This is the bodybuilding gym I have been looking for! You will never need to wait for any equipment since they are so well stocked. Machines are well maintained and the price for membership is a steal. Definitely recommend for anyone who is looking for an affordable and well stocked gym!

Your standard bodybuilding gym with all the necessary machines and then some. Biggest difference is that all of the staff are very nice!!

At the first glance this gym seemed to be bad for me because it does not look like a new gym. After some days working out there I figured that it was an amazing gym with many equipments that I haven’t seen before and a great quantity for each. All of them are working well. Also, the gym is not crowded at all.The only thing that can be improved are the gym mats, but I’ll still leave a 5 star.

This place looks super neat. Does anyone know how to find a personal trainer here to work out with? I asked the employee here but they told me that they do have trainers here but they won’t provide their contact information.

Great gym will a lot of equipment. One of my favorite gyms I’ve been too so far.

Had a good experience lifting here for a few days on work travel. The person at the front desk gave me a free pass for 2 days which was very convenient. Lots of good equipment; definitely geared more towards power lifters, but I didn't feel out of place there.

One of their worst locations. They have a lot of equipment but some of their staff really needs to be retrained because clearly they have no idea how to maintain a clean gym.Especially the black guy who works here. I don't know what his issue is with certain races, but to only pick on some people (asians) for things that should be HIS JOB, is unacceptable. I cleaned and wiped down my equipment after finishing my sets and he pulled me aside and told me he could have me kicked out if I didn't wipe down my equipment after every workout. I noticed a theme with the other people he pulled aside as well.Any ways, I have been going to their campbell location and it is great. Less equipment but a much safer place. Shame, since I really liked these gyms.

I really wanted to give them five star. It has been a great summer. Very motivating work out environment, gym bros are very warm hearted. Place is nice and clean and has all the equipment I wanted. However, on August 17th there was a new woman staff. The rudest I ever seen. When it is their time to close, she just kill all the lights, I was doing my last set on benching. The sudden darkness made me had no idea where to re-rack the bar. It is not only rude but also very dangerous. People complained about it, she did not seem to care. In addition, after three days of spectating, she is extremely racist! She would ask the Asians to re-rack the weight only because they are the last one on that area( they did not even use the machine) yeah, she clearly sees who was using it, and ask Asians to do the weights re-rack. My girlfriend who is also Asian wants to check out a protein shakes on 10:55pm, and I see she purposely shut off the register and claim she will not sell anything since it is past the work hour and register had been shut off. It was really really really good to work out there the whole summer. It was one of my best memories here in California during my summer internship. I would miss this place when I go back to college. However, this woman makes me feelsick. Five stars or even 10 stars for the whole experience, zero for that new woman staff.

The employees were very welcoming and helpful during my initial trial period. The location is close to home and I can appreciate how other customers have been friendly, and supportive with assisting me during my workout sessions when needed, and visa verse. Honestly, for the sake of looking for basics in regards to equipment, cleanliness, and access, this location is just right, and I always look forward to coming out either by myself or with my friend who’s a fellow servicemember in the Army.
