City Sports Club

"I know after work times are peak times, but this is By far the busiest Gym I ever been to. From 2-830 on the weekdays you can expect majority of the machines to have 3+ people hovering over them mostly talking. They also do a swim school around 3pm which the pool was the main reason I joined. Thanks. Its pretty much fairly busy majority of the time though the weekends are better. But I did have to give it positive stars because the staff was not as pushy or sleazy as the Berkeley Gym, the gym is still reletively cleanish after all these years and the pool is actually pretty clean. I seen the Pool guy telling some kids to go shower before going in so good on them. But unless you are a cardio junky or like the dance room a lot, its pretty frustrating here."

"Worst establishment ever! Again, no one was here today at 5 AM to open the place. Many people standing outside again. No one ever comes on time especially on Fridays to open up the gym. Not only is it nasty and dirty, we also have to contend with employees, not coming on time to open up at 5 AM! Management never ever does anything about this, never a resolution. These people don’t care about folks that pay their money to come to this gym. Don’t waste your time joining you will truly regret it. I would give this place a zero, but it’s not there, so I have to rate it at one."

"The patrons at this gym are what make it bad. No one respects the equipment. City Sports in Berkeley has perfectly racked dumbbells every time I visit. The dumbbells at the Pinole location are strewn across the gym and never racked in their respective locations. The patrons destroy the bathroom as soon as the doors open. I feel bad for the custodian he is a hard working sweetheart. Lot of ego lifters here."

"Equipment goes several weeks without maintenance. There is only one of these leg machines (picture) at the club and it has been broken for over a month."

"I'm going to start this review by saying, the gym itself is a good gym, the staff is friendly, the machines are in working conditions. Although... I give it a 2 because they're housekeeping, in the women's locker room is terrible, this been going on for months. Even when there was a lady working there, there would be missing paper towels or toilet paper, or garbage on the floors. Also the maintenance in the locker room Is a bit a long wait. I remember when the bench in the sauna was broken, it took them weeks for that to get fixed, or when the toilets got broken also took a while. I understand that the customers of the gym can also keep the locker clean by throwing their garbage away, but obviously some don't do that. The floors are definitely dirty, I wouldn't walk barefoot on that like I seen some ppl do. The lockers are also very dirty, have hair or other crums inside. I hope they can get this resolved soon, It's gross to see that locker like that."
