I really wanted to love the Marina location, but after taking classes at the Lower Pac Heights…read morelocation for the past year, the Marina location does NOT compare. I should have known that this location is a lot more popular and therefore difficult to get into the class times I wanted. When I first switch over, I was put on the waitlist for every class between early morning to afternoon for the next 3 weeks and the waitlists were all full majority of the time. I realized that signing up for all the waitlists was also a major mistake because people would suddenly drop MINUTES RIGHT BEFORE THE CANCELLATION PERIOD and I would be put into multiple classes on one day with no ability to cancel a class without penalty since it was past the free cancellation window. I emailed asking if there was any way to fix this problem or waive my cancellation fee and the team responded back saying that I should just not sign up to be on the waitlist for multiple classes a day. The late fees ($15) & cancellation fees ($25) really racked up for me in the first 2 weeks because of this mistake and that was on top was the insane class prices already. I did like how large the space in here with a nice lobby area with lockers and seating, along with a bathroom with 2 stalls stocked with hairties, period products, deodorant, and dry shampoo. There is a full window where people can see into the class room which can feel really uncomfortable for people on the first couple machines. Generally, I also didn't enjoy the exercises as much as I did with the instructors at Lower Pac Heights. After doing lagree everyday for the past year, I felt like the moves & flows I did at the Marina location across multiple instructors at different class times were the exact same. I didn't really get the variety of difficulty I wanted at all. In the end, Core40 did allow me to break my one year membership contract because I was laid off & moved away. I would really not come back to this location if I came back to do reformer pilates.

I took a little break from my home gym to come here for my first class. I've know about Barry's for…read moreyears but always chickened out coming because I'm averse to treadmills. I used to run competitively outdoors, so running inside on a treadmill doesn't hit the same. Still I gave it a chance and am quite glad I did. I joined for a 9:30 AM Saturday full body upper body focus class, and it was super energizing. With rapid spring and strength sets synced to a pulsing, high-octane playlist, the workout started my weekend on a high note. Aside from the workout, what facilities I saw and used were clean and odor-free. Staff were polite but a bit rushed. The layout of the room the class I took was held in was a bit confusing to navigate in the dim lighting. They do have a reference map at the check-in desk, so it's definitely a good idea to arrive early and review it first if it's your first time here.

Great location accessible via public transit and bikes (though I walked--not from my office, but it is very accessible from people's offices!) Nice locker rooms but small. I like the soap they offer! Lockers are easy to use.

All F45 classes last roughly around 45 minutes where members spend time (30-45 seconds) at a station working on strength or cardio exercises. For this particular class it was a mix but the burnout for me was the sled push with weights on it- I havent done it in a while so it felt good but I was gassed out while pushing back and forth on the turf. Each of the instructors were energetic, encouraging, and helpful on correcting form etc. The class is co ed and everyone is so tunnel focused on their progress that you don't feel secluded or judged. I went to F45's transbay location and they're both equally clean, organized, and a great workout environment.

XCore was the worst of the 3. The door is closed as there is no area you can sit in while waiting for the class to start--the studio is 1 room. It's long and thin--there's only 1 row of machines. I don't like that because to me, it seems less communal. Harder to talk to people on the other side of the room. It's very dark inside (yes they turn off the lights, but the walls are black so it's extremely dark.) I took xBurn with Sydney. The class was full. She didn't touch me telling me how to fix my form. I didn't know that was normal until I tried classes at other studios. I wasn't that sore afterwards, which to me is a sign of a bad workout. Additionally, they publicized a Galentines' day class. We could Venmo the owner $30 and then later she walked it back, saying that they accepted too many people and it would be more of a social event with some giveaways, snacks, and matcha--no class. I was the first person to ask for a refund because that was not what I signed up for. Later, many other women followed. Seemed like a deceptive and deceitful cash grab trying to make more money. I'm opting for classes at different nearby studios instead!

I've been to this location and Fidi and prefer Fidi since it's newer and cleaner. I like how the walls are white there instead of the black here. It creates a different ambiance.

Discovering Project 13 Gyms has been the most impactful and rewarding aspect of my fitness journey…read moreover the past 2 years. Results - One of the reasons I keep coming back to this place is that the workouts are simply highly effective. I was going to other places 4 or 5 times I week and still not seeing results. Those places might make you leave feeling sweaty and tired, but that doesn't always mean you will see results in terms of muscle growth and strength. The workouts at P13 are built around the core movements and lifting heavy, without trying to keep up with every new fitness fad or trendy new thing. They keep it simple and effective, with an emphasis on the primary compound lifts such as squat, deadline, and bench press. Community - The community at this gym is unlike anything I've ever seen. It's a mix of people from all experience levels, personality types, and ages that come together and bond over their shared love of fitness. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. Because of the nature of these workouts, which often involves heavy sets and periods of rest in between, you'll find yourself chatting up with others during rest breaks or spotting each other during a bench press. This helps foster a great community that often hosts great events informally and formally outside the gym. In the past, they've had bowling outings, hikes, wine nights, trivia nights, board game nights and more. It's great to way to meet new people or spend time with your workout buddies outside of the gym. Trainers - the two instructors (Jared and Michael) are amazing. I'm impressed and how quickly and easily they remember everyone's name and get to know each person so well. While there are a lot of advanced lifters at this gym, they do an excellent job of making beginners feel comfortable and avoid risk of injuries in their workouts. These classes are small, so I love that I can ask A LOT of questions about form, training methods, etc. without disrupting the class or bothering them too much. Other random tidbits: Equipment used - they have a ton of equipment available, which is like being a kid in the toy store. This helps keep the classes interesting with a ton of variety. Some of the equipment used include: barbells, kettlebells, dumbbells, benches, pull up bars, boxes (for box jumps or step ups), assault bikes, ski ergs, rowers, pull up rings, sleds, resistance bands and straps, and I'm sure more that I'm forgetting. Schedule - the schedule is easy to follow as each day is always dedicated to a certain type of workout regardless of the time, such as Monday is legs and Tuesday is upper body. This helps ensure that your muscles get the appropriate rest in between and helps you get on a consistent schedule. If you're not sure if this place is right for you, you can try it out on ClassPass or checkout their website for special intro offers.

(I think 3 -4 years) The programming is thoughtful and the weight lifting movements are safe, not jerky. They focus on form, not speed. ( I can do 11 real pull ups!) There are all types of people, bodies, ages and athletic levels here and we work out together. It's so much fun I come here 5 days a week. Community over competition. I love the instructors, Michael and Jared, so much and they are such knowledgeable and caring people. This is quite literally my favorite business in the USA and It's keeping me in SF.

Parking was easy to find in the neighborhood. The studio was very inviting and very cute! They have changing rooms, restrooms, and lockers, but no showers. The workout room itself is spacious, and they provide mats, weights, balls, and all the other equipment you need. I had a great and challenging class, but low-impact and easy to modify. Looking forward to taking more classes to see if this might be my new barre studio to be adopted into!
