*** en el gym, en el sauna, y una persona me robó mi toalla. La reporto para que vean las cámaras y me dice el trabajador que no tiene acceso a las cámaras y que la manguera llega hasta el martes.

No me ofrecieron ni una toalla para poder secarme. Por esa razón, quiero cancelar mi membresía.

AI Highlights
  • - Facilities labeled Super Sport lack basketball and handball courts.
  • - A redesigned location has no courts but still carries the Super Sport label.

Many of the facilities in my area have elected to give up the basketball courts and handball courts. But yet they categorize themselves as Super Sports facilities.

Shouldn't these facilities be downgraded to all sport facilities.

I have an all sport membership where I should be able to visit any all sport. I tried to visit one that had been redesigned without the basketball courts and handball courts yet still label themselves as a Super Sport.

Preferred solution: Change their titles back to all sport

  • - Customer reports unhelpful, sarcastic staff at Carlsbad office when seeking membership due date after cash renewal; requests status confirmation.
Updated by user Mar 20, 2026

I am glad that they helped me resolve my problem.

Original review Mar 17, 2026
Subject
Dear 24 Hour Fitness Customer Service Team,
I am writing to formally express my concern regarding an interaction I had earlier today, March 17, 2026, at approximately 1:20 PM with a staff member at your Carlsbad corporate office.
During this visit, I was attempting to confirm the due date of my membership after having paid in cash to renew it. Unfortunately, the representative I spoke with was unwilling to provide me with this basic information.

In addition, I found her behavior to be dismissive and unprofessional, as she responded in a sarcastic manner and made the interaction unnecessarily difficult.
As a paying member, I expect clear communication and respectful treatment when seeking assistance with my account. Not being informed of my membership due date after payment is concerning, and the tone of the interaction only added to my frustration.
I would appreciate it if you could look into this matter and ensure that staff members are providing courteous and helpful service to customers.

I would also like confirmation of my current membership status and due date at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your attention to this issue. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Steve Crump

Manager unprofessionalism

AI Highlights
  • - Gus Esquivel spoke rudely to me.
  • - He told me to leave and froze my account.
  • - I clocked in not even 20 seconds ago and briefly stepped out.
Original review updated Feb 21, 2026

Manager by the name of "gus esquivel" rudely spoke to me...and when i challenged his professionalism and told him i would report it. He said i had to leave and then froze my account!

If he looked in the system he would had seen i clocked in not even 20 seconds ago. A member cant step out the door to the right of the entrance for 20 seconds to sync his headphones and walk right back in? He could had looked at the camera or better yet just speak to people with respect, dont yell at them and command like you scolding a child, thats disrespectful especially to a military vet and especially if you were wrong. The video would clearly show i checked in manually.

Had he not chose to handle it by humuliating me, he would had seen i was good to go. When it was brought to his attention instead of descalate and adjust his his tone to speaking to a valued member we would be fine, but he chose to act like he worked for ice and not 24 hour fitness .

Cons:
  • Slauson location is ghetto and broken equipment

Preferred solution: Apology and unfreeze the retalitory freeze placed on my account because i said i would report gus esquivel unprofessional behavior.

User's recommendation: Avoid slauson 24 hour fitness at all costs

Saying someone acted like they work for ICE because you are angry is disrespectful to everyone who has actually had to deal with ICE. You weren't afraid for your life or the lives of those around you. Shame on you for minimizing what people in this country are going through.

No customer service at all. Awful 10/10 would not recommend

Original review Dec 13, 2025

No guest pass available without fee payment, no free trial available, no customer service line available. Awful service all around.

Negligent, mindless service.

I've been paying this membership for years but in multiple states in this country and couldn't bring my mom for a couple of days without paying a fee. I think that's absurd; wasn't able to contact any customer service representative.

Preferred solution: A free guest pass for my mom or a free trial

User's recommendation: Do not sign up for this gym

  • - Parking was hard to find; a renewal charge of 275.88 and 16.00 appeared on my credit card, and I want a refund and cancellation.
Updated by user Nov 13, 2025

I regret ever stepping into that filthy place

Original review Nov 10, 2025
I joined your gym in November 2024; I attended 1-2 times. It was nearly impossible to find parking; it usually took as long to find parking as it took to work out. So, I called the guy who sold me my membership and expressed my unhappiness and asked for a refund, which he declined. I expressed my displeasure and told him I would not be back.
I just saw on my credit card statement dated 11-01-25 a renewal fee of $275.88 and an additional charge of $16.00, for which I don't know.
I am requesting a refund and cancellation of membership. But when I called about this matter at 9 am, the sales manager said he would call me back. He never did. So I went in and was told I have to speak to GM Ashley Shaffer. She was informed I was there and why I was there; she never came out to speak with me. After standing there in the lobby for 15 minutes, I went into her office. She yelled at me and threw me out. She eventually came out and threw me out of the club. I asked for the corporate phone number and was given a wrong number.
The charges on my credit card statement are a renewal fee of $275.88 and an additional charge of $16.00, for which I don't know.
I am requesting a refund and cancellation of membership, please. As you can see, I never returned to your gym.
I do not wish this issue to become adversarial. Please review my attendance and grant me my refund, as this is causing me mental anguish and pain and suffering.
Loss:
$292

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Run away as fast as you can! They are a nightmare.

  • - The club near my home shut down.
  • - Pool access occurred after the sauna; the trainer no-showed.
  • - Paid in advance; Platinum canceled with no refund; $272.
Updated by user Nov 20, 2025

I wanted to write to Mr. Karl Sanft (President & CEO) Then I thought I should give my Money of $272 to them who don't have anything to eat, they only can survive LIKE THIS (by stealing, cheating) & give it to 24 Hrs Fitness' Admin & their Manager like Brittany Camilo (Spring branch.

mgr.,Spring, Tx)>People like this never stop bagging, if they come back & ASK FOR MONEY ! My advice to others are JOIN THE CLUB WHERE THEY DONT STEAL YR.

MONEY BUT GIVE U SRVC. & HELP WHEN YOU NEED.

Original review Nov 05, 2025
I don't know where to start from. I had been a member for 2 years.

The first inconvenience was you shut down the club close to my house. Second, you let other members go into the swimming pool right after using the sauna. The third inconvenience was you scheduled training and the trainer no-showed twice. Then you took all the payment in advance and canceled my membership.

Of course, upon my request, you canceled my membership but there was no refund after you promised. The Spring location club member, Ms. Brittany, lacked email responses after leaving several messages, but there was no response whatsoever. Mr.

James, Mr. Singh, and Ms. Cheryl left messages with them at the Spring club, but there was no response. It seems like the manager, Brittany, made me pay the full amount for a Platinum membership and then, within a week, after promising that I would get a refund, no refund was received; instead, my membership has been canceled.

There is no access now, and they swallowed my money of $272 in total.

Who should I reach? There is no customer service, and I don't know who to talk to.
Loss:
$272
Pros:
  • Having swimming pool
Cons:
  • Low maintenance & lack of keeping eye on members making it dirty

User's recommendation: Just make sure whoever is promising you for anything you either record or have them signed in writing.
