Monterey Sports Center - Monterey, California

I used this gym for a few days while I was at a conference. It is a pretty comprehensive gym with plenty of free weights and machines.

The day pass is a bit expensive which was the only option for me unfortunately but all else was good. Price point of $10 would be so much appreciated from a traveler’s perspective.

Amazing place and people. We are road tripping and just needed a quick hot shower. This place has clean and hot showers even for folks who aren't members. We paid $16/pp to use the amenities. We could have also used the gym and pool with out $16 but we just need hot showers. Highly recommend.

Top quality equipment in a spacious and clean facility with exceptional and helpful staff.

Been very impressed and pleased with the Monterey Sports Center. Staff makes or breaks a gym and the staff here is friendly and ensures rules are followed so one feels safe.

The facility is very spacious with plenty of room between equipment. Wide halls allow for users to spread out and use the spaces away from others.

The pool is very popular as it never ever gets warm here on the Monterey Peninsula. Two indoor pools - one with therapy temps of 92 and a larger lap pool. An adjacent sun deck is also a great place to take in the ocassional sun. Plenty of chairs with larger planters to provide privacy. The sun deck is situated to minimize the wind and maximize the sun.

The gym is huge. The exercise equipment is up to date and the spaces clean.

Bathrooms and showers have lockers so bring your own combo lock.

Walkup tours are provided and membership prices are right in line with regional offerings.

Excellent equipment. All are clean and the staffs are courteous. The only downside here is that they open too late and closes too early for my schedule and liking.

I signed up recently and was very happy to find an entire family membership is more affordable than other gyms at two adult memberships. I was also very pleased with the staff service. Patient, kind, and very helpful! I’ve enjoyed many other gyms in the area but this one is my favorite so far, and their membership comes with access to a lot of other amenities! Many gyms locally charge you the same or more, for fewer family members and are significantly smaller or lacking in variety. In all the right ways, MSC reminds me of a YMCA, and a really well maintained one at that.

The equipment is good, all the way around with a lot of variety, more than you will find at most local gyms. They are also replacing a lot of equipment with brand new equipment in January 2024 and updating the weight room. Personally, I’m excited to see the changes! I’m also grateful for the quality and variety of things to do there, especially with my family.

I’d love to see more cleaning stations strategically placed to help encourage people to wipe down equipment but also make it easier for members to do so. I have seen nothing but cleanliness and am encouraged by all the people wiping down equipment after use! I do, however, feel bad for some of those with mobility challenges having to walk across the cardio room to acquire a wipe and then back just to wipe down their machine. Everything is accessible and it’s not that big of a walk, but I think it would be a positive quality of life improvement.

All in all, awesome gym!

My 3-year old daughter has been taking swim classes. I would like to express how grateful I am for the excellent coaching she has received and the thoroughly positive experience with caring, attentive teaching; Thank you Coach Hannah 🙏🙏🙏😊🏊

Great facility with new equipment and helpful staff. Very clean.

Great facility, and employees, but the system online, and with some third party app just to sign your kids up for a camp they've been doing for a decade , very simply, is absolutely atrocious. Not to mention a huge waste of time, and money going unnecessarily to a third party.
