User Reviews for 24-7 Fitness Club

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.
Pros: Cheap; functional; open 24-7
Cons: Loud stupid music; loud stupid members

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.

You get even less than you pay for: smells like cat pisss; rusty 1960s equipment is usually broken; the building is falling apart; not a safe place to workout; 1/2 the members are nut jobs; there is a homeless guy who sleeps in the stretching area...
Pros: hours
Cons: everything else

It's great to see people lifting heavy, doing cleans, dead lifts, squats, etc. I loved lifting here. The locker room and showering facility are hardly clean. It holds your clothes, and gets you wet which may or may not be important to you. It made no difference to me. Unfortunately, I entered a contract with an untrustworthy company. I was told I could transfer it once I moved, but was misinformed. I found several people who were willing to take over my contract, and the 24-7 said this was fine at the cost of the initiation fee, but for some reason the gym changed their mind. Then, the staff gave me the run around, and I was even told that the contract had been successfully cancelled, only to find this to be false after looking at my credit card statement. I continued to attempt a cancellation, with no success. I called the manager who suddenly got busy and promised to call back. After several phone calls, at different times of the day, I have still never heard from her. I cannot recommend a company which treats its customers so poorly, unless you can only train at night or truly cannot afford to go anywhere else. Whether you choose this place or not, best of luck to you.
Pros: 24-7, perfect if you can't afford anything good
Cons: name it.

This gym is not about posers, skinny bitches and schwarzennegger wannabees. It's a serious facility for the working boy or girl to condition and strengthen their body. It's got clean bathrooms, soap and shampoo in the showers. Huge fresh towels daily, and free classes! There's never a wait for the equipment either, 'cos they've got so much of everything. All this for $30 a month. Suhweet!!!
Pros: Nice staff, clean facilities, cheap price
Cons: They don't have one in brooklyn

This is a great gym for people who are on a budget and want a decent workout. There are ten treadmills, tons of machines and free weights so you never have to wait. This is a great basic gym for weight lifting on two big floors 10,000 sq ft. Free classes in aerobics, yoga boxing, definition and strength core training and self defense included in membership. Open 24 hours and a 14th street between fifth and sixth avenue location.
