The Club at City Center

Fantastic experience: Great service, great facilities. Can hop into basketball games, racketball and squash too.

Fantastic experience: I got a month membership here and I tried it out. It was wonderful! There's always plenty of locker space and there's locks that come with it which you can pin on your shirt or carry around with you as you work out. Lots of showers. I went their around 5 times a week, sometimes twice a day and I only had to wait for a shower maybe twice. They have a sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. As far as the workout equipment goes, there was only once when I couldn't get on the machine I wanted (stairmaster) and it was because two were out of commission. They got those fixed within a week I think.

Fantastic experience: I couldn't imagine a better place to work out; clean, respectful clientele, non-noisy.

Fantastic experience: Nicest and largest Club One of the San Francisco and East Bay. Outdoor swimming pool, loads of machines, free weights, cardio (including ergometers), full size indoor basketball court, a running track above it, jacuzzi, sauna, steam, nice lockers, varried clientele, everyone pretty nice and relaxed. Lots of different classes.

Positive experience: The facility overall is very nice, large space with modern vibe. The staff is professional and welcoming. A variety of activities for all adult ages and levels. After a great workout, the shower pressure is A+. I would give a 5/5 if the music played outside of classes, in the shower area, the lobby, etc., was perhaps more calming like jazz. The hip hop vibe, the lyrics to some of the music can be at minimum anxiety provoking and disrespectful. There are so many genres that could be included in the music choices.

Positive experience: Good gym with the potential to be a great gym. Clean, never too crowded, awesome staff and decent equipment. The facility is beautiful too! The main reason I cannot award five stars is the hours. I wish they opened earlier and closed later. Also, the hot tub in the men’s locker room has been broken for a really long time. It’s definitely the best option in Oakland unless you want to drive to Berkeley and go to equinox, but with Bay Area traffic that’s just not an option unfortunately.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to this club for many years, I enjoy the equipments, classes, teachers facilities and staff.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful place to work out! I always had an outstanding experience at the Club with friendly people in a motivating environment.

Fantastic experience: Great gym, always sparkly clean! I’m looking for real HIIT class/ pilates without paying the extra $30/class. Everything else is great!

Fantastic experience: Dear Owner, thank you so much for your pinpoint accuracy of making the phenomenal gym so clean and comfortable with a staff cleaning the machines around the clock. The atmosphere is so clean that I really enjoy my workout routine like any other time. Sincerely your 4 year member Mark

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Always an energizing start to my day.

Positive experience: Fantastic health club! Super spacious and super clean with friendly staff plus all the amenities. Really an inviting place and a good deal with classes and full array of workout options. Outdoor pool!

Fantastic experience: I play basketball there three times per week. Good games MWF at Noon, usually full court, sometimes 3 x 3 half court. Capable players of a considerable age range, and no arguing. Very nice facility. Staff are friendly and accommodating.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym! I love all the classes: Yoga, Zumba, Bootcamp, Barre Fit. Great pool, steam room and sauna. The staff is super friendly and the facilities are sparkling clean.

Positive experience: Updating my prior review: This place is awesome! Spacious, not too crowded, all of the necessary equipment and super friendly staff. It’s honestly a really great gym, and they don’t lock you into a bogus long-term contract which is a huge benefit. In order to get 5 stars though they need to: 1) Add labels to the kettlebells, as many are hard to read. 2) Put towels in the locker room, not the front desk. Here’s an example of why: The other day the staff took my fresh towel while I was in the steam room. Obviously i’m not going to walk out in a towel to the front to get a new towel, so i had to shower and dry off with my sweaty towel. 3) Put a towel holder near the steam room. There’s no place to put your fresh towel while you steam except at the top of one of the showers. 4) Larger towels. I’m pretty trim and they barely fit around my waist 5) Put towel bins near lockers. Why would I have to carry my wet towel all the way back towards the shower area, or to the entrance of the locker room. The bins should be where people change. 6) Eucalyptus spray in the steam room. The bottle is rarely there and even when it is the smell is more like a weak menthol eucalyptus 7) Glass shower doors, or weights at bottom of curtains. The curtains always blow up onto your body if people are walking nearby and it’s gross. Many people have now resorted to showering with no curtain closed 8) Free coffee in the morning 9) Turn downstairs studio (never used) into a cafeteria or at least a smoothie bar 10) Have the water fountain on the 2nd floor in the weight room not static shock you. Every time I go for a drink I get shocked 11) Complete renovation on the hot tub. It’s been over a year What I took off the original list: 1) New kettlebells, all the same brand 2) Fit3d door always unlocked 3) Ab roller wheels

Fantastic experience: The Club is a great fitness center with tons of room and all of the amenities you could hope for. Free weights, machines, basketball courts, swimming pool, spin classes, sauna, plenty of lockers, etc.. The staff is always friendly, the facilities are clean, and the price is reasonable. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone in the area.

Fantastic experience: Love, love, love the fragrant, beautiful GARDENIAS that greet you in the women's locker room - so classy! I have always loved this club because they take care to brighten your day in small and big ways from the gorgeous flowers to the friendly hard-working cleaning staff and top trainers.

Fantastic experience: Great work out

Fantastic experience: For the longest time I was looking for the right training facility to become a member at. Started at 24 hr, next tried the YMCA, then I found the Club at City Center and couldn't be happier. The equipment is brand new, the staff is authentically pleasant and the facility is always really clean. If you're new to the area and looking for a gym the Club is the best available In DT Oakland.

Fantastic experience: Amazing vibe, dope basket ball courts and equipment. Favorit gym in Oakland

Fantastic experience: I got a sneak peek today. The remodel is beautiful! They're making some great changes and have good COVID protocols in place. I can't wait until they open!

Fantastic experience: One of the best gyms in Oakland, tiny bit over priced but worth it

Fantastic experience: The gym is never crowded, there is a huge variety of machines, numerous workout areas , the lock rooms are clean, the steam room is always working.

Positive experience: Open space and usually not crowded. Of course it picks up around 5pm, but most of the time there’s space to workout. Unfortunately the locker room is not reflective of the high priced monthly fees. With $105/month, the place should show great maintenance and cleanliness, but there’s always something out of order, lights are out in the showers, and bathroom needs a remodel.

Fantastic experience: Due to the specifics of my work, I have to be in different states. I go when there is time local gyms. Yesterday I went to this gym and I really liked it ... the hall in three levels had all the conditions created, but most importantly, everything was clean .... there are no unpleasant odors in the shower room, steam room and dry sauna .

Fantastic experience: I have been a member for 3+ years and I am happy with the facility. It attracts a professional busy crowd so there are not too many people just “chilling” there. There are three floors and it is a relatively spacious. It’s possible to find a quiet spot to do a workout on your own especially during less busy hours. People are complaining about price /facilities. But, relatively speaking it’s better than the YMCA and other gyms that may cost $80/ month or less. For an extra $20-30 , you get lockers that can be locked with a code ( no need to bring your own lock), cleaner, more spacious, friendly staff, pleasant, better/easier parking options, more convenient if you work or live in the area.

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Clean facilities, friendly staff, and great community.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful gym - clean, spacious, good facilities. Steam room and sauna a great added luxury.

Fantastic experience: The facility and staff is great. Probably one of the best gyms I have every joined throughout my life. :-)

Fantastic experience: I live in NY and used their 3 day pass. Easily the best gym I've been to. The equipment they have is fantastic and the most I've seen it crowded is totally manageable.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love this place … The members are so respectful and the Staff is the Best… This has to be one of the best gyms in the Bay…!

Fantastic experience: Nice

Fantastic experience: This gym is so well-maintained! I absolutely love working out here. The group fitness classes are high quality, the locker rooms are super nice, and the staff is extremely friendly. Completely worth the cost of membership!!!

Fantastic experience: This place is CLEAN!!!! The pool is clean. The sauna and steam room are clean. The whole facility is clean. That is why I am here instead of 24-hour fitness. I love this place. It's worth the money!

Fantastic experience: Best gym in Oakland !!

Fantastic experience: I love the surveys. The negatives were acted on immediately. Things got done. I ABSOLUTELY love this facility. I do recognize the changes and I am extremely pleased. I spend alot of time in the spa, steam room, sauna, and showers. The constant cleaning of showers and picking up of towels from lazy members is greatly appreciated. Kudos to the management, front desk, and cleaning staff. Way to make this club stand out! I advertise daily and will continue. Again, KUDOS!!!!
