About
Membership-only gym with a pool, basketball court, and sauna, plus child care and fitness classes.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? The gym receives mixed reviews, with a strong divide in member experiences. Many laud the owner, Steve, and most of the staff (Jose, Lleny, Austin, Angelina, Paco) for their exceptional kindness, professionalism, and helpfulness, often highlighting an 'old-school vibe.' However, the facility itself is frequently criticized for being extremely packed, uncomfortably hot due to inadequate air conditioning and fans, and having numerous broken cardio machines. Some new members also found the environment unwelcoming due to judgmental stares. A specific staff member, Hugo, elicits highly conflicting opinions: while some praise him as an amazing, friendly, professional, and encouraging instructor with great classes, others describe him as aggressive, on a 'power trip,' and enforcing personal, unstated policies, noting a trend of issues with him. Despite the generally friendly staff, facility shortcomings and the contentious experience with Hugo lead to both strong recommendations and advisories against the gym, especially considering its price.

Gym is extremely packed, and is always far too hot. For their “ac” system they only seem to have a few fans around the place. Half the treadmills and other cardio equipment are broken, and the ones that work are in a poor state. It’s not beginner friendly either, people there tend to stare judgmentally to newcomers. For the price, there are better and more accommodating gyms. Only upside is the staff is usually friendly. Would not recommend.

Let me say all of the staff here have been fantastic except for Hugo. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but he has been aggressive and instantly escalating towards conflict to me and my friends. He seems to be on some sort of power trip and “enforcing” his own code of policies such as banging weights even when they’re not being dropped and shoes he doesn’t like (none of the other employees have ever enforced) that are not stated anywhere in the gym or handbook and when asked to show the policies as I have never seen them stated anywhere, he gets flustered and can’t show me and goes back to saying “what’s wrong with you. You can’t do that” I’ve read other reviews before writing this just to make sure I’m not the only person and it appears that other members having issues with Hugo seems to be a trend. Must be the little man syndrome.

Love the old school vibe and atmosphere. The owner is a great guy. First workout there today was great. When I'm in Manteca, this will definitely be the gym I go to.
