I’ve visited a lot of 24 Hour Fitness locations, and this is a weak link in their chain.They never run the heat in winter, so it freezing. And they simply haven’t replaced the dumbbells as people steal them.

This place is disgusting, I seriously doubt they clean it regularly, paper towels are always out, and staff don't really seem to care about anything other than sitting at the counter on their phone. Also when it comes to people who go it's just as bad, no one reracks their weights, have to go searching around the gym for dumbbells because they are scattered everywhere and people just leave their trash laying around. This is the worst gym I've ever been to.

Too bad it’s a good gym but it’s not open 24 hours and recovery from COVID like a lot of Oakland but I’m happy to go when I can’t go to a super gym like. El Cerrito! I hope it gets better! I have been a member over 20years .Staff is super nice thanks ?

I gave it a second try after almost a year and it’s worse than before. When I walked in with the trial the front desk person was very nice but seen lost.Never offered me a tour or directed me to the locker room. I walked in and the smell of sweaty floors was insane.As you walk to the back to find the locker rooms you can see all the rusted machines and the cardio covered in sweat and tons and tons of dust.Water fountain dirtyYou walk into locker room and see a bunch of broken lockers very very dirty floor tiles and covered in some sort of moldAs I walked into the urinals the stench of urine was so bad and the urinals covered in urine all over and floors pools of urine and rust and mold all overWent to wash my hands and there were two guys butt naked touching themselves and staring at me as I washed my hands. I walked out really quick and had to turn back almost when I was near the exit because I forgot my water bottle on the sink. When I walked in again the two guys were in the same shower so I left to the exit and will never turn back again.There is no supervision of the gym floors as simple as someone going around wiping equipment or maintaining locker rooms like most gyms do. This gym needs to close and needs to be deep cleaned and a better management team needs to take charge.

Feces in the showers and the hot tub!!! On a regular basis!!! Creeps with cams who would follow people into the locker room. (I had to report someone who was harassing me who accused me of harassment. Luckily the hot tub room cams showed that I was the one telling the truth. Then I saw the other literal human piece of ish in the hot tub) Random cleaning ladies who just show up in the shower and changing rooms without being announced. (I didn’t really care about that, but, still awkward.)Terrible terrifying gym. Go there for Halloween if you can’t find a scare house. Only went there because they were the only 24 hour gym in the area and I didn’t have a car. Best part is, they are not open 24 hours. Call it 14-16 hour weak gym for real. Wow. Just wow. I forgot to leave a review. Apologies to anyone who went there before I could leave this…like the feces left in the showers and the hot tub!!! On a regular basis!!! Dang!

This gym is really bad. Like really really bad. Most of the machines are so old that you genuinely cannot use them effectively. The resistance to some machines feels so off that you can’t accurately measure what weight you’re actually lifting, because the machine hasn’t been greased in years or the cables/moving pieces haven’t been replaced in years either. When things break, they stay broken. For months. There are so many missing dumbbells that I could not incorporate dumbbells into my routine at all, because there would be jumps from 30lbs to 40lbs, or 50lbs to 70lbs and I would have no realistic way to progress. The locker room is a nightmare, the toilets smell god awful, the showers are a genuine biohazard, and I’ve seen roaches make this place their home. This place needs entirely new machine equipment, a deep sanitation of every crevice, new shower curtains, a pressure washing of every inch of the bathrooms, showers, steam room, and hot tub, and a healthy dose of bleach to finish it all off. I really have no idea how this place is still standing

I just started here after growing tired of the YMCA's limited hours. It's nice to be able to gym until 10 weekdays and 8 weekends. No pool at this location, but there is one nearby at the other 24 hour if needed.It is a huge gym with a lot of machines. Overall it is a bit shabby and worn but the staff make a good effort keeping things running and somewhat clean.I have tried peak hours and off peak. Even right after work I can always find a machine to use, sometimes one needs to be flexible and use a similar machine until the preferred platform is available. I like the recumbant bikes and on occasion need to use an upright one for 10 mins until one of my favored ones is free. I really like being able to come by on weekends, pretty much anytime, and have the run of the place. Even the heavily trafficed machines and weight benches are often idle. It is a great time to learn new things without a crowd or spectators.I walk or bike here. Folks lock up their bikes inside along the gate by the front desk and it seems to be safe. There is allegedly validated parking in the kaiser parking structure the gym is in, but I have not bothered to figure all that out yet.There is a nice sauna and steam room, whirlpool, and decent showers etc.This gym definitely won't work for uptight folks who need white glove treatment. If you want an affordable place with good hours that does the job I think you have hit the jackpot!

I give it one star because zero stars is not an option. This place is pretty bad. Very dirty, crowded, and most all equipment (especially free weight stuff) is way past it’s useful life and is delapidated. Forget about customer service there. I will say this, kudos to the young dude trying to vacuum the place up a bit, seemed like a total waste of time tho considering everything.

It's no contest, this 24 hour fitness has the DIRTIEST BATHROOM I've ever seen in any gym. EVER. And this is coming from someone who has been working out for 10+ years and travels all over the place. You couldn't pay me to workout at this gym.

I had a membership here and it was ok. It's the kind of gym suburban people who don't bike or take the train go to. I can imagine nobody here eats salads so it's a lot of suv driving folks pumping weights with slight chonk. I remember the tvs were annoying. I stopped and there are better nearby gyms with more airy outdoor areas and community - this has the aura of a strip mall in a red state. It always gets me now when I run my 5k around the lake that there are people driving to This location and running on the treadmill in 70 degree weather. Life is weird

Two stars because the people working out here are good peoplePosting because the odor in the men's room must be unique in all the world. Heavy on the vomit, with undertones of feces, urine, mold. Something is seriously wrong in there. I'm not sure if customer comments will change anything. It's in the hands of the health department at this point24 Fitness: do not write back saying you want to converse with me. Walk in the locker room , take a sniff and a peak. You don't have time to waste responding to Yelp reviews.

This is a very good gym. It has plenty of space and equipment and I found it very clean. Yes, there are some baseboards that can be fixed and the equipment isn’t brand new but that shouldn’t matter when you’re looking for an affordable option for a workout.I think a lot of negative reviews here have boutique gym expectations and that’s not reality for what we are paying. Happy this gym is here to serve Oakland and you should give it a try and not let the 1 star reviews scare you away. Good luck and get that pump.
