California Family Fitness

I like it! No it’s not fancy. I belonged to Equinox in SF before we moved here. Now that’s fancy. But what I LOVE is the small neighborhood feel. People don’t put on makeup to come to the gym– no weird pick up vibes. The kids club feels so safe– and I will hardly leave my kid with anyone. It never feels crowded. I wish the hot tub was like 5 degrees hotter but hey, not the end of the world.

I used to come here when it was the Riverside Athletic club. Upon learning that CalFit has taken over this location, I decided to come and check it out to see what’s changed. To me, nothing about this place has changed. The only thing that’s different is the CalFit sign. Literally, everything that I remembered them to be are still where they are at now. It’s not the biggest of the CalFit gyms, but hey, it has kept that neighborhood gym vibe which I dig. Towel service remains just as it did with the Riverside Athletic Club. Also, the two racquetball courts remains, which gives it an advantage over the other nearby CalFit’s (Florin). There is also a basketball court (if I remember correctly it’s only a half court size) tucked in the back of the gym. There is also an upstairs area where most of the other cardio and a few machine are located. Speaking of cardio machines, the one thing negative I would say about this gym is that I feel as if though there just isn’t enough cardio machines, namely treadmills.
While this gym can definitely use an update all across the board, it won’t keep me from coming back; it does what it needs to and that’s to give members a place to workout. I don’t need a swanky place to break a sweat.

This gym is very old and outdated but I love it because even during the busiest times it is never crowded and everyone is super nice!

gym is small but has everything you need. not crowded. definitely not the greatest gym in the world but not the worst but not that good either.
staff is very friendly and as helpful as they can be.
They have a rewards program where u get points each time you go to the gym. earn enough points and you get stuff. sounds awesome huh? well… i have tried to redeem points over there twice and twice i could not because the manager was not there and he is the only one who can give stuff out. I’m starting to think they don’t want me to redeem my points… i’ll try again tomorrow. hopefully i’ll have a brand new mizu stainless steel water bottle… or get denied again.
Update: I got a water bottle

Had a AWESOME first session with personal trainer Abby!!! I defiantly suggest you check out this location and schedule a session with her. This was my first experience in a very long time back in gym. My husband and I had a double session with her and she was great at customizing a workout for our very different levels of fitness We walked out with so much information and feel better educated. We will defiantly be seeing her again!

Very nice set up!!! Awesome to bring my daughter she can play basketball and on the jungle gym!!! Never packed and super clean. only down fall is i think you guys should have towel service for the price other than that awesome

Love the new Gym! Friendly Staff! they maintain the pool well, Always a great work out and convenient and easy to get to.

Stay away from Cal Fit, I’ve dealt with some bad gym management and contracts in the past, but these people are by far the worst. They intentionally don’t disclose fees (they have a yearly service charge on top of your monthly rate which is already pretty high) and try to gloss over terms of your contract. To make matters worse, once you do have a valid reason to cancel your contract by there terms (you know like moving for a new job) they make it as difficult as possible to complete the process. Stay away from this company, go to 24 hour fitness, there contracts may suck too, but at least they are more upfront about it.
As another review stated: Anyone signing a contract here REALLY needs to read it. For $ 60 a month they will also charge you an additional $ 250 early severance fee. Slightly unconscionable in my opinion

My family has been debating which gym we should join. We heard good things about this facility but when we went there to ask about the membership, they were very rude and not helpful at all. I even made an appointment with membership consultant but he wasn’t there. Even though it was their error and we wasted our time for driving there, they told us to pay $ 10 if we wanted to use the facility for the day instead of giving us the guest pass. We had to go back the next day to get the guest pass. We’ll try for a week and decide if it’s worth it or we’ll go somewhere else.

I was in the area today so I stopped by this little location in the pocket. They had lots of the common equipment, the gym does not appear as big as a some of the other gyms, but I did not even go upstairs. The girl up front told me that most of the cardio equipment was upstairs. I like the gyms that have the towels up front, for example I new there was a gym in the area I was going to work today, but I forgot my gym bag.

If you are like me and don’t like to work out in public this place is perfect. Not only is it small and low key, easy access to South Land Park locations and easy to find, the folks there are really good about not bugging you, not interrupting you and allowing you to just do what it is you came to do; swim, stretch, lift… whatever. The best part is that I don’t feel like it has the meat-​market mentality so many other gyms seem to have from their written reputations. Since I haven’t been to those other gyms in person I don’t know if this is an invalid assumption from what I have read about them online. I do know that this Greenhaven Calfit location the folks are friendly, hospitable and in general make you feel like one of their family members… which is a good feeling if you are at all insecure about working out in public.
The best part is the heated pool!

I was so excited when I learned that a Cal Fit was being built near me. Every time I come here the staff is extremely friendly. My only issue is that everything is pretty old. However, I know that they just opened and they are doing a ton of remoldeling. I am confident that this place will be a top of the line gym within the next year.

Had a absolutely horrible experience I was bringing my son to childcare he has never been away from me so he was having a really difficult time and cried so I would get called to get him after 15 minutes which I am totally fine with I was just going to keep trying until he liked it well that came to a sudden stop when management told me my son was to much of a disturbance to the club and that I would have to stop bringing him im am extremely pissed off at how he handle it and im very hurt I will never go back ever!

Most of the people working here are great. They just finished renovating the locker rooms, good job it was much needed. This gym offers classes, cardio and strength equipment, pool and racquet ball. Years ago they used to have tennis courts. I kind’a wish they’d bring them back.

Staff is wonderful and the gym is NOT crowded and in a perfect spot for anyone who lives in Greenhaven. I hope they update their equipment, but will do with what they have… I’m happy they opened up a CalFit close by! Finally!!! :)
