Cañada College Athletic Center

Cañada College Athletic Center is an excellent place for fitness and training. The gym is clean, well-organized, and equipped with quality machines for all kinds of workouts. The atmosphere is motivating, and it’s a great space for both beginners and serious fitness lovers. Truly a perfect place to stay active and healthy 💪

I was really excited to join this new gym, but after just a few visits, I’m already reconsidering my decision. The space is nice and the equipment looks great in theory, but it’s so overcrowded that actually using anything is a challenge. Even during non-peak hours, it's packed. Machines are constantly taken, there’s barely room in the weight area, and it feels like the gym sold way more memberships than it can realistically handle. For a new facility, I expected better planning and member experience. Unless they make changes to manage the crowd, like limiting memberships or adding more equipment, I don’t see how this is sustainable. They also have some weird rules and hours of operation that are definitely frustrating. By reading the other reviews, sounds like I’ll also have to hustle to cancel my membership … One more thing that honestly shocked me: there is no Wi-Fi. I’m originally from a third-world country, and even there, every gym has Wi-Fi. In 2025, it’s hard to understand why they wouldn’t add Wi-Fi. It’s a minimal cost for a commercial gym, especially a brand-new facility charging premium rates. Many people rely on Wi-Fi for workout apps, streaming workouts, music, or even just basic connectivity if cell service is weak inside the building.

Me and my parents just started at the gym and have had the most amazing experience! Rocco at the front desk gave us a tour and set us up, we really appreciated her hospitality! Although pricy, definitely recommend.

Clean and not overly crowded. Excellent equipment.

I was a member at Cañada College Athletic Center for about a year before I started medical school. The facility is impressive, clean, modern, and has all the equipment you need for a solid workout. Unfortunately, my experience with the management was extremely disappointing. The manager, an older gentleman I believe named Rich, enforced policies in an inflexible, black-and-white manner. On one occasion, I asked to work out under a family member’s active membership while I was home as a student for the holidays, and staff previously confirmed that this would be acceptable. My family member even spoke to him on the phone to clarify, yet he still refused without offering any explanation or reasonable alternative, despite knowing I had been a member before. For a gym that closes as early as 8:30 pm on weekdays and 5:30 on weekends, and still has regular blackout maintenance periods, sometimes due to power or equipment problems, the rigid approach from staff feels unnecessary and discouraging. Trying to cancel a membership was almost impossible, and staff repeatedly gave conflicting or incorrect information. No one seemed willing to take responsibility or provide real help. The facility itself is excellent, and I understand that policies need to exist, but the customer experience should not feel like dealing with a government agency. This is a gym, not the DMV. Basic flexibility and professional customer service should not be too much to ask. If you value clear communication and management that can adapt to real life circumstances, this may not be the best choice.
