I've been going to all types of gyms, and Daivya, the owner and trainer of Body, is one of the best trainers I've had. The class I attend is set up as exercise stations (small groups). She gives varied workouts so I am never bored & remembers what injuries you have and suggests adaptions. What makes this gym unique is how Daivya fosters a community. People KNOW each other. I can get a superb workout over video; however, there is something great about being in a community. I actually look forward to my workouts. I take a weekly pilates class for 10 months now; I do not know anyone's name (besides the instructor). If you are looking for a space that provides a true sense of community alongside a great workout, I recommend BODY. Also, the gym itself is kept clean and organized. read more

One of the best gyms in SF. Every weight you can imagine and a few that couldn't. I've lost 3 lbs so far and feeling great. The group PT classes are my favorite as you get customized workouts but without someone just standing and watching you. read more

I'm on the lookout for a new gym, and stumbling upon Body SF at 2275 Market Street felt like finding a hidden gem -- or maybe the holy grail of glute-burning, soul-lifting workouts. From the moment you walk in, it's clear this place is different. It's small, welcoming, and gloriously low-key -- the kind of gym where peeps actually smile at you !! Daiya, the owner (and yes, it's 100% women-owned, which is worth a cheer right there ), has thought of everything: clean space, great lighting, fantastic music, and the best vibe in the Castro. I took a Total Reset class -- six people max, five that day -- and it honestly felt like personal training disguised as group fitness. Daiya is laser-focused on form, super encouraging, and just when you think you can't do another rep, she makes you believe you can. It's that perfect mix of safe and "oh my god, my legs are on fire." The gym may be small, but it's mighty: spotless equipment, top-tier sound system, and views of Market Street where you can watch cute dogs trot by while you question your life choices mid-plank. She also makes it a point to welcome everyone -- all sizes, levels, genders, and orientations. It's the most inclusive fitness environment I've ever been in. The only drawback? No showers. But honestly, after a class like that, you'll be glowing with pride (and maybe a little sweat), so who needs one? 10/10 -- would recommend, and my biceps agree. read more

Discipline. That's what I don't have when it comes to fitness. I can't work out on my own. Because I'll find many excuses not to. I also can't/won't work out everyday or even every other. But I dont want to get lost in a large class hoping Im doing the moves right. That is why I love the small group classes offered at BODY. And Daivya makes the workout classes fun. There's great music. There's laughter. There's a community. And great classes like Fight Club and HIIT the Weights. Plus she changes it up every so often and there's new classes to try. Love Steps and can't wait to try Lit! But what I've really been enjoying lately are the yoga classes. The best thing about small yoga classes are the extras. You'll probably rarely get a shavasana assist or a bit of reiki thrown into a restorative class if you take a big yoga studio class. And another good thing about small group classes, the instructor has a better chance of knowing your limitations and your strengths and have the ability to find the right things to push you beyond what you thought was your ability. read more

I've always been a big fan of group workouts, but all my favorite studios in the Mission/Castro area shut down during COVID. There was a good three years where I was hopping from studio to studio, trying to find my new go-to. I started working out at Body SF about two years ago, and it's now my favorite studio in the city. The owner and trainer Daivya has such a fun and encouraging attitude, and she's super attentive to everyone in the class. I can always expect challenging workouts, great playlists, and friendly company. Highly recommend this studio! read more

I've been with BODY. since its inception a year ago, but I have been working out with Daivya since 2021. I started with the outdoor TRX classes at Dolores Park. Having become a full-time remote worker because of the pandemic, I love getting out of the house to work out and hang out. BODY is a really welcoming community and it's nice to see the same faces. The classes and playlists are hella upbeat. Come as you are and you will be challenged accordingly! read more

Daivya is the best trainer! The group classes are a great workout plus Daivya makes them so much fun. There are so many different classes to choose. I love the BODY community who support and encourage each other. The new BODY home studio is beautiful. I am so happy to be a part of this community and get my booty kicked by Daivya!! read more

I've been working out with Daivya since 2019 at The Boombox. (Daivya was one of the original 3 trainers at The Boombox and stayed with The Boombox until it shut down in San Francisco earlier this year.) BODY. currently offers classes at several Mission/Potrero/Castro locations on different days of the week, including The Corner Studio, Alex Fitness, Dolores Park, and Waller Park. Although I haven't tried all of the BODY. classes yet, I've taken a breadth of classes with Daivya over the last few years, including HIIT, TRX, weight training, stretching and mobility, as well as outdoor bootcamps. I know they'll all be great, except RunCamp. (I only say that because I hate running.) HIIT The Weights is my favorite class on the BODY. schedule. Daivya creates a personalized upper and lower body weight training program for each person in the class based on their goals. Everyone does a HIIT warmup together, goes through their individual workout plan (usually 3 sets of each move), and finishes up with core. The class is offered inside of Alex Fitness, which has a lot of equipment. Daivya makes the rounds to check on everyone, and the class is a good hybrid between small group and personal training. The BODY. just opened this month, and it's possible that the offering and locations will change. However, I plan on working out with Daivya as long as she offers classes near me! Daivya always brings great energy and a great playlist to class ("Body-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody-ody"), and she really does know the human body. Every time I've mentioned random pain during a workout, Daivya comes up with a modification on the spot that helps immediately and sends me home with stretches that make the problem go away. read more

Shout out my fabulous trainer, Sandra Negrone, at LiveFit Gym in the Castro. Sandra is incredibly knowledgeable in her functional mobility training, calisthenics workouts and strength training. She has a great personality, combining motivation and encouragement through personal accomplishment. I have progressed quickly with her these past two months and highly recommend Sandra. The gym looks great having been recently upgraded. The people that work there create a warm and welcoming sense of community. Check it out the gym for free and get a free training. assessment with Sandra. You won't be disappointed! read more

Daivya's energy is infectious. She adjusts group fitness classes to each person abilities and motivates folks to challenge themselves. The workouts are well thought out to maximize the studio's space. Thank you Daivya for a fun workout! read more

BODY. classes are the best! Daivya is an incredible whirlwind of energy, knowledge and fun. I honestly wonder when people say "I'm going to the gym" what they actually do... all I know now is that with BODY. classes, I get a personalized, small group experience that makes me leave feeling strong but also smiling. Daivya makes it all fun but hits just the right challenge level too, while somehow making you laugh and feel energized. She also just knows a ton about everything related to the body and movement and will give you tips and exercises to improve those trouble spots. If you want to get better at the gym thing, go to HIIT the Weights. If you need to punch out any stress, Fight Club is where it's at. If you're looking for torture, sign up for Glutes + Core. TRX at Dolores Park is glorious on a Saturday morning and great for people like me with bad knees (I've had one replaced and the other is close behind). You don't need fancy gym clothes or to already be buff. We're all ages and shapes and sizes and it's really comfortable coming as you are. The music's fun and makes classes go by fast. You won't be sorry coming to BODY! read more

I've been working out with Daivya since 2016! She is the absolute best. She's so knowledgeable and talented, fun, and has really great energy. Her classes are challenging, but she finds a way to make them fun. Highly recommend going to a class no matter where you're at in your fitness journey. read more

Classes are energizing, inclusive, and eventually transformative if you return enough times. I've become someone willing to get out of bed for early am workouts. I never thought that would happen! Daivya's classes have helped me out of the pandemic slump and feel stronger than in my pre-pandemic days. read more

I've been training with Daivya for a couple of years and am so excited she has opened BODY.! I can't wait to see where she takes her own studio and how she grows it into a destination workout space! Daivya is spirited and joyful, tough when she needs to be, and committed to helping every client obtain good health and wellbeing. She welcomes people of all ages and body types and makes each one feel special and full of hope and conviction that they can reach their goals. I look forward to every session with her because I leave feeling great, uplifted, and excited about what I can become with her help and guidance. She has already changed my life and it seems we have barely begun! I can't sing her praises enough. There is no better trainer out there. You have got to experience Daivya and BODY. Your body, your mind, and your soul will thank you for it! read more

Daivya is the most approachable, knowledgable and enthusiastic trainer! I started taking her classes a few months back and as much I would enjoy the workouts, I also went to chat with her before/after class. She possesses a perfect blend of calm yet super positive vibes. I highly recommend BODY as it is a personalized and fun workout! read more

My fitness journey with Daivya started when I first moved to the city 5 years ago. I was somewhat an active person but completely clueless when it came to gym workouts (I would just hop on a treadmill for 30 mins then didn't know what else I would do with myself and leave). Daivya completely changed how I felt about exercises where I now feel I can incorporate them as part of my lifestyle and actually look forward to working out everyday. She deeply cares about her clients and will make sure the workout suits the goal you're trying achieve and your fitness level. I also do ballet on the side and she created the workout that would focus specifically on hip mobility and flexibility...and boy does she get creative with it! She always shows up with positivity and SO much energy, both in personal and especially in group sessions! I feel privileged to have her as a trainer and a friend. She's my go-to person for all things wellness and I cannot recommend her enough! read more

I went to the BODY bootcamp in Dolores park this morning and I still have that wonderful full body glow of a good workout :-) The class was both fun and hard work, and everybody was amazingly friendly and -- quite simply -- happy! Daivya was in here element teaching with a great playlist, and the time flew by. Heartily recommend! read more

Daivya's HIIT the Weights classes have a great small-group personal trainer feel to them. She really pays attention to your form and gets to know you and your goals. The class is the perfect blend of HIIT cardio and strength training. I've been going to Daviya's classes for over 3 years now and she is both an incredibly skilled and professional trainer as well as a warm and welcoming person who cares about her clients' health. read more
