I would just like to say that this has been the best gym I have ever been a member of and that I am sad to leave because of the distance between us. The staff, equipment, space and experience were unmatched. I will write a sterling review. Thank you for the Heath and wellness.

I had good expectations of this gym, but I was surprised to know that they are closing 1 hour earlier 10pm and 1 hour later at 6am. On top of that they are closing the 26th because there wasnt enough staff? It doesnt make any sense. Im really disappointed.

Forma Gym is a great gym for anybody who wants to start taking advantage of their fitness. The atmosphere is great and the staff are always friendly. You have options to work out inside or enjoy the fresh air and beautiful day in the outdoor workout space. Pricing is somewhat high ($100+) a month for membership which is a downside of this gym. However, when all other gyms were closed, Forma was operating smoothly with there outdoor area which allowed for people to continue their fitness journeys and exercise with equipment that you couldnt find anywhere else. Very grateful for that.Pros:Outdoor Workout AreaSquat Racks GaloreCleanFriendly StaffDay Use TowelsCons:PricingLimited Exercise MachinesAppointment Only as of now (3/21/21)

Forma is the best gym Ive ever used. The staff is warm and friendly, the equipment is always in good repair and the facility is clean and really nice. My trainer, Torey is the best, hes very knowledgeable, friendly and fun!

The best gym in the Bay Area. Staff is friendly, helpful and professional. The gym is very clean and they are doing a fantastic job with following the CDC guidelines during this pandemic. I dont think there is a gym in the Bay Area that can compare to this one.

My wife froze her account and it was supposed to be for 3 months. Turns out they unfroze the account after 2 months and charged my wife $120. When she tried to work it out with manager he refused to help in any way. Absolute worst manager and gym. The account is canceled and $120 is gone. Be aware of this scam!!!

I had my wallet and sunglasses stolen and the gym did nothing about it. It happened merely in 30 minutes and there were not many people that day, and they could have checked the cameras but they didnt.

I was so impressed by this gym located near my place because their staffs were so accommodating. It was my first time, so I had no idea what to do. But thankfully, one of their coaches helped and guided me along the way. He even gave me bits of advice on how to stay fit and healthy!

I really love working out in this gym. I had been a customer of them for almost a year now. I liked the place and the equipment present in this gym. The coaches were friendly. I can properly execute good routines here.

I liked my trainer, hes professional in all ways. He helped me a lot on that day since I really wanted to be sexier this year. Equipment is in good condition, people are nice to one another like in a friendly community. Highly recommended!

I just joined and I got the complimentary training session with Bernadette, and she is absolutely wonderful! I have nothing but good things to say about Forma, as they have been great and have exceeeded my overall expectations for an outdoor gym, or even an indoor gym. It might be a bit pricey but it’s worth every cent!

Review №18

Dont get me wrong its a nice gym but they need to work on the customer service. I suspended my account because of covid and because I went out to state to take care of some family matters. I set it to three months suspension but I ended up needing to suspend it longer as I dont know when Ill be back to the bay.After 3 months I needed to re-suspend my account which they said is no big deal, however they charged me $105?! I sent multiple inquires through their website about getting refunded the $105 and instead just pay the $10 monthly suspension fee. They havent gotten back to me which is frustrating. At this point I just want to cancel the membership.

FORMA has been wonderful. I attened the water arobics class and every one is always there as if were a family. When I was in the hospital they came & visited me. When my husband passed away they came with flowers and meals. We celebrate with potlucks and holidays I look forward to going to the gym.Its always good and enjoyable.

Instead of shutting down they did an amazing job moving the weights outside. What a great idea! Love this gym. Clean and well maintained. The owners clearly care about their gym.

Review №23

Ive been going to this gym since right out of college (thats over 25 years), and I could not be happier that Forma took over a few years back. They have done so much to make this place beautiful and so much more than a gym. I dont think they ever stop thinking about how to make this place better and better. The outdoor cross fit area is awesome, the pool area is great, the staff is super friendly, and overall the place is comfortable for the whole family from kids to grandpa and grandma and everyone in between.

Review №25

Been going to this gym for a couple years. I love how this place feels like a tiny community. You get to know the other regulars and have small talk and share workout tips, and the trainers will give you tips to correct your form from time to time which is highly appreciated. Everyone from the front desk staff to the custodians are always nice and courteous. (I just wish they put a little less chlorine? In the women’s spa, it gets so bubbly i can’t enjoy it..)

Review №27

I walked in the first time and instantly felt comfortable. All the trainers make sure you feel welcome as do the other members and they tell you how to modify if you have any injuries. They keep you moving and pushing you to new limits. Theyre like family. They try to build relationships with you and I love the fact that they try to get to know you.

The gym should communicate that the guest passes are no longer valid through the app or online. I woke up today at 6 am to come with my friend that wanted to introduce me to the gym only to almost get rejected and had to go back home because the “gym does not accept guest passes anymore.” Very bad first impression on the gym.

Review №34

STAY AWAY!I was a member here back since it was Ronnie Lotts. I left and came back to new management. Ugh! How tragic!The place is WAY overpriced and while the staff that greet you are friendly, theyre also totally apathetic to problems. Worse, the place is poorly managed -- never have I been a member at any gym with a pool that CLOSES ALL LANES to accommodate a handful of people doing water-aerobics, particularly when they could ALL fit into one lane with a TON of room to spare...! What, you close all the bikes if two are in use?!?If the place was crowded, I could maybe see it, but the pool was 75% to 80% empty? And the trainer was quite rude. But then, so was the manager when I complained. Supposedly, you need an app to keep up with whats going on because no one could be bothered to do what EVERY OTHER GYM does and simply have a board with class/events. At $70 a month and $90 membership, these guys charge caviar prices but deliver it on a poorly-run paper plate!STAY AWAY!

Review №37

Today after a hard workout I go to the water dispenser but there is no paper cup available. I go to the reception and ask for water. The guy behind the desk said we only have water for sale. I said I just need a paper cup and he said if you couldnt find it by the water dispenser that means that’s all for today! and i was almost passing out from the thirst.To the management: Seriously? I pay $120 per month but I dont deserve a paper cup? Do you know it is so unhealthy and in some cases dangerous to keep someone thirsty in these hot days?

I live in the UK but came to visit family and got a 14 day guest pass to use while here. The person with the membership has to come with you to sign you in but doesnt have to stay. Facilities are amazing. Gym is huge and has a large range of equipment. The outdoor area is by far the best feature with a pool and hot tub area, and a grassy section with punching bags, weights and yoga mats. Sauna, jacuzzi and showers are high quality and the whole place is kept clean and in good condition.

The gym is fantastic. Forma went into the old Active/Club One space and upgraded everything. The space feels good and more upscale. The equipment is new and not falling apart, the locker room updated and has separate showers, a sauna, steam room and hot tub. Where I think this gym shines is its outside area. The space is huge and offers a whole next level in working out plus it includes a very large multi lane pool for laps.Ive started personal training and the staff is amazing as well. If you are in the market for a new gym and/or personal training you have to give this place a shot!

Review №43

The Gym experience feels like a premium club; with steam room, sauna and heated pool. All the expected services are always available as the monthly cost does the job of thinning the crowd, so even at its busiest, it never feels crowded.The monthly membership includes a full suite of classes that feel important to utilize to get the full value out of the membership. If your needs are spartan, then youll find more affordable options nearby.

Review №46

If u r seeking a gym provides weight training and budget membership, Forma might not be the choice. The prize is higher but it worth it. The stuff is friendly and the facility are always clean. Loved the outdoor facility (pool, patio, playground). They provided a pretty diverse range of group class. Also the app and the rewards are always a plus for getting u motivated. Though I wish they could upgrade the facility (some mirrors are broken and the trade mill), so far, I enjoyed it.

Were new joiners, but it is super clean and offers great customer service. More class offerings on weekends and a family bootcamp class for parents and children would be great additions. Good value.

I recently used Club One for a swim and some training before work that I had driven into town for. The outdoor pool is really sweet and a great change from the indoor air you have to tolerate at many places. Overall the facility is clean and well-organized, if a little overcrowded (at least from 7:30 to 9:30 on a weekday). Its $20 for the day, which is about $5 too much IMHO. There is not very much room designated or available for stretching and body work type training--maybe taking out a few of the treadmills or ellipticals would be good?

Clean and well organized. Friendly and very helpful staff. Lots of machine options, personnel workouts, swimming pool, dry sauna, steam sauna, and jetted spa. Low cost compared to other facilities with far less options available.

This hasnt been my first time at this gym, but it has been my first time with Forma gym and I LOVE it. Ive worked and trained at many gyms in the past. If one gym was lacking in one area, it would make it up in another area. Forma, lacks non. The Service from everyone that works there makes me feel like family, especially Fabricio and Faro. Some say we all look like were related but were not. The way they treat me every time I come in makes me feel like we really are family.Its under new owners/management. If you are considering trying this gym out, I say do it! you will love it!

Review №53

This gym takes gyming to a whole new level. I love the outdoor workout area with punching bag, ropes, kettle bells, medicine balls, faux grass. The hot tub is a must for me, as well. Their staff, from front desk to sales to personal trainer, are pumped for you and helpful. Word of advice: while they do have massage therapists, plan ahead and book in advance. No walk-in services available.

Review №57

Went in just to get information about the gym and see how much a membership costs and was told to make an appointment and come back another time. They couldnt even give me a brochure or just tell me the monthly price. What is this, a doctors office? Cant a man just pump some iron and not have to deal with silly little sales games? Looked nice from what I could see I guess, but kind of got turned off.

CANCELLING MEMBERSHIP Today I witnessed a male manager going off on a female employee. I couldnt believe the way he was speaking to her. His yelling caused her to go into what appeared to be an anxiety attack. I overheard they were taking her to the hospital and hope she will be ok. Report has been filled with the state. I hope they follow up on the issue.

Do you want to get absolutely jacked? If you do this is the place for you. This gym has everything you need to become the freak beast youve always dreamed of. FORMA has three new Rogue power racks, a bunch of bumper plates, all new Ohio barbells, chalk, and a ton of other equipment for those who know their way around a gym. In addition most of the people there arent using this outstanding gear so odds are you wont have to wait in line or work in. If youre a half rep Harry stay at planet fitness and save your money.
