Great place to work out, and Renew yourself, and physical fitness next to the beautiful lake Merritt

The location was convenient for me and they have well-mannered staffs. Machines were in good working condition and the membership was cheap. Clean bathrooms too.

This location chose to buy new TVs to show ads for their classes instead of using that money to repair damaged equipment. I have made management aware of safety issues with their machines and I have been ignored. After noticing the damaged cables on nearly every machine I use, I have chosen to search for a new gym.

Overcrowded, not just the gym people, but even the equipments themselves. They have too many equipments that are placed right next to each other, making workouts uncomfortable, no personal space. The gym is reek of the typical gym smell especially on the hot days. The reason I joined was their convenient location, but I'm going to cancel soon.

This gym is great! Clean, relatively affordable (especially if you join during one of their promotions) and really big! I

The best gym I've ever been a member at... and I've been a member at 12 other gyms over the past 18 years. It's the best gym not because of the facility or equipment (which is good), but because of the people that go here. This is the only gym that I can say is a true 'community' of people and where jut about everyone is putting in work. Before you roll your eyes at that statement, let me explain: Everyone is considerate and even supportive of eachother. Whether you're a 60 year old woman bench pressing or a muscled mutant on the elliptical, everyone is supportive of eachother. I have never seen such a variety of people interact, coexist, and even socialize in the same weight room. The women are not afraid to get on the free weights, and the the biggest guys don't look down on the first-timers. I can tell people are here to actually train and improve themselves. That's motivating. Best of all - no crossfit. The staff I've interacted with is great, and they have sports drinks / protein shakes at the front if you need one. Price is fair.

Cons: Some of the leg equiment needs updating, and they need a few more safety clips for the barbells.

I am fortunate to live only a block away, but if you're looking for parking, just go up the hill on MacArthur.

I am a new Bay Area resident, and I still don't have a California driver's license nor a job that shows I work in the Bay Area, and because of that I cannot be "allowed" a 1 day free pass to actually try the gym out, and some sales rep named Julia basically told me that they don't trust people to just use their gym for free without being able to show that they are locals and they can commit to sign up for it, which sounds absurd to me. I called another gym right after and they have no problem having me use their gym for a 3 day trial for free, and if i do like it (which I already know I will) then I can join them. So 1 star for extremely poor customer service, it really needs to change that ridiculous policy and get some sales reps who actually care to get new customers.

Decent gym. Staff could be more friendly.

A no fuss fitness facility with friendly staff that offers every machine etc. you could want. If you're into something special like cross fit then this isn't the place for you. Be sure to come early as it gets warm inside and bring your own towel for the locker room. Parking is often available in the library parking lot across the street or paid meter parking.

Staff is friendly and great. The group x classes have great instructors and they are almost always full! The gym can get a little packed from 5-7pm but even then, I don't ever see myself waiting for a machine or having nothing to do. Other members are courteous and kind. I signed up for a membership under a special promotion and have absolutely no complaints!

It's located a little less than a mile from home so I just run there and count that as a warm up.

The best gym in Oakland. Clean and plenty of equipment to get a great workout

Standard gym. Lots of equipment. Crowded group classes. Weird pricing structure that always changes depending on when you join. Locker rooms are okay but not fancy at all. If you are looking for individualized care you can get it here but it will cost you and you'll still be at a an overcrowded gym. If you like to do your own thing, this gym is fine.

The staff is very professional and helpful. The equipment is clean and the classes are great. You can't beat the location, but parking can be a bit difficult if you don't live in the area.

Friendly staff, a wide variety of fitness machines and equipment to use, many different types of classes and good opening hours. The changing rooms, showers and sauna are well maintained and always clean.

Is a good gym, but with stuff that can improve. For example, the ventilation could be a lot better. But taking that, is small, but have everything you need. One floor for cardio and classes, and the other one for machines and weights. Since is small, if u don't want to wait that other person finish their exercise, try to avoid the rush hour.

Meh. The price is good and it's not as gross as 24 hour fitness. No towels, machines are sticky, and the WiFi is pretty bad. It's just not an inspiring place.

October 24, 2017 15:58

Such a great gym. I like seeing all body types here. Even though I'm not super in shape, I feel comfortable here. Nice big locker room and a sauna!

Clean great ma machines... Better that 24 hour fitness

October 24, 2017 15:58

One of the best gyms I've been to. Great people, good machines, never really have to wait for stuff.

October 24, 2017 15:58

Good gym, but barely any parking, limited free weights, and no towel service
