“Absolutely hands down the best full body cardio no impact workout in the Bay Area. This is nothing line reformer, it is next level and makes me sweat like a rented mule! Instructors are all top notch. Owner is awesome!!!! Bith studios are immaculate and cute!”

“This place is awesome! The coaches are great and the community is very supporting. The small class structure makes this a perfect place to improve your fitness and have fun while doing it.”

“My first few weeks at Row House Belmont couldn't have gone better. Everyone there is super friendly and helpful. The workout instructors have been excellent without exception. The intensity of the workouts are just at the level that I hoped for, hard but doable. I had a one-on-one session to get started that was worthwhile”

“I love OrangeTheory. Workouts are amazing but more than that.. their front desk people are AMAZING.

They make so much difference in the experience. They genuinely understand the problem, they are kind and go extra mile to provide service. 10/10.. Sometimes I am having such tough time in office but then I see such kind people and it makes my day.

Also.. I love Kalli .. she is the best coach.”

“I am fairly new to Team Rahsaan Fitness and 1:1 workouts with Rahsaan. It took very little time to recognize Rahsaan as one of the most talented, experienced and committed trainers in the area. Rahsaan is focused on helping me achieve my personal fitness goals through custom workout plans which include a holistic approach to fitness. He makes every session challenging yet positive and, dare I say, fun.”

“Leigh Ann clearly loves to teach, and it shows. She makes subtle corrections to my form which makes each move harder, but we can do hard things!
All the instructors are great and patient and helpful to newbies. There are 10 xformers. The place is spotless.”

“I completed my 12 week transformation about a month ago and it was excellent! Not only did I lose 24 pounds, my trainer Stephanie has helped me to rehab from several injuries including a bad turned ankle, a wonky shoulder, and a sciatic/hip strain. Her level of care and attention is something I've never felt before and it's special. Michael, Charles, and the other trainers also offer this detailed level of care and everyone's attitude is so encouraging. I am walking taller, with more ease, comfort, and confidence than ever before. Thank you, Stephanie, and thank you, Michael and Training Space!”

“F45 San Mateo offers the best workout programs. As a member for over 5 years I've been consistently impressed with all the workouts they offer and the trainers they employ. If you're considering joining, I highly recommend coming for a complimentary class.”

“Alex is a good coach who makes laugh even when he is killing me in the workouts. I also appreciate Coach Darren for what he did for me during hard times. Thank you”

“Highly recommend Advanced - I did their 6 week challenge and bootcamp classes which helped improve both my nutrition and strength! The trainers kept me accountable while also helping me modify different movements based on my limitations from old injuries. Thanks Advanced!!”

“I love coming to this gym! The staff are incredibly friendly and always ready to help: Hunter at the front desk, Reina the lead trainer, and Alan the owner. The facility is spotless and well-maintained, with a fantastic selection of machines that cater to all my workout needs. Highly recommend!”

“Ryan is the best trainer in the Bay!

I started my fitness journey a few years before I met Ryan. I didn't train with him the first time around, but in 2020, after one interaction with him, I knew I wanted to get serious about my fitness goals. Ryan and Thunder Fit were the perfect fit for me!

Since that day, I have lost 25 lbs of fat, gained muscle, and gotten toned. I've improved my health and evolved both mentally and physically. All thanks to Ryan and Thunder Fit!

I am a living example that he is the best in the valley!”

“IMPACT is a great kickboxing gym for all levels. My husband I joined a year ago with different experience levels (I have a black belt in taekwondo, whereas he was completely new to this kind of workout). Both of us have grown over the past year thanks to the instructors at IMPACT. They're all really friendly and knowledgeable! I've been to all kinds of gyms, and none of them match the culture at IMPACT. Everyone feels welcome here.”

“I have been taking classes from Kelly (HIIT, Boot Camp, Kick Boxing, Spin...etc) for years. I am the type that needs the class to be fun, filled with good music, and throw in a few laughs. Her classes check all the boxes, and the group/community there is a huge bonus. She is great at encouraging you to push yourselves, but the classes allow you the flexibility to dial up or down the intensity based on your comfort level or how you feel that day ;). I highly recommend giving this place a try. I find fitness is important for the health of your mind and body. I leave my classes here feeling like I have achieved both.”

“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”

“Coach Brien is very knowledgeable and competent, respectful and non-judgmental. He makes sure that I have the proper form and posture, and breathing correctly throughout our training session. He listens to my concerns and addresses them accordingly. He is professional but kind and friendly. I highly recommend Coach Brien!”

“This was a great gym for a drop in. I was able to sign up for class easily online ahead of time. Tim (owner/coach) is really experienced and knowledgeable. The people were friendly and very welcoming and the gym was organizing and well equipped. Looking forward to my next visit.”

“This is my favorite place to work out. It’s super efficient, effective and fun. Each class is approximately 57 minutes of exercise and a few minutes of stretching. You don’t have to plan what to do; just show up and follow the coach’s instructions. The exercises vary every day.

The workout involves a combination of three elements: 1) weight training on the floor, where each person has a bench, set of dumbbells, TRX, resistance bands, and bosu; 2) running or walking on the treadmill; and 3) rowing. If you can’t do treadmill or rower there are also a couple bikes and a stepper.

Visual instructions are displayed on video screens for the floor exercises. Coaches help with modifications if you have orthopedic issues.

People of all different ages and abilities go to this gym. You “compete” with yourself, not with others. You adjust your own weights and treadmill speed and incline depending on how hard you want to push yourself. Coaches provide gentle encouragement and form correction. Over time you will see improvement.

The coaches are all great at this location. If you’re curious, try a workout and there’s absolutely no pressure to join or commit to a longterm membership.”

“I signed up after my first assessment and have been a member for 3 months now. The classes are small so you get that personal attention for correct form which is so important! Love all the coaches and staff. The vibe is amazing here.”

“What a great place! I was recommended this gym during some travels and glad I came to get my workout in. Not only do they have all the equipment one might need (including turf, a sled, even a designated area for med ball throws), but they also have amenities (lockers, showers, sauna, ice bath) and small touches around the space that show someone really had their clientele in mind when putting it all together (reusable water bottles ready to use, towels). And the environment was the best part! It was so positive and the entire team was professional, helpful and friendly. Thanks everyone!”

“SBM is an amazing place. They have the best instructors I’ve ever worked with. Not only are they knowledgeable and experts in their field, you can feel that they are kind and caring. Without hesitation, they tailor the class for you - offering modifications when needed.”

“I recently went to the gym, and enjoyed the cleanly environment. It was small and not a lot of foot traffic. The big gyms are not my speed. It’s almost like a cozy home gym. The owners and staff are also very friendly.”

“One of the best corp gyms, which I have been visiting regularly for over 4 years. The equipment has been constantly upgraded, the swimming pool is nice and clean. A spacious locker room with sunna and steaming room. Very friendly staff too.”

“5 stars for My Gym San Carlos! I have been bringing my 2 children here for a few months now (together for the siblings class or separately for the toddler classes). It’s well run with thoughtful execution. Megan, the director of operations, is usually there at most classes, she is the heart and soul of MyGym! She is energetic and enthusiastic, she knows the kids’ names, and I love how she gently enforces rules and good behavior. I also love the setup- it’s easy to view kids in the gym area and I can relax with the younger sibling in the waiting area while the older one is in class- not many places I can go to do that! (For reference, we used to go to the Little Gym in Millbrae, but we make the drive for MyGym instead! Better and more unique class offerings, and the gym is nicer and cleaner in my opinion).”

“Brandy is a healer superhero. She truly cares about her patients and goes above and beyond to give the best treatments possible. From neck pain to fertility issues, Brandy does it all! She comes with my highest recommendation.”

“I recently had the pleasure of training with Doug at Rise Above Performance Training, and I can't say enough good things about my experience.Doug is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly motivating. He tailored my workouts to my individual needs and goals, ensuring that I got the most out of every session. His attention to detail and personalized approach truly set him apart because he pays attention to you and your body needs. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or a beginner, Doug makes you feel welcome and comfortable.The facility itself, under Doug's guidance, is fantastic. It's clean, well-maintained, and equipped with everything you need for a challenging and effective workout. Doug's ability to adapt and create varied training programs kept each session exciting and engaging, never the boring fitness routine. He uses quite a few different modalities including kettlebells, Bulgarian bags, and standard weights.One of the standout aspects of Rise Above is the supportive and friendly community Doug has helped build. Doug and fellow clients create an environment where you feel encouraged to push your limits. It's not just a gym; it's a family of like-minded individuals working together to better themselves, thanks in no small part to Doug's leadership.Go check the gym out!”
