My experience at Orinda's Anytime Fitness continues to be outstanding in every possible way!…read more Renee has assembled a wonderful team who always greet me and make me feel like a valued gym member! I recently participated in Joti's "group boxing class" which exceeded my expectations. Even though I was the only woman in the class, I loved getting helpful tips from Joti as well from the male participants (in particular, Tom, Nick & Jonnie)! Joti made me feel right at ease! Like many of his Af counterparts, Joti is the "full package." He has flawless people skills, he is very knowledgeable about boxing, and he has a way of making the class a very positive learning experience -both for those who have prior boxing experience, and those (like me) with no prior boxing experience. I so enjoyed Joti's boxing class and I look forward to enrolling again very soon! In my opinion, what makes Renee's team so outstanding is the understanding that what separates the top performers (like AF) from the competition is a strong "relationship orientation" versus a "transactional approach!". Renee's wonderful team exemplifies this "relationship" orientation each & every day: Katee, traing mgr and Siobhan are very knowledgeable and are always upbeat & available for questions. Joti, Jonnie (sp?) and Antoine (all fairly new) also have flawless people skills, are equally knowledgeable and greet me every day; Jonnie and I have had multiple conversations about a healthy lifestyle as to diet & exercise, and Jonnie recently introduced me to Arnold Schwarzenegger's online newsletter which addresses the importance of a healthy lifestyle (many thx Jonnie!!). Last but not least, Stephen is also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to engage; Like his brother, Gershon, Gersavick (sp?) is extremely personable, he greets me every day AND he plays the best Michael Jackson tunes to work out to! The gym is always pristine- from the bathrooms, to the main gym floor and studio. The gym equipment is also well-maintained. Renee, thank you for assembling an outstanding team and for all that you do!!! Many thanks, Elizabeth

I really appreciate her taking the time to help me and making sure I got it back. I also have to mention how incredibly clean the women's locker room always is, especially when Maria is working. You can tell she really cares about keeping everything nice. Thank you, Maria, for being so helpful and for taking such great care of the members! It really makes a difference.

For example, she started me out with just the bar and I gradually got up to maxing out at 315 lbs for the first time.

I joined last year because even though 24 hour fitness was more affordable, the machines and building were just going down hill fast. The last straw was when I had a partially torn meniscus. I couldn't go up and down stairs but I still went to the gym for rehab and for upper body. Their elevator has been out of service for WEEKS. Essentially making it nearly impossible for me to workout if I needed to use the restroom or locker rooms at all. After this I looked through multiple gyms, pricing and their benefits and went with Anytime. I absolutely LOVE that I can go to any of the AF gyms. I've been to a few others and it's been great to hit the gym when I'm traveling or on vacation. Overall Pinole AF is clean, safe and I love that I never really have had to wait for a machine. Yes the gym is small, but it makes up for it by being one of the most hygienic places I've worked out in. Most of the time if someone is on a machine they never truly hog it and I'm able to get my workout done in the time I want. I'm grateful to have found AF Pinole!

Holy moly, what an amazing facility and workout! FitLab has been around for several months, but…read moreI've only heard about it recently through ClassPass. With zero ratings / new on ClassPass, I decided to sign up to try it out anyways, and it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. Coincidently enough, one of my former fave OTF coach worked out here, so more of a reason to try FitLab! I signed up for their Hybrid Engine class (HYDOX / DEKA training, etc.) for Monday 6AM, but I wanted to see the facility before a full on class so I wouldn't feel as lost, so I then signed up for "open gym" the day prior. Got there a few mins before it started, and I met Coach/Trainer Larry. He was superb! Larry gave us a nice tour around the facility and described the various machines and stations. He also showed us the amenities- bar, sauna, cold plunge. Amazing! He gave us a nice workout that day as well, focusing on DEKA and we utilized a lot of the stuff- rowing machine, air bike, dumbbells, ski erg, weighted balls, ski pulls/pushes, and more. We also did some body weighted exercises and stretches, as well as some outdoor run up and down the hill. After the workout, he showed us some other stations, more focused on Spartan races. Wow, so strong and inspirational! I had an amazing intro, and was looking forward to the actual class the next morning. Next morning quickly approached, and I was ready for the workout! It was the Hybrid Engine workout, and we did a warmup, then we were divided into groups and were told which stations to rotate around. Nice HIIT style workout focusing on items re HYROX and DEKA. We did some of the machines, some farmer carries, RAM burpees, med ball throws, sandbags, and more. Great intro to a lot of the exercises, and I really enjoyed it. Ended the workout with some dynamic stretching, and I tried the sauna and cold plunge for the first time in my life. Full facilities- locker room, showers, toilets, etc. Shared, which is fine by me. Looking forward to signing up for more classes!

Most all of the reviews are accurate. To summarize/add in my experiences:…read more Pros: Clean facilities. You see the janitorial staff constantly cleaning. Plenty of parking (at least after work). Free validated 2 hour parking Clientele are fairly considerate (they'll tell you they're only using one of the 2 cable towers. Ask you if you're using X attachment) Price (4th? cheapest option in the Bay Area behind 24 hour, planet fitness, and crunch) Transparent pricing (you pay first and last month dues and initiation fee, and then annual fee 2 Weeks later) Con The gym itself has a fairly small footprint. It gets pretty crowded during peak hours (e.g. post work rush) The after work crowd dies down around 9. Not a lot of TVS in the gym if you want to watch X sport during your work out. I think the only one is in the bathroom? Guest passes are a ruse. You sign up for one, and they'll you that they're not available for 2 months. But if you sign up on the spot, then suddenly you can get access to the gym. Sauna is perpetually broken Closes pretty early on weekends (8PM) and holidays (usually 4PM) Parking garage ramp is narrow, so might be tricky if you drive a larger vehicle
