Great Service! I went to this gym for many years and Stephen the owner always was attentive and took care of the gym items and our memberships properly. Especially as a model and entrepreneur I always need an accessible 24 hour location! Great place! Highly recommended. read more

Anytime Fitness - The Backroom - Gyms Near Me - Alameda, California

So I was a member back in 2019 here originally and then Covid hit. Since then I moved to Vallejo and recently signed back up with Anytime fitness in Benicia. I visit Alameda every weekend because we go to church there and my family still lives there. So recently I've gone in and looks the same. Looks very run down, but I don't care as long as there's weights and a treadmill fine. Only worth coming here for me is the ski erg as I'm training more geared to Hyrox. I tried the rowing machine resistance doesn't work, and my foot keeps slipping out but that's fine ski erg is fine. I see anytime fitnesses gyms as better hotel gyms. It just sucks for the price you wish you got better equipment. Anytime fitness gyms are different. So far this alameda location and Pinole have the ski erg used for Hyrox so in case anyone looking into getting into that sport in the Bay Area. Gonna check the other locations as well in the future. read more

This is a nice gym. It's small, but it has the right stuff for me. I like to use selectorized strength machines to avoid injury and focus on isolated muscles. It's a 24/7 facility, but staff are unavailable from late evenings until the early morning. I showed up at 10:00am for my tour. As far as members, hardly anyone was there. A perfect time for me. It's about $50 a month. No contracts and no initiation fees. $40 for a keyless entry fob. And, with the fob, you have access to any location. Free parking! read more

Excellent Anytime Fitness location, owner is responsive and gym is both clean and equipment well maintained. 10/10 read more

Clean, good equipment, low membership fees, and great management. Truly open 24 hours a day. I had limited interaction with the staff but when I did they were respectful, friendly, helpful and professional. There is a lot of value here, especially if you live anywhere in Alameda or close by in Oakland. read more

Of the few gyms in Alameda, they are all small, but the most popular one is just too packed for my taste, and the hours on the weekend don't work for me, so I decided to check out Anytime Fitness. Roughly ten years ago I used to go to the other Anytime Fitness location, and I had also went to a location out in Reno when I was in school. I reached out to the owner on Yelp and he was very helpful, allowing me to try both of the gyms before making a decision. It being 24 hours is helpful, and I like that it can sometimes be empty. I haven't gone in during a time when it's been empty, but I like the idea of it for times when I just don't feel like talking and want to get the workout over and done with. This location is cool. It looks like they got some new lockers, and some of those new lockers have keys. I believe there are two showers and two bathrooms, which is helpful for those looking to get a sesh in before work but still wanting to wash up. The studio area is tiny, but I love having the TRX ropes and if it's not too crowded, I can get warmed up in that area. This isn't my preferred location, but I like the option of being able to go to any Anytime location I want. No, it isn't the largest gym but it gets the job done, looks clean, is near Lucky supermarket if you need to get some grocery shopping done after your workout, and it isn't packed. Everyone in there is actually working out, and I noticed the weights were often in the right place. Customer service and it being 24 hours would make it four stars, but the size is why I'm giving it three. read more

Update: Stephen responds to negative yelp reviews, but doesn't actually read! I've never seen anyone at the desk, they don't return phone calls, and emails bounce unless their team initiates. It's an admin shiz show. Further, they really did send me to a collection agency within 18 hours of the first transaction failure on my card! The called the collection agency before attempting to contact me about it! Who wants to join a gym that tanks your credit rating? I've been trying to cancel my membership for 4 months. There's never anyone at the desk. The don't answer the phone and never return voicemails. Emails bounce. In desperation. I canceled my card and they reported me to collections less than 24 hours after the first failed transaction with no way to reach them to resolve it. Run far, run fast. You don't need this shitty gym for that read more

I booked a gym tour at 6:30 PM, only to arrive and find the gym completely unstaffed. What's the point of offering a 6:30 appointment if no one is there to honor it? This kind of mismanagement and lack of communication is completely unprofessional. Time is valuable, and mine was wasted. read more

The restrooms are always filthy. The photos displayed are an improvement of what it actually looks like. The treadmills and ellipticals are of low quality. read more

Anytime Fitness - Shower 1 - Gyms Near Me - Alameda, California

I am SO grateful for having Anytime Fitness in Alameda! Stephan and the staff team are super awesome and they make sure that we are always taking good care of our bodies. Both locations are accessible all the time and super clean. The machines are always in perfect condition The membership is very affordable. Plus... I love the new upgraded interior design and the positive inspirational and writing posts on the walls. ¡Muchas gracias! read more

great gym, chill owner and great gym equipment. and it's 24/7 but not too busy has showers in bathrooms as well read more

This place is pretty good for the price. I went here initially on a free trial. The owner was there (he also owns the one on Bay Farm), and he gave me the trial. The advantages of this place are simple: its quiet and its open 24/7. You can go at anytime with a badge card that opens the front door. The disadvantages are that it is small and there aren't too many machines. If you like just a basic workout though, its more than enough. They give discounts for students, military, and people who live in the nearby marinas. read more

I enjoy working out at this location, I feel safe no matter what time I go and everyone keeps to themselves. The gym is clean and well kept. The only issue I have that has not become somewhat frequent is sometimes it's hard to complete my workout as some people like to use 2-3 machines at a time. read more

Nice, clean, reasonably priced. Smaller gym and location, but great if you are local and don't need as many of the advanced machines

A good, basic, small gym that's kept clean. Would it be nice to have a bit more room? Of course. Here about about eight months. They keep the restrooms and premises clean. You can get a lot done in 30-40 minutes, especially if come during the non-prime hours. I'd like the benches for bench press a little more standard. Have to get in there, adjust bench location, height of bar, etc. That's minor stuff. It has everything you need, even used the showers a couple times when had a plumbing issue at home. Other customers normal and focused as we are all there for same reasons more or less. read more

What a nice little gym! Anytime Fitness is a family-owned gym in Alameda. This is not a large gym, but no one should care about the size of their gym. I care most about cleanliness, machine selection, machine availability, classes, and location. CLEANLINESS: Anytime Fitness is wonderfully clean. The bathrooms are spotless, and so are the showers. The showers, by-the-way, are private inside private bathrooms. MACHINE SELECTION: They have all the basic machines. If you are looking for a specialized-machine, they probably won't have it. But they have every machine I could ever want. Probably about 35 total. MACHINE AVAILABILITY: Excellent. It does get a little more populated in the evenings, but by virtue of the fact that this gym is open 24/7, the patronage is more spreadout. I've never had to wait for a machine. CLASSES: They don't offer classes here, however, they do have an in-house personal trainer. LOCATION: Fantastic location near the Webster St. bridge, shopping, food, and ample parking. Please note, this is not a staffed gym. You use a little keyfob and make entry yourself anytime. They put little signs around the place providing instructions that have painful mispellings to read. These are designed to help the gym self-run. PRO-TIP: If you ask for a 7-day trial, they will gladly give it to you. SUMMARY: Great, clean gym with everything you need except a pool. read more

The Alameda gym is "best in class!" The gym is pristine and always clean, the members are quiet and respectful, and parking is a breeze. Most importantly, the owner, Stephan, is wonderful. He is intelligent, thoughtful, kind, and always responsive to questions concerning the gym. Stephan and his team consistently provide "flawless service" to their members! -An outstanding gym experience! Many thanks Stephan! -Elizabeth S. read more

Frickin' love this gym ! Legit, 24/7. Small mid-morning crowds and great equipment! Trainers are beyond helpful! read more

I've been lifting for 5 straight years and within that time I've visited/joined multiple gyms, and I'm a Powerlifter/bodybuilder. First pre COVID this gym was already cleaned and disinfected everyday by the staff which are friendly and nice. The anytime here and bay farm always had wipes and majority of the members were already wiping areas down so, if your on the fence about cleanliness don't worry it's always been clean. My favorite commercial gyms are anytime & crunch in San Lorenzo. Friendly staff and gym is clean. Anytime fitness gyms to me are like upscaled hotel gyms which are wonderful for first time gym goers and even if your bodybuilding because you have all the basic machines you need, racks & barbells so nothing you can't do here, but if you are trying to get into powerlifting seriously don't expect much because there's only 2 racks and 2 barbells so you might have to wait if they're occupied. But nonetheless the gym is for everyone and rarely at full capacity like 24hr fitness. And forgot it's 24/7 with a key card that is $40 1 time price so definitely worth it. read more

If you're expecting/looking for a gym with tons of amenities, classes, space, and lots of specialized equipment, this likely isn't the gym for you. However, if you're like me and just looking for a well-managed, clean, conveniently located, affordable gym that has all the equipment you need to meet your basic workout needs and isn't constantly over-crowded, then I'd highly recommend Anytime Fitness in Marina Village. Things I loved/thought were great: MANAGEMENT: Stephan, the owner, was always approachable, reasonable, and fair. For example, he proactively paused all charges for members when the gym had to close temporarily due to the COVID pandemic), which I was impressed with, especially considering how hard gym owners have been hit by the pandemic. He was frequently present and was always super-responsive to emails. CLEANLINESS: The gym was always very clean and machines well maintained. In the 2 years I was a member, I think I only ever saw one machine that was actually broken, which was quickly fixed within a couple of days. Members seem to be really proactive about wiping down machines after use. EQUIPMENT: It has all the basics most people need, including 2 squat racks (one of which can also be modified to be used as a bench/incline press), a smith machine, all the basic upper/lower body machines one might need to get a solid lower/upper body workout, barbells, dumbbells, different styles of exercise bikes, treadmills, elliptical machines, a stair machine, and a rowing machine. In the small studio, there are 2 sets of TRX straps, a set of battle ropes, and a heavy punching bag. OTHER PERKS: I loved being able to access other Anytime Fitness locations when travelling. I also really appreciated having lockers that actually locked, so I could leave my wallet/car keys and enjoy my workout worry-free. (Surprisingly, most other Anytime Fitness locations I visited only had unlocked cubbies, which made me nervous leaving keys etc.) There were a couple minor things that I noticed that could've been better. I live nearby so it wasn't a big deal to me, but the one time I tried the showers, the water pressure was noticeably low, so much so that I never tried using them again. Also, occasionally I would have issues using Spotify with the Wifi. Never figured out why when other apps usually worked fine, but it was a minor annoyance. Finally, like most gyms, it could also get a little busy at peak times (weekdays ~4:30-6:30ish), which sometimes resulted in having to wait to use a bench press or squat rack which I prefer to use at the start of my workout. That said, the wait usually wasn't too long and I typically was able to get my workout in in a reasonable amount of time. Overall, this gym met my needs extremely well during my time living in Alameda and would recommend to anyone with similar workout needs! read more

This place is like my home away from home! I usually come here several days a week to use the cardio machines. It's so quiet and clean when I go, which is what I love about it. Plus, because it's so convenient, it has motivated me to go to the gym more...I have managed to lose 44 lbs since New Years Eve! Nice location, lots of parking. Bathrooms could use more attention, but other than that, a great place for a simple workout. read more

I signed up at this place because it's right by my house and it's very nice compared to where I used to go - Planet Fitness. It's not too crowded lately. The machines are ok. They're not very advanced but there are like 12 cardio stations. I bumped up to four stars because I had an issue with my bill and even though they ended up being correct (once a year you get charged 25 extra for maintenance) I was impressed by the customer service. read more

Anytime Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Alameda, California

This location is small but the club is clean and the equipment more modern than the one on Harbor Bay island. My only complaint is that the showers are residential style tubs and sinks--they give the bathrooms a dingiest feeling. They have the usual small club weights and cardio equipment and a small stretching area that is walled off from the rest of the club. Not as nice as the Anytime near my work or the Bladium, but much better than the Anytime on Harbor Bay. read more

Clean and well organized. Owner is extremely helpful and hands on. Staff are also very helpful and accommodating. Showers are very clean. All equipment is well maintained and up to date. The key card for 24 hour access is extremely convenient for us who work odd hours and the place feels very safe. Professional and laid back atmosphere all at the same time. It's a gym you won't regret going to. Thank you for running a class act operation. See ya soon. read more

I'm so sad I had to quit this gym because I moved. Manager is extremely helpful, gym is very clean and it's a perfect spot to workout without feeling intimidated. A+ read more

Facility is cool, clean, a bit small but it gets the job done. Lockers are nice but the locks could be replaced last year. No earth shattering complaints until we bring up the digital amenity we call WiFi. It works perfectly sometimes. Other times, you're better off turning it off. It has nothing to do with the connection being bogged down from too many users bc I'm the only one in the gym. No Internet connection: Reddit Twitter SnapChat Amazon Yelp Internet connection: IG Youtube Safari works for certain websites like google, yahoo, cnn, etc Could this be some type of conspiracy to keep gym members off their phones??? #woke read more

I'm almost afraid to write a good review because I don't want too many other people finding out about this gem/gym. My workouts consist of lifting and strength training, and as a woman, it's hard to find a safe space to do it in. My women's gym closed so I joined Anytime. I initially came in for a week trial, but the manager, Stephen, had me sold on day 1 and I signed up ASAP. He's amazing, and very attentive to his patron's needs. Gym had all the strength training machines you need. The squat rack isn't always taken, and it's never too busy to workout! Plenty of treadmills and cardio machines too. I'm never waiting to use any of the machines. Bathrooms are clean, and there are antibacterial wipes everywhere for you to wipe down equipment. Also, the 24 hour access is amazing. I love this place. It's my happy place. Also, they have 48302082 locations across the world! read more

I wasn't notified that this gym was opening back up after COVID-19 shutdown. Never received an email, no call, no mail, no text, nothing and I was charged $51/month for four months. Now I'm out $204 for a gym I didn't even use and couldn't use anyway since I moved. The manager who owns this place won't refund me. I'm reaching out to corporate to see if they can do something about it because that's some shady business practice. read more

Cons: Staff does not acknowledge their patrons. Bathrooms need more attention, especially since men & women can used them. There was a sheet posted on the board to make suggestions & there were some suggestions written on it, but it was taken down & hasn't been replaced yet... I haven't noticed any changes. It's getting more crowded. Need more cardio machines. Pros: Parking is great. read more

I totally recommend this Gym!!! They are great. Great customer service. I have been a member here for the past 2 years and have never had a problem. I love this gym because I feel confident and comfortable, its a woman's only gym. Great classes. My Daughter and me are members and are very happy. read more

This place is a joke. You are limited to a 3 minute shower! All the machine are bunched together. No room to move around without hitting another member... Not enough weights. You have to wait for free weights and machines and showers. Wait, wait, wait..... Plus staff is very unperfessional on handling stalker/preditor/staring people or people who like to take pictures of other members! I was kicked out when I made a complaint and told another member to stop staring at me.... You have to pay for club/gym enhancement?! What the ufkc? You dont make enough a year to pay for improvement? So I should be part owner if I buy equipment for the gym?!!!!! This dont sound like a business, sounds more like I line my pockets with your money. Watch how much of that gym enhancement the actually spend on equipment. I you collect $10,000 in enhancement fees I would think you would buy a professional machine to add not a room with streching equipment..... Cheap..... Dont be fooled! Go to a real gym read more

Luliia Korchagina is the best fitness trainer that I have ever met! She combines different approaches in her training. I like resistance training with elements of Pilates and stretching at the end of every workout. After a month of training with her I saw the positive changes of my body shape, -- but more importantly, I noticed a huge change in my mental health and mood. I was surprised to see such improvement in my ability to do daily activities and live a full and healthy life. read more

The gym is great! The manger is extremely professional and helpful. He was always responsive to my emails and ensures that his members are getting the best experience. The gym and all equipment were always clean and sanitized wipes were provided to wipe down the equipment before and after workouts. It has every machine you think you would need from treadmills to free weights and a stretching/yoga room! You can't go wrong if you get a membership here! read more

Love this gym because I like to work out late at night, they have great prices, and equipment. Place is a bit small, but that can't be helped. They seem to get new equipment every so often which is pretty exciting! Staff is also friendly read more

Bought a membership when things started opening back up during COVID and I must say I'm impressed. The owner, Stephan, provides excellent customer service and you can tell he cares about the people that come to his gym. The gym is always clean and everyone cleans the equipment after use (the owner always maintains a healthy supply of disinfectant wipes). The gym is on the smaller side, but has everything you need. If you ever have any problems, Stephan is only an email away and is timely with his responses. Would definitely recommend. read more

I'd like to recommend my personal trainer Iuliia. She is amazing! She taught me how to exercise correctly and not hurt myself. She identified my weak spots and then helped me to focus on those areas. After several sessions with her I felt stronger and my energy levels increased more than ever. Now I like fitness and I highly recommend everyone new to the gym to begin their training with this talented personal trainer, she is so knowledgeable! read more

Love Anytime Fittness!!! Brand new gym with out all the crowds of the new year hustle. Convienent location, easy parking, always clean, nice modern conveniences, and friendly helpful staff. read more

The people I've interacted with have been friendly. The gym itself is run-of-the-mill. It works well enough and I've enjoyed the flexibility of Anytime Fitness' hours over the years. However, I'm really disappointed at their Covid response, and being charged money for zero service during part of the lockdown. I get it. They're trying to survive, and they want to enforce some "donations" using their ironclad contract that you sign to fight what I imagine are catastrophic losses. But this has also been a hard time for me, and a lot of other people. I tried cancelling my membership months ago, but there was no one answering the phone, and the location was closed. Fast-forward: months later they've reopened, and have charged me the "enhancement-fee" to purchase new equipment retro-actively in July-- at a time when the facility was still closed. Plus the $55 membership fee the very month that the lockdown was lifted, as if anyone in their right mind will be rolling up to a gym first thing after the state lockdown order in California expires. It's unethical. It's also unkind to customers to make yourself inaccessible to cancellations until you've already made the charge to the credit card. Then, make it impossible to cancel by holding you, the customer, hostage until you pay what amounts to a ransom fee. Well, I paid the fee. But I won't be signing up again with any Anytime Fitness locations again. Plenty of other gyms that don't creative ways to rip off their loyal clients. Enjoy your treadmill run; they worked last time I visited. read more

One of the best AF locations I've been to- very big, not cramped, clean and well managed. One squat rack and one smith machine but wasn't crowded at all. Also has a small studio with TRX and a good selection of weights/machines! read more
