I've been a member here about 3 days now and I'm pretty in love with Fitness System. The staff is consistently nice, I think the prices are good and the amenities are phenomenal. Sure, the aesthetics may be a little dated but honestly I really enjoy the old school look. Gyms shouldn't be superfluous. My gripes are pretty straight forward. The locker room is small, which isn't a big deal. The sauna is co-ed though, which does suck because the rules do not allow for beach attire. I wish management would reconsider this, but in the meantime it is what it is. If I were to truly nitpick I would say there's a little to be desired on the cleanliness side. Putting up some cheap little flags at the cleaning stations would make them easier to find, which would hopefully encourage others to take care of the equipment too by keeping it clean. Other than that, a little dusting would go a long way. In conclusion, I think Fitness System is great and I'm excited to stick with them. read more

I've come here multiple times with my basketball team and never had an issue until today. Out of nowhere, staff informed us there is now a 10-person limit in the basketball gym, despite some of us already purchasing weekly passes. We were denied entry with no prior notice or accommodation, which made the passes feel like a waste of money. The most disappointing part was the lack of communication and customer service. Policies changing is understandable, but customers should be informed ahead of time -- especially after paying. Very frustrating experience. read more

WARNING: EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO CANCEL - PREDATORY PRACTICES I've been a member at Fitness System for about seven years, but for the last five of those I haven't even lived in the area. I tried multiple times to cancel my membership, but they've made it nearly impossible. Every time I reach out, I'm told I have to come in in person to cancel -- which is unreasonable since I don't live anywhere nearby anymore. Over the years, I've been bounced between locations, given email addresses that don't work, and told different people can't help me. It always ends in a dead end. Out of frustration earlier this year (2025), I finally had to stop payments through my bank just to avoid being charged indefinitely. Now, I'm being contacted by a debt collector for money I do not owe -- even though I haven't checked into their gym in years. When I reached out again recently, the only "solution" they offered was that I could write and mail a letter with my name and signature. In today's world, that is ridiculous. Every other gym I've been with (24 Hour Fitness, InShape, etc.) allows easy online or phone cancellations. Here, it feels like they purposely design the process to trap people into paying for memberships they don't use. This is not how an honest business should operate. I would never recommend Fitness System to anyone -- they make cancellation a nightmare, and it comes across as predatory. If you value your time and money, go elsewhere. read more

Me and some of my friends play basketball during the week to stay active and just to play ball. We found out fitness system has an indoor basketball and decided to try it out because it was raining.. they have a one week plan which is $35 to play basketball/weights or $10 to just use weights. I've been to this place about 4/5 times before.. this was the first time me and my friends ran into a situation where it made no sense THE MANAGER told one of the worker to let us know "there can only be 10 people in the basketball area or we can't be allowed in" mind you I drove all the way from Sacramento to have some of my friend not allowed in. we had a friend that paid $35 weekly pass for the manager to say his not allowed in.. we've been respectful to the gym goers, cleaned up after ourselves and caused no problems throughout the whole time there.. this review is strictly for THE MANAGER that has no idea what she's doing and maybe learn how to run a place.. wont be seeing us there anymore. read more

a group of us had purchased gym passes so we could utilize the basketball court. on other occasions we have had several individuals both working out, boxing, and some playing basketball. everyone was cordial and respectful of other gym goers, we did not leave a mess at any point, and yet today several of us were denied entry into the gym despite our purchases of passes for this express purpose. never were there more than 10 players on the court at any time yet we were constrained to this new rule despite obvious signage that eluded to a 100 person max capacity for the room. disappointed in every way and will be finding a new gym that accepts clients who intend to use the equipment provided. read more

Best. Gym. Ever. Compared to anywhere else, Fitness System is the cleanest, the friendliest, the most comfortable place to work out I have EVER been. Never super packed, plenty of machines to work with, huge space, and friendly people. Thank you so much for all of Johan's help and hospitality giving us a tour and getting us started here. I look forward to every workout, something I have never experienced. Thanks guys, you're the best! Keep doing what you're doing read more

There is a trainer here named John that takes up machines for hours and doesn't use them. This bag is sitting at a machine every day for more than 2 hours. The staff refuses to teach this person gym etiquette. Use one machine then clean it up so others can use it. I've also seen him harass people in the gym with really old and outdated gym tactics that will most likely lead to injured shoulders. When they don't do what he's told them previously then he will come up again and repeat they are doing it wrong. I have also seen this trainer try to correct other trainers during their sessions which is extremely unprofessional. If staff in the gym would do something then I wouldn't have written a review. read more

Fitness System - Trainer John's bag that lives on the gym floor always in the way. - Trainers Near Me - Lodi, California

This is a well equipped gym. They have free weights, weight machines, a small but functional cross fit area, sauna, basketball, cardio machines, etc... you name it they have it. Some issue are that the lighting is very poor, the wood in the sauna is a bacterial nightmare, and the bathrooms offer limited privacy. You can look right through the men's bathroom and the women's showers might as well be in the hallway for all to see naked bodies, not cool. The most annoying thing are those obnoxious billboards advertising local businesses all around the gym. I don't get that. There you are trying to get through a tough set and what you see on most of the walls is someone trying to sell you something. I wish they would replace all those advertisement posters with posters and or murals of the classics and current bodybuilding and fitness champions. I highly doubt people want to be sold products while they are straining to push weight. That sucks. It makes you not want to go to the gym especially if you're tiered and would like to step into an environment that can get you motivated and out of a slump. Besides that the staff is top notch, excellent customer service, and a good supply of supplements are available. read more

After no previous issues of PAYING just to play basketball here, a bunch of friends of mine and I were informed we couldn't continue playing how we usually due despite it never being a problem or an issue bought up to us. Some of us weren't even allowed into the building despite already having purchased passes to play here and some of us were confronted in the gym and asked to stop what we were doing because the MANAGER had an issue all of a sudden and the MANAGER had sent someone else to shut us down instead of having the conversation with us and finding a middle ground. We've never been disrespectful to the people here nor the place so this comes as a shock to all of us. We've always paid what we should to access the facility we wish to use and we've always respected it leaving it clean and respecting the others using the facility. We feel very disappointed with what occurred today and I wish this is something that can be cleared/fixed. read more

Poor customer service to say the least, the female over the phone, the female I had spoken with over the phone with was very unhelpful, I had called to ask about a qoute to maybe switch over there to train, she told me to come in person, when I had asked to speak with the manager instead, she claimed she was the manager "kelsy" when I tried asking her again for a quote she just rudely said come by passively aggressively and shut the phone on me. Yeah, no, thank you. read more

Friendly staff. Friendly gym goers. Lots of equipment if you're into bodybuilding. I see people complaining about the cleanliness but compared to In Shape, this place keeps up with cleaning much better. This is the place to go to if you're into bodybuilding. I can't really speak for the gym trainers or class sessions they have. They also got a basketball court which is cool but can get super busy. I'm pretty sure people sneak in through the back but that's none of my business. read more

Firt review and felt it was necessary. First off, great gym. Plenty of space and equipment. It does get a little busy in the evenings but I normally get in there around 0430 so it's not so bad. Like others, billing can be a bit off. Billing cycle is the 1st of every month. I came in July 2nd (29th day) to give my 30 day notice and was charged for August as well. I did sign a contract so I paid it no questions asked. I just felt a little leniency could have been applied here. This isn't a huge chain style gym and don't feel they need to treat it as one. For that I gave 3 stars. Being 1 day late on my 30 day notice and still charging me for an additional month is a bit shady. I have read plenty of other reviews regarding the cancelation of a membership but didn't expect this. read more

Go anywhere else. This gym has lots of rules posted but enforces none of them. People have cameras out and on tripods constantly. Weights are never out back. Kids running around and messing with equipment. And now it's used more like a social club for the loudest most obnoxious people. Every other gym in the area is cheaper and you get more. Addendum: theres no customer service on the app and even if you wait till renewal time to cancel they charge to full amount of early cancellation. read more

This gym was ok. The equipment seems crowded and the locker room was small. Also the bench in the locker room is not bolted down so that could have ended badly. It's ok at best. read more

they didn't explained terms to teenage boys that joined gym including my grandson. he canceled membership two months ago due to no time with work and school. He lost his wallet had to get new I.D. and wallet and today noticed on his online Banking me primary they charge him at barely turned 17 a $190,12. I called them they said because employee never had him sign paper's nothing they can do. I've never in my life has any gym charge those prices ever. i wouldn't recommend this gym as they have done this as we found out to several of these Lockeford teenage boy's who canceled membershi. read more

This gym is amazing. My hobby is ultramarathons on mountains and rough trails. The gym has everything I need to stay in shape for them. Kelsey, Rhonda and staff are great. I've never been a gym person really but the culture here is very comfortable. Staff is always cleaning equipment. Great value to IMO considering it's loaded with equipment. So thanks owner Sean for your efforts. At 69 years feeling great. I'll attach a pic of a crazy hard trail thing I did last week, without the gym, no way. read more

Fitness System - 6 Peaks of Diablo Challenge. - Trainers Near Me - Lodi, California

Amazing gym, recommend to anyone who wants old school bodybuilding vibes and a place that never closes!

I had a membership for about six months. Every single time I came there, there was no trainer present, the machines were all filthy, looked like the sweat & body scum hadn't been washed or even scraped off in a year. Every single time but once, they claimed they had no clean towels, and also claimed that the plumbing was broken down, so no water, hot or cold, for showers! The one time the showers worked, the matt's, tile walls & floors were covered in a slippery slime! But they always refused to give me a refund! I finally said enough of this crap, and cancelled me membership! Wish I did that my first day of my membership!!! But when I tried to cancel, they kept billing for nearly two more months! If you are looking for a ghetto, you will be right at home here! read more

Ive been coming to this gym for few years but lately it amazes me how much the owner has let this place go. One of the handles for the mens shower has been broken for at least 8 months. Cant even use that shower. Unbelievable to think we get hit with a yearly maintenance fee. If this shower dont get fixed within a month of this review im definitely switching gyms. read more

Welcome to Lodi's *WORST* gym! Do you like... Masculine women, or better yet, feminine men to "train" you, you should see juiced-out , highly-emotional Jake! People leaving their items on equipment for hours on end while creepily staring at underaged girls, then you should see John! Never trust a grown man with a ponytail! $100 a year maintenance fee while nothing is maintained, this is the place for you. Become one of the "trained", and you'll look the same, just poorer from waisting your money. Make sure to put your dumbbells in the wrong weight section at all times, leave your food containers everywhere on equipment (that silly jake), and don't ever bother going to the front for assistance because they're never there! So what are you waiting for? Go join fitness systems, the land of make believe! read more

I have Been coming to this gym for a while now... but its always better when I see Rhonda! She says hi every time she sees me and I always look forward to coming by. Shes always smiling and shes one of the few I see walk around to wipe machines down. We appreciate her they have drinks and protein snacks and she recommends the best stuff read more

This gym has become refuge for me. I go in at the same time as a lot of people everyday, everyone in it trains hard, the community of members are very friendly, and the staff is great. Every day feels like I'm walking into a dojo with people that have a common goal. On top of that, the equipment that Sean and Holly chose to use at Fitness Systems is TRUE strengthening equipment--no frilly machines that promote "just going through the motions". They really put thought into the equipment that matters when it comes to building muscle. If you're new to fitness-- don't let this place intimate you. The community is great. If you're just looking for a new gym-- highly recommend. read more

This gym is great to work out in! Seeing all the big guys workout motivates me to add more volume and intensity to my workout and it really sets a mood for the whole workout. I love that it's 24 hours so your workout can take place any time. My only complaints are the heat in the summer (but it wasn't terrible I could live with it), the bathrooms being a little messy, and the crowd during peak hours. I recommend asking to hop in if you want to use a piece of equipment. Another great thing is that the staff is very nice (shout out to Dallas) and they can answer your questions or provide service at a moments notice. overall it's a great place I would rate it at 8/10, its above average in my honest opinion. read more

See all

I didnt want to post the full details of the incident but it seems like fitness systems is not being truthful. As I was super setting bench with shoulder latteral raiser, a person goes to my bench and rests his arms and elbows on my bench with 205 on it! Fitness systems immature and young staff cannot comprehend how dangerous that is. the weight of his body could of swung the bar up and hit me. The unknowledgable staff cannot comprehend again, how dangerous this is. as I was very angry and any one would be. I told the guy to take his hands off the bar, he said no why, no one is using it. im like dude im super setting ive been here for 5 minutes right behind you. He then begins to get in my face and says what what are you going to do so I pushed him.. The kids who run the club saw me push the guy out of my face he was litteraly nose to nose to me. Any real gym goer knows you NEVER NEVER REST YOUR ARMS AND ELBOWS ON A BENCH BAR WITH WEIGHT. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM. IF THE OWNER KNEW IM SURE HE WOULD SAY YEAH, I NEED TO HEAR THE FULL STORY. AGAIN THE KIDS HERE DONT TRAIN THERE OR EVEN UNDERSTAND GYM SAFTEY. OLD GYM, OLD EQUIPMENT. NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE THAT IS WHY EVERYONE IS LEAVING read more

Great gym. It's open 24 hours and the clientele is awesome. The people who go to this gym are very friendly and the machines tend to not get too filled up (morning or evening). I would recommend this gym if you're looking for a place to get fit. read more

Fitness System - Trainers Near Me - Lodi, California

This gym is as good as it gets; in terms of old school bodybuilding feel. They have just about every piece of equipment that you would need for an effective workout! Pretty clean atmosphere as well - not a trashy feel big box gym, all the machines are taken care of! Dumbbell section (up to f**kin heavy), plenty of benches (plus a rouge comp bench as well), three or four squat racks, one deadlift platform (w/bumper plates), tons and tons of machines, plenty of cardio equipment (stairs, treadmill, elliptical, etc) My experience was of a drop in customer on a Friday morning around 11am and the gym was empty, which for someone who goes to LA Fitness on the regular, I was a kid in a candy shop... Gym was EMPTY - easily could have stayed their for another 2 hours onto of what i already did. read more

It saddens me to update my review. Upon joining this gym, we were pleased. We were able to use the facility for one month before the lockdown took place. During this time, I lost my job and my family had to move. There is not a location where we moved, so we called to cancel our month to month membership. We were told we had to come in person to cancel. Money is very tight and this wasn't an option for us to drive all the way back to Lodi and we hoped they would understand. This morning, we were hit with a $250 charge from a gym we haven't been to since March. To say this hurt our family it an understatement: it devastated us. That was our grocery money for the next month. We called again and we were told they would cancel, but not issue a refund. It just breaks my heart that a business would value profit over people. $250 is nothing for a company but for us, it was food for our kids. We will be disputing with the bank and looking into further action to get our money back for our family. My advice would be to avoid this gym, this kind of practice is nothing short of greed. ** This is in response to the owners comments. We were told they would not accept a letter, otherwise we could have sent that in with no problem. It wasn't until after the fraudulent charge of $250 was it offered that we could write a letter to cancel. After you took our money. We have not received any calls from this location. I checked both phones and there is nothing. Keeping a business afloat and keeping a family fed are two different things. You took money for services not received. It doesn't matter what you are trying to do, it is ethically and morally wrong. read more

I was a member at this gym for a while, recently moved and called about cancelling my membership. Was asked to come in person or to send a letter by mail. Strangely, Fitness Systems is unfamiliar with email, phone calls, text messages, and other modern methods of communication. This gym takes advantage of members by making the cancellating process difficult. I find this to be very ingenuine. If you don't want to be taken advantage of, consider other gyms. I called my bank and stopped recurring payments to this gym - no letter and no in person visit. Don't you feel silly? read more

Best gym in Lodi, hands down. Friendly staff, 24/7, HUGE weight floor, dope basketball court and just a great environment to workout at. Great trainers - Summer is super sweet and nice. Doug is TM (The Man) - super knowledgeable, and always down to answer questions whether it's with diet or training. Open all night so if you can't sleep and need to take your mind off things, this has been a great place for me. Reasonably priced for what you get. Tanning and supplements available. Shittin all over inshape! read more

Fitness System - Swoldiers - Trainers Near Me - Lodi, California

It's expensive and costs $49 a month for one person, one location - Too much for inattentive staff who are often nowhere to be seen when entering the gym, unclean bathrooms, and management who doesn't follow through with customer concerns. What exactly does my maintenance fee go to? Wood screwed into walls to keep mirrors up, flooring coming up to trip you while you're using the smith machine, smelly bathrooms. I canceled my membership two days after my monthly dues & after a maintenance fee and they made me to pay an additional month to cancel - while I was on a month to month plan. I was told that a manager would call me because of my concern and I never heard from them again. All other gyms I have been to will pro-rate your monthly fee when canceling, I would have at least appreciated a call. Go to another gym if you can! You will get better customer service & facilities along with less shady business practices. *Update 6/14/18* I received a response to my review less than 24 hours after writing it. I did not receive a call back after personally speaking with multiple staff members at the gym and over the phone. Sad they're only willing to work with customers when they're publicly reviewed by them. THREE one star reviews in the last week. There's a reason why. read more

Best gym ever!!! It's a small business and I feel better about supporting a family than a large corporation. I started my weight loss journey here almost 5 years ago. I have lost just over 100 lbs to date. This place is like a family that's been on this journey with me. The equipment is great, the childcare is free, and they are 24 hours. No excuses!! XO, Kat read more

Such an awesome gym. They have a ton of stuff to do, a lot of square footage, every weight training piece of equipment you can think of, even a basketball court and sauna. I just signed up and I love it already. You guys need some big fans in the basketball court though. It gets hot in there! My only critique! read more

I give it 5 because Its great for someone like me but 4 for the average gym goer. I only use free weights and its probably the biggest weight room you will find in the Lodi/Stockton area(I've looked). Plenty of benches, squat racks, no one complains about weights slamming etc. Everyone is pretty friendly here, never seen any issues(during regular hours). I've been a member since 2013 or so. A majority of the equipment I use is still from that time lol. They've added new Olympic bars recently, powerlifting bench, regularly replace worn attachments for machines. I go nights, midday, mornings depending on work schedule. Post covid it seems the gym has way more people than it used to prior. Especially at night its a majority of younger groups of kids. I know people sneak in sometimes, no big deal. One time a group of kids came in one night who obviously walked in because my cousin was one of them lol. They close the basketball court at night now which I think is helping. Mens restroom/locker/shower room is small and cramped especially when people malinger in there. not much they can do they're limited on space. Something to look at before signing away. Only thing I would suggest is more employees at night or at least making sure they're enforcing check-ins since the night employees sometimes are not at the desk or seem to know everyone there. Someone complained about the music at night I don't mind it. I just mind it when its overpowering my headphones which seems to happen sometimes. Despite that its a good gym. read more

This gym is legit, all the equipment and machines you could ever ask for. If you want to get serious about weightlifting and exercise, this is the place to be. Lots of sanitizing equipment around to clean up after yourself and overall has a really friendly local vibe. This is really a great deal too if you have kids (other gyms will charge you for child care per kid). They also offer a nice variety of classes (also included in membership). read more

This business is not a customer service centered environment. Had a friend join and I was to be credited for doing so, which didn't happen. After speaking to Kelsy, a manager, she informs me they will charge me for a month before terminating my frozen account. Having visited several gyms in the Lodi area. The men's dressing room is a small area for changing, showering, and using the restroom: in desperate need of remodeling. Given the high monthly fee, and not providing the credit due, and the arrogant individuals which requires one to posture to keep the equipment being used, I would recommend a gym where customers are valued and vanity is not. read more

I had a Trainer named Jon flash on me for getting on equipment (he had not marked or was nowhere near for 2-3 minutes) as he was "waiting for his client to arrive any second". I didn't know that I as a paying customer couldn't use equipment because someone might arrive at the gym and need it. Not only that but he proceeded to be a complete jerk and never once acted in a professional manner to me ending our conversation with "next time I'll piss on it to mark it." Easily the most unprofessional person I've ever seen anywhere. Management needs to get rid of contract workers like this as they represent the business even if they are not technically an employee. If you're the manager of this gym how can I get in touch? read more

This truly the best gym in the area. I am there at 2:30 am daily.only thing I ,and others,don't like is the offensive "music"/rhymes.the workers play. It has the f word, the n word and other obscenities. I just left the gym. Most people are older and don't care for young people's "music".. Sometimes,the music is so bad I leave early.please ,stop this now. Other than this, I am happy there... read more

This gym has to be one of the worst kept gyms in Lodi maybe even Stockton. The place is not very clean and the staff doesn't do very much on cleaning up. Machines keep breaking down and won't be fixed for months. They are way overpriced $49 a month for not a lot of perks. In shape in Lodi and all other locations I pay 69.00 for 3 people and have access to pools and much much more. Why wife cancelled her membership here because of the uncleanliness and how she was treated. The upkeep at this gym will be one of the reasons that gyms could get shutdown read more

Im an active member (I go every night), I CANCELLED an add-on on my account THREE MONTHS AGO. Apparently I needed a receipt to PROVE I have done so? That LITERALLY MAKES NO SENSE. If I make a request from one of your representatives, the expectation is that the request is COMPLETED accordingly. It's not about the money (however I would like it back) it's about the principle. FIX THIS PROCESS. Lastly, TO THE ASSISTANCE MANAGER, FIX YOUR ATTITUDE, of course I showed frustration, but you literally have no reason to show frustration back. Trash ass SERVICE!!!! read more

The gym is SO hot! AC doesn't work and employees won't let you open the door. It's cooler outside at 5am and 10pm then inside the gym. The AC issue needs some serious attention. ** It has been roughly 2 weeks and there is still no change or improvement. Any update on when this matter will see the attention it deserves and needs? read more
