Review:
In the sleepy neighborhood of Noe Valley sits a tiny gym. At first glance, the lack of treadmills, free weights, group exercise classes, personal trainers, childcare and showers seem bewildering. The lockers are in short supply and there are only six bikes and two ellipticals. This is not what you would expect from a 24 Hour Fitness. But this is not a regular 24 Hour Fitness. Instead, it is an express, co-ed circuit gym that offers a full body workout in 30 minutes.
After warming up for seven minutes, you're prompted to move onto the organized workout. First you'll head to the cardio-resistance machines where you're encouraged to keep a good pace with reps. Next you'll move onto the stretching area where you can complete ab exercises. Then you'll head over to the plated weight machines. Every minute or so you switch stations until you are done.
The 24 Hour Fitness Noe Valley is as bare and basic as a gym can get, yet it's clean and the staff is friendly. New members receive an orientation, too. Outside of rush hours, you can stay on the machines as long as you like. And if you can't sleep, the gym is open. Regardless of what time you arrive at the gym, you should always feel safe since a fingerprint scan is needed to get through the door.
If you don't feel like you'd enjoy a limited workout, there are other 24 Hour Fitness locations just minutes away.
