City doesn't at all, In Shape does, Planet does if you have a Black Level membership). 4) they actually use the annual membership fee to make improvements to the club (City just pockets it to their bottom line. city hasn't bought any new equipment since they opened in 2020). 5) they have a turf area that anyone can use with plenty of an wheels, foam rollers and an adequate number of mats and kettle balls. Factors that stop me from giving them 5 stars... it's VERY busy during rush hour (Monday-Thursday). Weekends are reasonable. There's too many folks filming and trying to be fitness influencers. The Zumba class music is too loud and with the door open (just like City Sports), but to be fair, the manager has tried to fix this. If cardio equipment is important to you, City Sports & Planet have a lot more.

He is patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging, and he has helped me feel much more comfortable using the equipment safely and confidently. With his support, I've lost over 30 lbs. over the past 6 months of training, which has been incredibly motivating. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that the gym is a bit small for the number of members and can get crowded at times. I try to go during quieter hours, but overall, I've had a positive experience.

I signed a waiver, which felt weird for something like that. Now I know why. Their shoddy equipment was set up in a low spot in the grass and was so unstable they had a staff member sit on it to keep it from tipping. There was also a bolt sticking out of the front. See attached photo for what a real vertical jump tester looks like (notice no bolt sticking out). When I jumped, I stepped forward slightly (not a run, there was barely room to move), and when I landed, that bolt sliced my pants and left an 8-inch cut up my thigh. I sat down at my booth, clearly injured. Two strangers came to check on me. Pike Fitness staff? Nothing. They saw me sit down, saw I was hurt, and completely ignored it. Later, I passed by their booth and mentioned I'd been cut. They acted like it was no big deal. Now they're responding saying I "ran and launched" myself and refused their help. Total lie. I stepped, I jumped, I got hurt, and they didn't care. They can try to blame me all they want, but their setup was dangerous and their staff was careless. A waiver doesn't excuse negligence. If this is how they operate in public, I wouldn't trust them inside a gym either. Avoid Pike Fitness.

Long story short, if…read moreyou go to the ER while you are here or shortly after, you have to immediately return with a copy of a doctor's note or email it. You need to do this asap and specify freezes on all services. If you have Kids Klub, END IT. I went to Vivian who was there the last time I had an ER visit a couple years ago: this past December, I was injured again suddenly on site during a training appointment (due to my body/health situation, not my trainer or an exercise injury) and I let her know I was getting a ride to the ER this time instead of an ambulance, since it was a was a touch less urgent. She was responsive this day and seemed to enter the freezes correctly. I dropped off the first note 2 days later to support a freeze for a couple months since a major surgery would get scheduled. I was told I had an 8" growth and cancer in my blood and had to wait the entire winter holidays for further info until doctors were back in the hospital. A few weeks later the billing began... I called Vivian and mentioned my bank was informed of my condition and knew to not pay the bills until a certain date. She laughed and said I'd be billed later anyways. I felt like "I have cancer again, I could die this time with this huge growth. She's laughing at me." I know it was not personal, but forgive me, I'll never forget the feeling of thinking I might die and getting this is the response while asking for help. My health is poor after surviving breast cancer treatments in 2020 and they wrecked parts of my body but eradicated an aggressive form of breast cancer. I don't want to go into how bad the type is, but the odds are very bad with that type and they use the highest doses of their most aggressive chemo to eradicate the cancer. That's why I struggle and have gone to the ER twice in a couple years. But working out improves my condition, so it's essential. I'm so glad I found out a few days later that the current ER test was a misdiagnosis. I eventually received a big surgery, recovered and called in to sort out the bills that were waiting for me. Because I was experienced in navigating the disorganized billing practices, it was a smaller bill this time. I reached a teleservice rep who had her manager Mark look into it and it was fixed after 3 phone calls for a full refund. I know it's not personal. But I've decided that clearly this is not customer service at all. This is just workers, protecting themselves and the company and you just have to advocate super quick, do the footwork and calls and take notes, document, stay on it, trust nothing, stay positive and confirm and be persistent. Most businesses exhibit hospitality and customer service at an average level. Often if a medical incident occurs you'll get a compassionate response and excellent customer care. Not here, you will get compassion at first and solutions that fall through. Then they will lose confidence and be strained but still attempt to help. Eventually, it requires an escalation and manager intervention to correct the situation. The in-gym customer service experience will be good about situational things like everyday interactions. But if your issue has ANYTHING to do with billing, there is no safety net no matter how serious your medical situation. Had I only had a normal membership instead of a training membership too, I probably could have just canceled or never been the wiser. I'm actually hopeful no one ever has to experience this zone that they are weak at. But if you do, stay flexible, positive, and stay on it. Good luck and good health! I saw billing fees,

The water temperature was perfect. Our 5yo son seems to have a natural inkling for water but he enjoyed the pool far more than the splash pad, which is also popular with young kids.

There's also a public beach that attracts a lot of locals, obviously the main draw here. Perhaps because it's located within a standard suburban residential neighborhood, the park doesn't feel quite as lush as the Contra Costa side, but you get a clearer view of the bridge since there are several grassy promontories with their own spur trails. The park melts into the Benicia State Recreation Area which offers its own rocky shoreline and eastward views toward Martinez.

The 6 weeks Challenge was something I thought I could do, but had my doubts...and after 6 weeks I am so proud to say I DID! Elev8 definitely gave me the tools, support and push that I needed to get back on track and not only did i make goal of 20 lbs, but I exceeded by 5 more. I lost a total of 25 lbs in 6 weeks and I feel GREAT. Kelly, Berto and all the staff are just wonderful... always supportive and willing to train. Even other members step in when needed. Definitely life changing and most definitely something I will be doing again. I highly recommend this to anyone that thinks its not possible! I was one of those people...and look at me now... 25 lbs lighter :-) THANK YOU ELEV8!!! read more

My husband and I have been attending Elev8 for two years now, and it's the best decision we have ever made. Berto and Kelly are excellent trainers. very dedicated and knowledgeable in the fitness field. Kelly is really nice and always makes me feel welcomed, Berto has helped me a lot with my nutrition and has taught me how to make my fitness journey easier. He always answers all my questions and pushes me to get out of my comfort zone. In addition to strength training they have Sudamix, a fast-paced cardio class, which is very fun with a live DJ as well! Elev8 is an energetic and safe place to get in shape. I highly recommend Elev8 and its trainers to anyone who is looking to start their fitness journey read more

I have to say Elev 8 has changed my outlook on making better choices towards a healthier life! I have tried different gyms and none have motivated me as much as this one. From day one I felt the amazing vibe all the beautiful people put out! Everyone is so friendly and seeing alot of transformations of the men/women totally inspire me. Berto the Ower/Trainer has enough energy to assist anyone that attends his class whether your new or have been there a while!! This gym honestly has the feel of home with the benefits a life DJ, support from other members and enough classes to meet my needs! read more

Elev8 is the most amazing gym I've ever been too. For the two years I've been there it was been such a great and fantastic experience. The coach there is super helpful when it comes to training. That gym has helped me reach my goal of losing weight, as well as helped me feel welcome, feeling that I can depend on them because they are my family! Definitely recommend going here! You will never regret it! It is so much fun, the vibe there is just amazing, the amount of fun everyone has is great, the music there is just amazing, the workouts are great too! It's my home away from home read more

I've been a member of several gyms, I started a 6 week challenge at elev8. With the challenge you get special classes and a nutrition plan. I successfully finished the challenge getting excellent result. I decided to do a second challenge which a bit tougher than the first one but with the help of Kelly and Berto i was able to loose a total of 44lbs. Elev8 is great gym, you will find a new family. Everyone greets you and talks to you, it's like a small community! I'm glad I found this place! Totally recommend it!!! read more

My experience at Elev8 has been excellent. Berto and Kelly have helped me a lot in this new phase. Every day, my strength level increases, and my diet has changed a lot with Berto's help and his nutritional knowledge. I really like the gym's energy and how inclusive they are. The place is clean and very well-organized, the atmosphere is very friendly, and we're all like a little family. I 100% recommend this gym if you want to make a positive change in your life and your body. read more

I really did try and like this place because my co worker lost weight but it just feels crowded and very fast paced. I wish their location was not so far away because it takes so long to get there. I guess if you don't mind the fast pace and circuit training in groups then this might work for you. read more

However, I did not join this facility. Class: The instructor was motivating and the cardio sculpt class really made me feel the burn. I came on a Wednesday night (the last class) it was fairly empty - I think everyone comes for the kickboxing since I came early to sign up (no one was at the front desk so I just awkwardly watched for 15 minutes). Some thoughts I had: It's not your average gym, there are weights and equipment in the back but I'm not sure if it's open to everyone of just those taking private lessons. The main area is a large open cardio floor great for group workouts which is what it is. Most people workout barefoot or with indoor/solely for the gym kind of shoes only. Not sure if I am a personal fan because it seems unclean/dangerous if a weight is dropped on the foot. As a transformation gym, I was interested in kickstarting my health and getting toned.- possibly even their bikini comp programs - I thoroughly checked the website and was interested in their nutrition program especially as well. I stayed after the class and had the opportunity to meet Mark. Nice guy but when I asked him about the programs and he just kept telling me to look on the website which didn't provide much information about their nutrition format or how the body tracking/goal setting works. I really wanted to love this place and was ready to sign up right then and there but didn't feel like I would get the support I was looking for just based on my first interaction. I signed up with Orange Theory instead.

I had scheduled appts for "new member orientation" and "design your own program" online for my first workout day. I received emails confirming my enrollment for these sessions, and even got reminder emails the day before my appts. When I arrived, I was helped by Jeremiah at the front desk. He very nicely informed me that the trainer that was supposed to lead my appts was no longer working there. There was nothing to be done to change that, but it would have been helpful if I had been informed ahead of time that the appts weren't going to happen, as I'd had to change plans around in my day to accommodate these scheduled appts at the gym. I hope the class schedule will be corrected to reflect when there is and isn't staff available.

Curious as I was I decided to check it out and sure enough the Planet Fitness is at the old 99 cent store location. Everything at this gym is brand new new. All the equipment are new, flooring and restrooms all brand new new. I spoke to the lady up front and she said they just opened up two weeks ago. On a Sunday it's not bad over here was not too crowded. They have pretty much everything they do at the Sonoma location but I feel like this location is just a bit smaller. The one thing I noticed that they have got the Springs Town location that they don't have on Sonoma is the the CryoLounge. This is a machine that can both freeze off one part of your body, while heat up another part which is great for targeting certain muscle pains. Trust me, this machine can get really cold! Overall it was a nice experience checking out this new location. Hopefully it will thin out the crowd at the Sonoma location a bit because that location be packed sometimes M-F especially after everyone gets off work.

I think its great they also hold occasional challenges (most fat loss/most weight loss) and have prizes such as free membership for a period of time, etc. I find it very hard to believe that this gym or any other would charge you for 4 months after the fact-- I canceled mine when I moved and did not experience such an issue. I did however buy the 10-pass class for when I do visit my family on the weekends and can get a cardio workout in. I say try it for yourself. There are all kinds/sorts of people here: thick, thin, young, older, beginners, novice, expert. You'll fit in no matter what shape you are in.

The owner (Tyler) appeared welcoming the first time we've met, but after an incident that occurred at his business he showed poor judgement and little to no concerns. The young fighter Bryson with the colored hair felt the need to pull a gun after suggesting that he wanted to spar with me and I said ok let's go. (Bryson Turnbow) @jbqt_ was collaborating with us for content creation. This was setup by my business-partner who often helps him as she's thoughtful as an amazing person. This collaboration required him holding pads while we record a few combos. Less than two minutes into holding pads while I punched lightly to see if we had chemistry, his attitude became sour towards me. Once I saw his body language I stopped and immediately had a conversation to let him know we aren't competitors and this is just some mittwork, he exited the ring and took a seat on the bench for another 2 minutes before I asked him if he wanted to try catching punches while I throw a little harder. He said yes, entered the ring again, and we started working. I was using approximately 50 % of my power and I thought he was doing well on the pads. Like most coaches and fighters, you'd see the trainer throw a slap as the fighter here and there with the pads while they work and Bryson did exactly that, which I was ok with as I'm experienced and defended. We got into a little play, he threw punches and i used a few feints and non-contact decoy jabs to throw him off. Soon after he mentioned getting his gloves to spar with me and I welcomed it. I even asked him if he wanted to get protective gears for safety. He said no, I said ok but let me change to a 18oz gloves as I was wearing a smaller 10 Oz gloves at that time. I honestly thought he wanted to spar to help settle his nerves. Maybe trying to land on me would've been a nice little challenge for him, unfortunately! He decided to get a GUN instead and this surprised me and my business-partner. His drama was uttered in nasty words, such as; Get the fuq outta his gym. This is his hood. I think I'm better than everyone else because I have FOLLOWERS and so much more. We did not escalate things and he refused to be calm to have a conversation. Our final decision was to leave the gym and take necessary action regarding the matter. I wouldn't recommend this gym as a safe place for children or anyone looking for a positive community. While i hope others wouldn't experience this, Reports to California boxing committee and USA Boxing is necessary.

They claim that they force you to be fit and there is no doubt about that. The reason for the 4 stars and not 5.....there can be some space issues when working out. We completed a 12 week program and were given the option to continue to use the facility since we had set workouts already. That worked great for a while but we found that once we were not on the schedule with a trainer it became harder and harder to find someone who was working with a client so we could use the gym and a lot of the time we would have to rush our way through a workout or cut it short because the trainers were leaving. They did however give us a number of workouts that we were able to take to another gym and continue on with.

I love this place, they have a two way approach of teaching where they offer both group and one on one classes (to refine techniques and work through any technical issues). The teachers are young, relatable and very attentive. Their teaching style is very kid friendly and if they see something that's not quite clicking they find other ways to explain it so that its more relatable and or make more sense to as why something is done a certain way (not just seeing the trees but the forest as well.) Also after every one on one class the teacher goes over your child's progress and what they see as their strengths as well as the things that can be worked on and improved. The staff is consistent (not a lot of change over) so it's make things much easier as far as getting into a routine for the kids as well as the parents. My kid has been there for a little of a year (started when they were 8 but now they're 9) and has had the same three instructors - Mr. Bilberry, Mr. Begonia and Ms. Ferdin (which is a plus in my book.) They are taught practical applications for real world situations. They are also big on conditioning and friendly competition to help with pushing them further. There's alway a nice group of kids attending the group classes which is one of the reasons why my kid loves going (we use this as part of their social time since they are being home schooled.) The dojo is always well kept and organized (it doesn't have that funky smell that you'd think a gym would have which means a lot when you're waiting during your child's practices.) There's also a great cafe (the Benicia Coffee Company) a few doors down if you prefer to wait off site in the area. The Coachs are really good and are very knowledgeable. Even though I had and idea of their skill levels I really found out after witnessing one of their open houses where the instructors did a demonstration of their fighting style Kenpo Karate! With this particular style they use a color belt system to mark accomplishment and skill level. What's really cool is if you're feeling left out and are in need of a workout they have a boxing gym as well that offers lessons that you can match to your kid's schedule! If you're looking for a martial arts spot I'd highly recommend this place and they even offer a few free lessons to give you a chance to see if it's the right fit for you and your child! It's a win win situation in my book! J
