Elev8 is hands down the best training facility around. I was completely new to going to the gym and…read moreI was honestly a little intimidated--but that quickly changed when I began training with Berto at ELEV8. Everyone at the gym pushes you to do your best both physically and mentally. One thing I really appreciate about Elev8 is how clean and maintained everything is. The space is very well organized and the gym is constantly playing the best music -- which makes it a super fun and motivating environment to train in. You can tell they take pride in creating a professional yet fun welcoming environment. Thanks to Elev8, I have a place to get stronger, & become more confident in the gym than I ever imagined!

I started coming here when I was 16 and recently decided to return, genuinely hoping to have a good…read moreexperience. Unfortunately, I left very disappointed. In my experience, this is a place where you either feel like you belong or you don't. There were times I felt judged, uncomfortable, and honestly more bullied than supported. There was also an interaction when I first came back that made me uncomfortable. The owner asked how I had been after all these years, and during the conversation I mentioned that I now have a son. He asked how old my son was, and when I said he was 6, he made a snarky comment along the lines of, "You should have come back sooner." I found that comment very inappropriate and unnecessary, especially considering the personal circumstances and years of my life that had passed since I was last there. It immediately contributed to the feeling that I was being judged rather than welcomed back. The membership situation was ultimately the final straw. I completed the 3-month agreement I originally signed up for and immediately communicated that I did not want to continue. I was not trying to cancel early or get out of an agreement. The 30-day cancellation policy only came up when we discussed going month-to-month after my original 3 months had ended. Being charged for a fourth month on something I understood to be a 3-month agreement clearly indicates that there was a lack of clarity somewhere. What made the situation worse was how the owner responded when I questioned the charge. I found his responses disrespectful and condescending. I was reminded about the discount I had received, and my mom was brought into the conversation simply because her card was on file. At some point, I believe a business should be able to communicate respectfully with the actual member regarding their own membership. I supported this business, paid my membership, and chose to come back after years away. I never expected special treatment, but I did expect basic respect and clear communication. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled left me feeling like my business was valued more than my experience as a member. Definitely not the way I expected things to end

Perfect for those who don't prefer large, busy gyms with lots of people and noise. Family owned, clean, state of the art equipment, intimate but spacious with all the equipment you would need for a solo or small group session. As a millennial office worker looking to improve my strength and overall functional movement , I booked three 1-1 coaching sessions with Jeff (60 min each) for a personal fitness assessment and to create a tailored program that aligned with my personal goals (i.e., improve tight hip flexors and shoulders from sitting all day, strengthen knees, easily lift and carry above 40# for extended time (aka little kiddos lol). Through Jeff my trainer, I feel empowered and to take care of my body thru intentional workouts after learning SO much about total body mechanics, proper form & rep count, and effective resistance training. What sets Pike Fitness apart is their incredibly caring, professional, and knowledgeable ethos for helping others build and maintain strength at ALL life stages. So come as you are, Pike Fitness is a solid investment for your fitness journey, wherever you are. Thanks Jeff. Pike Fitness is a gem for Vallejo!

Pike Fitness had a pop-up at Vallejo 2nd Saturdays and I was working the booth right behind them…read more They had a jumping contest with a vertical jump trainer. 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.

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.

With his support, I've lost over 30 lbs. over the past 6 months of training, which has been incredibly motivating. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the gym is a bit small for the number of members and can get crowded at times.

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!

One thing I really like is that this is the only gym I've been to where my car has never been vandalized. At other gyms in Vallejo I've had my windows smashed, but never here. I'm not sure if it's because of the location or because the security guards are always walking the parking lot, but it definitely gives me peace of mind. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the gym is clean, and they've been doing a lot of renovations lately. The equipment is well maintained, and the machines are rarely out of order. My only complaint is that the main weight room is a little small and can get crowded during peak hours. Other than that, it's a great gym, and I'd definitely recommend it.

I joined last week at the Sonoma locations a couple of blocks from where I live. I went in on Wednesday at 12 noon and left around 2pm.

Certain machines are very popular/almost always in use like the assisted pull up. I think there may only be one of those. There's a vending machine with drinks available. The people working at the front have been polite. Be warned there are signs not to leave any valuables in the lockers. Keep them with you at all times.

Long story short, if…read moreyou go to the ER while you are here or shortly after, you have to immediately return with a copy of a doctor's note or email it. 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,
