    I think it needs to be stated that this gym is the only gym I've ever been able to consistently go to. It has the best view of the stars if you're able to muster the energy to go right when they open. Every time I go in, I see the same familiar people at the reception, and they all make an effort to actually learn your name! I think that played a major part in keeping me going. It is honestly a bit pricy, but you're paying for a premium experience and the chance to make some of the best friends of your life. The people I talk to in this gym have given me life advice, gym advice, and are some of the most amazing people I've ever met(even if I forget their names sometimes- sorry!) The gym itself is a step above. I originally came for swimming, which is really great. As I've moved to gym, there's the standard gym room, and the EDGE where you can Olympic powerlift, hit the bags, and do some other pretty intense workouts. The classes look fun, and they've been trying to nudge me into taking some yoga, but I haven't done it juuuuust yet. Hope I'm coming here for years to come!

    This class description certainly raised my eyebrows. I attended, and the class really wasn't that bad.

    I can't say enough good things about ClubSport. Their facilities are excellent, there's a variety of training areas, swimming pools, a hot tub, hydromassage chairs, sauna, steam room, and a great selection of guided group exercise from kickboxing to pilates to spin. The group instructors I've tried are wonderful, especially Michelle in her expertise, Eva in her inspiration and Terri in her tranquility. The personal trainers are knowledgeable, dedicated, and seek to empower. I'm happy to see they have youth programs, usually led by Bronson, and they look like they have a lot of fun. And major respect for the Director of Fitness/PT Manager, Matt Truscott, with whom I've had the pleasure of gleaning a bit of strength and conditioning wisdom before I start physical therapy school. Matt cares about mentoring new trainers and passing on his knowledge to benefit others. Many compliments to the cleaning staff as well, as the gym is kept clean and well stocked in towels, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, and other amenities! They truly help make the whole experience feel like a Greek gymnasium and a Roman bathhouse rolled into one. They also have a cafe with ample seating. I often see people doing work there. Similar or slightly lower caliber gyms in the South Bay are around the 180-250/mo range, making ClubSport's all-inclusive membership at 135/mo a win. That all being said, I do have some reservations about others in the managerial suite. Brooke, the General Manager, is picky about which clients with whom to endear herself. I was not one of them, and early on, while I was considering membership (I was introduced to the Club through MORE Physical Therapy, which has a location in the same complex), she said I could not stay in the cafe, and I also know that she escalated this issue with MORE even after I left. It was my genuine misunderstanding, I thought the cafe was its own entity, like the clinic is. But I was surprised she did nothing to invite me to consider joining, which would have smoothed the edges and benefited the company. But I liked ClubSport enough to sign up despite her tactlessness. Brooke also seems to treat MORE like a nuisance -- why I say that is when she came to kick me out, she first asked in a condescending way if I was a MORE patient. She also gave my therapist, Gary, some trouble by wanting him to be responsible for kicking patients out immediately (based on what I heard from MORE staff, there is an agreement between ClubSport and MORE that patients are allowed to use the gym), and also spying and gossiping on Gary with other Club managers. If their values no longer align, then the two companies should revisit their contract, not harass workers and patients. Beside that, I witnessed her calling an older gentleman a "cheater" for taking a class with someone other than his usual instructor. His daughter voiced her displeasure that Brooke was so mean to a loyal member, and Brooke just laughed. Brooke even called over the other instructor to substantiate her gossip, and to see her reaction. All parties were uncomfortable, including the ~30 members who were waiting to start the class. Not professional at all. Other managers include Daisy from the cafe, Megan for group ex, and Alexis, the assistant general manager. The Club is great, but I question how they use their time to speak in whispers with the younger female front desk workers. I just hope these more seasoned women are not setting a bad example for the upcoming generation. But I still approve of ClubSport as a whole. I'm grateful that I can improve my body condition here, as you can see in my new profile!

They make rules like "no tripods allowed", and then you watch staff walk by people using them and say nothing. The general vibe is also just worse than before. People slamming cabled weights just to make noise, thick smells of perfume/body spray, new soap dispensers / quality of hand soap is garbage.. There used to be no phone calls allowed on the gym floor. Now people are on a call throughout their whole workout with no consideration. Very unfortunate as this place use to feel top-notch.

I chose City Sports due to 24 completely going down hill since I used to be with them a decade ago, and Planet Fitness doesn't have a pool. As a swimmer, this is my main form of cardio. Nate was wonderful helping me sign up and answering all of my questions I had. He's excellent with his customer service and making the customer feel heard. With my signing up, I was given a free personal training assessment and trial. Kiran was knowledgeable and impressed with my strength. At the end of the session, I was sat down with Alan, who I am assuming is the personal trainer manager. As somebody who used to sell 30+ cars a month when I was in car sales, I know the first thing about sales is to listen to the customer. Repeatedly, I was cut off from saying anything to Alan about my background, what I wanted and what I needed if I wanted to consider personal training. I barely was able to think about an answer to a question he would ask. I also recognized the typical car sales tactic of, "Which price works best for you?" I still decided to hear him out and see if this aligned with me financially. The prices are quite high, so I apologized as I felt like I was wasting his time then and I understood what it was like being on his side of the desk. He stopped smiling at me and started shuffling the papers. No, "Thank you," "Let me know if anything changes," etc, nothing. Just complete silence and an obvious look of annoyed rejection. I was a bit confused so I said, "Um..." and he dismissed me with a cold, "You're free to go now." I asked if I could take the paper with me with the rates on it and he said I could take a picture of it. Classic car sales maneuver! But this is for personal training, which should be more insistent on the customers needs due to their health. My experience with Alan has ensured I definitely won't be signing up for a personal trainer in the future, probably at any location with City Sports. Overall, the gym is pretty clean and the machines are in working order. The pool is VERY clean as well, which is surprisingly hard to come by in most gyms nowadays. I don't get service inside though and even with the WiFi, I still can't connect to YouTube to do mat Pilates in the aerobics room :( TLDR; Nate is great, Alan needs some training on his customer service and learn how to be a better sales person. Gym is clean but needs help with cell service/WiFi.

I wish this place is 24/7 but they open at 6AM on the weekend and it's never packed to the point where you have to wait, so it's a win-win. Service is impeccable. I love their protein smoothie bar. I have tried their recovery zone and can say I had a relaxing time getting my back and legs massaged while I read my book. It was dim and quiet, but I was by myself.

My main issue with this facility is a specific group of members that have started to come in. There is a large group of people who come in to work with a husband/wife team of independent trainers. The trainers are rude and take up tons of equipment that they do not actively use- like they are trying to reserve it for their future use. When you ask them if you can work in or if they are using something they are rude and look at you like you are insane for even talking to them. This group of people act like they are the only people in the gym and completely lack awareness and any etiquette. They leave weights on machines, don't wipe anything down, and leave huge messes in the restrooms. My other issue is the amount of recording that they do- the gym has now banned the use of free standing tripods (great) but now they are using other pieces of equipment to prop their phones up on and record their workouts. On top of that- there is no regard or awareness for someone in the back of their video. I know that I have been in the back of their recordings, which I do not want to be, and have asked them multiple times to move their phones or not record and they are just rude about it and start talking crap. I have taken these issues to the front desk staff and management. No one does anything about it. I brought it up to the girl at the front desk this past weekend and she basically told me that because they are bringing in so much business they can do what they want. If that is the case then this business clearly does not value all of its members equally.
