I've been a member to many gyms in my life time. From college gyms, bouldering gyms, 24 hour…read morefitness, work gyms, you name it! But Pinole AF will always be one of my favorites. Hands down. I joined last year because even though 24 hour fitness was more affordable, the machines and building were just going down hill fast. The last straw was when I had a partially torn meniscus. I couldn't go up and down stairs but I still went to the gym for rehab and for upper body. Their elevator has been out of service for WEEKS. Essentially making it nearly impossible for me to workout if I needed to use the restroom or locker rooms at all. After this I looked through multiple gyms, pricing and their benefits and went with Anytime. I absolutely LOVE that I can go to any of the AF gyms. I've been to a few others and it's been great to hit the gym when I'm traveling or on vacation. Overall Pinole AF is clean, safe and I love that I never really have had to wait for a machine. Yes the gym is small, but it makes up for it by being one of the most hygienic places I've worked out in. Most of the time if someone is on a machine they never truly hog it and I'm able to get my workout done in the time I want. I'm grateful to have found AF Pinole!

Been a member here for a few months and it's seriously one of the best exclusive gyms I've joined…read more Not to mention I have access to others internationally. They vary location to location, and so far this is my favorite. I get my solid hour doing cardio, lifting, and stretching without feeling overwhelmed with a packed gym. They're constantly cleaning and sanitizing. Love that they have two showers. Makes it easy to get a workout in during lunch since my office is so close. Staff is really friendly and super helpful. I found my go-to. Bye 24 hour fitness lol

I was subsequently charged the following month even though I was advised I wouldn't be. I emailed and spoke with Umar on the phone who advised I would be refunded - but I never was. I ended up having to dispute the charge with my credit card. I've tried Club Pilates at several different locations and it's more expensive than other options like Bodybar Pilates. Pilates is a good option for those seeking to get back into working out or recovering from an injury. I would not recommend pilates in general for someone looking for a results driven workouts. Lagree is much more effective at toning muscles and there are options for studios in the Walnut Creek area.

Their boot camp today was for 3 hours and taught the basics of boxing. The trainers, Avery and Lance came around to each child and corrected them (gave them feedback on techniques) as well as encouraged them. This format makes the program great for beginners, as well as for more experienced students. The owner, Joe provided them with water, Cliff bars and apples. We'll definitely be back.

solid gym with everything you need and a surprisingly good recovery area…read more I've only had my membership for about a month, but so far Planet Fitness in Pinole has been a really good fit for me -- especially since it's the closest gym nearby. The equipment selection is solid. There are plenty of ellipticals, stair steppers, bikes, rowing machines, and other cardio equipment, so I've never really had to wait long to get on a machine. My favorite part is definitely the Black Card Spa area. Between the cryo bed, red light therapy, hydro massage, tanning booths, and massage chairs, it's honestly a nice way to recover after a workout. The staff has also been consistently kind and helpful every time I've gone in. The locker room and bathrooms are always clean and well stocked, and I appreciate the little details like the water bottle refill station, hydration options available for purchase, towel access, and lockers (they'll even provide a lock for a small fee if you forget yours). The only downside is that the Black Card lounge can occasionally have an unpleasant odor at times, which can take away from the otherwise relaxing atmosphere. Parking can also get a little hectic during busy hours since the gym shares a shopping center with other stores, but don't let that discourage you -- worst case, park farther out and get some extra steps in. Overall, a really convenient gym with good amenities, friendly staff, and everything I personally need to get in, get my workout done, and head out.

I used to genuinely love this Planet Fitness. When I first joined, it felt clean, safe, and…read moremotivating--one of the main reasons I kept coming back consistently. Unfortunately, over the past few months, the quality and safety of this location have seriously declined. The men's locker room and showers are consistently dirty and poorly maintained. On multiple occasions, I've walked into the shower area and encountered a man behaving inappropriately--standing naked in the showers with the curtain open, no water running, engaging in explicit sexual behavior, and attempting to talk to me while doing so. This has happened more than once. I've also repeatedly found human feces in the shower drains, which is beyond unacceptable and raises serious health and sanitation concerns. I reported the inappropriate behavior to a staff member days ago and was told I would need to speak to a manager, who is apparently only available early Monday mornings. This delay is unacceptable given the seriousness of the situation and the impact on member safety. Additionally, the handicap-accessible shower has been "under construction" for nearly a month. The curtain has repeatedly been torn down and left uncleaned, and there is now visible trash piled inside the shower area. This should have been addressed weeks ago. It's extremely disappointing to see a gym with so much potential deteriorate this badly. Cleanliness, safety, and staff responsiveness have clearly fallen through the cracks. I'll be looking into other gyms that take hygiene and member safety seriously.

It's been over a year since I've joined and overall, I've really enjoyed my time here!…read more The great thing about Orangetheory Fitness is the ability to go to other locations with your memberships; compared to other locations, the equipment here is on the older side but everything including the floors is very clean. I have never had an issue getting into a class here due to classes being at capacity, unlike at other studios where waitlists are the norm. Challenges and programs including DriTri, Hell Week, and 12 Days of Fitmas seem fun to do but always cost extra. The current rates have each increased $10/month for new members since my last review. I'm still paying $189 for an unlimited membership. The coaches here continue to be great and the app is user friendly. They do have an 8-hour cancellation policy for classes - if you don't show up or even need to reschedule the class within that window, you will get charged $12 unless you have an excellent reason. They are super responsive via text. Check out the Reddit page on Orangetheory Fitness for intel on the next day's class and other useful discussions. Will continue coming here and recommending this studio!

I've been deeply concerned about their customer service. Because of health issues I've had to extend my membership. They've been resistant or refused at times. Most recently, I injured myself running at Orange Theory and had the most difficult time suspending my membership. They seem uncaring and at times unresponsive to emails. I'm concerned that they don't actually care about including people with medical issues and only care about their corporate standards. If you come, I'd recommend a class pack to start and prepared to be very on top of paperwork and be prepared to provide doctors notes for extending memberships.

I'm not the biggest fan of working out but I love going to her classes and feel accomplished after her workouts. The class sizes are small with anywhere from approx 2-6 people per session.

Just know you'll be getting stronger everyday from when you start! Many of the workouts include weights (dumbbells, kettle bells, etc), TRX/resistance bands, boxing, etc... Keeps the workout fun and challenging every time. If you have an injury or issue holding you back, Kim will modify a workout that's best for you. Give her a try, you won't be disappointed. Kim's hours are Monday-Friday 10:30-11:30am 11:30-12:30 4:00-5:00pm 5:00-6:00pm She also has a 3:00-4:00pm session on Fridays and 9:30-10:30 class on tues/thurs.

When you first start you think she is only your trainer and that she will be barking orders at you like you are a Marine in bootcamp but quickly you discover that she has a specially way to motivate you without getting in your face (don't get me wrong, she will give you a subtle nudge when she sees you not doing the routine lol) and best of all she becomes one of your best friends!
