24-Hour Fitness

From , former About.com Guide

Great for:

  • Anyone who likes to work out at untraditional times
  • People who want access to multiple locations (one near home, one near work?)
  • Those prefer not to sign long-term contracts

Avoid this gym if:

  • The social scene turns you off. Some people call 24-hour fitness a meat market.
  • You tend to workout at peak hours (4-8pm). It’s very crowded.
