Good Athletic Club…read more There's two swimming pools, tennis courts, gym, etc. I like how the jacuzzis are separated (men and one for women). I mainly use the pool here and it hasn't been any problem. The water is pretty heated and there's always room somewhere for you to do your laps (or practice diving). Staff are also friendly and the space is clean. Also love the environment in the women's locker room. Everyone is so sweet!

I've taken some time to process what happened before writing this, but I feel it's important to…read moreshare so others -- especially those with disabilities -- know what to expect. I'm a wheelchair user and had been a member at Primetime for a couple of years. The equipment suited my needs well enough. However, the elevator began malfunctioning with increasing frequency -- breaking down multiple times a month -- to the point where I was once stuck inside it. On other occasions, I made the trip to the gym only to be turned away because it was out of service. Since all the equipment I rely on is on the second floor, a broken elevator effectively meant no access for me. The real issue wasn't the maintenance failures -- it was how management handled them. After several days of trying to reach the club manager, I finally got him on the phone. I made a simple, reasonable request: could they notify me when the elevator was down so I wouldn't make an unnecessary trip? Without any hesitation, he told me this was a "liability" for them, cancelled my membership effective immediately, and hung up. No acknowledgment, no apology, no discussion. I understand that equipment breaks down. What I don't understand is treating a paying member's accessibility concern as something to be discarded rather than addressed. I'll let you draw your own conclusions -- I just wanted to make sure this experience was on the record.

As soon as I walked in, the…read moreteam knew I was new and took care to introduce me to the facilities and walk me through the workout. They also reserved a bike for me. The instructor made sure to introduce herself at the beginning and checked in repeatedly during the workout. Only drawback of the workout is half of it is on the bike. You go in between the bike and strength workouts...so it does feel repetitive pretty quickly

Barry's Burlingame was one of the worst first-time gym experiences I've had. (And that's saying…read moresomething since I recently tried 7 gyms in the Burlingame/ San Mateo / Millbrea areas). I showed up 5 minutes early and instead of focusing on onboarding or safety, the staff prioritized forcing me to create a marketing account and hand over my email before class. Nobody asked about **my knee pain** or offered workout modifications like Basecamp or Burlingame Fitness did. I was thrown into a dark room mid-class with no idea where my station was, what weights to use, or even how to start(!) the treadmill, while the oversized class made it impossible for the instructor to notice I was struggling. I had to stop multiple times just to change weights and restart. Change and restart. In the end, I lost the class credit and time. The whole experience felt like corporate lead-generation and profit mattered far more at Barry's than the safety and success of new members.

I attended a Lagree class a few weeks ago, became sick during class, and had to leave early. Unfortunately I left behind a pair of designer sunglasses. Since then, I have tried repeatedly to get in contact with the studio by text, phone, email, and even by physically going there multiple times. Their phone number appears to be disconnected, my texts and calls went unanswered, and after multiple emails I finally received one reply with a blurry photo of a pair of sunglasses that were clearly not mine. I responded immediately to clarify, and once again received no response. I have also gone to the studio in person multiple times hoping to simply speak with someone, but despite the studio operating classes, I have not been able to get anyone to answer the door or help me. At this point, the sunglasses are almost secondary to how bizarre it is that a customer has virtually no reliable way to contact this business. For a fitness studio where people regularly leave personal belongings while taking class, having a functioning phone number and some kind of responsive customer service feels like the bare minimum.

First off, parking. Huge win. It's super easy to get to, which removes one more excuse not to show up. The instructors, Toni and Justin are both incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. No ego, no judgement, just genuinely helpful coaching. The circuit-style workouts are great and honestly so much fun. The classes tend to be on the smaller side, which I personally love because it feels like you're working out with friends. The instructors are always nearby if you need help with equipment, form, or just a quick little confidence boost. This space feels safe and everyone is friendly and welcoming! Bonus: they're on ClassPass. Will definitely be back again! Highly recommend if you want a great workout without the scary gym energy.

All three class reservations were made in person at the studio, not through the app. Today, I arrived for what was supposed to be my third and final class. Upon arrival, Neijah informed me that I was not enrolled in the class. I responded, "That's fine, can you book me into the next class?" Neijah then told me that I had no remaining classes or points on my account and that I would need to purchase additional classes. I explained multiple times that today's class was my third and final class, and I asked her to review my account to verify that I had only attended two classes. After checking, she claimed that her system showed I had cancelled classes, missed classes, and therefore had no remaining classes available. She repeatedly told me that I needed to buy more classes. I explained at least four to six times that I had never cancelled any classes and that I had personally booked today's class at the studio after my previous session. I suggested that either the system or the employee who assisted me may have entered something incorrectly. Unfortunately, it felt as though Neijah was not listening to anything I was saying. Rather than investigating further, she simply continued repeating what the system showed. At no point did she attempt to look deeper into the issue, review the reservation history, determine who helped me make the booking, or otherwise investigate what may have happened. She showed no interest in resolving the situation. What made the experience even more frustrating was that I knew I had not attended a third class, had not cancelled any reservations, and had not even redeemed the complimentary shake that comes with completing the three-class package. None of that seemed to matter. Her response remained the same: "The system says you cancelled classes, had no-shows, and have no classes left. You need to buy more classes." The situation then escalated unnecessarily when she threatened to call the police if I did not leave the premises. At that point, I began recording the interaction to ensure there was an accurate record of what was being said. I asked why I was being told to leave when I was simply trying to explain the situation and seek a resolution. After returning home, I checked my email and discovered what had actually happened. My class was not scheduled for 7:15 a.m. as I believed--it was scheduled for 9:35 a.m. All Neijah needed to do was thoroughly review the reservation details in the system, and she would have seen that the class existed but was scheduled for a different time. Instead, I was subjected to an embarrassing and completely avoidable experience. I printed the email confirmation showing my 9:35 a.m. reservation and returned to the studio to provide proof. When I arrived, Neijah again told me to leave or she would call the police. I left the printed confirmation on the counter and departed. This occurred at approximately 8:30 a.m. Then, at 9:09 a.m., I received an email notifying me that my 9:35 a.m. class had been cancelled. The entire situation was handled terribly from start to finish. A simple review of the reservation details could have resolved everything in minutes. Instead, I was repeatedly told to purchase more classes, treated as though I was at fault, threatened with police involvement, and ultimately denied the customer service and professionalism that should be expected. I have recordings of the interactions because I felt the situation was being misrepresented, and I am currently attempting to contact the owners or someone above Neijah in management to request a refund and formally address how this matter was handled.

Let me count the ways how much I miss and love Equinox…read more Yes, I know--it's a high-end gym. But you truly get what you pay for. I was a member of this location for over a decade, and since moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, I can honestly say there is nothing quite like it. The nearest one to me now is in Atlanta, and I still miss the San Mateo club regularly. This location has everything you could possibly want in a fitness facility--and then some. The Fitness Floor Downstairs is a beautifully air-conditioned workout space designed for people who are serious about exercising. No distractions, no crowds hovering by the windows--just a clean, focused environment. You'll find: * Full weight training equipment * Recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills * Dedicated spin, Pilates, TRX, and group fitness studios * A large open stretching area with foam rollers * Cold, filtered water stations throughout * Staff available for spotting if you're training solo It's efficient, professional, and thoughtfully designed. Locker Rooms & Amenities The locker rooms feel more like a boutique hotel than a gym. They are consistently spotless and fully stocked with: * Plush towel service * Spacious showers with teak benches * Steam rooms infused with eucalyptus * Complimentary razors, Q-tips, and personal care items * Premium Kiehl's products It's luxurious, yes--but also incredibly practical. You can comfortably get ready for work, dinner, or travel without feeling rushed. The Rooftop Pool One of the standout features is the heated rooftop pool. It has multiple lap lanes, cabanas, and water aerobics equipment, and it truly feels like a mini country club in the middle of downtown San Mateo. The pool is heated year-round, which means you can swim in any season--something you quickly get spoiled by. They even provide sunscreen from Supergoop!, along with full towel service. It's those little details that make the experience feel elevated. Classes, Spa & Services The class offerings are extensive and easy to manage through the app. Signing in is seamless--just scan your phone and go. Highlights include: * Yoga in a beautiful bamboo studio with HEPA filtration and ceiling fans * Pilates (available as private, duo, or small-group sessions) * A full-service spa on the upper level * A juice bar and retail shop featuring premium fitness apparel Everything feels intentional, polished, and well-maintained. Location & Convenience The club is located right in the heart of downtown San Mateo, making it incredibly walkable. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and cafés nearby, including one of my favorite bakeries and specialty markets. Parking is also surprisingly easy for a downtown location: * Two-hour validation * Surface lot, garage, and rooftop parking options That convenience makes a big difference in daily use. Value & Membership Yes, membership can be expensive. However, many employers offer corporate discounts, which can make the cost more manageable. In my case, the value absolutely justified the price because I used the facility regularly and took advantage of the amenities. Even when I relocated, canceling my membership was straightforward and professional--no pressure, no hassle. Bottom Line Equinox San Mateo set the standard for what a fitness club should be: clean, thoughtfully designed, service-oriented, and genuinely enjoyable to use. If I ever move to another city with an Equinox, I will join again without hesitation. Because at the end of the day-- life is short, and you should live well.

A friend of mine was looking for a trainer and when I found Adriana on Yelp and saw such good…read morereviews, I decided to join my friend and train with her. I was really impressed with the level of care and attention she gave my friend and I during our first session--I could tell she genuinely cared about meeting our personal health and fitness goals. Beyond that, she successfully demonstrated her expertise in her field...she had asked us to simply walk, carefully watched how our bodies moved, and pointed out the areas where we were imbalanced. After giving us a few mobility exercises, that imbalance was pretty much gone! She definitely knows what she's doing. After months of training with Adriana, I can say that there's definitely been huge improvements not only in my body but in my health. (A note to prospective clients with recent injuries: Adriana not only modified my exercises to avoid re-injury but she gave me exercises to help build the strength it needed). She's changed the way I think about food, and I definitely have her to thank for it. I also never got bored with her! She was certainly challenging and knew when to push us a little harder, but she's so positive and encouraging that working out with her was always more fun than going to the gym. I recommend Adriana 100%!

I started training with her a few months ago, specifically looking for someone who was nervous-system informed. I have a movement background, along with chronic pain and past injuries, and have worked with trainers who pushed past my limits without listening. Adriana is the complete opposite. She's incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and continuously refining her craft. Her approach is grounded in neuroscience and nervous system awareness, which makes a huge difference in how my body responds and progresses. The first few sessions were about truly understanding where I was at, and since then, we've been building in a way that feels both safe and empowering. Each session is tailored and unique. Her studio feels like an adult playground in the best way. I genuinely look forward to working with her and know I'm in excellent hands. I highly recommend Adriana.
