Hands down the best CrossFit gym I have ever been to besides my home gym here in Chicago. I visited as a walk-in last week and loved HGX so much that I came back for a second class... while on vacation, no less. I had Jazmin and Julie as my coaches during my two visits - they were welcoming and gave me excellent feedback on form. The broader HGX community is also incredibly friendly and diverse in profession, age, race, culture, and CrossFit levels. Thank you HGX for being a highlight of my Bay Area trip.Advice for travelers: Eat all the good food the Bay Area has to offer, and work it off at HGX :)- Matthew, Chicago

Coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming to all ages and skill levels. Amazing culture. The workouts scale to whatever level you are at. There are multiple time slots every day so you always have the opportunity to train. Every day is a new exercise so it never gets redundant.

Phong is an absolutely amazing trainer. I'm a busy CEO with limited time and availability. He is very accommodating to my changing schedule.His approach to training is combo coach and teammate. His repertoire and diversity is outstanding from Mui Thai kickboxing to Western Style boxing, strength training to full body workouts. I'm very proud of my results working with Phong just 1 day a week. Now I'm coming in with my 12 year old son 1 extra day per week to do workouts together. I strongly recommend Phong to anyone willing to put in the work.

I have been training here with a personal trainer, Phong Le, for several years. The gym is ultra-clean and well-equipped. It was recently expanded and looks great. I love training here.Crossfit gyms can be a little intimidating, but this one is friendly and welcoming, though with a dedicated workout vibe. The gym offers special classes (such as for seniors and young people). Crossfit can always be scaled to your ability, and Phong is particularly good at this. I am in my 60s, and training with Phong here has done wonders for me. He is the best trainer! I am stronger and more flexible than ever.Plenty of parking and easy access to the freeway.

Great gym! Knowledgeable coaches, friendly gym-goers who are willing to push hard to get better, and owners who care! I've definitely gotten stronger since I joined the gym as a novice. The workouts can always be modified according to your athletic ability and comfort level. If you want to build strength and get stronger, here is the place to be!

HGX has great youth / teen crossfit training programs. The classes are 3x a week and provide a good balance of cardio and youth appropriate strength exercises that make a great supplement to youth sports programs.

I think this is a great gym with great people but it was just not for me. I used to train with a personal trainer and was still pretty new. I wanted to try CF so with my experienced partner and another friend, we popped into HGX. It was great, the fundamentals were amazing and we attended a bunch of classes but over time, it became mentally draining because everyone at this gym was CF athletes and I always felt unseen/incompetent at the end of the workout which was the complete opposite of what I thought I would accomplish in a CF workout. I gave a chance to most of the trainers there, my absolute favorite is Julie because she takes the time to teach you. I did love the classes where there were lesser people so you did not feel like you were competing and being a hindrance in the class. All in all, I would say, this isn't very beginner-friendly. Probably the best place if you are already into CF and fit. I ended up losing motivation for the most part.

Where do I even begin? I guess I'll start with the fact that when I moved further up the peninsula from the South Bay, I had to leave my old gym behind. I loved that place and didn't think I'd be able to replace it, but less than a year later, HGX has definitely secured its spot in my heart. I'd done group fitness, but never Crossfit. I was a college athlete familiar with barbell movements, however the gymnastics was all very new to me. I love the fun challenge that all the new components bring, and even more so, I love how it never gets "easier" -- you get stronger, you get tougher, you learn how to compete better, but you never walk away from a workout feeling as though it was too easy. That's not something you're going to feel at every gym, and HGX has mastered its programming to give you that sense of a positive challenge to enable you to make positive changes. What really stands out here as well is the sense of community. The athletes and coaches alike are so friendly, social, and supportive -- I love coming to noon classes and knowing I'll see my friends and be able to work out with them! The 2020 benefit is that they've managed to safely stay open -- at the beginning of the year they ran Zoom classes while we were all stuck at home, and allowed us to rent equipment. Now that we're back in the facility they keep the class sizes small, require masks when you're not in the taped off box around your personal squat rack area, have spaces outside if you choose to stay outdoors, and sanitize equipment before/after classes. They also check temps at the door and are very thorough and safe when it comes to Covid-19 guidelines. Bottom line: if you're looking for a gym that will make you truly look forward to working out, you've gotta come here. See you at noon class
