About this Sanctuary
Nestled in San Diego's bustling Balboa neighborhood, 24 Hour Fitness on Balboa Avenue presents a unique sauna and wellness experience. The sprawling gym offers a range of facilities including basketball courts, racquetball, a swimming pool, and a variety of exercise equipment. The saunas and steam rooms, while often criticized for their cleanliness, provide an intimate atmosphere for relaxation and unwinding. Visitors appreciate the spacious women's locker room and the ample shower facilities. Staff members are generally friendly and helpful, often greating regulars by name. However, the venue faces ongoing issues with sanitation, particularly in the sauna and steam rooms, which can be a source of disappointment despite the potential benefits for health and wellness.
