“All around, the front staff makes a big difference. Devinn's orientation, the workout and the technology. The workout is easy to follow. I got real luck, because my first instructor was Kalli who has great energy! I had one workout where my rower didn't capture my data. That was a big bummer and I hope they can fix that. I think long term if the data didn't capture, I would reduce my score to a 8 or 7. Overall, this location is well-run, clean and a great vibe. I was hesitant with all the monitors, but after orientation with Devinn, I was comfortable.”

“Really nice community where the staff knows you by name after a few visits, and newcomers are very welcome. Many classes with varied workout designs that are changed monthly. Considering the typical cost in the area for gym memberships, very reasonable pricing with no contracts, especially considering the community feel. Lots of safety measures and during COVID shutdowns, went so far as to build an outdoor gym to keep things safe. Wall that opens to keep a semi-outdoors feel for when needed as a COVID safety measure, and excellent ventilation system. Fresh towels, lockers, shower. Not a meat market the way some gyms are. Unique recharge and recovery options like cryo and red light room.”

“Newer member. Like the place overall.Pluses:— Clean.— Friendly, helpful staff (not there Sundays though).— Pretty uncrowded.— Easy to get in and out.— Cheaper than Mountain View YMCA (but more expensive than big gym chains).— Nice ‘regular ppl’ vibe (aka seems mostly roid-bro and bimbo free).— They actually have Airex pads (comfy).— Open 24-7 (‘cept a couple of hours on Friday evenings).Minuses:— Small size means they won’t have everything.— Specifically, no shoulder press machine is a BIG miss. There’s actually room for it.— Could really use a small dedicated stretching area with mirrors. Some ppl are doing physical therapy.— They have clocks, but bigger and/or digital ones are much more useful. You want to be able to easily tell time between sets (rest periods) from anywhere.Overall, can’t ask for much better from a small gym. You may eventually outgrow it, but it’s quite good for what it is. ?”

“Curves is the best way to exercise! It takes 30 minutes out of your day and the bonus is meeting the nicest and helpful staff and other women working to stay in shape and stay healthy. Check out the Los Altos Curves. You wont’s regret it!”

“Easily my new favorite workout class! I have been coming once a week for the past few months and have already seen a difference in my overall strength. Fun classes, clean studio, and amazing instructors! Absolutely recommend!”

“SBM is an amazing place. They have the best instructors I’ve ever worked with. Not only are they knowledgeable and experts in their field, you can feel that they are kind and caring. Without hesitation, they tailor the class for you - offering modifications when needed.”

“I just joined F45 and LOVE it! I have tried all workouts like Barrys, Soul Cycle, Orange Theory, been a member of Equinox and Crunch and more and this just fits exactly what I need! I thrive in a group atmosphere and the community here is amazing! Everyone is so welcoming and friendly and I also love that it's a phenomenal workout at only 45 minutes! I'm a mother of two kids and need to be efficient with my time, but also prioritize myself to stay in shape!! Love all the trainers here.. Ami, Mike, Leslie and Aimee! So happy to be a part of the F45 fam!”

“I am relatively new to working out - 17 weeks of consistent exercise and still going strong! Let's just say I am on the large size, and I don't always feel comfortable dealing with fitness people, but this has not been the case at all with FIT. I am working remotely with their trainer Jeff. With a relatively small investment I have all of the equipment I need to transform my family room into a workout space each morning. I work out through face time with 3 other women, each of whom are in much better shape than I am. Jeff tailors a program for each of us, so that we are doing similar exercises at the same time fitting each of our needs. He has been particularly good at helping me find ways to continue to work out despite some knee issues. He is amazingly responsive. What I'm enjoying most is the balance in the workouts between strength training and cardio. By the end of every workout I really feel a sense of accomplishment and have worked up a good sweat. I feel that great feeling of having worked hard and accomplished something, but I don't feel so exhausted the rest of the day that my day is shot. I feel revved up rather than beaten down. If your looking for a way to workout from your home, I would give FIT a call. I find the cost reasonable. You don't need your own home gym just some weights, an adjustable weight kettle ball and a mat will get you started. I highly recommend.”

“Amazing crossfit gym... Thoughtful workouts -- with tailored warmups. Teachers are friendly and encouraging. Community is supportive and not overly competitive.”

“I have probably tried every gym in town and this is the first one that has stuck… for several years now! It just has that perfect balance of challenging you while keeping it fun. An hour seriously flies by there and it always includes some great jams, some laughs, some cheering, sweating and friendly competition. The format of 2 trainers for every small group works perfectly for me. It provides just the right amount of attention to make me feel safe and confident in trying new challenging exercises and it keeps me accountable (i.e. makes it hard to cheat ?). All the trainers are fab but my favs are Corey (the owner), Cisco & Evan. Don’t join if you want showers, spa, a pool etc. Do join if you want a place where everyone knows your name, keeps track of your progress and makes you feel like they give a damn. Oh and if you want to get stronger, leaner, faster, hotter ?”

“I LOVE the xformer machine (it's by far my favorite) and there's only a few studios out here that use it. MPX was the closest studio to me so I tried them out first, and I'm so happy I did! I love their class format and their instructors! Granted, I've only taken it with one instructor so far but she's incredibly talented - she's patient, kind, mindful of everyone's differences (in terms of level/comfort/strength), explains proper form and how to engage different muscles (e.g., if you want to make an exercise more quad dominant vs glutes), and never forgets if there's someone in class that has a limitation and/or needs a modification due to an injury. I've tried a few other studios around here and the only thing they have over this one is better packages ($savings). If you can afford to splurge a little, choose this studio (sign up now!). I promise you won't regret it.”

“Possibly the best fish and chips you'll ever have. Fresh off the boat sea bass lightly battered with Panko and not at all greasy. The fries were just as good. The sea bass has a sweetness to it that's really fantastic and melts in your mouth. Unlike denser cod or halibut it barely requires chewing. The food is 5 stars. Gave 4 because the service could have been better. The last time we were here was 3 years ago and it's what brought us back. Try it. You won't be disappointed. Guaranteed. ?”

“Alex is a good coach who makes laugh even when he is killing me in the workouts. I also appreciate Coach Darren for what he did for me during hard times. Thank you”

“This was a great gym for a drop in. I was able to sign up for class easily online ahead of time. Tim (owner/coach) is really experienced and knowledgeable. The people were friendly and very welcoming and the gym was organizing and well equipped. Looking forward to my next visit.”

“Danny and his training staff are AMAZING - friendly, informed, and full of positive energy. Both me and my wife did personal training with Shinta, Danny, and Britanny. Not being able to work out here was my #1 regret when moving out of Foster City.”

“IMPACT is a great kickboxing gym for all levels. My husband I joined a year ago with different experience levels (I have a black belt in taekwondo, whereas he was completely new to this kind of workout). Both of us have grown over the past year thanks to the instructors at IMPACT. They're all really friendly and knowledgeable! I've been to all kinds of gyms, and none of them match the culture at IMPACT. Everyone feels welcome here.”

“Training Space is an absolute gem in the fitness world, and it has truly transformed my life in more ways than one. After walking out of the hospital in 2022 due to an acute condition, I found myself losing a significant amount of muscle mass, and I knew I needed a place that could help me get back on track. Thankfully, I stumbled upon Training Space, and boy, was it a game-changer!From the moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. Meeting Michael, the owner, was like meeting an old friend. The vibe of the gym was unlike any other I had experienced before, and the presence of strong lifters around me was genuinely motivating. It was evident that this place was special, different from the typical gyms I had visited in the past.I decided to sign up for a transformation program with Michael, and it was undoubtedly the best decision I could have made. With his expert guidance, I started building back muscle and adopting a healthier lifestyle. Michael encouraged me to take on heavier lifts, such as deadlifts, bench presses, and squats. Surprisingly, it was the first time I felt comfortable handling such heavy weights, all thanks to his excellent coaching and support.Throughout my journey, Michael was my pillar of strength, supporting me not only in my fitness goals but also in various aspects of life. His dedication, encouragement, and mentorship were unparalleled, and I owe my substantial increase in strength to his personalized training approach.In less than a year, I achieved something I had never thought possible: I competed in my first powerlifting meet and proudly brought home a gold medal. Michael's belief in me made all the difference, and I will forever be grateful for his unwavering support.What sets Training Space apart from other gyms is Michael's vision of fostering a strong community. The atmosphere during the "Third Space" event, which I was privileged to be a part of as a DJ, was incredible. The art, music, dancing, and delicious food brought everyone together in a way that was truly heartwarming. This sense of belonging and camaraderie among gym members, friends, and family is truly special and something I haven't experienced anywhere else.The trainers at Training Space are exceptional, each with a deep understanding of their clients' needs. While powerlifting is at the core, people attend for various reasons, and there is a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. I also appreciate the fact that this place embraces individuality and encourages people to be themselves, free from any stifling constraints.In conclusion, I can't recommend Training Space enough to anyone on their fitness journey. Michael's passion for what he does, his commitment to his clients' well-being, and his dedication to building a vibrant community are truly commendable. If you're looking for a place to transform your body, mind, and soul, Training Space is the ultimate destination. I am forever grateful for the positive impact it has had on my life, and I look forward to continuing my journey in this amazing place!”

“I have been training at Opex San Juan for almost a year and a half. During a recent work/vacation trip to San Francisco, I s for in the atea anound Opex Kura. Melissa promptly answered all my questions and welcomed me to visit her gym. All the equipment and machines are in excellent conditions and neatly organized. Furthermore, the floor coaches, Melissa and Josh, were astounding…those kind of trainers that not only advise you on the adequate position for your exercises, but further explain why, when and where you should move, push, extend, and feel the pressure. Definitely, having other Opex gyms focused on individualized training (not a crossfit box) while traveling is another benefit for joining this community. Thanks Melissa and Josh!!!”

“Hands down the best CrossFit gym I have ever been to besides my home gym here in Chicago. I visited as a walk-in last week and loved HGX so much that I came back for a second class... while on vacation, no less. I had Jazmin and Julie as my coaches during my two visits - they were welcoming and gave me excellent feedback on form. The broader HGX community is also incredibly friendly and diverse in profession, age, race, culture, and CrossFit levels. Thank you HGX for being a highlight of my Bay Area trip.Advice for travelers: Eat all the good food the Bay Area has to offer, and work it off at HGX :)- Matthew, Chicago”

“I found Morph Fitness online when I was looking into getting my fitness and diet on track. I'm so grateful I didn't let my hesitancy stop me from meeting with Wayne for my initial assessment. It's been two months with Wayne now and it's been one of the best decisions of my life and truly transformative.Wayne not only possesses an exceptional level of expertise in fitness and nutrition but also has an unmatched ability to tailor workouts to my specific needs and goals. His personalized approach ensured that every session was challenging yet achievable, pushing me to surpass my limits and reach new heights. I especially appreciated the attention to rehabbing old injuries and focusing on weaknesses I didn't know existed.I've attempted many diets before and unsurprisingly none of them stuck. Wayne's diet program is simple and approachable but incredibly effective. The easy-to-follow guardrails are exactly what a diet requires and made it a success for both me and my wife. Eight weeks in and I'm down 16 lbs of FAT, upped my muscle mass by 2 lbs, and all confirmed by a DEXA scan yesterday! For reference, my starting point was 154 lbs and somewhere between 18-22% body fat.Thanks to Wayne, I have not only transformed my body but also gained a newfound confidence and strength that extends far beyond the gym walls. His commitment to my success has truly been genuine, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me achieve my goals.If you're looking for a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also truly cares about your progress and well-being, look no further than Wayne. He is simply the best in the business, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Wayne!”

“I've been working out here 4x a week for the last month from around 9-11am. It's basically always nearly empty, which I love. They have all of the barbells, bumper plates, training plates, many squat racks and lifting benches and all of the machines I'd consider using. If you like to lift it's basically perfect. The environment is more chill and personal than a. Corporate gym but less pressure than a personal training only gym. I have been doing the semi private training which is ideal for helping me get back into lifting after a 10 year break. I didn't know what semi private training is; it's not a class, it just means they get you all set up and check in form and help with workout design and check in on you several times during your workout and see if you have questions and are using good form but they aren't hovering over you every minute of the workout (which I did not like from personal training in the past.) there are personal trainers and their clients from time to time and they seem to have fun but that's not really my thing. I expect that in 6 months or so I will have a solid foundation and will transition to a regular gym membership here. It's great to have that flexibility.”

“I am 38 and have always hated the idea of working out. I also have suffered from severe anxiety my whole life. I decided to do the 6 week challenge and I can't believe I'm saying this but within the first week it changed my life. I haven't had an anxiety attack at all for the last month and SO MANY other things are happening (job offers, money randomly coming in, old friends contacting me). This place is magic. From someone that didn't believe in this shit before I'm telling you it's real. Mike and Jess (trainers) really care about you and help you. I can't believe it took me so long to do this. The past is the past. Let the dead bury the dead. Now is the only time that exists. I am finally becoming the person I have always wanted.to be. THANK YOU!”

“I have been taking classes from Kelly (HIIT, Boot Camp, Kick Boxing, Spin...etc) for years. I am the type that needs the class to be fun, filled with good music, and throw in a few laughs. Her classes check all the boxes, and the group/community there is a huge bonus. She is great at encouraging you to push yourselves, but the classes allow you the flexibility to dial up or down the intensity based on your comfort level or how you feel that day ;). I highly recommend giving this place a try. I find fitness is important for the health of your mind and body. I leave my classes here feeling like I have achieved both.”

“I've never done a rowing class before and took a class with a friend of mine who is a member. It was a great workout. Staff were friendly, provided a tour of facility and walked me through everything I needed to know as a newbie. It's a smaller, boutique gym so there aren't showers but they have clean and spacious bathrooms where you can change. They went over membership pricing and bulk/individual class costs without being too pushy.”

“Excellent school for kids. Sifu Li is a great teacher - the right balance of guidance and firmness, praise and instruction, and also understanding that they are in fact just kids; inspiring them to go forward and be focused and learn respect and be disciplined while also having fun. Can't praise it highly enough.”
