Lakeridge Athletic Club

Lakeridge Athletic Club is a comprehensive gym and leisure facility situated on a six-acre estate in the hills of El Sobrante. The 22,000 square foot facility provides a well-equipped gym with free-weights, strength-training equipment, and cardio machines. The venue is noted for its large, year-round heated outdoor pool, which members describe as beautifully tree-lined, creating a relaxing, lake-like atmosphere. This pool is a central feature for families and individuals, though it can become crowded on warm, sunny days.

Gym members consistently praise the club's exceptionally clean and well-maintained environment, with machines, treadmills, and weights always ready for use. The staff receives high marks for being professional, friendly, and welcoming, contributing to a strong sense of community where lasting friendships are formed. The club caters extensively to families, offering all-day childcare from 8:30 am to 8:30 pm, which members find invaluable. A wide array of included group fitness classes, such as Pilates, Zumba, and spinning, taught by certified instructors, complements the gym facilities. Additional sports amenities include tennis, racquetball, and basketball courts. The property also features a large parking lot with electric vehicle chargers and solar panels. While many members express deep, long-term loyalty and appreciation for the club as a "home away from home," some have reported concerns regarding contract termination fees and the quality of the swim instruction program.
