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.

This place is EVERYTHING. I started coming to Body Mechanix in Feb 2022 with the intention of shedding a few lbs before my wedding in August and became addicted. My goals have changed -- instead of just looking good, I go to BM to feel good, to challenge my mind and body and to build community. I am genuinely happier and more fulfilled since becoming a member.Body Mechanix offers group classes every morning and a 6pm and 7pm class in the evenings. You can also sign up for open gym during the day. The classes vary between trainers and conditioning and strength focuses but ALWAYS leave you feeling satisfied and challenged. The trainers provide variations and encourage you to challenge yourself. When I first started coming to Body Mechanix I had never lifted a bar bell, I now know the safe mechanics of lifting and performing other exercises.Body Mechanix is all about community, the trainers and the BM team plans events, outings, parties, challenges, and celebrations for the members. The trainers care about the members and their clients and the memebers are all so friendly! It is so refreshing to be part of such a genuine community.Special S/O to the trainers current and past trainers -Terrell, Angelo, Nico, Melvin, Remy, Andy, Miguel, Jorge, Joseph. You guys are the best!

During the pandemic, I had moved from San Jose to Oakland, which placed me about an hour away from my home gym. I shopped around and couldn’t find something that fit my needs, until I realized there was a Body Mechanix walking distance from my home. Not only is my open gym membership reasonably priced for being a private gym, but the gym has all the equipment I need for lifting, as well as a ton of items I didn’t know I needed! There’s an abundance of resistance bands, mats, rollers, and other PT related stuff that I now use whenever a ligament injury flares up or when something just isn’t feeling right. On top of that, the staff is super friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming! If I’m doing something that needs correcting (which is often, since I’ve been off for two straight years), I’m given valuable advice and adjustments to form. I’ll also add that the clients are super friendly and nice as well, which is something that I had at my old gym and could not find at all the other places I tried out. Everyone is mindful about cleaning equipment and placing it back where it needs to be. The classes are also super engaging and thoughtfully programmed by their staff. In conclusion, you can’t go wrong by signing up at this gym, whether it’s open gym or classes or (shared)/personal training.One last thing I’ll add is if you choose an open gym membership, there is a white board that helps you program for yourself so you’re not going in aimlessly wondering what to do. If you have any questions on how to structure your workouts or how to do a movement, a coach is always present to help you if you need it! Walking into a gym and not really knowing where to start is an easy way to get discouraged and/or lose motivation. Body mechanix is set up so that you can have a plan and will want to continue going.10/10 would recommend

Body Mechanix -Laurel is an encouraging place to exercise at; it's got a community vibe. I've personally worked with Joe Concillion, who specializes in Functional Pattern. I trained with him for several months. He is motivating and knowledgeable. He takes the time to get to know the members and all who visit the gym. When he trains you, he takes the time to know what matters to you in life -and it's not all physical health, but a focus on whole health and wellness and how he integrates his training to impact what matters to you. He has a disciplined work-ethic, acts with integrity, and is a life-learner. His style of training is different from the typical movements you'll see in most gym/training sessions. I highly recommend training with him and also becoming a member at this gym. The gym is clean; has ample equipment; an outdoor space and the hours of operation are decent. The other trainers are also approachable, fun, and again share the same sentiment in making all who enter there, feel welcome. The classes are fun and challenging! The vibe, like I said, is like a community, I've met some pretty great people here and witnessed some epic transformations. This place is for everyone, even if you're new to the gym setting or have a lot of experience.

I don't think a better gym exists. As I approached getting back to do some movement after the pandemic, I struggled to find options that could really improve my body mechanics as well as my shape. The moment I stepped into Body Mechanix I had a feeling things may be different. I wanted to improve the way I run with the help of a personal trainer. The staff at Body Mechanix really listened to what I wanted to do, and that's just the way they operate. My trainer Angelo (hands down the best trainer I've ever had) helped me start from scratch. He patiently taught me the basics, and worked with me on every single movement. He's my guide basically in life. He helps me visualize every single step. The rest of the staff is also amazing. They're there to cheer you and encourage you along the way. I felt everyone there can help you see the potential you never thought you had. It's been about two years since I first joined and I owe it all to Body Mechanix if I'm running two minutes a mile faster then I was ever able to. I cannot be thankful enough to Angelo and all of the staff!

I spent around 3 months here and had a really good experience over the summer with these guys. The facility is compact but full of virtually everything you need to grow towards your personal fitness goals. It's an amazing upgrade to the planet fitness down the street because there are trainers at the gym all the time that can help you or correct your form when you're doing exercises and lifting weights, unlike planet fitness. Also awesome how they have rowing machines, squat/bench racks that aren't assisted, and a open area where you can workout outside!

This is a very inclusive and supportive local gym. It's super clean, and they have a ton of equipment. They make a point of knowing their clients names, the trainers all care about you, they have a great variety of group classes and I can really truly say I look forward to coming in every time. Can't recommend more highly. Also - they've definitely kicked my butt back in shape.

I cannot say enough great things about this gym. I've been coming to Body Mechanix for over a year and I could not have asked for a better environment to train. All of the trainers are so knowledgeable and professional, but above all they are amazing human beings and have created such a special community that caters to all fitness levels and goals. The effort that goes into making this gym feel comfortable for everyone who comes in is what sets BM apart from any other gym that I have been to and it truly has become a home away from home for me. Not to mention, I actually have gotten closer to my goals and see positive changes in my strength, endurance, and overall physical appearance. If your considering BM, this is your sign to go for it!
