PowerHouse Fitness — Local services in Casa Grande

There aren't many gym options in Casa Grande. It's either PowerHouse or Planet Fitness. I checked out PowerHouse and walked around and it seemed pretty good, very chill - some of the equipment looked older, but as long as you can use it to work out, that's all that should matter, right? But little things started happening as I've gone more and more since my sign up. One of the upright seats (typically used for bicep curls) is missing the cushion on the back of it?... so your back is up against bare metal, which is sort of uncomfortable. Some of the treadmills read "walk only" on them which obviously indicates that they're older or broken and cannot be used for running - some, not all. Some of the pins you insert into the machines to set your weight are missing as well. I've had to pull pins from other machines for the one I'm trying to use at the time. I was avoiding Planet Fitness because I've heard horror stories and.. I still think PowerHouse is probably better than PF. It sucks to have these sort of complaints, because I really enjoy the overall atmosphere of PowerHouse, and genuinely would rather support a local business. I understand that some of these things could be the result of a low budget (gym equipment is STUPIDLY expensive) but when it comes to the limitations of exercising comfortably and with the right equipment, I feel like that should be the number one priority and for some reason it doesn't feel like it is. I'll keep going as long as I can (signed up for a year), but overall sort of disappointed. Before moving cities, I was at LA Fitness and think I was a bit...

Fantastic gym and fantastic staff. I've had nothing but positive experiences here and heartily recommend 247. The gym is smaller but clean, with regularly maintained equipment and premises. Broken items don't stay broken long and for the most part plates, bars and equipment are typically in their place and re-racked, which speaks favorably of not only the staff but of the other members as well. I've spent a fair share of time at larger gyms that seem to almost encourage leaving trash, debris and a great disdain for re-racking.

I haven't attended any of the classes here but a decent variety are offered and seem to be well attended.

Overall, well what a a swell place to get swole. Nods to Tiana and Matthew for always greeting and inspiring me every day that I drag myself out of bed and walk...

This gym is NOT open 24 hours as advertised. When I signed up I was told it was 24 hours except for Friday and Saturday nights due to staffing, which I can definitely work around and understand, but that the key card would let me in any other day after their normal business hours. However I have tried twice on other days and have been told they're closed and don't open again until super late at night. Decent gym but not sure it's worth the price since you're paying for a 24 hour service that isn't provided. Kinda feels like false advertising. Shame they don't have different membership options for those of us that don't want to workout at midnight to save some money since they have limited hours anyways. They also charge an $80 sign up fee and then another $80 annual fee, so just be...
