Depending on what you're looking for in gyms, this is probably the best overall option in the…read moreVallejo and surrounding areas. 1) monthly cost is reasonable (even better for lifetime memberships). 2) they offer a sauna (City Sports & Planet Fitness do not, only In Shape does in Vallejo). 3) they offer additional amenities (like hydromassage and tanning). City doesn't at all, In Shape does, Planet does if you have a Black Level membership). 4) they actually use the annual membership fee to make improvements to the club (City just pockets it to their bottom line. city hasn't bought any new equipment since they opened in 2020). 5) they have a turf area that anyone can use with plenty of an wheels, foam rollers and an adequate number of mats and kettle balls. Factors that stop me from giving them 5 stars... it's VERY busy during rush hour (Monday-Thursday). Weekends are reasonable. There's too many folks filming and trying to be fitness influencers. The Zumba class music is too loud and with the door open (just like City Sports), but to be fair, the manager has tried to fix this. If cardio equipment is important to you, City Sports & Planet have a lot more.

Lots of conversations and sometimes distracted. Maybe they should take time to fill lots of sanitizing bottles and towels up and leave around each section allowing users to clean after themselves if they can't do the job. It's a small gym and almost too crowded at times which means you have to wait a bit. The group classroom ventilation system lacks and cannot seem to support the volume of bodies most days. I have cancelled my membership after 2 years. In doing so, I have had issues with poor customer service during that process as well. It's worth it if you like paying for low quality workout space. Otherwise avoid if you can. Exercising is a healthy choice, but when you worry about other aspects of the space, one hour of your time there could also be detrimental to your health.

I'm just going to settle on 3 stars here, an average of all my experiences. Long story short, if…read moreyou go to the ER while you are here or shortly after, you have to immediately return with a copy of a doctor's note or email it. You need to do this asap and specify freezes on all services. If you have Kids Klub, END IT. I went to Vivian who was there the last time I had an ER visit a couple years ago: this past December, I was injured again suddenly on site during a training appointment (due to my body/health situation, not my trainer or an exercise injury) and I let her know I was getting a ride to the ER this time instead of an ambulance, since it was a was a touch less urgent. She was responsive this day and seemed to enter the freezes correctly. I dropped off the first note 2 days later to support a freeze for a couple months since a major surgery would get scheduled. I was told I had an 8" growth and cancer in my blood and had to wait the entire winter holidays for further info until doctors were back in the hospital. A few weeks later the billing began... I called Vivian and mentioned my bank was informed of my condition and knew to not pay the bills until a certain date. She laughed and said I'd be billed later anyways. I felt like "I have cancer again, I could die this time with this huge growth. She's laughing at me." I know it was not personal, but forgive me, I'll never forget the feeling of thinking I might die and getting this is the response while asking for help. My health is poor after surviving breast cancer treatments in 2020 and they wrecked parts of my body but eradicated an aggressive form of breast cancer. I don't want to go into how bad the type is, but the odds are very bad with that type and they use the highest doses of their most aggressive chemo to eradicate the cancer. That's why I struggle and have gone to the ER twice in a couple years. But working out improves my condition, so it's essential. I'm so glad I found out a few days later that the current ER test was a misdiagnosis. I eventually received a big surgery, recovered and called in to sort out the bills that were waiting for me. Because I was experienced in navigating the disorganized billing practices, it was a smaller bill this time. I reached a teleservice rep who had her manager Mark look into it and it was fixed after 3 phone calls for a full refund. I know it's not personal. But I've decided that clearly this is not customer service at all. This is just workers, protecting themselves and the company and you just have to advocate super quick, do the footwork and calls and take notes, document, stay on it, trust nothing, stay positive and confirm and be persistent. Most businesses exhibit hospitality and customer service at an average level. Often if a medical incident occurs you'll get a compassionate response and excellent customer care. Not here, you will get compassion at first and solutions that fall through. Then they will lose confidence and be strained but still attempt to help. Eventually, it requires an escalation and manager intervention to correct the situation. The in-gym customer service experience will be good about situational things like everyday interactions. But if your issue has ANYTHING to do with billing, there is no safety net no matter how serious your medical situation. Had I only had a normal membership instead of a training membership too, I probably could have just canceled or never been the wiser. I'm actually hopeful no one ever has to experience this zone that they are weak at. But if you do, stay flexible, positive, and stay on it. Good luck and good health! I saw billing fees,

In my experience, this is a place where you either feel like you belong or you don't. There were times I felt judged, uncomfortable, and honestly more bullied than supported. There was also an interaction when I first came back that made me uncomfortable. The owner asked how I had been after all these years, and during the conversation I mentioned that I now have a son. He asked how old my son was, and when I said he was 6, he made a snarky comment along the lines of, "You should have come back sooner." I found that comment very inappropriate and unnecessary, especially considering the personal circumstances and years of my life that had passed since I was last there. It immediately contributed to the feeling that I was being judged rather than welcomed back. The membership situation was ultimately the final straw. I completed the 3-month agreement I originally signed up for and immediately communicated that I did not want to continue. I was not trying to cancel early or get out of an agreement. The 30-day cancellation policy only came up when we discussed going month-to-month after my original 3 months had ended. Being charged for a fourth month on something I understood to be a 3-month agreement clearly indicates that there was a lack of clarity somewhere. What made the situation worse was how the owner responded when I questioned the charge. I found his responses disrespectful and condescending. I was reminded about the discount I had received, and my mom was brought into the conversation simply because her card was on file. At some point, I believe a business should be able to communicate respectfully with the actual member regarding their own membership. I supported this business, paid my membership, and chose to come back after years away. I never expected special treatment, but I did expect basic respect and clear communication. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled left me feeling like my business was valued more than my experience as a member. Definitely not the way I expected things to end

The biggest bonus is you can bring a guest with you every time. It's like a two in one membership! In the multiples times I've been here I've only seen one machine out of service. Certain machines are very popular/almost always in use like the assisted pull up. I think there may only be one of those. There's a vending machine with drinks available. The people working at the front have been polite. Be warned there are signs not to leave any valuables in the lockers. Keep them with you at all times. Even in early-mid January this gym wasn't that crowded.

It's open 24 hrs. a day, which is another big plus. Like most PF's, this is a franchise-owned location. So, unless this is designated as your "home club" through membership, you're technically limited per month how many times you can visit, even with the Black Card status. It's still likely not the gym of choice for hardcore bodybuilders. But that "bigger is better" mentality is thankfully a thing of the past. Nonetheless, I'm guessing 99% of us can get a great workout here with state-of-the art equipment for members of all fitness levels & goals. No pool or sauna as most PF's aren't equipped with those amenities (as least any that I've ever seen). The do have a wonderful Black Card member section with several pieces of high end relaxation and recovery devices. Massage chairs, Hydro massage and even tanning beds.

I signed a waiver, which felt weird for something like that. Now I know why. Their shoddy equipment was set up in a low spot in the grass and was so unstable they had a staff member sit on it to keep it from tipping. There was also a bolt sticking out of the front. See attached photo for what a real vertical jump tester looks like (notice no bolt sticking out). When I jumped, I stepped forward slightly (not a run, there was barely room to move), and when I landed, that bolt sliced my pants and left an 8-inch cut up my thigh. I sat down at my booth, clearly injured. Two strangers came to check on me. Pike Fitness staff? Nothing. They saw me sit down, saw I was hurt, and completely ignored it. Later, I passed by their booth and mentioned I'd been cut. They acted like it was no big deal. Now they're responding saying I "ran and launched" myself and refused their help. Total lie. I stepped, I jumped, I got hurt, and they didn't care. They can try to blame me all they want, but their setup was dangerous and their staff was careless. A waiver doesn't excuse negligence. If this is how they operate in public, I wouldn't trust them inside a gym either. Avoid Pike Fitness.
