I love the facility to work out and prices are reasonable. we have a membership. my kids loved it, sometime the pool is close without a previous notice and my kids don't like coming there then the pool is close. The parking lot should be for paying members only, or at least have signs and a reserved section for paying members.
The gym staff are very good and friendly. it is a very good place for work out.
Clean. Lots of machines & weights. Two nice pools. Wish they could open earlier.
The best club in the bay area! There is always a lane open sideways during the week! Very clean pool & warm pool, not the olympic, 25 yards, great for injury recovery & cold days. Outside swimming is a dream! Has pools & excellent programs daily & weight room.
Love their swimming pool and nice ppl at frontdesk
I've never seen much of anything out of place. It's always clean in locker room as well as the main floor. To me it's the best gym on the peninsula!
Very nice fitness facilities.
Took my Mother to sign up. I left completely depressed that there is not nor never shall be a facility like that in Castro Valley. Sparkling clean! Unbelievably 8nviting pools. Membership Coordinator, Barbara Jones was an impressive model in customer service, knowledge and personality. At least my Mom can enjoy it!
Attended a swim meet there. Everything seemed clean and very well maintained.

This review is only for the aquatic center. Although the pools themselves are amazing the facilities are terrible!! Even if you are paying for private or semi private lessons, you cannot even use the women's locker room that is right next to the pool. If you have to go to the bathroom or change your clothes, the staff tells you that you must walk to another building to a family changing room (which smells worse than an outhouse) and is very far away. This was a miserable experience, especially when I was 8 months pregnant and was told I had to walk all the way past the pools through a gate to another building to use a changing room that was in horrible condition with walls crumbling and had a repulsive smell of sewage. My 5 year old daughter is also not allowed to use the standard locker room facilities because she's not a member (kids are not allowed to be members therefore cannot use the bathroom even if parent is a member!). So during the middle of the 30 min lesson she needs to walk 5 minutes away wet and freezing to go to go use this terribly maintained bathroom even though there is a large nicely maintained one with plenty of stalls right next to the pool. This is one of the worst policies i have ever encountered.

Great family gym, offering various classes as well.
Best pool and one of the best gyms in the area
beautiful, everything you can ask for! ... but expensive
Beautiful gym, drawback is that the Campus Public Safety gives you parking ticket, urrg
Best athletic club in the area
This is a very large community pool with many lanes. It is a little old but well maintained. It is home to one of the largest Masters swim clubs in the Bay Area. Overall a good place to swim.

Large variety of cardio and weight machines. All equipment is in excellent condition and everything is kept clean. Easily best gym in the Bay Area.

I was a member here for a few years simply because it is very near to my home and work, but I cannot recommend this gym.
They have extremely sketchy business practices - they do not post the pricing online, they charge a high amount for joining (~$200-300) on top of high monthly fees (~$80/month for me with parking), they charge extra for parking when there is tons of empty space in the community college (~$12.50/month), and they have a very unfair policy of "not charging for usage" A.K.A. you will be fully billed even if you never set foot in the gym for a month or two.
There is no meaningful way to pause your membership because they still charge you 1/3rd pricing and your pause needs to be within a 2-6 month time-frame. If you cancel and rejoin later you will need to be the multi-hundreds of dollars for "registration fee" again. This is quite atypical for me in my gym-going experiences throughout life and I find it to be a very dubious, "strong-arm" tactic preying upon the mostly older/non-athlete crowd that this gym attracts.
The gym itself is so-so for people under 50. There is one squat rack but two smith machines. Three benches. No platform for deadlifting or olympic weightlifting although there are bumper plates. Lots of cardio equipment, including two rowing machines. The gym overall seems to have a focus on corrective training and rehabilitation for its more elderly clientele, which is absolutely fine if that's what you need.
This gym could be very convenient if you live in the area but it's overly-expensive cost (especially for something attached to a community center), it's sketchy business practices, and it's complete lack of flexibility in pricing/membership make it overall not worth the effort.
Love it here. The staff is great and the availability is great too. It's a great community. Downside is lack of Olympic weight lifting equipment, only 1 squat rack, no sauna. Great group fitness classes and great personal trainers. I can't wait until they have massage.
This place is amazing. My children participate in the the Summer Swim team and it is great. They get a great work out and have no pressure of being on a full time swim team. The practice time is after the summer camps so they can attend camps and then go to swimming practice. They can also attend the practice all week or skip as needed. The coaches are very experienced. I recommend it to all children.
My daughter also attended the Babysitting class and found it very comprehensive and fun.
Great Club, great equipments and great staff. I love this Place.
They have a very friendly staff. Teija is one of my fav. She introduced my to the pool and helped me with my swimming strokes. I highly recommend this place.
Perfect facilities for both gym and swim workouts.
