Best Gyms with Resistance Machines near Riverside, California

I’ve been to Planet Fitness before so I already knew there wasn’t gonna be an issue with cleanliness. Obviously this is a brand new location so it’s spotless and beautiful and honestly it wasn’t even as full as I thought it was going to be. Glad they opened up nearby because the competitors have honestly gone down the drain around here.

I live 2 blocks away, I've only been twice but the Black Card membership's definitely a deal. I did a 35 minute jog on the treadmill last night and finished with munching on 5 of the free grape Tootie Rolls they have up front while I got a 10 minute hydromassage. The massage was great and the Tootie Rolls are a nice extra. Also the price of the stuff behind the counter isn't bad. I bought a lock for the lockers and a hand towel and it was around $10.

Yes!!!! Finally a PF near my place and this location has the nicer massage chairs too 🥰🥰🥰

The wait is finally over, a beautiful new location just a couple miles down the road from me !

Clean, spacious, very good and new appliances, very friendly staff.

This gym when I sign up the charge was post to be 20 but end up paying more than you post too. The service for help is not there to provide assistance. The manger is never there and to me I wouldn't prefer sign up with them. If you try to close your membership you have to find a day that the manger there to close your membership. If I could put negative no stars I would. Don't be the one to get caught in there trick. Learn from me I am stuck trying to find out when the manger will be there to close the membership.

I’ve been going here whenever I’m visiting family for the past two years now and the showers have almost never worked. There’s only two and one of them has had the knob broken off since I first came here and the second never gets hot water. It’s small and the equipment is kinda run down, alright for a workout.

Bathrooms are always dirty. All the gym it's ok but the bathrooms always nasty, the staff it's friendly, and the equipment it's really good, but just attention y the bathrooms please, thank you

The negative reviews of this location are accurate. It’s a VERY small gym due to the PT that takes up half of the space. The equipment is pretty run down. Thankfully, I have AF&D and am not committed to any one location or gym. It was fairly empty which was a plus, but if you are paying monthly dues to AF for this location it would not be worth it.

I'm in Riverside for only a few months out of the year. I like going to 24hr gyms to avoid the crowds and honestly, the cameras that are all over the place during the day. I called and spoke to Matthew about my situation where I was only in town for a short time. He made me the best short term membership at an incredible price waiving the sign up fee if I paid everything up front for the affordable price of about $100 for two months. This included 24/7 access to the gym. I go every other night and sure there are a few people but no cameras and tripods to trip over and worry about. I never have to wait for a machine or treadmill. What would normally take me an hour and a half, because of having to wait for those items, now only takes me an hour or so. The gym is ALWAYS nice and clean without ample sanitizer spray bottles and fresh towels for wiping everything down. There's good sized PRIVATE bathrooms with large clean showers as well. The private bathrooms with showers have sold me to cancel my gym membership at home to drive the extra 10 minutes to the anytime fitness where I live. Thanks Mathew for running a tight ship!

Always packed. Never any equipment available. The bathrooms are dirty & stink. I come here often but definitely bouta change to a different location if not a different gym.

the employees are generally friendly, which is nice ofcourse.. the bathrooms and locker area , we'll take a l👀k at a just cleaned locker floor.. looks like someone took a hose to it and left, it's been cleaned cool, job done. now how exactly ido members change clothes and shoes without getting all wet? is this safe? is this exceptable? apparently. someone please let me know my angle here to do this please. have a great workout

I have been a member for 7 years, I was told when I joined that PF was 24 hours. They changed that. The amount they charge me was not adjusted. During Covid I could not use their gym, yet I was charged every month. At this Riverside club, the place is not what it once was. I was denied entry because my backup payment debit card had expired. I had to go through 20 minutes of BS over this & I have never missed a payment in 7 years. I am sorry, the owner or corporate are idiots that you are more concerned with getting your money than customer satisfaction or experience. I asked for a manager at this location & my home location & none are available. I may have a NEW Gym by Monday? Of course PF does NOT care. We are just a number. They are ok with turnover.

Horrible experience very rude and racist staff! I drove 40 minutes there to tan and forgot my goggles. They refuse to sell me at least the sticker goggles to cover my eyes when they are free at every other location. I only had cash on me. They would not accept cash because they are a sister store and I am remote so this location does not accept a dime in cash, I offered anyone on the staff, including the General Manager who could’ve gave me the eye coverings for free like every location does they’re very rude. He informed his staff not to accept no money from me at all regardless to say I drove 40 minutes was treated extremely rudely this is my sixth time there five out of six times the staff is treated me horrible I will never, go to this location again I do not recommend this location and unfortunately for Planet Fitness their staff representing their business is horrible and racist! please inform Planet Fitness that they are about to lose a 15 year plus customer because they hire horrible managers to run a location who informs their staff to treat customers rudely and that is unacceptable And they should be ashamed of themselves!

It’s a great gym and I get a great workout but it is VERY dirty. I go early morning and the bathroom trash is full from the day before. The restrooms are the WORST. They are extremely dirty I’m talking toilet bowels, sinks, floor everything!! It’s stays dirty throughout the whole day because the same stains are there every morning. Same with machines like the stair master they have a bunch of dirty napkins from the day before it’s disgusting!! People should be reminded to clean after themselves & the machines with a sign or when they enter. I’m not one to complain but it’s gotten really out of hand!!!

I’ve been training with Cody for a couple months now, and I can confidently say he is one of the best trainers out there! His workouts are not only effective but also tailored to my fitness goals, keeping me motivated and challenged. Cody’s knowledge, encouragement, and attention to proper form have helped me improve my strength, endurance, and overall fitness. What I appreciate most is his positive attitude and ability to push me beyond my limits while making each session enjoyable. If you’re looking for a dedicated and professional trainer who truly cares about your progress, I highly recommend Cody! Thanks for all your hard work, Cody! And the gym is cool too, it has nice facilities.

I started training here in the fall of 2024, specifically because it was close to home and they had private trainers. I’ve been working with Cody the entire time and it’s been excellent. I’ve put on 7 pounds of muscle while lowering my body fat percentage 4%. Cody has worked with me on my specific goals as well: speed, squatting, back strength and recovery from a specific injury. He has a plan for each session and is flexible to adjust depending on my condition on the day. I’ve had a great experience and highly recommend the gym!

Great gym under new owners -- the old gym had run it's course. Now it's a million dollars better: cold plunge, sauna, steam room, towel service, red light, tanning booth, full powerlift section, CrossFit section, everything. Come before 7 for the best access to all the equipment. The staff are friendly and helpful and actually work -- the place is clean, no nonsense is tolerated (I saw one staff dude stop a crazy customer from starting a fight -- bro is buff don't mess), the classes are well attended and well organized. Generally tip top shape.

Don’t look anywhere else than VV for a complete workout. The amenities are complete with all the equipment you would need varying across multiple disciples along with all the extras you’d like to use. Sauna, cold plunge, pool and even pickleball. I love this place.

I love this gym. The classes I take are so good and the instructors are awesome! One of my favorite class is the Zumba classes with Lily. She is so fun and really gets you moving with her upbeat music and dances. I love getting my cardio on with Lily's Zumba classes. Everyone should come and burn calories and have fun doing it.

This location has busted equipment that needs to go to the dump. Rusty machines or out of service. For how many machines they have, they could really use some better variety and not just duplicates. The only reason they didn't get a 1 star review is because the staff here were great. Very nice and helpful. They deserve to work at a nicer location.

False advertising. Crunch will bill you an annual fee and not provide services that are mentioned on their website and membership agreement. I was a member this year for a few months then cancelled. I took my business elsewhere. To a clean new gym. Apparently this Crunch facility has promoted a new remodel gym coming soon for years. I encountered several problems at this location but this one was the main one. Here is what they do Not do with your annual fee: Crunch Fitness charges an annual fee to cover the cost of maintaining and improving their facilities and equipment. Crunch Fitness reinvests a large portion of monthly fees into buying and maintaining high-quality cardio machines and strength training equipment. 

The annual fee helps cover the cost of maintaining the club's facilities, including cleaning supplies, heating and cooling systems.

Ok gym for the money. Two complaints: every time I go, I have to wait for the cleaning lady to finish cleaning the locker rooms. Cleanliness is good. Wasting my time isn't. The other is the same complaint I have about every gym; loud crappy music 90% of the time. ALL of us wear our own earbuds! We don't want to have to crank up our volume so high it's going to give us hearing damage and just to block out the loud crap you play. Seriously. Stop it.

About payment I tried to cancel my membership on jun they didn’t help me until July now suddenly I see my bank account they charged me on August , September, twice on October and another charge this month I called and they did not help me understand why I still got charged when i had already canceled I have screenshots about every transaction and emails I got. They are just seeing how to take money away.

Nobody goes to this gym because they are scammers. They took my money and they don't want to give me my money back. I paid 10 dollars to sign up for one day with a captain and he told me I have an appointment on Friday at 7 and I went and didn't tell the captain. He told me to come on Saturday. The captain told me to come on Monday. They are scammers and thieves.
