Fitness & Gyms near San Lorenzo, CA

“I've now been reasonably consistent at this gym. I come to appreciate the facility more and more as I get to know the employees, equipment and general layout. I've also become more familiar with the members. This gym is Clean, well equipped and very comfortable. The employees are great. 99 percent of them have been very kind, helpful, and friendly. I feel that the management cares about keeping a high level of professionalism and it shows in the all star behavior of their staff. This is truly a five star gym. Don't hesitate to enroll if you aren't already. This gym is superior to all the others. They have a room with great glute equipment. ( Booty Builder machines) These are hard to find. I look forward to going there each time . I LOVE IT!! SUPER EMPLOYEES EVERYWHERE!!!!! THANKS CRUNCH! NOW I'M BUFFED!!”

“I’ve been attending CrossFit of Fremont for a few years, and it’s been a great experience. The community is really nice—people are supportive and easy to get along with. The staff is friendly, always ready to help. The coaches are motivating, encouraging you to push yourself while keeping the vibe positive. Going here has helped me rediscover my love for exercise and movement. The gym is clean and well-kept, which I appreciate. I’d definitely recommend CrossFit of Fremont to anyone wanting to get active (again).”

“I had the absolute best experience at The Combine in Oakland! I was visiting the area for 3 weeks and felt instantly at home, they have a great community vibe! The gym itself is well equipped, the workouts were consistently challenging and well-structured. Coaches Ashley and Alex are incredible: tough but motivating, and always ready to offer adjustments to help you push yourself safely. The energy, the people, and the music (seriously, the music!) made every session something to look forward to. I’m so grateful I could keep up my training while away from home, and I can’t wait to come back!”

“Decided to make a switch to a new gym with better hours and less busy than the other options in the area. This anytime fitness piqued my interest and I'm happy to say I made the right decision. Garrison's tour was second to none and I appreciate how connected he is to the people who come to his gym. Definitely excited for the future here especially with the great amount of equipment available.”

“TTBFC is amazing! I’ve trained with Coach Amanda online from TX for the past 2 years. Even with the time change, Coach Amanda is extremely flexible and always available. Her skills and guidance have helped me get in the best shape I’ve been in a long time. Thanks to coach, I’m training for my first half marathon! I’m excited to see what I’m capable of next!”

“I have been going to Truve for classes since 2017 and I remain a loyal fan. Classes I have taken include TRX, dance, various iterations of Bootcamp and HIIT. The instructors are now friends after all this time. Come and check it out”

“I love the mix of cardio, strength and stretch at Spenga Danville. At the end of each session i come out energized and happy thanks to yoga.I have been coming here for 3 months, I feel stronger, energetic and happier. The owners and instructors are welcoming and a delight to talk with.Me and my spouse love spenga and thankful to be part of this community.”

“I love this location ! Everyone is very friendly, professional and dedicated. I felt welcomed since the first day I came in. The trainers will not allow you to give up! Thank you !-Evelyn H.”

“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!”

“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 started my 6 week challenge journey at EPG and since then I am obsessed with strength training! The coaches were very friendly. Different exercise drills everyday make the class go very fast. I love that Liz and Kevin will reach out to check out if I need help on my diet and offer suggestions to reach my fitness goals. I definitely recommend EPG if you want to workout in an environment that will motivate you to make it a lifestyle choice!”

“Bravo Zulu is important to my son. When he can't get a ride to his training sessions, he will walk -- 30 minutes, sometimes in the rain. He's excited to share what he's learned, and craves the discipline and challenge. At tournaments, I remind him that we're there to learn. While he loves collecting medals, win or lose, he's always ready to get right back to training at Bravo Zulu.”

“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.”

“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!”

“We explored this club while we were looking for safe (clean) place and activities for our kids. It feels like we finally found it. Its also very affordable. The owner is very friendly and very good with kids. They loved the place and the environment. I thought we were going to go one day a week, but now they want to go there almost every day. They have classes for all from beginners to advanced levels for all ages. I highly recommend this place.”

“I wanted to support a local black owned business in Oakland -- and this gym was the best choice EVER! Brother Gary has so much knowledge about bodybuilding and the prices for his training are phenomenal!”

“I’ve been attending a class for 3 weeks now and I love it! I’m learning the right way to exercise and many different ways also! I also signed up for 21 day challenge! Coach Drew is great and is very quick to answer questions about nutrition! I recommend trying CROSSFIT FAIRWAY PARK!”

“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.”

“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.”

“This gym is the best. Everyone here is so friendly and even at its busiest i’m never waiting for machines or racks. The owner is very involved and has fostered a great community.”

“I’ve been going to this studio for over a year and love the HIIT class with Carolyn. She has great energy and switches up the routines to keep the classes hard and engaging. Jaz is also a fantastic vinyasa instructor and love taking her classes.Only drawbacks of this studio is limited vinyasa classes after work hours and days offered. The latest vinyasa class is at 4 pm which often doesn’t work with my schedule. I also wish they had Tuesday and Thursday evening vinyasa classes!Owner is engaged and responsive.Edit 5/19Studio added evening vinyasa classes after hearing feedback from students! Very excited for expanded opportunities to take classes.”

“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.”

“Pacific Strength (PS) is as much a space for high-quality and skillfully led classes, as it is an exceptional opportunity to build a sense of community. PS has been established and operated based on inclusivity of people of all races, sizes, genders, sexual orientations and nationalities. This is vital for anyone who has ever struggled to have a sense of safety, belonging or basic human respect among their community—either within or outside of a wellness space.

The coaches at PS, including James who is the owner, are a team of athletes who have each been on their individual journey of fitness and teach from that experience to reach as many class participants as possible. In each class, they offer positive reinforcement, motivating music for inspiration, variations to meet the fitness level of all participants and individualized attention to ensure safety.

A membership at PS can become an investment that begins and/or sustains a healthy lifestyle that can go beyond the doors of PS. This is especially important for those of us who may feel a bit intimidated by going to the gym, unsure of where or how to start working out, need a “refresher” or want a cost-effective way to receive an almost daily well-rounded fitness program and coaching!”

“I’ve been a member at many different CrossFit gyms over the years and am so happy to have joined CF San Ramon a little over a year ago.

I highly encourage anyone looking for a new CF gym or anyone interested in trying CrossFit to check out CF San Ramon. I took several years off of CrossFit and only recently started working out consistently again, so for those that may be hesitant to try it, know that all workouts and movements are totally scalable based on level/comfort.

CF San Ramon is a gem. Lori and Tim are amazing and have built a great community! Come workout with hardworking, supportive people that feel like they could be your neighbors - the kind of neighbors you like :)”

“I’ve been going to CrossFit One World for about 14 months now, and it’s been a great experience. I first joined the Boot Camp program, and coaches JP and Moe really made a difference for me. I had no background in CrossFit or weightlifting and felt completely new to it all, but they explained the basics clearly, kept things motivating, and often stepped in to correct form so we built the right foundation. That gave me confidence and made the classes something I looked forward to instead of dreaded.

Over time, I enjoyed Boot Camp so much that I moved into CrossFit. I’m still a beginner in CrossFit and probably will be for a while but my weight loss has accelerated since making the switch, and I’ve started feeling stronger, healthier, and more positive overall.

So far, I’ve had classes with seven different coaches plus Brad, the owner, and every one of them has been dedicated, approachable, and engaged. Each coach has their own style, which makes it fun you pick up something new in every session. Brad himself is humble and very committed to building the kind of community that makes people want to keep coming back.

The best part of this gym is the great community of coaches n people. It’s full of people who push themselves, encourage each other, and make the hard work enjoyable. If you’re looking for a place that challenges you but also supports you, CrossFit One World is it.

Joining here has been one of the best decisions for my health and well-being.”

“I really like this gym. They have TRX and Crossfit classes available. I wish they would add a spin class but we shall see. I think CG members can get verified as Crossfit trainers as well. The cardio room is ok but there are about 4 or 5 rows of cardio equip. The weight room is big with lots of equipment but only one deadlift platform.”

“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.”

“Here the thing, my ex-wife trains with Nick Fontaine, and Josilyn I hear they are great kids, im in oregon so i get photo and ill say this, the change is nothing short of incredible, my ex looks (i dont want to say beautiful) as pretty as the first day we met, so i started to do the 3 day introduction, and i didn't lose weight but i think I losed 3 or 4 inches around my waist, i cant believe it, those kids know what there doing.”

“The gym is for tenants of PRC, so it's not public. You register on their website and sign in at the front each visit, but there's no limit to the number of visits. They have a good selection of equipment, with some free weights, several machines, and a range of cardio equipment. The hours are a bit limited, but it's still an extremely convenient gym.”

“I've been going to D's since 2016 and feel like it's home. My favorite classes are Ivania's Tues morning strength class and Jess' Thursday evening zumba class. They're incredible instructors and make all who come feel welcome. The gym has everything you need: free weights, machines, mats etc. I can't wait to see it once renovations are complete! The new owner has taken time to consider what an ideal women's gym should have. Once, it's all finished it will look and be THE place to workout in Castro Valley. Don't hesitate to check D's out!”
