Here's what we love about 24 Hour Fitness

24 Hour Fitness gets the basics right and adds a few extras.

  • Recovery24 at about half the clubs.

  • Water and heat. Most clubs have a pool, and nearly every club has a sauna.

  • Courts. More than half the clubs have a basketball or pickleball court.

Here are the things we wish 24 Hour Fitness would improve

24 Hour Fitness does plenty right. A few gaps are worth knowing before you sign.

  • No childcare, so parents need a plan for the kids.

  • Amenities vary from club to club, so tour the one you'd use before you sign.

  • Pricing and fees can differ by club, so get your exact rate in writing.

How much does it cost to join 24 Hour Fitness?

24 Hour Fitness prices vary by club. Starting prices I found in October 2026 were $24.99 or $29.99 a month at most clubs. The plans:

  • GetFit (about $24.99 to $29.99/month month-to-month): the entry plan, cheaper on an annual prepay.
  • KeepFit (about $34.99 to $49.99/month month-to-month): the middle tier.
  • KeepFit+ (about $39.99 to $54.99/month month-to-month): the top tier.

​

Annual prepaid plans run about $19.98 to $33.99 a month, paid up front.

  • I don't have 24 Hour Fitness's annual fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • I don't have 24 Hour Fitness's enrollment fee yet. Ask your club before you sign.
  • Gym prices got you stressed out? Start with a free trial instead.

Additional info about 24 Hour Fitness

Final thoughts — Is worth it?

Yes, if you want a pool, a sauna, and courts. Most clubs have a pool, and nearly every club has a sauna. Starting prices are $24.99 or $29.99 a month at most clubs.

​

It fits you best if you swim, play basketball or pickleball, and like group classes. If you count on childcare, 24 Hour Fitness is a weaker pick, because no club offers childcare. Google reviews average 3.4 stars across the chain, so read your club's reviews and take a tour first.

​

My take: 24 Hour Fitness is worth a tour if you want a pool.
