“Today I was a mess and showed up without an outfit and the girls helped me get an outfit together to be able to work out STAT. So sweet. Such a nice staff. 10/10”
“I love TruFusion. I’ve been going there for over two months and have seen a lot of progress. The staff is incredibly kind and attentive, and the classes are motivating. I definitely recommend TruFusion if you’re looking to try Pilates.”
“I joined CrossFit Sweatshop two years ago, and what stood out to me immediately was the atmosphere. CrossFit can feel intimidating from the outside, especially when you’re surrounded by incredibly strong and experienced athletes, but Sweatshop somehow manages to be both challenging and deeply welcoming. I’ve never felt judged or looked down on—only encouraged, inspired, and supported. The coaches and members have a way of pushing you to grow while also making you feel like you belong. I’ve learned so much here, not just from the coaching but also from the kindness and helpful tips of the people around me.
I had to step away during pregnancy and postpartum after experiencing infant loss. Coming back felt vulnerable—I wasn’t sure what to expect or how long it would take to rebuild my strength. But after just three months back, I’m already lifting heavier than I ever did before, even before having kids. More than that, as a busy homeschooling mom of three, having an hour a few times a week to simply care for my body has been such a gift and has been incredibly beneficial for my mental and physical health.
CrossFit Sweatshop has been more than a gym for me—it’s been a place of challenge, encouragement, and support through different seasons of life, and I’m so grateful I found it.”
“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!!”
“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.”

“The class is a high-energy workout that combines cardio, strength, and technique into one session. Ceez and Ray have provided a safe space that builds endurance, improves coordination, and tones the entire body while also being a powerful stress reliever. The rest of the staff are highly motivational and give you the right amount of push to get you pumped and going! Their hours are pretty much flexible for that early start of the morning to that last minute workout to end the day. No matter what your mood maybe you always end your session with a smile and feeling accomplished!”
“One of the best workouts I’ve had in years. The balance between cardio and strength is nearly perfect, and the movements are thoughtfully designed for intermediate to advanced fitness levels. The class moves at a fast pace, but it’s very approachable since each workout offers both regressions and progressions, making it accessible no matter where you’re starting from. On top of that, the community is incredibly welcoming and supportive. Highly recommend!”
“Pinpoint provides the most personalized training I've ever experienced, and I've worked with a lot of trainers. I always feel so cared for and they're always teaching me new ways to improve my training. I've learned so much about how to strengthen my body that I'm literally a brand new woman!!! Thanks Pinpoint!!”

“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.”

“Star Method Boxing is a great place for a beginner boxer. I worked with Keenan Craig and he was amazing great energy Help and support. He trained me very well and gave me great advice. The two problems I had with Star Method was its price and its reality of boxing. Star methods price is a little unrealistic compared to many real boxing gyms and much more pricey. Lastly if you’re really looking to do boxing professionally I wouldn’t recommend star method because it’s not made to become the best. Sadly there not signed up in USA boxing so you couldn’t even have a fight. If you really want to become great I would recommend a dident gym but this place is amazing and great I just don’t think it’s made to become a champ”
“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 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!”
“Love this place. If your looking for a place to really work out, then this is your place. All the trainers are genuinely helpful to your specific goals. I was so much more comfortable working out here than at a big chain gym. The best part about the group classes is that they allow you to workout the right way & at your capability so you do not hurt yourself. Each class offered is intense but with slightly different instructor technique - will keep you coming back for more (and sore)! Lol Attended this gym for 6 months, unfortunately, due to work schedule and travel, could not continue. I do want to give special shoutout to the owner Marlon. He runs the business with high ethical and moral standards, always keeping customer goal as priority. Thank you Marlon for great experience with Body Mechanics.”

“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!”
“Small parking lot. Keep in mind that you must park in an unmarked spot. Studio is small and intimate. No locker room, just cubbies. Enjoyed the Climb x Bootcamp class with loud music and low lighting. Will try their Lagree class next time.”

“I can’t say enough about my experience with Orangetheory Fitness, and in particular, Coach Amanda. Her dedication and personalized approach to my strength training played a pivotal role in my journey to the Berlin marathon, and I couldn’t be more grateful.Coach Amanda’s commitment to my success was evident from the very beginning. She provided the kind of personal attention and guidance that truly sets Orangetheory apart. Her knowledge and expertise in strength training were instrumental in helping me reach my goals.Thanks to Coach Amanda’s guidance and the fantastic facilities at Orangetheory Fitness, I was able to achieve a personal record (PR) in the Berlin marathon, shaving a remarkable 8 minutes off my previous time. This achievement was a testament to the effectiveness of the program and Coach Amanda’s unwavering support.I highly recommend Orangetheory Fitness to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey, especially if you have ambitious goals like a marathon. Coach Amanda’s dedication and the Orangetheory experience make it an outstanding choice for individuals seeking to push their limits and achieve remarkable results.Thank you, Coach Amanda, and Orangetheory Fitness, for helping me reach new heights in my fitness journey. Your support made all the difference!”
“I found StudioFlex via Yelp and was thrilled that I did. I recently checked it out and had an assessment by one of the owners, Kyle Gee. The facility is fantastic - very clean, state of the art equipment and a good variety of it. There is a small parking lot that makes it very convenient and easy. Besides the awesome facility, I have to give a huge shout out to Kyle. His intake and assessment was really thorough - he asked a lot of excellent questions to ensure that he had all the information needed as a trainer, but also to ensure that my needs/goals would be met. Kyle inspired confidence and truly showed he cared about my health journey. You would be in great hands at StudioFlex should you check it out - which you should!”

“Starting off 2025 at The Mission HQ !! Thank you to the incredible team, Amy McCann and especially Coach Wilson Du (aka: Renal Warrior), for your unwavering support, expert guidance, and positive energy which pushed my boys and help make every workout a journey of self-discovery. Fitness is more than just exercise; it's a mindset that helps give us confidence to conquer any life challenges that may come our way!! This gym isn't just a place to train; it's a community that inspires growth, and we are so blessed to be a part of it.
Most importantly, praise God for the testimony of Wilson Du and how God transformed his life and gave him strength to persevere and endure through the most difficult of times. Now he is helping lift others up through that same journey he has gone through.”

Angela, the owner, is a remarkably good manager and her staff is unqualifiedly excellent.”
“I came to BK Fitness to help me heal from back pain—and I cannot say enough great things! When I started, I was immediately impressed with how Mindy assessed my capabilities without judgement, and got me working in a way that’s fun, encouraging, and results oriented. Now, a few months in, I am stronger, healthier, inspired and grateful. BK Fitness is a wonderful place for transformation!”
“I was grabbing a juice from Got Juiced and after chatting with the manager Tarrell found out he was the owner of Body Mechanix. After hearing about my struggle with back pain when lifting he offered to give me tips on my form and did an incredible stretch session that honestly left me feeling 2 inches taller! I got to meet the manager in Body Mechanix too and they were both so friendly and professional. Thanks for the kindness to someone who isn't even a member (yet) Tarrell. He's the real deal, highly recommend the staff there.”
“I love this gym. I used to drive to the Walnut Creek gym, but that gym has been getting overcrowded. This gym is perfect. I make it a habit of mines to work out from 5-7am every day at this gym to get my morning started.”
