Harbor Bay Club: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Best club in the Bay Area!
Negative experience: I’m currently trying to cancel my membership but their membership services team is requiring pay for two months when I haven’t been to the club since January. they are also expecting a full month of pay of March when we called the first day of the month to cancel. Coming here for years, the amount of money that it costs to come here does not justify the experience. Especially with the service that has been provided during this time.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoy this quaint club. Nice sized club, lovely pool with an killer view, kids programs, great location
Positive experience: For the price, I expect better. It’s a great space but a time Capsule: outdated equipment, old carpeted changing rooms and most group classes are scheduled between 9-5, so very difficult to attend if those are your working hours. The thing that fully turned me off are the sweaty equipments because most people don’t clean after themselves, even though I see the cleaning staff doing a few rounds.
Fantastic experience: One of the best facilities in the east bay!
Negative experience: The price is expensive, but everything is old.
Fantastic experience: I love HBC. The place is a little old but very clean. Swimming in the pool is my happy place. Staff is nice and there’s plenty of machines.
Fantastic experience: Played pickleball here and courts are beautiful. Can't believe the courts were not completely full.. Thanks Patrick (instructor) & Roxanne Wong for the fun!
Fantastic experience: I went as a guest and the place seemed really nice. Lots of equipment, clean facilities, and nice people.
Positive experience: Pretty old clientele for sure where family plans are a real thing. The facility is old but passable. They seem to keep it clean. Feels like you got to the party late. But it's close and people seem to be cordial.
Negative experience: I did a one day trial 6 months ago. The pool and tennis courts are nice, but this gym lacks the most basic equipment to do strength training. I don’t understand how they have a personal training program without the proper equipment. For example, they have 6 barbells but only 1 clamp and 1 barbell pad. That’s not enough clamps for even 1 barbell. They said members have to bring their own equipment if they’re missing. They also only have one squat rack. During my trial, it was incredibly uncomfortable having to compete with other members to use equipment. For the price of this gym, I expected better.
Negative experience: Wv
Positive experience: Courts forever!

Fantastic experience: Love to relax here
Fantastic experience: I have not actually been in the facility but the person who answered the phone was very informative and sent a follow up email with more details the same day.
Positive experience: Good gym, front desk staff are friendly
Fantastic experience: I miss the gym-since Covid I haven’t been back there but I really did enjoy my membership until the prices started to increase due to covid- I couldn’t really afford to pay a separate fee for swimming besides my membership fee-people are friendly lots of great classes included with membership. They keep it as clean as possible.
Positive experience: Missing one star until the clubhouse opens back up :)
Positive experience: I finally felt secure enough go return to the gym, and their COVID precautions make me feel comfortable and safe. Things are kept clean and disinfected in the gym and locker room.

Fantastic experience: Harbor Bay Club is a lovely quiet oasis on Bay Farm, facing the water. This review is really for a massage therapist who works there, Lori Melero. I have worked with Lori Melero for several years, so when she relocated her practice there- I followed her. Lori has over 20 years of experience that has allowed her to hone her unique blend of gentle intuitive massage, body work, and energy clearing. She also skillfully infuses essential oils into her work with clients if they want that. Lori creates a calming, safe, and non-judgmental space for her clients to rejuvenate and to heal. Her work is powerful and effective. I always feel big rippling shifts in my body and life for weeks after a session with her. If you're looking for a massage that is more than just a massage, but something that also helps your body and life balance and expression- see Lori Melero!
Fantastic experience: The best way to spend a day....
Fantastic experience: Best pool
Thanks for the high marks, Alicia. Wishing you all the best. -Louise Howard, Club Manager

Fantastic experience: Great health club! Family oriented, in a beautiful setting, the staff is wonderful! Gym, hot tub, heated pool, spa, tennis, child care, after school kids club, summer kids camp, etc.
Fantastic experience: Exelente lugar para ur en bicicleta
Positive experience: Nice location but dated place
We're grateful for the stars, Gaurav. Let us know if there's ever anything specific we can do to make your time with us even better. -Louise Howard, Club Manager
Positive experience: Nice outdoor celebration area.
Positive experience: Great place to have events. Membership required
Thanks for the high rating, Vince! We're grateful for the support. If you ever need anything, please let us know. -Louise Howard, Club Manager
Positive experience: Overpriced. Not worth the money, but so many people you know go there that you get sucked in. Don't like the yearly membership. They need to offer a summer package.
Negative experience: Disappointed with my family membership in the club. This place seems to be geared towards elder members and kids under 14 are not welcome/allowed in most of their programs or classes no matter how well behaved the kids are. When we were sold the membership the rep reassured us that our kids could participate in the classes. Anyway they refunded our membership in full. So I would not recommend this club for families with kids. So if you are looking to hang out with lots of older ladies who dislike kids this is the club for you.
Fantastic experience: Very quiet-no loud music or cell phone use, serene views, staff is great, nice amenities too.
I'm glad we've been a comfortable and relaxing place for you, Heike! Let me know if there's ever anything I can do for you. -Louise Howard, Club Manager
Fantastic experience: This gym has so many ammenities as well as a great after school program which my son attends every school day. With enrichment classes, homework help, as well as healthy snacks we love it!
I'm so happy that all our amenities are to your liking, Mallory! We love having your son as part of our Kids Club program, as well. Thanks for the wonderful review! - Louise Howard, Club Manager
Fantastic experience: Great family fitness center.
Thank you very much, Deanna! I really appreciate seeing all five stars from you, and if there's ever anything you need, be sure to let me know. -Louise Howard, Club Manager

Positive experience: Great overall club and spa. Friendly community.
Thank you very much, Peter! We love being a part of the community here in Alameda. Let me know if there's ever anything I can do for you! -Louise Howard, Club Manager
Positive experience: You can go and have spa services even if you're not a member. The place is showing its age but I kinda like the retro feel of the locker room.
Thanks for reviewing our spa, Julie! We're always thinking of ways to get better, and I hope you'll come back and check out our improvements as time goes on. -Louise Howard, Club Manager
Positive experience: A nice selection of equipment, beautiful location, warm pool, but definitely needs an update from the late 80's early 90's decor. The women's locket room needs to be scrubbed with bleach and recaulked to get rid of the moldy parts. Recent massage done was ok, but there is zero ambiance to the spa area. You can tell the lack of flow from turning raquetball rooms into weight areas, it needs to be updated badly!
Thank you for the sincere feedback. We were in the process of renovating the Spa waiting room and treatment rooms the second week of September and it is complete and beautiful. Please let me know if you would like to book an appointment, I would like to extend our 10% discount off of one Spa service. Suggestions from members such as yourself will prove very important for our growth. In the meantime, always let us know if you have any questions or concerns and we'll do everything we can to address them. -Louise Howard, Club Manager
Negative experience: I just had a very disappointing interaction with the head of maintenance for the club regarding the bike locks. Some of you may have noticed that the club intends to cut off any locks left attached to the bike rack. I am one of those that leaves a U-lock type bike lock at the club because it is one of the most secure locks, and not easily carried while you are riding. For convenience, consequently, I leave the lock attached and retrieve it when I am at the club. I understand the desire of the club to remove the locks, but I think there should be a reasonable alternative, which I suggested to the maintenance person - build a small free standing rack out of galvanized pipe, placed in one of the dirt planter areas near the bike rack, and let those who want to store a lock there do so. Seems simple and provides a reasonable accommodation. The maintenance person, clearly uninterested in my suggestion offered this solution - "take your lock with you." Thank you sir, for the insight and interest in trying to see other options. I am quite disappointed in the interaction and dismissive way the maintenance person conducted the conversation.
Positive experience: Fitness director emailed for my input on when to meet for the Get Active package, but I haven't received a response yet in the past 7 days. I sent info requested a 2nd time now.
Positive experience: Facilities and equipment are in dire need of upgrade, but the pool overlooking the estuary is terrific.
