Fitness & Gyms in South San Francisco, CA

“At TFT, I have found the gym environment that has helped me thrive and reach health and fitness goals that I didn't think I could reach. The coaches are truly invested in my growth and keep me accountable to myself. If you're looking for a gym that is for EVERYONE, join TFT.”

“I've been going to Fernando for about a year now for personal training.I've had several coaches in weightlifting, bodybuilding, yoga, and crossfit. I've also worked with several physical therapists over the years for injuries both acute and chronic (broken arm, neck pain).My goals have changed over the years. I'm in my 30s and work at a desk most of the day. My primary goal now is health and wellness. I want to be strong and mobile.No coach has contributed to my wellbeing as much as Fernando.I haven't felt this capable and pain-free in years. Many of the things he notices and addresses remind me of sessions with extremely talented physical therapists, and the workouts he develops challenge and engage me in ways workouts often haven't before.I could write a lot here but I'll cut it short there. If you want to hear more, or are a desk worker with a lot of chronic pain, reach out to Fernando. I would be more than happy to personally reiterate these things and more. You are not likely to find another like this dude. 100% well worth it.”

“Jim's Sports Palace started me on a path of physical training that I am still following today. My membership at the Sports Palace began in 1989 and in my two years there I learned the fundamentals of weight training that I am still using to good effect. I moved away from the bay area years ago, but I'll never forget my time at the Sports Palace. Thanks Jim!”

“This Wednesday, I came here expecting a HIIT group class but got a personal training session from Fernando instead since I was the only student. I learned a lot of new exercises and also where my weaknesses are! Fernando was a great trainer and very patient with me. I'd also previously been by for a Zumba class where it was 1:2 teacher:student ratio and also found the instructor very kind and patient with me (a first time Zumba student). I would recommend both classes to newbies!”

“I've lifted for a few years now, spread out over time. But coming to Coach Mark's gym I quickly realized I don't have a few years of lifting experience, I have the same year of lifting experience repeated for a few years. What happened? Poor form, injuries, overtraining, ego. In my first session with Mark I immediately learned that my form led to instability. Fixing that, I felt my squat secure and confident. This is the theme of Fullgrip. Low ego, form focused, and strategically shifting to heavier weights so its sustainable in the long term. While I lifted, I saw around me both beginner, novice, intermediate and heavy lifters. One person was squatting 500 for one, while another was repping less than a plate. I would recommend this gym highly if you are someone who resonates with the above. If you have commitment issues, and needs a more personal touch to kick your ass if you start getting off track, I would say a more 1-1 personal trainer is probably ideal. But if you have the right commitment to show up a few times a week on schedule, and are looking for someone to level you up past plateaus in a safe, long term effective way, I highly recommend FullGrip Barbell and coach Mark.”

“Can't believe I have never been to the South City location. After a 15-hour plane adventure decided to stop in to fight off jet lag. Front desk staff were super friendly and the studio itself is excellent with a nice layout. Coach Raquel was a total pro, encouraging and friendly. With chargers right there, I might have to stop in more often when I'm in the area. Another great OTF experience!”

“Quite spacious gym located inside the office building at Tower 2. I recently signed up after leaving my primary gym. I had some must-haves when joining a new gym and this gym met it all. It's super clean, spacious, all the equipment I need. For public access, there are no weekend hours but M-F they're open 5am to 9pm. Bonus, there is also free parking.”

“Love this place! My 5 year old has been coming here for a couple of years. They do such a nice job making every class different and fun. He has never once said he didn't want to go, always looks forward to it. He also does a nearly perfect cartwheel already”
