I've been a serious gym goer for almost a decade now and I know what I like and what is important to me when it comes to fitness centers. I've been a member of plenty of different gyms across 2 different states. Golds, 24, LA fitness, EOS, Ballys.. the list goes on. This far and away is my favorite gym.
The first and most important thing that I look at when choosing a gym is how busy it gets during peak hours. The second is the quality and variety of machines and weights. The third is the behavior of its staff and members. 24 hour fitness on Craig is exactly what I want in a gym.
I won't comment on the group classes, the trainers, the pools or other amenities because frankly, I don't use them and don't plan on it in the future. This gym is hardly ever busy (which means equipment is hardly ever broken), most of the clientele that frequent this place are friendly and generally keep to themselves and and the weight and bench set up is ideal.
I know that a busy gym is a profitable gym. I'd gladly pay double or even triple my membership fee ($29 a month) to keep the casual gym folk out. LVAC and EOS is where these chatter boxes belong. I don't want to wait 30 minutes to get in the squat rack because a female in brand new yoga pants is attempting to take the perfect picture of her ass and I don't want to wait for 30 minutes for a bench press because a group of teenage guys can't stop gawking at her.
I'm a lifter. I don't come here to socialize.
This gym is perfect.
