Let me count the ways how much I miss and love Equinox…read more Yes, I know--it's a high-end gym. But you truly get what you pay for. I was a member of this location for over a decade, and since moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, I can honestly say there is nothing quite like it. The nearest one to me now is in Atlanta, and I still miss the San Mateo club regularly. This location has everything you could possibly want in a fitness facility--and then some. The Fitness Floor Downstairs is a beautifully air-conditioned workout space designed for people who are serious about exercising. No distractions, no crowds hovering by the windows--just a clean, focused environment. You'll find: * Full weight training equipment * Recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills * Dedicated spin, Pilates, TRX, and group fitness studios * A large open stretching area with foam rollers * Cold, filtered water stations throughout * Staff available for spotting if you're training solo It's efficient, professional, and thoughtfully designed. Locker Rooms & Amenities The locker rooms feel more like a boutique hotel than a gym. They are consistently spotless and fully stocked with: * Plush towel service * Spacious showers with teak benches * Steam rooms infused with eucalyptus * Complimentary razors, Q-tips, and personal care items * Premium Kiehl's products It's luxurious, yes--but also incredibly practical. You can comfortably get ready for work, dinner, or travel without feeling rushed. The Rooftop Pool One of the standout features is the heated rooftop pool. It has multiple lap lanes, cabanas, and water aerobics equipment, and it truly feels like a mini country club in the middle of downtown San Mateo. The pool is heated year-round, which means you can swim in any season--something you quickly get spoiled by. They even provide sunscreen from Supergoop!, along with full towel service. It's those little details that make the experience feel elevated. Classes, Spa & Services The class offerings are extensive and easy to manage through the app. Signing in is seamless--just scan your phone and go. Highlights include: * Yoga in a beautiful bamboo studio with HEPA filtration and ceiling fans * Pilates (available as private, duo, or small-group sessions) * A full-service spa on the upper level * A juice bar and retail shop featuring premium fitness apparel Everything feels intentional, polished, and well-maintained. Location & Convenience The club is located right in the heart of downtown San Mateo, making it incredibly walkable. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and cafés nearby, including one of my favorite bakeries and specialty markets. Parking is also surprisingly easy for a downtown location: * Two-hour validation * Surface lot, garage, and rooftop parking options That convenience makes a big difference in daily use. Value & Membership Yes, membership can be expensive. However, many employers offer corporate discounts, which can make the cost more manageable. In my case, the value absolutely justified the price because I used the facility regularly and took advantage of the amenities. Even when I relocated, canceling my membership was straightforward and professional--no pressure, no hassle. Bottom Line Equinox San Mateo set the standard for what a fitness club should be: clean, thoughtfully designed, service-oriented, and genuinely enjoyable to use. If I ever move to another city with an Equinox, I will join again without hesitation. Because at the end of the day-- life is short, and you should live well.

Amazing space. From the rooftop heated pool with cabanas, yoga studio and spa, to the impeccably…read moreclean locker rooms, and a wonderful group exercise studio and open gym floor. But what makes the place extra special is the superb group exercise instructors and professional staff.

It's the Y. It's not a fancy schmancey, hoity-toity, lala gym. It's a neighborhood gym for normal…read morepeople. Average Joe's if you will. And I love it. We left Crunch after 17 years (well, technically it was Gold's before but you get the point) because I had a female stalker and Crunch wouldn't help me (even with restraining orders). I was wildly unimpressed with their non-assistance. We went to Equinox bc it was supposed to be nicer and it was only a 1 mile walk from our house - fantastic. While it looked nicer, it was not nicer. It's old, outdated and limited. It's stupid expensive. And the hours really, really suck. So after a year, we left Equinox and we were wavering on going back to the Bay Club or joining the Y. Our kids really wanted to work out and the Y was a great option for a family plan. So we joined for them. While testing it out and thinking we might bounce out to the Bay Club, we ended up loving it. They recently upgraded all the equipment to smart equipment and I'm diggin it! I haven't seen these machines since I was at an upscale gym in Houston a couple years ago! I love the price ($185 for all 6 of us, plus it as daycare vs $230/mo at equinox per person and no kids are welcome) I love the normalness of the Y too. I may make great income, but I don't want to be with the stiffs. I want to be where my roots are.

As a Nationwide YMCA member, I've always been treated the same as local members at every other YMCA…read morebranch. Unfortunately, Peninsula YMCA would not allow me to use their towels because they said they don't have enough towels. I think that's a ridiculous reason, especially since towel service is one of the benefits that made me choose the YMCA. I hope Peninsula YMCA reconsiders this policy and treats Nationwide members equally.

I really want to like this gym more, because there are a lot of things they do well. The staff are…read moreconsistently friendly and welcoming, the crowd is respectful, and the location and hours are very convenient. However, I can't give more than two stars unless management seriously improves equipment maintenance. Several machines have had "Out of Service" stickers on them for at least six months, with no visible progress on repairs. In some cases there are only one or two of those machines in the entire gym, so when one is broken for months, it becomes very inconvenient for members who rely on that equipment. On top of that, some of the existing equipment is clearly aging (frayed cables, worn components, etc.). What makes this more frustrating is that the gym offers a premium membership tier that includes access to the hydro/water massage bed, but that has also been out of service for a long time. Even more concerning, the water fountain and bathroom have both been out of service multiple times. That's a basic facility issue. Members need access to drinking water and restrooms during workouts. Meanwhile, the gym sells bottled water at the counter, which feels especially frustrating when the fountain isn't working. On a few occasions they even had to bring in a porta-potty outside the gym, which says a lot about the state of the building facility. Again, I genuinely want to rate this gym higher because the staff and community are great. If management commits to properly repairing and maintaining the equipment and facilities, I would absolutely be happy to update this review and increase the rating.

This is a no frills gym....and also a no bathroom gym. Every other week the restrooms are out of…read moreservice, and I can't even wash my hands. It's been like this for months. I don't know what the health and safety code is for bathrooms in gyms, but I'm pretty sure they are violating it. The bathroom situation is just annoying. As far as the actual gym and equipment, they got all the basics for a decent workout. My biggest complaint is that once a machine is broken, they take months to repair them. There are workout benches that have not been fully operational for 6 months. It's ridiculous. At this point, just buy some new ones... but that's not going to happen. This gym is run by cheapos cutting corners, but I guess that's what I get for $40 a month. Also, as some other reviews have stated, the gym is pretty dusty. They should get a cleanup crew to come in every once in a while and give the gym a deep clean...but they are CHEAPOS!

Came here on a guest pass from my friend and on a holiday weekend it was comfortably busy…read more Definitely a great spot if you have kids cause the swimming pool and water slide are great. We went to the lifting section on the first floor and all the machines and weights are pretty modern and well kept. I also love how there's a recovery room that's included in your membership. The cryo chairs and compression boots are really nice. Their adjacent food stall, I think Local Kitchens is also pretty delicious! Can order on doordash for pick up ahead of it which is convenient. I was only there for about 1.5 hours so I didn't get to use all the amenities, but you could easily spend an entire day here. There are some areas where I thought maintenance/cleanliness could be better kept, especially for the steep price and the WiFi was frequently spotty, but otherwise, a really nice spot!

Been a member here for a few months now and this is a great spot overall. Amenities are top notch…read more Love the recovery room they have the most. Cryo chair, body massager, compression boots and more. Its much needed after a workout. Few things they can improve on : They just recently switched out the chairs in the business center. The current chairs are not meant to be here. They are too low and proper chairs should be put here for working. They have the good office chairs in the Touchdown rooms; they should have it everywhere. We pay too much to not be comfortable and at regular level height. Womens Restroom area- They should have a proper lounge area somewhere in the area even if its just a small seating area to relax in after a sauna session or pool. The SF location has a nice seating area with a TV and there is also a quiet room where you can lay down. This location should think about adding this in there. Much needed. The workout classes they have are great and pool jacuzzi area is great! They should do monthly food events or other type of freebee things for the members here. As much as the membership is here, more needs to be done for members. Itll be a nice touch for sure.
