This business is shady. My husband got an email saying he owed money from the previous month. He called and the lady at the front said his card was expired. After finding out healthsport had entered his expiration date wrong, my husband said he would be in there to pay in cash the next day and not to run his card. The lady over the phone asked him if he wanted her to change the expiration date and my husband said NO he would be in there tomorrow. He told her this twice..checking my bank account the next day the charge was pending in my account and taken out the next day. When my husband called to let healthsport know about this the guy on the phone was rude and pretty much said he doesn't care because he owed healthsport money. Waiting for a real "manager" to get a hold of me....

Great gym ever, I'm not sure enjoying the atmosphere of people, the manager, and the trainers are giving good resources for my brother at this, hopefully his trainer will lead his fitness journey above and beyond his life and do as much as she can to help him gain his confidence, passion, ambitious, and strength.

Love the gym and really love enjoying my workout sessions with my trainer, sure making great improvements hopefully keep it going as long as I can go for. But only one suggestion I don't feel comfortable with the certain people in the gym and I prefer a female manager running this outfit to bring new improvements to this gym along with new things self defense, martial arts, and different competition's to help the mind, body, and heart in every human being.

way overpriced… I’m from LA and there’s way cheaper gyms for the same or even more than what they offer. The hours on the weekends are the worst as well.

I have a question about the salinity of the water in the pool. Is it normal? Is it sea water or is there really a serious problem with the cleanliness and level of chemicals inside? As far as I know, pools should not be unusually salty unless it is sea water. Thank you. I hope for answers before continuing with my training.

The gym itself is nice enough. The weight room and cardio room has all of the equipment and machines you might need. The group exercise spaces are minimal. The group classes themselves are great depending on what you like, but the fact that some of them cost an additional fee on top of an already ridiculous membership fee keeps me away, which is too bad. Overall, it's the only option in Arcata and therefore, they can charge as much as they want, which they do. If I had another option I'd go somewhere else, but it's the only gym in town. Our high membership fees seemingly paid for a new gym addition which you can't use unless you pay more. I really shouldn't have expected any better from them.

I visited Arcata for a week for a trip to the redwoods and was looking for a gym to continue my workouts. The guy at the front desk when I came in for the first time was super helpful and welcoming. I wished I remembered his name, but I am bad at that. The rate for the week was reasonable especially considering all the equipment the gym is equipped with. I used the weight area, hot tub, and showers. There was so much more I didn’t use. If I am ever back in the area I would definitely come back.

I have been a HealthSPORT member for 6 years.

The tldr;

Great gym. Excellent weight room, plenty of cardio options. Wonderful classes for all types of members from young to old. Energetic personal trainers, friendly staff and accommodating to member requests.

There is a real sense of community between the members and management. They listen to their membership, trying to modernize the equipment and making the gym accessible to more people. Doug and Joe are both easily accessible to questions and concerns. As managers of the gym; they're both tremendously selfless with their work, you can see their integrity towards improving the gym and cultivating a positive environment for the staff and members.

My nephew really enjoyed and learned alot through the swim program. Sita has done an amazing job bringing in talented swim instructors.

Lastly their recent 12 Days of The Holidays was a nice way of bringing in friends and family in for free, and that 50% off start up was a great touch for the new year.

The facility is great with all the equipment needed for a great workout. I stopped in here while traveling and was easily able to grab a day pass for the gym. The pass is $25 which is quite steep, but it was hassle-free and the desk was staffed so I didn’t have to worry about calling or asking someone with a key tag for entry.

$25 to drop in and use the facility is a ridiculously high day use fee. This is designed to force people to sign up and pay for a monthly membership/startup fee/yearly maintenance fee. This practice excludes members of the community who want to prioritize their fitness but cannot because they can't afford it, their schedule doesn't allow for regular attendance to justify the expense, etc.

I don’t understand how anyone could leave a 1-star review on this place. Extremely well equipped gym, huge free weights area, pool and sauna, open lockers all the time AND the staff is very friendly and willing to work with you.

It’s not dirty, it’s not a homeless encampment, and it’s very reasonable at $53/mo.

9am weekend opening isn’t great but it’s Arcata, you get what you get.

My whole household [most of which are unemployed due to the pandemic, but still obligated to pay rent] is still being charged a "freeze fee" [for about six months] while the gym has been closed, despite my roommate [the main account holder] emailing and calling HealthSport multiple times, for months, asking to cancel our memberships. At this point it's valid to say they've stolen hundreds of dollars from us. Presumably they're also doing this to others. Still trying to get our money back.

And now they're reopening [now that cases in the county have *just* begun spiking beyond any previous levels]. It's absolutely insane.

The Arcata location of HealthSPORT impressed me by their awareness and thorough check-in process regarding COVID procedures. I'm extremely pleased with the cleanliness in general and the attention to detail - specifically in the locker room areas. It made me feel secure that I would be safe. To be honest - I came in to cancel my membership due to my safety concerns, however, the staff members there assured me and made me feel comfortable enough to come back and give it a try. And I'm so happy I did. I've been a member for over 19 years and I hope HealthSPORT will be able to remain open through this pandemic.

Worst customer service got double charged for a massage because I didn’t give them a 24 hour notice which I understand but explained to them it was an emergency situation why I couldnt make it and still didn’t give me the full refund. I get you lost money by me not showing up but my personal opinion is losing Customers from word of mouth is going to be worse than the little bit of money you could of just refunded. Wouldn’t recommend anyone. Switched to calcourts and they are awesome so far!!

I called to potentially sign up for a membership and spoke to two people in sales. Their attitude made it clear that they are only interested in wealthy clientele and don't want riff raff who can't afford personal training or massages. I was even told that "maybe this isn't the right club for you" after I told them that I was trying to find a way to afford a gym on a part-time salary.

In a way I am glad that they were so condescending. They made it clear what they stand for and in researching alternatives I found a non-profit organization who cares about the health of the entire community -- no matter what their income. The Arcata Community Pool gives discounts for people on Medi-Cal and CalFresh and they have fitness equipment as well as a sauna and hot tub. I will happily give my money to an organization that doesn't treat me like a second-class citizen.

Great gym with wide variety of group classes, plenty of cardio machines and knowledgeable staff.

I really don't enjoy mothers bringing their school age sons into the women's locker room. The gym allows boys up to age 5, but I came out of the shower to a naked 5th grader this week.

I get that mom's don't want their boys alone in the men's locker room, but there's a rinse-off shower and unisex bathroom by the pool. Use it!

Also, the boys 5 & under are too often running around rough housing. Truly unacceptable--keep your kids with you, or don't bring them into the locker room.
