I joined around May of 2023. Ownership was investing in the gym (new equipment, added cold plunges and saunas) and doing a huge membership drive (temporary discounted rates, gift cards for referrals). The first couple months I would see a maintenance guy maintaining the equipment, keeping everything in working order. Really nice guy. Now, I haven't seen the maintenance guy in months. Cables broke on a couple pieces of equipment and out of order paper signs have been hanging on them since early to mid November. During peak hours (after 5 pm Monday-Thursday) the gym is overcrowded. Every working piece of cardio equipment was in use except all the treadmills in a room hosting a class. They were not using the treadmills but I was asked to leave by the instructor when I attempted to use a treadmill. I saw the owner reply to another post about 3 months ago saying he would consider a policy change. I guess he decided to not change it. I recommended the gym to some friends back in the summer of 2023. Now I'm considering leaving the gym myself. When I asked about cancellation policy, the front desk handed me a business card with instructions on how to cancel. Seems like they get that question a lot.

I like this gym, a lot, I'm a member here. But there is one thing that makes me want to quit every time I come in.... It's so dang hot. Like a terrarium. Even before you touch a weight or cardio it's hot. I've tried to ask the front desk to help many MANY times but nothing changes. Maybe that's because near the front door isn't as bad as the gym section. It's much cooler up there. The AC is set to 73 which is way too high, which means it'll never get cooler than that. In fact I've come in in the am and it's been set to 73 and when I leave the gym temp reads 75. So it's almost as if the AC doesn't work. It's winter time, 5:30 am and it's a sweat box so I'm super worried about summer hoping this review gets someone up highs attention!

I've been a member of Afterburn since pre-pandemic and with the exception of an amazing remodel, new equipment and addition of the sauna cold plunge, this gym has been one of the better all around gyms in the South Bay for years. Coaches are great, it isn't wildly packed unless it's in the AM while classes are running, and it's a huge facility with lots of equipment. Plus lots of squat racks!

The community at this gym is so inclusive and the trainers are excellent for one on one or group classes. The addition of the new sauna and ice plunge is a plus. Plenty of rigs and equipment to work out. I wish there was a bit more yoga and spin but there are so many lift, boxing, interval and melt classes to choose from. And a smoothie bar makes everything nice.

The classes are hard as hell and you feel like a champ when you're finished! Instructors are great. Good amenities like an ice plunge bath. The ladies locker room could be cleaner

Good location, nice front desk staff and generally a nice gym with all the necessary equipment. Be warned though , classes clearly have the priority and even if you're not interfering with the flow of the class (i.e off to side or not using the same equipment) you'll be asked to move with no ability to coexist. A proposed solution, while definitely a solid attempt to be helpful, of "check the app to see when a class is going to be held and maybe come in later" only really helps when the person has absolutely nothing else going on in life yknow?

Absolutely my favorite gym. As someone who has been to a lot of different gyms, this is the best. The classes are amazing, cold plunge(cleaned daily), new sauna, smoothie bar, therabody compression leg sleeves, and massage therapists. It has everything.

UPDATE: Shocker, I unsubscribed yet again and just got another email from them. This place is an absolute joke.ORIGINAL: I've been unsubscribing from their email lists since 2019 and yet I still keep getting spam. I do not live in California anymore and have not in years. Even if I did, I would never join this gym again. One of the trainers stole my coat on a night out with mutual friends and I never got it back. Another made us download their partner's startup app in order to get class info. On top of that, the owner sent out a Facebook rant video when Covid first hit bashing mask mandates and saying they wouldn't follow guidelines. I literally want nothing to do with this place but they pop up every so often to remind me of how terrible they are.

As a retired professional boxer, ex collegiate soccer player and former personal trainer, I've been to many gyms! This by far is the best gym I've ever been to. I signed up because of the cold plunge, recovery boots and sauna since these are amenities you cannot find in ANY gym. Now that I've been here for a few months, I must say, the gym itself is great! They have the latest, brand new equipment plus the staff and members are super friendly.

I modified an exercise in one of their group fitness classes and the instructor turned the music down to call me out in front of the entire class for modifying the exercise to meet my personal fitness goals. It was embarrassing and left a horrible taste in my mouth, especially given I was a member for 2+ years.

This place is amazing. I've been in this gym for a long time. I like the classes, a lot a variety, in particular now with the new MELT class ( a killer).Love the trainers! Some of them are pillars of the gym. The stuff? The cherry on the cake!

RESPONSE TO OWNER RESPONSE: No, you are still refusing to cancel my membership without me having to pay for your mistake. That is not okay, all I asked was for Afterburn to fulfill their promises and transfer me to the month to month membership. Danielle (Owner) did not want to work with me. Again, it is not my fault that the employees are not trained correctly and now I'm being forced to pay. How does that make any sense?? Stop with your pettiness and cancel the membership.Canceling your membership here is a nightmare! I was told by an employee at Afterburn that I could join and switch over to a month to month membership at the beginning of the year. Fast forward to beginning of the year, said employee is not there anymore and now I'm being told that I cannot switch over and that I will have to buyout my membership to cancel. I'm being ping-ponged back and forth between the gym and customer care and being forced to pay the cancelation fee when it was never my fault that their employee gave me false information.

The best gym ever. Seriously. Especially if you are into fitness classes. Many great trainers who are extremely knowledgeable. Particularly, I want to mention Nick Mo. I have been lifting for 20 years, and he is the first coach to give me the personal attention in class that I need. Because of his attention to detail, he is able to do that for a class of 30+ people. And once you come for awhile, he remembers what is going on in your body and will give you unique cues that are personal to you to fix your posture, injuries, etc. I've been going to his classes for 2 years now and I can't believe how much he has helped me transform my body to become stronger and more mobile. You can tell he truly is passionate about fitness. Also, all of the staff are energetic, kind, and helpful. They remember who you are by name when you walk in the door. I like that personal touch. The people who attend this gym are also great. This place attracts good people. Another cool plus.. free normatec machine. Thanks afterburn!
