24 hours have old equipment so I only choose them on projects if it's the only gym available. Love LA fitness but I would look at locations relative to where staying. But whatever you do don't get locked into a year rate bc they will for sure screw you (happened to a friend at 24)

If you are traveling to KY check out Planet Fitness bc they are more common in rural areas. Not fancy by any means but I'm sure you can spring $10/month for a different gym while traveling

In DFW avoid the LA Fitness in Irving. It is overcrowded during weeknights from 5 pm to 9 pm. Other than that LA has better gyms than 24.

Thanks all. @D1: you mean don't pay for a yearly membership? How would they screw me?

Of course LA fitness if you life weights and they are available in your area.

You can't cancel not even with a fee, made my friend continue to use them and he even threatened to cancel credit card and they said they would go after hi.

LA definitely. The Signature in Dallas is nice but way overcrowded. The other two right in the city are nice enough. LA is a mainstay for me as I've been able to hit one in every client city

Anyone dealt with this have any recommendations? TIA
