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

Boutique, community-based workout studio in the heart of downtown (plus you can go get coffee next door)!I am at my fittest when going to Truve’s classes, and cancelled my YMCA membership to come here. Good variety, LOVE how they help you customize the moves based on your desired difficulty. We also met so many amazing people from this class and have seen them through life stages: grow families, build businesses, change homes. It’s really a special place to find a community. Which can be so hard!Allison, the owner of the gym, is a constant friendly face as well. You can tell she loves the people she serves and she’s passionate about her work! She will push you hard in classes but also takes feedback if there’s something you’d like to see in her studio. She actually played matchmaker, when my now-husband brought me to a Truve class, and is 100% one of the reasons we are together today!

I found Truve when searching for workout classes. What I found was community, friendship, and classes that really kicked my butt!I’ve gone to a broad range of classes at Truve and all of them focus on form, strength, and functional fitness. Special shoutout to classes hosted by Dee & Alison.At Truve it’s not about just burning calories. Instead, they’ll create a custom plan to your goals and help keep you accountable (& text you if you miss a class to make sure you are doing ok ?)In highly recommend Truve for people starting their fitness journey & others looking for something new to supercharge their routine!

Truve is an amazing place to be for everyone! As a practitioner I got to share space with incredible people -- fellow practitioners and clients alike -- and had a great experience. I am grateful to have been surrounded by some of the best, most compassionate, and inclusive community of people. The line up of practitioners are super knowledgeable and genuinely care for others no matter who you are. Alison was the sweetest to work with and helped make my time at Truve more than worth it. If you're looking for a space in Oakland to be supported in your journey, whether professionally or personally, Truve is the place to be!

Truve is a true melting pot of different people on different fitness journeys, all working to achieve their fitness goal. Truve is a welcoming place, with excellent trainers and a wholesome environment and I’ve never felt out of place, regardless of how consistent (or in my case, inconsistent) I have been in my fitness.

I love this place. All the people are nice and welcoming. Super diverse, all ages, genders, physical abilities, and services offered. I’ve been with Melanie for almost 2years and it’s always the best part of my week. She is an amazing trainer.

I’ve been training with Ashley at Truve Fit for about a year and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I have had several personal bests cycling and the balance work has helped my golf swing as well. The place is always welcoming and there is parking!

If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be your first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment.Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try.The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did.This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors.Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored.Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous.
