Great gym, low price $70 a month with a decent locker. Friendly people, just wish they would fix the heavybag at the gym in modesto so I don't have to drive to Turlock to hit the heavybag

They tossed out all Senior Citizens and the handicapped out the door and canceled our memberships. They will no longer except Medicare sponsored excersize programs .What kind of gym doesn't work with these groups encouraging them to get healthy. Very disappointed in Brenda Athletic Club.

I absolutely love it here! This is the first time as a gym member in 60 years. I went in recovering from poor health and surgery.I decided to go with the trainer so I could learn how to do things properly so I would not hurt myself.My trainer is Mary. She is excellent!I could not possibly be more pleased with the benefits. In a short time, not only has my health improved but the pain that I suffer every day is so much better that I don't have to take a pain pill every single day or night just to sleep.The facility is clean.The members are very good at wiping down the equipment when they're finished using it.

I have only been going here briefly and the staff has been very unprofessional. I went to cancel my membership and the staff was rude and I was hit with the annual membership fee the month I cancel. I should have went to in-shape. If you’re reading this save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Gym equipment was broken half the time and weights scattered making it a scavenger hunt just to workout. Just go somewhere else, you’ll thank me.

Save your money and go somewhere else. Come here for my mental health and I love using the sauna which is always broken. I asked staff for an update and they look at me like I speak another language. not worth paying the monthly rate when I can’t even use the sauna all month

Would not recommend a long term commitment to the Turlock gym. The men's sauna is broken every other week and they take forever to fix it. It gets broken one day and then the next day it will work and the day after, it will be broken again. The staff do nothing to fix it. They have taken longer than 2 weeks to fix it in the past. How hard is it to get someone to take a look at it and diagnose the problem that keeps happening for the sauna to break. They sometimes blame it on the wait time to get a certain part to get delivered. Well why not order multiple parts that they might need to have in stock when it breaks in the future. Or just get a whole new sauna unit itself. With the amount that people pay for rates (which keep going up), I know they can afford it. The sauna has been broken for a week now again and they still haven't fixed it. Some primarily choose this gym because of the sauna but if it is never working then what is the point.Also, the staff here are very rude. A friend of mine was once told by one of the male staff wearing a hat "I'm going to have to kick you out" while he was in the sauna. It was about 4 minutes from closing time and he had every intention of getting out before closing time came. They don't have any rules which state you have to get out of the sauna a certain amount of time before the gym closes. When he was out of the sauna and changing in the bathroom, the worker kept standing there staring and waiting for him and asked if he was ready yet, when it was about 2 minutes to closing time. The worker should not be pressuring when it was not even closing time. Theres not rule that says you have to be out of the bathroom a certain time before closing.Rather try out InShape in ceres since it is the closest other gym that has a sauna and was also recently revamped.

Been here for 13 years. Over time, quality has gotten worse while membership rates go up. Sauna and hot tub are always broken, daycare for children has gone away, the satellite gym on Monte Vista is gone, carpet in the locker room (disgusting), and staff are not attendant to problems. They seem annoyed if you have any questions. Everything has gotten worse while paying more. The clientele has significantly changed. More of the types who hog cables for 40 minutes in groups of 8. There are less classes included.But basically BAC, if you're reading this, fix your sauna and include more amenities or I'm just going to go to a cheaper gym.
