Best Gyms with Steam Rooms near Sf, California

I had such a horrible and uncomfortable experience with the front desk receptionist. He must not have been trained on creating a good customer experience. I have been to Equinox’s all over the country and couldn’t believe the treatment that I had. So unfortunate because I went to the Union St location the day before and had such a lovely encounter with their manager. I would never go to this location again.

They are very quick to send spam emails for referrals every two weeks yet when a referral signs up, they will make up rules that aren’t disclosed anywhere to not give the bonus. They will do anything to keep signing up people for their already crowded and small gym, but upholding their end of the agreement seems like a feat not worth respecting. Deceitful and incompetent customer service is what they do best.

Took a yoga class w Mary here and she was very warm and welcoming. It was challenging and a great workout. This location is sprawling. The art deco furniture is super fun. Tons of equipment. Personalized pumpkins. The details in the decor makes this location great for working!

Ok gym. Too crowded but good classes. Water pressure too low, tho I didn’t experience the no hot water issue others mentioned. I was told I’ll be able to freeze my account 60 days each year before I joined, but it’s actually just once per year for either 1 or 2 months at a time. Well that doesn’t work out too well for its clientele who probably travel often, does it? Hate chains like these trying to trick their members. Yet another reminder this is just a big corp trying to extract as much $ as possible. I did have a great 1:1 personal training experience tho. It was the first trainer I liked ever in the US. She listened to my concerns, paid full attention to my forms the entire time, and gave me the exact feedback I had been looking for. Unlike my previous trainers, she never looked at her phone once or tell me my forms were just “fine” when I complain about back pain. My pilates lesson was just average, so the quality of personal sessions vary a lot by the trainers/instructors.

Highly recommend trainer Travis for anyone starting off their fitness journey. Travis is very knowledgeable, patient and charismatic. Overall staff is very nice This equinox is well maintained as well.

I’ve been a member of Equinox for pretty long time, and I’m extremely frustrated with the recent experience I’ve had with their billing and customer service. I requested to freeze my membership for one month, as per the terms of my agreement, but was still charged the full price for that month. Despite reaching out to the gym’s management multiple times to request a refund, they have refused to correct the issue or issue a refund, even though it was clearly their error. I’ve always been happy with the gym's facilities and services, but this lack of responsiveness and failure to honor the freeze terms has been incredibly disappointing. I expect better from a company of this caliber, and I would caution anyone considering a membership to be aware of how they handle billing discrepancies. I’m considering taking further action to resolve this, but it’s been a frustrating and time-consuming process.

The gym is big and has a good variety of equipments, despite that I’m unsure if it’s worth the 300+ membership. The pool is always crowded and many swimmers don't wear caps. The front desk lady was pretty rude and unhelpful, the worst I dealt with compared to all other sf locations

This gym is enormous! They have all the latest equipment and keep this location incredibly clean. I love they have weights in 2.5lb increments (22.5lb and 27.5lb dumbbells)! It’s very spacious and the equipment is placed strategic for many types of workouts.

I came into this club with high expectations but unfortunately had a disappointing experience with the front desk staff. I arrived on a Tuesday evening at 7 PM and explained that I wanted to tour the location because I was considering switching my active membership from the Berkeley club ($226/month) to this club ($305/month with a corporate discount). However, the staff member informed me that, due to the club’s different tier, I couldn’t do a walkthrough on my own and would need to meet with a membership advisor. When I asked if a manager was available to assist, I was told there was none. I then asked if he could simply switch my membership on the spot so I could use the gym immediately. His response? “I can’t do that; you need to meet with a membership advisor.” This made no sense—why would switching an active membership require a manager or advisor? All that’s needed is to adjust which club bills me and the associated cost. To make matters worse, he suggested I pay $45 for a day pass to use the gym. Paying for a day pass at a gym where I’m already a paying member, shelling out $226/month, is absurd. After I made it clear I wasn’t interested in the day pass, he asked again if I wanted him to charge my card on file for it. What’s especially frustrating is how much worse the customer service was here compared to the Berkeley club. At Berkeley, I’ve had managers directly reach out to help resolve issues and ensure my experience as a member was positive. The contrast couldn’t be starker: while Berkeley provides proactive and thoughtful service, this club left me feeling like my loyalty as a paying member wasn’t valued at all. Other locations, such as Beale Street and Pine Street, also provide far superior service: Beale Street Club: Their staff were much friendlier and accommodating. When they couldn’t switch my membership on the spot, they apologized sincerely and took the initiative to connect me with their membership team. Pine Street Club: Also a great experience, with helpful and welcoming staff. For a club that charges significantly more, I expected much better. If you’re considering a membership here, I’d strongly recommend looking at other locations that value and respect their members.

The gym is fairly well equipped. It feels like a converted office. I think people join for the classes. Not many power racks and they don't get used very much. Equipment is always open. Nice executive lockers if you want your gym clothes laundered. It's a minor benefit and I always found the towels smell like old coffee. Also they shrunk my shorts and all the labels peeled off my shirts. My advice: keep it simple with fitness sf, instead.

Just tried this place and decided to quit early because there are too many creepy people everywhere that you go. In the locker room, there is a "Chatty Cathy" Filipino man, a master of small talk, that won't leave you alone. In the same area, there is an old black man that lays on a bench while doing a stretching routine without cloths. After the place opens, it quickly turns into a massive daycare with toddlers running all around. The locker rooms, as well as the weight room, fill up with under aged youths. Other than that, the place is generally very clean with numerous amenities such as clean towels, sani wipes, drinking water, liquid soaps, etc. The steam room does quite well as you begin to perspire immediately upon entering. Go early to avoid the the onslaught of the little people and beware of the creeps!

JCC is a great gym. It’s super clean and the facilities are maintained well. The staff is friendly and helpful as well as the instructors. HOWEVER, I do not appreciate the thousands of unfriendly wipes that we must use to clean equipment as they contribute to unneeded and destructive trash to our environment. Do better JCC!!

Large, clean and friendly - probably the best gym in SF. Came here a couple of times on guest passes. They are expensive ($45) and require a prior tour of the facility but the value for money is still OK with gym, pool, sauna, towels, water etc. included. Staff is particularly nice. The crowd working out here is a good mix of all ages and fitness levels. Highly recommended.

The JCCSF is my refuge. I love the gym, classes, pool, and amenities in the locker room. It is clean and light with lots of windows and good ventilation.The staff is customer friendly.The cultural events are diverse. There are activities for all ages with respect for those with disabilities. 🙏

i have been coming to the gym here since 2017. every single employee is wonderful, the facilities are sparking clean (thank you amazing maintenance staff❤️) and state of the art. if you can afford it, come here!
