I grew up playing at The Bladium since I was 4 years old with lil kickers. I played with the Bay…read moreOaks and SJND for indoor footie and played with my AAU basketball team in this facility. So many memories, like winning a state championship and rock climbing with my friends. The Bladium was an experience: to drink, to play sports, to work out, to have fun. I recently came back after finishing college, just to find the main football field and a majority of the weight room gone to pickleball. At first, I did not mind, however, it feels like the only people who come in are pickleball players. Its sad to see my friend's old family business being made into a pickleball center. Even the new company's logo shows where their priority is at. Heartbreaking to see. I will always remember the sounds the floorboards made.

I feel like their behavior is dishonest misleading and indicating a lack of integrity. The first time I join for one month trial they had a new year promotion so I join Jan 06 and immediately they charge me extra , after calling the front desk few times , they said the promotion was over yesterday (they forgot to mention it when I signed in ) , I talked with Luz (one of the managers )and she agreed to return the extra fees and I asked to cancel the membership at the spot . I didn't see the refund and after calling again , they said it's a credit for next month , I said again , I don't want to be here another month , please cancel my membership, they said yes and now they charge me again . I needed to send them email just to confirm the call and they still charge me again I spend so many hour talking with them about the issue and then like nothing happens. I was there 3 times and for charge over $300 already . Such a rip off If u decide to join them , take a lawyer with u because they will nail you with secret charges all over the place . Very disappointing

Pulled up to The Hub Sports Club in Alameda and honestly... this place is solid…read more Came through with my guy Nate to check it out, get some runs in, and shoot a little content. Right away you can tell this place is well run. The energy is welcoming, the staff actually cares, and the community vibe is real -- competitive but still friendly. Pickleball-wise, it's stacked. 8 indoor courts that are clean, permanent, and play great, plus 7 outdoor courts if you want fresh air. Runs are organized, people know how to play, and they're always hosting tournaments and competitive events, which I really appreciate as someone who plays a lot. Outside of pickleball, the gym setup is legit. Full cardio and strength equipment, unlimited group classes like yoga, barre, and more. Locker rooms are clean, with showers, sauna, and steam room -- clutch after long sessions. Pro shop is fully stocked and the staff is always down to help with gear or questions without being pushy. Small thing but funny -- they even added a ping pong table, which kinda says everything about the vibe here. Functional, fun, and community-first. If you're in the Bay and serious about pickleball, fitness, or just want a spot that's run right with good people, The Hub Alameda is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

I joined almost 3 months ago The staff at the entrance are…read morealways friendly & welcoming. I am new to joining a gym and as a senior, I hoped for a positive outcome, and not feel intimidated or like I "didn't belong" I felt very welcome, I've taken a few classes that have been beneficial for me. One is for posture & strengthening. The instructor is fabulous, knowledgeable and makes our workouts fun. I thoroughly enjoined a class called "just breathe" very relaxing and uses the "Alexander Technique" but now the wonderful instructor is on maternity leave and we look forward to her return. There is currently a sub but I haven't had a chance to go back. I'm learning to use the equipment at my own pace. There are several rooms with different equipment and I never feel pressured by someone else needing the one I may be using. I bring my own container of disinfectant wipes, since not everyone is conscientious about wiping their equipment after they're done using it. And I'm fine with using my own, even though each room does provide a spray bottle and small towels are available at the front desk. I bring my own mat to the classes, but they have them at the front desk if you need to borrow one. The best for me personally is the use of the indoor pool ! I have never enjoyed using a pool anywhere until I joined this gym. I've tried two different classes. One is Gentle Aqua & another one is Aqua Cardio. Both instructors have different times depending on the day of the week . Both ladies are fabulous! The hours suit my needs perfectly. The ladies locker room is always immaculate. Shout out to Maria who is there Monday - Friday She keeps the locker room, freshly clean, always wiping down the wet floors as we come back from using the pool. She is very kind and welcoming, and we appreciate her so much! And lastly, the Manager, Edward was very kind and welcoming. He gave me a nice tour of the gym. I was a bit uncertain that joining a gym was the right thing for me to do. He gave me information on trainers that they work with to help me along with my journey. My friend and I joined together & we are pleased with our decision to join. He remembers our names and greets us personally every time we see him. Overall we recommend this facility, especially as a Senior citizen, we truly feel we belong

My experience at this spa and fitness center at 2:10 PM was extremely upsetting. The staff member…read moremade me feel rushed and uncomfortable right after the service ended. She insisted I leave immediately and did not give me even a few minutes to get dressed in privacy. I felt my personal space was completely ignored, and her behavior came across as aggressive and disrespectful. My personal items were also handled carelessly and ended up on the floor, which made the situation even worse. When I tried to address the issue, the manager, Fox Memon, was not helpful at all. Instead of listening or showing any understanding, he defended the staff and tried to shift the blame onto me. He even threatened to report me to their insurance company because I had my child with me--something I was never informed was against their rules. I only come once or twice a month, and no one has ever explained this policy before. Because I felt unsafe and disrespected, I reported the incident to the Alameda Police Department so there would be official documentation of what happened. Based on how he handled everything, I honestly feel that Fox Memon does not suit a manager position, as his response made the situation even more stressful instead of resolving it professionally. Overall, I left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and unsupported. I do not recommend this place and hope they seriously improve how they treat their customers.

In 2022, I was looking for a trainer who could help me build up strength in my knees and also teach…read moreme how to lift weights with the correct form! My non-negotiables in identifying a trainer were someone who knew the different muscle groups and variations of exercises, made me feel safe, was patient, would challenge me, and supported my fitness goals. Impact Fitness and the trainers, Liam and Ed, embody all those characteristics! On my first day, I could not lift a trap bar because of my form and general weakness in my knees. I was also unable to jump up and land on both of my feet or even crouch down in a squat without it being super uncomfortable. Each day, Liam was incredibly patient with me and celebrated all the little wins with me as my knee progressively got stronger. Liam also encouraged me to seek physical therapy and took time to incorporate some of my physical therapy exercises into the exercises that I was doing in the training. Fast forward to August 2025, I can easily do four sets of 192 lbs on the trap bar and maxed at 205 lbs. I can now squat while holding a 40lb dumbbell, and be confident in the strength of my knees. I also learned how to do different variations of different exercises to accommodate my height and relative flexibility. If you are wondering if this is the place for you, I would say BIG YES if: 1) You want to be in a safe and empowering gym where folks encourage you to push harder but also celebrate the big wins 2) New to strength training and do not know where to start 3) Have goals to improve muscle weakness and learn how different exercises work different muscle groups 4) Looking for a space that does not have "gym bro" culture that is centered on supporting people reaching their optimal health Overall, I love this place and am so grateful to both Liam and Ed for being excellent trainers. I included a video of the inside of the gym, which is always kept clean, and they provide complimentary sweat towels, a filtered water station, and bathrooms. Truly a gem! *Important note: I was enrolled in the semi-private class with 2-3 people per group. I have also taken the group class, which was great!*

Even though it's a group setting, you're grouped with others who are able to lift similar weight brackets as you. Even though everyone is sub grouped, everyone is still encouraging each other on their last rep!!!! Got the chance to meet Coach Ed as well!! Just everyone has been great! I truly believe this is the best space to practice consistency because it truly promotes community and encouragement. This is such a diverse group of people on different stages of fitness. Safe space to get familiar with equipment. Extremely pleased with my progress and excited to continue!!! Thank you Impact!!!

Ahh home gym review time. If you don't have the premium membership you only get to use one gym, if…read moreyou he it you pick a home gym and visit others as well. I've used this place as my home gym since 2022, despite the neighborhood I like the place. It is always clean, the staff is friendly and quite honest about how things work (when I vent about other locations). Yes parking is a bit crowded at times but it's ok just park by the McDonald's. Most times when things break they are good to fix things, you find street art every now and then, but for the challenges it has the staff is always on top of their game. I don't give them 5/5 just because it is my home gym, I find this place as a place that's good to train whoever is serving the community by working at this location.

However, I was disappointed to see that starting October 3rd, the gym will no longer be open 24/7, except Tuesday through Thursday. For many of us who work irregular schedules, late-night or very early morning workouts are the only realistic option. Having 24-hour access every day of the week was one of the main reasons I joined Planet Fitness in the first place--it made the membership truly flexible and accessible for everyone, no matter their schedule. I hope management will reconsider and bring back 24-hour access throughout the entire week. It's one of the things that makes Planet Fitness stand out, and it's important for members who rely on those hours to stay consistent with their fitness goals.

Let me tell you something. I don't vouch for places often, but the StretchLab and assisted…read morestretching should absolutely be a thing. I'll get back to why I said "should" a little later. I walked in for my 12:00pm appointment and the place was pretty much empty, aside from the attendant at the desk who happen to be who would be stretching me. Estrella introduced herself, asked me to sign my waiver, and walked me over to the assessment tablet. Before laying down to start my stretches, I asked that she rewipe the table (can never be too careful) and she did it without any issue. Thank you for that. She was so easy going and very informative about muscle groups, necessary stretches needed to loosen me up, etc. Once we got into it, the stretching was amazing (as was the conversation) and the information she gave me about my own body. She was putting me in stretches that I've never done and when it was all over, my body felt so good. Now things I didn't like: The place being empty made me waaaaaaay more comfortable because the openness can be a bit off-putting for some of the stretches/conversations. Shortly after getting started another customer came in and it went from peaceful to hearing his conversation about his body with the other attendant. I also didn't like that Estrella had to keep stopping to help walk-ins asking about services. That was a bit distracting during my session. The massage "waiting" chair being stationed right next to the table where my stretch was taking place was a bit of an issue too. When other clients walked in, she offered them the chair, but it was so close to us. It made me a little uncomfortable and a little more reserved in conversation. Nevertheless, it was a good experience. I was able to get in on an introductory price of $79.00. After my stretch was done, Estrella spoke to me about the benefits of continuing my stretches and about purchasing membership/subscription options - all at a higher price. I honestly believe $79.00 is the perfect price for this service, especially in this economy. The membership/subscription options are pretty expensive and why I said it "should" be a regular thing, but feels like more of a luxury that you must decide whether you need or not. Overall, it was a great experience I'm still on the fence on whether I'll buy a membership/subscription, but I have recommended quite a few people try it out.
