staff (and friendly members), great location, clean and all the equipment I need. Only complaint is most users don’t rerack their weights. But that’s people, not the gym’s fault.

This is not the prettiest 24 hour fitness and judging by how the equipment is still using the old color coded covers (I really wish they’d bring them back since it was easy to find what machines do what without reading the tags), it’s probably one of the oldest if not the oldest.
Still, they have a very friendly staff, it’s clean, and if you live in the area, I guess it’s nice. I was only there because I wanted to make a Costco run later and this was in the area.
If you accept it for being a nice gym in an older part of town, then you’ll be happy. If you compare it with a Sport or Super Sport (I’m not welcome in those) location in a Yuppie part of town, then you’ll not like it.

My least favorite. No ac. Too hot and sweaty and a little on the small side. No water pressure and most peeps here don’t speaky much English! It is super convenient though.

Not much to write about here. It’s a small clean gym with minimal equipment, but it does the job. Trying to find parking is not a hassle at all. There is always someone at the front desk to greet you with a warm smile. One of my favorite gyms to go to because it is convenient for me, the hours and location. :)
PS. Inexpensive annual gym membership. :)

It’s nearby. It is not as fancy as the others but i like it because it isn’t crowded. I dont have to wait on machines.

Friendly, plenty of parking, and the yoga class here is good :)
It’s not 24 hours and it’s kind of a smaller gym.

I’m actually a big fan of this gym. I’ve been coming here since the gym on Blalock closed. This gym is great for my needs. There’s never a wait for any benches, the weights are ordered and neat, and the people are courteous. I’m usually in and out without having to waste any time. At other gyms I have to compete for stations.
People here are all business. Don’t expect to see any hotties or obnoxious muscle-​heads.
This place is clean and does not smell. The bathroom was unusually clean and modern.
There are quite a few missing machines and stations. The elliptical trainers are a bit outdated. The heaving lifting area is a bit small and crowded, but it’s an old gym, so what can you do.
