Small but they have everything you need.Yeah its not a massive place but its nice for the community.I love the exercise classes as well. By far my favorite is body pump.The free weight section is a bit awkward since there is not a clear place to stand... but most people find a way to work around it.If there was another 24 closer... maybe Id give this less stars... but for the convenience I have it 5! (Also for the classes)

The staff is very friendly and it has everything you need. They also do a good job with routinely wiping down equipment and walking around doing their gym checks. I will say, however, the equipment is REALLY old. The cables machines break relatively often. Despite being old, however, they all still work. The club also got some new equipment over the pandemic - namely some cables, rubber plates, ab rollers, etc. The club is a little small compared to some of the other gyms and dont have some amenities such as pool, bball courts, turf, etc - but if you just want to squeeze in a workout, itll work just fine.

Been back to this for 3 weeks since Covid pandemic... but do not like their new check in system as I do not take my phone into gym. The other option is to present my drivers license....which is definitely not touchless.

FANTASTIC place to workout. Steve and Porscha are the best, when it comes to managing and teaching their people how to run a club. I highly recommend this place.

A Smaller 24 hour fitness but the stuff and the members are respectful, it’s just that some of the machines need to be updated.ProsNice members (usually people sanitize after the use a machine)Nice staff ( the usual welcome and have a good night with a smile)ConsSmall(although usually the space not crowded)Some machines are old

Horrible experience today at the Castro Valley 24 hour fitness location. The General Manager accused my friend and I of training each other just ONE day after reopening during this pandemic. We were simply trying to get a good workout in because we have been so limited the last couple months. He was extremely rude and I will most definitely be cancelling my membership that I’ve had for YEARS and looking to support another gym nearby.

This is a god awful location!!! Don’t Believe any of the positive reviews. They are employees who were told to post good things about the club. It truly is dank. The air inside is incredibly musty and the equipment is rusty, falling apart, and looks gerryrigged. They could truly do better with shutting this down and finding a new building to establish a new Castro valley 24 club.Why doesn’t corporate see these reviews and shut it down.

Its a small location and not some of the newer 24 hour fitness but i really like it. It gets the job done, its clean and staff is always friendly and nice. When people complain about things being clean i feel like saying its people like us who are training there who leave stuff all around and leave it messy. I have seen staff cleaning as much as they can. I try to clean up after myself whenever i work out at a machine. Again no complaints at all.

I’ve been going to this gym for about 10yrs, and yes it’s not updated, the equipment is old and lacks air circulation but it got the job done. However once they changed their business hours, they basically open whenever after 4. I’ve had this happen 3 times in the past 2 weeks! This is absolutely unacceptable for those of us who have supported your business for decades! I can only work out at 4am, SO OPEN WHEN YOU SAY YOU’RE GOING TO OPEN!!!!

By Far One of the best gyms I’ve been to, and I go to 24 hour centers all over the bay, and Los Angeles, and orange county areas. This place is small but it is always clean the staff is always outgoing really friendly, it’s not just once in a while, it’s every time I walk through those doors the staff there is warm and welcoming with greetings, they’ always say goodbye they always ask if you need something.most of the other club members are great for community as well .

Nice small gym. Staffs were nice and the equipments were always clean. Friendly people too.

Easy to find and plenty of free parking. Not large but it is an Active sized place with plenty of cardio. A few machines were down and could use more fans but staff friendly and have most of what you need. Was not crowded at night and was able to get in and out just fine. Looked smaller from outside and they seem to jam in most of what you need.

I heard one employee cursing while talking to a senior client because the facility was about to close while some clients were still in the locker room. That one employee is very rude and unprofessional. The other employees are nice and friendly.Atleast 2 to 3 machines are out of order every time I go here. Not the best experience.

Disregard the estimated popular times because they are so off; ask an employee for this info. I only like this gym for its convenient location to me. Other than that. Its too damn small. Also, some people that go here are morons that SLAM machines --- these people need to be checked by the employees.

The staff is very friendly and the crowd in there is a good bunch but the facility is lacking. Dated equipment and restrooms. Only ONE squat rack which is an absolute joke. Expect long lines to use the rack. If you dont need a squat rack then everything else is fairly good you can come in and get a good lift in. The price is great and plenty of cardio machines for those that are incline to do cardio.I joined mostly for the free weights. There are many serious lifters here in this confined space so their can be lines for flat bench (only 2) and squat rack (only 1) I can NEVER get on the squat rack no matter what time of the day I come in. 7 AM on a Saturday and there was already a line to use the squat rack. People are courteous to each other but its hard to work in with someone when they are dead-lifting or hip thrusting and you want to squat instead.Bathroom/locker room is a complete mess and i dont think its because of the staff. It just very old and dated. Hard to keep something like that clean, mens toilet area is always in disgusting shape.. Never enough soap in hand-washing area or paper towels.For the price and everything else its a solid spot. However, I think trying one of the other 24 hours in the area might be the best move for now until some changes are made here.

Perfect Hole in the Wall Gym for Real gym folks! Not flashy or pretty, but a straight Gainz Zone! Love it there

Great if you have lowered expectationsAwesome because the locker smells like barbecue since there is a Dickys next door and they cook all night. Tasty!

Small gym, but does not get too crowded. Good selection of cardio machines and weight machines

They guided me always in all equipment and give me an best advice for my fitness..

This place is really dirty. Old machines, and equipment. It stinks it really smells. They dont have anyone cleaning the floors. I see the same dust and hair that had been sitting there for a while.

Its a hole in the wall 24...Maybe corporate could move the CV 24 or give this location a refresh...

Small and very old equipments but I do give them 3 stars because they clean and people here are much more respectful in the sense they rerack weights!

Nice low key gym. Crowded at nights but great during of hours

This gym basically has zero amenities besides a shower, is always filthy, and has terrible management. April the manager is extremely unprofessional and has no regard for her customers.

The gym could use a makeover, but its fine if youre just looking for the basics.

This gym is not that big but the staff and trainers treat you like family. If you are looking for a trainer ask for Ray B. But honestly all the trainers are great.

Decent equipment and a good price, although I wish there were more classes.

Friendly, helpful staff. The group class schedule works great for me.

I would gave 5 stars to the management and staff for their excellent service. However the facility and Equipment need upgrades.

Not overly crowded but with everything I need. Less equipment but if your educated you can still do it all

The people there are pretty cool. Some of the equipment is poorly maintained. I dont think this is due to the person maintaining it, the equipment itself is just not very good...treadmills especially.

Its good enough to get the job done. It needs some TLC. Its been getting some lately. Wi-Fi! Woohoo. Wish it was a bit bigger. Not bad.

Very small by24 hr standards and its not much cheaper for the price. Only reason in use it is for its convenience as its way closer than any other gym for me

Small but has everything you need. Not as crowded as other locations.

They updated several machines. Friendly staff and clean. Convenient location.

The location is convenient, super quick hop off the freeway and hop back on if youre commuting, usually not that busy, lackluster selection of machines/weights, really only go for the cardio, pretty much empty at night after 8/9pm

It is a small 24 but if you know what your doing your good, there is a lot of friendly people working there and working out there. If you go after 11pm your pretty much by yourself.

Mostly good, some times of the day its a bit crazy. This is an Active version of 24 Hour Fitness, it has lockerroom, showers, etc. Weights, some machines, Cardio equipment/room and GroupX room with scheduled classes, however generally in the early afternoon, that room is available for your own thing. I like that it has all the basics that you want in a gym without the Country Club aspects - the Sport versions of 24 Hour FItness generally have a pool and/or basketball courts, of those two, Id only use the pool, however, they are all too short for any serious swim workout. Going down scale from Active is Express its main problem is no showers and cut down on all the other main features of an Active.

Amazing people nice and love the way everything is .

I like how small it is, less people but i wish they had. More work out machines.

Worst gym Ive ever visited. Dirty and 30-year old equipment. Extremely expensive membership. No idea why people go there.

Need to upgrade lots of broken and old equipment. Also doe not have a Sauna or Spa

24 should be ashamed of themselves for this location.

Not too busy

Ok gym. Small. No sauna or steam room. But gets the job done

Great place to get your sweat on

Active, all the basic facilities can be a bit crowded during popular times.

A little small, but not busy on weekends and easily able to get your workout done. I would come back to this location

Pretty small but good enough

Need to update Equipment.Its always run down at Castro Valley Gym.

Dated equipment that is not well-maintained.

Clean and nice small gym

Small, old, not worth it, no pool, no saunaI am talking only about this one only

Gets the job done, but the location can be a little unkempt.

Staff was Very friendly. Facility Wise, Run down place. Old and Overused Equipment

Eveeywhere and awesome

Nothing fancy, just enough to get a work out in.

One squat rack in the entire place......horrible

Average cleaniness!

Nice and clean

Cool

It works for me!

Needs an overhaul

Great

Very small

Old equipment
