I've been a 24 Hour Fitness member for years, but just started going to Fit Lite a couple weeks ago because my schedule keeps preventing me from getting to the regular gym.  I don't think the workout compares to the "real deal" weight lifting, etc. that be accomplished at the regular gym; however, you do get a decent full body workout for only 30 minutes.  

I'm a novice at circuit training, and have not been working out for awhile, so the first time nearly killed me.  It gets a little better after a few tries.  The staff is very helpful and encouraging (much more so than the regular 24 Hour Fitness, where the staff is pretty much worthless).  This is a no-frills facility, but kept clean and comfortable.  There are restrooms, a changing room, and small lockers, but no shower.  There is ample parking and even when the place is crowded, you can get to every machine because everyone is moving through the circuit.

I have only one compliant, which is related to other members, not the staff or facility per se.  Why is it that the people who sweat the most are the same ones who never carry a workout towel? I should not have to wipe up a stranger's sweat!   Take care of your own flippin' mess!  Common courtesy anyone?

I definitely recommend Fit Lite for variety in your routine, or if time is a challenge.  It sure beats not getting any exercise for the day because of a busy schedule, and it's more effective than just taking a walk during lunch.  Here's to your good health!

I've worked across from this place for almost a year now and just went for the 1st time yesterday. If I have gone the very 1st time they opened i would have been in great shape by now!

This place is pretty awesome! The trainers are very helpful and explain everything to you. It's very clean and can be done on your lunch break if your not confined to just 60 minutes like i am (i still need time to shower and eat). Oh yeah, and eat a few hours before you go, it's very intense! I thought it was gonna be a piece of cake, but hell no! It kicked my ass....Thanks Marcus for helping me out. I hope to one day write that this place helped me to lose XX amount of lbs and XX amount of inches!

Nice simple gym.  The bummer is the sales push.  I will not mention names but Mr. M was very persistent, it made me feel uncomfortable.   I actually did not join because I am looking for something different in a gym not the lowest cost.

I was tired of going to my same old gym, going on the trail to run, my yoga classes, my same workout routine so my husband introduced me to this place. It's great for busy people who want to get in a quick workout...even if you only have 30 minutes on your lunch hour!! You start off doing about 10 minutes of cardio on either the elliptical machine or bicycle. Then you do the circuit training...25 machines in all for only a minute each, it is all timed and a pleasant bell goes off, then you're off to the next machine. It is a light workout but if you really push yourself and get pumped up to the music as I do when I'm there (they play great current dance music in there!!) you will sweat and get in a great 30 minute workout. Sometimes if it's not too crowded, I will go for a second time on the circuit machines. It is a small place with only basic equipment but it's  a great change of pace from your regular workout at the gym. Also, it's located in a very nice shopping plaza...Nob Hill Foods is next door so you can grab something healthy to eat after your workout, or go to Starbucks and treat yourself to a latte.

I have been a member here since the end of January 2008 and I could not be happier with my choice.  I had been a member of an all female gym chain for over 4 years and while it nice to be surrounded by friends after a change in ownership I realized it was time to move on.  I found Fit Lite via friends at my previous gym.  Since joining Fit Lite I have lost 15lbs+ and at least 10inches.  The staff is knowledgeable, helpful and very supportive.  Also they will work with you - you just have to ask.  It does get a bit crowded Mon, Tue, Wed between 5pm-6pm but generally you can get your workout done with no problem.  This facility does not have the bells and whistles of the other nearby 24hr Fitness locations but there is 24hr access, machines in excellent condition and a staff that really cares.
