Good vibe and eclectic crowd. Needs a better leg extension and leg curl machine. No one needs bicep machine. Ski erg and rower should be downstairs for injured or disabled individuals to use.Leg extension machine broken. Hopefully they replace with a full ROM and seated leg curl capable one. Sunset gym goers deserve more attention to detail on equipment for 70 bucks a month.

I've been going here since October, and it's one of the best value gyms in the city (by far!). Where else can you find a sub $50/month gym with a bunch of squat racks, machines, weights, etc? I'd definitely consider it the quintessential neighborhood gym. Quite literally has all of the equipment needed for a new comer, yet also satiates the seasoned gym-goer with its 10+ bench and squat racks. Dumbbells go pretty high in weight too. The equipment itself is a bit old/dated, but still entirely functional (remember the price you're paying). There are two floors, the bottom/main one with a bunch of machines, 5 treadmills, bikes, bench/squat racks, etc and the top floor with more cardio machines, a stretching area, punching bag, 4 more bench/squat racks, pull up bars outside, rowing machines, etc. People are truly super nice and approachable. They normally wipe down equipment after using it, and can help you with a spot if needed Highly recommend this gym!

While staying SF for a week I purchased a short term pass to this gym. I really liked that this was an option, and much more affordable than many local gyms for day/week passes. The process was super easy and the staff very helpful, no hard sell with the short term pass. The gym itself was great. It is not fancy or pretty, but has all the equipment you would want as a serious fitness enthusiast. Plenty of squat racks and free weights, good quality cardio equipment (including a ladder/climber) and room upstairs for stretching and floor exercise. It remined me of the old-school independent gyms that used to be more available before the rise of the big-box gyms. There was a really friendly neighborhood vibe, and it seemed like if you worked out there regularly it would be the kind of place where you would get to know everyone. I loved it there and would highly recommend it for those who like a good quality gym without too many extras.

Great gym. The only gym in the area to have serious equipment for serious lifters. Love the vibe and how clean it it.

Affordable neighborhood gym. The equipment are not the best, but do the job.

wow, who could give this gym anything above a 1 star. i am amazed, worked out ion over 50 gyms in my lifetime. this is absolute worst. every machine is 30 years old, every bar is rusted and so old there is no knurl. over 50 percent of everybench and seat were terribly ripped. the seated lat machines had broken seat adjustments and knee adjustments on BOTH!!! two of the oldest machines i have ever seen were out of order. the bathroom which opens directly onto the floor with maybe enough room to open the door was disgusting. dumbbell rack soold, the weights slipped off. water stains and degrading dry wall everywhere. The only thing nice about the gym were that the people were friendly. In addition, with only one machine for each body part, went at slow time of day and had to wait for every machine. entire work out sucked. 15 dollars for a day pass??? next time i go to ucsf and pay the 30 bucks and at least get a work out in. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

I have been coming here since 2017 with the only stoppage happening due to the Covid LOCKDOWN. PRE-COVID this place wasn't too crowded. You could get a workout in without having to wait too long for equipment to free up. Post-COVID, it's busy, people sit there on equipment playing on their phones. You have personal trainers who try to get you to finish quickly so their clients can get their reps in. To make matters worse, they keep signing up more and more customers for a tiny gym. If you must go, it is best to go early in the morning so you don't have to deal with a lot of people. I have talked to employees there about people hogging equipment but it did no good. My favorite is the female trainer who takes up 2 and 3 pieces of equipment during her workouts as well as client sessions. I will continue to come here because it's what I can afford given my current budget. If you can afford more I strongly recommend you do so. If you are not big on white nationalists, stay away. There is a numb nuts at the gym who wears (look it up) a t-shirt that says "tactical bowl cut" which is in reference to Dylann Roof who is a racist mass shooter as if its a good thing. Plus they wear a shirt referencing mein kampf, being "red pilled"and a few other neo-fascist/nazi references. It seems the people here either don't know or don't care. I will be out of here as soon as I move. I will be canceling my membership in couple months. Another reason to think long and hard before joining is that equipment such as treadmills and weight machines are CONSTANTLY broken. This is a major issue due to overcrowding at this gym. I would give Sunset Gym 5 stars if it wasn't for the often broken equipment, disinterested employees, tolerance of white nationalist apparel and overcrowding. Other than that, this place is great!

Great gym, affordable price. Surprisingly rarely feels packed even during busy hours. And when it came time for me to cancel (not related to the gym) they were polite and didn't try to finesse me or argue like other gyms. Overall a great family business in our neighborhood

Metal plates, and old school machines. A little cramped but has every machine you need and more, to be expected in SF. Staff is friendly and useful.

Love this place! Has everything I personally need from a lifting gym. Staff is super nice & always really accommodating. Promotes a sense of community in the Inner Sunset.
