It's great to have one here in Glendale. I got my membership at Lake Havasu in Arizona and have…read morebeen going there for gym workouts since I lived there, frequently using other locations as well, like the Palm Desert spot, which is a great location. This one was nice; enjoyed the free parking and all the amenities all the other ones have, like showers, but it is not top tier. Machines are broken; some have signs that don't work. There's also a lack of other machines that are more obvious in other locations; it seems like they only carry the basic machines, which is fine if you want a simple workout, but there's very little variety here. The palm desert location is small as well but has more variety than this one. I do like the privacy, though; it is not as crazy or chaotic as other gyms. Coming in at 9 pm on a Tuesday was great; there were only about 4 other people here, which I loved. The other well known gyms are busy and filled with chaotic, judgmental people. In this one, everyone was just there for a workout. Small gyms and higher price points do tend to keep all the $10 membership people away, which makes a big difference in gyms. So far in my return back to LA, I am in search of a great Anytime Fitness location, and there are others in the San Fernando Valley I need to check out. I may come here once in a while, but I do need to see what else is out there. I just feel like something is missing here.

Anytime. Anyday…read more Anyway you can. Anytime Fitness - Glendale is no frills good clean fun. Located on Colorado Street on the corner intersection with Louise Street, parallel from Glendale Central Park. You can enjoy this little big location any day of the week with key fob access. They offer a 1 day free trial membership, that I wish was more like 3 to 5 days, but a win is a win! All the cardio equipment is in front with a great view of the street and local Glendale life. Some of the bikes and non treadmills can feel a little mushed together, but they do utilize all the space the best way they can. Restrooms and Showers are tip top, with crazy amazing water pressure. Some cubby holes and lock boxes to store your belongings. Parking is easy in their private lot, however it is limited. It's only a blockish from the the Americana and two from the Glendale Galleria. My boyfriend doesn't live far from here at all, so it's an Anytime I hope to revisit a little more getting back into the swing of being more active. Studio is really nice for free use if no classes are happening. I'm not a full member again yet, so I can't speak to all the policies that have been updated, but with the exception of less amenities and locations Anytime Fitness is exactly what it promises and this one in Glendale is one I appreciate.

James helped my wife and me get set up with our membership and genuinely cared about our fitness…read moregoals. He is extremely charismatic, says he's not a trainer, but he's very knowledgeable and took the time to explain which machines target which muscles. Better than every gym I've been too. Not crowded and enjoyable to be in.

Overall a decent gym, it's fairly maintained, and the staff is friendly…read more The waiting lines are of intermediate terribleness. Most of the time it's ok, however some machines they clearly need more of. For example, the row machine (they have only one of) and pec fly machine (they have two). These you can almost guarantee that there will be a line. Cables. Lines are manageable but there is a bigger issue. Half the time there are literally no attachments. At times there will be say two triceps ropes and a single bar between the 6 cables to share. So, not only not enough variety of attachments (which is also true), but at times literally not enough to even have any kind of attachment on all the cables. I don't know if people take them to the private training area (which is not accessible to normies) or whatever they do with it, but it's very common at this gym and a deal breaker issue, I'd say. Sauna - insanely nasty. Horrible. Feels very unsanitary. I used it twice and both times my freshly washed towel, that I used there to sit on, caught this horrible stink of probably hundreds of peoples' sweats soaked in the wood of the sauna benches. I would've probably caught hepatitis A through Z had I not used the towel (half-joking). Still on the subject of sauna - not necessarily exclusive to this gym, but most people don't know sauna etiquette. They go in, wearing their sweaty shoes and clothes and do freaking sit ups and other crap in there, resulting in all of us sitting in heat and breathing in their stinky body and unwashed sweaty clothes evaporates. To those people, learn some manners and look up sauna etiquette before using it next time, that is nasty and you are just being an a**hole, with all due respect. That is not good for you or anyone around you. To the gym management - maybe print out sauna etiquettes and post them in a few places where sauna users can see? Have rules of use, just like you do for everything else? Overall, not ideal, but compared to some other gyms within walking distance it is at least usable.

I met Henry about 2 years ago when he joined as one of the athletic coach's at Burbank High school…read more From the first day he's always been full of great and positive energy training our players and offered to train me as well. I've been training with Henry for 2 years now working on speed, agility strength and have learned and seen massive improvements. As a soccer player I never really went to the gym and thought it was a waste of time but Henry has taught me the importance of off the field work, how to fuel my body, and most importantly take care of my body. He's positive energy and motivation has kept me pushing and wanting to train more with him. He always pushes me to reach my maximum potential and he truly is the best trainers out there.

After years of being terrified to enter a gym because 1) I felt unsure about how to structure a…read moreworkout, 2) I was overweight and felt insecure about my body, and 3) I HATED working out, I have finally found a gym and a trainer that make me look forward to exercising. I have been working with Henry for about a month now, and I already feel like this will be the place that I'll be coming for the rest of my life. As a trainer, Henry is kind, patient, and encouraging, but he will also push you because he knows you're capable of it. He is also a truly gifted teacher, and he's been helping me learn about proper form and how to structure my workouts so that I can avoid injury. I also really appreciate that Henry tailors his work with you based upon your own goals. Learning how to work out properly was really important to me, and he's gone out of his way to help me understand how to exercise in a way that never makes me feel silly or weird for not already knowing this stuff. I genuinely look forward to my workouts with Henry -- a sentence I never thought that I would say! If you're someone like me who has struggled with finding a comfortable gym environment, I cannot recommend Henry or the other amazing trainers at this gym enough. I feel so grateful to have found this place!!

Six months later, things have gotten better…read more The staff are still amazing, which is a constant. All the treadmills have been replaced and it feels like there's plenty for everyone. I popped in last week and I didn't spot any broken machines - good sign. I'm not saying everything's perfect but it's improved. All the major renovations are done and the atmosphere feels like it's back to normal.

The maintenance of their facilities has gone downhill at WARP speed. By cutting corners on maintenance staffing and shifts and leaving their broken equipment is states of disrepair for weeks on end, they are showing the clientele the complete disregard they have for their gym experience and satisfaction. The absolute IRONY of their corporate poster at the entrance bragging about the money spent on upgrades (basically repainting the locations with their new color palette) while the state of the gym is being neglected and run into the ground is not lost on me. Please see the photos below of just some of the issues/failures I witnessed yesterday. If I had done a complete walk through, there would be a lot more. Management needs to address this immediately and if "their hands are tied"then I'll take it to corporate. This is a disgrace to the reputation that Gold's built and EoS should be ashamed of their low standard of care for their customer's gym experience.

First of all, I live in Glendale, and I'm not sure why I'm being connected to Altadena. Anyway, I…read moreenjoy most things about this gym, and the location works well for me. The staff is also friendly, but I believe they could do a better job of enforcing the rules when it comes to the pool, sauna and steam room areas. Because of a lack of attention to this, the steam room has broken down and is still out of service. The fault does not only lie with staff, but also with the gym members who are not abiding by the posted rules. Signs have been clearly visible that instruct members not to tamper with these systems by adding water or scented oils, yet some members have continued to do so. Because of this, the steam room broke down in April, having been out for several months prior, and is still out of service. And, there are times when I have not entered the sauna because the scented oils that some members are distributing are not only too strong for me, but also others. I can see how some members would want to enjoy a scented oil experience in the sauna, but it's clearly not allowed, and they are being discourteous to other members who do not want this. In addition, some members do not shower when they leave the sauna and enter the pool or spa. It would be great if the staff could do a better job of enforcing the policies surrounding the pool area, and that some members would think beyond their own needs. I think larger, more visible signs around these areas might help, in addition to a more consistent approach to monitoring the situation. The cardio machine area can also get warm, in comparison to other areas of the gym. An employee told me that they have no control over the set temperatures in the gym, and that the cardio area also got warmer because of the electrical machines. However, on more than one occasion when this area was warm, there were only a few members using the machines, and most of the machines were not turned on.

Great gym overall. The facility is clean and there's a good variety of equipment for both strength…read moretraining and cardio. The staff is friendly and the members are respectful. It can get a little crowded during peak hours, but it's still a solid place to work out. Sometimes they run out of paper towels, but the staff will usually bring more right away when asked. I've been training with Coach Yhanni for the past few months, and it has been a great experience. He's very knowledgeable and always makes sure my form is correct to help prevent injuries. The workouts are challenging but enjoyable, and he keeps me motivated to push myself especially during that last minute when it gets tough. I highly recommend 24 Hour Fitness and also Coach Yhanni to anyone looking for a supportive and professional personal trainer who will push you to reach your goals. Angela

I have been a member of this gym for about a little over 6 months, so here is my honest review…read more I since I joined Equinox, I have been working with a personal trainer, Diana, who is amazing and is helping me reach my fitness goals. Prior to joining this gym I had gained about 20lbs from life... Diana is throughly helping me with my weight loss journey. I have never felt better in my body as I do now. I am stronger and the food noise has diminished. Not only has she coached on weightlifting/ strength training but has also coached me on my diet. Lastly, I look forward to every session I have booked with Diana, she makes a special tailored program for my needs / goals and is flexible / adaptable with scheduling. Front Desk/ locker room I am always greeted with a smile from the front desk personnel. The bathroom / locker room is always tidy. The bonus for me is that they provide parking validation for the parking structure. I am always able to find a parking spot get in and out without a hiccup. The one critique I have for Equinox is that I wish they were open a little later on the weekend.

I've been a member here for about two years. This was the first gym I ever joined (prior to this, I…read morehad only done group fitness). Joining Equinox and getting support from my terrific trainers (first Talar, and now Hank) really changed my experience of fitness, my body, and my life. I am now a personal trainer evangelist, and have convinced my partner and others to get training. As for this facility, I find it to be convenient, clean, and very rarely crowded. I almost never have to wait on any particular equipment. The few classes I have taken here (mostly yoga) have been a nice change of pace as well. And, as I mentioned, the training has been a game changer. It's not cheap, but I think the quality of the facilities and service is excellent (and I'm fortunate to get a discount through my work!).

As someone with gym anxiety who isn't a "gym person," I was genuinely nervous walking into…read moreOrangeTheory, but this ended up being one of the best workout experiences I've had. The sign-up process was easy, and Josh immediately made me feel comfortable by clearly explaining how everything works. Coach Lee MADE the experience. She guided the class so well and gently corrected my form throughout without ever making me feel singled out or behind. The workout was intense but manageable. I could go at my own pace while still keeping up, burned around 600 calories, and definitely felt it the next day. What really stood out was the support. Lee helped me choose a membership that actually fit my needs without upselling, and both her and Josh were incredibly patient with all my questions. I walked in anxious and left feeling proud and excited to come back, which says everything.

They are always warm, welcoming, and genuinely make members feel valued from the moment they walk in. 3 stars for some (not all) of the other coaches. At times, they seem to engage more passively with the class and expect members to approach them with questions, rather than proactively checking in, offering form corrections, or coaching throughout the workout. 1 star for the app. It is persistently glitchy and seems to have recurring technical issues that make scheduling and managing classes more frustrating than it should be. -1 star for converting classes to a 1G format when attendance is low. While I understand it may be more convenient for the coach, it often means everyone is crowded into an already small workout space. As a member, the experience feels cramped and uncomfortable. I would much rather spread out across the room, even if there are fewer people in class. -1 star for the extras to make this a more organized studio- like the stickers on the weight racks. Dumbbells are always misplaced.
