Fitness & Gyms near El Sobrante, CA

“I have been to many gyms in my life and have had 3 other personal trainers, and 9Round with Dave and Ovi is hands-down the best I have ever been to! I usually have a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym but I look forward to my 9Round workouts every week. When you enter, everyone greets you warmly. While you work out, trainers and other gym-goers cheer you on and motivate you. When you leave, you're congratulated on a great workout and walk out of the door with a smile on your face. It truly is a wonderful experience from start to finish. Be ready to work, though! 9Round provides a high intensity, full body workout. They also offer body mapping and consultation, which has helped me orient my workout and weight loss goals. Dave also provides me with tons of nutrition tips and challenges that have made a huge difference for me! I truly cannot say enough good things about this gym, so sign up already!”

“Joe and his team at Pinole X-Fit run a REALLY AWESOME operation. We've worked with them both for gym AND ninja kids parties. BOTH are run with kindness and efficiency, heart and soul. As a customer of the gym "in the old days" I'm confident in saying our local Pinole bootcamp training spot is Better Than Ever! It's an excellent local family business borh as a gym and for special events. The owner is patient, responsible and responsive and gives each step of your membership personal attention and dedication w no pressure or hype.Joe was prompt and hos attention to timelines and commitments are a REAL stand out. We're lucky to be customers!”

“Absolutely love the clean and friendly atmosphere at this gym! The circuit training is so dynamic and keeps me motivated throughout my workout. The trainers are fantastic to work with, providing excellent guidance and support. Highly recommend this place for a positive fitness experience!”

“OTF is a great workout, It’s balanced and adaptable, fun and challenging at the same time.
The Solano studio in particular is close to my heart: awesome staff, super friendly and always helpful. Shout out to coach Noah for always encouraging everyone and having the most energy early in the morning and also to coach Maddie for blasting the best music!”

“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.”

“After all of these years, I finally found a gym home. I work with Jenny who is an excellent trainer who customizes your workouts to achieve your goals. She is also very good at adjusting routines to stave off workout boredom and to factor in how my body feels on any given day. Shirley the owner and all of the staff are welcoming and encouraging. It’s a small operation but has all that you need if you are serious about your fitness goals. I was referred by a friend, and I have since referred another friend who works with Sachiko who is also terrific. I am a tough grader but I highly recommend RGym.”

“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!”

“I LOOOOVE orangetheory Emeryville! Prior to OTF, I have never been able to establish any type of consistent exercise routine. I now go here 4+ times a week and I enjoy every minute.

The coaches are always very encouraging- they will get to know you personally, correct your form, and celebrate your progress. The front desk staff are also very friendly- they make me feel welcomed, keep me updated on events and challenges, and help me when I have questions about my membership & devices.

The workouts are fun & effective and the template is different every day, so you always feel challenged. I have been able to run faster, train for longer distances, recover faster, and lift heavier. OTF also improves my mental health and I feel happy coming here every day.”

“Thank you for bring a ninja gym to the heart of Richmond that place really need something like that for the kids I'm from Central Richmond me and my wife and when we are around the area we will be stopping by to check out your gym thank you once again sir for bring that to the community God bless you”

“My experience at this fitness center was nothing short of incredible. When I had to cancel/ freeze my account due to job relocation, CT, the Manager, went above and beyond to assist me. His friendly and understanding nature made the process a breeze. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you, CT, for your exceptional service and kindness!Also, this is probably the best fitness location I’ve visited. It has new equipment, friendly staff, is very spacious, is never busy, and has excellent outdoor lighting. It is always clean and organized.”

“I was a member at Grassroots CrossFit for a year and loved everything about it. As a coach-owned gym, you can feel how much commitment and work that Kris and the coaching team (shout out to Patrick and Vini) put in to make sure every member feels welcome and gets the best out of the work out regardless of their familiarity with crossfit. The box is airy, spacious, and well equipped. And other members are really nice too! Highly recommended!”

“I almost rejoined Planet Fitness yesterday. So glad I didn't. I wanted a real body building gym. I found it at Olympic Health Club. Brody saw me, heard me, and helped with my first workout. I am so grateful to be back working on building muscle mass and without any purple or Tootsie Rolls on the counter.”

“This gym has it all. I've been a member here for several years and I love the selection of machines and free weights. No waiting for equipment, welcoming atmosphere, amazing personal trainers that go above and beyond, clean locker rooms. Very much worth the price! And you get access to the Alameda gym which is their second location.”

“WOW!!! We were in for a sweaty treat. Charise, the owner and trainer was super nice and welcoming. It was my partner and I's very first time at 9Round and it did not disappoint. She was very patient and took the time to go over all the stations with us while still balancing time to work with the other more experienced clients. She cheered for us and motivated us the whole way through. Definitely coming back!”

“Its was a good gym when I first started coming here 18 months ago but now everytime I come in there I can't even workout because too many people, always crowded, good people but over crowded”

“The Soft Acrobatic series is so fun! Mike leads us through movement patterns individually and then combine them into mini-flows, so that by the end of class we put everything together into a slightly longer sequence. Mike is excellent at teaching and giving corrections, and everyone is very encouraging so that we get to feel a sense of community and belonging.”

“I am a first time CrossFitter at age 62. I have always worked out, but for the last year very sporadically, and I've gotten WAY out of shape. I needed a good coach, encouragement, and since ACCOUNTABILITY!

Dave is an expert fitness trainer; he teaches challenging classes, and also takes the time to teach you the correct technique so you don't get injured. If your intention is to get whole body fit in a challenging and encouraging atmosphere, CrossFit Redux is the place. No complaints, 5 stars.”

“Good people, good coaches, come join the family. Always new people joining and putting in work, come try it with Master Cheetah and all the awesome folks here. No matter what level you are, no experience, hella experience, you will have a blast.”

“I have been attending this gym for almost a year now and it has been great! Coach D is amazing! He will keep you encouraged and help you with your lifestyle changing fitness goals. He is very knowledgeable about his equipment and each muscle/area of the body. The gym is always clean and tidy, no issues there! Coach D is flexible with his time and keeps you motivated!! If you are looking for someone/ place that is motivating and willing to challenge you with your fitness goals - This is it!”

“Harold is truly a great trainer. I came here on a whim because I was on vacation and needed to get a work out session in. He made sure I worked off all the food I ate on vacation! ? if I were closer I’d definitely be a regular client. He’s the best, he’s knows his stuff and he’s super attentive.”

“I have been going to Cypher Health & Fitness for 8 months. I love the gym. The trainers are great people. Everything I want out of a CrossFit Gym. Highly recommend it.”

“HH fitness is great! Xabi is a wonderful instructor who pushes you to get a great workout in every time. He's super energetic and supportive and as a result, the gym has a real community feel. Xabi offers a variety of classes (spin, weights, Bosu ball, etc.) and the exercises he leads you through change constantly such that it's never boring or predictable, which I really appreciate. I moved out of California and still make time to see Xabi and attend class whenever I'm back in town!”

“My husband and I attend classes 3-4 days a week. We love the instructor lead program and see results in our weight, balance and strength. We are both retired, and like to bike, hike, kayak and ski. Bridges program is the perfect training to keep us healthy and able to do other sports without injury. It is almost like having a personal trainer without the cost. Each session can be tailored to individual needs. It is also a small community of like minded individuals who encourage each other to keep fit and to keep with the program!”

“My kids joined their boxing class. They are actually very excited for the class. Th coaches are firm but considerate when it comes to someone new and shy. I have observed their adult trainings as well, they work with you closely and most of all no judgement very welcoming.”

“Christian has been amazing! Being a martial arts studio owner and instructor for over 40 years I know what a good trainer is. I started my online training with him back in May of this year and I’ve lost 28 lbs in 23 weeks. At age 63 I feel like I’m back in the shape I was in when I was in my 20’s. Over the years I’ve had several personal trainers. I’ve enjoyed Christian’s program the most. His diet plans are perfect for my needs and his choice of workout routines are also great! My goal is to continue to train with him. I can only imagine how much better the experience would be if I could train live with him so he could push me beyond my limits.”

“I cannot more highly recommend OKC! I have been training here with Denis Vasilev since January 2023. I joined simply with the intention of getting a good workout with kettlebells, yet almost immediately started the deeper dive into kettlebell sport. Denis is incredible to work with - knowledgeable, passionate, and motivating. His focus on technique and personalized training regimens has been incredibly helpful and appropriately challenging, especially for someone like me who was new to kettlebell sport. I've now competed a few times and love it.The atmosphere here is excellent, equipment solid, lots of camaraderie, great mix of other guys and gals, some who compete, some who do not. And bonus as it's a dog friendly locale!”

“I recently decided to sign up and give this gym a try since it was in my neighborhood, and it was exclusively for women, and I’m so happy I did! I don’t typically like big crowds, especially in a gym setting, so this place was perfect for me! When I went in to sign up, they were having a class, and the staff and gym members that were there were so nice and welcoming.Having 24 hour safe and secure access to the gym is a big plus for me and allows me to be able to fit working out in my schedule as it allows. The gym is equipped with everything you need to have an awesome workout session, and at the times I go, there isn’t more than a few people in at a time, which is a huge plus for me.It’s been a few weeks since I’ve signed up, and I have found that I have been attending the gym more often than I normally would when I was with a larger commercial gym, and I feel like my work outs are more focused and efficient since I feel so comfortable in the space. It feels like my own home gym away from home!! You can really curate your work outs and experience to what you want or need. If you like group exercises and a community of women to work out with – they have that OR If you’re more into a more private, personal gym experience like myself, this gym has that too!! Really the best of both worlds. If you’re on the fence about joining, give the free trial a chance, you will be happy you did!”

“My experience at Berkeley Muay Thai & Fitness has been great. Chris and his team do a great job at meeting clients where they are as well as maintaining a friendly/fun experience. I highly recommend this gym.”
