I really wanted to love this gym since it's convenient and is a small business. However being a…read moremember has proved to be disappointing and I ultimately left this gym. Here are the main issues I had- -It's very cramped and can therefore get busy fast. -The cardio area in the front doesn't have enough air circulation or purification. However purification and circulation are a problem everywhere there. -Members regularly show up sneezing, coughing, and with runny noses. -The gym is unattended most of the time, and when staff are present they're glued to devices. The gym's own basic rules just go unenforced. -The equipment is regularly dirty and sweaty. The vast majority of members do not wipe off equipment after they have used it (much less before they use it.) And staff absolutely does not pick up the slack and clean off sweaty machines or provide even gentle reminders to members, in real time. Feels gross and makes it too easy to pick up colds, flu, Covid etc. -If you accidentally forget your water bottle you'll be totally out of luck! They only provide a bubbler- no cups. -There is not composting or recycling throughout the facility. Only the two cans by the entrance offer sustainable options. -Using their platform was difficult both from a cell phone and via the Safari browser. Like most other people in the Bay I'm an iPhone user so this proved to be inconvenient. -They milked me for another month when it was time to cancel. Their cancellation process is not straightforward and bought and you can be charged an entire month's membership, even if you cancel several days before the regular day your dues always deduct. It's a common feeling that if you cancel before your monthly renewal date, you should not be charged on the next renewal date. So to me it seems like their cancellation process is confusing and also is poor business practice, plain and simple. Really the only major perk here was that I could walk here. Ultimately this business might benefit from some local competition. I really don't recommend this gym and hope for Bernal's sake that they make some serious changes.

Terrible costumer service! I joined the gym because I…read morethought it would be a closer alternative to my main gym. Every time I attempted to enter my fob did not work (when I picked it up I confirmed with the employee that it worked). I was so frustrated when this happened a second time I emailed the gym asking if someone could let me in. I was instructed that I needed to wait until staff hours by the founder. Since I don't work in the city I would not be able to meet them during those hours (11-12) This ended up causing some weird email and text argument with the founder who was so rude. I canceled my membership (considering I couldn't even use the gym I pay for) and was charged randomly 2X the expected charge. When I asked for an itemized receipt like any normal business can provide founder responded with the attached email. What a terrible way to do business. Avoid this gym.

Usually I've found pilates teachers either slow the pace down to correct or they speed through and you're on your own.

I've been taking classes at Lotusland for about 8 months (how time flies!), and I'm really…read moreimpressed by the quality of the experience. I used to go to Yoga Tree extensively before they shut down, and I've been to a few other local studios. Not all the teachers at Lotusland are equally skilled, but they all have a quality which I've found lacking at many other studios, which is a desire to actually TEACH yoga rather than just instruct it. The studio is small enough that the teachers can get to know the students and offer personalized, hands-on assistance, which helps new students practice proper form and more experienced students refine their technique. This is not the place to go if you want a Core Power Flow Maximum Heated Vinyasa Yogaerobics Body Sculpting class, but it's a great place to go if you want to, you know, learn and practice yoga.

It was, in fact, the primary reason I joined. However, I've noticed more men trickling into the gym lately. When I joined, men were only allowed for duo training. While I entirely support respect and inclusivity, allowing men defeats the purpose of advertising this as a women's gym. If I wanted to train in a co-ed environment, I could go to the Y for half the price--which sadly is an option I am now considering

I felt talked down, like I didn't know anything about training and needed long explanations over very basic things.

I've worked with great trainers before, so I know what a good training environment can feel like -- and this was definitely not it.

I actually have an aversion (well...deep down it's a strong affinity) to mirrors…read more Seriously. Since I was a kid I've been making an uber bizarre mirror face- whenever my reflection is presented before me. It's a weird mix of Blue Steel meets Top Model. I can't help but give face to any and every mirror that I come in contact with. It got so bad during middle school and high school that I never got any work done when I was in my room. I would sit vainly in front of my bedroom mirror and just stare at myself. Stare at myself doing work. Stare at myself no longer doing work. Stare at myself dancing instead of work....the list goes on. My parents finally decided an intervention was in order and promptly removed my massive bureau mirror from my room. A wave of relief overwhelmed me - once that big dominant mirror was no longer a profound presence in my room. I became about 12 percent more productive that day (though all of my CDs were promptly used as substitutes and till today most of my CD collection is smeared with makeup and finger stains...le sigh). And.... so it's a strange thing for me to actually celebrate and crave mirrors such as the ones that Mobu boasts. I've taken two hula-hoop lessons here and the large expansive mirrors which line this intimate studio have been key players in helping me conquer or at least try to tackle difficult hula-hoop moves. When this studio is not in use - you can rent it out for a fairly nominal fee - and it is beyond worth it. It is beyond what's up to have a darling studio where you can drop a hula-hoop loudly on the ground and no one cares (sorry below neighbors). It is beyond what's up to have a space - where you can bust out some bumpin tunes as the hula-hoop awkwardly bumps across your shoulders. It is beyond what's up to have a place where you can go to learn a skill with personal one-on-one training. Thank you Mobu for existing. Thank you Mobu for having mirrors and allowing me to enjoy them oh so briefly. Trust.

It's true that getting and staying in shape requires time, motivation and consistency. This can be…read morehard to come by when you lead a busy life. But a couple of things that can make it much easier is finding the right fitness program and and immersing yourself in a supportive community. This is essentially what I've found at City CrossFit. Throw out the notion that CrossFit is for crazy, intense, ultra-fit people. what you see on tv is not what you see in real life. Do you have time to work out 2-3 times a day, get massages a few times a week all while keeping your eating in check? I don't! What you'll find at City CrossFit are every day people who enjoy self-improvement and value health. You don't need to be in tip top shape to start. Everything is scalable and appropriate for all fitness levels. Sean, the coach and owner, is approachable, knowledgable, nice, and will never let you do anything beyond your ability. Come to City CrossFit as you are and the workouts will always be tailored to what you can do and adjusted as you become stronger and more mobile. You have to start from somewhere, and this is truly a judgement-free zone! You know that "honeymoon" phase where you're totally dedicated and into it for a few weeks? After a while your persistence started to drop off. then before you know it, your dedication is just gone and you're just paying the monthly fee while you sit on the couch telling yourself, "Hmmm, I really should go workout out." That didn't happen to me at City CrossFit. This is the first fitness program where I've never contemplated, dreaded or regretted coming to workout. The workouts are always varied, challenging in different ways. I am never bored! Sure some of the workouts can be tough. Sure, there will be days when I wake up sore. But doing it in the company of others and feeding off the collective energy and camaraderie not only gets you through it but pushes you to do your best. Nearly six months in and I'm the strongest I've ever been. I've been moving through life a lot more effortlessly. Running to catch the muni with my 3 year old in arms or just hoisting him around the house has come with much more ease. The fact that my arms are starting to look amazing is a bonus! Hands down, this has been one of the best investments I've made for myself. I'm not going to lie. CrossFit isn't cheap, but City CrossFit is one of the most affordable in the city. You get out what you put in. So don't expect any major results if you're only going once a week. Besides, if you're budget-minded like me, your return on investment only goes up as your cost per session goes down. READ: the more often you go, the more it's worth it for your pocket and your health! Money can buy you whatever fitness program you want. But what City Crossfit will give you is a safe, supervised atmosphere to help you achieve your health goals, a fun-loving community to help motivate you, and a great fitness program that will keep you on your toes!
