2 /5 k b: Update Post Remodeling 5/2025
R.I.P. Basketball Court, Hello Organized Glory!
Welp, the basketball court is officially gone. I know, I know — for some of you, this is like finding out your favorite taco shop has closed down.
For me?
I didn’t really care... except that was where I enjoyed the fine art of men-watching. Those beautiful athletes... they’re out in the wild now.
Stay strong, ladies and gents.
Now to the good news:
The new design? 10/10, would let them redecorate my house.
Gone are the days of overcrowded chaos, unsafe layouts, and random people bumping into you mid-bicep curl like they’re playing gym dodgeball.
Instead, they finally used logic — a revolutionary concept!
Each area now has a purpose.
Squat racks? Together. 12 of them!
Leg machines? Together.
Ab machines? Together.
Free weights? Upstairs.
Cardio machines? Upstairs.
It’s like they finally said, “Hey, what if the gym made sense?”
Whoever came up with this layout deserves a raise, a trophy, and maybe a lifetime supply of protein powder.
Look, I get it. The basketball court was part of the community — practically a historical landmark at this point. But honestly, this upgrade was needed for anyone serious about working out without getting tackled by accident.
PRO TIP:
If youre thinking of joining, this is the prime time. And dont be shy — ask for your teacher discount.
Save those coins.
Education and gains — a powerful combo.
IN SHORT:
RIP Basketball Court.
Hello Actual Gym Efficiency.
24 Hour Fitness — you did it.
Also, can someone please send the new designer to my house? My house could really use some minimalistic layout , efficient designer expertise with a soft touch of feng shui.
FINAL SCORE:
9 protein shakes out of 10 — minus 1 point because I still miss my cute basketball-viewing sessions.

BRING COVID GUIDELINES BACK
All gyms need the hygiene protocol to be permanent. The volume of fitness folks circulating requires 24/7 sanitizing & cleaning. 24 hour sucks at this criterion.
I COME HERE FOR THREE REASONS:
1. My kids play a sport. Its a 2 hr block. No need to doom scroll so I go to the closest gym. And Im absolutely selective on what I do here.
2. The three platforms on floor 1 are good, safe and updated. I do all I can on these platforms.
3. Treadmills are quite decent and plentiful.
THUMBS DOWN
* Unhygienic overall
* Bathroom floors have never been cleaned, I dont care what they say. And it NEVER smells like bathroom disinfectant cleanliness
* Upstairs is a zoo within a zoo, ish is everywhere
FRUSTRATION FREE TIPS
* Its better to wait for a downstairs platform then it is to try to figure out what to do at this gym
* The boxing bag is quite popular (there is one guy that thinks he is Canelo Alvarez and he turns on his own boombox super loud behaves like its his own gym). I will give him props for his skills. But who isnt good when fighting a phantom opponent.
* Whatever is that you think youre going to do, have a Plan B
* 24 hour claim that they put in new equipment a month ago, IMO this is questionable
"If you have another option do that instead. But its better to do something than do nothing."
