The manager is an amazing dude, he's always around to help and if you ever need anything, extremely great guy. The gym is amazing as-well a-lot to use for working out, although small it has all the necessary equipment for a gym. read more

Mark is extremely personable and kind, Had a tour appointment with him today. He offered to give me a guest pass to see how I like the gym. I just went ahead and signed up --which he made the process of signing up easy and quick. read more

If you're simply looking for a gym with the basic equipment you need for a workout, this isn't a bad option. However, the facility could definitely use some improvements. The location is in a shopping plaza, but the area can feel a bit sketchy at night. My biggest concern is the cleanliness of the gym. Overall, it often feels dirty and could benefit from more frequent cleaning. The studio area can get quite dusty, and it's unpleasant to use the mats when there is visible dust and dirt on the floor. The bathrooms are another issue. Unfortunately, they often remind me of a fast-food restaurant restroom. In my experience, they frequently smell unpleasant and don't appear to be cleaned regularly. Additionally, the paper towel dispensers and cleaning spray stations are often empty and not refilled promptly. This makes it difficult for members to wipe down equipment after use. Overall, the gym has the essentials, but it needs better maintenance and upkeep. I would enjoy coming here much more if the facility were cleaner and better maintained. read more

Beware making a contract with this club, and specifically them scamming you out of money. We had a bad experience with other gym members being unpleasant during our work out so we decided to cancel. The fine print of the contract states (in size 9 font): For installment members, If an early cancellation is requested during the term of this contract, the person must pay a $250 buyout fee, or the remainder of the contract (whichever is less). Our contract terms state that the terms of our arrangement are open-ended. This would mean we would only have to provide 30-day notice. But let's set that discrepancy aside, we would owe $130 in termination fees. The gym team however told us we owed the FULL $250 (and mentioned no other option for buyout). They are attempting to scam us out of $120 at least (and if we think about the discrepency in contract language $250 at most). The discrepency alone in the contract terms violates California's Health Studio Services Law. The scamming of money is also illegal. And just as a tidbit for anyone still considering this gym, they offer you a discount for the first month for rating them 5 stars when you join and writing some nice words about the gym. So their rating system is also fraudulent. read more

I've been to several Anytime Fitness locations throughout the Bay Area, and after recently moving to the San Leandro area for work, this has become my home gym simply because it's the closest location to me. The gym has the equipment I need to get my workouts done, which is the main reason I continue coming here. However, compared to other Anytime Fitness locations I've visited, this one could use more attention when it comes to cleanliness and maintenance. The paper towel dispensers are often empty on weekends, and the cleaning solution bottles frequently run low or are broken. One of the shower rooms regularly has standing water, and sometimes the water even makes its way into the hallway. The gym also gets quite crowded in the mornings. It's common to see people sitting on machines for extended periods, and group classes often take over the studio room, limiting space for other members. My biggest concern is during late-night visits. After midnight, the parking lot can feel a bit sketchy, with homeless individuals hanging around the area. I've also witnessed members letting additional people into the gym to use the showers, which doesn't seem appropriate for a members-only facility. Overall, the gym is functional and has the equipment I need, but I think the experience could be significantly improved with better cleaning, maintenance, and enforcement of gym policies. Since it's the closest Anytime Fitness location for me, I'll continue using it, but I'd love to see management put more effort into keeping the facility clean and well-maintained. read more

This facility is very dirty. It has been dirty for quite some time now. 90% of the time their cleaning solution is not available, tissues are gone. Don't get me started on the bathroom, those are filthy, smells of urine as soon as you walk in. Their mats are way over due dirty not healthy to use at all. I'm very disappointed as this is the closest anytime fitness to my area. ANYTIME FITNESS please fix this as soon as possible for the safety and health of your clients. Thank you. read more

It's nice to have found a gym close to my house and one that feels comfortable. The equipment is well kept and good quality however cleanliness is an issue I've noticed. On my most recent visit, the restrooms were very dirty, and there was no cleaning spray or paper towels to wipe down the equipment, or any staff available to ask for assistance. I will probably bring my own wipes going forward. The lack of doors on the "lockers" is also concerning being that people have personal items. I'm really hoping this improves.. read more

I joined when Matt was the sole owner, and most of the positive reviews are from that timeline. In the 2 1/2 years that he's been gone it's steadily gone downhill. I am not pointing fingers at Garrison who is the current manager, and is a pretty good guy, however, cleaning is not his priority. He is tasked with making X amount of phone calls a day for sales, that being a priority. The corporation that took over, and is only interested in saving money, and making money, refuses to hire even a part time cleaning person, and it shows. There's black mold in the showers, the windows have not been washed since Matt left, yoga, mats, and blankets are disgusting. There are days when there is no one there to refill paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc.. Many of the longer term members are paying significantly more than what the membership now is, which seems to be a name your price kind of game. Word is there are people that are paying merely to use the bathrooms for showers. Consequently there are times you cannot get into the bathrooms, which never used to be a problem. The showers also leak quite a bit, and there is often standing water in the bathroom leaking out into the hallway somebody's going to break their neck when they slip and fall. read more

Very easy to sign up, large and comfortable space inside with plenty of machines and weights. Staff are welcoming and the rates are reasonable. read more

Amazing experience enrolling with Garrison ! Found my new gym !!! Can't wait to keep coming. read more

Sadly, I have to echo the more recent reviews about the downturn of this gym since Matt left and it's come under new management. What was once a squeaky clean gym now feels like a rundown shell of itself. I started noticing that the wet towelettes weren't getting restocked with regularity like they used to, and were then sometimes replaced with spray bottles and rolls of paper towels instead. Then some maniac ripped the fob reader off of the wall outside, and instead of getting it properly fixed, management just duck taped it back together. Classy. Then, for reasons I still can't explain, they took all of the doors off of the lockers, turning them into cubbies for kindergarteners. An odd choice for a club that has a problem with members occasionally letting in the homeless and vagrants off the street. I stopped using the cubbies entirely once the doors came off and just keep my bag with me while I'm working out. The vibe in here has become incredibly obnoxious, too. It used to be a pretty peaceful place to work out, but now it's become a hangout for friends of management, many of whom are loudmouths who think everyone else wants to be part of their social hour. Management also does nothing to crack down on members who ignore the "no one wants to listen to your phone calls, take it outside" signs or who don't bother to bring headphones with them. Strongly considering just canceling my membership at this point. I don't enjoy coming here and only do because it's a very short walk from my house. Really wish Matt hadn't given up the reins here. read more

I've never left a bad review before, but this experience absolutely deserves one. The first red flag happened at signup. I was told a $1 charge would be placed to confirm my payment method, but instead I was charged $21. When I questioned it, I was told "oops" and offered a free month rather than a refund. That alone was unprofessional and misleading. The facility itself is poorly maintained. Bathrooms are frequently out of order with water spilled across the floor, and basic upkeep is clearly lacking. The previous owner, Matt, kept things running properly, but the new management has let standards slip significantly. When my one-year contract ended, I received an email stating that I could cancel my membership by clicking a link, which I did. I followed up multiple times by email and phone and received no response. Only after blocking the payment method did someone finally reach out. At that point, I was told I was required to give ABC Fitness a separate 30-day notice. If that is the policy, then offering a cancellation option in the email is misleading at best. Because of their lack of transparency and communication, I was charged for two additional months. Emails went unanswered until I mentioned involving an attorney. Overall, this gym is disorganized, poorly managed, and frustrating to deal with. I would strongly caution anyone considering signing up. read more

Man.. where to start? One thing I liked about this gym was the cleanliness, despite the higher price point compared to other big box gyms. I greatly appreciated the previous owner who would often be seen personally cleaning the gym, on top of having a cleaning crew at least once a day. At the height of COVID, Matt installed plexiglass in between treadmills to avoid contact with other patrons. Did it help? Maybe. Maybe not. It gave me a sense of safety, though. By Matt setting an example, members used to clean up after themselves. Not so much anymore. There used to be wet wipes at the ready. I once went and there was not even a paper towel at a dispenser. The lack of lockers was mitigated by having cubbies with locks. Since the new management, the doors were removed for reasons unknown. There used to be a no overnight storage policy. I came in to work out at 5 am to find the cubbies being used as a storage. And there were only 3 of us at that time! Every time I come in, I question whether the amount that I was paying was worth it. And I came to a conclusion that it was not. I enjoyed going to Anytime Fitness because while the gym was small, it was clean and felt like a premium gym. Now, it feels like a place where high school kids hang out. I've sent my membership cancellation notice. I got a reply that I would have to give a 30 day notice, so my membership is still active until January. So I will still have to pay for another month. No matter. I don't plant on dropping by. Sad to see a once amazing place fall from grace. read more

Amazing positive energy gym. Garrison, the manager, is the backbone of the environment and separates this gym from any other chain gym.

Helpful and friendly staff. Cleanly kept gym and chill vibe. Chill staff and members were friendly as well

Garrison did a great job signing me up, super insightful and great customer service. Very easy to ask for any advice in the gym and a very supportive and welcoming environment. read more

IT GOT EVEN WORSE!!! I wish I can give this a negative 5 stars I called my bank to stop payments to Anytime Fitness because they would not let me cancel. After they saw that my biweekly payments did not go through, they started sending me emails threatening that they will start charging me late fees if I don't provide them with a new form of payment. This company sucks and I regret choosing them. read more

Visited this AF for the first time 1/3/25 around 7:00 PM. The treadmills face the entrance door where I counted 6 members allow others (friends/husbands/wives) to follow them inside. The place is small and this made it more crowded than what it should have been. As a paying member who has regard for others and who follows rules, management need to do something about this as it's clear it is a problem. Most of us choose AF for the flexibility of having a less crowded gym by working out at odd hours. Since staff are not in at odd hours, you get people who will crowd the gym just because they can get in for free with a paying member. Other cons | There are no doors on most of the lockers so I kept my items with me which is inconvenient but I am not sure I would want to leave my stuff out anyhow as many did not check in | the lighting needs to be upgraded as it was darker than what it should be | the place needs a deep cleaning | The good - although a small space, the equipment is placed well and was in decent shape as most AF's. Dumbbells go above 80 lb which is rare for AF's | The bathroom I visited was clean and the water dispenser was clean | they give mints out near the entrance door | Probably wont go there when visiting this area Anytime Soon. read more

I was looking for a gym that I could utilize that was open in the early am's and came across this gym. I submitted a request for a tour and received a call that same day , and was able to tour that same evening as well. I met with the new GM Garrison, he was great ! very pleasant and assisted me with opening up a membership right away ! , it was quick and convenient. The gym is very clean , and at the times that I go its not crowded so I am able to get in and get out . read more

I've been to many gyms in my life & hands down this has been my favorite gym. The management is so welcoming & accommodating, I feel like I can come to them with any concern I have. Garrison is the manager & he's so nice & helpful. I highly highly recommend this gym & have done for many of my friends. read more

Never had someone greet me like that at the gym. Harrison was super kind, warm, and open. I felt very welcomed and safe here. This was my first time at this gym and I'll definitely be back. Loved the energy and cleanliness of this space. read more

Sheesh, I can't say enough about this gym. First and Last off, Garrison, is just the freakin' best. He greets everybody with a genuine welcome, no matter the age, size, race, ethnicity. He is always smiling and looking to be of assistance. Me and my gf both attend the gym and we always leave in awe of him and make sure to have a debrief of his work ethic. The way he takes pride in the gym, makes sure it's always clean, plays great music, makes sure the machines aren't broken for long is really admirable. We asked him if he owned the gym because he took such good care of it. He doesn't, but damn he should. Go Garrison. You've made us a fan of San Leandro's Anytime Fitness! Cuz trust me, we've seen some horrible ones. read more

Although this gym is small, it has all the equipment you need for a good workout. As someone that is always on the go, I love the convenience of being able to squeeze in a 30min-1hr work out that is so close to home. I also love being able to go at random hours of the day without having to check in with staff. Equipment is a bit older compared to other Anytime Fitness locations I have been to throughout the bay area, but they're all still functional. All the cardio equipment in the front are sectioned off with clear hard plastic which is nice. You are required to wear a mask throughout your work out, and supposed to clean gym equipment after using it. This gym is overall fairly clean and I see cleaners coming in during my work out. The restrooms are nice as well. I have a few complaints, but it's nothing too drastic since this isn't really my main gym. There are a lot of folks that don't clean equipment after using it (esp cardio equipment). The most annoying one for me is no towel service, since most gyms I go to have that. Lastly, some guys grunt so loud and slam their weights, so it startles me and ruins my mood to workout. Sucks to blast my headphones when those people are around. Some pros: The owner is kind, empathetic, and accommodating. Responds to emails really quick too! The staff are super friendly as well The gym is fairly clean and well kept Lots of parking early in the morning Located in a plaza, so it's super convenient to go to Safeway, CVS, or the post office There is security in the plaza throughout the day, however still recommend locking your car doors and stay vigilant with the transients roaming around in the area. Overall, I recommend this gym :) read more

Ever since the old owner, Matt, left managing this place - the new management team has run this place down to the dirt. They constantly are finding ways to cut costs at the cost of their members which is really disappointing. I've tried coming on numerous occasions to give them another shot but every time was a huge let down. Restrooms and gym area is rarely cleaned anymore and management neglect maintenance to save $. Ridiculous. For the cost being paid to come here, it is not worth it at all. Find another gym who values you as a customer and wants you to feel good when you arrive. read more

I have tried many gyms and none compare to this location --- From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the friendly staff who made me feel right at home. Thomas and Garrison do an exceptional job and are very passionate about helping individuals reach their full potential and fitness goals. Thomas is the nicest and most supportive manager I have ever met. He is eager to help and promptly resolves any concerns or issues you may have. The atmosphere here is welcoming, motivating, and full of positive energy-- Garrison is highly knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely cares about your progress. They are highly supportive of your fitness journey and can guide you if you have any questions. The staff does a great job of keeping the gym clean and tidy. The paper towels and sanitizing spray are always stocked and garbage is always emptied. The equipment is up to date and if there are any issues with the machines, the staff is there to promptly assist. This gym provides not just equipment, but also the guidance and encouragement needed to keep your fitness journey going. read more

This gym is really nice. Super convenient for me I originally joined this gym because I like to work out at night and this is the only gym in the area I could find that was open 24 hours and made me feel safe. Management always has your back whenever you have any questions or need help with anything. This gym can get busy sometimes but this is a great community space and everyone is usually willing to share equipment during busy hours. Also I love how there app tells you if it's busy or not so you can always prepare before coming in. Love going to a gym where everyone is friendly it takes away a lot of anxiety from a workout. Also, I love that there's so many different food options around that are healthy. read more

I really did like being a member of this gym when Matt was around. Recently had an issue with my membership. I spoke to the new owner Thomas and staff member Garrison, a couple of times over the course of almost 2 weeks now to get it fixed. I was even willing to pay enrollment fees again if that's what needed to be done. Thomas said he would call me the next to follow up with me. Here I am a week later and no word from him. I've tried contacting him again and still I keep being ignored. Not sure what next steps to take to get everything situated. read more

Thomas and Garrison are incredibly helpful!! I'm so glad I joined a couple of months ago, They have personal training and help with the equipment whenever anyone needs them. It's a very welcoming environment and they keep it clean. I really love it here!! read more

Under new ownership. It went from super friendly and responsive local ownership to being managed by some gym membership/processing conglomerate with 5-7 business day email response time. Emailing the local San Leandro Anytime fitness address directly is occasionally answered and directed to the membership processing conglomerate, and sometimes straight up ignored. Now, to cancel (even when paying twice as much for a month to month membership) one has to physically MAIL A NOTICE 30 days in advance. (So no matter what you're on the hook for an extra month at $99/month, basically.) Huge bummer. It's still clean and maintained (for now?) but I'd suggest only joining if you're never going to want to talk to anyone about anything or need any assistance, or have any expectations that it still feels like a locally-owned spot. read more

Gym was busy, but not overly crowded and both it and the restroom were clean. Two of the three restrooms available had showers, the shower I used was clean and the water was able to get really hot. They have body wash available but you'd have to bring hair product if you want that. The staff member I interacted with was very polite and friendly. read more

Let me start by saying that I used to say "I don't believe in gyms." I hate any kind of monthly fee I don't absolutely HAVE to pay for. But after wasting over 6 months trying to get in shape "on my own," I came to Anytime Fitness looking for a personal trainer to help me before my wedding. Jennifer Reeves 100% saved my wedding day. I started working with her twice a week right after Thanksgiving 2018 up until the week of my wedding, April 27, 2019. When I started, I could barely do a push up. Everything felt like I must be dying. Jenn made me strong. Jenn made me hit my goal of fitting into my mom's wedding dress, which was a nearly impossible feat considering I was about 60lbs heavier than my mom was when she wore it. Most importantly, Jenn made me comfortable in my own skin again. The gym is now something I feel I HAVE to pay for, because I see that it really does work. I personally needed someone to show me how to make the most use of my time there, but I love that there are so many options. I get bored and demotivated easily, so it's important that I actually have enough equipment to distract me. I rarely have issues with machines or weights not being available, and if I do it's because of something like New Years Resolutions. Matt is also so nice and friendly! He ALWAYS remembers your name and is constantly making sure the gym is spotless. It really is the perfect spot to go either before or after work because it's so close to Bart. I've attached some before and after photos of me with the caveat that the before photos were taken a year before working with Jenn. I'd gotten so overweight that I refused to have any full body photos taken of me. I lost 5lbs but dropped 3 pants sizes. Jenn took measurements every month and by April, I'd lost 4in in my hips and bust, as well as a few inches in my arms and thighs. read more

This review is way overdue (since I joined in Aug. 2017). Anytime Fitness is a wonderful, safe, 24/7, local gym (a short walking distance from home & Bart). Matt, the awesome owner, provides excellent customer service, responds quickly to emails & keeps his gym super clean. (This is seriously the most immaculate & consistently well-maintained gym I've ever been a member of since 1994!) Plus, they have 3 rest rooms & 2 showers! Although I'm not exactly consistent with my work outs, I always feel better when I make myself go. It never gets too crowded, has sufficient cardio machines & a variety of strength training equipment. Plus, Matt will welcome you back (with no judgment), takes the time to have a genuine conversation & has suggested meeting with one of the trainers for support & guidance. I think I'm ready to make that happen this month! And attend some of their 7 weekly group exercise classes (Yoga, HIIT, Abs/Core, Abs/Glutes, Dance Fitness, Step Aerobics, Battle Rope Kettleball/TRX Workshop, and a few others). So, cheers to AF & getting healthy (with appreciation) !! read more

I used to bounce around to a lot of different gyms -- I always sought out a different experience and looking for the biggest variety of equipment I could find. About a year ago I came to AF San Leandro and day passed a few times, I liked the gym and cleanliness of it. Even though it was only 5 minutes from my house I still didn't have a "home gym". Well about 8 months ago I stopped bouncing around and got a membership here. The more I came here, the more I got to know the managers Thomas and Garrison. I believe they run a good business here and are ontop of it, you can always find both of them in the gym tending to it or offering help and insight, and always being extremely friendly and supportive. Both Thomas and Garrison offer training and mentorship for all different types of needs. The more I got to know the community they have built within this gym, the more it made me decide to make this that "home gym" I was seeking. I'm excited to see them continue to grow this gym and the community. To put into words what a good community, especially this one, can do for someone looking to grow themselves inside and outside a gym, is hard. The equipment is top notch, the bathrooms are always clean and kept up on. This is a top tier training gym weather you're a power lifter, a body builder, or just someone looking to stay in shape, or lose some weight. I look forward to getting to this gym more and more everyday. Thank you THOMAS AND GARRISON for taking this jump and for putting this gym together. We are all behind you. read more

Thank you, Thomas & Garrison for helping me set everything up. Everyone is super friendly and understanding here at Anytime Fitness :)

I used to really like this gym but it's gone majorly downhill over the last few months. Apparently this coincides with new management. The gym is not clean like it to used to be, with trash cans overflowing, broken paper towel dispensers, and broken spray bottles (this leads to people not cleaning the equipment after they use it.) I decided to write this review tonight after going to the gym and seeing a sign on the door saying it was closed. I understand if the key reader is vandalized that this isn't their fault, but AT LEAST send out a mass email (as was done in the past) so you don't waste people's time. read more
