24 Hour Fitness Super Sport

This gym is falling apart. The sauna is constantly broken or being fixed. If you ask them why it’s broken they’ll say «It’s not broken.» But it ultimately doesn’t matter – the point is it’s closed and not available for use during regular daytime hours. The headphone jacks on multiple machines aren’t working so you need to wait for the good ones to be available.
They funny thing is that they’re raising our rates. To make improvements? Doesn’t seem like you’re improving anything as it is. How about regularly scheduled maintenance before you have a grocery list of problems with your equipment?
Oh and if you reach out to corporate, they’ll say they are going to call you but then never do.

I stopped by once to work out at this location. Nice sized gym, however; inside is not kept clean and could use better upkeep. In particular the locker room was messy and debris was all over the floor. Parking is free and widely available due to being near a shopping center which is nice.

This gym is fraying at the seams a bit. More than a couple of machines were out of service. It is not as nice as the Cerritos 24 Hour, especially the locker room/​restrooms, but I realize that it has been open for a longer time than the newer clubs in Downey and Cerritos. The staff is polite, but they seem always busy and not as friendly as the staff at Cerritos. Be careful crossing the road from the parking lot to the entrance as people tend to speed by. There is plenty of parking.

Opened two new memberships one two separate occasions. They missed to tell me that they had an annual fee on top of all the initial fees. It’s more bothersome that they aren’t honest from the beginning. I spoke to the representatives and the manager and all they said was sorry for forgetting to mention the annual fee. It’s not the fee I’m upset about, I’m upset that it almost seems like they don’t care and possibly even do it on purpose

Lakewood 24 is my go to gym location. The gym itself is beautiful, but the equipment not so much as it used to be due to wear and tear.
I love the location of the gym. There is so much parking and it’s located near the Lakewood Mall area so you can go walk around in the mall to cool off after a good session.
The staff here is great and all the things you need like towels, paper towels, & equipment for the pool is stoked ready to go.
The only downside is the crowd. I recommend coming in in the morning until 4pm. You could probably get away with 5pm, but I like it when the gym is empty. Beat the evening crowd to make the most of your workout.

Taking advantage of all these equiptments with all that I can! Love Zumba! Gotta try other classes they provide!

I have been going to this gym since 2011. One thing I enjoy the most is attending group exercises. My personal favorite is their Zumba classes under Josephine Villena who is by far the most fun, energetic, personable instructress I have encountered. No dull moments in her class, everyone enjoys her style, music, grace and personality.

Beautiful gym but, they’re letting it go to hell. There’s equipment that’s been broken for over a week and a half.
There’s. No excuse for machines not to be in working conditions and even dangerous for loose cables to be dangling. Someone could get hurt.
The leg extension machine hasn’t been working and ½ disassembled for over a week and the cable pulldown machines two of them have been broken for almost 2 weeks.
The sinks in the women’s bathroom have been flooded for over a week at a time a couple of times.
There’s foot prints on the walls and dust on some of the décor that’s been there forever.
Can’t believe such a beautiful gym is being ran so poorly.
In addition to that, you’re lacking leg curl machines. I’m talking to other members of the club they all feel the same way

My critique;
Gyms are nice but Cerritos feels small and crowded and parking is a issue. People like to use sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi then jump in pool without showering to cool off. Probably explains the level of chlorine in pool. People wearing socks and shoes in sauna and steam room, leaves a lovely odor of feet. Even though posted not to people don’t seem to care. Cerritos seems to do a better job of cleaning than Lakewood I noticed, especially the showers. Overall depending on time you go, I am able to do complete workout which I was unable at other gyms. For the price and the fact there are 3 sports within 15 minutes of my home I think it’s not bad.

While the Lakewood 24 Hour Fitness is leaps and bounds ahead of its counterparts located in LA proper, there’s still noticeable room for improvement:

+ Unlike many of the 24 locations in LA (especially on the Westside, unsurprisingly) this 24 is adjacent to a massive parking lot, and you don’t have to pay to park your vehicle. It’s a refreshing break from the 24 locations that I frequent more often — where I’m forced to condense a workout into somewhere between 1.5 & 2 hours.
+ I appreciate how the Lakewood 24 has both a decent variety and relatively large selection of machines and workout equipment. I almost never find myself having to wait for a machine.
My only suggestion as far as the selection of equipment is concerned would be to recommend the addition of another leg press machine. It’s one of those machines that you really can’t share/“work in” with others in an efficient way, and that sometimes leads to lengthy wait times. Given, not many gyms that I’ve been to have more than one leg press, but this IS a supposedly more premium, «Super Sport» facility — and it’s abundantly clear that the gym has more than enough room to accomodate another leg press machine.
+ This 24 also does a noticeably consistent job of keeping both workout & pool towels well stocked and easily available at its front desk. Efficiency & convenience seems to be the name of the game here.

— Unfortunately, this 24 suffers from the same plague that all 24 Hour Fitness locations seem to suffer from — a lack of consistent upkeep. The paper towel dispensers located throughout the facility are almost always empty, and I’m legitimately wondering if «refrain from filling dispensers unless members complain» is part of 24’s company policy.
This same issue plagues the smaller 24 Hour Fitness Express in Santa Monica, and I don’t think that it’s unrealistic to think that a staff member could do an hourly or bi-​hourly walkthrough to check the status of various supplies & refill them as needed.
— Also, this 24 is beginning to show its age a bit. It was a squeaky-​clean facility when I first began working out here a few years ago, but I’ve now noticed a couple indications as to how the building’s overall quality has somewhat lessened.
For one thing, machines here don’t break down often — but when they do, they seem to be out-​of-​order for many weeks at a time. I understand that available technicians & their time are limited, but the response time could be trimmed down.
— Also, the lone water bottle refill faucet (located at one of the water fountains on the first floor) was broken off — as in ripped out of the fountain completely. Was some meathead simply having a bad day, and in a roided-​out fit of rage, decided to take his emotions out on a poor faucet? Is this really what our society has come to?

So the main reason I’m giving this facility 4-​stars is because they have HOT HULA! Mariza is AMAZEBALLS. She such a fabulous energy about her.
Facility: some newer cardio equipment than some of the other super sports;
GroupX room is sooo grimey dirty. Is it every cleaned? Why isn’t there a sweeper left in the room so the floor can get a quick sweep btwn classes. Sauna & steam room are questionably sanitary.
Personnel: fairly friendly & courteous

Place is getting run down pretty quickly. Broken machines here and there, taking awhile to get fixed. Drinking fountains are not clean and/​or are broken.
The crowd is good and the staff are friendly so that’s a plus for them.

I used to come to this 24 religiously all the way from Belmont Heights. The gym itself its not bad. It has newish equipment and never really had problem with the weights. The location is big, very open and lots of equitment. First floor has all the weights and second floor has cardio machines and a studio.
However, the problem with this gym is the crowd. When I used to come here, which would usually be after rush hour (after 8), I would ALWAYS find the free weights and plates on the floor. It seriously would look like an earthquake just happened. I’m always someone who puts weights back where they belong as a courtesy to the next person who is going to use them, but for some reason most of the people that come here do not care at all. I would always have to browse the gym floor for a good 2 – 5 minutes trying to find the weights I needed.
Good location, awful manners by a lot of the people that come here. If this 24 is really your only choice try to come before rush hour.

So Kevin V. is like Mr. Philipino Olympia and he told me to come workout with him so I was like «Cool! Time to get my buff on!» Went Sunday at around 09:00 am. There were alot of people working out but it didn’t really feel packed… I like the 3 story high ceiling in the main workout floor as gives it a nice open feeling. For you ladies out there this is the spot to meet your future husband as it is all guys working out on the weights… just put your lil’ mantrap outfit on and come on down and get you a man! Haha
If I forgot to say so, parking was actually suprisingly good even given the amount of people… that alone made me want to give it a high rating.
Place is clean and new. We worked out for 3 hrs or so… mainly because I didn’t want to look like a punk, but honestly I was good after like 45 minutes. There is a big selection of weights and machines. Anything you want really. Also a racquetball court on the main floor.
The second floor is where are the bikes, steppers, and treadmills are. They are the super cool ones with TV screens built into each machine… which is awesome cuz I could watch the Steelers game while working out.

I practically live here. This gym is my second home!
I do really enjoy coming here because it’s one of the larger Super Sports in the area. I also like that I get a towel when you walk in. There are the few times I have come though and they are out of towels. That sucks when it happens because even though I’m a girl, I sweat profusely when I work out!
Only issue is that because it is the only Super Sport nearby, EVERYONE comes here! It gets soooo crowded during peak times. Like I’m talking IMPOSSIBLE to get the machine you want unless you vulturize (stalk the machine til the person on it leaves and then immediately get on it/​use it and the seat is still warm –_​_​-​)
The people are pretty friendly… and not too many weirdos/​creeps but that’s pretty inevtiable at a gym. I seriously can’t wait until the Cerritos and Downey locations open up next month since both are actually closer to me than this Lakewood location. YAY! #Gainz ;P

I love coming to this gym it provides everything we need to have a great workout. Lately the cleanness of this place is disgusting and we pay a membership to get a clean service. The bathrooms are disgusting clogged toilets, hair all over the place. No door on shower another still had no shower head, this place is very unsanitary and disgusting.

This facility has been opened for three years as of August 2015. However, the condition of the equipment would suggest otherwise. The Lakewood facility is deteriorating at rapid speed and the management team can’t seem to keep up with the descent.
Although this facility is my home gym, I prefer to drive an extra 5 minutes and go down to the Long Beach Super Sport on Bellflower Blvd & Spring Street instead.
It is less crowded at Long Beach. They also have some equipment that Lakewood does not, such as the TRX suspension setup with an additional four squat racks, on top of their three squat racks in far corner of the gym – a total of seven, compared to Lakewood’s four.
If it’s any consolation, the location is convenient. I have to give it to them here. This branch is across from Costco, which is adjacent to the mall, although I particularly wouldn’t recommend venturing into the Lakewood Mall. It’s like a circus in there. Alternatively, if you hold a Costco membership, you can get in some cardio, walk to the warehouse, pick up some samples and head back to the gym for round 2, or simply go home with a month’s supply of toilet paper.

Terrible experience today with one of the membership salesman (Kris Belman). Took a friend in to get a 3-​day pass because he wanted to check out the gym & Kris was extremely pushy towards my friend to give him other people’s phone numbers to «get them a pass» but he wouldn’t call them on their number, which made no sense.
When he tried to give a tour, we notified him that my friend had no interest in getting a membership there at the moment, but would consider it. He gave us attitude and said, «well you’re taking away from my job if I don’t do this» and we told him we didn’t want to waste his time when I could just show my friend around. After that encounter, he definitely won’t be going back to use his 3-​day pass or get a membership. He then said that we SHOULD give him a phone number to other people for wasting his time and not «letting him do his job» which was extremely rude and unnecessary. I’m a regular at that gym and have never dealt with anyone so unprofessional.

It’s pricey for sure. But it’s spacious and bright, I like the atmosphere. And I like the towel service and the hair dryer in women’s room.
And the group exercise instructor Dara is simply awesome. I’ve been to her class for years, she’s always motivating and make every hour count! Its morning class schedule is great. If it can be 7 or 7:30 am, it’ll be even better so that I can do it before work.

Thank you Mayweather /​Pacquiao fight, I was able to come into this massive gym to workout with my man before the fight started. Go online and sign up for a 3-​day pass. It’ll be emailed to you. Show the pass at the front desk and they’ll ask you to fill out some info on the computer. Then a rep will meet with you, show you around and send you off to explore the gym.
This is what a super sport gym looks like, huh? It’s spacious, plenty of equipments, full basketball court, fitness studio, and spin class room. Only thing I didn’t see was a lap pool, but then again, I didn’t explore the entire gym. This gym lends you towels. The regular 24 hours I used to member did not.
This place is very clean and well lite. Perhaps it was because of the «Fight of the Century» happening, but there weren’t that many people at the gym. Which made my experience good, but I hear from the man it gets really crowded.
Get your work on!
