I grew up playing at The Bladium since I was 4 years old with lil kickers. I played with the Bay…read moreOaks and SJND for indoor footie and played with my AAU basketball team in this facility. So many memories, like winning a state championship and rock climbing with my friends. The Bladium was an experience: to drink, to play sports, to work out, to have fun. I recently came back after finishing college, just to find the main football field and a majority of the weight room gone to pickleball. At first, I did not mind, however, it feels like the only people who come in are pickleball players. Its sad to see my friend's old family business being made into a pickleball center. Even the new company's logo shows where their priority is at. Heartbreaking to see. I will always remember the sounds the floorboards made.

I joined almost 3 months ago The staff at the entrance are…read morealways friendly & welcoming. I am new to joining a gym and as a senior, I hoped for a positive outcome, and not feel intimidated or like I "didn't belong" I felt very welcome, I've taken a few classes that have been beneficial for me. One is for posture & strengthening. The instructor is fabulous, knowledgeable and makes our workouts fun. I thoroughly enjoined a class called "just breathe" very relaxing and uses the "Alexander Technique" but now the wonderful instructor is on maternity leave and we look forward to her return. There is currently a sub but I haven't had a chance to go back. I'm learning to use the equipment at my own pace. There are several rooms with different equipment and I never feel pressured by someone else needing the one I may be using. I bring my own container of disinfectant wipes, since not everyone is conscientious about wiping their equipment after they're done using it. And I'm fine with using my own, even though each room does provide a spray bottle and small towels are available at the front desk. I bring my own mat to the classes, but they have them at the front desk if you need to borrow one. The best for me personally is the use of the indoor pool ! I have never enjoyed using a pool anywhere until I joined this gym. I've tried two different classes. One is Gentle Aqua & another one is Aqua Cardio. Both instructors have different times depending on the day of the week . Both ladies are fabulous! The hours suit my needs perfectly. The ladies locker room is always immaculate. Shout out to Maria who is there Monday - Friday She keeps the locker room, freshly clean, always wiping down the wet floors as we come back from using the pool. She is very kind and welcoming, and we appreciate her so much! And lastly, the Manager, Edward was very kind and welcoming. He gave me a nice tour of the gym. I was a bit uncertain that joining a gym was the right thing for me to do. He gave me information on trainers that they work with to help me along with my journey. My friend and I joined together & we are pleased with our decision to join. He remembers our names and greets us personally every time we see him. Overall we recommend this facility, especially as a Senior citizen, we truly feel we belong

My experience at this spa and fitness center at 2:10 PM was extremely upsetting. The staff member…read moremade me feel rushed and uncomfortable right after the service ended. She insisted I leave immediately and did not give me even a few minutes to get dressed in privacy. I felt my personal space was completely ignored, and her behavior came across as aggressive and disrespectful. My personal items were also handled carelessly and ended up on the floor, which made the situation even worse. When I tried to address the issue, the manager, Fox Memon, was not helpful at all. Instead of listening or showing any understanding, he defended the staff and tried to shift the blame onto me. He even threatened to report me to their insurance company because I had my child with me--something I was never informed was against their rules. I only come once or twice a month, and no one has ever explained this policy before. Because I felt unsafe and disrespected, I reported the incident to the Alameda Police Department so there would be official documentation of what happened. Based on how he handled everything, I honestly feel that Fox Memon does not suit a manager position, as his response made the situation even more stressful instead of resolving it professionally. Overall, I left feeling embarrassed, disrespected, and unsupported. I do not recommend this place and hope they seriously improve how they treat their customers.

It's a 24/7 facility, but staff are unavailable from late evenings until the early morning. I showed up at 10:00am for my tour. As far as members, hardly anyone was there. A perfect time for me. It's about $50 a month. No contracts and no initiation fees. $40 for a keyless entry fob. And, with the fob, you have access to any location. Free parking!

Of the few gyms in Alameda, they are all small, but the most popular one is just too packed for my…read moretaste, and the hours on the weekend don't work for me, so I decided to check out Anytime Fitness. Roughly ten years ago I used to go to the other Anytime Fitness location, and I had also went to a location out in Reno when I was in school. I reached out to the owner on Yelp and he was very helpful, allowing me to try both of the gyms before making a decision. It being 24 hours is helpful, and I like that it can sometimes be empty. I haven't gone in during a time when it's been empty, but I like the idea of it for times when I just don't feel like talking and want to get the workout over and done with. This location is cool. It looks like they got some new lockers, and some of those new lockers have keys. I believe there are two showers and two bathrooms, which is helpful for those looking to get a sesh in before work but still wanting to wash up. The studio area is tiny, but I love having the TRX ropes and if it's not too crowded, I can get warmed up in that area. This isn't my preferred location, but I like the option of being able to go to any Anytime location I want. No, it isn't the largest gym but it gets the job done, looks clean, is near Lucky supermarket if you need to get some grocery shopping done after your workout, and it isn't packed. Everyone in there is actually working out, and I noticed the weights were often in the right place. Customer service and it being 24 hours would make it four stars, but the size is why I'm giving it three.

This gym is hands down one of the best I've been to. It's always clean, well-organized, and…read moreequipped with everything you need--plenty of machines, free weights, and space to work out comfortably. Even during busy hours, it never feels overcrowded. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about creating a positive environment for all fitness levels. The atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating, which makes it easy to stay consistent. I can't recommend my personal trainer (Katherine) and Rise highly enough! From day one, they've been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. Every workout is well-structured, challenging, and tailored to my goals and fitness level. They push me just the right amount while always making sure my form is correct and that I'm training safely. If you're looking for a trainer who is reliable, encouraging, and results-driven, this is absolutely the one. Worth every penny!

I give it a small boost cuz the people here are impressive so the clientele helps motivate. And staff is super friendly. Also, I've never met a crunch that wasn't super clean.

So bc small you can't get mad at someone all in your space... there's nowhere else to go, lmao.

I was genuinely excited for Crunch Fitness to open in Alameda, but this location ended up being a…read moreletdown. The biggest issue is the size -- the gym feels way too cramped and overcrowded for the amount of members they have. While they do offer a decent variety of equipment, there are only two squat racks, which makes it nearly impossible to get a proper leg workout in without waiting around. The setup with the two separate suites also feels poorly thought out and makes the gym feel even more congested. On top of that, the front desk staff were not professional and do absolutely nothing. I like Crunch as a gym overall, but this location missed the mark for me. If you prefer a more spacious gym with better equipment availability, you may want to consider another location.

There is an outdoor hot tub. In the women and in the men's locker rooms there is another hot tub, sauna and steam bath. The locker room is constantly being cleaned, by the hard working staff. There are hair dryers and plastic bags to put your cosmetics in. I use the elliptical machine every time. The room with elliptical machines, stair climbing machine and tread mills looks out over a grassy field , the pool and then the estuary. The club was open during the pandemic because the club designed a way to have air circulating throughout. There are tropical plants inside the club. I like to do Pilates and yoga and there are always rooms available. There are many classes here, Pilates, reformer, yoga etc. There are a lot of rules for this club, which I find refreshing. You will not see anyone filming themselves for TikTok here. That is not allowed. The people are friendly and extremely polite and considerate. The young people at the front desk are always helpful and friendly. It is a very positive Alameda vibe.

I feel like their behavior is dishonest misleading and indicating a lack of integrity. The first time I join for one month trial they had a new year promotion so I join Jan 06 and immediately they charge me extra , after calling the front desk few times , they said the promotion was over yesterday (they forgot to mention it when I signed in ) , I talked with Luz (one of the managers )and she agreed to return the extra fees and I asked to cancel the membership at the spot . I didn't see the refund and after calling again , they said it's a credit for next month , I said again , I don't want to be here another month , please cancel my membership, they said yes and now they charge me again . I needed to send them email just to confirm the call and they still charge me again I spend so many hour talking with them about the issue and then like nothing happens. I was there 3 times and for charge over $300 already . Such a rip off If u decide to join them , take a lawyer with u because they will nail you with secret charges all over the place . Very disappointing

Right away you can tell this place is well run. The energy is welcoming, the staff actually cares, and the community vibe is real -- competitive but still friendly. Pickleball-wise, it's stacked. 8 indoor courts that are clean, permanent, and play great, plus 7 outdoor courts if you want fresh air. Runs are organized, people know how to play, and they're always hosting tournaments and competitive events, which I really appreciate as someone who plays a lot. Outside of pickleball, the gym setup is legit. Full cardio and strength equipment, unlimited group classes like yoga, barre, and more. Locker rooms are clean, with showers, sauna, and steam room -- clutch after long sessions. Pro shop is fully stocked and the staff is always down to help with gear or questions without being pushy. Small thing but funny -- they even added a ping pong table, which kinda says everything about the vibe here. Functional, fun, and community-first. If you're in the Bay and serious about pickleball, fitness, or just want a spot that's run right with good people, The Hub Alameda is definitely worth checking out. I'll be back for sure.

Workouts are done in small batches of 3 people during each time slot - so no waiting for machines, and you get personalized attention from Anthony. Workouts are circuit style, and Anthony can also tailor them on the fly depending on your current needs. The session lasts between 30-45 mins. You feel accountable to Anthony and the peer group you train with, and everyone pushes and encourages everyone else to train hard. You will leave exhausted but happy.

The health, fitness and confidence you gain from this affects every aspect of your life, so the cost seems insignificant for the benefits you reap.
