My daughter joined this gym first. Then my sister and I joined shortly after. I wished we never did and can't wait for my membership to be done. I honestly don't know what is worse their fat shaming or their homophobia. My sister paid extra for the "burn class." She went for the initial consult and the trainer ignored her and never did the fit test. My sister suffers from Lupus, she's overweight, and she had a hip replacement about ten years ago. She really needs to have her exercise modified which we were told the trainer could do. The trainer was too busy socializing. Then trainer was in a car accident and was no longer teaching the class. The gym refused to give my sister a refund. There is nothing like paying 150.00 to be fat shamed and ignored. This place also offers a free health assessment. What they don't tell you is this is there way of trying to sell you a personal trainer. I went for one and explained that I have MS. Well after a nice dose of fat shaming for me. The personal trainers suggested weight lifting to burn more calories. I made it clear that weight loss wasn't my main goal. I was trying to maintain my strength and MS makes me drop stuff. I really don't think lifting weights is a good idea. And being 20pds overweight is not obese! As for the homophobia, my daughter's friend, who signed all us up is no longer there. Why you wonder? Because he is gay. He was attacked by a co worker at the gym and then was suspended for being attacked. I'm disgusted by the entire situation. I hate the fact that my money is going to a business that allows homophobia. They should be ashamed! Ultimately, if you have any health issues, you are more than 20 pds overweight, or are gay or support gay people this is not the gym for you.

It's a fairly decent gym. I don't really have any major complaints or problems. They have all the equipment for a gym including free weights. The bounce balls should be filled more with air to make them a little bit more firmer. I just think the place looks a little run down though. It's not too "new" looking, but that's all I really have to "complain" about, if that. The person at the desk always acknowledges you with a friendly and sincere welcome. I haven't, though, been to any of their classes, like zumba, or had any of their personal trainers. I go there strictly to use the equipment and have been satisfied. :)) Keep up the good work folks!!

Easily the worst gym in Meriden and maybe CT. There is absolutely no maintenance, half the cardio machines are out of order, the place smells like they mop with sweat water if they actually mopped, and almost all employees are either surfing the Web or on their phones. Edge and Planet Fitness might be too full but they seem cleaner and better maintained. I'm pretty sure this gym won't survive another year open, and if they do its because of all the suckers that joined and don't go or have to overpay to get out of their contract. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM! Plenty of way better options.

I had a trainer for 4 month until he left the company (should have been a sign). The "new trainer" not once tried to contact me to schedule a session. After 2 weeks and being unable to get in touch, I called National Fitness to cancel my trainer but keep my membership. After speaking with the National Fitness "Member Service Department" (huge help they were) I was told they wouldn't cancel my last payment. They advised me to go back to the gym and speak with them but then I was told they'd probably just have me call National Fitness. Instead of cutting out the middle man (Club 24) I said why can't I just take care of this now. The man on the phone clearly had no answer and just kept repeating what he advise I do. It became clear that National Fitness didn't care and they just wanted their money. At that moment I also canceled my gym membership and convinced 7 of my friends/family to cancel their membership as well. 3 of these people also will not be continuing their trainers. I hope the $170 was worth it National Fitness/ Club 24 cause (while it may not seem like much) you just lost $3,000+ a year from family friends and I.

Good gym. They offer various programs every evening and the gym is quite spacious. There are tons of treadmills and aerobic equipment to use and I rarely have trouble finding an open machine, even during peak hours. Additionally, the weight room is quite spacious and has a wide array of equipment and free weights. Membership is fairly priced. This is a no-frills gyms.

This gym has a perfect environment for everyone to succeed. No matter what your goals are, you can achieve them at this place. Yes, the dumbbells are too small (only go up to 80's), but there are still pro bodybuilders that train here. They have one step mill which is sick ,and they have a Jacob's ladder, which is very expensive and uncommon at lower end gyms. Much diversity exists here, and all are welcoming, but there are obviously some really intense people here. Elderly people train here as well as the High School football players. The only major problem I have is that one particular manager here is on a power trip, and he likes to change different gym rules at his own personal whim which are not consistent with the rules of other gyms in this chain. He enforces rules selectively.

Compared to the Wallingford location, this one is a lot more spacious and it never seems to get quite as crowded as the Wallyworld one does on a regular basis. It is conveniently located off of 6-91, but the tanning beds are not as advanced as Wallingford.
