I joined when I was taking a class in the city for a month and personally, I loved it. The guys working the front desk were friendly and not intimidatingly muscled or anything. What this gym lacks in "atmosphere" is a plus in my opinion. I don't need an overly-hyped up, perky fitness gym filled with annoying stay at home mothers and snotty trainers giving me attitude because I don't shell out $100 an hour to be shown how to lift weights. I've always found members here to be respectful and industrious, unlike the aforementioned women who sit around and chat around the equipment. This is a place for the seriously fitness minded. As a college-age girl, I liked that I wasn't given attitude from primarily male weightlifters for entering their "turf". There's enough space that I could always find both cardio and weight machines without a wait. This stuff may not be the newest looking, but honestly it all works just fine. All machines break down on occasion, but there were enough here that I was never majorly inconvenienced. Included in my membership were fitness classes. I went to a yoga class and had a fantastic instructor, who really clarified a lot and helped me do poses with less discomfort. I appreciate any place that can hire so many thoughtful, competent, helpful employees, especially in a gym where they often have a holier-than-thou attitude if you have any body fat. The class studio was small, but it's the city and they obviously know where to budget space efficiently. I never found the locker rooms to be dirty, but maybe that's because I used to swim at the YMCA. If you're looking for a nice place with a good range of cardio and weight equipment, a decent class schedule, friendly employees, and great prices, you've found the right place. If you want a status symbol gym with a thousand extra services and features you probably won't use, pay the extra money for Crunch or Equinox.

I've been a member at 24-7 for years and I haven't used the shower once. It's because it looks pretty dirty. This isn't surprising as the rest of the gym is as well. It's essentially one of those muscle head gyms people either love or hate. Despite the grime, it's functional and well equipped. Everything is in relatively good shape as well. On top of that, it may be the cheapest gym in the city (when I recently resigned, I think I paid 399 for the year) and is open 24 hours. The biggest drawback is the thumping dance music that they constantly play. The second biggest drawback is the members are mostly big men (I'm 185 lbs, but I'd say I'm one of the smaller guys around). This is a drawback because big guys start showing off for each other (being loud, dancing, puffing up) when there's a scarcity of women... I'm unimpressed, big fella.... I just want to train.

reading some of the above reviews, those guys clearly belong at David Barton or the NYSC (New York S#x Club.) If you want action in the steamroom this is not the place for you. In fact there is no steam room. 24/7 is clean, but no frills. the showers are cheap home depot doors, but for $40 bucks a month what do you expect in manhattan? It is a bargain. The members are polite, and the staff is helpful.
