awful gym. a waste of $50 a month..... equipment is constantly out of order and covered in sweat because nobody wipes it down. pilates machines that are never in use and for "private classes" i was told. and staff is not welcoming at all.

Great gym, low price $70 a month with a decent locker. Friendly people, just wish they would fix the heavybag at the gym in modesto so I don't have to drive to Turlock to hit the heavybag

I was there for about 1 1/2 years and staff is ok , but the showers are always on maintenance hot tub is most of the time out of service!. Looker room smell like wet dog. But the membership fee went up a lot. This is the Turlock location. Sorry but I had to say something. Very unhappy with this gym. .

My mother use to go to this gym through her insurance, but she was told that the gym no longer wanted elders. I'm pretty sure that's called discrimination.

They tossed out all Senior Citizens and the handicapped out the door and canceled our memberships. They will no longer except Medicare sponsored excersize programs .What kind of gym doesn't work with these groups encouraging them to get healthy. Very disappointed in Brenda Athletic Club.

I absolutely love it here! This is the first time as a gym member in 60 years. I went in recovering from poor health and surgery.I decided to go with the trainer so I could learn how to do things properly so I would not hurt myself.My trainer is Mary. She is excellent!I could not possibly be more pleased with the benefits. In a short time, not only has my health improved but the pain that I suffer every day is so much better that I don't have to take a pain pill every single day or night just to sleep.The facility is clean.The members are very good at wiping down the equipment when they're finished using it.

I have only been going here briefly and the staff has been very unprofessional. I went to cancel my membership and the staff was rude and I was hit with the annual membership fee the month I cancel. I should have went to in-shape. If you’re reading this save yourself the headache and go somewhere else. Gym equipment was broken half the time and weights scattered making it a scavenger hunt just to workout. Just go somewhere else, you’ll thank me.

This is the worst gym I've ever been a member of. Machines are constantly broken. Sauna is constantly out of order. There are employees mopping and cleaning windows, but that is the extent of their cleaning process. The machines, windows sills, and corners of the rooms are dusty, covered in debris or show what I assume are dried sweat stains. Water bottles left scattered everywhere, as well as paper towels. Even the vending machines don't work. They will have you sign a contract but they will still raise your membership fees despite that contract (most recently May 2022). Forget trying to contact a manager. I've asked to speak to this manager, I get told they aren't there. I email the manager, no response. Which is why I'm here now. Lastly, the crowd here is has no gym etiquette. There will be girls chatting, sitting on the machines, not using them. People will use machines, like the squat rack, and will not rerack the plates. Dumbbells are often out of place or not reracked at all. Step benches are left out. I spend my valuable workout time reracking other people's weights. You would think the 5 employees they have at any given time would encourage members to follow the gym etiquette procedures they have posted by the front desk, but they are so enthralled in their conversation, I rarely see them leave the front desk area to check machines, deep clean machines or even help pick up gym equipment. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

Would not recommend a long term commitment to the Turlock gym. The men's sauna is broken every other week and they take forever to fix it. It gets broken one day and then the next day it will work and the day after, it will be broken again. The staff do nothing to fix it. They have taken longer than 2 weeks to fix it in the past. How hard is it to get someone to take a look at it and diagnose the problem that keeps happening for the sauna to break. They sometimes blame it on the wait time to get a certain part to get delivered. Well why not order multiple parts that they might need to have in stock when it breaks in the future. Or just get a whole new sauna unit itself. With the amount that people pay for rates (which keep going up), I know they can afford it. The sauna has been broken for a week now again and they still haven't fixed it. Some primarily choose this gym because of the sauna but if it is never working then what is the point.Also, the staff here are very rude. A friend of mine was once told by one of the male staff wearing a hat "I'm going to have to kick you out" while he was in the sauna. It was about 4 minutes from closing time and he had every intention of getting out before closing time came. They don't have any rules which state you have to get out of the sauna a certain amount of time before the gym closes. When he was out of the sauna and changing in the bathroom, the worker kept standing there staring and waiting for him and asked if he was ready yet, when it was about 2 minutes to closing time. The worker should not be pressuring when it was not even closing time. Theres not rule that says you have to be out of the bathroom a certain time before closing.Rather try out InShape in ceres since it is the closest other gym that has a sauna and was also recently revamped.

A big issue I have at Brenda’s gym is a employee that goes by the name Alex. Always give me some type of excuse of why I can’t workout Even though I’m a member. Has even given me attitude multiple times,over all giving me a hard time

Sauna goes out every other week but you'll get charged for it.

This place is DISGUSTING. The locker room has carpet and reeks of mold and feet. Nothing gets cleaned and the sauna is even worse. It's over priced and the staff is rude. Go anywhere else
