I really want to like this gym more, because there are a lot of things they do well. The staff are…read moreconsistently friendly and welcoming, the crowd is respectful, and the location and hours are very convenient. However, I can't give more than two stars unless management seriously improves equipment maintenance. Several machines have had "Out of Service" stickers on them for at least six months, with no visible progress on repairs. In some cases there are only one or two of those machines in the entire gym, so when one is broken for months, it becomes very inconvenient for members who rely on that equipment. On top of that, some of the existing equipment is clearly aging (frayed cables, worn components, etc.). What makes this more frustrating is that the gym offers a premium membership tier that includes access to the hydro/water massage bed, but that has also been out of service for a long time. Even more concerning, the water fountain and bathroom have both been out of service multiple times. That's a basic facility issue. Members need access to drinking water and restrooms during workouts. Meanwhile, the gym sells bottled water at the counter, which feels especially frustrating when the fountain isn't working. On a few occasions they even had to bring in a porta-potty outside the gym, which says a lot about the state of the building facility. Again, I genuinely want to rate this gym higher because the staff and community are great. If management commits to properly repairing and maintaining the equipment and facilities, I would absolutely be happy to update this review and increase the rating.

After sampling a few gyms in the area I chose this one and have been going there about a year now…read more The thing I like best about this club is the great upkeep. I go in the mornings and the staff is always cleaning. The men's locker room is clean, the gym floor doesn't have discarded wrappers and bottles strewn around, and they keep the equipment in good repair unlike some gym where weeks roll by with a "under repair" sign taped on some machines. The only downside, and this happens at all gyms, is sometimes people mistake the machines for their living room couch and sit for minutes playing with their phone instead of using the machine. Fortunately this isn't too common, and usually if I skip the machine and come back later it is available.

I am not much of a using apartment-gym-kinda person but this one changed my mind. It is so beautiful. There are two parts to it. First floor has a small room for strength training and includes a good amount of "must-haves" equipment's. Second floor has treadmills, stair master, elliptical, and cycling machines. Everytime I go here, its always clean and smells good. There is also a big room behind the cardio equipment where Pilates, Yoga and dance classes are held or could be held. I use this room for stretching and warm-ups. What makes me motivated to go here and workout almost everyday is the view when I am running on treadmill. There is a poll outside and beautiful palm trees. This makes me feel like I'm on a beach or something. Hahahahaa. Love it. When you are done working out, you can go take a dip in the pool and swim. Also, there is a shower room and restrooms on the first floor. Its usually busiest in the morning 7-8am to 11am and at evenings 4-5pm onwards. Lunch times are usually less hectic almost close to none. If you stay at Beach Cove apartments, then definitely check it out. It's worth working out here for free than paying at outside fitness center.

I've gone to this and the Mission Valley YMCA for years. I find the complaints about the front desk to be frivolous. There are no towels except small ones for use with disinfectants and thus that complaint is frivolous. This is Yelp and it draws a lot of defective people to complain.

We left Crunch after 17 years (well, technically it was Gold's before but you get the point) because I had a female stalker and Crunch wouldn't help me (even with restraining orders). I was wildly unimpressed with their non-assistance. We went to Equinox bc it was supposed to be nicer and it was only a 1 mile walk from our house - fantastic. While it looked nicer, it was not nicer. It's old, outdated and limited. It's stupid expensive. And the hours really, really suck. So after a year, we left Equinox and we were wavering on going back to the Bay Club or joining the Y. Our kids really wanted to work out and the Y was a great option for a family plan. So we joined for them. While testing it out and thinking we might bounce out to the Bay Club, we ended up loving it. They recently upgraded all the equipment to smart equipment and I'm diggin it! I haven't seen these machines since I was at an upscale gym in Houston a couple years ago! I love the price ($185 for all 6 of us, plus it as daycare vs $230/mo at equinox per person and no kids are welcome) I love the normalness of the Y too. I may make great income, but I don't want to be with the stiffs. I want to be where my roots are.

Danny was a fantastic cheerleader bringing out the best in me. And even though I would be sore from some workouts, I wanted to come back the next time. He was able to instill in me solid routines that I will look to continue on my own. I truly cannot express how awesome Danny is as a personal trainer. It was a pleasure working with him for the past year.

While I was using an exercise machine, a front desk employee interrupted my workout and asked me to…read morecome to the front desk. There, in view of other members, I was told that I had not paid my membership fee. I explained that my credit card had already been charged and that I could show the confirmation email. I also asked to speak with the manager because my class was scheduled to begin in six minutes and I could not return to the front desk afterward. Despite explaining that payment had already been made, the discussion continued to focus on the claim that my account had not been paid. At that point, the matter should have been handled by verifying the payment rather than continuing the conversation in front of other members. This is not an appropriate way to handle a billing question, particularly when the customer has already paid. Billing issues should be resolved privately and after the facts have been verified.In the end, it was because there was fraud on my credit card, so the credit card issued a new number to my account. And guess what, even though it was not my fault, the company still charged me $16 for each transaction, They refused to give me the reimbursement.  To Management: I strongly encourage you to reconsider how billing issues are handled and how long-time customers are treated. Publicly confronting a customer about a payment issue before verifying the facts, followed by refusing to reimburse fees caused by fraudulent activity on a credit card, is neither professional nor acceptable. I hope management will take this complaint seriously, review what happened, and reconsider the charges that were imposed on my account.
