Bay Club Pleasanton

In town for business and had the pleasure of working out at this huge location. I only utilized the weight room. This place has good variety of different equipment. However, there needs to be some maintenance done on some of the equipment. For example, the LifeStyle cable system needs to be lubricated. Found some of the grips are tearing apart, some carabiners don’t close fully. Other than that, this is a really nice place with friendly staff and clean facilities.

When I complained about one of the gym rooms having globs of human hair & being unsanitary, it was never addressed. Instead I was charged for multiple months following after I attempted to cancel. The bathroom floors also looked visibly dirty. Classes are very crowded & equipment isn’t cleaned in between classes. I have switched gyms & it is more sanitary with more responsive staff. I was told a manager would call me, but they never followed up.

Bay Club is no longer worth the premium. I would have given Bay Club 5 stars at the start of my time there, but over the last year the quality has gone down by a large margin, at least at the Pleasanton location. There were spots of dried blood on the ground in multiple places that were there for literally months that the staff did not seem to care about despite me letting them know. Often, simple things like gym towels, paper towels, and soap will be empty. One of the main attractions is pool access as part of the membership, but they rent it out to third party clubs during peak hours in the summer so you're not even getting what you pay a premium for. They have a day care, but don't seem to mind if little kids are constantly running around the weight lifting area - it's insanely dangerous for the kid and the person exercising. Despite all this drop in quality, Bay Club increased rates three times within ONE year. I recently went to the Fitness 19 in Livermore and the weight room quality was equivalent to Bay Club in Pleasanton at around less than 20% of the price. You just don't have access to the pool or tennis courts. Edit: They commented to this review in less than an hour, but ignored my emails in the last couple months of my membership. :(

This place has everything. There are four pools including an adult only pool with underwater speakers that play music while you swim. There's a nice cafe with a range of food and drink options. And a huge selection of equipment, too. Lots of exercise classes and even child care is available onsite. The lockers and entire facility are very clean and well kept throughout. If you're looking for a new gym, definitely check this place out.

My 9 year old son recently joined a summer camp at Siliconvalley4u here, learning Python and Scratch. He was really interested in the courses, and after checking out the summer camps, we decided to sign up. He had a great time and learned a lot. Definitely recommend it, especially teacher Akhil!
