Recently had an opportunity to train with Edward Panganiban at Bay Club and learned so much about weight training, which I had never learned before at the club. I would highly recommend Edward as a personal trainer. He is extremely friendly, very organized, and knowledgeable in his field. He tailored my fitness program based on my requirements and at the same time used his expertise to change what I was doing before. read more

The gym there is pretty decent. It has all of the essentials to build a solid physique. However, the best part about this gym are the workers and personal trainers there. JP in particular is a fantastic personal trainer and I can't recommend him enough. In just a few workouts with him, he helped me recover from a pec injury and was able to help me bench again. He is an extremely knowledgeable trainer and if you train with him you will 100% see results! read more

Loved the location. Hospitality & services are S tier. Outside pickle ball courts & pool. Pool may not have many lanes but people are courteous and cordial here. Weights & training up stairs w/a couple racketball courts. Recovery room w/hydro massage & Normatec offerings is elite for optimal performance. Cozy club w/comfy vibes & community classes. read more

This gym has become unacceptable. The air conditioning has been broken for over two months, and it still hasn't been repaired. With the number of people who use this facility every day, this is a serious health and safety concern, especially during the summer. In addition to the lack of air conditioning, the water fountains are frequently out of service, the bathrooms are unsanitary, and the overall cleanliness of the facility has noticeably declined. It feels like this location is simply a cash cow for Bay Club's corporate office. They continue to raise membership prices every year while neglecting maintenance, cleanliness, and customer service. This location sees far more traffic than many of their other clubs, yet it receives far less attention. If you're considering joining as a new member, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere. Until Bay Club invests in properly maintaining this facility and providing the level of service members are paying for, it's simply not worth the cost. Many of the members at this location are from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and it's deeply frustrating to see this club receive far less attention than locations like Pleasanton or Walnut Creek. Intentional as it seems the disparity in maintenance and investment is hard to ignore, and members at this location deserve the same safe, clean, and well-maintained facility as every other Bay Club member. I will also be contacting the Alameda County Department of Environmental Health to report these ongoing health and sanitation concerns. read more

Bay Club Fremont - Gyms Near Me - Fremont, California

(2 stars) I visited this gym twice because I was considering signing up for a membership. While the facility is very clean and well-maintained from a housekeeping perspective, I was disappointed by the condition of the equipment. Several machines were out of service during both of my visits. For a gym that charges premium membership fees, I would expect the equipment to be consistently available and properly maintained. The cleanliness and overall appearance of the facility are excellent, but people join a gym primarily to work out and use the equipment. When multiple machines are not functioning, it significantly impacts the member experience and makes it difficult to justify the high cost. I hope management prioritizes equipment repairs and maintenance, as the facility itself has great potential. read more

I bring my son here and I don't have a membership currently as I was a member for almost ten years and did not use the facilities to justify the payment for myself so I cancelled it. Today when I brought my son in, they said I can't sit on the tables to work as I am not a member. So basically I am sitting at the entrance, there is no charger plug for my computer and I can't use the bathroom. When I asked Gary in membership if an email had been sent to parents to inform them of this new rule, I was told no and that it is a new rule being enforced since 5/1. I drive across town to bring my son to the camp however where am I supposed to go while he is in camp. I am so angry at the price point that I am paying. This is just wrong and extremely bad business. I am very upset and angry. I would like a refund for the camp so I can take him out and not have to come in from next week. Shame on you! I can't respond to your reply so am responding here. My husband who has the primary membership sent you an email the same time I wrote this yelp review and guess what - you responded to this review but NOT to his email. Says a lot for your business practice. #shameful and #deceitful read more

Love Rachel's cycling class on Tuesday evenings! I have been going regularly with my partner for a few months and today some of our friends from pickleball joined us and we all had a great time. Love how she keeps the playlist updated with throwbacks. I always leave feeling super accomplished! read more

Beware of Bay Club. I was publicly humiliated by an aquatic class instructor after trying to use the pool during peak gym hours (4:00-6:00 PM on a weekday). There were two back-to-back classes taking place, and I was told I could not even sit on the pool steps to cool down unless I joined the class. My presence would not have interfered with the class in any way, yet the instructor chose to embarrass me in front of other members. If Bay Club is going to host pool classes during the busiest hours of the day, they should also consider the members who work traditional 9-to-5 jobs and pay hundreds of dollars each month to use the facility. The guest policy is also absurd. Guests cost $75 per day, and members are limited to only two guest passes per quarter. I was paying more than $400 per month for two memberships and still found the guest privileges extremely restrictive. The cancellation process was equally disappointing. I canceled my membership on June 30. Ryan Ashbaker, Senior Membership Director, acknowledged my cancellation request and assured me that my last day of membership would be July 31. I specifically expressed concern about being charged for the following month and was told the cancellation notice had been received. At no point was it explained that I would still be charged after submitting my cancellation. Yet that is exactly what happened. When I contacted Bay Club about the issue, Bradley Wilson from the Member Experience Team showed little empathy or willingness to help. The response felt dismissive and focused solely on policy rather than customer service. For the amount Bay Club charges, the overall experience simply does not justify the cost. Between the restrictive guest policy, poor cancellation practices, disappointing customer service, limited pool availability during peak hours, and aging facilities, I cannot recommend this club. In my opinion, it is not worth the money. read more

I spent four months training with Coach Ariel at Bay Club Fremont. It was the best training/coaching I have experienced and made a lasting impact on my fitness. I am in my late 40's and pretty fit. I completed a few half marathons and Olympic distance triathlons and was not fast but liked the training and doing the events. I went to Coach Ariel because I needed help with strength training and building muscles. Cardio was my thing but lifting weights was not, as I avoided doing it since I did not enjoy it. I realized strength training could improve my endurance training to get faster but more importantly, as we age, gaining muscle and maintaining it is essential, especially for those in the second half of their lives (age 50+) due to natural muscle loss in the aging process. I learned so much about how to lift, what to lift and for what reasons. Coach Ariel provided custom workouts and meal plans/nutrition suitable for what I needed, my schedule, fitness level and what I could achieve outside and inside the gym. I enjoyed our workouts even though they were tough. His mantra is #1 You're stronger than you think #2 Don't forget Rule #1. My time with Coach Ariel was a huge success and a lot of fun! The strength training helped me gain 10 pounds of upper and lower body muscle in four months. Coach Ariel supported me with good information and insight from his many years of coaching, giving me confidence and motivation to continue working out on my own. My cardio and strength fitness have improved, allowing me to run harder, recover faster and lift more. I enjoy strength training now and incorporate it in my workouts. Thank you so much Coach Ariel for all your help and mentorship! I'm sure I'll be seeing you around Bay Club Fremont! read more

This is a review for my personal trainer JR! JR is intellectual with some serious athletic accomplishments... He is super friendly, low key and knowledgeable! He was able to brake my hurdle with my pull-up issues with the word... Hyperbolic... he is hilarious! I learn something new every time i fist-bump JR! read more

This club is high on hospitality and membership experience, from the reception, parking assistance, coaching, towel support, lost and found management and customer satisfaction surveys. My fitness coach JP Rouhana is a perfect ambassadors of the club with his ability to listen to my needs, developing a fitness plan with care and empathy and flexibility, without pushing beyond my limits but always mindful to bring me to the next level. This club should be number one in California. read more

Highly convinced to join Bay Club, and so far the experience has been great! They have a lot of things to do, which is great. A place that doesn't make you hate going to the gym and makes you want to stay forever. The price I think is high but I think well worth it. This is specifically to highlight the heated yoga sculpt class I took with Shella! She offers her classes Tuesday and Fridays. Shella was honestly amazing. She made me feel comfortable and welcomed taking this class. Very encouraging throughout and showed demo on sets/reps for core! Definitely recommend taking a class with her again. Downside to the club, I wish the hours were open earlier and closed a little later just to have more time for things. Also, I'm wondering how they manage the bookings/waitlist for classes. I would hate to book a class, and it's full and they wouldn't even know because it's not managed. read more

This is a higher scale sports club . It has indoor tennis courts, ping pong tables, pickleballs court and outdoor swimming pools ( a big pool and a children pool ) . Like most sport clubs , the membership includes free dance classes, cycling classes and yoga sessions. We have been to this location to exercise over 15 years . Before it was called Club Sports under different management. The female changing room is huge with make up table to sit down and hair blow dryers . Lots of Lockers but someone do try to break them . So please don't put your valuables inside . The outdoor swimming pool has many lanes and are full size , which is a lot bigger than the other clubs with only 4 lanes . It is harder to keep the changing room clean and the showers gels filled , etc . Bay club is located In a continent locations and large parking lot . read more

This review is for my trainer JP --- I've been training with JP at Bay Club Fremont and it's been a great experience. He is super friendly and easy to communicate. He doesn't do cookie-cutter programs. Everything is tailored to your goals and fitness level, which makes a big difference. He also keeps things fresh by introducing new movements regularly, so workouts never feel boring and you're always making progress. I've definitely seen steady improvements and I'm in general surprised to see how much I've improved by following his programs. read more

I am so disappointed at the cycling bikes. they look good, perform good but the seat I so hard. me and other members tried to put a folded towel on the seat it didn't work. so for me no more cycling. read more

I love my personal trainer, Tiffany! She's thoughtful, caring, and attentive. I find myself looking forward to our training sessions every week and she constantly motivates me to push my body. We took a body scan on day 1, then again after 10 weeks. I was pleasantly surprised to see the results -- my body is more toned!! She really is a great asset to this gym and my favorite part about coming to Bay Club (other than the Hydromassages lol). read more

I would happily recommend Coach Ed to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive trainer. As a typical middle-aged woman facing all kinds of life challenges, I was looking for a practical way to improve my body composition and energy level. I decided to focus on weight training and wanted a coach who could guide me safely and effectively. When I first spoke with Coach Ed, he immediately understood my situation and goals and helped me start a program right away. What impressed me most is how professional and knowledgeable he is. During our sessions, he carefully worked around my injured lower back, stiff shoulders, weak wrists, and tennis elbow--basically all the issues that seem to show up in middle age. Each week Coach Ed introduced new movements and machines progressively, always explaining the purpose behind them. He also encouraged me to stay active during trips and holidays and was patient whenever I needed to reset. After three months, I broke several personal records and even improved my body composition during the holiday season--something that had never happened before. I feel stronger, more capable, and more in control again. Thank you Coach Ed! read more

Years ago, I had the privilege of working with coach Ed, a man whose professionalism and humanity left a lasting impression. He wasn't merely a trainer; he was a guide, deeply invested in the success and well-being of those he worked with. Working with him was a steady influence in my life, one of the key elements helping me move toward balance, discipline, and a stronger version of myself. Then life threw a curveball I never saw coming: brain cancer. Through the grueling cycles of chemotherapy, radiation, and the physical toll of steroids that pushed my weight to 200 pounds, I lost not only my strength but my sense of self. At times, I feared for the end of my life, slipping toward a place where survival felt uncertain. When recovery finally offered me a path forward, Ed was one of the first people I called. With patience, rigor, and compassion, he helped me rebuild--body and spirit. Under his guidance, I went from that 200‑pound shell of uncertainty to a strong, focused, 155‑pound version of myself who feels more capable and alive than ever. Exercise itself became an act of survival, each session a way to keep my body and mind fighting forward. His expertise, empathy, and steadiness made that fight possible and became a cornerstone of my recovery, and for that, my gratitude runs deep. read more

Chris Chu is an amazing personal trainer. He really knows his stuff and is a great motivator. Highly recommend signing up with him!

This is a review for my personal trainer Tiffany! I'm so glad Bay Club connected me with Tiffany! I've been a runner for years, but I was a total beginner when it came to strength training. Tiffany made the transition seamless. She is incredibly attentive and caring, taking the time to listen to my habits and tailor her recommendations to my specific goals. I really appreciate how she reads my progress--she knows exactly when to encourage me to push harder and challenge myself when she sees potential I didn't even know I had. On top of being a great coach, she's super communicative and flexible with scheduling, which is a huge plus. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress, go see Tiffany! read more

Training with Coach Ed has been an important part of my fitness and aesthetic journey over the last 6 months. Ed is attentive, analytical and thoughtful. He presents a positive and motivating vibe that I can easily gel with. I enjoyed training with him. He designed the appropriate level of challenge vs sustainability in each session. He provided detailed cues to fine-tune my form with subtle insights that made a valuable difference in activating my chest. I saw my strength go up sustainably while avoiding injuries. Today, I am feel more confident about independently progressing in my fitness journey given all the learnings I've received from Ed. I'd recommend Ed in a heartbeat as a coach who listens, programs with intention, and knows how to get the best out of you! read more

I wanted to improve my muscle mass, so in spring 2024 I joined a strength class for people 40+, led by Coach Ariel. Ariel structured the class such that each attendee could fully participate no matter their fitness level. The 45-minute class featured a warm-up followed by a mix of bodyweight, dumbell, and other strength exercises. Ariel patiently demonstrated each new exercises and guided each member on the best weight to use for each dumbell exercise. I started with very light weights because that is what I could handle. Under Ariel's coaching, I progressed to heavier weights, more repetitions, and more complex exercises. I loved the dynamics of the 40+ class. Ariel made class safe, fun, inspirational, and challenging. Ariel takes training seriously and constantly emphasized proper form to avoid injury. He also made a point to share inspirational stories as we huddled at the end of each class. As a class we shared many laughs and fueled one another to do more. Ariel always seemed to know when he should push me (or my classmates) to do one more repetition or lift a heavier weight, and when to advise the opposite. To supplement the 40+ strength training class, I began personal training sessions with Ariel about 1 year ago to receive more personalized guidance on building my lower body strength. Ariel has trained me to use several of the machines in the gym that I would never have used on my own. He is currently training me to properly use kettlebells, which I I find challenging and thoroughly fun. As a result of the strength class and personal training with Ariel, I have achieved my goal to build lower body and strength and I continue to maintain it. As a bonus, my upper body strength has also improved and I am able to do proper push-ups, something I have not been able to do for years. I am now confident using many of the gym machines and equipment, and I am comfortable working out independently. Ariel is an outstanding coach. I have learned so much from him and I would highly reccomend his classes and personal training to anyone wanting to improve their strength and fitness. read more

More recent improvements, giving them 5 stars now. New lockers and furniture. Just need new gym equipment.

Where do I start? Well let's talk about all the good things I think the fitness portion is pretty good meaning the training area. The trainers are pretty good specifically Genevieve , Jason, and Alejandro. All good people. There's a lot of room there to lift and they are very knowledgeable. The only thing is they should have specials on some sessions which they never have anymore. Now let's talk about all the things that are not good. And there are a lot of them. Besides the fitness team there is nobody at the club really knows what they're doing. They have no clue how to even use the equipment in the recovery room to help people recover, they're clueless. I even reached out to their GM Patty in an email and never heard back. They have a bunch of kids working at the front desk one time I saw five of them there literally doing nothing they're not trained and they're not educated at all. The club is literally wasting people's money hiring these people and not training them. They literally replaced general managers every 3 months. I know for a fact they don't pay their trainers enough they charge some ridiculous about per hour and only give the trainers like 30%. That's really messed up. They got rid of the hot tub in the locker room dumb move. They spent a lot of money remodeling the blockers when they need to remodel everything else. The club basically is and afterthought compared to the other Bay club locations. The toilets are definitely very dirty. For some reason people are not respectful and do not flush and the attendance don't either I guess. The prices are ridiculous. I have no clue why somebody would pay for something like this. I wish I hadn't paid for it but I'm doing this for my son because he wants to play volleyball. But I will not renew. The amenities and the club are basically like a 24 hour fitness. read more

I've been training with Tiffany for about four months now, and I've seen a huge improvement in my overall health, energy, and appearance. She's incredibly skilled at curating workouts tailored to my specific fitness goals, and she always finds the perfect balance of challenge and encouragement. The facility itself is great too; never overly packed, which makes it easy to get my workouts in both during and outside of my personal training sessions. Highly recommend training with Tiffany if you're looking for real results and a supportive environment! read more

I just joined in May and my rate has increased. The annual increase, which means if you join in Nothe rate in January will increase. I went from $227 to 242. the Notice fir the increase did not come through my email until 12/8/2025 st 3:12pm, they require 30 days notice to cancel which I gave them on the 14 after all this back and forth and are insisting I pay the full month 45 days basically. By law they are required to give a 30 days notice if a increase which the did not. It takes 45 minutes just to park in the parking lot!! You will get a rate increase every year!! I have never belonged to a gym that they raised the rate after 6 month. It's not worth it. Especially for this location. There's nothing special about this place at all. read more

I have been training with coach Ariel for a few months now. And I have absolutely loved it. Thank you Ariel He is a very nice guy. Knows how much to push you Is willing to teach you the foundations And really cares for you. I would recommend coach Ariel! read more

After 3 beautiful years it's finally time to say goodbye. This gym was a second home and I started since my daughter was 13 weeks old. It's unfortunate that they keep raising their fees which is the reason for us leaving . Child care used to b $40 a month 3 hours daily now it's $80 for 2 Hours and many other rules put into place. It's a bit outdated as well . Nice gym but very expensive. At the end I was paying $390 a month for me and my 2 babies . I would've stayed but it's just unaffordable for families read more

My son has autism, and I have been searching for a gym that meets his needs for many years. Finally, I found this place, and my son really enjoys it. All the staff here are polite.

She is patient, passionate, and dedicated to helping those with special needs. Under her professional guidance, my son has made great progress. read more

Coach Terry is incredible! After my son training with him for 2 years, Sulayman's basketball skills have improved tremendously. He's hands-down the best trainer at Bay Club not just for his coaching expertise, but for the way he instills discipline, mental strength, and a winning mindset. He truly goes above and beyond to develop both the athlete and the person. Highly recommend! read more

Rust, Not Sanitary, Unhygienic, Stains, Needs Daily PROFESSIONAL CLEANING! I recently visited Bayclub Fremont Why Can't Management Fix the issues and place a sign of their improvement plans and update their members? Bay Club needs to hire a professional cleaning crew to ensure hygiene, and cleaning standards are maintained. Deep cleaning and sanitization schedule needs to occur daily. Maintaining gym sanitization and locker room cleanliness should be important to Bay Club Management and Staff. Germs, Fungal, bacterial, and viral infections can often be acquired from dirty showers, floors, sauna, steam room, and pools. As these organisms thrive in moist environments, infections can easily spread from person's skin to the surface, and then onto others. Bay Club should make sanitization, cleaning standards, and overall maintenance a high priority. Does Bayclub Management have plan to hire professional cleaning crew? 1. Cracked Glass in locker room 2. Dirty air vent in locker room 3. Rust and broken items in locker room 4. Elkay Water Filter Status light not working 5. Hand sanitizer should be refilled 6. Dirty lockers with many stains 7. Towels need to be thoroughly cleaned and bleached. Old filthy towels need to be replaced. Majority of towels are turning light gray. 8. Sharp tile pieces in Sauna floor. Dirty wood planks in sauna and dirty floors. 9. Outdoor Jacuzzi Hot Tub water needs to be cleaned. It requires grout cleaning, and thorough cleaning of the hot tub surface. 10. Steam room is dirty and requires grout cleaning, and tile cleaning. Seating square tile is also missing and needs to be installed. 11. Rust on all mirrors and Towel hooks, lockers, and certain doors in men's locker room. 12. Thick layer of dust and stains on treadmills and other gym machines. read more

Coach Terry is easily one of the best basketball trainers in the Bay Area. Training with him at Bay Club has been a huge blessing for my game and journey. He's not just some regular coach he played D1 basketball for San Jose State as a Spartan, so he knows what it takes to play at a high level. Additionally, his experience training with NBA players provides him with valuable insights into how elite athletes train and prepare. Every session with Coach Terry was purposeful. Whether it was shooting, ball handling, footwork, defense, or conditioning, he broke down the little details that make a difference. But beyond the skills, what changed me the most was my mindset. He taught me how to approach the game like a pro with focus, discipline, and confidence. And how I should focus on one thing every time I step on the court whether it is pick up or a formal game. Coach Terry genuinely cares about his players and pushes them to reach their full potential. He helped me believe in myself and work harder than I ever thought I could. If you're serious about basketball and want a coach who has real experience and will help you grow on and off the court, Coach Terry is the one to go to. read more

During my visit to the Bay Club as a guest, it was spacious. There was many type of things to do there. I participated in one of the stretch classes and it was well needed. It was fun playing pickleball for the first time and it was inspiring to play more in the future. Overall, It was a good experience and the pickleball team is great here. read more

I started working with Coach Ariel in a group class setting, and over the course of 6-9 months, he completely transformed the way I approach fitness. Through a mix of circuit training and strength-focused workouts, he gradually made my body comfortable with weights, while also improving my speed and endurance with minimal rest periods. When I transitioned to 1:1 sessions, Ariel took things to the next level. He introduced me to a personalized strength training plan that included weighted squats, trap bar deadlifts, bench presses, and more. What really stood out was how clearly he explained the fundamentals--how to properly load weights, how to breathe, and how to execute every lift safely and effectively. Beyond the workouts, Ariel gave me invaluable guidance on nutrition and meal planning. His approach to diet has become an anchor in my daily life--simple, sustainable, and impactful. And perhaps most importantly, Ariel shares stories and insights that leave a lasting impression and motivate you from within. If you're looking to reshape your body and develop a balanced, long-term healthy lifestyle, I couldn't recommend Coach Ariel more highly. -- Rajiv S. read more

I have been a member there for over 11 years and would not consider any other gym clubs even though I could pay a lot less.

I just love this club! I've been coming here for a year and a half now. While it took me some time to get consistent it is now like my second home. If you're thinking of checking it out you should definitely stop by just be sure to call or check in online first! * Greg got me started on my membership he has always been super helpful and responsive whenever I have questions about various things. He is awesome and can help you too! * The Kids World is a lifesaver for me. I am a mom of 4 kids 10 and under plus I work so I wouldn't be able to do what I do without that service. I am always looking for ways to carve out pieces of time for self care! * Housekeeping staff is always busy cleaning in the locker rooms and are so friendly. My favorites are Erica and Mirabelle! * Personal training staff are hardworking, friendly, and always around. Alejandro is always connecting with members and staff along with making sure things are in place. The second floor is my favorite! I go at off peak hours to avoid crowds and it's perfect for me. * I don't take a lot of group classes but they always seem hip and happening. I've heard so many great things about the instructors. I would totally jump in if I didn't already have my own workouts planned. read more
