24 Hour Fitness — Attraction in Bothell

Everything from disgusting showers, to a guy that won’t stop whistling, and a plethora of people signed up at this location (all the locations, infact). Save your money, purchase the equipment, and set a gym up in the comfort, sterility, and grunt/whistle free space of your own home. You’ll thank your wallet, your gas tank, your sanity in the long-run. It’s crowded practically 24/7, even at times where you’d expect the gym to be empty (1AM-4AM). There seems to be a dozen (at least) or so people that frequent the gym at that hour, particularly this one imbecile who decides it is his duty to whistle like he’s singing the tune to the Andy Griffith show, or something. It’s very unnerving when he grunts as if he’s a silverback gorilla. We get it, we hear you. Now back to the nitty gritty. The showers are absolutely disgusting. Quarantine-worthy, actually. It’s as if people rip their hairs out and toss them all over the floor, how they manage to get them in the deepest recesses of the showers, I do not know. What I do know, is your feet will come out looking like Bigfoot if you don’t use enhanced due-diligence. Bring a few bottles of sanitizer as well, because they’re littered with bandaids (why hasn’t this place been shut down?). I will be paying the $2000+$159 a month for the beautiful and elegant Bellevue Club, rather than this monstrosity of what they attempt to call a gym.

The constant flow of recent negative reviews further concludes and adds to the validity of my review.

They also got rid of the towel service, under the guise of “going green”. But doing the math... how does 10,000 individual washes (from the amount of patrons that are seemingly signed up for this location) use less water, electricity, and materials, than a single bulk wash? Hint: it doesn’t.. it’s all about saving money because they were losing so much of it by re-ordering towels due to the amount that were being stolen. Corporate must think of their patrons as monkeys who would never think outside the box and question whether their claims are true. The owner of this gym doesn’t care about their members. He just cares about...

It's a great gym. The staff has always been friendly but at the same time, even if they weren't (like some reviews have said), who cares? I come here to work out and be left alone. Sometimes it's pretty busy when I go and some pieces of equipment require some patience because some people like to sit there and do multiple sets without even looking around to see if someone is waiting. This isn't the gyms fault. Some people are just rude or stupid. If someone is being stupid, it's not that hard to walk over and say "you mind if I jump in real quick?". Anyways, the gym has a wide variety of equipment. I go here 4 times a week and I enjoy it. The showers are awesome, better pressure than I get at home. The basketball court and pool look nice. Oh and the kids area is awesome. I take my daughter there about once a week and she loves it. And its only $6 per visit (or $25/month for unlimited visits) which seems reasonable. The only thing I thought kind of sucked was that you can't take your kid to the pool. The pool is 18 and older because they don't have a lifeguard. Oh well.

If you're worried about the type of people that go to your gym, don't go to a gym at all. Do you want them to ban all of the good looking people so that you feel better about yourself? And there will be aholes wherever you go, so just deal with it. People need to stop writing bad reviews because of the people they encounter at a place. That has nothing to do with the quality of the business. And if you have a problem, look at yourself first. You might be the...

Me and my wife went to this 24 Hour Fitness center in 18006 120th Ave NE, Bothell, WA 98011. They told us that if we both enrolled we could use the Kid's club to leave our kid when we use the gym. But they didn't mention that using the Kid's club would require additional fees for signing up for another membership. And when we were enrolling our kid was with us. So it would be natural for the person assisting us to mention that the kid needs a membership as well. But he didn't. We got to know that later on when we tried to use the Kid's club. At that time my wife wanted to cancel her membership. She did and the manager told us that they would refund the money for her membership. When we didn't see the refund in almost 2 months, we called again. The manager changed what he said before and said that they cannot refund the money. Had the manager told us at the beginning that he wouldn't be able to refund the money maybe my wife would try to use the gym for a few days. Because of their failure to give us the full information (about Kid's club) and giving us wrong information (about refunding) we lost two months of payment - for which my wife didn't use the gym for a single day. I hope this review helps some people to avoid getting into the same situation in future.

And also the manager had a 'we don't care ... we are keeping the money whether its reasonable or not' attitude. So know everything...
