Is In-Shape Health Clubs open 24 hours a day?

Nope. Not a single In-Shape Fitness location has all night long hours. That's 45 gyms in California where your workout can't go on all night.

We look at their available amenities, competition and overall purpose plus mission statement. Our best guess is that open-24-hours isn't a priority for this gym chain. A family friendly focused company, we don't see them reaching for late night hours as a next option or feature to introduce. 

We're not sure. Sometimes we get inside info or a tip from someone in the know—not with In-Shape this time around.

Operating a gym that remains open 24/7 presents several challenges. The decision to keep a location open round the clock is influenced by various factors. Common concerns across all gym chains include:

• Is there enough interest from members for in all-night access?
• Does the local city or county approve of the extended hours?
• Can the gym adequately staff and resource itself for 24-hour operations? 
• What are the necessary safety measures to ensure the gym's smooth operation in any scenario? 

​

As of January 2024, In-Shape Health Clubs and California Family Fitness merged into a single gym chain "In-Shape Family Fitness."

While neither of these two companies offered up 24/7 hours, it's possible that this perk could be added down the road. It's unlikely in our opinion though, as this merging is their #1 priority for all of 2024.

The exact opening hours for each location is different, but the most common we've seen:

• Monday: 4:00 AM – 11:00 PM
• Tuesday: 4:00 AM – 11:00 PM
• Wednesday: 4:00 AM – 11:00 PM
• Thursday: 4:00 AM – 11:00 PM
• Friday: 4:00 AM – 11:00 PM
• Saturday: 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM
• Sunday: 6:00 AM – 8:00 PM

These are excellent operating hours, with an industry-leading 4:00 AM open time. Members can work out 'til 11:00 PM on weekdays, meaning doors are only closed for 5 hours the majority of the week. We're certain this was the main reasoning to not offer 24-hour-a-day service.

As of January 2024, no locations at In-Shape Health Clubs are open 24/7. While we do think it would be a nice amenity to have for their members, the fit isn't quite right with their overall offerings.

With hours that already open early and close late, their core member base—families—are probably already taken care of. More important to them would be something like childcare, for example. 

Again, with the merger together with California Family Fitness, some things such as hours may change, but our bet is that it won't.
