Just Lift

“Worst place to workout. Horrible parking and homeless everywhere. Be wary of contracts as owner likes to send to collection agencies if not paid in full.”

“Best place to work out 💪🏋️‍♀️ #fitness #gym #health”

“This gym is great in every aspect. The owner Rudy and his family are all nice people and will always greet you with a smile. I’ve been a member since 2017. All the machines work, everything is clean, and locker room is always clean. The gym is full of great vibes and 9 times out of 10 you’ll find members who are willing to teach you new things and proper form. Why try out any other gym , when this is the golden gym of Central Valley 👍🏽”

“Unclean and disorganized to the point you will spend half your workout looking for weights. They invest in new ideas constantly and dont focus on quality. Staff is eh, one guy who actualy does work, greets you, and changes out the towels to wipe down equipment, other than him no one else does it. It has a good choice of old equipment that feels on the verge of breaking, Old plates, lockers are unclean and the sauna im sure isnt cleaned at all. Staff does bare min to maitain gym. My advice, look elsewhere. PLANT FITNESS IS BETTER QUALITY. DO NOT SIGN HERE.”

“I used to enjoy this gym. For the most part, it is a solid gym. It has everything you need - or atleast everything I needed, personally. I was a gym regular, attending 4-5 days a week. I went in, worked out, spoke to no one, bothered no one, and left. Then near the end of COVID things got a difficult for me. I lost my financial stability due to personal matter and health issues I was facing. I failed to make my payment for three months. I owed like $350. Even if you're on a month-to-month contract, they still continue charge you monthly after you fail to make the first payment. When I was beginning to recover, I called their billings to ask how much I needed to pay to return the gym. Since I was a regular and had been for a whole year, she reduced the price by like $100, to help me get into the gym. I paid what we agreed on, but then one day I went to gym with two friends. My friends paid their visitors fees. When I scanned in, they stopped me, saying I hadn't paid my fees and refused to let me in. I was calmed at first, trying to explain to them that I had paid their fees. They told me they had no record of my payment and demanded that I show proof of my payment. I have a bad tendency to either throw away receipts or not request them. I see them as a waste of paper, not eco-friendly. I request email receipts when I can to save paper, save the trees... Lame. I know. I love trees. I tried being reasonable, and I tried controlling my frustration; but the more they refused me, the angrier I grew. Especially since the owner was patronizing. I pissed me off to hear him say things like, "How much do you "think" you paid?" When do "think" do made this payment?" He was talking down to me. In my anger I left, to try to find a stupid receipt and cool off. I was going to leave, then I remembered my friend where still inside waiting for me and they had already paid their entrance. I went back in and asked if I could atleast pay for the day and cancel my account. The owner refused to let me and said I had to "pay my fee" to cancel my account. I erupted in anger. It was only when I started cursing and raising my voice that they decided to call their billings department... where my payment suddenly appeared. What a f***ing surprise! Why couldn't they have done that from the beginning? They apologized, felt ashamed. They gave me a towel as sign of repentance. I gave the towel to my friend. I didn't want such a pitiful gift of shame. I tried to seeing eye to eye with the owner, talking things over with him, but the whole experience just left a bad taste. After that I fell sick again. I contracted a nasty pulmonary infection that had me bedridden for two months. It took me 5 months to fully recover from the infection. 5 months without work. I once again failed to pay my fees. At this point, it has been a year. I imagine I owe them a decent amount of money. A part of me wants to pay the fees, return to the gym, but the other part of me doesn't understand why I should. I am not completed irrational. I understand my sickness and financial burdens are not their responsibility, but their lack of care and respect for their customers is very off putting. I am responsible for failing to pay my fees, but they are responsible for the complete disregard they have towards their customers.”
