HEY EVERYONE! I can't believe I'm writing my first UF review after nearly 11 years. In 2012, I decided it was time to reclaim my health. I did some research online and came upon Noah, Urban Fitness. Noah and his team of PROs have helped me stay as fit as possible over the years. Even when I've lost interest, Noah will send me a text, call, or email to see how I'm doing. Urban Fitness isn't only a gym. It's a group of people that care about staying healthy and getting to know one another. At times you may not feel like doing anything that day, but the environment of team training will motivate you. Even if it is only for 15 minutes of the 50-minute tough workout. His workouts will take you to the edge of your capabilities and push you much further than you think your body can go! Beyond that Noah and the team of pros a great humans and extremely knowledgeable. If I wasn't constrained by the Yelp ranking system, I'd give Urban Fitness more than 5 stars. #loveUF

This place is my sanctuary! One of the best gyms in the east bay and a wonderful option if you want something outside of powerlifting or CrossFit. I've been a member since 2018ish and I'm in the best shape of my life in my late 30s. Great people and a great environment. Worth the $$. I save so much time not having to program my own routines or wait for equipment to use, and love the fun and motivating energy that comes with group training vs working out alone at a box gym. All i got to do is show up, and I know an hour later I will have accomplished a workout I'm proud of. Highlight of my day. Thanks y'all!

good alternative to 24 hour fitness and planet fitness if a variety in my workout is needed occasionally. i need variety to keep from being board. location is easy to find but i don't care for the parking.

If I can give this "business" no stars I would. I was recommend this gym by a friend and everything was going okay until my encounter with the "owner" Noah. He needs to take a lesson in customer service ASAP!!! He is extremely condescending, rude and a bigot!! He made me feel so uncomfortable that I don't even want to get into details. Noah, you need to do better and learn how to treat people and particularly women better. It may not mean much to you but, you've lost a customer and I will def not recommend others to your establishment. Maybe you should take some customer service classes.

I have been coming to this gym for years and it is my favorite part of the day, especially after a stressful workday. With the coaches help, I've lost over 40 pounds of fat in the span of a year and gained muscle mass.Urban Fitness emphasizes using free weights, focusing on form and technique before lifting heavy. You'll find that while you're able to squat heavy on machines, poor posture and bad habits from not bracing your core does little in the real world. The style of training can be transferred to every day chores from carrying bags of groceries up the stairs in one trip, to lifting your fridge while remodeling your kitchen. I never realized how little I could lift on my own without machines involved. The workouts are class based and has a coach demonstrating each set and correcting form.As intimidating as a class workout sounds, the community and friendship bond you will find in class are unmatched. It's really easy to make friends, especially if you're someone working from home and need a change of pace, this is a good place to go. The people I've met here became my family. We go on snowboarding trips and run spartan races together. It's not CrossFit and all levels are welcomed. The highly trained staff can provide all different levels of workouts whether you're new, looking for a challenge, or injured. There's something for everyone.

It's always clean and staff is very friendly and helpful. So many cardio machines you don't need to wait to use. I love it

Update: what could have been a simple : "whoops, our bad we forgot to turn off scheduling while we closed our business for the holidays" turned into an oddly rude and personal response from the owner of the gym. Strange way to conduct yourself as a business owner.

I'm an HR Representative in the East Bay and signed up for two virtual group workout sessions for my team! I had such a great experience throughout scheduling, participating and paying. Jenny helped me get sorted out with the right class for the team and paired me up with some incredible coaches. Jenny was responsive, fun and just all around awesome. Also shout out to Jesse and Gabby! You can really tell all the coaches care about what they do and are so good at pumping up the room. I did work with two other coaches and I can not for the LIFE of me remember their names. I'm sorry! If you see this, know you are awesome too! Honestly a great experience from a corporate perspective, but also just personally! I will be looking into signing myself up for UFO! Thanks teams! Now to go rest my sore BODY.

Awesome outdoor workout! I went on a beautiful Wednesday morning and got my butt kicked, and it was wonderful. All of the coaches and other participants were very kind and helpful. Though I didn't sign up for the membership this time around, I look forward to it being an option for me in the near future.

Wow. I felt great after my first session. I'm a bit out of shape but hopefully not for much longer.

Amazing place. Always warm and welcoming whether you are brand new or current client. Truly love the atmosphere and the family vibe. Also they hold you accountable for not being in for a while.... ooops! Lol but, seriously, that's what helps you maintain goals. Very thankful I've joined!
