University of Sports

The facility isn’t anything special. It seems like they tried to fit as much stuff in the little space they had and it’s somewhat over crowded. The staff isn’t overly friendly… After adding my husband and daughter to my membership the person who helped me messed up and created a whole seperate membership for them which caused me to be overcharged for a few months. When I realized this error they would not correct it or refund me at all. Numerous phone calls were not returned to me regarding this issue and I ended up cancelling my membership simply because of the lack of professionalism I experienced with this business. I would never patronize them again. It’s a gym, I can easily find a replacement that’s nicer then this one.
Edit to original post above:
Bored tonight, I’m clicking through my past Unilocal reviews and came across this one. It is interesting to me that the facility is closed now considering my poor experience. Honestly though, it doesn’t surprise me!!!
In response to Aaron’s note, I’m curious as to how him looking a person up by their first name and last initial (for my maiden name!) led him to believe I wasn’t in their system. And janitorial service 5 days a week, considering the business is open 7 days a week proves the lack of cleanliness. It’s a gym, people sweat, there are bodily fluids, germs, and dust. Their janitorial department was definitely under staffed! And lastly, the response was a poor effort and a little too late to try to rectify the situation. I called and left messages years ago about the erroneous charges. I’m still not sure why creating a completely new membership and being over charged is warranted in this situation. Oh well, looks like they were the ones that lost in the long run, not me.
RIP U of Sports

This place closed March 2013 and all the equipment has been removed.

This facility is the BEST!!!
This is not just a gym, this is a health club! I have been a member since the begining. I have been going to health clubs for 22 years now looking for a fitness home and now I can honestly say I have found it! This is a large facility with all of the equipment I like and need. The classes and instructors are «1^st class»!! I have my favorite, you should come and experience it for yourself and find your favorites!

Their spa is very relaxing! The spa is open to the public, and they offer massage, facials, nails and hair. Beautiful large jacuzzi with a water fall. I recieved a massage from Wendy and she was very proffessional. She gives a great deep tissue massage.

What a great experience! My daughter gets to go to fun classes while I go to my class or work out around the gym. So far everything about the gym has been family friendly and fun.

TOTALLY UN-​ETHICAL. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM!!!
I WISH I COULD GIVE A MINUS 5 STAR RATING.
It sounded like such a good deal. They would waive the $ 200.00 sign up fee plus the $ 99.00 processing fee but I needed to sign up for automatic withdrawal. Unfortunately, I hurt my back 2 months after I joined and have been unable to use the facilities. I tried to cancel membership by calling and was told to email their contract administrator. I did email her in late February cancelling my membership. I never got a reply & the payment for March was taken out of my checking account. Long story short, I have written 3 emails demanding they no longer withdraw money from my bank. They have continued to take money out of my account every month for a total of $ 356.00. I thought about just closing my checking account but I have all my bills automatically deducted and it would have been a pain to re-​do all of my accounts. I wish I had done that now.

Great gym with an indoor nike turf soccer field. The facilities were really nice when I was a member, had some good times here.

UPDATE 6÷17÷10
OK So I’ve been a member up until recently when I moved and joined ClubOne in Petaluma.
The quality of UofS has dropped dramatically since I’ve joined, initially it was very clean, the equipment and facility was always kept tidy. There has been a steady decline since then, equipment is often broken, and the facility, esp the locker rooms are pretty filthy.
I also had my locker broken into (it was locked w/​a pad lock but someone broke the locker door) and my ipod was stolen along w/​some cash. I can’t exactly fault the gym for this, but there was little done when I reported it, almost as if these things happen all the time.
The gym is very crowded now, they hold league soccer games and the players family and children are running wild through out the gym.
The worst part is when I canceled, I was told that even though my billing cycle is the 20^th and I gave notice on the 16^th, their policy is they will cancel your membership on the LAST day of the FOLLOWING month you give notice. So even if I gave notice the first day of the month I would still be charged two full months from giving notice.
Join ClubOne, they facility is waaay cleaner and modern, and more spacious. They set a cap on their membership so the gym is never crowded, it’s cost a little more but it’s well worth it.

University of Sports is a two-​story gym with a huge indoor soccer field, basketball courts, and several weight rooms with cardio machines scattered about. I really like the atmosphere in here– it’s never too crowded, staff isn’t rude and actually smiles when you come in and asks how you’re enjoying the gym (I have a trial membership), the entire place is very clean and roomy, and members are polite enough to consistently wipe down their machines.
There is a nice section of cardio machines on the upper floor that faces the soccer field– so usually I work out up there and pretend I’m at the World Cup. The teams that play in the evenings make my workouts go by nicely :)
