I went into Club Pilates Contra Costa County and was quickly sold a three month membership at a discounted price. I tried to cancel the membership less than a month later which they said I could and I had to pay $100 cancellation fee as I was canceling the membership early. The representative tried to sell me on other ideas to which I said I would think about it...I said I would think about the other ideas and it was clear that I wanted to cancel my membership. The next thing I know they are charging me for next month membership and now they're saying that when I said, I would think about the other options that meant I was negating my right to cancel my membership, which is not true. These people are shady. They will twist your words and hang the phone in your face. I would say no: do not do business with them. If you cancel it, make sure everybody knows it's canceled regardless of their tactics of trying to maintain your membership. To the misleading response: And just because you say you're ethical does not mean you are. There a lot of one stars that talk about the financial practices of this establishment ...we all cannot be lying. If you are defending your policy does it include double talk and refusal to comply with cancellation requests? Is there a policy on that?

My second home. Love love love this gym…read more What's wild is I legit bought a Black Friday deal for a year membership without ever even trying the gym out.. all or nothing!! lol new year new me! I'm 50 classes in and it's been a little over 2 months. I can't say enough, the teachers who lead the workouts all have a unique style and I have not had one who I don't love!! Point is. I'm sore. I'm happy. I'm going. Also, the music. I meannnn I'm picky and sometimes in group classes will get annoyed if the playlist is off, but I LOVE the music here.

The folks at the front are saying hello as you walk-in and I've seen them wiping down the glass more often. Overall the operations, cleanliness, and customer service of the gym is pretty solid. One idea that comes to mind is for them to consider doing demo days. Whether it be a day where they let members demo the hot buns or hot bandz class with complimentary accessories provided without the rental fee. Another demo idea would be to allow members to test out the scented sprays that they have for the mat / saunas. As an operations person at my workplace, these are just ideas on ways to engage with your clientele and hopefully increase sales! Keep up the great work, Hotworx Staff. Big shout out to Tiana & Shailyn -- they are always killing it at their job!

I tried HOTWORX and it's definitely a unique workout experience!…read more This place is 24/7 for members, which is super convenient if you have a busy schedule. If you're new, they offer your first class free, which is a great way to test it out. Be ready though... you will sweat. You're basically working out inside a sauna, so it's intense but kind of cool as a concept. They do have showers available, which is a plus after a session like that. Just a heads up, you'll need to use their special branded mat since it's made for the heat (about $5). A couple things I didn't love: the TV in the sauna is placed pretty high, so your neck might start to hurt during the workout. Also, the video itself wasn't as engaging or energizing as I expected for a guided class. Overall, not a bad spot if you're looking to switch up your routine and try something different!

Amy is one of the nicest people I've ever met and I have enjoyed every class at The Centered Body that I've taken. I am by no means a fitness person and am in terrible shape; I was very nervous to take exercise classes in public (I usually just ride my peloton bike at home) but I immediately felt at ease by both Amy and the environment of her business. If you are thinking about trying Pilates but are feeling a little nervous - I highly recommend this place. I haven't been able to get myself in the habit of regular exercise most of my adult life until now; I really do look forward to these classes both for the physical aspect, but also for the social!

Long-time member. Deeply disappointed…read more I've been a loyal member of this club for almost 10 years, and it's disappointing to see how little they value long-term customers. When I first joined, I paid top dollar for a membership that included the ability to pause my account for business trips or medical reasons which I hardly ever needed to-- something I specifically asked about before signing up and choosing that one package that offered that feature. A couple of years ago, they changed their policy mid-contract, removing the ability to pause memberships, even for legitimate medical issues. Despite my doctor providing documentation with two different surgeries, I was simply told there were "no exceptions." After a decade of loyalty, that response said it all. Over the years, my wife also joined as a full member, and one of our kids took swim lessons here for years -- which are not cheap. Between all of us, we've put a lot of money into this place. But apparently, loyalty and good faith don't mean anything anymore. Beyond the customer service, the facility itself has gone downhill. When machines are out of order. You should expect it will be for months at a time (3-6 months isn't unusual), and every rainy season the roof leaks -- they literally have buckets set up to catch water. I refer to them as the "annual rain buckets". The irony is that the owners are construction contractors, yet they can't seem to maintain their own building. After almost a decade and spending a lot of money, I've decided to take my family's business elsewhere. It's unfortunate -- this could be a great place, but it's clear they've stopped caring about their members.

She will challenge you, push you, and have you feeling like a whole new person by the end of the class! The music ~ A vibe. The energy~ Immaculate. You really walk out feeling accomplished!! Also, can we talk about convenience! Plenty of parking (yes please ) and the facility is super clean--which matters! As an early bird, I LOVE the early class options! It's the perfect way to start the day feeling strong, focused and intentional! Safe to say... this might be my new addiction. Catch me on that mat again real soon!

The only thing good about this place is the location. I know they try but it's not hard enough and…read moreI cant wait to cancel my membership. They send surveys, front desk calls to follow up to acknowledge but that's it. A couple months ago I even showed the front desk a cockroach in the women's sauna. I can say they are trying to keep it clean or at least trying now then when I first started but that's why I started to hate this place. Like no one cares that there's a huge hole in the wall or a leak down the weight room and now the weight room being unavailable. And the phone signal is non existent so you rely on their spotty wifi. Advice: when you have circumstances as such, bring in an extra smith or cable machine, buy new locker rooms mats, or more workers to freshen up the restrooms more frequently. You don't have these problems at other gyms that have management that care. Simple things like soap dispensers should have soap not days where you're checking which sink has hand soap. Last note: clean under the sauna bench. Try and do better because I can't wait to cancel my membership here.
