Had an awesome experience being a member at The Yard during my time in SF! The gym is clean, has friendly staff, and has a great selection of weightlifting equipment. The main draw though is the pod reservations! A lot of gyms in the city are super crowded in the morning and evening, so it is super nice to be able to reserve a pod/rack for yourself at The Yard! I never had a trouble getting a reservation, even during peak hours in the morning. It was great to be able to zone in and have a good workout without having to stress about waiting for equipment.

Easily one of the best gyms in San Francisco, providing a top notch experience for both personal trainers training clients and individuals looking to get a good, uninterrupted workout in. There's no need to wonder if you will get a squat rack or have space to do your routine. You can easily book space ahead of time, even at the busy morning or afternoon timeslots that other gyms in sf are super packed.
Definitely worth checking out if you are new and looking for a great gym or if you have tried other gyms in sf and are frustrated with how busy they can be or how long your workout is due to waiting for equipment.

I feel very fortunate to have found The Yard for training clients and working out myself! I love always knowing I'll have access to the equipment I'll need for a session. It's clean, there are towels, showers, and everyone is really friendly! Equipment is high quality and diverse. Highly recommend!

I switched from Equinox to this gym and I'm glad I did. There are a lot of racks (9 in total I think). And you can reserve them, so you don't have to wait until someone else is done to use the equipment. Also Josh at the front desk is super friendly and helpful.

What a gem of a gym! The pod system is an introvert's paradise. You can book your pod and have the space you need to do your workout. In other words, you won't have people hovering by your squat rack waiting for you to finish your sets. The barbell basics classes are also fantastic and a supportive/fun environment. As someone who is getting back into weightlifting after the pandemic, the classes have been invaluable in getting me back into the routine. The class trainers are great. They will check your form and make sure you are doing the lifts correctly. I highly recommend this gym and the classes.

As a personal trainer, I couldn't ask for more from this place. Having a personal pod with all the equipment you need saves me so much time by not having to wait around.
Gym is extremely clean and very aesthetic, and the employees there a super friendly and helpful!

Awesome experience. Beautiful gym space, great equipment, clean and friendly staff/patrons. Will be back!
+ All the equipment you need to get a killer lift in at your personal “pod”
+ Good ambiance, music playing but not too loud so you could have your own music in.
+ turf indoors or outdoors to stretch and warm up
+ two showers! Huge for lifting in the morning before work
+ Juan at the front desk was friendly, showed me around the space and got me to my pod. Answered all of my questions about rates, memberships and facilities.
+ monthly rate is $270 for unlimited sessions, with no fees or lock ins.
+ in February 2024 they are offering two free classes

Pretty good facilities and privacy but quite a shame that the Mill Valley location supposedly has calibrated Eleiko KG plates but the SF one doesn’t :/// I get the main selling point is for introverts who want to work out quietly and not wait for anything but it’d be nice to at least have the same equipment across locations

My favorite gym in SF hands down! It’s independently owned and operated, which I love and you get your own rack and weights. If you’re looking for a no nonsense gym where you don’t have to worry about waiting for equipment this is it!

Finally a gym where you don't have to worry about finding a rack! I'm naturally an introvert, and I love the feeling of having my own space to lift, especially in the city.They offer a family plan, which works perfectly for myself and my partner.Joe is very welcoming too. Literally zero complaints!

This is the best gym membership experience i've ever had. I found out about this place by way of hiring a personal trainer who recommended meeting at the Yard for our sessions. Immediately I was hooked. The concept of reserving your own space for a limited time was pretty eye opening and new to me compared to traditional gyms. The space and equipment is extremely well maintained and well thought out. Joe is an amazing owner and has always been very accommodating in having the gym best fit my needs. Would def recommend to anyone looking for a low key type gym with super high ROI.

I love working out at The Yard! You have the option to personal train, come solo or take group classes. It has everything you need and I love that they have ski ergs!! You don’t see them often in fitness facilities and they’re my favorite. Highly recommend you come check it out!

A great location, facility and space. All the equipment I need and no need to wait to use equipment or worry about getting a bench. I had my own with a rack and dumbbells all session!
