Xtreme Fitness Center

The staff here is very friendly and it definitely serves its purpose but that is about it.
I see it as having a lot of opportunity for growth, and I would love to see this place expand. It gets super busy towards the evening, but friday/​saturday it is pretty dead.
I would like to see it enforce the «rerack your weights» rule better, I see all the time machines that have heavy weights on them and I cannot get on them because the weight on them is too heavy for me to even re-​rack. They have enough employees that they should be able to do that.
Like I said, it get’s the job done, and if you are a student its free, so there’s that.

Have a good amount of classes the gym is small thought but they have everything you need

What kind of gym doesn’t allow paying students to work out before the start date of the quarter? I’m utterly offended!!! After investing thousands of $ into the University, i was turned away from this gym because «only students are allowed to work out». Umm, i guess a student ID and thousands of $ isn’t good enough for the administrative staff here at Xtreme Fitness. #Bureaucracy. The gym looked clean but in actuality it wasn’t. The weights have some sort of tar or sticky resin on them and it stains your shirt. So wear a black shirt that you plan on throwing away. I’m insulted the CSULA executives haven’t done anything about this place. On a positive note, the employees were nice!!!

Don’t let the name of this gym fool you… the only thing «Xtreme» about this place is its cleanliness. Aside from that, it’s your typical low-​tiered gym with nazi-​like rules that the staff actively enforces…
The cons about this place isn’t necessarily the gym, but some of its members. Members who come to chat like it’s a chatroom… I understand that people need to take breaks in between sets, but if your set involves chatting with a group for days on end, then you need to GTFO. Instead of the staff enforcing the ridiculous policy in place, they should really focus more on this issue and remind folks that it’s a gym, not a social lounge!

For me, atmosphere is everything in a gym. Every gym should foster a supportive atmosphere and Xtreme fitness brings this in spades. The second you step foot in this gym, you are greeted by a fun, helpful, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic staff made up of passionate kinesiology students doling out expert advise that would normally cost a fortune.
The enthusiasm is contagious, the gym is pristine, and there is even an infusion of fun
into the ample classes offered. Well done guys.

I still love this gym, eventhough it’s gotten even more crowded. But it’s not his fault that he is irresistable… err…
Updated to reflect restroom cleanliness and the new (pay for) water machine (because campus water fountain water is disgusting).
Still incredibly well-​managed. Still really friendly staff. Still awesome.
Even more classes are going to be included in their already huge repertoire. I have a week free at L.A. Fitness and didn’t even use it because it will never compare to the XFC. I will miss you when I graduate =*(

It is located in the student union in the basement floor. Small, but has every type of equipment/​machines you may need for weights and cardio! Very convenient if you are in and out of class. It gets very crowded since it is more known to the campus now. In the locker rooms, there are a good number of lockers (bring your own lock) and showers. If you need any assistance dont hesistate to ask the staff! They know what they’re doing, most of the time ;) Oh and DON’T FORGET YOUR TOWEL!

This gym is much more crowded now compared to back in the day, when we had to check in with xtreme fitness ID cards and they would manually retrieve when we were checking out. There are too many students now and the gym is not getting any bigger. It was a small gym to begin with. Check-​in is fingerprint now.
Gym is basically crowded at all hours. Lesser crowd on Fridays and Saturdays, and on midterm/​finals week.
Notes:

–vending machines are near the entrance

–free weights are usually in their place! :)

–3 lat pulldowns
–1 assisted pullup/​dip
–2 squat racks, 1 smith

The staff is really friendly the class I usually get is the Work-​it Circut. on Tues/​Thur I love it. The gym is clean and neat which is a plus.

Refreshingly clean, bright, organized, and NEVER CROWDED! The space isn’t huge, but it’s big enough to accommodate a number of cardio and circuit machines, as well as some free weights, stretching mats, etc. The rules are that you have to wear gym attire and no bags on the floor, so you’ll need to bring your own lock to put your books and school clothes away in the locker rooms while you’re there.
What else? The place is awesome, it’s free for students, they play decent music, and have TVs. They offer yoga, martial arts, aerobics, pilates, spin, boot camp, and other classes in the studio (you have to go in to get a schedule of the classes each quarter). Personally, I dig the classes, and I go to them as often as possible because they are usually smaller than classes at 24hour, so you can get a more personalized and thorough work-​out from well qualified instructors. I hear Zumba is coming winter quarter!
Since I have to be at school from 9 – 6 and 11 – 9 every day, this is the best way for me to keep up on my fitness. I pretty much ALWAYS have my gym bag in the car so I can break away from studying at the library and review my notes on the eliptical.
It’s located in the basement of the University Student Union. (U-​SU room B102)
