Best Gyms with 24 Hour Access near Oakland, California

Gym is ok but the showers in the mans locker room need shower heads. They also need to upgrade their work out machines. I also wish they were open 24 hours.

Was looking fwd to my visit here as it usually is a step above other 24 hr fitness es in the bay. Staff was on point and friendly but basketball court was closed, kind of inexplicably...just some authoritarian style note on the window saying it was only open 5am to 3pm certain days, and today wasn't one of those days. Pobrecito mio. Limited amount of free weights under 30 lbs. Plenty of machines and floor space though. Hot tub is large but way over chlorinated and the jets are non existent..instead they have soft bubble spewing machine around the edges that splash the burning chemicals into your eyes and make it hard to sit for long. Sauna is decent but not hot enough...def not 200 degrees indicated by the thermostat which must be broken. The shower did have jets...they could have used that kind of power down in LA...but a bit painful in such a small space...the shower doors did lock nicely though so there was no danger of the super spray opening the door and In juring bypassers. Pretty clean overall, but fit the general profile of 24 hour fitness in urban areas just doing minimal improvements l. Really wish they would up their investment but I know they are so affordable. So it will keep the in and out vibe.

I’m new to the area and was looking to join a gym. I signed up for the free 3 day trial. I went in at 5 after work. I asked for some help and one of the guys behind the desk told another team member to help me. (Had his back turned the whole time) told me that the 3 day pass was only before 2pm. I asked if it’s for all 24hr fitness. The team member asked the guy who had his backed turned and he said loudly “ I don’t know. You just gonna have to figure it out.” Worst service I ever had at a gym. All I was doing was simply asking a question. Wanting to see if this gym was a good fit. I called the other 24hr fitness in Oakland and asked if I can workout there with the free three day trial after 2pm they said yes. Don’t go to this gym.

This location should be great as far as the layout and amenities.. however they do not care about maintaining the locker room and showers. It is always disgusting. Last week there were bloody used tampons in the showers. Most of the shower heads are gone in the women’s. There is always trash on the floors broken lockers, nasty showers. WHAT ARE WE PAYING FOR? this is one of the priciest gyms and I choose it for the quality and amenities and how it used to stand out compared to other gyms. Coulda just went to planet fitness. I keep coming in thinking it was just an off day. They need staff that CLEANS frequently. (These photos are different trash cans and different bathroom stalls. Every one was gross) they say not to take photos but how else to describe the filth hundreds of people are paying for?

Several machines are broken. Some of them for almost 1 year. It's ridiculous! How hard it is to fix them? Some of them are just missing screw or a bit of oil. The manager will reply to this review with his usual "it seems we still have room for improvement..." Fix the machines! They have been broken for almost 1 year! This manager should be fire.
