Club Oracle

I’m really annoyed with this gym. Their sauna SUCKS.
I only joined Club Oracle because I heard they had a sauna. I was so excited to find a local gym that with a sauna. Well, Club Oracle doesn’t trust it’s members, because they rigged their sauna under the guise of safety so is completely prevented to go above 108 degrees! That is basically just a mildly warm room. It barely heats you up at all. Totally lame sauna experience.
What is the point of a sauna if it doesn’t even get hot enough to relax your muscles? Real saunas are supposed to go up to around 150 to 240 Fahrenheit. Yes you don’t stay in too long and yes make sure to drink a lot of water, but those temps are perfectly safe.
I complained about this at the front desk and that they locked out the max temperature for safety so people don’t hurt themselves. Because they were worried people would get too hot, stay in too long or pass out and try to sue the gym.
It’s very disappointing that Club Oracle doesn’t trust that grown ups know how to to properly utilize a sauna and let it get hot enough to actually enjoy the effects. It’s too bad morons ruined the sauna for everyone.
They also have a steam room but that as well doesn’t get hot enough to actually enjoy. It’s really too bad because otherwise this would be the perfect gym!
TL/​DR: Neutered sauna is disappointing & not enjoyable.

They keep the equipment working and keep the gym clean.

An amazing facility. Lots of free programs too! I just signed up for an interval training class :)

I like this gym a lot! I’ve seen other corporate gyms and this one is pretty good. Clean and new equipment. No random weights lying around. It does tend to get crowded around 4:30−7 after work. Weekends is totally empty. I suggest coming on the weekends if you’re closeby. Swimming pool outdoors with 5 lanes as well as a sand volleyball court. Basketball court indoors.
Lockeroom is clean. Sauna and steamroom with showers that include shampoo, conditioner and bodywash. Theres also deodorant, hairspray, lotion, etc. Clean towels too!

My 2^nd home! The staff are so friendly and helpful and motivating! The facilities clean. The gyms and classes awesome. The only thing that can make it perfect 5 stars is when they replace the old sand court net and lines.

A very impressive and well kept gym. There isn’t much i can say about it other than to mention its pretty quiet for the most part. The pool is usually the part the has the most people at it. Ducks tend to swim in it at times or poop in water but I’m not really bothered by that.

I don’t work at HQ, I work in the Broomfield office. I always workout when I travel and my hotel didn’t have very much equipment. I decided that I should just workout at work in the bay like I do in Colorado. I was impressed. What an amazing gym! THe attendants were so helpful. They actually give you a towel to use. In Broomfield, we have to pay $ 1 a day for a towel. I am rehabbing after foot surgery so I couldn’t walk up the stairs, so one of the guys escorted me to the elevator. The locker room was HUGE! I was given a locker that fit my rolling luggage! They have every machine, weight set, class, basketball court, and an amazing swimming pool! I used a recumbent bike that was in front of a glass window overlooking the pool. The mountain view was so great to see while working out. I come from Colorado & in my gym I cannot see the mountains. I have to come to California for that? So much natural light! There were so many people in the gym, and there were women there too! I am usually the only woman in the gym. It is very clean, they have all the toiletries you would need in the locker room. I love this place and I cannot wait to go back.

The gym itself is great. My complaint lies with the patrons. I understand that there are stinky individuals at every gym, HOWEVER, in my decade of lifting weights, I’ve never experienced such a repetitive assault on my nostrils.
Please be considerate. Shower and apply deodorant before working out!

I love this place! So glad that it’s my new home for workouts and sports. I love the floor plan — open and airy with lots of equipment. The showers/​locker rooms/​bathrooms are extremely clean and there’s always someone around to help you out. I can’t picture myself at any other fitness center. This place is the SPOT for any fitness/​athletic fanatic.

This is a good gym for people who work near Oracle and at Oracle. I enjoy working out, and using locker rooms to get myself ready for work. Lot of natural light and good equipment. Big minus is that they do not have right classes i.e. fun cardio classes. The WIFI at gym is not availalbe, so cell reception sucks, but that is probably a good reason for us not to use cellphones ;-) ;-)

Started coming here 10+ years ago, when I would sporadically come into town for work. Would run on the trail behind Oracle, then hit the gym for a shower.
Now that I’ve moved here, I run at home, but a recent injury has me using the gym again several days a week. It’s clean, it’s convenient, and the locker room is well stocked with basic toiletries (body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, etc) and towels. Plenty of equipment, large facility with lots of natural light (including outdoor pool and sand pit for voleyball), and it’s never insanely crowded like other gyms.
As other reviewers have mentioned, this is a huge perk as an Oracle employee.

If you work at Oracle HQ and you do not frequent Club Oracle, you are missing out on one of the best things about working here.
For example: let us say you are a volleyball player…
Once you play volleyball at the Oracle gym, it is really really hard to play anywhere else. The court is huge with 45 ft. high ceilings, lots of ambient lighting and great sight lines (red walls, natural colored hardwood floors). The floor is refinished every year and swept constantly. The only drawback to volleyball here is that as the population at Oracle ages, the number of volleyball players continues to drop.
If you aren’t a volleyball player, reading the other reviews should convince you just how the staff, the classes, the awesome machines, the wonderful running trails just behind the gym, towel service, the 25 yard swimming pool, and the sand volleyball court, all combine to make this one of the best corporate gyms around.

Well the gym is free to me, so can’t beat that. Nice pool. Love Tina Marie’s step classes on Tuesday and Saturday, they are easy to follow and a great workout.

Great staff and set of classes !!! Elaine Minton who got me into running by encouraging weekend runs and offering training support and advice outside of her normal schedule is my favorite trainer — great spin classes — and if she ever sets up a bike ride on weekends it’s not to be missed !
Tony, Garret, Travis, Alicia, Bob round out the rest of the staff who have kept everyone there in good spirits over the years.
Karen’s yoga classes are not to be missed and Victoria’s and Lisa’s workout classes round out the excellent schedule.

I have been going to Club Oracle for years. Its a great location for me (live few miles from it) and it has all the facilities that I need, and price is great.
One of my favorites at Club Oracle is Elaine!
Elaine Minton has been the best trainer that I have come across, I have taken several of her bootcamp style classes and spinning classes and have to say that she can make you sweat (and cry sometimes) and at the same time be a great motivator to make you work harder. She is one of the only few trainers that I have worked with who gets you in shape and inspires you to come back for more. Good Job Elaine, one of these days have to sign up for more and hopefully will be able to train for an Ironman soon.

I love Oracle gym! It has become my second home. Eight years ago I started going to Elaine’s classes and she changed my life forever. She helped me not only become an active and healthy person, but also introduced me to running. I still remember how we trained together for my first big race — Nike Half Marathon 2005.
My definition of a great class is a great instructor + great content + good music. Any class taught by Elaine or Lisa exceed my expectations and fit my definition perfectly. My favorite classes are Elaine’s spin class and the evening bootcamp with Lisa

I want to preface this review by saying that I am not a member of this gym. This review is based on my Mom Maya’s experience.
My mom worked at a super ritzy gym (Sports Club LA/​SF) for over 10 years and has never gotten into the habit of working out. I forced her to try several classes but none of them were to her liking.
About a year ago, she became a member of Club Oracle and met Tina Marie. Now, my mom cant stop talking about how great the free gym classes are! I have never seen my mom so motivated and excited about going to the gym. Thank you Tina Marie!

I would like to send out BIG kudo’s to Alecia AND Vince for such great programs, enthusiasm, and support this year.
Alecia, thank you for putting together such a great Biggest Loser’s program, having awesome communication (s), and for motivating the teams.
Vince, What energy! If I could have only 10% of that :) PLEASE bring back the pulse weights class — that was off the hook, and the workout was insane.
Cheers,
Bill Atkins

Best — Gym — Ever!
Any machine you can think of, never have to wait. Amazing classes — my favorites are Michele’s advanced step aerobics and the karate class. I can speak for the women’s locker room, everything you could possibly need!
If you work at Oracle, then why are you wasting your time on Unilocal?Go to the gym now — go!
And if you don’t work at Oracle you can either:
— Get a job there
or
— Make friends with a nice Oracle employee who will sponsor you

This is a company gym for Oracle employees only, but guests are allowed if he/​she can get sponsorship from an Oracle employee. In fact, I know quite a few people who are non-​Oracle employees that use this gym as their regular gym because they were able to receive sponsorship.
This place has several complete sets of free weights and machines, as well as a lot of cardio equipment (treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes). It basically has every workout equipment you most likely need. There is also a dance studio, a game room, and a basketball court (which can also be used for volleyball and badminton). There’s an outdoor swimming pool that is heated, and a sand lot used for playing beach volleyball.
In the men’s locker room there’s a dry sauna and a steam sauna! I love the saunas, and I try to use it as much as possible. I can’t speak for the women’s locker room, but I’m sure there’s a sauna in there too.
Overall, this is a very nice company gym, and an excellent place to get a complete workout.
