Fitness System Lodi - Lodi, California

This gym is absolutely disgusting. The smell of sweat in the sauna was so foul that I started gagging and couldn’t even use it. The entire place is filthy not a hygienic place to work out. The bathrooms are also unhygienic with poor cleanliness and upkeep.

On top of that, their shady and predatory billing practices make it even worse. You must go into the gym in person to cancel no phone or online option. Since we were traveling out of the country for an extended period before moving out of state on January 1st, I couldn’t cancel earlier as they would not allow me to do this without coming into the gym. When I went in on December 3rd to give my 30-day notice, they claimed that because I didn’t cancel by the 1st, I had to pay for both December and January forcing an extra month of payment on us.

Also, their policy is if you're late on a payment, they won’t allow you to give a 30 day notice to cancel until you're fully paid up. This means that anyone facing financial hardship is stuck paying for months they don’t want or can’t afford. This is blatant predatory behavior.

If you care about cleanliness, fair business practices, and not getting scammed, stay far away from this gym.

I really enjoyed this gym. I liked the environment and staff was friendly. So many great Nautilus equipment. 4 squat racks, 2 smith machines, 2 hack squats and tons of back equipment. My only complaint is no one reracks their weights even though there's signs everywhere to rerack. I've watched personal trainers train their clients and still no rerack their weights...

I’d give zero stars if I could I cancelled the membership twice on the app. I wasn’t charged for months all of a sudden I get charged and put in the negative and it’s clear I am not a member because the barcode doesn’t even pop up straight scam

I have been to quite a few gyms over the years. I honestly approached this gym with caution. Will there be a bunch of meatheads? Will there be enough equipment? Are the people working out going to be inconsiderate and stuck up? Well I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of equipment for all bodyparts. The people are considerate and friendly. The staff are great and most importantly my trainer Eric is awesome. I absolutely love this place. Even the monthly dues are cheaper than most gyms. All in all I have found a new home where I can workout without feeling like a loser. Can’t wait to get my son a membership. Fitness Systems is AWESOME!!!

The company practices predatory membership contracts. Tried canceling over the phone for months was told I have to come into the gym to cancel. Made the drive finally down there to cancel on May 2nd and was told I have to pay for the month of June because it was not 30 days. I don't recommend joining this scumbag gym. On top of it the few times I got to go there the basketball had a broken net for at least a month. My experience felt like this gym cares zero about its customers or having returning clients.

Reply: We live in the 21st century and you have your own app. If you wanted to not have predatory memberships you can have a secure way to cancel a membership. Instead of making someone drive out of there way to cancel there membership. Either security pass code linked to the account to cancel over the phone or log into app and cancel not hard. Also calling over the phone should of counted as notice for me to not have pay for the following month. Also not showing leniency for being one day late after I had called in over the phone 2 months previously is ridiculous.

I didnt want to post the full details of the incident but it seems like fitness systems is not being truthful. As I was super setting bench with shoulder latteral raiser, a person goes to my bench and rests his arms and elbows on the very end of the tip of the bar my bench with 205 on it! Fitness systems immature and young staff cannot comprehend how dangerous that is. the weight of his body could of swung the bar up and hit me. The unknowledgable staff cannot comprehend again, how dangerous this is. as I was very angry and any one would be. I told the guy to take his hands off the bar, he said no why, no one is using it. im like dude im super setting ive been here for 5 minutes right behind you. He then begins to get in my face and says what what are you going to do so I pushed him.. The kids who run the club saw me push the guy out of my face he was litteraly nose to nose to me as inkept telling him back up back up. It was a short man so imahine up him chest bumping me... and the kid manager just ignored all of that. Any real gym goer knows you NEVER NEVER REST YOUR ARMS AND ELBOWS ON A BENCH BAR WITH WEIGHT. DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM. IF THE OWNER KNEW IM SURE HE WOULD SAY YEAH, I NEED TO HEAR THE FULL STORY. AGAIN THE KIDS HERE DONT TRAIN THERE OR EVEN UNDERSTAND GYM SAFTEY. OLD GYM, OLD EQUIPMENT. NOT WORTH IT ANYMORE THAT IS WHY EVERYONE IS LEAVING.
Put it this way the fact the they cannot acknowledge how I could have gotten hurt by the bar flipping over is pathetic. all they care about how i moved a guy from chest bumping me but again, young kids running the gym.

I have been a member of Fitness System Lodi since they opened their doors in 2006. They are hands down the best gym in the area with all the equipment needed to achieve your fitness goals. I have done a total transformation going from 230lbs to a fit 168lbs in my fitness journey. I turned 61 years old today and feel better than I did when I was in my 30's!
The owners and the staff are amazing and make all the members feel welcome. I would recommend this gym to anyone looking to improve their health and wellbeing.
