City Sports Club

I'm gonna be honest here - I can't justify giving this place more or less than 3 stars because I've only been a member here for 2 days, but I can say a few things; Staff seemed a bit too eager to make a sell. (I know it's their job, but I'd like to you know...try the gym out before jumping on board) which was not an option. There is a ton of machines here, and free-weights, bench-presses, squat racks, etc which is great - but the thing is this place appears to always be jam-packed. I like to work-out early in the morning, so I may just hold onto my planet fitness membership, since it's quite empty there early mornings, and then see if this place grows on me after a few more weeks. One last thing, (not that this is a pro/con against the gym itself) but the people here are largely serious about working out. I'd say 75% of the people in the gym at any given time are there to do business, not play around.

Disappointed with Gym Culture and Cleanliness I visited City Sports Club at 24500 Hesperian Blvd, Hayward, CA, for the first time today. I live nearby, so the location is convenient, and I signed up for a membership yesterday. My initial experience started on a positive note—the lady at the front desk was incredibly sweet, helpful, and joyful. Her customer service was excellent. Unfortunately, my experience went downhill from there. The gym culture at this location is messy and unhygienic. Unlike Crunch Fitness/Planet Fitness, where members consistently clean up after themselves and wipe down equipment, this gym seems to lack those basic standards. Many members here use equipment and just walk away without cleaning up. The weight setup also left a lot to be desired. While the gym has a lot of machine weights, it seems heavily focused on them and lacks variety in free weights. There are only three squat racks, which is very limiting for anyone focusing on strength training. To be honest, I’m glad I didn’t choose this location as my home gym. My job takes me past the City Sports Club at Whipple, and I’ll be trying that location tomorrow. Based on this visit, I likely won’t return here unless I’m only planning to use the cardio machines/Sauna room. This was a disappointing experience overall.

Everybody here is cool af Irvin and Trust the MMA and boxing trainers they are the true definition of personal training. Except JT he ain't so cool tbh.

Gym has gone down hill in the last 9 months. Broken and worn out equipment. Lots of equipment has ripped seats. Dirty bathrooms, no cleaning equipment on the weekends. Basically everything I left Planet Fitnes for

Basic repairs have taken a long time lately. They have been 2 bikes and 2 treadmills out of order since October. There is plenty of cardio so I don't think it has bothered enough people to complain. 2 of the biggest issues with the amount of torn upholstery across the weight machines and benches. Technically this is a OSHA violation as bacteria grows in the padding when the vinyl is ripped. There is a bench completely missing a mid back pad that can lead to injury. Club should definitely purchase 3 more olympic bars. There are 3 squat racks, 3 flat benchs, 2 incline benches, 1 decline bench and 1 shoulder press. There are only 7 bars so people constantly move a 7ft bar around the gym to work out. You would think with New Years crowds coming in there would be an attempt to repair obvious visual issues along with out of order equipment.
