Overview: 24 Hour Fitness clubs are a national chain with over 300 locations most located in the West and Mid-Western United States. They have three types of clubs: fitness, sports and super-sport. The "fitness clubs" are basic gyms with cardio and weight equipment and aerobic classes. The "sport clubs" offer a bit more with swimming pool, sauna, basket ball court, kids club and more. The "super-sport clubs" offer even more with squash courts, day spa, sun deck, racquetball and much more.
Goals of the Members: Goals can range from losing weight and getting fit to participating in sporting activities.
