Everytime I come to the gym it has been a great experience . I love the ass and Abs class on the weekends . I’m a beginner gym goer but I feel like the class caters to that with a huge push! I recommend taking some classes off Instagram to try it out .

Fantastic gym with a supportive community and great classes. QT affirming. Perfect for all fitness levels (I, as a beginner, felt super comfortable). Highly recommend!

Love this gym! They have calibrated kilogram plates, lots of racks, free weights, and a great atmosphere. The owners, Jason and Pela are very friendly and knowledgeable coaches. I’m not from this city, but I always drop in here when I visit Oakland.
