Jamie's a fun, sassy, and inclusive instructor. Melissa and the guest speakers they had were also great. You can tell how much they love their program by the themed classes they hosted, parade they participated in and how they adapted to COVID/remote classes. Take a class if you can!

DanceVibes is amazing! I had been looking for a work out I would enjoy and therefore stick to, and…read moreI think I finally found it :) DanceVibes is a combination of cardio and choreography. The choreo is really fun and varied while giving you a great work out. The owner Jaimee is an awesome instructor, as are the other teachers, and people in class are really friendly. Many of them have been with Jaimee for years which is a testament in itself. I highly recommend if you're looking for a dance fitness class! They also offer classes in San Carlos on Monday/Wednesday now, so you can go almost any day of the week.

My favorite Pilates studio. I've tried several around the area and so glad I found RockSalt. I've…read morebeen coming here for over a year now. My favorite instructors are Amy K, Amy B, Maddie, Moji, and Sabrina. It's an actual workout. Not as challenging as Lagree but still quite challenging especially if you push yourself. I love that it's a small studio which makes it very intimate. All the instructors make it a point to remember your name and I love that. I recommend doing a stretch class if it's your first time. Don't get discouraged and keep coming!

I've been incredibly happy to join the Basecamp community. Their 30 days for $60 deal is what got…read moreme in the door, but after those 30 days, I wasn't ready to quit! The workouts are varied and challenging. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different part of the body (legs, upper body, core, etc.). The coaches are motivating and great at both correcting form and offering variations for moves that may be difficult for people with knee or other issues. Shout out to Coach Euni! Her classes are always the most intense and leave me feeling spent in the best possible way! The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and make an effort to learn your name so they can greet everyone personally. Great gym! Highly recommend!!

Barry's Burlingame was one of the worst first-time gym experiences I've had. (And that's saying…read moresomething since I recently tried 7 gyms in the Burlingame/ San Mateo / Millbrea areas). I showed up 5 minutes early and instead of focusing on onboarding or safety, the staff prioritized forcing me to create a marketing account and hand over my email before class. Nobody asked about **my knee pain** or offered workout modifications like Basecamp or Burlingame Fitness did. I was thrown into a dark room mid-class with no idea where my station was, what weights to use, or even how to start(!) the treadmill, while the oversized class made it impossible for the instructor to notice I was struggling. I had to stop multiple times just to change weights and restart. Change and restart. In the end, I lost the class credit and time. The whole experience felt like corporate lead-generation and profit mattered far more at Barry's than the safety and success of new members.

I was here for an intro class. From the moment I got there, I can tell it was already chaotic. The…read morefront desk was overwhelmed. There were 5 of us intro folks. The front desk was hopping between assisting members and giving us tours. Mind you I arrived 30 minutes early only for one of the front desk girls to get us started THREE minutes before the class was supposed to start. To top it all off they didn't mention what number I was so I went into the class not knowing where to start. In addition, they put me on a rower that didn't have an IPad connected to it so the instructor had to run and grab one. The moment she put it on and connected it my heart rate monitor wasn't connected. It was such a shit show and it wasn't the instructor's fault at all. The instructor actually tried really hard to calm me down and make sure I was setup. She was very nice so no complaints with her. I woke up early for this and literally wasted almost 45 minutes of my day. I literally walked out and gave the heart rate monitor back to the front desk. They could see I was distraught. It was just a complete disappointment and waste of time. There needs to be better training or more staff to help with the peak days and hours. My BIG feedback is to have one front desk person focus on the intro members and the other focus on current members. This whole ordeal made me not want to join Orangetheory at all. What's even worse is that I live like three blocks away and was hoping to find something within walking distance. The search continues.

Long overdue shout out for OTF San Mateo!…read more Great coaches at this location! Coach Sophia gives clear instructions, and always takes the time to correct my form on the weight floor -- even while she's running the rest of the class and keeping everyone on track. Those small moments of individual attention (even if it's just 30 seconds) make such a big difference. It's little things like that , that keeps me coming back and recommending OTF to others. Coach Doug is also excellent, especially on the treads. He brings energy to all the classes. He keeps the workouts fun and engaging with music trivia and gives great advice on staying in the right heart rate zones. I honestly hate running, but he somehow makes the time fly by! The front desk team deserves just as much credit. Nicole is so kind, hardworking, and always goes above and beyond. She helped my daughter fix an issue with her account--even though San Mateo isn't her home studio. Kevin was also super helpful when my husband was on the fence about joining. He followed up, offered a second trial class, and took the time to explain the membership options so my husband could find the best fit for his schedule. He was informative without being pushy. And finally, JR, the manager, is always friendly and approachable. I work downtown, so this studio's location is perfect for me. Highly recommend OTF San Mateo -- great coaches, great people, and an overall fantastic community!

Parking was not too difficult to find considering it was mid day on a weekday. All meter parking outside costed $1.50 per hour. Studio was clean and had a relaxing vibe. Locker room was bright and clean, with 2 showers and plenty of lockers. The instructor is the one who checks people in at the front counter. Ashley was friendly and I loved that she provided demos to us throughout the class. Great first experience with CorePower and I look forward to trying out their other yoga classes offered!

I have been to this studio a few times now since it's the closest one to me and it's great! It is…read morelocated in downtown San Mateo so parking may be hard during busy hours but I have been lucky to find nearby parking so far. Definitely allocate some extra time so you're not rushing to get there before class. I recently tried out Yoga Sculpt and I loved it! I may prefer it to just regular hot yoga because I like the sculpt exercises we do. It's intense in the heat but it's crazy how much you sweat. I thought I sweat a lot already during the usual class, but WOW! It felt great after to get a good sweat in. Sometimes the music got a little loud but it's easy to either look at the instructor or look at people nearby to see what they're doing. One thing is that most classes are pretty full so you will be right next to each other. I guess that's pretty typical during their popular classes. Either way I will definitely be back for another class soon!

First off, parking. Huge win. It's super easy to get to, which removes one more excuse not to show up. The instructors, Toni and Justin are both incredibly knowledgeable and approachable. No ego, no judgement, just genuinely helpful coaching. The circuit-style workouts are great and honestly so much fun. The classes tend to be on the smaller side, which I personally love because it feels like you're working out with friends. The instructors are always nearby if you need help with equipment, form, or just a quick little confidence boost. This space feels safe and everyone is friendly and welcoming! Bonus: they're on ClassPass. Will definitely be back again! Highly recommend if you want a great workout without the scary gym energy.

I really wanted to like Pilates V -- the classes themselves were decent, and the instructors I met…read morewere kind. But unfortunately, the experience with their policy and customer support has been frustrating enough that I'm seriously reconsidering coming back. I've been dealing with a prolonged illness, and per their own policy, clients with symptoms are not allowed to attend class (which I fully respect). But when I reached out to explain my situation, I was only given a two-week extension -- no flexibility, no empathy, just a firm deadline. When I tried to use the remaining classes before expiration, I did not show up due to a worsening cough at the day of class-- again, trying to be responsible and follow their rules. I then received a late cancel/no show warning email, which said I'd normally be charged an extra $15 fee on top of the class I already paid for, just for being too sick to attend. Although the fee was waived this time, the tone of the message and the overall approach felt more like a punishment system than a client-centered one. The policy is confusing, rigid, and completely lacking in support for people dealing with health issues. It left me feeling discouraged and unwelcome -- not something I expect from a wellness studio.

Was excited to try Pilates again so I was excited to find a Groupon of Pilates V. I've done Pilates…read morein San Diego before so I was excited to do it again. They don't have a reception area so I was a little lost walking in but I just followed what everyone else was doing. The workout itself was fine. Compared to the classes I took in the past I didn't find the instructor to be helpful. When I got home I got an email about my bill from Pilates V which was a charge for grip socks which I did not purchase. I ended up reaching out to management for a refund. There was a couple back and forth with the emails where I had to reach out for updates. It did become a bit frustrating because I didn't talk to the instructor at all but was told that the instructor said it was me that purchased. In the end I received my refund which I was thankful for however I feel like this could have been solved in a more efficient way. I ended up not using the rest of the Groupon classes but it's a loss I would rather take than take more classes.
