I've been to Anytime fitness locations up and down the west coast and this has been the first one that I would never return to.I got berated for knocking on the door to the one shower. Apparently guests are expected to assume without indication that if the shower door is closed it means someone is in there and should not be knocked on to check.To find a place to stretch, I had to wedge myself in between two machines. There is a sign outside the stretching studio that says no one is allowed in if a class is in session. There was a class in session with an instructor and three students and 85% of the floor space was Unused.The gym is super tiny with limited equipment and a very cramped crowded feeling. There were Three Trainers training guests at all times cramping up all of the spaces further. I had to step in between and around and over people In order to get to the dumbbells and machines. One woman was blocking the entire hallway to the rear/emergency exit while she stretched there with an iPad phone and a laptop all set up.Alameda and Pacifica and Sausalito are incredible locations. This one is the sad outlier.

Great neighborhood gym with a friendly and helpful staff. Most people come to maintain their fitness and not show off. A variety of clientele of different ages makes it a respectful and cordial experience. The equipment is up-to-date and well-maintained. I have not tried the classes. A jewel. Parking can be challenging.

I completed a short-term pass at the Anytime Fitness on Solano, as I was in town for a week. It was a wonderful experience and I intend to return when I am back in the East Bay (I visit 2-3 times a year). Fantastic employees, clean and well maintained gym. Keep it up!!

Giovanni Vozada is a wonderful Personal Trainer at Anytime Fitness.He is strong and kind and he has a good sense of humor. We laughed a lot during my sessions, especially when I was having difficulty with an exercise.He makes exercising fun and challenging. It was great to see and feel my body getting stronger after the routines that he gave me.He focused on parts of my body, especially my upper back and shoulders that need strengthening. He was kind and patient with me when I couldn't remember the exercises. He put the exercise routines on my phone so I could do the routines on my own. He even put some of the exercises on video for me. That was great. He always showed me an exercise and corrected me when I didn't get it right. It was frustrating but helpful. He challenged me by increasing the difficulty of an exercise, but he kept the difficulty at a reasonable level so I could have the satisfaction of being able to do it correctly.He made me feel good when I got an exercise right. and encouraged me to do them on my own between sessions.I highly recommend Giovanni as a Personal Trainer to anyone who wants to get stronger and enjoy exercising more. He is a great trainer and makes working out more rewarding and fun.

I joined Anytime Fitness this March because of their reviews, closeness to my house and best of all, the cost is actually reasonable for a Bay Area gym. AF has met all of my needs, perfect amount of equipment, it's never too busy and everyone working their is so helpful and friendly. A huge bonus is that you get a complimentary 30 minute session with one of their trainers when you join. That's how I met, Gio. I have never enjoyed working out and I knew that if my health was going to be a priority that I needed someone to hold me accountable. Fast forward 3 months and the results are honestly something I didn't think I'd ever accomplish. Gio has been instrumental in motivating me to achieve my goals. He is always fun to talk to, encouraging and understanding of what I want to get out of my sessions. It wasn't an overnight transformation and I still have a long way to go but I feel so much better mentally and physically.

Been a long time since I have been on a gym so didn't know what go expect. Anytime Fitness feels comfortable and inviting. I feel they care about your overall fitness and not just your pocket book Staff is there to help you if you need any help or have questions.

I filled out the cancel membership form IN PERSON in your Solano on March 4 and returned the key on March 11. But I am still getting charged and received past-due invoices for $98 in the mail as of April 8. I also got charged $19 on my card I don't even know where this is from. Are you kidding me?

I have never felt so welcomed and so comfortable at a gym before. From day one Renee has been very helpful and has answered every question I have. She's made appointments with me to sit and speak about my fitness journey and gives great suggestions, whether it be about stretching, diet or workouts. I haven't met all the staff but Rocky and Jordan have also been very welcoming and helpful! All around a lot of friendly faces here. Also the facilities are always clean & open 24/7 which is amazing. If a machine is broken or needs a part, they are super quick to get things fixed and the separate rooms offer space to do yoga/stretching/trx and more. Definitely try out the classes, they work your a** out!

as one who has trained and worked in gyms for over 50 years, I can say that Anytime Fitness here in Berkeley is easily one of the best gyms I have ever trained at as the staff is super friendly, very knowledgeable about fitness, and everyone took the time to get to know me and to be as helpful as possible about my condition. Am very glad I joined and the fact that they are open 24/7 is also most useful to someone who likes to train at odd hours. Highest recommendation.

I usually don't write reviews at all but I am very big on consent from others around. Today I am at the gym and this lady walks in with her dog. First off the gym is small which I like but too many people plus the dog I feel would create chaos. Also, it is very insensitive of her to bring her dog I'm not knowing people with a background with dogs. Some people are allergic and some are deathly scared of them and that's not fair to be the people who just want to work out. Overall people shouldn't assume everybody tolerates it like dogs.
