Really, really nice place. Definitely a higher end gym. The young woman who is the manager there (Citlali) was really wonderful and sweet. She was amazing. She gave me a tour of the gym, told me about the things the gym offered and went over membership options and pricing. She was really helpful and understanding and patient with me. I did not sign up for a membership that day only because i could not afford the full sign up fee and i did not want to receive any discount. When i went back 2 weeks later to get signed up, i was helped by the same great manager and the sign up process was as simple, easy and convenient as i could ever hope for. My experiences both times at this Anytime Fitness were ideal and i really appreciate the woman that helped me.

He's honestly one of the best instructors I've ever had. It's also nice that the classes are included with the membership. The basketball court is awesome, and I really like how open and spacious the gym feels. The equipment is newer and updated, and they do a solid job keeping everything clean and well maintained. What stands out the most though is the community. The members are friendly, the staff are great, and it just feels like a welcoming place to work out. The only downsides are the hours. They're not open 24/7, they don't open very early, and there aren't multiple locations, which can be tough since I travel a little bit. Still, for me the positives easily outweigh the negatives.

I love the Y and appreciate the amenities available to the community. I have only one concern and…read moreit is that lifeguards do not enforce their basic rules for lap swim. In the last month alone, I have experienced 3 incidents where someone just suddenly appeared in my lane, in front of me while I was swimming. When swimming freestyle, you generally are looking down and if someone is suddenly in front of you, it is difficult to stop in time to avoid a collision. On each occasion, I questioned the person to ask, "where did you come from, how are you in this lane?" All of these swimmers seemed oblivious to the rules, 1: You enter at the deep end only, not in the middle of a lane from an adjoining lane. 2: You make visual or verbal contact with other swimmers when entering their lane and communicate if you're circle swimming or parallel swimming. 3: You never enter in the middle of a lane. I live in fear of a collision because I have 4 small plates holding my cervical spine in place. But the concerning thing to me, is where are the lifeguards. They are literally sitting and watching and never instruct these scofflaws. What are they doing? Another example was the woman doing a backstroke in the "Walking" lanes, literally colliding with bathers and continued even when she was asked to move over to a swim lane by others. I'm just going to say, an accident is bound to happen unless they clean this up, soon. Perhaps it isn't a responsibility of the lifeguards to monitor for these incidents, but I got scolded once for being "too fast," for a slower lane. Made me laugh because I hadn't swam in 5 years and felt it was appropriate for me to start there. So, I know the guards are monitoring something. Let's just hope nothing bad happens, I guess.

I'm extremely disappointed with how the Marin YMCA handled an issue with my paid locker rental…read more I have been paying for both my YMCA membership and a locker, even while I was on maternity leave and had not been able to go to the gym since January. I never froze or canceled my account, and I even recently upgraded my membership so my son could participate in Y Kids. When I returned, I found out that my belongings were gone from the locker I had been paying for. I was never given any notice, warning, email, or phone call that my locker would be emptied or that my items were at risk of being removed. This is especially upsetting because this is not the first time something like this has happened. When I followed up, I was told they looked for my items but could not find them. They offered to cover two months of membership dues as a "gesture of goodwill," but then later said they did not believe staff emptied my locker because no locker audits were conducted. That explanation does not make sense to me. The locker was locked, and access should have been limited to myself and YMCA staff. Since I was not at the gym and did not remove my belongings, there was no clear explanation for how my items disappeared. I paid for a locker with the expectation that my belongings would be secure. Instead, my belongings are gone, and the response I received felt dismissive and lacked accountability. I have since requested to cancel my locker rental. I've supported this YMCA through my paid membership, even during a period when I was not using the gym, so this experience has been incredibly disappointing. Members who pay for lockers should be able to trust that their belongings are safe and that they will receive proper notice and communication before anything is removed. I finally cancelled my membership!

For him, it'll take longer and regular access to a pool. Kathy was amazing from the start. She listened to what we were looking for, found a schedule that worked, and paired Levi with Coach Kaylei, who has been so patient and kind. He LOVES going to swim every weekend. Huge thank you, too, to Charlie, the club manager! Levi is sensitive to loud music, and Charlie offered, without us even asking, to turn the music off during Levi's 30-minute lesson. That small act made such a big difference. It means the world to find a place where our son isn't just accommodated, but genuinely welcomed. We're so grateful to the whole Bay Club Rolling Hills team.

My previous review was out of line and needed to be modified after I reread it. Not the intention I…read morewas trying to convey about the gym. I am wrong to make this about personal emotions and need to just state facts about the business. The gym is a bit small and tight knit, everybody is friendly. Jasha is the best. He's been doing this since he was a kid. 30 plus years of coaching under his belt. Clean equipment, water and ice available, sauna, all very nice. Can get a bit crowded on occasion. But that can lend itself to motivation. They also do a kids program, which I believe nobody else does here in Marin. Cool. Various programs with increasing benefits and coaching as the membership fee goes up, all very standard. Can get a key and come in on your own time if the morning or evening hours don't work for you, so that can be a good option. This gym is set up for competition, the programming is progressively set up to peak you on a certain day. They stress moving slow when beginning to prevent injuries and are very strict about techniques. Teaches proper form before just building brute muscle, so you can avoid injuries.
