Best Gym near Oakland, California

Great pool for kids so many fun experiences ballet karate or very nice classes very friendly desk I don't know why these people are saying the water is murky they put chlorine the water is very clean and people barely pee in the pool

The exercise equipment looks to be well cared for and in good working order. The pool and changing rooms are a little old and out dated. There are some cracks and dips in the pool floor. They could definitely use a face lift. The people there, staff and patrons are very friendly.

Awesome pool for little kids as there's a ramp entry that goes from ankle deep gradually to 4 ft. Fountains, curved shapes, not your typical lap pool. Water slide has been broken since I got here, so that was a bummer. Aside from being surrounded by encampments and stolen and stripped cars, the area within is gated and feels safe and clean. They have rec swim on weekends from 1-5, and the pool is indoor and heated.

What is the point of lifeguards. My child can't wear a floaty in the pool, huh! Why?They said, they are not allowed because they want to make sure the children are being watched by the parents. Why do other children have to be penalized for parents who neglect to watch their children? My kid had to be held the whole time. She is almost ready to swim on her own and wanted to practice with a floaty. What do the lifeguards get paid for. Back in the day the lifeguards would ask where are your parents. Nope didnt hear that. Just, "Don't sit on the wall." There were a lot of kids without their parents.

Great place, gym workouts not crowded: free weights, machines, dance, spin classes. Great swim options: lap, walking, kids, geriatric programs.

I’ve been working with Yuri, a personal trainer at this gym, and it’s been a really wonderful experience. I’ve been hesitant to get a personal trainer because of financial constraints, but it’s definitely been worth it!! Yuri has gone above and beyond to help me feel comfortable in the gym and help me stay accountable. I definitely feel much stronger after our work together! She’s great about pushing me without being intimidating, and always makes sessions better with her great sense of humor. I love working with her!

Haven't been a member of a gym for a long time, but have had a great experience here. I've been doing training with Yuri, who has been absolutely excellent - she's given really helpful lessons on technique and helped me design a workout/diet plan for the days where I'm not training with her. Overall a great gym and a terrific trainer!

I've had the pleasure of working with Yuri, a fantastic fitness trainer, and I couldn't be happier with my progress. Yuri is incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, tailoring each workout to fit my personal goals and fitness level. Her positive attitude and motivational spirit make every session enjoyable and challenging. She pays close attention to form and technique, ensuring that I get the most out of each exercise while avoiding injury. If you're looking for a dedicated and inspiring trainer, Yuri is definitely the one to choose!

It’s overall a decent gym! Equipment is clean, has everything you need and it’s in a great location! The only thing I would comment on is the staff. I’ve been to many gyms and the front desk always greets the members. This gym doesn’t do that. I ask them a question about my account once and the lady behind the desk didn’t seem she was interested in helping me. If the staff was more polite and attentive it would be an awesome gym.

Well-kept facilities. Clean and functioning equipment. Competent and attentive staff. This place is everything you need with nothing you don't at an affordable price and in a great location. Parking can be a bear so enjoy the beautiful surrounding neighborhood and walk or bike over.

very clean well kept gym; friendly staff and people; nice atmosphere and very affordable; their 30 minute circuit is so good and a complete workout (i think my friend and i are the only ones who actually the circuit) for days when you are short on time...and great massage chairs. Totally worth the money. and free parking

That is why I love this gym. They so hard to make this gym clean. I noticed that all their staff take care of this place very well. thankful for everyone

The employees are trained to take your money and to keep you from ending your membership. Asked them to cancel my membership due to physical illness but instead they "froze" my account while money continued to be taken out of my bank account. When called and tried to talk to them about it the employee who answered the phone said she couldn't find my account after numerous tries, but magically the same employee found it in first try when I had to bus there to talk to them in person (can't drive due to my physical condition). After that a big man behind the counter just started raising his voice at me for no reason and basically said no management would talk to me about my membership. So I thought I'd just call the manager later and straighten this out, later on came to find out the manager is always aways and never returns your call... but I did get a hold of someone who claimed to be the assistant manager. After an hour on the phone with him, he still refused to cancel my membership and refund the money they took out of my bank without my consent and knowledge. Instead he used an array of "perks" & rehearsed reasoning on why it'd be a better idea to keep the membership instead of canceling. Needless to say we reached no concensus and he promised to call me back after "talking to his boss".. but of course that didn't happen, he went on a vacation instead and I have not heard from him or his manager ever since. Their whole system is designed to keep taking your money no matter how unethical it is and there's no leaving them without having your money taken one way or another, I have never had any problem like this when I was with 24 Hour Fitness, SF Fitness or any other gym when I was living in the city. It might come across as a cheaper option but it all evens out at the end so why not get better amenities & membership services by going ANYWHERE else??

Nice, big, clean gym. Good equipment. Feels safe and there is a wide mix of people who exercise here. Plenty of parking. So far, very happy with this place.

O really like the Oakland location. The facility is maintained well. All machines are in good working order. Also the cleanliness is kept to a high standard. So important these days.

Always looking to try out a new Planet Fitness in the Bay Area and this one has now landed at the top of my list for best PF. It's quite large/spacious and the facility is always clean. They have every machine I could possibly need at a PF. The parking lot has plenty of parking spaces and the best thing about it is that it also has a Tesla supercharger. This is the best combination for someone who works out and owns a Tesla. The staff are also cool and can always answer any questions that I have.

It bad experience for this location ! It dirty and trash everywhere ! Shower r room pipe is broken and no sanitizer at charge room!!!

The gym is decently sized and has a variety of equipment. Only four smith machines that are usually taken. Otherwise, pretty clean place compared to other affordable gyms.

I absolutely enjoyed the massage chairs! There were two types, and you receive a coin that gives you 10 minutes per session. I believe you can ask for additional coins if needed. This is a fantastic service after a workout 🏋️‍♀️

I am writing this letter to express my appreciation and gratitude for Emilio’s exceptional work. He always displays a willingness to help others. His friendly and approachable nature makes it nice to know him. As a Planet Fitness Member I have had the pleasure of witnessing firsthand the tremendous efforts and dedication he puts into his work, and I must say that I am impressed. I asked him one day why he was cleaning up something that his coworker left over night? He said “if I was coming here to workout I wouldn’t want to see that” I told him that was a very healthy attitude, and I know his manager will appreciate him for that. Again, his professionalism, attention to detail, and strong work ethic are remarkable. For the time that I’ve been coming here, he consistently goes above and beyond in his role, and it has not gone unnoticed. His outstanding contributions have greatly impacted the members and we are very fortunate he is here.
