Cisco LifeConnections Fitness Center

The fitness centre is very well equipped with the latest workout machines. The treadmills are internet enabled with monitors on which you can watch YouTube videos, vevo, read the news, watch cable tv.
What I didn’t like was that I had to wait to get workout machines every time I tried to use them. After 5pm, the place becomes crammed with too many people.
And when it comes to fitness equipment, 24 hour has a lot more types with numbers even if it is not the latest latest.
Besides that the centre provides sauna, towel service, lockers with key press locks but no swimming pool
The place is clean. But too crowded for me
The price is 20 dollars per month if you are a full time employee of cisco and 30 dollars a month for contractors. The price includes tax.
It is open half day on Saturdays and closed on Sundays

Sayonara 24 Hour «Super» sport! HelloOoo CISCO Fitness Center!
I fell in love with this gym the minute I stepped in, and literally cancelled my membership with 24 hour the second I stepped out. I’ve been raving about this place to my friends and family, and would love to take them here, but unfortunately it’s only for CISCO employees & contractors.
$ 15/​month gives you access to these AMAZING features:
*The BEST locker room — the women’s locker room has everything you need and more: super clean showers, dressing rooms!, digi-​lockers, a clean & spacious sauna and steam room, plenty of bathroom stalls, and a beautiful vanity area that provides free toiletries (cotton-​swabs, makeup remover, nail filers, dental floss, lotion) & hairdryers!
*Towels — clean towels are located everywhere: In the locker room, in the cardio room, weight room, next to the fitness classes (that are on the 2^nd floor)…everywhere!
*The lastest/​newest machines — I love their cardio machines (elliptical, treadmill, stair master). They have touchscreens where you can watch TV, YouTube, check your email, Pinterest, and other apps. You can also virtually «run» across the Golden Gate Bridge or Pier 39, and it looks and feels so real.
*Free classes — Yoga, Zumba, HITT, Power Cycling, and Cardio Kickboxing are just a few to name… but my favorite thus far has been the «Bombay Jam» class with Ella! She is so much fun and keeps you energized & motivated throughout the workout with her infectious smile and energy. :)
*Basketball Court — that is also used to play badminton or volleyball
*Water Dispenser Machines — these are so convenient. I never have to worry about purchasing bottles of water because these machines can be found throughout the gym. All I have to do is bring my reusable water bottle, and I’m good.
The only minor complaints I have is that: 1.) They don’t have a swimming pool & 2.) They’re not open 24 hours and are closed on Sundays. Other than that, I absolutely love this gym. It’s the nicest and cleanest gym I’ve been to (I cannot emphasize enough how CLEAN it is!), and I feel really lucky of having the privilege to work out here!
PS, the pictures posted are definitely outdated. It doesn’t do this gym justice at all! I’ll try to update with photos when I can!

Missing a swimming pool. Staff is nice. Equipment is good.
Got a personal trainer. Very supportive.

Fabulous and classy centre. Facilities are great, locker and shower is impeccable. Classes are high quality.

This fitness center is one of the best I have ever seen in my life. I have never been in a situation where I had to wait to start using an equipment. Plus the equipments are top notch. I have never seen treadmills with touch screens and youtube/​gmail and other apps on it and I find it very helpful.

So when I moved to San Jose from Houston and started working in Cisco, I joined this gym.
* It’s $ 30 per month for Contractors
* I did 20 for 20 in Feb-​2015 and I got a free massage as reward
* Plus a few free reusable water bottles coz I mostly forget to carry water bottles
* I mostly do classes
* Yoga class in all days are just awesome and worth a lot. All instructors are very proficient. Especially Tim and Dimple on Thursdays and Christian on Saturdays.
* I also do Cardio Kickboxing and Suzeanne instructs that class. She is one of the finest instructors this gym has.
* The steam and sauna rooms are really but mostly crowded in evenings.
* Most facilitators are very helpful so is the staff at front desk.

This gym is equipped with all good equipments for cardio, weights. has group yoga classes.
also they provide complimentary smart path for acheiving goals related to fitness.
The gym is very conviniently located on the first and tasman intersection.
membership is also not so expensive and is worth every dollar for the facilities provided.

Awesome gym! Bring your Cisco badge, $ 5 and a water bottle. My gym of choice when traveling to SJC campus. The only downside is no restaurant onsite. The gym opens at 530 and is never packed at that time.

If you work at Cisco, this gym is something you should pay for. Free towels, fresh water, clean bathrooms, self-​locking lockers, and hair-​dyers for you to use. It’s close to work, and by 6pm it starts to die down. By 7:45, most machines are open.
Everyone keeps to themselves and respects each other. You might think its weird to work out in front of other employees, but it doubles as a safety, makes everyone be on their best behavior since no one wants to look stupid in case their coworkers or boss is around.
I really like this place, I feel really comfortable here.

This is gym is awesome. they open at 0530 and that is when i go. it’s empty, it’s fun, and i love it. i don’t get out on time and i don’t want to sit in traffic since i commute an hour to and from here — i am so happy this is around, and you cannot beat the price!
love love love it.
if i had to be nitpicky, i would wish they opened at 5 and had a pool… but that is nothing worth taking a star off of…
it’s clean, the equipment is in great condition and it’s everything i need :)

Great gym located in Building Q, which is also the same building for CCLC (Cisco Preschool Center), Walgreens Pharmacy, The Green Bar, Cisco clothing shop, and more.
This fitness center is available only to Cisco employees, contractors, and CCLC employees. As a CCLC employee, I also have access for the monthly payment of only $ 15/​month. $ 20/​month for Cisco employees, $ 30/​month for consultants, $ 10/​month classes, $ 1/​per class.
When you walk in, you are greeted every time by the friendly staff that is always happy to assist in any way (getting more information about the gym, tours, lost items, etc). There are many different types of cardio equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, stairmasters, adaptive motion trainers, rowing machines, and more). There are also classes in the upper floor and a basketball court located on the bottom floor. I see them playing badminton and other sports as well in the basketball court! Additionally, there is towel service and shower rooms available.
In the girls locker room, there are lockers that have digital locks on them (no need to bring your own lock), blowdryers, and private changing stalls. They also have free tampons and pads in stock. In the back, there are also steam and sauna rooms available. Soap is provided in all shower stalls.
If you bring your own water bottle, you could feel free to refill your bottle anytime by the locker rooms. Additionally, all their cardio machines have TV’s on them! I love watching the Food Network, TLC, and the Travel Channel. Make sure to bring your own headphones though!
The only downside is that it doesn’t have a swimming pool. Overall, this place is great for the price!

Friendly staff, extremely clean facility, modern equipment and good operating hours. Gym gets very busy during lunch hours and immediately after business hours, but during off peak times machines are usually available.

The Fitness Center is a great addition to being part of Cisco. The gym has two floors, with dance studios, smaller work-​out areas, and training centers on the second floor, and a full set of weights, cardio equipment, and a basketball court on the first floor.
The machines are nifty and the latest in exercise gear. There are even machines that help keep track of your reps and make sure you have smooth motions.
Overall, the gym is well-​maintained and there are enough machines to keep yourself occupied. The technology and modernity of the gym make it an excellent place to work out and get the best out of your employment at Cisco.

Good gym if you’re looking to get a post-​work workout. It’s very spacious, has a variety of very modern machines, and a good free weight section. 2 squat racks, 2 power cages, 2 smith machines. Plenty of cardio equipment, never have to wait. Treadmills, ellipticals, stationary regular/​recumbent bikes, rowers, stairmasters, some weird arm rotating machine, some other machine where you go side to side. There’s classes too at I believe an additional cost, but I’ve never taken them. There’s a calisthenic area with mats, exercise balls and foam rollers. And the price is unbeatable, $ 20 right from your paycheck.
The only downsides are sometimes it’s really busy and people will just be hogging a machine and not even doing the exercise right. Also the hours kind of suck. They close at 9PM M-​R, 8PM on Friday, closed Sunday and are only open 8AM-​12PM on Saturday. Who’s even awake then? (I’m not) As I’m guessing the staff are Cisco employees as well, they are closed on company holidays. So much for working off those extra holiday calories with all the free time you’ll have.
Those are very minor things though, and overall this is a very solid gym and good bang-​for-​your-​buck.

Cisco Gym, hands down is THE BEST gym that I have been to!
Only Cisco employees and consultants have access to this gym — $ 20/​month for Cisco employees and $ 30/​month for Cisco consultants. An additional $ 10/​month for unlimited access to group classes or $ 1/​group class.
Here are some reasons why I love this gym:
— Ridiculously big gym
— Tons of equipments
— Shower rooms
— Towel service
— Lockers
— Clean changing rooms
— Perfectly maintained gym
— Fantastic group classes
The only downside is that it gets crowded in the evenings.

I may have finally found a gym that doesn’t turn me off from working out!
When you walk in you are greeted by a friendly receptionist. You scan your work badge and walkright on in. No need to carry your driver’s license in to a gym (and risk losing it!)
There are fresh towels stacked up for you to use. Encouraging nasty sweaty people to keep their funk to themselves and wipe down their machines.
Speaking of machines, there are TONS of machines in here! Never again will I have to stand around waiting for one to open up. And the selection is so wide, I can try something new every time if I feel like it. I noticed you can also watch TV on each individual aerobic machine. Faaancy.
They give you the ability to have this key card that you plug right in when you start working out and it tracks your progress electronically on the workouts you do. Double fancy!
This is all from my first visit so I imagine I will unearth more and more awesomeness with each time I go.
yay

I really like it here. People make you feel like family and you even have family members that you don’t like (u know the ones that hog up all the machines) wish they were open 24 hours a day. Or at least until 11 pm everyday.

Gym is for Cisco and contractors only.
I haven’t been in here too many times but this place is clean, only con is I wish I was a bit closer to it.
Great spot to play bball but you should avoid peak hours, before work, lunch, and after work. So that probably leaves the people who really don’t work to use the gym =) j/​k

I have been to a fair amount of gyms in the Bay Area and I have to admit Cisco gym is one of the best gyms if not the best. Best time to go is between 1:30 to 3:30 you’ll have the gym all to yourself, well almost.

**This gym is for Cisco employees and contractors only**
I have been to plenty of gyms up and down California, and I can honestly say that this gym is my absolute favorite.
The gym in located in building Q and is for Cisco employees only.
The gym charges $ 20 a month for unlimited entry, the fee can be automatically deducted from your paycheck.
I believe they offer a lot of classes as well for a very inexpensive price, but I’ve never taken any
They also offer private fitness lessons which I’ve never taken, but I’ve seen plenty of people take those lessons and the instructors definitely look like they know what they are doing.
Pros:
— The receptionists and staff are very friendly. They always greet you at the door, and the staff is always willing to help you with any questions you have about the gym or fitness.
— The place is HUGE. Basketball court, around 100 cardio machines, plenty of weight machines and space for free weights, 2^nd floor has plenty of rooms for classes.
— Clean and spacious locker room. Plenty of lockers for everyone, clean showers, sauna, steam room.
— Friendly gym-​goers. No one «too cool for school» or looks at you awkwardly because you’re doing curls with 15 lb weights and they’re doing it with 30 lbs.
Cons:
— It gets very busy there in the mornings 7 – 8 and afternoons 5:30−7. You have to wait for treadmills and the free weight benches.
— You can’t please everybody with the music choice, but The Fray just doesn’t do it for me when I’m jogging or benching.
— Closed half of Saturday and the whole day Sunday
Overall, this is a very nice gym for hardcore gym-​goers and first time gym-​goers and anything in between. Recommended for all Cisco employees looking for a gym.
