What Do “24 Hour Fitness Hours” Really Mean?
The “24 Hour” in 24 Hour Fitness usually means members can enter the gym 24/7 with their keycard or app, but front desk staff are only available during specific hours.
Not every club is open overnight, and some have restricted hours, especially on weekends or holidays.
Quick Facts:
- Most clubs have 24/7 keycard access for members.
- Staffed hours (when you can join, get support, or bring a guest) are often more limited.
- Some locations are NOT open all night—always check local hours.
- Club access and hours can change for holidays or special events.

Hours vary by club, location, and even time of year.
Steps to Check:
- Go to the Club Finder page.
- Enter your city, state, or ZIP code.
- Select your club from the list.
- See both member access and staffed hours displayed.
Tip: Check again before major holidays for any schedule changes.

Staffed vs. Unstaffed Hours: What’s the Difference?
Staffed hours are when the front desk is open for new sign-ups, guest passes, personal training, and in-person help.
Unstaffed/member hours are when only current members with keycards/app access can enter.
Why does it matter?
- You cannot join the gym, bring a guest, or use some services during unstaffed hours.
- Childcare and personal training are only available during staffed hours.
- During unstaffed hours, support is not available, but you can use the gym if you’re already a member.
“Yes, it means the gym is open 24 hours to members, but people who want to join will have to go during staffed hours.”
