I'm just going to settle on 3 stars here, an average of all my experiences. 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,

I joined last week at the Sonoma locations a couple of blocks from where I live. I went in on Wednesday at 12 noon and left around 2pm. I went into the locker room and someone had apparently clipped the lock and took my backpack with all my belongings in it and took the lock. It was a "Fingerprint to open" lock. The staff inspected it and wrote a report but offered me nothing! I will never go to this location again. I will find another location and I will not be using the lockerroom lockers again!!!!!

There's plenty of cardio machines available at all times. From what I've seen people are respectful and wipe down the equipment after use. The biggest bonus is you can bring a guest with you every time. It's like a two in one membership! In the multiples times I've been here I've only seen one machine out of service. Certain machines are very popular/almost always in use like the assisted pull up. I think there may only be one of those. There's a vending machine with drinks available. The people working at the front have been polite. Be warned there are signs not to leave any valuables in the lockers. Keep them with you at all times. Even in early-mid January this gym wasn't that crowded.

There was a bit of a kerfuffle for the 2025 season with the owner attempting to move the team to Santa Rosa, but they ended up coming back to Vallejo because that is clearly where the team is meant to be.

Pecos League and new team looks like they're still trying to find their (SEA) legs a bit and smooth out opening kinks, particularly here in Vallejo. Appears somewhat less organized than the former league of the Admirals, as evidenced by a talent shot out for qualified players? Got a glove & a beer belly? Maybe you too can play?

Like any In-Shape,…read morethe membership isn't cheap, but when I renewed recently, the manager helped me get a good discount. They were willing to work with me, which I really appreciated. One thing I really like is that this is the only gym I've been to where my car has never been vandalized. At other gyms in Vallejo I've had my windows smashed, but never here. I'm not sure if it's because of the location or because the security guards are always walking the parking lot, but it definitely gives me peace of mind. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, the gym is clean, and they've been doing a lot of renovations lately. The equipment is well maintained, and the machines are rarely out of order. My only complaint is that the main weight room is a little small and can get crowded during peak hours. Other than that, it's a great gym, and I'd definitely recommend it.

The school was excellent under the prior ownership/management. Since the change in ownership in…read moreJuly/August 2026, it feels the new ownership places more importance on running a business versus developing their young swimmers (forcing kids to wear swim caps, inconsistent teachers, stricter guidelines for managing absences, etc.). Our 3 year old was in the Starfish class and loved his teacher, but since the change in ownership, his teachers have been different which has caused a lot of anxiety with a child that has already struggled with water confidence. If your child is older or doesn't mind inconsistency with his teachers, BSS might work great for you. If you have a young child or a child that does not adapt well to changes, I would suggest looking elsewhere.

TLDR: stay clear of this place, unless you like paying thousands for glorified day care…read more UPDATE - response to owner's (Cheronda A.) reply to this review: Hi Cheronda, I already did exactly what you suggest, before leaving this review I reached out to you directly to raise my concerns, which you refused to address after which you ended our conversation by writing quote; "There will be no further correspondence on this matter.", which now results in your incongruity between your private and public communication being on public display. Original review: British Swim School's Vallejo location, run by Cheronda A. and team, advertise their program as being able to "instilling water survival skills that save lives". After 17 months (64 lessons) and $2500 down the drain, we pulled our son from this program due to it being more akin to an aquatic day care (with you as the parent remaining present) than a swim program. The people at the school are nice enough interpersonally, but these are the red flags to notice: - After an initial few weeks you stop getting feedback, which when given is always verbally and never through skill progress item in the British Swim School's app. If you challenge the owner (Cheronda A.) on this, you will be gaslighted in there being more feedback than there actually is, and that it is their policy to only give verbal feedback versus using the app for what it is intended. - You'll notice your child will have many different instructors throughout lessons, with great variety as seniority as instructors. - You're paying about $40 for a 30min session, but on avg. there are 4 kids per classes, meaning even if you round up that's $40 for 10 minutes of instruction, as in the 64 "lessons" we paid for equates to having paid $2500 for less than 11 hours of instruction. - The lessons are utterly simple snd repetitive, and not lessons at all, the same 4 simple things are just endlessly repeated without any coaching or guidance from the instructors towards the child as to what to do different or how to improve. - The final straw, when you confront them on the inadequacies listed above, they will a) gaslight you in terms of feedback cycles, but much much worse, b) blame the lack of results on your child. In summary, this school will happily take your money for providing very little, and in terms of practical outcomes are operating in opposition of their mission statement.

In my experience, this is a place where you either feel like you belong or you don't. There were times I felt judged, uncomfortable, and honestly more bullied than supported. There was also an interaction when I first came back that made me uncomfortable. The owner asked how I had been after all these years, and during the conversation I mentioned that I now have a son. He asked how old my son was, and when I said he was 6, he made a snarky comment along the lines of, "You should have come back sooner." I found that comment very inappropriate and unnecessary, especially considering the personal circumstances and years of my life that had passed since I was last there. It immediately contributed to the feeling that I was being judged rather than welcomed back. The membership situation was ultimately the final straw. I completed the 3-month agreement I originally signed up for and immediately communicated that I did not want to continue. I was not trying to cancel early or get out of an agreement. The 30-day cancellation policy only came up when we discussed going month-to-month after my original 3 months had ended. Being charged for a fourth month on something I understood to be a 3-month agreement clearly indicates that there was a lack of clarity somewhere. What made the situation worse was how the owner responded when I questioned the charge. I found his responses disrespectful and condescending. I was reminded about the discount I had received, and my mom was brought into the conversation simply because her card was on file. At some point, I believe a business should be able to communicate respectfully with the actual member regarding their own membership. I supported this business, paid my membership, and chose to come back after years away. I never expected special treatment, but I did expect basic respect and clear communication. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled left me feeling like my business was valued more than my experience as a member. Definitely not the way I expected things to end

Their sports complex is so small, they had 3 lanes open if I remember well, 2 were medium sized and one a bit larger. Only the 2 bigger lanes were being used for fast pitch Friday. They had about 20 girls participating, the parents were packed like sardines on the stairs and on the sides with the batters there was no room to walk, they have a second floor but you can't see anything unless your kids pitching. We weren't given instruction on how it would go. They throw in pitchers and catchers first, no adult was keeping count on how many at bats or ball count. The girls were guessing the ball counts/at bats. A few times the owner seemed to just switch out batters at random times and gave preference to his buddies kids. Batters pay more and batters get less time for reps.
