24 Hour Fitness — Local services in San Francisco

This place is disgusting. I can't tell you how badly I've had to keep myself from gagging in the restroom. The mold in the showers is all black - more black is visible than the white of grout. People take off the little bandaids they put on their face to cover pimples in the shower, stick on the glass of the door and I'm not kidding - its been there for over 3 months...and still there. The ceiling in the showers beads up with condensation - covering all of the mold and then drops on you when your in the shower. You can feel when you get dropped on, because the drops colder than the shower. The thought of that filth dripping on me while I'm trying my best to get clean in that repulsive shower makes my stomach turn.

There is only one power outlet that works and it's so old and worn, no matter what you plug into it, it just falls out. ... so I'm there, trying to dry my hair, plug wants to fall out, I'm trying my best not to move around too much. The wall near the outlet is covered in the most disgusting combination of who knows what - but it's very thick and yellow.

Walking on my way out - trying to get out of there, it's impossible to avoid walking right in front of the fan - which just reminds me of all the germs and bio nastiness has just been anatomized and now it's in my mouth and nose and eyes.

This place should be condemned. I don't think it's possible to fix. It should be bull dozed, exposed to the radiation of the sun for a very long period of time. If I was a neighboring business, I would demand this place be shut down. God only knows how far this infection of a gym can spread.

Seriously...for your health - do...

Please. Please clean the women's locker room. I've been going to this gym for over 2 weeks and I have seen no signs of it being cleaned, yet the free soap in the dispensers in the showers are getting refilled so employees have to go in there. I've daydreamed of hiring a cleaning crew myself, or bringing my own cleaning products and scrubbers and cleaning the shower stall I use. This... Shouldn't be something I have to think about, let alone daydream about when going to workout at the gym. I love the location and super easy and free parking, but please clean the locker room.

Side note: I went to the gym this morning only to find a note written in chalk on the front door that the power was out. I couldn't go all the way back home in the East Bay so I had to go to a friend's home to get ready for work! Safeway had their power on, so... Huh. I hope it's open tomorrow! 🙏

Update 2 months later, 8/21/18: There is black mold throughout the showers, hair in the drains, makeup on the counters, and hair and debris on the floors. The ventilation system seems to be non-functioning. I have not seen one person cleaning this facility, therefore I have a feeling this gym gets "cleaned" once a month if that. It's disappointing. It's such a convenient location for me and my workplace so I continue to go. I just don't touch anything.

Update: 6/5/19 Showers are still not being cleaned. I was last here a week ago and there was a sanitary napkin stuck to the wall in a shower stall. It's still there when I was at the gym today. WTF. How are the showers, THE SHOWERS, not...

Unbelievably bad serivice. I already have a membership for SF Fitness in Oakland and was looking for a gym I could get a second membership in SF for me a friend to introduce them to powerlifting. We both sign up for guest passes online so we can check out the facility. The website doesn't really call out any additional requirements. Our whole Saturday was planned around this.

Friday we get a courtesy call asking when we plan to come in. I say later in the day Saturday.

When we get there on saturday there's a single person at the desk on the phone. We wait 5-10 minutes until he finally gets a moment to ask if we need a towel. Nope, here to check the facilities and claim our guest pass. He says he'll be with us in a moment. ~15 minutes later he informs us we both need an SF address (only one of us does and I'm not sure why it matters because I want an SF membership) and that even if we both did there's no sales rep there to issue us the guest pass.

So, I paid for two cabs and waited in traffic jams and put both our days on hold and skipped my session at my gym to....just be turned away? All I wanted to do was walk in, find out if I can squat and deadlift, make sure my friend has what they need to get started and then buy a membership. Instead I guess I have to take get a Oakland location to issue me a guest pass?

Nope. Taking my friend to SF Fitness. Paying $15 for a day...
