Pac Strength is THE CrossFit gym for Oakland. James, his crew of coaches and the programming are all top tier. If you're looking to get fit, this is the place. ??

Great gym, great instructors, great atmosphere, I have been unable to commit to any gym over the decades until I found this place. My strength has at least tripled. I show up when I can I am not an overzealous member. Nevertheless I am much stronger, agile, nimble. I recommended just show up.

One of the best places to get a killer workout and sweat together. Very large and open space with a lot of free weights. Great community and coaches.

Classes were over packed to the point of being unsafe. Gym was dirty/ dusty and staff was blatantly rude. I mean, as a new member I did not receive a welcoming energy. I guess you have to be a certain "type" of person to like this place and I am not that type. Then again, I don't enjoy running through crowds of Whole Foods shoppers or lake Merritt tourists as part of my workout. Programming was good but that's about the only positive of my experience.

Owner's buddy committed assault.and battery, including probable kidnapping with fraudulent consent against my person in an attempt to get me to delete this review. Police report filed. To owner: you may wish to consult an attorney before arguing or justifying in a response, as you may be liable for implicitly or explicitly allowing this crime to take place.

My experiences with Pacific Strength have been fantastic - it's a great community, with knowledgable, friendly trainers (which are the top most important things for me!). Great equipment too, and great programming. Check it out!

Owner James is a very friendly guy! Great vibe in this place. As a trainer I was very thankful to hear that he was open to new trainers joining their environment.

I was super intimidated to join a new gym and try Crossfit for the first time after months of being isolated and less than active during the pandemic. James and the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the membership is also warm & inviting. Facilities are clean and well-stocked and the location can’t be beat.

Some of the best workouts I've done. The coaches are super attentive and will always be by your side. Didn't need to try more places around. Thank you for having me!

5 STARS for Pacific Strength. My husband and I have been going to PacStrength since 2019 and have been doing CF since 2015. We joined the gym shortly after moving to the East Bay. James, the owner, is down-to-earth and very personable. He is very thoughtful in his programming and takes pride in his work. The coaches are all great - knowledgeable and supportive wherever you are in your fitness journey. People often question the parking situation at the gym, but we have never run into parking issues. There is usually plenty free parking across the street from the gym on Harrison, and if that is full on very rare occasions, there is an abundance of metered parking. The members are awesome too! We've met some good friends through the community. James also regularly invests in the gym - buying and upgrading equipment. They have a full locker room too with showers which is super convenient. Before joining PacStrength, we did check out several of the gyms in the area and hopped around. None of them stuck. PacStrength is definitely the box to workout at!
