ive had membership to both
24 hour was more convenient (the whole 24 hours thing), the other had a bigger pool so more than 2 ppl at a time could swim, which i like to do also.

I have to use a local one with pretty crappy hours :/ only till 9 PM on weekdays, and 5 PM on weekends. I start my work shift at 10 so it'd have been nice if it stayed open until then so I could exercise on my way to work.

Swimming is my thing, both gyms have lap pools and spas. Other than that I'm likely to use the treadmills and bikes mostly.
I also want my daughter to go, the price of membership is much the same as just going to the public pool which has really restricted hours.
I think the 24 hour thing would be good for me right now though, as I stay up pretty late.
hard to decide
The LA Fitness is open until Midnight Mon-Thur, till 10 on friday and 8 on weekends.

The pool was always in use, the hot tub always had greasy people that would hang out in it (talking people you really didn't want to chill out with in a hot tub). The manager was a complete douche when I cancelled. In general, a lot of annoying people working out. Free weight section sucked for being such a large gym.
On a good note, there are a lot of cardio machines and TVs.

I guess we'll give each one a try with the free week thingy they have before committing to either.

I've never used the other one, but 24 hr is nice for the hours and mine has a nice saltwater pool so your hair doesn't get all chlorinated.
Definitely gets more traffic than the other ones though, so I can basically never go during peak hours unless I just want to sit and wait.

its interesting that you say yours has a salt water pool without chlorine, I was on a cruise where they had a salt water pool, but they still put chlorine in it, WAYYY to much chlorine actually. I didn't know they did non-chlorinated salt water pools actually.

I went into a 24 hour fitness once just to see.
Ended with me telling the people off for their horrible tactics and pressure. They were like drooling hyenas that only wanted my card so they could charge $0 to it so that they could lock in some ridiculous price. I got up to leave and they handed me a free 7 day pass as I was walking out, and I threw it away in their garbage immediately.
I ended up at Ballys, because they didn't talk to me at all, and it was cheap. Now they got bought by LA fitness. Still haven't bothered me and it's the same price so I'm ok with it.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it works, but I'm pretty sure the guy showing me around when I joined said it didn't need any. If there is any, it's definitely far less than a regular pool.
I know it doesn't dry out my hair or skin at all and you can't smell chlorine.

salt water pools use chlorine generators instead of adding chlorine to the water manually.
i'm joining la fitness cuz that's the one my parents go to.

that just means you have to look at ugly naked people in the locker room.
last time I went swimming with the Manfriend most of the women were fine, but there was one chick that thought she was the cat's meow... she was butt freaking ugly, had fake boobs, and one of them the nipple was WAY messed up. She seemed to enjoy parading around nude making sure everyone got a chance to see her.

Or just don't go in the locker room, and shower at home.
edit: Not generally an option if you are going in the pool, but for everyone else this is fine. Or go during off hours.

if you have the option, 24 hour. la fitness is a big time scam and all about the $. generally their equipment is very terrible, broken, and old, but worst of all the hours are terrible.
