Bladium Sports & Fitness Club 800 West Tower Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501

"Customer service is terrible. I figured it’d be different than my experiences at 24 hour seeing as it’s a little more expensive and the facilities are nicer but I wasn’t happy after my interaction with the front desk people. Was given two different answers from two different people regarding a problem I was wanting to trouble shoot and the second gentleman I spoke to was cold and rude and I could tell he was just wanting to put an end to the conversation as quickly as possible as opposed to being of any help. Left a poor taste in my mouth. After reading other reviews it seems as though they love to scam customers on a regular basis. 10/10 would not recommend this gym. Pretty unfortunate."

"The fact that this gym is never packed and usually has whatever I need available is the main reason I pay the high price. The equipment is definitely old though. Most staff are nice except Tracie is just a mean miserable angry person. I don't know how someone that hostile and rude is supposed to be teaching people yoga."

"Not the Same Bladium as before! There’s been a change of management so the once Bladium we all knew and loved will be now turned into a Pickle Ball Center? (What even is Pickle Ball??) Gym Machines have been greatly reduced, Soccer Pitches have been removed, as well as Volleyball and Basketball Courts to make way for the new renovations. On top of all of this, despite them saying they won’t raise the price, THEY ARE!! Membership will go up from $75 to $80 dollars, and on top of this to even be able to use the new pickle ball courts you’ll have to pay $50 ON TOP of the 75$ monthly. Unfortunately the all-in-one, one of a kind fitness center we knew as the Bladium is sadly no more. :("

"Update - had to lower stars because the front desk does a poor job of customer service. They are not friendly, very corporate and profit-driven. They wanted to charge me $29 to reactivate my membership. Not very enthusiastic about me returning, they could care less, so I didn’t. Also, there are no guest passes so friends and family cannot work out with you unless they pay the drop in fee. The gym is really big with many things to do. The equipment is in good condition, and everything is clean. The locker rooms and bathrooms are newly renovated, clean, and spotless. The locker room is also big and has nice showers. Plenty of parking. Update: new ownership decided to axe CrossFit for more parking. Looks like they really needed it. They also decided to prioritize 18 pickle ball courts over the gym area; now everything is crammed into a smaller area than before they remodeled it."

"We went as part of a Box Lacrosse Competition for kids ages 12-16 and has a great time and experience. The staff was friendly, they are aged a great variety of food trucks to be on site, the facilities were clean and easy to find, and we loved having a great view of San Francisco and the bay between matches. Definitely worth the travel to be hosted here!"
