The Trainers and staff are incredibly supportive and helpful! I have NEVER had the customer care as I do at Anytime Fitness. Come experience the difference and join me at the Solano Ave location.

Coaching staff are fantastic. I wish I had made use of the gym's coaching sessions years ago. I am in much better physical and mental shape after only 8 months of one on one coaching sessions. Very grateful to this gym and it's great staff.

These guys do the best they can with what they have and they have a decent set of gear. I’ve had a great experience being a part timer here, and I think it’s a very clean, very sane environment to be in. That’s saying a lot because the Bay Area is neither of those! But as for the gym, good location, very safe area to come to at night, great bathrooms and a shower that I never have tried but my friend said it was fine!

I personally recommend going in the night or evening hours for many reasons, one of them being the gym is way less busy, the trainers are not working with clients and taking up machines and space, and you can take your time with your workout. The only thing I will say is that this gym is not for everyone. For the more intense minded people it maybe a bit anemic but for the average habitual gym goer, then this is absolutely all you will ever need. The only real big let downs are there are no actual amenities of any kind - but it’s not a health spa after all. Finally the staff I have interacted with have mostly been wonderful

I joined and started personal training one year ago mostly because of the convenient location, and I've been very happy as a gym newbie and a senior, which it seems to attract. Staff is pleasant and supportive, equipment is clean and usually available, and the number and assortment of equipment choices more than meets my modest needs. Facilities are modest - 12 small cubbies with their own locks, other open cubbies; one shower (I haven't tried), no towels. Meter parking closest, free 1 1/2 blocks away. I would give 4.5 stars if I could.

Small gym with friendly staff, but I will never give my business to a company with such shady pricing. The rates that look like they’re monthly (because they’re in the monthly membership) are actually billed biweekly, and don’t include the $170 startup fee.

Great staff, great trainers, great equipment, great location and reasonable rates for what they offer. They made me feel welcome after too long a hiatus due to the pandemic and my complicated health history. This is also a place that is comfortable for older patrons such as myself during the day. Can't say enough about them and so glad they weathered the pandemic and even upgraded some of their equipment.

I love Anytime Fitness on Solano Ave. in Berkeley. Staff is great, cheerful and always helpful. Facility is well maintained with a great variety of machines. I have just rejoined after too long a break due to the pandemic and really look forward to my Anytime Fitness trainer sessions and workouts again.

There’s a lot of opportunity to improve this gym. For starters, the place is not very clean. A lot of the equipment and floors could use a good power washing. They have four squat racks, but only enough plates to accommodate one. Lighting was poor, further challenged by the dark walls and floors. Layout of the gym is a little wonky as well with half the gym in what feels like one retail space and then the stretching and group fitness area in another. Compared to the many other AF gyms I’ve been to, this one was the roughest.

Well equipped for a hotel gym. Not the best. Half the gym is usually occupied by group classes. The other half is machines. They will call you often to solicit training. If you need a trainer then they have a few good ones here. If you’re just looking for a place to exercise and be left alone then this may not be the gym for you. Try going to the Hopkins track instead. 1/2 of Equinox pricing with 1/8 the features and 1/16 the space. They want your money.

I would give a higher rating if it was bigger or at the very least more proportionate with the amount of strength training and cardio machines.

I liked the previous setup before they renovated, now I can’t even do hip thrusts unless gym is practically empty.

Staff are great and friendly, this place is very clean, one of the cleanest I’ve been to and for the most part, everyone picks up after themselves. It’s so frustrating to see grown adults need to be babied to clean after their mess, but here people disinfect and pick up the weights, like 97% of the time.

It doesn’t get TOO crazy for most of the time but sometimes it does and it’s so small so it’s overwhelming and you can’t do nothing.

Only downsides. Small and little strength training equipment.

I've been to Anytime fitness locations up and down the west coast and this has been the first one that I didn't like.

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 3 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.

Always very clean and stays organized. The staff are not intrusive but friendly. Different folks doing their own workout, again friendly but not a scene. Good amount of racks/weights. As the name says, you can go when you can! Everyone seems to wipe off the equipment after they're done. Great value!

Pros:
Open 24/7 all year round, with the exception of a 1-week annual renovation period. During this time, usual membership applies and members must pay for a renovation fees (happens twice a year). The gym boasts a friendly community atmosphere, ensuring a welcoming experience. Gym is clean overall, with well-maintained exercise areas, showers, and lavatories. For equipment, the gym provides basic workout equipments and accessories, catering to general fitness needs.

Cons:
The gym has a disproportionate amount of cardio equipment compared to strength training options. Recently, they reduced their power racks from 3 to 2, resulting in often a 30-minute wait time. Space for deadlifting and hip thrust setups is limited, with essentially only one area available. A notable absence is vertical crunch equipment or specific abs workout gear. Additionally, there is no free parking on-site, which can be inconvenient if you live far away. The gym's app often displays inaccurate occupancy information; it shows 6-8 people when in reality, the number is closer to 25.
Lastly, the monthly membership fee ranges from $70 to $90, which is significantly higher than the nearby the bigger gyms in the area, where fees range from $20 to $30. There are two indoor climbing with gym area that charge ~80 monthly membership fee.

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.

Used to go to that gym every day. The shower room is always out of order, and lockers are never fixed.

So I filled out the cancel membership form IN PERSON on 03/04 and returned the key on 03/11 as the employee told me it's the last day of access, and told me I am ALL SET.
After that, i still got charged and received past-due invoices for $98 in the mail as of April 8. Called the office to ask why they said it's according to the agreement I signed. I am responsible for paying another 2 billing circles AFTER cancelation of membership.

In conclusion, I paid $98 for NOTHING bcz i returned the key 1 month ago.

TRAIN YOUR EMPLOYEE, PLEASE.

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.

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.

This has been my go-to gym for a number of years now and the staff make sure to take care of everything for their members. They also take part in a lot of community drives and fund raising events that give back to the city!

This is a wonderful gym!
Just a reminder that Most of CA’s gyms are closed due to Governor’s order in combating the COVID19. If u see this ok Google map and find this is still open, it actually is not. The closure starts from 18th and I have no idea when this will reopen.

Stay safe and stay fit

Honestly, it's a pretty expensive membership for the size of the gym, and the diversity of equipment you get, also, having one shower is sort of a problem.... after my contract is up I'm most likely switching to a bigger cheaper gym

Would have liked some more free weights--with only one Olympic bar rack, I could be waiting a long time if someone else is using it. Lockers would be nice too, although the cubbies are within full view of workout area and security cameras. Otherwise a nice gym; good resources and friendly staff. 24/7 access really nice, and 7-day free trial lets you see if it's a good fit.

Pros:
-Friendly and helpful trainers!
-It's a small gym so it has a nice family vibe.
-They let you freeze your account when you go on vacation!!!! (5STARS)

Cons:
-Only 1 squat rack and 1 smith machine so during peak hours you might have to wait to get your sets in.
-Expensive
-Awkward leg press machine

Overall, I would say its an awesome gym!

They never place music. If you want to do deadlifts it's an odd experience considering there's barely any room to and you have to put down mats below the bar when you use "noisy equipment." I've been lifting for years and have been to many gyms and this one was probably my least favorite.

One room with lots and lots of cardio machines, one rack, a shower, lots of machines, and free weights up to 80 or 85lbs. Another large and empty room for yoga, stretching, and whatever else you want.
Overall, it's a small gym but it makes do. You'll be waiting forever for the rack though because it's usually crowded.
I'm only giving it 4 stars because it's small and crowded. The best time to go was around 9pm when the gym was nearly empty.

Edit: Turns out they charge 10$ to bring a guest. That's just silly and brought my rating down half a star.

My son joined this gymn. He has been away at college since September and we have been
unable to cancel his membership. the gymn keeps billing my credit card.
I am going to have to cancel the credit card to get rid of them which is a huge inconvenience.
Don't join this gymn. they are interested in their own profits, not your health or fitness.
