Very nice and clean gym! They have a lot of machines you won't find at your average gym!read more

Had a decent workout here over the holidays. They have some really great equipment that is hard to…read morefind elsewhere, especially for building glutes (multiple hip thrust machines from Peach Builder, RDL machine which I've never seen anywhere else, standing hip abduction, angled squat, you name it). They also have a ton of squat racks and benches available so you can probably always find equipment--we came while half the squat racks were taken because a class was in session and we (3 of us) still didn't need to wait for any equipment. My only complaint is that there is no designated room for the classes, so it can get really loud while they're teaching them because you have to work out in the same area. It would have been good to have a warning about that before.

I started going to this gym by taking personal classes with Anthony. After a year of training with…read morehim, I built my confidence (and stamina) enough to sign up for Leo's strength and conditioning course. Five years later, I married Colin--a fellow iron warehouse weightlifter. Now we have a baby, and I'm trying to find time to get back to the gym. Even though we live in Castro Valley, we try to find time to go to Iron Warehouse because it's worth it for the community. Leo does an amazing job of uplifting people that want to get into shape--and stay in shape! Truly, he creates a community in this little garage gym. It's the kind of place where people wave hello to each other as they arrive. You get out what you put in. Get ready to sweat. :)

This place is phenomenal! I'm doing personal training here with Michael Truong and this guy knows…read morewhat he's doing. I was able to have a consultation with him to discuss my current abilities/limitations and my goals, and he designed a personalized program for me to achieve success. His credentials are on full display through his extensive knowledge on proper form, mechanics, and motion of the body. He is not intimidating, but will motivate you to give 110%. Also, his payment plans are reasonable and won't burn a hole in your wallet. Michael pushes me to be the best I can be and I have no doubt that with his support I will be able to exceed my goals. I am a big fan of the open layout here. I don't feel cramped at all and feel completely comfortable/confident with the space they provide. They also have an abundance of equipment/tools for you to not only accomplish your own fitness goals, but to explore new ones as well. There are plenty of amenities and programs they offer for your to explore; however, I have yet to experience them so my review is limited in that regard. Ultimately, this is is a wonderful facility to repeatedly lift heavy things and put them back down, and I recommend you come check it out.

If you're looking for a personable and knowledgeable trainer, then Truong is your guy. I've been…read moreworking with him for the last 2 1/2 months and can say I've lost a ton of weight and body fat. But the most important part is the way he's shaped my mindset in terms of lifestyle. There's so much info out in the internet, it's impossible to filter out what is best for you. But Truong is an expert and caters diet and exercises to what your body needs, knowing the perfect amount to push you to becoming your best self. In addition to his training, he's also just a cool guy to talk with in between sets. The sooner you sign up for his program, the sooner you can start working towards your ideal body!!

I was hesitant to start my own personal training based on the cost and because I felt like I didn't need it, but it's totally worth it! I feel mentally and physically stronger!

She's so supportive, a great listener, super energetic, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her

Yo put specific workouts together for me so as not to cause any damage to my long standing injuries. The workouts were GREAT, challenging and mindful! she also put me on a nutritional path to help with inflammation and move me closer to my goals. Well! during my first year I lost 50lbs! And more than 30 inches over all. Yo is thoughtful in her training, she takes time to understand what is needed and how she can best help with getting her clients to their goals. Her personality is wonderful! Yo is very personable and genuinely caring, and she mixes that with TOUGH workouts. She truly expects you to put the work in! but does it all with our best interests at heart. I am so thankful for Yo, she is the BEST trainer and a Great! person. If you are looking for a trainer/coach extraordinaire ... Yo is the one.

I've been a proud member of Orangetheory Fitness Hayward for two years now, and I can honestly say…read morethis location stands out above the rest. The energy here is unmatched - the vibe is consistently positive, motivating, and welcoming. From the moment you walk in, the front staff makes you feel like part of the family, like Victoria, Francisco, Bon just to name a few! They're not just knowledgeable and professional, but they remember your name, celebrate your wins, and make every visit feel personal. Also, the coaches are top-notch, the workouts are consistently challenging and fun, and the community is strong. I've visited other OTF locations in the area, but Hayward has something special. Whether it's the way the coaches push you just the right amount, the upbeat playlists, or the camaraderie among members, this studio has created a space where fitness feels fun and empowering. It's the kind of place that makes you want to show up, even on the tough days and trust me, there are many tough days when you don't want to show up but once you walk into the office, the mood changes and it's GO Time! Huge thanks to the entire OTF Hayward team for creating such a welcoming and energizing space. If you're looking for a studio that blends great workouts with even better people, this is the one.

I have been going to this OTF studio for quite some time now and do not get me wrong I enjoy all of…read morethe workouts coaches (as i frequently attend different times often) and (some) people at the front desk. I'm keeping myself anonymous as I have witnessed first hand at a different studio the disrespect I've received over a critical "complaint" by staff. First and foremost Coach Erika and Coach Michael are incredible coaches. Hayward is extremely lucky to have Coach Erika here. Strength and attitude shows every-time she is behind the mic and her music slaps. Coach Michael is so incredibly focused on the members and corrects incorrect form to avoid injuries which is not seen in many OTF coaches often. He has saved me from a ton of back pain!! He is sadly not at the front desk anymore but Francisco is always a light to see not only was he helpful at the front desk but he is the same on the mic. WAY TO GO FRANCISCO! Valerie who is one of the girls at the front desk is also such a joy! Her kindness and incredible humor is the best pre workout you can get here. I don't take the early morning classes as much anymore but again such a joy to see as the first person you see walking in. Now here is my "critical complaint" the music in the afternoon is obnoxiously explicit in the lobby. I have never been to a group fitness class where when I walk in the first thing I hear is the f bomb and repeated uses of the n word. Very inappropriate. Garbages in both the lobby and the bathroom can be disgustingly full on the weekends and the afternoon. I would sometimes have to park near the plazas garbage to throw away my Celsius can or pre workout just because I cannot even stand looking at that garbage in the studio. I have sent emails regarding freezes and I would have to wait several days, longest time was 2 weeks to get an email response by a manager or assistant manager. Sometimes the freezes don't even get set up as I got charged for the month that I was suppose to be on freeze. I have noticed that they have gotten new managers, maybe retraining should be in order as the "assistant manager" does not act like one. Not very friendly or approachable, gives bland answers when asked questions and does not really have the spirit when it comes to a place like OTF and trust me I have been to multiple. The last straw was when I had asked the "manager" about unfreezing and the month that I was suppose to unfreeze never happened. I have decided to just stay back until my membership unfroze again. I have been going to my orangetheory classes regularly again here at Hayward since I had been going to the Alameda studio since my freeze and I try to make my schedule work to only make it in the mornings when it comes to Hayward. OTF Hayward is a charm but it needs to get its shine back.

While I went to town leaving reviews for Waterworks itself, I realize the intimate culprit is City Sports. Their pool is constantly undergoing some sort of HVAC issues which leads to ongoing and almost weekly pool closures.

City Sports, get your act together. Why is your pool closed so many weeks out of the year???
