I've been a City Sports member for several years and have used most of the facilities, including the strength training equipment, cardio machines, stretching areas, locker room, showers, and pool. I find the number of treadmills, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, and stair climbing machines plentiful. The treadmills are starting to show some wear and can be hit or miss, and there are usually one or two out of order at any given time, but overall the cardio machines are great.I really like the variety of resistance training machines. There are pulley-based Nautilus type machines as well as plenty of free weight stations. I try not to go during peak hours, so usually I can get on any machine I want and get three sets in. I haven't found these machines to be out of order as often as some reviewers have mentioned, and they have all worked smoothly for me.The place is quite clean and doesn't smell either of sweat or toxic cleaning supplies.I'm taking a star off because the pool is small and only two lanes, and seems to attract swimmers that don't know much about lane etiquette. Also, some of my friends have had bad experiences as visitors, reporting that when they joined a member as a plus-one guest they got a lot of phone calls from the sales staff pressuring them to join. Other friends have complained that the 3-day pass felt like a bait-and-switch as the staff said too many (I'm guessing they meant UC Berkeley) were using them. So they stopped honoring the passes and my friends got pressure to join.To me the pricing is quite reasonable for the use of all that this gym has to offer. It lacks some amenities, a real pool, and perks like clean towels, but it's more than adequate the way it is.

Mike is the best and City Sports Club has good facilities and yoga classes. It does get really busy after work and almost all the weight section has a line, but other than that it’s great.

been here for a couple of years and it’s great. The free weight area is always really clean. The workers and trainers are helpful. All the machines i’ve ever wanted are here. I get a great workout here alone or with friends.

This is a great gym, lots of equipment and very clean. There are two levels of machines and dumbbells, plus an indoor pool. Wish they had a punch pass but otherwise a great gym!
