“I won an auction for 3 Pilates reformer classes last year and I haven’t stopped going! I knew I had to start building strength for my health, but was having trouble motivating myself to go to the gym. Alison’s classes are fun and challenging. I can tell I’m so much stronger than I used to be.”

“It took my partner and me a while to get back into a gym routine, but I’m so glad we chose Body Mechanix. I initially felt overwhelmed—especially with weights and equipment we weren’t familiar with—but Minh made all the difference. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and does a great job breaking everything down step by step, which helped us build confidence, strength, and consistency. The gym itself has a welcoming, supportive community and excellent trainers. I highly recommend Body Mechanix whether you’re brand new to the gym or more experienced—you’ll feel comfortable and supported either way.”

“We signed up for the 10 day unlimited trial. My daughter has loved it so far. The staff is really supportive and helpful. I'm recovering from a spinal injury so I can't workout with her, I appreciate that she gets to do these workouts. It is the highlight of the day. It's really helping her build confidence. Once I'm cleared I may sign up myself. Thanks, y'all!”

“Bliss has been a staple in my life since 2019, when I joined to add more movement, build strength, and de-stress. Before Bliss, I belonged to a larger gym chain that felt impersonal and intimidating. The people at Bliss work to provide an antithesis to stereotypical gyms; it’s a people-centered, supportive space that makes fitness welcoming and enjoyable!”

“As a mom, I'm always a little nervous when my son trains somewhere new — especially while we're traveling. But from the first day my son walked into Bravo Zulu while we were visiting Oakland, that worry disappeared. He's been doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for years, so he's no beginner, but he came home that first night talking about how much sharper and more focused the coaching was compared to what he was used to. As the days went on, I watched him get more confident, not just on the mats, but in the way he carried himself. What really stood out to me was how Coach Nick and the team welcomed him in immediately. As a new kid on the block visiting from another country, they treated my son like he'd been training there for years. The other teens and adults in his classes pushed him hard, but in a way that felt encouraging rather than intimidating, and he came out of every session a little more confident and a little more sure of himself. As a parent, that's really what you hope for: a place that builds skill, sure, but also character. Bravo Zulu did both. We're so grateful for the time he spent there, and we'll be looking for an excuse to stop back in next time we're in Oakland.”

“I was invited to God’s Gym for leg day and immediately upon my arrival I meet Gary. Gary’s whole energy field was bright and uplifting and I knew that I was in great hands. Picture this- a gym where it feels like the 1980’s in the best way. No pretense , no “ lifestyle branding” just you, your gymmates , and Gary pumping iron. I felt like I was back in the gym with my dad when I was a kiddo. I loved being part of the camaraderie- everyone cheering you on to see you succeed and Gary counting your reps and motivating you to crush it. Although it was only a half hour session I began to question what I was actually accomplishing at my home gym. At God’s gym people weren’t scrolling their phones- they were present and they were putting in the work.”

“Let the record show- I am not a huge review leaver. I LOVED MY WORKOUT CLASS AT THE COMBINE. If you are looking for a gym where you can trust to get a killer workout don’t look further. I did a 7AM Wednesday class and left feeling fitter and stronger. The dopamine rush was insaneeee. Alex had an amazing playlist, great vibes, and kept me working hard and smiling through a challenging and rewarding workout. Would recommend for athletes and beginners alike.”

“I’ve been training at Pinpoint for close to a year and appreciate that it is locally owned and invested in our community. Aamir strikes the right balance between discipline and understanding. He developed a training plan tailored to my goals while taking into account my age and limitations from old injuries. He pushes me to improve but knows when to adjust to keep training productive and sustainable. His approach is thoughtful, effective, and focused on long term progress. I leave each session feeling challenged and motivated to come back. I highly recommend Aamir to anyone looking for a trainer who takes an individualized approach to each client and is serious about helping clients achieve their goals.”

“Had my first class here at Barry's a few days ago. The staffers are informative and helpful, the space is clean and seemingly well-maintained; the class and the instructors were very clear with their coaching for the group class. The space felt very disorienting at first with low-light and loud sound, but once you get settled, it seems fine. My observation is around hygiene and cleanliness. During the class sessions, no one seems to be wiping down their equipments in between use, which seemed very gross especially during a sweat-inducing class. Perhaps there's more encouragement from the instructions to do so during the session?”

“The best gym in Oakland 💖 A few years ago I entered a powerlifting meet not knowing how much it would change my life for the better. The USPA meet at Get Bent introduced me to a community of individuals that became life time friends. What Jason and Pela do here is more than fitness…they cultivate a community that welcomes all to feel like they have a home away from home.”

“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.”

“I've been going to Ownit RX for almost 6 months now after not lifting for several years, and it has been fantastic so far. Fabien does a great job of programming challenging, but modifiable classes and always keeps the group entertained during classes. All of the classes have been relatively small, which means that it's been really easy to ask questions about how to do an exercise or get a form check. Fabien has been a wealth of knowledge on exercises and has helped me set up a small rehab program for a hamstring injury that I picked up a few months ago. It got me healthy again so quickly. I'm looking forward to seeing what progress I make over the next few months and also working out with all of my neighbors”

“The whole experience was amazingly satisfying. I was welcomed with an awesome playlist and smiling faces. I was anxious because I am out of shape, however, the class was manageable and was a great workout. I can’t wait to go back.”

“Everything I said in my previous review still stands, I just want to highlight how awesome the trainers have been during the last year plus as we've all had to negotiate the COVID pandemic. They've adapted to teaching a mix of in-person and online classes and they've done an excellent job of making things challenging while keeping workouts accessible and adaptable as needed for everyone's personal situation. All of the trainers here are excellent, but most of the classes I take are with Deanna. Training with her is an incredibly positive experience--she is completely committed to helping her clients succeed, and not just in the gym. And on those days when my tank is empty or I'm not with it for whatever reason she's completely understanding and is able to adjust things to meet me where I'm at so I still get a good workout in. A lot of it may be behind the scenes, but she works just as hard as her clients at helping them achieves their goals. Phoenix Gym is an incredibly positive, supportive, and judgement-free zone, and being a member here has been a life-changing experience.”

“UAF is the best gym!!! I have been consistently working out in Jon’s classes since 2020 and I have become so much stronger! Jon is always changing up the workouts with new moves and a great mix of strength and cardio. I’ve also improved my mobility and recently started barbell classes. Sunday kickboxing is a highlight! Jon knows when to push me that extra bit so that I keep seeing consistent improvements! UAF has a great community, excellent value for the monthly class pass, and a major bonus is that I can take classes online from home to fit into my work/personal schedule! Highly recommend!!”

“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’m long past due for a review (sorry for gatekeeping) but Flex is the greatest neighborhood gym you could hope for. Clean facilities, friendly staff, well maintained machines, and a gorgeous and cool studio that’s open for use when classes aren’t taking place. Clientele is friendly, only positive vibes. No creeps, no intimidating gym bros, just people enjoying the space together as they reach their health and wellness goals. Rarely too busy. I’m not a class person, but the classes seem fun and diverse. Truly a gem of a gym and I feel so lucky to have it in my neighborhood.”

“l've had a great experience here. If you're serious about making progress, this is a great gym to join. I've been a member for about a year and a half, and I have nothing but positive things to say. What stood out to me from day one was how committed people are to their fitness. There are members of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels, from beginners scaling workouts to very experienced athletes. I started out scaling a lot of movements myself, and it's been rewarding to see how much l've progressed. I've learned a lot of new movements here, not only from the coaches but also from training around people who are genuinely committed to improving. Members are happy to share fitness tips, encourage each other, and push one another toward their personal best. I usually go to the gym to work out rather than socialize, but it's been really nice to come across so many friendly and supportive people along the way. All of the coaches I've worked with have been friendly and professional, and they give helpful feedback on technique and form. James, the owner, also deserves recognition. He takes pride in his business, cares about the quality of the gym, and leads by example in making sure it is well run. To me, he represents what responsible business ownership should look like: investing in the community you've built and genuinely caring about the experience people have there. I was excited about this gym from my first day since I was new to olympic weightlifting and CrossFit, and a year and a half later, I'm still glad I joined. If you want a place where people come to work, improve, and support each other's progress, I definitely recommend it. having a positive space where you can show up, work hard, relieve some stress, and reset for the day makes a bigger difference than people realize and that helped me stay focused and consistent during a difficult period.”

“I have been training with Mina and Liz at Intelligent Fitness for a little over a year and I absolutely love it! I came to Intelligent Fitness with some very specific health and fitness concerns and they created a program that is completely tailored to my needs. My strength and flexibility have increased significantly and I look forward to my workouts all week. The sessions are fun and engaging and I feel completely confident in their expertise. I can’t recommend this gym enough.”

“My favorite gym I've ever been to - equipment's always available, clean and good quality. It's strength training focused, sled, suspension trainers, multiple squat racks, the way a gym should be. The vibe is really friendly, everyone's local and a regular. Intimate, but you can still come in and do your thing with headphones on.”

“I've been around many Muay Thai and boxing gyms in the Bay Area and if you're into getting individual attention and a coach that will really challenge you then CMT is the gym for you! There are beginner friendly classes as well as competitive classes so this is a good gym for all levels.”

“I've been a client at Express Strength for a little over a year and I am happy to report that I have experienced a significant improvement in my strength and knee related issues. Alexis is kind, patient, knowledgeable and clear. I always get an excellent workout and look forward to my time at her studio. If your physical therapy work is not keeping pace with your progress, please consider Alexis & Jack's studio! I admit I was dubious about using machine weights and fewer workouts but their method really works. Consistency is key and they are methodical and meticulous in their planning, attention and training.”

“Michael Smartt is beyond great. I worked with him before the pandemic, and started again when BFF moved to the new location, which I love (it's small enough and big enough, with easy parking). Michael knows so much about the body, can chase down any injury, prevents others; he's helped me prep for big back packing trips; stay healthy and strong for every day life, and even given me exercises that have helped my migraines. He puts together a well-rounded, smart workout-- I always recommend BFF to everyone I know.”

“Training with Kenny has been worth every penny. I've been with him for 1.5 years, which has made a huge difference in how I feel. Before coming to Kenny at Body of Work, I was flabby, unmotivated, and not looking my best. Six months before a milestone birthday I started working out with Kenny 2xs a week. Thanks to Kenny, I've toned my arms, abs, and glutes, now, I feel so much better about my body and much healthier overall. Kenny does a good job keeping it interesting and tailored to you. And the biggest perk is that Kenny is delightful so the hour goes by quickly. He's just an all-around good guy who loves what he does and cares about his clients. Highly recommend.”
