| - In an attempt to change my daily routine, I decided to visit this 24 Hour Fitness location. It's an "Active" facility as opposed to "Sport", which is what I'm normally use to. It also means it's a smaller facility; however, not at all disappointing. It has most of the offerings of a Sport location; namely, free weights, weight machines, cardio machines such as stationary bicycles and treadmills, a room for classes which can also be utilized for all patrons when class is not in session, a small area to warm up with additional specialized exercise tools like the bosu ball and jump ropes, and if I recall correctly there is also a kid's club. Of course being a smaller facility means you won't find the following offerings found at the Sport facility: less equipment, no swimming pool, no extra room for classes, less office space (which doesn't really matter), no room for stationary bike classes, and I think no massage area. I just thought I would point that out, but I don't think that necessarily takes away from the quality of this 24 Hour Fitness.
I am impressed with the number of cardio machines and weight machines they have. The free weights are a good number as well, but I'm not sure how accessible everything is throughout the week as I've only visited once so far and it was on a Saturday afternoon, which is normally a slow time for any gym. In addition, I found this gym to very clean. The equipment also looked pretty modern and well-cared for. The location is good because it is right next to a large residential area.
Overall, I wouldn't give up visiting the 24 Hour Fitness Sport location; especially, since there is one just 6 miles away, but this one at 100th St is definitely worth going to.
