Fitness & Gyms near Albany, CA

“OTF is a great workout, It’s balanced and adaptable, fun and challenging at the same time.
The Solano studio in particular is close to my heart: awesome staff, super friendly and always helpful. Shout out to coach Noah for always encouraging everyone and having the most energy early in the morning and also to coach Maddie for blasting the best music!”

“This gym has it all. I've been a member here for several years and I love the selection of machines and free weights. No waiting for equipment, welcoming atmosphere, amazing personal trainers that go above and beyond, clean locker rooms. Very much worth the price! And you get access to the Alameda gym which is their second location.”

“Dropped in while I was in town—awesome spot! Super welcoming vibe, and the coach did a great job keeping the class flowing with solid instructions. Definitely hitting this place up again next time I’m around!”

“This is a long overdue review! I'm extremely grateful to Tribe for helping me stay healthy and stronger since I joined 2 years ago. I was looking for ways to stay active while working from home and living with autoimmune disease. Having chronic health issues made me prioritize stress management and movement, but also be conscious of my body and find the balance between challenging myself and rest when needed. I love the friendly vibe of the gym (not the typical I have seen in other places) and that their schedule offers a wide variety of options, including strength and yoga classes, coaching, and seasonal challenges.

I was looking for a gym close to my home and ended up finding a great and fun community! If you're looking for a new way to stay active and healthy in San Francisco, you should try their 6-week challenge at Tribe!”

“This studio is lovely. My home studio is in Chicago and I dropped in to do a 610a class here while traveling for work. Anand, the lead instructor here, was phenomenal.
- Music selection - FIRE!
- Energy - ON 100 in the best way.
- Dimming the lights at cool down/stretching - NOVEL, why don't more people do this?!?!?!

They also have the new treads here which I really love. I'll be back.

One sucky thing, even though I have a unlimited membership, I still had to pay $10 to go to class. I'm sure that's a corporate thing, so I didn't ding them for this.”

“Simply put, Orangetheory Fitness Alameda is a fantastic place to work out. The energy is always high, the classes are challenging but manageable, and the community vibe makes it fun to show up and put in the work. Every coach brings something unique to the table, and I genuinely look forward to each session.
Huge shoutout to Coach Anthony - he took the time to tailor exercises for me when I was recovering from an injury and always keeps a close eye on form to make sure l'm pushing safely (and effectively - I can tell he cares about me being careful but also wants me to see results). Coach Sarah is another favorite - she has such a kind, encouraging attitude that keeps me motivated, and she's just as diligent about correcting form and keeping us aligned. Both have made me feel supported in every class.
And of course, I can't forget Coach Mikey! His energy is unmatched - he's hilarious, high-energy, and makes the time fly by (which is hilarious to say about workout classes as intense as OrangeTheory-LOL) Whether you're new to fitness or a seasoned athlete, the coaching team here makes every class feel personal and worthwhile.
The front desk team is also always welcoming, friendly, and on top of things, which makes the whole experience seamless.
Last comments about the workouts - I love that they offer flexibility based on how you're feeling that day
- the wide range of free weights (5 los to 50 los) means you can scale up or down as needed.
Highly recommend this studio!”

“I joined Orangetheory Berkeley in Oct 2022 and have been a regular since. As I’m older, I wasn’t sure initially if this would be a good fit. I discovered all ages are welcome! I like the inclusive, friendly, helpful vibe from the manager Van, to the front desk staff, to the coaches. The coaches also invite us to let them know anytime if we need adjustments to any part of the workout. We are invited to both challenge and pace ourselves. While all the coaches I’ve experienced are good, my current favorite classes are coached by Jazon and Noah.”

“First time training here and it was the perfect hour HIIT type class. Alex, the owner, was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and encouraging throughout the class. The exercises were challenging, but accessible to all levels. The music was fire. Perfect sized facility for group classes and clean/organized space.

Highly recommend working out here, we will definitely be coming back when we are in Oakland! Thank you, Alex!!”

“I had such a great experience at CrossFit Potrero Hill! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported. The community is warm, open, and genuine—it's the kind of place where you feel safe to show up exactly as you are, whether you're working through pain, chasing new goals, or just starting out. Coach Marciano was fantastic: professional, encouraging, and clearly passionate about what he does. This place isn’t about shortcuts—it’s about real care, hard work, and helping you grow. Highly recommend!”

“This is the best gym we have ever been to. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. They are conscientious about keeping everything clean and well ventilated.
Clients are considerate of others and take turns on the exercise machines. They have personal training as well. Love this place.”

“In town from Texas. I’m always curious to check out the local OTF. This location did not disappoint!

Sophie rocked it! I felt right at home.”

“I have been going to Truve for classes since 2017 and I remain a loyal fan. Classes I have taken include TRX, dance, various iterations of Bootcamp and HIIT. The instructors are now friends after all this time. Come and check it out”

“Love the experience, love the work out. All the instructors are great. Anthony was really great this morning and I appreciated his clear communication and positivity !”

“The coaches are phenomenal and the front desk staff are always so welcoming. I had the honor of taking classes with Coach Soph and Coach Cameron, and they were both so friendly, fun, and motivating! This is my mom’s home studio, and I’m incredibly thankful to the whole team for making it such a welcoming and empowering place for her to work out. She literally raves about all the coaches, and now I see why!
Y’all are doing an amazing job! thank you for creating such a positive, high energy space for your members!”

9Round kicks all the excuses out! I've been going for 6+ months now and will keep coming back.”

“Each time I have had the absolute honor of working out at this facility, I have been challenged, supported, and pushed to get the most out of my workout. I leave with an endorphin rush each time and feel stronger and closer to achieving my strength, stability, and overall wellness goals. Fabian is extremely knowledgeable and can modify and adjust workouts to fit your needs. I enjoy the atmosphere, the well planned workouts, and the folks I work out beside. 10s across the board!”

“I’ve been an Orangetheory member for a couple of years, but it’s in the last six months—attending classes 5-6 days a week—that I’ve truly embraced the experience. The dedication and warmth of coaches like Courtnie, Kreigon, Jordan, Sarah, Jessica, Madison, and don’t forget Josh have transformed the studio into a second home for me.

Orangetheory’s unique blend of heart-pumping cardio and strength training keeps me engaged and challenged. The variety ensures that no two workouts are the same, preventing monotony and continually pushing me to new heights. The structured yet dynamic nature of the classes means I can focus on giving my best without the hassle of planning my routine.

The sense of community at OTF is unparalleled. From the moment I walk in, I’m greeted with smiles and encouragement, making every session something to look forward to. The camaraderie among members and staff fosters an environment where everyone motivates each other to achieve their personal best.

The benchmarks and challenges are particularly motivating, offering clear goals to strive for and a tangible sense of accomplishment when they’re met. The energy in the studio during these events is electric, and it’s inspiring to see everyone pushing their limits together. I’ve definitely hit my weight loss goals and lost more than 25lbs since attending on a regular basis and gained strength as well.

If you’re in Mission Bay and haven’t experienced Orangetheory yet, you’re truly missing out. It’s more than just a workout; it’s a community, a lifestyle, and a place where you can achieve goals you never thought possible.”

“Joe and his team at Pinole X-Fit run a REALLY AWESOME operation. We've worked with them both for gym AND ninja kids parties. BOTH are run with kindness and efficiency, heart and soul. As a customer of the gym "in the old days" I'm confident in saying our local Pinole bootcamp training spot is Better Than Ever! It's an excellent local family business borh as a gym and for special events. The owner is patient, responsible and responsive and gives each step of your membership personal attention and dedication w no pressure or hype.Joe was prompt and hos attention to timelines and commitments are a REAL stand out. We're lucky to be customers!”

“Flagship is the best! I’ve been coming for a few months now and as a newbie to CrossFit style workouts I was worried about being able to keep up with the exercises. But everyone is super supportive and helpful, especially if you’re new. I’m excited to keep coming for years to come!”

“Nice and clean local gym with incredibly friendly staff. I was visiting from NY, and was allowed to try the gym with a day pass. As someone who visits SF quite frequently, I think I’ll be coming here more often for affordable day passes.”

“Dropped into Crossfit SOMA this morning and worked out with the 6:30am crew and Coach Kevin. I was so glad to find that the class was structured and Kevin provided guidance on movements throughout. I will definitely drop in here again if I am back in SF!”

“Thank you for bring a ninja gym to the heart of Richmond that place really need something like that for the kids I'm from Central Richmond me and my wife and when we are around the area we will be stopping by to check out your gym thank you once again sir for bring that to the community God bless you”

“After injuring my shoulder shoveling snow while in the mountains during snowpocalyose last winter, I knew it was time to get my body back in shape. Enter, Bliss Fitness and Health! From the first Rebel Recess class that I took, I have never felt more comfortable (except for the burpees!!) or more welcomed into a fitness space. The teachers are fantastic; the space is gorgeous; and most importantly after every class I feel euphoric, strong, and, dare I say, filled with bliss.”

“I found Flagship when I was recovering from an injury and interested in giving CrossFit workouts a try, and the coaches here are amazing! Nikki, Anais, and Liz do a great job of introducing each exercise, and it feels like there's a good amount of personal attention even when the classes are larger. The coaches make sure you feel comfortable with the movements and have the proper form, and help adjust workouts for any injuries. The equipment is really nice and the gym is spacious, so I enjoy coming here to exercise. I like that the workouts are published in advance so I know what I'm getting into, and I also really appreciate that they have multiple membership options, all transparently priced on their website. Joining Flagship was an excellent decision, and I'm looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with them!”

“Working out with Roland at Bay Bridge has been awesome. I first started going before a scheduled surgery to build strength, and I was amazed at how fit and strong I felt after just a few months. My sessions with Roland helped my surgery go very smoothly, and now I am loyal to this gem of a neighborhood gym!! All bodies and people will feel welcomed here.”

“Layla is amazing and very knowledgeable about anatomy. She was very patient and made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. This is a great place for people who work at a desk/computer. The manager, Mike, is very helpful and does a great job to make sure everything runs smoothly.”

“I recently joined Strong Island Fitness LLC and I'm thoroughly impressed! From the moment I stepped into the gym, I felt welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which makes for a great workout environment.The variety of equipment and classes offered is a major plus. Whether you're into weightlifting, cardio, or group fitness classes, there's something here for everyone. The instructors are fantastic—they really know how to motivate you and make sure you get the most out of each session.What I appreciate the most is the sense of community. It's not just a gym; it's a place where you're encouraged by both the staff and fellow gym-goers. This supportive atmosphere makes it a lot easier to stick with your fitness goals.Overall, if you're looking for a top-notch fitness experience on Long Island, Strong Island Fitness LLC is the place to be. I highly recommend it!”

“I have such a great amount of respect for the place and community that Coaches Holly and Brian have built. Coach Paola also helps create an incredible space where people want to keep showing up for themselves and for their goals. The Resilient Strength is purposeful, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of the athletes that enter through the front door, whether they are trying to introduce themselves to the world of strength training, or if they are trying to take their game to the next level. I have trained here for a little less than a year, and my only regret is that I took so long to find this space. I consider myself an aspiring powerlifting competitor. It is deeply reassuring to have personal coaching that will align with my interests, and is actively helping me achieve the dreams and PRs that I want to reach. The amount of growth I have experienced as an athlete in such a short amount of time is beyond my expectations, and I am exceptionally grateful for the ride. Highly recommended.”

“I started seeing Jay for sports massages after sustaining some gym injuries that left me with chronic pain. He is excellent at what he does and I like that his approach addressed the full body. He is also very friendly and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Whether you're an active athlete or just dealing with tense muscles, you can benefit from having bodywork done by Jay!”

“Just joined a few weeks ago and man, I’ll tell ya. This place is exactly what I need after the shitshow of the last year or so! Lots of personal and professional life challenges led to some intense anxiety and depression. I am a horrible therapy participant, but I am a true believer in the power of physical activity and exertion. This place fits the bill. It truly is like family. The coaches are amazing and the members couldn’t be more welcoming and supportive. CrossFit can be intimidating for beginners but don’t let that stop you. Cypher is the perfect place for folks who are looking to join a community. Staff and fellow members push you to work hard with motivation and support.

I highly recommend at least 6 fundamental sessions if you are brand new to CrossFit. The extra time spent working on form will serve you well, trust me. There are classes available at all hours, so it is super convenient. I live nearby, so I can cycle over, but there is plenty of parking right outside.

Do yourself a favor and sign up. The feeling after a grueling workout is absolutely worth every penny!”
