DONT DO IT. If youre reading this and trying to decide on a gym--Not this one. There are other gyms in the area, including regular gyms and crossfit ones that are sure to treat you better and have better facilities. Ill start with the non-personal review first. -Theyre expensive. -They close incredibly early. -They will try to milk you on fees- Youre not a person here, youre a cash cow. (despite the fact that this is not a huge box corporation gym) -Their equipment is outdated and there is not nearly enough of it. -No one shows up to run their fitness classes-every time I went at least. I am a Marine combat veteran trying to train and get myself back in shape as Im applying for a few law enforcement jobs. Its not easy transitioning form the military to civilian life. Money is tight but I needed a gym to get back into shape and I was drawn to the fact that this gym was privately owned and operated. Its a small town community gym that would treat me like a friend/member of the community or so I thought. Not the case. My credit card was stolen, I received a new one on the 1st of the month. Fees are due on the 1st of the month. I called on the first and paid my dues- So I wasnt late in paying my dues..... TWO WEEKS later I was called and told I would have to pay a late fee of $40 bucks. Obviously I was upset. And as I mentioned money is tight. I told the lady (Cathy) who called everything I mentioned above about paying on time and my credit card...She didnt care. I was so upset I asked what the cancellation fees were and she literally LAUGHED at me before she told me. To sum it up, I paid my gym fees on time over the phone. But Because it was a new card they wanted me to pay $40 late fee- two weeks after the fact. Would you pay this? If you make a stink about their questionable practices they kick you out. Two hours later Cathy gleefully called me and told me my membership had been cancelled and to find another gym. Is this the kind of community gym you want to go to? This is how they treat people, not to mention veterans trying to make ends meet. This might seem embellished but its not at all- I never get nasty nor cursed at them over the phone. Take it for what its worth when youre deciding on a gym here in Oroville.

I travel the country full time and the only place with higher prices was a very high end, exclusive establishment. Massage with every visit type of place, training included, I could go on. That was 600 for the month, but worth it. This club, Almost 500 bucks for the month for my wife and I is an outdated dive with lackluster everything and bare minimum amenities. You cant charge Ferrari prices for an 83 Buick. I find it insulting. We literally laughed and walked out. That seems to be a trend. At in shape, I paid 69.99 for a diamond level resort, month to month including all other in shapes. 30% off gear and supplements. Discounted, not marked up like this sports club. Im editing this to be sure people are aware that the only good reviews are friends/ employees. The only other way u could think the place is nice, with good equipment is youre either from a third world country or youve never seen a proper gym. Google "In shape fitness" or even LA fitness, 24 hour fitness, and even most ymcas. Not even comparable. Wouldnt even let me try it out for a day. Not that I waned to once I got there and saw it. Just saying

Something witty

Very poor condition all around. I cant believe how poorly maintained this place is. The condition of the facilities here are worse than any gym Ive ever seen! Rips in the 1970s carpet throughout and slack in many of the equipment joints are just asking for a lawsuit. The membership cost is about twice as much as most sports clubs and the equipment is about twice as old. For example, the sewer backed up and covered the entire place w 6 inches of raw sewerage a few years back and they STILL have the exact same carpet in place! Dont waste your time! This place is a joke! The owners are probably slum Lords judging by how poorly taken care of everything is here. I walked in recently and cut the tour guy off and laughed when he told me the price..!

you will be kicked out if you make to loud of noise while heavy weight training. Im sorry but when you dead lifting almost 500lbs youre going to make some noise! I think the no grunting or making much noise rule is ridiculous and thats why I stopped going. also staff is rude and not helpful!

Alexandria Reynolds

Nice staff, clean facilities, and laid out well. They offer childcare along with a variety of work out classes and aquatic classes. Pool, lap pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, locker rooms, showers, plus more.

Brooks Henderson

Joined before they opened, I like it, but this the only gym I even belonged to. I hear complaints that there isnt professional advice on workouts/exercises.

Kaydee Kinser
