City doesn't at all, In Shape does, Planet does if you have a Black Level membership). 4) they actually use the annual membership fee to make improvements to the club (City just pockets it to their bottom line. city hasn't bought any new equipment since they opened in 2020). 5) they have a turf area that anyone can use with plenty of an wheels, foam rollers and an adequate number of mats and kettle balls. Factors that stop me from giving them 5 stars... it's VERY busy during rush hour (Monday-Thursday). Weekends are reasonable. There's too many folks filming and trying to be fitness influencers. The Zumba class music is too loud and with the door open (just like City Sports), but to be fair, the manager has tried to fix this. If cardio equipment is important to you, City Sports & Planet have a lot more.

I've been going to this gym for the past few years- it's got a lot of pros, but some serious cons…read morethat are making me consider cancelling my membership and trying out another gym altogether... Let's start with the pros. PROS: super reasonable pricing, especially for everything you get. Friendly & helpful staff. Love that they have a turf area as well as a studio/ mirrored area for classes, and it's good extra floor space when classes aren't in session. Nice that they have a sauna, red light therapy, tanning booth, hydromassage, and IN Body scan available. Good range of equipment/ plate loaded machines, squat racks, cardio machines, TRX, you name it. CONS: Here's what's making me reconsider my membership... the bathroom cleanliness is pretty unbearable. It's always been pretty dirty but I've been able to suck it up and tolerate it. Within the past month, I've started to notice black mold in the showers (unmistakably- it's fuzzy and everything), moldy and smelly shower curtains, wads of hair that don't get moved for weeks (indicating they're clearly not cleaning), and yesterday there were little black bugs on the shower floors that sort of looked like small black silverfish? The mats outside of the showers finally got cleaned a couple months ago, but they're starting to get that soapy/ moldy build up again. The sauna floor is extremely dirty as well and I'm not sure how often they clean it... makes me worry what we're breathing in. They also don't have any recycling bins despite California law and all of the cans and plastic they accumulate. :( These concerns have been brought up internally numerous times by many members of the gym and nothing seems to be improving. I'm super bummed because I otherwise love the gym, but I just need to keep my health and safety in mind. I shower here every morning before work and I don't want to be breathing in black mold... Hope they do something soon- it's a serious health code violation at this point.

I signed a waiver, which felt weird for something like that. Now I know why. Their shoddy equipment was set up in a low spot in the grass and was so unstable they had a staff member sit on it to keep it from tipping. There was also a bolt sticking out of the front. See attached photo for what a real vertical jump tester looks like (notice no bolt sticking out). When I jumped, I stepped forward slightly (not a run, there was barely room to move), and when I landed, that bolt sliced my pants and left an 8-inch cut up my thigh. I sat down at my booth, clearly injured. Two strangers came to check on me. Pike Fitness staff? Nothing. They saw me sit down, saw I was hurt, and completely ignored it. Later, I passed by their booth and mentioned I'd been cut. They acted like it was no big deal. Now they're responding saying I "ran and launched" myself and refused their help. Total lie. I stepped, I jumped, I got hurt, and they didn't care. They can try to blame me all they want, but their setup was dangerous and their staff was careless. A waiver doesn't excuse negligence. If this is how they operate in public, I wouldn't trust them inside a gym either. Avoid Pike Fitness.

You need to do this asap and specify freezes on all services. If you have Kids Klub, END IT. I went to Vivian who was there the last time I had an ER visit a couple years ago: this past December, I was injured again suddenly on site during a training appointment (due to my body/health situation, not my trainer or an exercise injury) and I let her know I was getting a ride to the ER this time instead of an ambulance, since it was a was a touch less urgent. She was responsive this day and seemed to enter the freezes correctly. I dropped off the first note 2 days later to support a freeze for a couple months since a major surgery would get scheduled. I was told I had an 8" growth and cancer in my blood and had to wait the entire winter holidays for further info until doctors were back in the hospital. A few weeks later the billing began... I called Vivian and mentioned my bank was informed of my condition and knew to not pay the bills until a certain date. She laughed and said I'd be billed later anyways. I felt like "I have cancer again, I could die this time with this huge growth. She's laughing at me." I know it was not personal, but forgive me, I'll never forget the feeling of thinking I might die and getting this is the response while asking for help. My health is poor after surviving breast cancer treatments in 2020 and they wrecked parts of my body but eradicated an aggressive form of breast cancer. I don't want to go into how bad the type is, but the odds are very bad with that type and they use the highest doses of their most aggressive chemo to eradicate the cancer. That's why I struggle and have gone to the ER twice in a couple years. But working out improves my condition, so it's essential. I'm so glad I found out a few days later that the current ER test was a misdiagnosis. I eventually received a big surgery, recovered and called in to sort out the bills that were waiting for me. Because I was experienced in navigating the disorganized billing practices, it was a smaller bill this time. I reached a teleservice rep who had her manager Mark look into it and it was fixed after 3 phone calls for a full refund. I know it's not personal. But I've decided that clearly this is not customer service at all. This is just workers, protecting themselves and the company and you just have to advocate super quick, do the footwork and calls and take notes, document, stay on it, trust nothing, stay positive and confirm and be persistent. Most businesses exhibit hospitality and customer service at an average level. Often if a medical incident occurs you'll get a compassionate response and excellent customer care. Not here, you will get compassion at first and solutions that fall through. Then they will lose confidence and be strained but still attempt to help. Eventually, it requires an escalation and manager intervention to correct the situation. The in-gym customer service experience will be good about situational things like everyday interactions. But if your issue has ANYTHING to do with billing, there is no safety net no matter how serious your medical situation. Had I only had a normal membership instead of a training membership too, I probably could have just canceled or never been the wiser. I'm actually hopeful no one ever has to experience this zone that they are weak at. But if you do, stay flexible, positive, and stay on it. Good luck and good health! I saw billing fees,

At this point I'm wondering what's with the attitude and arrogance. Then she also proceeds to say I'm the only one there anyway.

It's adjacent to Larkey Park, so if the shared parking lots get full, you'll find plenty of free street parking. The pool itself is divided into several section - beginners (3.5 to 4.5 feet max depth), diving, and for lap swimming. They have lifeguards everywhere and they do a fine job of maintaining order. The water temperature was perfect. Our 5yo son seems to have a natural inkling for water but he enjoyed the pool far more than the splash pad, which is also popular with young kids. I tried carrying him up on the water slide but he refused. Note: for taller folks, they have a pretty intense water spray on top of the slide that can blind you.

There's also a public beach that attracts a lot of locals, obviously the main draw here. Perhaps because it's located within a standard suburban residential neighborhood, the park doesn't feel quite as lush as the Contra Costa side, but you get a clearer view of the bridge since there are several grassy promontories with their own spur trails. The park melts into the Benicia State Recreation Area which offers its own rocky shoreline and eastward views toward Martinez.

I became addicted after the first workout and I have become a stronger more confident disciplined self! Arriving at the gym by 5am. Berto the trainer is amazing. An inspirational motivator who will challenge you beyond what you thought you could possibly do, as well as knowing when to be compassionate. He has taught me so much about food and health in regards to creating a balanced mind, body and soul! Thank you for this wonderful place to workout in Vallejo with a great team, where after my workout I feel truly accomplished for the day! read more

I have been a member to this gym for about 8 years now. Berto and Kelley have always been welcoming, caring, respectful and professional. Even when I'm absent for awhile, the staff is welcoming and happy to see me return. Elev8 is not just another gym, it is a community. One of my memories is during the covid-19 lockdown, Berto went above and beyond to make sure we continued with our fitness program offering classes online and letting us borrow some equipment to be able to follow from home. He continued developing strategies to make sure we could have some sort of "normalcy" in our daily routines. Berto's passion with fitness and nutrition comes through in his training. The gym is an inclusive space where we are welcome no mater what fitness level we have. Going to Elev8 makes me happy. Thank you Berto and Kelly! read more

This by far has been one of the most difficult, but most rewarding things i've ever done!! The 6 weeks Challenge was something I thought I could do, but had my doubts...and after 6 weeks I am so proud to say I DID! Elev8 definitely gave me the tools, support and push that I needed to get back on track and not only did i make goal of 20 lbs, but I exceeded by 5 more. I lost a total of 25 lbs in 6 weeks and I feel GREAT. Kelly, Berto and all the staff are just wonderful... always supportive and willing to train. Even other members step in when needed. Definitely life changing and most definitely something I will be doing again. I highly recommend this to anyone that thinks its not possible! I was one of those people...and look at me now... 25 lbs lighter :-) THANK YOU ELEV8!!! read more

My husband and I have been attending Elev8 for two years now, and it's the best decision we have ever made. Berto and Kelly are excellent trainers. very dedicated and knowledgeable in the fitness field. Kelly is really nice and always makes me feel welcomed, Berto has helped me a lot with my nutrition and has taught me how to make my fitness journey easier. He always answers all my questions and pushes me to get out of my comfort zone. In addition to strength training they have Sudamix, a fast-paced cardio class, which is very fun with a live DJ as well! Elev8 is an energetic and safe place to get in shape. I highly recommend Elev8 and its trainers to anyone who is looking to start their fitness journey read more

I have to say Elev 8 has changed my outlook on making better choices towards a healthier life! I have tried different gyms and none have motivated me as much as this one. From day one I felt the amazing vibe all the beautiful people put out! Everyone is so friendly and seeing alot of transformations of the men/women totally inspire me. Berto the Ower/Trainer has enough energy to assist anyone that attends his class whether your new or have been there a while!! This gym honestly has the feel of home with the benefits a life DJ, support from other members and enough classes to meet my needs! read more

Elev8 is the most amazing gym I've ever been too. For the two years I've been there it was been such a great and fantastic experience. The coach there is super helpful when it comes to training. That gym has helped me reach my goal of losing weight, as well as helped me feel welcome, feeling that I can depend on them because they are my family! Definitely recommend going here! You will never regret it! It is so much fun, the vibe there is just amazing, the amount of fun everyone has is great, the music there is just amazing, the workouts are great too! It's my home away from home read more

I've been a member of several gyms, I started a 6 week challenge at elev8. With the challenge you get special classes and a nutrition plan. I successfully finished the challenge getting excellent result. I decided to do a second challenge which a bit tougher than the first one but with the help of Kelly and Berto i was able to loose a total of 44lbs. Elev8 is great gym, you will find a new family. Everyone greets you and talks to you, it's like a small community! I'm glad I found this place! Totally recommend it!!! read more

My experience at Elev8 has been excellent. Berto and Kelly have helped me a lot in this new phase. Every day, my strength level increases, and my diet has changed a lot with Berto's help and his nutritional knowledge. I really like the gym's energy and how inclusive they are. The place is clean and very well-organized, the atmosphere is very friendly, and we're all like a little family. I 100% recommend this gym if you want to make a positive change in your life and your body. read more

I really did try and like this place because my co worker lost weight but it just feels crowded and very fast paced. I wish their location was not so far away because it takes so long to get there.

When I started the fundamentals he explained everything in the level where my brain and body can and will understand all the moves and techniques in order for me to move on and join the group. He is very knowledgeable not only in the field of CrossFit but also in the anatomy and physiology of the human body. Before joining CrossFit I was a bit scared and felt intimidated thinking that only "buff" athletic people are the one who joins CrossFit and they might make me feel out of place but I was wrong. At Redux CrossFit Vallejo everyone is very welcoming and friendly! Friendly to a point that you will feel like some of them are already family. My number one concern before was child care, after doing my research no CrossFit around my area offers daycare but at Redux CrossFit Vallejo everyone is welcome to bring their kids. The kids play in front of the area were we do our workout and all the mom and dad help each other eyeing the kids. The area is a big sports complex, somedays the kids play inside the soccer field area with only 3 exits that are located in front of the workout area. Don't worry they are safe! (Just bring snacks for them ). Workout hours start as early as 5 am and the latest is at 6:30 pm. Aside from the head coach Dave, there are 3 more coaches that teach around the clock, different days for the whole week Monday thru Saturday. "Stop saying tomorrow" call Dave and join today for a healthy future!

However, I did not join this facility. Class: The instructor was motivating and the cardio sculpt class really made me feel the burn. I came on a Wednesday night (the last class) it was fairly empty - I think everyone comes for the kickboxing since I came early to sign up (no one was at the front desk so I just awkwardly watched for 15 minutes). Some thoughts I had: It's not your average gym, there are weights and equipment in the back but I'm not sure if it's open to everyone of just those taking private lessons. The main area is a large open cardio floor great for group workouts which is what it is. Most people workout barefoot or with indoor/solely for the gym kind of shoes only. Not sure if I am a personal fan because it seems unclean/dangerous if a weight is dropped on the foot. As a transformation gym, I was interested in kickstarting my health and getting toned.- possibly even their bikini comp programs - I thoroughly checked the website and was interested in their nutrition program especially as well. I stayed after the class and had the opportunity to meet Mark. Nice guy but when I asked him about the programs and he just kept telling me to look on the website which didn't provide much information about their nutrition format or how the body tracking/goal setting works. I really wanted to love this place and was ready to sign up right then and there but didn't feel like I would get the support I was looking for just based on my first interaction. I signed up with Orange Theory instead.

I had scheduled appts for "new member orientation" and "design your own program" online for my first workout day. I received emails confirming my enrollment for these sessions, and even got reminder emails the day before my appts. When I arrived, I was helped by Jeremiah at the front desk. He very nicely informed me that the trainer that was supposed to lead my appts was no longer working there. There was nothing to be done to change that, but it would have been helpful if I had been informed ahead of time that the appts weren't going to happen, as I'd had to change plans around in my day to accommodate these scheduled appts at the gym. I hope the class schedule will be corrected to reflect when there is and isn't staff available.

Curious as I was I decided to check it out and sure enough the Planet Fitness is at the old 99 cent store location. Everything at this gym is brand new new. All the equipment are new, flooring and restrooms all brand new new. I spoke to the lady up front and she said they just opened up two weeks ago. On a Sunday it's not bad over here was not too crowded. They have pretty much everything they do at the Sonoma location but I feel like this location is just a bit smaller. The one thing I noticed that they have got the Springs Town location that they don't have on Sonoma is the the CryoLounge. This is a machine that can both freeze off one part of your body, while heat up another part which is great for targeting certain muscle pains. Trust me, this machine can get really cold! Overall it was a nice experience checking out this new location. Hopefully it will thin out the crowd at the Sonoma location a bit because that location be packed sometimes M-F especially after everyone gets off work.

I signed a waiver, which felt weird for something like that. Now I know why. Their shoddy equipment was set up in a low spot in the grass and was so unstable they had a staff member sit on it to keep it from tipping. There was also a bolt sticking out of the front. See attached photo for what a real vertical jump tester looks like (notice no bolt sticking out). When I jumped, I stepped forward slightly (not a run, there was barely room to move), and when I landed, that bolt sliced my pants and left an 8-inch cut up my thigh. I sat down at my booth, clearly injured. Two strangers came to check on me. Pike Fitness staff? Nothing. They saw me sit down, saw I was hurt, and completely ignored it. Later, I passed by their booth and mentioned I'd been cut. They acted like it was no big deal. Now they're responding saying I "ran and launched" myself and refused their help. Total lie. I stepped, I jumped, I got hurt, and they didn't care. They can try to blame me all they want, but their setup was dangerous and their staff was careless. A waiver doesn't excuse negligence. If this is how they operate in public, I wouldn't trust them inside a gym either. Avoid Pike Fitness.

That worked great for a while but we found that once we were not on the schedule with a trainer it became harder and harder to find someone who was working with a client so we could use the gym and a lot of the time we would have to rush our way through a workout or cut it short because the trainers were leaving.
