If you go to the Crunch Gym in Alameda and then the Bladium -- you'll have a new appreciation for space and room to breathe. The remodeled men's locker room is cool -- most importantly -- it is clean and does not stink. I only use the facility for cardio and free weights. The machines and free weights are probably 30+ years old (seriously), but they work and I like the old school steel plates. The entire facility has been under construction and it looks like they're going to make the facility like something on par with the NFL Combine's fitness facilities. I learned during the pandemic that new weights and weight machines cost a fortune, but I'm hopeful they will update the equipment. Most importantly, I hope they extend the hours of operation on the weekends. Indeed, their hours of operation should be 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. (minimum) every day. Oh, there is always free/available parking and the gym manager is extremely responsive/professional. Bottom line: this gym has the space and location to become the best fitness facility on the East Bay -- but they must extend their hours and spend a small fortune on new weights/weight machines. The images I have included with this review are dated, but they give you a good idea of the size of this place and show the degree to which they are re-doing the place!

I grew up playing at The Bladium since I was 4 years old with lil kickers. I played with the Bay…read moreOaks and SJND for indoor footie and played with my AAU basketball team in this facility. So many memories, like winning a state championship and rock climbing with my friends. The Bladium was an experience: to drink, to play sports, to work out, to have fun. I recently came back after finishing college, just to find the main football field and a majority of the weight room gone to pickleball. At first, I did not mind, however, it feels like the only people who come in are pickleball players. Its sad to see my friend's old family business being made into a pickleball center. Even the new company's logo shows where their priority is at. Heartbreaking to see. I will always remember the sounds the floorboards made.

We have had great experiences with both coaches; Finn for my older child in the skills institute program & Nahla for my toddler in the bunnies program at Lil' Kickers. Both coaches were super friendly and great with the kids! The toddler session was perfect for their age group & super fun. My toddler had a blast and it was great to have him around other kids. My oldest had previous soccer experience on a different team last year and said this was the best practice he's ever experienced and felt like he was actually learning something vs when he played elsewhere. The only thing that threw me off was the customer service at the front desk when coming during the week. It was our first time here with my oldest and we wanted direction on where to go & we were given the most basic directions that still left us looking for our sons class, we ended up somewhere else and we're kindly redirected by one of the coaches. Customer service on the weekend is COMPLETLY different. When checking in for my toddlers trial the lady at the desk was SO friendly, smiling, and very very helpful, she actually explained where on the field we would be since the classes are divided into sections on the same field (which is why we were confused with my oldest but received no help there) I had basic questions that I ended up leaving with since I felt like I was bothering the other lady. Maybe she was having a bad day? Idk but a smile goes a long way when dealing with people. Overall experience was great and we ended up signing up both kids! Don't let the front desk be your deciding factor; you're able to check in from your phone and don't really have to deal with front desk unless you happen to have a question or want to make a purchase.

This was for the lil' kickers morning class. I wanted to share my disappointing experience with the…read morefront desk, coach, and overall program. We checked in at approximately 10:45am. Little to no direction was given other than letting us know where to go and who the coach would be for the session. When I signed up it told me Alex would be leading the class but the front desk let us know they were on vacation and Nala (apologies if I misspelled their name) was covering. Being the first class, I expected a short tour or more of an in depth conversation about what to expect. This did not happen. We sat at the small bleachers outside the indoor field as the first class was finishing up. Once that class was over we waited our turn. Coach Nala started to clean up and put everything away. At first I thought this was odd but figured maybe they have to use specific equipment for each class. She made eye contact with me several times, I smiled, but did not say anything. I took my daughter to the bathroom and noticed Nala and the girl at the front desk were talking. We then walked back to where we were seated, once again passing the desk. A few more minutes passed, so I went up to the front desk to ask when class would start. The front desk girl then tells me "oh yeah sorry it's canceled today". At no point did she or the coach think that it would be a good idea to come over and let us know. I asked her why I wasn't notified. She explained it must've been because I was on a free trial that we weren't alerted. I then asked why I received 1) a confirmation text and 2) email asking me to confirm and fill out forms. Both of which allowed me to do so, not giving an error message or notice regarding the cancellation. She said she wasn't sure but I shouldn't have been able to book the class in the first place. I calmly let her know that this was disappointing, that my daughter was really looking forward to it, and that this will affect my decision to sign her up here. She told me "she doesn't know what to do and that she could I guess sign us up for another day". Overall, this experience was very disappointing. I took time off of work to take her. For parents, our time is valuable and when I sign my child up for something, I hope that my time is respected as I respect the program and its staff. The staff were unprofessional and unhelpful. I won't be signing my daughter up (or my son, for that matter) and will also share with fellow parents our experience.

There are various soccer fields - and then the multipurpose field in the middle. Not very many people ever - so if you want privacy or your dog isn't good with socializing with other dogs this is the place for you. The field was so green.

There was a bar with views and dinner with live music - even as a little kid I could tell it was a special place. Today that building is abandoned the entrance (which was grand) as a 6 year old is all rusty and missing.

Coach McKinzie creates and maintains a disciplined and structured environment, that is always fun and challenging for the kids.

Our 9 yr old son has been attending Triple Threat for a little over a year now, and coach McKinzie and the Triple Threat program has definitely had a positive impact on our son. The Triple Threat Academy has not only improved our son's basketball skills and understanding of the game, but it has also helped improve his appreciation for earning positive results and improvements through hard work. We have recommended the program to other parents and will continue to do so.
