Comment: There are joggers that still broken after many months, no AC. Seems like a club going through some issues with maintenance and regular repairs.

Comment: ABC has been a great location to have in Santa Clara and the gym equipment is mostly functional. Recently as of the beginning of 2024, some of the maintenance seems to be lacking, the bathrooms tend to be dirty with no paper supplies, and the water drinkers seem to be “broken”.I would highly suggest having 2 water drinkers of the same modern kind.

Comment: At the first glance this gym seemed to be bad for me because it does not look like a new gym. After some days working out there I figured that it was an amazing gym with many equipments that I haven’t seen before and a great quantity for each. All of them are working well. Also, the gym is not crowded at all.The only thing that can be improved are the gym mats, but I’ll still leave a 5 star.

Comment: One of their worst locations. They have a lot of equipment but some of their staff really needs to be retrained because clearly they have no idea how to maintain a clean gym.Especially the black guy who works here. I dont know what his issue is with certain races, but to only pick on some people (asians) for things that should be HIS JOB, is unacceptable. I cleaned and wiped down my equipment after finishing my sets and he pulled me aside and told me he could have me kicked out if I didnt wipe down my equipment after every workout. I noticed a theme with the other people he pulled aside as well.Any ways, I have been going to their campbell location and it is great. Less equipment but a much safer place. Shame, since I really liked these gyms.

Comment: The employees were very welcoming and helpful during my initial trial period. The location is close to home and I can appreciate how other customers have been friendly, and supportive with assisting me during my workout sessions when needed, and visa verse. Honestly, for the sake of looking for basics in regards to equipment, cleanliness, and access, this location is just right, and I always look forward to coming out either by myself or with my friend who’s a fellow servicemember in the Army.

Comment: I really wanted to give them five star. It has been a great summer. Very motivating work out environment, gym bros are very warm hearted. Place is nice and clean and has all the equipment I wanted. However, on August 17th there was a new woman staff. The rudest I ever seen. When it is their time to close, she just kill all the lights, I was doing my last set on benching. The sudden darkness made me had no idea where to re-rack the bar. It is not only rude but also very dangerous. People complained about it, she did not seem to care. In addition, after three days of spectating, she is extremely racist! She would ask the Asians to re-rack the weight only because they are the last one on that area( they did not even use the machine) yeah, she clearly sees who was using it, and ask Asians to do the weights re-rack. My girlfriend who is also Asian wants to check out a protein shakes on 10:55pm, and I see she purposely shut off the register and claim she will not sell anything since it is past the work hour and register had been shut off. It was really really really good to work out there the whole summer. It was one of my best memories here in California during my summer internship. I would miss this place when I go back to college. However, this woman makes me feelsick. Five stars or even 10 stars for the whole experience, zero for that new woman staff.

Comment: Ive been going to Jerry McCalls gyms for 11 years now. Its always been a great experience. Low price & high value. Far greater selection of heavy weights than what is available at 24 hour fitness at a much lower price.Joining the Texodous to escape Communism in a few weeks. Gonna miss my favorite gym.

Comment: Best gym in town hands down. There si a ton of squat / dead lift racks and the way they are set up one can easily do squat and another deads so people often share. Thats the other thing the members most of the time are really good with each other about it.I only quit going because my job moved to fremont but thinking of re-applying because 24 hr fitness is the WORST

Comment: Dont even consider joining this place. Worst clientele ! Of course, there are many decent members, but the overall experience is dominated by self-centered, inconsiderate slackers reserving equipment for themselves while they go talk on the phone during peak periods, people sitting on equipment paging endlessly through facebook, and others striving for the most inconceivable ways to top the scale for bad gym etiquette.

Comment: A straightforward choice for weight training in the area. Spacious parking and wide and readily available selection of free weights were the main factors in my rating. Youll almost never find yourself looking around for the right weight.A couple minor details: there arent many safety clamps for the free weights, which made me feel a little less confident when lifting larger weights. Also, the deadlift plates are in KG. As someone who likes following a precise workout regime, this threw me off a bit. There are nice conversion charts on the wall, though.If you can get by with these issues, then its the perfect place!

Comment: This gym is formerly Golds Gym, where I have worked out since 1986. There are more free weights and exotic exercise equipment than earlier times. It is a spacious facility with mens and ladies rooms, lockers, showers etc. The staff is very friendly, as I always get to know everyones names. The gym has food items, protein, drinks; and clothing for sale.The members are ethnically diverse, both men and women. My biggest gripe is people are staring at their phones too much, which detracts from making friends. Nobody wants to work out in a vacuum. Its a clean gym, and prices are decent. I should tell you this is NOT a health spa, so dont expect massages, steam room, and a sauna. Plenty of parking.

Comment: Been a member for years (the former Golds Gym) . Lots of workout equipment for both serious bodybuilders and newbies. Has everything except a sauna, which is usually found in more expensive health clubs.Staff is fine, equipment is cleaned and dusted everyday. Some people complain about the music, but many of the people wear headphones while they work out, not to mention trolls staring at their phones. The music (mostly rock of sorts) is for background, not easy listening.

Comment: I was mostly happy with them. The racks get crowded and clips are a little hard to find but nothing too cumbersome. My major grievance with them came this month. I had a wrist injury and I have not been going to the gym for a month. My doctor said that it would take one or two more months to heal so I wanted to cancel my membership. Lo and behold my surprise when they want to charge me for the next month because there is a 30 day processing time for cancelations. I was going to rejoin after my wrist injury healed. But clearly they would rather lose a long term member instead of letting go of a one month fee.

Comment: On their website, it is mentioned that I can get a 7-day VIP pass. When I went there with a print out, the guy behind the counter (a pathetically rude ass) told me that they dont offer 7 days any more. Its only for 3 days. So I said OK. They asked me for an ID. I am a student in Canada so I told him that. He said Sorry, this pass is for residents only. Seriously? What if I am visiting for 3 months and want to join? Are you telling me that I cannot get gym membership if I am not residing in the US? How does that even make sense? I cannot believe the guy behind the counter treated me as if I was some weirdo who wanted a free pass! I simply wanted to try out the gym! Rude staff. Unclear rules on their stupid website. Never going there again. EVER.

Comment: It is a big club with many equipment and some better cardio machines that I havent found in other clubs.Crowd: During weekdays, engineers from nearby high-tech businesses and some scary looking athletic but decent people work out here that mind their own business. But on weekends, the teens and 20-somethings take over that want to make the most of their investment and are not willing to share the machines they are working on.Hygiene: Overall is well maintained and mens locker room area is acceptableConclusion: You get what you pay for. It is a good club to use on weekdays only. I will go back to Club One though.
