City Sports Club

"I joined City Sports Club in Berkeley through a program Kaiser offers. I went in for the first time today (a Sunday afternoon) to get checked in. Paola was at the front desk and was so lovely. I didn’t meet with anyone regarding membership, so I can’t say anything about that process. There were plenty of machines available throughout the gym. Everything seemed really clean. There are sanitizing wipes in every area to wipe off before and after. The locker rooms and shower/hot tub area looked very well maintained. I’m happy I was able to join and got a great rate through the ActiveFit program Kaiser offers."

"The employees are very kind and helpful. The interior is very clean, the equipment is not bad, it is like new. I've been here for about a few months. However, it gets a little busy after 6pm, around 6-7pm. But we can still do sports. I advise. This service is really good for this price, as you know it is very difficult to find a place that provides service around here in every sense."

"The gym and equipment are great. Staff could use some training. Especially in customer service. Have had multiple unpleasant encounters with the front desk worker. First time, I had asked for directions to the parking garage. She had an attitude and said she didn’t know. Second interaction was when there was a line of 15 people waiting to check in. One man skipped the line to use the restroom. She did not have the scanner out and was making everyone wait. She yelled at him and again had a very unprofessional attitude. Takeaway: some people should not work in customer service."

"Great gym, easy to get to by foot. Mike the manager is super helpful, friendly and accommodating. The gym is very well kept; clean, up to date equipment, jacuzzi and pool area are as well!!!"

"I had just ended my membership at Planet Fitness and wanted to try something new. So I decided to give City Club Sports a try. I've driven past this particular club many times and have always wanted to see the space. There is a wide variety of equipment to choose from. They have free weights and machines that can be utilized to meet your fitness needs. Lots of space, a pool, hot tub in locker rooms and parking is validated for 2 hours. I'm giving this gym 4 stars for two reasons. The first one is that some of the staff working here aren't very friendly. They won't even look your way and greet you, or say hi. Most gyms I go into the staff are thrilled to at least have some sort of human interaction with the members. The other reason is because, they don't have a pull up bar section that allows you to go up and over the bars for the muscle up workout (which is something I do often in my routines). Other than that, the gym is solid and I'm happy to have gotten my membership here. Looking forward to trying out other clubs in the Bay Area."
