Had an excellent guest experience here. I was visiting for a month and needed a gym. Scott was very kind and helpful with my guest membership. Clean, well-equipped gym. read more

I signed up for this gym about less than a year ago with all the hype from my friends who went here. After about 6 months, I felt like the quality of the equipment kept declining (out of service treadmills), lack of cleaning supplies once you are done on a machine, and lack of amenities in the women's locker room (hair ties, extra blow dryers, etc). I ended up cancelling my membership and won't be back anytime soon. read more

I really wanted to continue liking this gym, like I did when I first joined when they were new, but it's gone downhill. Price: It was great until they started hiking monthly prices regularly for the lower paying members ... Where are the upgrades that were mentioned in the increase notices? I hear new members are paying $59+ that's wild when they started out at $34 Space: let's be honest, the layout sucks. It's a strip mall, so for what they have to work with, it's the best they can do.... But it still sucks, everything is too close together, so when it's busy you feel like you're crammed into the space. The lighting makes EVERYONE look, not their best... it's just not flattering light and gives the worst migraines. Vibe: Always been good, not really an issue other than always packed and no windows other than watching people walk through the strip mall. Music is so loud you can hear it through your noise cancelling headphones. Amenities: Decent, sauna and steam room, multiple rooms to workout in. Pretty standard gym amenities. Also why is it always dirty, hair every where, dust bunnies in all the corners. Probably a personal preference, but I felt relieved when I finally cancelled accidentally.. I thought I paused it, but it was cancelled apparently.. Front desk has always been helpful with issues .. It just sucks when you don't look forward to working out at your gym anymore. read more

Before this gym was acquired by City Sports, which was not communicated with any prior notification at all to its original members, it was a clean, well maintained facility with knowledgeable staff, organized facility, and great classes. Under new ownership, machines are constantly out of service for months despite numerous attempts of notifying staff, classes on the turf are constantly interrupted by other gym goers without any regard to ongoing classes taking place, sanitation of lockers rooms is abysmal, and the gym is run by confused, college aged staff with horrible attitudes or any regard to customer service. Sorry to see 49ers fit go, but I would avoid this gym at any cost if you're looking to get an efficient and clean workout in. read more

My kid registered for this gym during the summer. He is going to college in a few days. He went to the gym 3 times in August to cancel the Gym membership, but the manager was not present. Today 9/10/2024 he was able to catch up with a manager there, but the office refused to cancel the plan unless he pays the fee for the next month. He was forced to pay it to get the membership canceled. The argument by the office manager was that you should cancel 10 days in advance. He asked to talk to the owner and was able to speak to Mr. Dan Baio, a general manager but who again rejected his request. I told my son to sign it and dispute through my credit card company. I don't advise people to use this gym. This is bad practice. PS: I just read the reviews from a few otger customers. My God, they are basically scamming people - people had difficulty to cancel the membership and their credit card was billed many months after the cancelation. The staff was rude. read more

Unfortunately, this gym no longer exists--it's now been taken over by City Sports. Since the change, things have slowly gone downhill. Several machines have been broken for quite some time, the restrooms aren't as clean as they used to be, and the AC doesn't run like it did back when it was 49er Fit. To make matters worse, members who originally signed up under 49er Fit are now paying more than City Sports' top-tier price. Overall, the quality has dropped significantly since the takeover. If you do decide to join, just be aware they require at least 10 days' notice if you plan to cancel. That said, the manager is friendly, the staff is welcoming, and in the end, the choice is yours. read more

Every NFL team needs one of these gyms. Besides being a great marketing machinese for the Niners, this gym is awesome. Great selection of equipment and spaces for all types of workouts. Also kept very clean. Locker rooms, showers are also decently well kept. Really great staff as well. They are generous allowing 3 day trials and reasonably priced. Excellent addition to the community here read more

Actual SCAM. Been going here on and off for a few years and finally decided to check out other gyms in the San Jose area. This gym provides little space comparitavely, high prices, and no ammendities. They have ridiculous cancelation/annual/sign up fees. My $60/month membership turned into $120 lump sum to cancel... To top it off, their sales department straight up lies to you when signing you up because they do not communicate the on the fly deals they create to aquire new customers with their management. I was told I would not have to pay my enrollment fee or the annual fee which is the whole reason I signed up, and their cancelation policy was never communicated to me once signing up. Now, because I canceled 9 DAYS before my next purchase, instead of 10, I have to pay all of the fees that I was promised to not have to pay. Oh but dont worry, I can still use this gym for the month I DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR... Ridiculous. read more

I've been training with Alan for almost a year now, and I have to say, he is truly one of the most experienced and committed trainers out there! When I first started with Alan, I was super nervous. I had a lot of bad experiences with trainers in the past who just didn't understand my needs, especially since I was extremely overweight at the time. But Alan put me at ease right away. He totally gets the struggles of starting a workout journey and being overweight because he's been there himself! I thoroughly enjoy having him as my trainer, and would recommend Alan to anyone looking to improve their fitness and get in the best shape of there lives read more

Attention 49ers Fit Members - you're all still paying $59.99/month while City Sports is selling memberships on line for $39.99 and $49.99 month. You need to cancel your memberships and re-sign. Definitely shady!! read more

Gym facilities are pretty good but the management is equally anti-customer. It's extremely difficult to freeze your membership for vacations. Till 2023 they allowed members to freeze membership for a month but then they changed it to minimum 2 whole months and instead of a flat charge during the freeze, increased it to 20% of monthly charges. The strategist behind this policy must be very smart, because even if you do need a 2 month vacation because the policy only allows for whole months, if you are going for example July 15 to Sept 15, you are technically away only for August but since the gym needs a minimum 2 months freeze, you won't be eligible to avail this freeze. Also, you can at most freeze for 6 months in a year, so I'm not sure who will be the people going for at least 3 months of vacation to be able to use this policy. This discourages people to pause it at all. Even if you end up finding yourself in a situation where you are eligible to freeze only one person is able to execute that. They don't work over the weekend so good luck with reaching them on time. I tried to pause my membership for 2 months, 10 days before the billing date but it was Saturday so authorized person was not working. The staff at the front desk asked me to meet them during the week between 10 to 5. Following Monday, 8 days before billing date, I met them and put my application for 2 months freeze, the form also noted the freeze billing date as 4/30 but I was still charged full amount for the next month. When I followed up to ask why, I was told because the paper work was filed on 4/22 I was not eligible for pause on 4/30. While the gym boasts an app to manage signup or cancellation for various classes and to view your agreement, the process to pause the membership is an ancient one where you have to fill a paper application. The barriers in this path are so high that other than the authorized person, no other staff will even give you the paper application. If I was provided the application for freeze on my first attempt itself, it could have been approved whenever the authorized person returned to work, but that would mean providing a customer friendly policy which this management is strictly against. read more

Bang Bang Niner Gang! If you don't know, I was born in NorCal. If you don't know, I am a lifetime Faithful. If you don't know, I like to workout. And if you don't know, now you know. One problem about traveling away from home or going on vacation is missing workouts. Missing workouts is not what we do. People look up places to eat when they travel. I research gyms. 49ers Fit is perfect. It's perfect because every inch of this gym will remind you of greatness. The walls, the flooring, the color schemes, the weights, and even the gym goers are Niner'd out. This gym is also stacked with some of my favorite commercial gym equipment including some of the older Hammer Strength equipment. I'm not a huge fan of the next generation Nautilus and the leverage-based Hoist equipment, but that stuff is here too. The gym has at least 5 deadlift platforms and power racking for squats, a few free-weight benches, tons of Niner themed DB's, and a lot of cardio equipment. My only compliant...one Leg Press?? This gym is spacious, includes a turf area, and by the front desk is their store. Don't sleep on recovery because this gym has an area for that too. The $20 guest pass is worth it. On a side note, some of the 49ers Gold Rush were here on one of our visits practicing their moves. Got Five? We Do! We Want Six!! Bang Bang Niner Gang!! 2023 Yelp Review #1 read more

Cancelling the gym membership from this gym is a nightmare. Cannot believe they have a prime spot in Saratoga only to fleece customers. There is a 10 step process to cancel your membership and one of it is to call their "headquarters" and you can be kept on hold for 30 mins. My very first fraudulent experience by a business in Bay area is 49ers fit. read more

Disappointing Customer Service Experience I recently had a very frustrating experience with 49ers Fit .I spoke to the front desk regarding an issue and unfortunately, the support I received was unhelpful.

I just joined recently. I went to cancel because i travel too much and they won't cancel without charging me the yearly fee even though its not within the 10 days of my cancellation so they are extending the account until June 13th of even though today is April 9th. RIDICULOUS read more

I've been a member at 49er Fit since June 2024, and overall, I absolutely love this gym. The place is spotless, the equipment is well-maintained, and the vibe is fantastic--members are friendly and respectful, which makes every workout enjoyable. Most of the staff is amazing too; the front desk crew is usually super helpful and welcoming, and I've got to give a special shoutout to trainer Christian. He's always going out of his way to help out, offering solid advice and making sure feels supported--total game-changer. That said, I've got to call out a frustrating experience with the manager, Amber. On February 28, 2025, I showed up for my usual session, and she was waiting at the desk to block me from entering because my account was flagged. I'd lost my credit card and was waiting on a replacement--something the front desk already knew about. I explained the new card was arriving that day, but Amber wouldn't budge and refused me entry until the payment was updated. It turned into a huge hassle--I had to drive 40 minutes each way to my bank in traffic just to sort it out and keep my routine. I get that policies exist, but a little flexibility or empathy would've gone a long way, especially for a regular who's been loyal for months. Despite that hiccup, 49er Fit is still a gem of a gym. The pros--like Christian's awesome support--far outweigh this one con, but I hope management can work on handling situations like this better. If you're looking for a clean, friendly spot to train, this place is worth checking out--just keep your payment info current to avoid any drama! read more

I still can't believe 49ers Fit is now dusty ass City Sports... I hate that for all of us who loved this gym and now are leaving because the quality of the gym is going downhill ...... all the members of City Sports who are now here lack serious gym etiquette! Are they allergic to re-racking / putting the weights back?! If I sound mad and irritated it's because I am! Anyways... yeah, this is some bullshit. read more

I'm going there for last 3 years it's clean plenty of experience equipment if one breaks down it will be fixed fast not like the one I used to go I have a trainer name Ralph Brooks for last 2 years he is doing great job always pushing me to work hard but at same time he also watching out not to do more that I can't handle Bottom Line the exercises that he tells me to do if I'm by myself will not do it and I always tell him and that's the best part of it even it's hard or part of being lazy read more

Amazing gym since I am a 49er fanatic. Been going here for 2 years now. I can literally write an essay about COACH MALA on how much of an impact she's had in my life. But point is COACH MALA has helped me lose weight in 3 months more than anyone else in the past year. And I will always be grateful for that.

Been at this gym for almost 2 years and I wouldn't recommend any other place. After switching from 24 Hour Fitness, I couldn't go back to other gyms. Staff (shoutout to Briana) is super friendly and helpful, if you have questions or need help with anything they will try their best to solve the issue for you. Trainers are super friendly as well, sometimes you will see them on the floor working out and they will answer some questions you ask. Facilities are always clean and equipment works well, some equipment needs a slight tune up but if you mention it to the front desk, they'll send the technician to take a look at it. The recovery portion of the premium membership is top notch, it really helps to have access to such a versatile recovery component. There are also many free classes that are always a hit throughout the week. It does get crowded though, peak hours are usually 3pm -7pm in weekdays and 10am-12pm on weekends. They do have an app to use for tracking workouts, signing up for classes etc but you can always call in and get help signing up. The policy for freezing memberships has changed over time since I've joined but if you ever have questions regarding that, the management is incredibly helpful in explaining your options and will help you find the option that maximizes your membership/money. read more

I've been struggling for years to find the right gym , the right routine , the right environment to start my weight lost journey. Growing up in high school I was an all star athlete playing soccer , years passed and I went from being 6'2 - 195 pounds to being 350 lbs at my worse. Thank God someone recommend me this gym and specifically coach Alan .

He understands completely the journey and the issues that us the over weight people struggling for years feel. I'm now at 295 lbs . He checks up with me constantly, ask if I need anything . He really cares how I feel . I haven't received training like this ever in my life . Im very grateful . Thank you coach Alan ! You are the very best ! read more

49ers Fit - My before and after thanks to coach Alan ! And I'm not done yet !! - Gyms Near Me - San Jose, California

My husband is a die-hard 49ers fan, so I became one, too. This gym has been on his bucket list ever since it opened and we finally were able to visit the last time we were in Santa Clara for a game last month. First off, if you are a 49er fan, you will want to stop by for a work out here. I believe the day pass was only $20 and it's worth it. Everything here has a 49er theme and the equipment is pristine. We were there on December 4th around 6:45am and it was not crowded at all. We were welcomed by a very friendly guy manning the front desk. There are tons of cardio machines, lots of free weights, and all the equipment you'd expect in a great gym. The walls have pictures of 49ers players and coaches with motivational quotes to get you pumped. 49ers Fit also offers hydro massage chairs, which my husband and I got to try. They were next-level! As with other gyms, there are products available to purchase and of course they're all 49er-related. We snagged some that were on sale. Overall, I'd highly recommend this gym and I know we'll be back when we're in town again. Bang Bang Niner Gang! read more

Pros: ・Open till late night ・Many machines and some small activity rooms Cons: ・Special day - cut their business hours and notify us only in the gym in 2 or 3 days advance without email and on app. ・Warning - recently, they "WARN" us they are closing in 1 hour or 30 mins. not "inform" or "notify" ・Cleanness - many hairs in each shower room and paper and dust anywhere ・Quality - paper quality goes bad recently ・Treadmills - missing parts and some machines are under the maintenance more than 2 weeks ・Sauna room - some people wear her sandals on the wood someone hangs her towels near the heating area which seems like sanitation is really bad ・Front staffs - mostly, they are chatting with their colleague with no greeting to us ・Personal trainer - cancelled my session due to his family issue in the session day and no reschedule even though I asked him read more

If you like big gyms, this is a great option. It is new (3 years), very clean, well maintained with all the possible machines and equipment you would need. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They only have this one location and I wish they open up more. They are definitely better than the other chains. Though the branding limits it to the Bay Area. They have also a cool machine that measures and scores your flexibility and form by analyzing you when you do squats. Big + for the sauna and recovery equipment. I wonder how the staff and patrons would react if I go in wearing Raiders gear...Hmmm read more

This place is FANCY! The minute you walk in you go "woah". They have all the traditional gym equipment but also offer a ton of different group exercise classes. I came for the Training Camp class with Candice and it was great. There was a ton of people in the class which was great because for this being my first time doing this kind of workout I would have been super uncomfortable in a small group plus even though you're on the turf, you're still out in the open so everyone else working out can see you. The class was great and so was Candice. Everyone was really nice too from the front desk to everyone else in the class. I've been looking for things to add to my mundane gym routine to spice it up and I would definitely consider looking into a membership here instead. read more

Good gym but given that most people workout with headphones and their own music, WHY does the gym music need to be SO LOUD?!

You don't need to be so obnoxious. read more

DO NOT go here. Unless you want to MARRY THEM FOREVER. There are other reviews too that find it impossible to cancel their services. If you go for a PT session, those guys are independent contractors. So even if they are helpful DO NOT buy in with these money vampires. I mean life happens you need to not go here anymore then what? They don't respond to email cancellations. They hang up on you on call saying "WE CAN'T CANCEL ON CALL". If you go and see the front desk about cancellation, they look at you like you have the AIDS. There is one single human person in the front desk and if you talk to her, others interrupt HER and YOU and give you the stinkeye (for cancelling? I mean what the frook?) You can't report them to the credit card company because they change their name and will re-post those charges that you THOUGHT you cancelled with them IN-PERSON. When this whole package was sold to me, the sales people will tell you that contracts are regular docs (they are not). And if you change your mind they will help you. (they certainly DON'T). Oh, Dan and Chris, if you are back from your lunch while I was asked to wait for you (fortunately I didn't), hope you get to this review sometime in your lifetime. If my email, my multiple in-person visits and my BBB complaint was not enough to tell you, let this review be the final reminder that I am NOT interested to come back to 49ers. LEAVE ME AND MY CARD ALONE!!! FROOK YOU!! read more

As I was looking for a gym to sign up with as we moved out of COVID-19 restrictions I looked into several local and chain gyms. I then went to 49ers Fit and was assisted by Daniel Baio. He was a pleasure to work with. I work in sales and I can be very particular about the level of service I receive from a sales associate and Daniel delivered. The gym itself is huge and has a great selection of equipment all of which is in great shape. The gym is clean and well laid out with some great amenities. I love that you can get a membership that includes massage chairs, NormaTec recovery compression, and cryotherapy. The gym does get busy at the normal gym rush hours but there is still plenty of equipment to get your work out in. All the team members are friendly and helpful. I have not take any of the classes yet but some of them are popular so sign up early to reserve your spot. read more

As of today, no refund to my credit card. I am astonished to read the similar experiences the other formal members had with this gym. Each case, they use different tectique. But one thing common is the charges even after multiple request to cancel membership. I have also reported this gym to BBB and saw same complaints of membership issue. I will keep monitoring the refund process. Be careful when you sign your membership with 49ers. read more

49ersfit has awesome and friendly staff and good equipment to usw, highly recommend this gym for anyone, beginner or advanced!

I still remember my first intro session with Alan after my wife encouraged me to meet him. Within the first 10 minutes of just walking around the gym, Alan pointed out issues with my back, legs, and previous injuries--without me saying a word. I was blown away by his expertise. Since then, Alan has been an incredible support, always available to answer my questions. I've gone from deadlifting 150 lbs to 300 lbs and am now in the best shape of my life. After years of struggling to stay consistent, I've been training regularly for 9 months, and much of the credit goes to Alan. He's truly transformed my fitness journey! read more

This review is for Coach Alan Mascareno. I started personal training with him since January 2024 to recover from old injuries due to an auto accident. From my first session with him, he demonstrates his knowledge in recovery as he takes a different approach compared with other coaches. We've been making slow but gradual progress where my back is getting stronger. I appreciate that he listens to my concerns and has a methodical approach to his training. He's also observant of his clients, which gives me reassurance as I've been concerned about exasperating my old injuries. read more
