I've belonged to many gyms in my life and have trained in the best gyms. I joined this club yesterday and trained legs/shoulders and can say THIS IS THE BEAT EQUIPT GYM IVE EVER WORKOUT OUT IN!! Reasons: -size -cleanliness -3 of every machine - distinct well described sections via body part -beautiful group room -amazing Booty room I can go on and on but I will truly get the best experiences there. Excited!!! read more

*UPDATE* 9/16/26: The fella at the furthest right of the counter was cordial! This may not sound like a big deal, but I've mentioned multiple times that the front counter staff can use a lesson in decency. And as I suspected, without any of the ladies that ignore people with intention, the absence of their peer pressure allowed this guy some humanity. He said both "Hi" and"how are you?" This is leaps and bounds better than I'd ever experienced here since pre-COVID. He's allowed GB3's 2 stars to go up to a 3 stars. read more

Spacious place with lots of people here. Not bad for a good workout, has everything you need. But some things might be dirty so make sure to wipe before and after. read more

Gb3 - Gyms Near Me - Fresno, California

Dipping into year number 3 of absolutely consistent focused weight training. Even as I'm leaving the gym, I can't WAIT to get back in! I've increased my days and am now also doing the treadmill, too. Whatever insomnia I initially suffered from was RESOLVED the first week of training. It's virtually impossible to NOT fall asleep in 3-4 minutes and I mean EVERY NIGHT! That alone was worth getting busy, stopping with making excuses and taking greater responsibility for MY "HEALTH SPAN." Who else gonna do that? It's a super disciplined time of my life and that extends to every habit, what I eat, drink, watch, listen to, allow myself to be around and it's GOOD! I give all glory to God for giving me clarity with each issue, to not dither on important matters! I AM thinking about tomorrows! This gym, its variety, the proximity and the range of what's possible over time is intriguing. As a sci-fi fan, who years ago named his 'voice-controlled' home, "Moon Base Alpha," the design of this gym compliments my aesthetic. EVERY cell in your body will benefit and it doesn't hurt that I look like a freaking stud! lol Didn't set out that way, but I'll take it 'cause it came along with targeting my insomnia through weight training. Lot's of hormones going on at any gym and it's not hard to shut down 'the look' from both guys and gals. Psst, take a number! lol In no way is the gym a social thing for me. It's the most greedy/selfish time of the day, by NECESSITY! Any air expended beyond that to achieve lift is conserved! The greatest gains I've made have been with prep/warm ups and doing each lift to exhaustion with only '1 or none' left in the tank. Not hard to understand, it's a stimulus/response sending the signals to the cells to BUILD capacity. But here's the thing... Dedicated and consistent exercise/weight training WILL improve EVERY organ in the body when combined with a solid diet and hydration with unsweetened water. A case could be made for some carbs doing an intense, longer training demand. I'm using 50% watermelon juice and 50% water. Occasionally, post-workout I hit "ultra filtered milk" and some ovalteen. Although I'm not lactose intolerant, that u-filted milk is much higher in protein and calcium so I'm upping my intake. I do NOT use powders, creatine or health related 'products,' bars, drinks... Instead I use REAL foods, full of fiber and eat proteins with meals, tons of grains, fruits, veggies, nuts, yogurt, etc. I do NOT buy into all the gym bodybuilding hype out there with folks 'selling' stuff. And I know from my own gains that 'the fundamentals' are safer and it's working. As a guy with a mesomorph body type, it's getting good! Viking ancestor genes ACTIVATE! As expected, IF one does not simply begin somewhere, build gradually, and then put that work in, you may be kicking important cans down the road. With the understanding that there ARE 168 hours in the week, I asked myself 'how MANY of those hours are folks/myself actually investing/using to exercise?' It's an interesting question. All the personal benefits, gains, enhancements in body/mind/soul--the disease avoidance/mitigations possible--are among the things that I've come to most value. KNOWING the efforts are sound. And even if you're not 'shopping' it's always nice to be noticed positively. Like any tool used to accomplish a task, the gym is perhaps the most significant one I have to take advantage of and I'm grateful to the Lord for always providing what I most need, insight! Walking into the right decisions is critical! I can only imagine how this consistent effort will preserve and enhance function, independence and ability into every season of life! Highly social elsewhere, when I enter any GB3, it's TIME to get busy. The world stops turning, I don't respond to calls or texts. Here, I'm selfish and focused 'by NECESSITY!' The most talking likely to come from me is relegated to asking someone, "How many sets left?" :) -G read more

I go to the Herndon location for aquarobics class. I am 81 years old. I have asked the instructor, that has black curly hair, not to do the jumping around exercises she does to get in the pool and do them. Members of the class cannot do in the water what she is doing on the side of the pool. I have asked her to slow down since we have the resistance of the water. Have also suggested that she go on YouTube to look at aquarobics to get ideas. The first time she said she goes to work at 3:00 am and cannot do that or get in the water to test out her moves. Today she said she could not get in the water since she was going to work right after the class. One of the ways she kills time is to have everyone walk around the edge of the pool several times. It is a good exercise. However, even better is to have small groups do that walk in a circle then turn around and go the other way. I really hope that George Brown takes a hard look at these instructors and make sure they know what they are doing. I was first a member of GB in Madera, CA. The majority of the class are seniors. What you do is show the exercise and tell the class to do only what they are able to do. Maybe buy a CD for the instructors to watch or a book for ideas. Most seniors to not complain, but this one is tired of the terrible instructor. The others may not even know she is terrible. I had classes in Madera until the roof fell into the pool. The instructor was GREAT. I know the difference between great and really bad. read more

GB3 bills itself as an upscale gym, but there are a lot of details that make it more of a mid range gym. The drop-in process is easy and the fee is reasonable at $10. The gym itself is huge, but while there's a lot of equipment, most of it is cardio machines. The weight area needs some attention: there's only two benches for bench pressing, the 2.5lb weights are scarce, there are no clips for the barbells, and there could be more cable machines. The locker rooms could use a refresh: they are a bit dirty and the lockers could use a refresh. The pool here is really weird. The shape means that one of the lanes is unusable for lap swimming, and the pool is way too warm. All in all, this gym is ok, but I would never join it as a regular gym. read more

Solid gym if you're looking for affordability. This gym is also one of the larger ones aside from the new Crunch fitness. My issue with this gym is it's poorly maintained. The equipment is old/worn out and staff are not friendly. They also got rid of all fitness classes and the GB3 kids area. I would consider if you live close by and just need a place to work out but don't expect it to be amazing. read more

The gym is in a good location and the people at the front desk are nice but machines look old and when something is in need of fixing, it seems that it takes years for it to get the attention it needs. Gym is always packed and always have to wait a long time for certain machines and such read more

First of all the gym itself isn't bad but the employees are kids who don't care when I've asked for help they are more interested in their phones than actually helping I tried to talk to corporate about reasonable accommodation for physical limitations and kept getting talked over that was Monica we are canceling thank you Monica I really hope you can find a job away from people because you were one of the rudest most disrespectful people I've ever dealt with read more

Best Gym in the damn world it is the Costco of gyms better than planet fitness and they just opened up the former kids club area to a private more quiet Workout area with freeways so they have 2 Giant free weight areas and various machines. It is amazing. Best G3 is palm out of all of them. They need one in Madera. read more

The new lighting it terrible! I've been going to this locations for 15+ years and it's always been fine. Please fix it!

I love the atmosphere, there's no weirdos and the gym is very well taken care of and always clean when I go.

Madison at the front counter is the absolute best! She is always friendly, and a breath of fresh air early in the morning. I forgot my card multiple times, and without hesitation she has assisted me, with a smile and helpful attitude. I am always happy when I open the doors and she her at the front desk. Also, she believes in Jesus which explains why she is such a joy. read more

This is the cleanest gym in Fresno. It's even cleaner and much friendlier than the other locations.

The gym is nice and they have a lot of options. The issue is the staff at the counter isnt friendly and no one racks their weights. The worst are the personal trainers, they walk around with their clients and leave weights on benches and do not wipe down equipment read more

Been a member for 20 years I love it!! ness was the first location and went to Clovis when first open next to Kaiser very convenient I'm very happy with the staff and gym experience. Anna G read more

Gym is alright. Better than Planet Fitness... but definitely mid. Front desk people are usually pretty terrible like every other mid gym. Nothing generally special about this gym and parking here is pretty tough. Remember you have to stay a member for 13 months if you sign up even if it's month to month... so don't sign up if you're not sure. There's a bunch of machines, limited free weights, and enough elliptical machines to reenact the Boston marathon... read more

Gb3 - Overview - Gyms Near Me - Fresno, California

Visiting from out of town and can't believe the lack of community at this gym. There's no one around to ask questions if you need help with equipment. No gym etiquette, people leaving dirty paper towels on floor and heavy weights left racked on the machines. What's going on here? read more

The people who work at the front counter are mean and are usually on their cell phone... I just walked up to check in and I said hello. No answer, just dead eye contact. I scanned my card and heard the beep. I said thanks. No response, just more dead eye contact, as if I was inconveniencing her. She literally did not say a word. This happened just now 4/30/2025 at 6:55 am. The woman is a young blond woman. Kind of strange customer service. I understand not everyone wants to chat at the check-in desk (I usually don't) but if you're going to stare at me in silence like I am an inconvenience to you, at least respond in a socially appropriate way to "hello" or "thanks" before going back to swiping on Tinder, or TikTok, or whatever you're doing. read more

This gym is an ok deal overall. The weight and cardio machines seem old and the crowds can be off-putting at peak hours.

I feel safe swimming with my hubby and people nice whom work there !! We were explaining all great benefits! I'm happy and can freeze my membership anytime and come back! read more

It's very overcrowded and not only that it doesn't have proper equipment for leg training. I don't recommend this gym to anyone. Spend a little more and enjoy your workout in other gyms read more

Front desk staff is rude. They're always on their phones or talking with one another. A friendly smile or "good morning" can go a long way. Other than that love this gym and the community here! read more

A good clean gym where rules are enforced. The pool is kept clean but is sometimes too warm. This is to compensate for the older people who do aerobics,but it can tire a swimmer. read more

This gym is very unprofessional I would not go here and they don't care about their customers who go there .. Kristine the manager is nothing but rude and no help she rather have friendships with men then to put their customers safety first .. she takes sides and she's nothing but unprofessional. She has no morals or respect. She values and seeks men attention then provide a safe environment for people . Kristine doesn't care for women's safety at all read more

Customer service was horrible. When cancelling my membership, a representative from this location told me that I had time the following month to cancel. I got billed anyway and despite me calling them back and calling the corporate office, they would not budge in returning my money. This is despite me not using the facility for months. I will not be returning to this gym. I would suggest to others to look elsewhere for other gyms. read more

Great! If you're having problems getting into fitness to help your health, come to spin at 8 am on Sunday! Van is such a great trainer and he will really get you motivated and get your morning started right! Today is his birthday and he stepped up the motivation and spin family love! He also wore an M&M spin outfit and passed out fun size M&Ms for a reward! ;)~ Great workout! Whipped in all the right ways! The only workout you regret is the one you didn't do! The rest of the gym is great too! Clean, safe and practiced. In respect to others, just clean up your station after you use it. There are cleaning stations everywhere and workers around keeping it clean also! Great spin class, gym and always a great workout! Highly recommended! read more

Great clean and ready for business I really enjoy feeling a different vibe going here compared to just feeling like I'm waiting for people to move off machines. It is where I take anyone that's needing a good leg day. read more

This is my gym location because it is closest to me but I do wish they wouldn't have gotten rid of all the classes at this location they only offer cycling. I don't like having to drive further away to take classes. read more

It's alright. It's a little bit too crowded for me. It's 10$ for a day pass. It's a pretty good gym but the pool always seems to be out of service when I go there. But it's definitely one of the better gyms in the area. read more

The cleaning lady!! I was just sitting in the front to wait for my son, I just had sat down and the cleaning lady asked me to get up to clean the area. As if she couldn't just wait or do something else in the mean time. I get cleaning is a must but I find it so rude. read more

I've heard a lot of people complain that GB3 is too busy, but that hasn't been my experience at the Palm & Nees location. I do have a problem with people who wear regular clothes & shoes into the pool. Is it possible those sneakers are "only-pool" shoes? Yes, I suppose that's possible. Is it likely? I somehow doubt it. I've seen patrons hop in the gym wearing what appears to be the clothes they worked out in and that's just not okay. Bruv, put swim trunks on and take those shoes off! I also think it wise to post signs asking people water exercises in-place (marching, stretching, lifting those water dumbbells) congregate in the same lane. Sometimes there's two of them but they each take up a separate lane, which is not a very efficient use of space when swimmers are waiting for lanes. Two, three, or even four water aerobic members can share the same lane because they aren't swimming but are working out in place. So that would be nice to have that rule in place. Also towels but that's probably a pipe dream. Other than those relatively minor complaints, I like this gym and have no problem finding space in the free weights, racks, or aerobic equipment. read more

Very clean and well equipped gym. I have belonged to several gyms and this gym by far is the best!

This facility was cleaner than the one on Kings Canyon and the Champlain location. Especially the bathrooms without toilet paper but I do wish I saw staff cleaning as frequently as Planet Fitness. I wish the front desk was as friendly as Planet Fitness front desk staff. They're fine but I don't remember being greeted as friendly. You wouldn't think how much it means to you until you no longer have it. Another thing I wish was that it had more sanitation stations that are easier to find. I kinda feel a bit lost sometimes. I've gone to every location and it can be overwhelming with Joe not uniform each gym location is. The arms station is always in the front and abs are always in the back but I always the locker rooms are not all immediately to the left but some are. Overall, I had a good experience and a good workout. I love that people leave me alone when I want to focus on my workout I'm glad I don't have to wait as long as for equipment like I do at Planet Fitness because there is a slightly limited amount of equipment at PF compared to GB3. GB3 is definitely a good gym and I love how much bigger and much they offer like different classes. Thus far I'm glad I switched to GB3 because it saves me time and I can see more serious people working out who I can ask for help or observe their technique. I'm giving it a 4 star because overall it's a really awesome gym. read more

Who the heck doesn't feel great after an amazing workout. The staff were friendly and that's a bonus for motivation walking in the door. Definitely motive for return. read more

Getting great workouts here! No matter how crowded it seems at peak times i rarely have to ever wait for a machine. This is the cleanest gym I've ever been in spanning decades - continuous cleaning mopping wiping down by GB3 staff (and "virus conscious members" AKA those who watch MSNBC and live in total self righteous fear) read more

12/30/24. Fresno is a deeply conservative and religious community. You'd expect that someone who grew up here and achieved significant success in local commerce would strive to provide the best possible customer service and products, reflecting the values of the community. This isn't someone from overseas making a distant investment; this is a person who lives among us. Yet, despite being part of a community with strong moral and social values, his customer service is appalling. He seems more focused on accumulating subscriptions and padding his bank account than on treating his fellow Fresno residents with respect. If one were to imagine a figure who takes from the community without giving back, it might look like this: someone who thrives on the community's resources but doesn't offer a simple smile, a warm "hello," a "good morning," or even a "thank you" in return. Instead, he channels his success into personal luxuries--expensive cars, a lavish home, extravagant vacations, and even cosmetic enhancements like hair plugs. It feels like everything revolves around him, with no thought for the people who contributed to his success. If one were to define someone truly selfish or harmful to a community, it might be someone who embodies this kind of greed and disregard for others. 12/26/24: Went to the gym today and noticed the same reaction as usual--everyone focused on their phones, not saying hi, smiling, or acknowledging me, like I wasn't even a customer entering their space. The only exception was someone behind me. They knew both of the staff members, and when they stopped to greet them, the staff smiled, got up, chatted, and put their phones down. It felt like if you're a friend, you're treated warmly, but as a stranger, you're ignored. 12/24/24. Early morning workout. No Happy Holidays. No Happy Christmas. No Good Morning. Just 2 people getting paid to play on their phones. It must be nice to have a monopoly in Fresno. Get the money. No thank you needed. We are just customers. Our money is the important factor. Get us to sign a contact. Collect our money. Then ignore us for the rest of our contract. Every day, I walk into this business and check in by scanning my gym membership card. I smile, but no one behind the counter makes eye contact, smiles back, or says hello. Today, there were five employees standing behind the counter, each absorbed in their own personal phones. Have business owners given up on customer service entirely? Is it just about the the-money, now? Are we, as consumers, so unaware of what good service looks like that we continue to pay without expecting even a simple "thank you" or any sign of appreciation from the business? Is it because there are few choices is Fresno. And this business owner doesn't care. His main concern is The Money. And the hair plugs. Customer service for a business is the direct interaction between a company and its customers before, during, and after a purchase or service. It encompasses the support provided to ensure customers have a positive experience and aims to build trust and loyalty. Here's a comprehensive definition: Customer service is the process of meeting customer needs and expectations by delivering professional, helpful, and high-quality support in all interactions, fostering satisfaction and encouraging long-term relationships. Key Aspects of Customer Service: 1. Responsiveness: Addressing customer inquiries, concerns, and complaints promptly. 2. Empathy: Understanding and valuing the customer's perspective and emotions. 3. Knowledgeability: Providing accurate information about products, services, and company policies. 4. Personalization: Tailoring interactions to individual customers' needs and preferences. 5. Problem Resolution: Effectively solving issues and ensuring customers leave with a positive outcome. 6. Consistency: Delivering reliable and high-quality service across all channels, including in-person, phone, email, or online. 7. Proactivity: Anticipating customer needs and addressing potential issues before they arise. Effective customer service is often considered a competitive advantage for businesses, as it can drive customer loyalty, repeat business, and positive word-of-mouth referrals. read more

If you're looking for lap swimming, avoid this place, they keep the water way too hot. 87 degrees is what the rude girl at the desk said.

Absolutely a mess. I've been going to this gym for about a year and it's always completely dirty. The showers always have hair in the drains or even at the corner of the shower. The hot tub on busier days is basically brown at the end of the night and you don't even see them wash until?? There's so many people that go into the sauna fully clothed in their sweaty gym clothes and or people with just swim trunks. I feel like a sauna shouldn't have people with their gym clothes?? All that sweat is just going to get trapped in that hot and crowded sauna. If you look up from the showers you can clearly see flies or bugs just hanging up there?? If you report that the shower head is broken they will won't fix it. There is still the same shower head that lets out a loud sound whenever you turn on that shower. It's so easy to get an infection in this place. Would not recommend it. As well I highly would want a health inspector to check out this place. It's such a health hazard.. To add on. There are pretty who would get inside the hot tub with their FULL CLOTHES. Or even in their underwear?? The amount of times I have felt unsafe with the weird old creepy men when I try to relax in a hot tub is ridiculous. Or even seeing people fully dressed get inside a hot tub which will just contaminate the hot tub is unnecessary. Coming from a person who lives in a camper van this place is far dirtier than the camp sites. read more

Staff professional. Very packed you have to wait for machine only downfall. Would recommend
