I was in need of a gym and having a pool was one of the requirements so that limited the options in…read morethe area for me that wasn't a 20 minute+ drive way so I decided to check out Equinox first and ended up really liking the vibe. The classes feel like studio classes (like barre or spin, etc.) that you'd be paying almost $200/month for without any amenities or regular gym equipment. I've been to other gyms in the past that had a lot of hm, lets just call it people watching and social hour. Folks here are definitely here to workout, do their own thing and friendly. Definitely a no judgement zone. I also had some hesitations based on other reviews about not being able to freeze or cancel membership within the first year especially if you have an injury and what not but decided to go for it anyway despite that, more on that later. Some other other gyms didn't seem to be any better based on those reviews so it probably would've been similar issues elsewhere anyway. When you initial sign up, they give you some comp sessions with a trainer (to obviously sell you personal training) but it's something I wanted to try anyway. I thought, why not, let's give it a go for a few months since I thought it would be good to get an extra boost and back into a routine. Well, a few months had passed and then I had some travel plans so I was away from the gym but then came back from my travels with a severe knee injury where I could barely walk. It sucked but I showed up anyway. Not because I couldn't cancel my membership due to the contract terms but because I needed movement for rehab. I was initially hesitant about returning to training because I felt like I wouldn't be training at 100%. And let's be real, the training sessions aren't cheap. After some discussion with physical therapist for a rehab plan, I decided to return to training with Summer and it was honestly one of the best decisions I've made. Summer programed exercises for me to supplement my PT. She has been really awesome to work with, because my program needed a lot of re-working along the way to adapt to my rehab progress. She's also open to feedback and really great with listening to my input on things that I want to work on. While I am still ways away from being 100% recovered from my knee injury, I already feel like it's night and day compared to just a few months ago. So why only 4 stars? Well, only taking one off is quite generous despite some issues with their app, specifically for training and the so-so amenities in the locker room. The app isn't the best and there were some miscommunications with it that led to a lot of frustration but the training manager Matt was really nice and made it right. The other reason for taking off the star was the amenities which they finally changed to something that smells way better. The previous products didn't smell good and it seemed like the shampoo, body wash, and face cleanser seemed like it was all the same soap in the shower. Didn't feel like there is anything different between the stuff in the bottles. It wouldn't even upset me that there was just one multipurpose wash but the same soap in the different bottles is just confusing for me. Like what's the point? Anyway, good riddance with the old stuff. I haven't tried the new stuff yet aside from the lotion that smells heavenly. I haven't been to the other locations to compare but this one is sufficient for my needs.

Anyone leaving those kinds of comments must've truly woken up on the wrong side of the bed to be that cruel and unfair. Let me explain why East Bay Sports deserves a five-star review. I've been bringing my son here since he could walk he started in the Little Kickers program and now, at age nine, plays in the soccer team division. We absolutely love indoor soccer, and this facility makes it such a great experience for families. The kids always have a blast, the field is consistently clean and safe, and the entire place has such a welcoming atmosphere. The owner, Chris, deserves special recognition. He's incredibly calm, patient, and professional even when parents get heated during games, coming up to him in his office raising their voices, he never raises his voice or loses his composure. You can tell he genuinely cares about the families and players who come here. This is a family-run establishment and the only indoor soccer facility in the area, which makes it such a valuable part of our community. Beyond soccer, they also offer batting cages (which are a ton of fun!) and host birthday parties that kids love. Whether your child is a toddler just learning to kick a ball or an older kid who's ready for league play, there's a perfect spot for everyone. You don't need to be a pro you just need to want to play, learn, and have fun. With so many classes and programs to choose from, I highly recommend East Bay Sports for any family looking for a positive, active, and inclusive environment.

It was a brand-new club, and many…read moreof the girls were relatively new to volleyball, so the team definitely had a learning curve in the beginning. They struggled through their first few tournaments, but it was really rewarding to see how much they improved, gained confidence, and started to gel as a team as the season went on. Because this is a newer club, I think you can really make it what you want it to be. There is a lot of opportunity to grow and be part of building something from the ground up. The fees were also significantly lower than those of many other clubs in the area, which was a big plus in the world of expensive club sports. If you're looking for a more affordable club experience and want to be part of a growing program, I would definitely consider giving them a try. We were impressed by how much the girls playing developed over the season!

Stream Valley Volleyball was a complete disappointment from start to finish. There was zero…read moreconsistency, zero communication, and zero structure. Coaches rotated constantly, players were shuffled around, and no one ever seemed to know what was happening from week to week. They claim to prepare kids for competitive play, but it was the exact opposite. Instead of developing athletes, they left them confused, unsupported, and unmotivated -- no feedback, no progress, and no real coaching. The final straw was being offered a team spot, only for them to later decide my daughter "wasn't ready for the competitive environment." That's not a reflection on her -- it's a direct result of their disorganization and lack of coaching consistency. My daughter went on to make another competitive team with no issue whatsoever. Stream Valley desperately needs to fix its communication, structure, and accountability before calling itself "competitive."

Their lead coach for the week was Shannon, aka Coach Marshmallow. The kids all really liked him, and he seemed very organized and totally engaged with the kids. The kids played all sorts of games and were always tired, but happy at the end of each day. Even with a slightly twisted ankle (no swelling), our 9yr didn't want to miss out and wanted to go to camp! They were very good about letting her sit out of a game if it was outside her comfort level. Surprisingly, their favorite game was Dodge Ball! There were 3 other coaches that the kids got to know, Coach Kit Kat, Coach Laser, and Coach Panther. My kids liked them all. I'm glad the kids had a very positive experience at this camp! I thought the emails from "Team Snap" were a little excessive. It wanted me to verify the child's attendance for each day two days in advance. I'd be getting emails x 3 and basically just ignored everything once I signed the waivers and read through the introduction email. Another minor grievance was the amount of astroturf that stuck to the kids' socks and ended up even in their lunch bags. This, of course, isn't any fault of Skyhawks, but I wanted to complain to somebody! LOL

I would rate this zero stars if I could. Core makes a sales pitch at the beginning promising high level consistent volleyball training and coaching. The team has been passed from coach to coach as they leave the company or move on. They have unskilled parents/aunts/students coach and this is unacceptable for the cost of the program and sales pitch. Core Volleyball is just a money grab. We were at other private elite clubs for many years and they have a much better product for less. I have never written their coaches in 10 years of training with any level of complaint. Given the many other negative Yelp reviews and discussions with other parents our experience is not unique. The coaching is poor quality and you will not get the value. Core Volleyball does not deliver what they promise. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Extremely Unprofessional Instructor - Unsafe for Kids…read more I enrolled my son in his very first badminton class here, hoping it would be a positive introduction to the sport. Unfortunately, the experience was the exact opposite. The instructor was shockingly rude from the start, and at one point even kicked my son's leg while "correcting" his posture. This is completely unacceptable behavior toward any student, let alone a beginner attending his first class. No child should ever be subjected to physical aggression or humiliation in a learning environment. My son left the class upset and is now unwilling to return, which tells you everything about how damaging the interaction was. As a parent, I'm deeply disappointed and concerned that this kind of conduct is allowed to happen under their program. I strongly urge management to address this issue immediately and ensure instructors are trained to work with children respectfully and safely. Until then, I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

It was my first time signing my kids up for a spring break camp so I felt a bit nervous about how they would react to a new environment. My worries were immediately put to rest when I saw the fun interactions my kids had with coach John upon them leaving after the first day. With a big smile on his face, my boy was saying "you are the best!" back and forth with coach John. After returning home, they shared with me how much they liked playing football, basketball, tags, jumping house, and golf. I am thankful that the team at GrowFit took great care of my boys. Thank you and I highly recommend their camp program!

This camp was very misleading. I enrolled my son in the 6-9 soccer camp and all sports camp (9:00…read moreAM-4:00 PM), expecting structured soccer instruction. Instead, the day typically didn't start until 9:30 AM and was essentially over by 3:30 PM, with kids sitting around waiting for pickup. On the first day, one coach kicked a ball into my son's head and then disappeared for the rest of the week. My son came home every day saying he learned no soccer skills because there was little to no coaching. They didn't even play soccer on the last day. Most activities were random games unrelated to soccer. Afternoons consisted mainly of crafts, Legos, and a bounce house--fun activities, but not what was advertised. The check-in process was also disorganized. The receptionist repeatedly struggled to find my son's registration because she was confused about first and last names, despite his information being clearly visible in the system. She claims everyone makes mistake and that's ok, please tell this to your boss, not me. This camp has potential, but it is poorly managed and does not deliver what it promises. Updated based on Russ's feedback - the name in the system was correct because when your receptionist can't find it and handed me the iPad, I was able to look it up and it looks right. However, looks like it was sorted by first name but she asked for last name. I understand it was supposed to be very structured, but during class, it was not the case. My son even asked the coach to teach him how to kick and shoot better but the coach ignored him.
