I go to Git Fit Davis Sport a couple of times a year, when I visit family in Davis. The staff and members are friendly, and they have a huge variety of equipment in several different rooms. Equipment is older but is in excellent condition. They have numerous benches and squat racks; I've never had to wait to use the equipment that I wanted. read more

For being the, "best gym in Yolo county", get fit Davis seriously is nothing but underwhelming. They charge a hefty price of $70 a month for non-Davis affiliated for a gym where there's absolutely no upkeep. The gym is unique in terms of the layout and structure, however, that does not compensate for the neglect that the owners have with the place. The fans are very high powered, but you can't really feel the air due to lack of cleaning and the amount of dust that has accumulated from the months or years of not cleaning them. Toilets are consistently breaking so there are times where there will be one stall available for a full gym and takes almost 2 weeks to fix at a time. paper towels in the bathroom have always been lacking as well. The roof is also caving in due to water leaks in the cardio room, which is very hazardous and the consistently have to move machines around to avoid someone getting seriously injured. Their yoga mats look like they have never been changed before and they are the point where they mostly torn and disgusting. Overall, for the price, you are paying for a gym that is neglected by owners who refused to keep up and do minimum work in order to have as much as possible I would highly not recommend this gym to anyone whatsoever. Don't believe me? Go see so for yourself. read more

I don't understand the bad reviews. Great selection of equipment, nice pools, interesting building. Parking is very limited, but otherwise, I've got no complaints. read more

See all

I liked this gym since they seem to be complete having a pool and other amenities. However, they do not maintain the cleanliness of the gym. The machines have dust and they don't vacuum often either. Their bathrooms are cleaned just ok. Their customer service was ok although because they have young people sometimes you're greeted but most of the time you're not. For the monthly price I expected a better maintenance of the gym. read more

Staff are difficult to work with (unless you are buying a membership), management is not customer focused, and one popular group class instructor uses shaming and fear throughout class - I got called out in front of the class multiple times for doing modifications because of pain or because I wasn't feeling my best. Parking sucks. My friend was blocked in twice by someone who parked too close to them, and staff wouldn't help. They had to sit and wait for the other person to be done with the gym and leave. read more

They have done a great job of upgrading facilities. Bathrooms NEED to be cleaned better. But desk staff is great and know their clients by name. read more

Scheduled initial personal training session with Liz. Rescheduled once at her request. Then, showed up at scheduled time and she was not there. The guys at the front desk didn't have a way to contact her nor did they seem to know anything about the appointment. I left after waiting around for 15 minutes. Never received any follow up from Liz. read more

I have been going to this gym for about 10 years now. Only because it was the only viable option in Davis. First off, post covid when they moved all members to this location, I exchanged emails with management where they PROMISED me they would keep my original membership rate until the day I cancel my membership. Specifically stating that and then later on they bumped my fee up an additional $30. When I asked about it, they told me sorry inflation happens. I brought up the email exchange and they told me that's not a binding contract and disregarded the whole thing. So they lie to then just charge you more, a total scam. Second, this place is dirty. The bathrooms are dirty with water always on the floor, there's dust piled up thick on the fans and equipment, half the equipment is always broken, and water damage all over the facility. They overcharge for a mediocre gym with terrible hours. I'm so happy that a new gym has opened in Davis. read more

Not the greatest gym. Needs a lot of updating and had two of my first few classes cancelled. Aerobics classes were okay. Staff was really friendly. read more

Unfortunately Davis has a serious lack of good exercise facilities outside the university. Get Fit Davis has some good features. Nice to have a pool and warm pool along with a gym, and the staff has been friendly. But the owner is obviously just milking the facility and doesn't care about upkeep. Many of the controls on elliptical machines don't work; the Nautilus machines are ancient and creaky, carpets and ceilings need to be replaced, and the whole place needs a deep cleaning, painting, and better lighting. It'd probably be best just to knock the old funky building down and rebuild, but that's probably asking a bit much. Numerous complaints to the staff have produced no change. Very sad that Davis doesn't have something better. read more

Spiders in the locker room. Trash left on the floor for days at a time. It's very clear the current owners inherited it, because they know 0 about business. The GM literally told me, "I don't go into the male locker room because I hear it's dirty." THATS CORRECT. So go in after hours. Go in when the cleaners are there. But you never go in (and it's so disgusting) only shows me you don't know how to run a biz. To be fair, the childcare is VERY GOOD. But the facilities are disgusting. But again to be fair, it is the best gym in Davis. But definitely not the cleanest. read more

Ever since Liz was made manager at GFDS there has been noticeable improvements at the club. The floor of the main womens' locker room is now regularly power washed. Additional light weights (thank you for the 4 pounders) have been purchased for classes in the gym. New grippy mats were also purchased for classes in the gym. There are two maintenance people as well as both a male and female custodian. There is still room for improvement (the Nautilus machines need maintenance and replacement pins) but I have started telling some people who dropped their memberships to give the gym another try. The group exercise classes are good and the instructors are fantastic. I'm glad to see some men have become regulars at the step aerobic classes. They got the message that it's a complete workout and fun too. read more

This gym has some pros and cons. Pros: jacuzzi, showers, sauna and two large pools. Staff is friendly and there's plenty of equipment. Cons: expensive, jacuzzi and showers have been out of commission for over a month, hard to catch an employee, always out of paper towels to clean equipment. I wouldn't mind so much if it was a little cheaper. read more

Gym is completely inconsiderate of its neighbors as another yelper said. With Covid came outdoor classes which is fine, support the survival of local business, but the instructors are just flat out bad neighbors, especially the blonde one. Starting at the earliest of hours she's blasting music, using that obnoxious beeping timer, students are slamming gym equipment into the ground (see Crossfit), they are running all up and down the sidewalk making it impossible to use the park, and worst of all...she's bleating into her microphone like a dying goat. In my honest opinion, this instructor doesn't care about what she does or who she "helps", just the validation she gets from using a microphone in front of a group of people. Any reasonable person would just use their voice at 6AM. I've called the cops and will continue to call the cops until this gym learns to be respectful of the neighborhood around it. I encourage anyone else constantly woken up by them to do the same. read more

Old, dark, and smells bad. Overpriced for what it offers. I wish they could get some natural light or windows for any of the spaces, and some fresh air/circulation. read more

I sent an email to club management three days ago. No response. Crickets. Bupkis. Here's what I wrote regarding the largest room at the club, which is filled with workout equipment: This morning I discovered that in order to overcome the loud, angry 'metal' music booming in the room, I had to turn up my Bose bluetooth headphones "up to eleven"...and they still couldn't drown it out. I stopped my workout to ask the young woman at the front desk if the volume could be lowered a bit, explaining that there were only five customers in the big room, including me, all either wearing headphones or earbuds. None of us asked for- or needed- any extraneous music. At a lower volume, not a problem! When it's too loud to tune out, even with good headphones cranked up to earbleed level, it is a problem. When I returned to the rowing machine, the music was as loud as before. On my way out, after cutting my workout short, I let her know. She said, "Well, they (I assume that means management) like to have the music on for 'atmosphere.' I turned it down ten notches. It's a pretty big room, so the sound just carries. That's the best I can do." I got the message: "Tough noogies. This policy isn't going to change, there's nothing that can be done about it, so you'll just have to deal with it. It isn't physically possible to lower the volume." I last belonged to GFD Sport in 2016 and 2017, and enjoyed working out to personal, custom Spotify playlists on my headphones. I made friends, dropped 18 pounds and felt great! I was working out at the club, quite happily, five days a week. Back then, even loud in-person conversations and yakking on a cell phone were discouraged in the treadmill room. When I recently moved back to Davis, I looked forward to rejoining the friendly, mellow, laid-back club that I had nothing but positive feelings toward, and getting back in shape. If I had known the policy now was to bombard members with loud, angry, edgy metal, I wouldn't have rejoined. It's hard enough at my age and physical condition (66 and about 20 pounds overweight) to be motivated to work out without having this unnecessary "suck" factor that, for me, takes the enjoyment out of the experience. I'm going to cancel my membership and write off the initiation fee as money not well-spent (ugh). Why would I continue to spend $60 a month on a fixed income (Social Security) just to be discouraged from working out? ____________________ Not even the courtesy of a response. Nada. Zip. I was totally blown off. Not a good way to retain a customer. read more

Filthy. Disgusting. Malodorous smell. Garbage cans full of trash. Towel dispensers empty. Out of order signs often taped to weight machines and other equipment. Trip hazards. Lap pool cold, dirty & lights broken. Pool deck covered with pine needles. Zero response to complaints by management. read more

GetFit seems happily fine with letting the gym deteriorate at the expense of their customers. Ever since they've taken over it's gotten much worse. They're playing a lot of songs with vulgar/misogynistic language (not appropriate for the gym and youth!), the machines are breaking down (elliptical machine was tied together with duck tape which is not safe!), basketball nets have huge holes in them, the main water fountain is not cold (really annoying), they've gotten rid of indoor soccer area/racketball/etc (I used to play here as a little kid), the locker rooms showers are often breaking down. read more

Great staff, horrible sanitary conditions, Bug problem in the showers, sauna or steam rood constantly Out of Service?. For the money I feel like I am getting ripped Off. The location is too convenient for me to go anywhere else. I would give 4.5 stars to the Staff! read more

No classes that are good and the old people that are there are terrible. Also the salon sucks.

Extremely dirty, it smells as soon as you walk through the door, mens locker room smells like pee. Was a member for 2 years and I never saw anyone moo the floors. Great potential but the owner doesn't seem to invest any money into the equipment or facilities. $65/month is also a bit pricey for how poorly things are kept read more

GFD has a wonderful pool situation. There is a warm pool for more personal workouts and a large pool for lap swimming. Unfortunately, the dressing room by the pool is not kept clean. The walls in the shower are slick. You don't see whatever is there but you sure feel it. The hot water in the shower was nonexistent for the winter except for two showers( of 7) The shower controls do not work as intended. There was no soap at the two shower heads that had hot water. There is often no paper towels and sometimes no TP. All they need is a responsible employee to take a daily look in the room to see if there are supplies. The spa/ hot tub has great heat and good nets but the tile has not been cleaned in years and it shows. The same thing is true in the functional training pool. Some of us used our nails to write messages in the black scum on the tiles just to see if they would be cleaned. Unfortunately, we could read our messages for months. read more

This gym is filthy and falling apart. The men's locker rooms (both the main one and the one near the pool) are disgusting -- the floors and walls are discolored by mold and the showers and toilets are revolting -- there is literally a nest of spiders living in the corner of the shower room. The equipment is falling apart, the floors are always dirty. The only way this gym survives is that there is no alternative gym in Davis other than the UCD campus gym, which is very nice but not easy to access if you are not a student or employee of UCD. read more

Compared to the other gyms in Davis. GFD Sport is easily the best bang for your buck. Pools,hot tub, sauna, weights, cardio equipment, basketball court and tons of well taught classes. I'd suggest trying the 3-Day trial prior to signing up, and see for yourself! Update: Brand new treadmills and TV's. Also, some new dumbbells in the weight room. :-) read more

?have gottenI use the pool only and still, they cannot update the schedule on the website! Why to bother having a website if they are so inaccurate (they still show the time reservations were required. I like the place but there are plenty of annoying things, considering that as a Woodland resident I can swim for free, I gotten a question why I like the people (other members), I'd guess. read more

This is the worst health club I have ever belonged to and I finally quit. The management is terrible. They recently shut down the functional training pool which is needed by members who are disabled or rehabilitating in favor of youth swim lessons. The gym portion has outdated equipment and often out of order. The Yolo county Health department has shut them down numerous times. The dressing rooms are filthy! To be a member of get fit is to put your health and safety at risk. THIS PLACE IS A DISASTER!! read more

This gym is inconsiderate of its residential neighbors. When COVID started, they moved some classes outside. They blast music and scream, seemingly oblivious of the effect on people who live nearby. I've repeatedly complained, as has my apartment complex's office. Today, the instructor told me she would neither turn down the music nor stop yelling. Please do not give this gym your business. I'm sure there are others in the area that are much more concerned about their relationships with their neighbors. read more

This gym just keeps getting worse. High fees, terrible management, constant influx of broken machines, lack of proper equipment (and basic items such as towels), subpar cleanliness, and just a general feel of despair upon entering. It's sad that Davis residents don't have better options, and that local business owners don't care enough to provide it. read more

Terrible business practices especially during COVID. Despite being closed, they continued charging during the pandemic and couldn't bother returning emails or requests for call backs. read more

First impressions are a 1 star unfortunately. I was hoping for a different experience than my fellow yelpers. But after the front desk service upon arrival and taking myself on a tour I don't think I would get s membership here. i really enjoyed swimming with coach Russell though! Swimming happens Tuesday Thursdays 8:45am and Saturdays 12:00pm from what I know so far. To try out the gym it's 3 day but must be consecutive. read more

This gym is pretty outdated with old machines. They recently turned the indoor soccer area to a weight room which was a great improvement and the machines in there are much nicer then the other machines. My only complaint is that they never run the AC. I go in the mornings and it's always so hot in there! Just because it's not super hot outside yet doesn't mean you can't run the ac. With the mask mandate back in order its really hard to breath and work out with a mask on and it would help if they would turn on the damn AC! I can't even imagine how hot it is in there in the afternoons. They also aren't great about refilling the paper towels to wipe everything down. Lastly, they charged a monthly fee to put a hold on your account during months of closure which was not right at all. But seriously... TURN ON THE AC!!!! Please read more

After they closed the weight room due to COVID, they would not refund my already-paid month of membership. On top of that, they charged me a monthly fee to keep credit on my account. Now I'm down $100 without even stepping into the gym once. Consider other gyms such as Davis Swim and Fitness. They will actually treat you right and with respect, without manipulating your credit card info. Never coming here again and I strongly recommend you don't either. read more

This place is affordable, relaxed, and has everything you need. I love the hot tub after a stressful day. I love swimming with my kids on hot summer afternoons. The staff is friendly and the childcare team is awesome! Thank you!! read more

Brooke's review is deceptive. She is an employee of the athletic club and a personal friend of the owner and his family. All the regular members know Brooke as she is behind the front desk Monday through Friday during the day. The facility is not being maintained and is often filthy. They often have music blaring in the Nautilus machine room. Why should we be subjected to someone else's taste in music? Most people bring their own music and headphones. There is limited parking in the lot in front and it is often full. The facility is in a residential area so on-street parking can also be difficult to find. Do not park at the office park nearby during business hours since they will tow. Most of the staff is very friendly. read more

Don't worry, while we are closed, we've got your back! Your membership will be frozen and you will not be charged any fees while the club is closed. We will make an adjustment on your next billing cycle when your club reopens for any unused days for which you have previously paid. Said every club out there. Yet at this club, you have to cancel in person, yet they haven't been open for three months and now there closed again. At $55.00 a month. Not appropriate! read more

If we didn't live 2 blocks away, we'd try to find a different gym. New management sucks and does not return calls or inquiries. All "improvements" from DAC are superficial... no real substance at all. Old, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff have been replaced with people obviously there just for a paycheck or free use of equipment. Miss the old gym and all its quirks. read more

I know this gym sucks, but it's really close to home and convenient for me. I'm just looking for something to jumpstart my routine. I'd sign up if the front desk people could help. But they know very little about the classes, schedules or anything going on there. So, I have to call the instructors to get info, like what is your class about and when is it? (FYI, the printed info in the gym is sometimes different from what's online, making it hard to create a schedule for yourself.) This gym has the least helpful, least knowledgeable and definately least friendly staff in town. They don't offer newcomers any info, not rates or the class schedules that are printed and sitting right next to them. Nothing! But, you will get a workout trying to figure out for yourself what's going on. read more

I loved Davis Athletic Club. They were a great community organization. Previously, I gave DAC a 5 Star Review.. In fact, as a local community member, when people moved in I would say there was a great local fitness center. DAC. I was a member and fan since moving to Davis. I miss Davis Athletic Club. Weeks Later: As you can see I have updated my review. I have found the owner is a fitness minded individual. The fitness coaches are excellent. It serves a wide clientele, young and old, it's not a body builder's gym but for real people. They did put in a nice juice bar. That's a nice touch. Things change, I loved Davis Athletic Club and perhaps I was impatient with new changes. The front desk is very helpful, just don't make any complaints to them, they have no control over the changes. Since ownership has changed there's been cosmetic changes. They have a new desk. They have a new sign. They replaced some carpeting However.. They removed water fountains.. There is not one new piece of equipment. Some broken stuff remains unfixed for weeks or over a month. The lockers have been replaced, now they have fewer lockers, but they say they have more since a lot of the old ones didn't work. I miss the community feeling of Davis Athletic Club. It felt more like a community center and coop gym before changing names and ownership. Personally, one community feature I loved they removed was their community bulletin board. Honestly, I used it as a local music teacher and got local students. I also found and supported other local businesses. The board was always crowded. I requested it be replaced but it has not. read more

Let me start off by saying that this is an extremely subpar gym... dare I say awful? Get Fit Davis and GFD Sport is proof that Davis locals sometimes love to settle for mediocrity. We don't have many options here in Davis and over the years I've seen too many businesses thrive off of our frustrated silence. I'll keep my review organized with a good ol pros and cons list: PROS: I was going to say that the staff are nice but honestly, they mostly just lay low and say "hi" and "bye", which is pretty much the bare minimum as far as customer service goes. The times I've asked them questions, the staff have been utterly clueless. I have no idea if any of them are trained in anything except making sure there are never enough clean towels at the front. So anyways what I'm saying is what could have been the ONE pro is an actual con. CONS: - the steep membership price for mediocre service (24 Hour Fitness and Planet Fitness have MUCH BETTER facilities and cheaper monthly memberships) - THE PARKING LOT IS ONE OF THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN (looking for parking gets my blood pressure up more than my actual warm-up and I HATE IT) - there are never enough clean towels (for what I pay every month, I have no idea why they are never fully stocked) - old equipment that is literally breaking down before my eyes (and if a machine does break down it takes them MONTHS to fix it) - the fact that the treadmills face a gray wall. (it's just so depressing. nothing more to say about that except that it's really depressing) My monthly membership doesn't justify such mediocrity. GFD Sport is one of the few gyms in Davis, they know we don't have many alternatives here. And I know they know. That's why I wrote this review. Please do better, and do right by your customers. We deserve better than this and all of you know it. read more

I'm adding more to my previous review. I'm still going to this gym, but it hasn't gotten any better. There are not enough stools and benches in the women's locker room. The floor is often very wet, so no one wants to put anything on the floor. But, there aren't enough benches to put our stuff on. In the Nautilus room, many of the machines are missing the pins for the small weight stacks. I've complained several times over the past three months, but nothing has been done. I was the first woman to sign up for a rental locker. Then, I went out of town on vacation and didn't go in for about 3 weeks. When I came back, they had cut the lock off my locker and put all my stuff in the lost and found. They said they couldn't find any record that I paid for the locker! Funny, since the money had been charged to my credit card. This happened quite some time ago. I was very vocal with my displeasure and I made sure they had my updated information. Then last week I got a phone call and the staff member wanted to know which locker number I had! Really? If they can't even keep track of the lockers, no wonder they can't manage to fix or clean anything! So I've been going to this gym for a while, but it changed ownership and now I'm not very happy with it. It's needed some updating ever since I started my membership, but at least it used to be clean and the equipment was maintained. Now, it's taken several months to get the torn vinyl on the Nautilus equipment changed, and the locker room remodel was a joke. I only continue to go there because it's in a convenient location. However, if things don't improve, I'll seriously consider going elsewhere even if I have to drive out of my way to get there. read more
