Great for me. I just need easy motion so the treadmill, elliptical, and rowing machine are plenty. A little of the weight machines for strength.

Prior to the pandemic the parking. Lot was a mess with disabled vehicles etc.It's now clean and easy to park.They however need to enforce wearing mask to protect the members

Everything was perfect, clean, and not so crowded. The reason I gave 4 start is the equipment. Need heavier dumbells and Olympic Bar for squat and deadlift. The gym is perfect for beginners tho.

They are charging during the pandemic even though theyre not open the same hours. They keep charging reactiviation fees even though they close the day after. Stay closed i dont care but at least dont charge me.The reply by owner says to reach out to management yet everytime i call they are not in or reception does not wish to transfer me.

Will still charge you for months closed. I thought I canceled at the front desk around March, maybe they wiggled in "oh it will be frozen", but I never got notified it was opening yet recently got charged in October and November. Can't call member services because it's closed, you want me to send a tracked letter?? Maybe a telegraph next? Who am I Abraham Lincoln? Not worth the hassle, do a bank routing stop payment and that's that. Please avoid the scheme of inconvenience they lock you in

Can’t say enough good things about this gym. They implemented excellent safety protocols and the machines are all in excellent condition. The app also lets you gauge fullness before going. Very convenient.

This gym has some pretty negative reviews so I'm glad I gave it a chance and went in person! The facility has a lot of equipment, TV's, nice locker room. Both memberships are very affordable! Staff are almost all very nice. I would say you get more than what you pay for. It's true that the parking lot is a bit sketchy but anyone who lives in Oakland knows there are break-in risks if you leave stuff in your car. Overall I think the price is totally worth it.

Cool spot. Staff is usually down to earth and professional. But on this fine Super Bowl Sunday evening. On my way out,, I stopped at the front desk. This staff member wth the name tag, Sidney, was so busy on his phone that he didn’t see me standing there. When I politely Saadi excuse me to get his attention, he turned to me with the phone still up to his face. He did answer we my 2 questions but that’s horrible customer service and unprofessional, Sidney.
