I’ve always struggled to make the best use of a gym membership and stay motivated… given that, I can confidently say this is the best gym I’ve ever signed up for. Classes are small and there’s a friendly and communal feel with people who want to see both themselves and others grow and succeed. I’m definitely at a beginner level when it comes to this kind of training but it hasn’t felt like an impediment. Fabien is a phenomenal and kind instructor, he gives solid individual guidance (classes are small enough for that) as well as encouragement and correction when I’m struggling with form, and he can clearly identify which parts of my body need extra strengthening. He checks in on me in between classes giving tips for at home exercises, stretches and nutrition as he sees health holistically in terms of body, mind and spirit. If you’re looking for a personal trainer he does that too and no doubt he’s a great one. Overall Ownitrx is just a really encouraging atmosphere for getting healthy and I’m so glad I joined. I feel great after every class. If you’re on the fence, don’t wait, or at least come do some trial classes and see what I mean!

Ownit Rx is an aboslute gem! As the Owner and a Coach, Fabien sets the tone with his wonderful energy and vibe, creating a supportive and motivating atmosphere. Fabien is attentive--he helped me correct my deadlift formヽ( ᐛ )ﾉ and he knows his stuff--✧･ﾟ: *form over everything*:･ﾟ✧Beyond workouts, the gym organizes social events and challenges, fostering a strong sense of community and celebration. I had a blast doing the Spartan Race with the gym and the food at the Christmas party was fire~

I came in town to visit a friend and she invited me to OWNIT RX. I haven’t exercised in literal years and I have to admit I was intimidated. Fabien welcomed me with open arms! He adjusted the workouts so that I could participate in a meaningful way. The adjustments made the workout manageable, but trust me I was exhausted by the end!I also want to shout out the members. They were so incredibly warm and welcoming. I live in LA, so I don’t know a lot of people in the Bay Area. If I moved to the area, ai would DEFINITELY join, not just for the incredible workout, but to establish myself in an amazing and supportive community.Thank you OWNIT RX for such an incredible experience! I’ll be back!

I recently joined Ownit RX gym and I must say, it's been an amazing experience so far! The gym has great equipment and a variety of workout options to choose from. The trainers are very knowledgeable and always willing to help with any questions or concerns I have about my workout routine. The gym also has a great community feel to it, with friendly staff and members who are always willing to offer motivation and support. I particularly love the group classes and the personal training sessions, which have pushed me to achieve my fitness goals. Overall, I highly recommend Ownit RX gym to anyone looking for a top-notch workout experience.

OwnIt has really created something special and unique in Oakland. The classes are challenging but can be modified for any level. In addition to great workouts and awesome trainers, they’ve created a genuine community. I’ve made friends and have just really enjoyed the supportive and inclusive environment. Come check them out. You won’t regret it!

Ive enjoyed finding and joining this new community at Ownit! A special shout out to the 6am crew that makes the whole space a fun learning environment. We workout hard and also discuss home buying, travel, kids, pop culture etc. Very happy to workout here! Thanks, Fabien & Amarra!

I‘be been training here with Juliet Barton for a couple years now. Our workouts are rigorous — I go harder in my warmups with her than I used to in my own actual workouts! So grateful to have this in my life. It makes work and playing with my kid way easier when I have more strength and energy and focus.

I've been an OwnIt Rx member for over a year, now. But prior to joining, I'd see Fabien and members working out. Fabien was friendly as were the members. They all invited me to join a class. I didn't until about one year later. I felt immediately welcomed at OwnIt. The vibes were cool, the people are great, and we all had fun working out together. The best part, is no judgement! Everyone is supportive and that meant a lot considering I hadn't worked out in a few months prior to joining. I continue to see my progress and I'm so proud of me! Come get your medicine!!

I've been going to this gym since it opened. I've tried other gyms before this one, and was disappointed in the workout program because I never felt like I got a solid workout. Here at Own-it you'll definitely get the results your looking for as long as you show up and DO THE WORK. (I got the 6-pack abs and sweat to prove it)The coaches are great people and the members make great workout partners. Its the workout you'll hate but love the results. So come and get your medicine !

What a gym! Fabien and Amara run a great workout regimen for all skill levels. Personally, I was very out of shape coming out of Covid and was in need of some patient, supportive coaching to get me back to where I’d been in 2020. This was just what the doctor ordered and I’m very pleased with the experience. Wonderful, tight knit community of athletes, too.

I've been going to Ownit for about 5 months and it's a workout that's become habit -- which says a lot!The owner, Fabian, has put together a program that is both sustainable and effective. Every day is something new, and every exercise can be adjusted to fit your skill level. There are bodies of every level of fitness and shape that come to this gym. The community here is also a very welcoming and positive bunch, which is a cherry on top. Couldn't recommend it enough. First class is free. So try it out, what do you have to lose?

OI RX is legit. It’s more than a gym, it’s a lifestyle. Yes, you get your money worth with the workouts but you also connect with the community and get to work on other factors like foods, sleep, mental health, etc. Fabien is the man! He is a natural coach because he knows just the right amount of push and challenge to keep you engaged and making gains without killing you. Don’t wait. Reach out, try a class. Now is the time to put yourself first!

Ownit Rx is special. It is not only a gym, but a community of open-minded, kind, and passionate people. Every day, I am challenged to be a stronger, healthier version of myself. Even on days when I don't feel like working out, I am happy to be at Ownit because of the coaches and people.I am personally not very self-motivated to work out on my own, so I love that Ownit focuses on group training. You get individual instruction because the classes are small. The workouts also are a little different each time, so you never get bored.All in all, words cannot describe the overwhelming amount of love I have for Fabien and the gym that he has built. If you are at all curious, I highly recommend you come check it out. You will not be disappointed.

I worked with Fabien at Ownit Rx for individual personal training and just joined a group class. Fabien is a great trainer. (I actually worked with him previously and found him again to help me get in shape.) He’s professional, friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. He uses a variety of moves and activities to establish and build overall strength and fitness. He expects hard work, but he won’t push too far and will provide modifications to weights and movements as needed. This is a no-nonsense but friendly environment designed for people at any level to get fit. I highly recommend Fabien and Ownit Rx.

Ownit RX is the best and coolest gym I have ever been a member of. The owner creates new workouts every single day for the classes. Creating new and effective workouts is something that takes time and is something that I would not be able to do on my own so it is a huge help to have someone else to do this for me! The owner was also able to give me diet tips and as a result of this and the workouts I lost 10 lbs within my first couple months of joining. This gym is small an close knit. The members know and care about each other and help each other out in times of need. Events are organized outside of the gym for everyone to get together and have a good time which is something that is really cool and unique about Ownit. The great communication between members and the owner as well as the ability to keep doors open and the space well ventilated is great for covid prevention. Everyone helps wipe down equipment between sets and at the end of class as well. Overall this gym is an amazing place to be a part of!
