This review of All in One Fitness and personal trainer Diane is very overdue - sorry Diane! My wife…read moreand I signed up for a series of "buddy" personal training sessions over 8 weeks starting in January 2025. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. The Gym: the facility is small but clean, and the patrons range in age and fitness levels. Everyone is very welcoming and understanding of the sometimes tight quarters that can take place in a smaller place, and they do their best to keep out of the way or allow others to pass. It's a great place and I enjoyed it a lot. The Trainer: Diane is amazing!!! My wife and I wanted to learn how to safely carry out weight training with dumbbells and a variety of other equipment as we're getting to the age where it's important to maintain our muscle mass. Diane did a great job developing a program that we felt like we could tackle, and over the course of eight weeks we saw massive improvements in strength and balance. She's also very sweet and fun to hang out with as you sweat your way through your hour. We highly recommend her!!

I've been meaning to write this for a while, but life has been busy. I'm 74, and have never been as…read morefit as I should be, but I got into really bad condition during the pandemic, way too much sitting. I started having severe back pain and found that walking with hiking poles helped this. I thought it was due to my spinal curvature (but it turns out it was due to weakened muscles!). I used to be a member of the Berkeley YMCA, but didn't like it as much when I returned after the pandemic, with the women's fitness center gone. So I was mainly walking at the Marina. But last summer I had 2 falls there, both stupid things, tripping on my pole and on the edge of a raised surface. The second fall caused a fracture in my ring finger and I had to get my wedding rings cut off, as they quickly became tourniquets on my swollen finger. So I decided to look for another gym, where I could hold on to the handles on the treadmill. I asked my kids for recommendations. One of them mentioned All in One Fitness in Albany, a few blocks from his house, where he'd seen a sign welcoming people over 40. So I went and checked it out, and this is what I found: To start, it's easy to get to from my West Berkeley home, easy free parking, comfortable and friendly atmosphere, wonderful and friendly trainers, all the equipment one could need in a small space. My trainer, Diane, who is also the manager, is not only excellent as a trainer, but her enthusiasm and support has been really been encouraging. I feel comfortable there with everyone; I don't feel out of place at all. This place, and in particular Diane, my trainer, has truly changed my life! Diane said at the beginning that she wanted to make it fun for me to come to the gym. I thought, "Oh, right!" (in a skeptical, eyeball rolling way). But it happened - it is fun! And I feel so much better! And I can walk without my poles and carry grocery bags! I have personal training twice a week, which has been wonderful for learning new things and keeping up the variety and fun. I have so many things I can do now, not just the treadmill and bicycle, and I can do them on my own between training days. I think it's been 5 months now, and I'm getting stronger and feeling so much better! As I said, it's changed my life! I highly recommend this gym!

The five stars are so well deserved!…read more My friend frequents with Plank + Power so I decided to purchase a single course. I took the course with Coach Liz who is seriously such an incredible instructor. I really appreciated that she took some time to help me understand the reformers, and covered a few things we'd work on before course started. This was helpful as I had a strain that I was recovering from. It was enough to pull through a class that I so desperately needed because *mental wellness* is important! I really enjoyed her workout because it was a total body workout, but there was an emphasis on arms which I REALLY loved. Other classes I have of course have arm workouts incorporated with lunges and such, but she was able to do that AND have just a focal point on arms. It was a GREAT work out! Her enthusiasm in the class is so infectious and the class community was warm. Forgive me as the desk attendants name, but she was also very courteous and helpful. What a wonderful person to greet students in. Plank + Power is very lucky to have a great team. I would encourage anyone who wants a solid workout to try it out here. I hope to be back whenever my schedule allows!

I have been doing reformer Pilates since about 2012 and this place is legit! I am truly humbled each class, haha! One of my favorite things about this place is also the community that has been built - looking around and seeing all the regulars (and new faces!) in my classes is so fun - it really feels like a 3rd space. The merch is adorable, and I can't help but pick up new socks when they get a re-stock! I can't wait to try the mat Pilates classes and see the upcoming Berkeley location!

A decade ago, I was very much into Crossfit, but after a decade going by and the gym I went to…read moreclosing, I didn't think I would ever have the motivation I use to, to get back to it. But 510 changed that for me. The first day I walked in there I immediately knew this was where I was meant to get my health back. The community here is full of people you won't necessarily find just anywhere. It doesn't matter how fit you are or how fit the person next to you is, because we will be cheering you on, supporting you in a way you didn't think people did anymore. The coaches keep things fun, but also make sure you are being safe. They are hilarious and also extremely motivating. I really haven't found a gym like this since my old one closed, and to be honest, 510 is even better! I have injuries from a car accident years ago and the coaches are always ready to modify a workout for me. They are extremely knowledgeable at what they do. It doesn't matter what level you are at or if you are injured, I promise you that you won't regret stepping in those doors. It truly changed my life (physically, mentally and emotionally). Every time I go, it helps me believe in myself a little more and some of the best people I have met in my life, I met through Crossfit. Don't hesitate. Run here. You won't regret it.

I'm usually shy and stayed to myself, but was welcome by the coaches and people there. It's been an amazing journey! Rob and Alex supported my health goals, pushing me to get my PRs. I was so happy when I was finally able to do a bar muscle up! All the people I worked out with are super supportive and fun! We push each other and hold each other accountable. And I have made good life time friends at this gym. I am forever grateful for this company and the community.

If I could give zero stars, I would. This club is outdated and poorly managed. Some facilities are…read moreokay but not worth what they charge, and the jacuzzi often has a very strong chlorine smell that even irritates your eyes. I was there with four children and felt disrespected during an interaction with the owner Bruce. The way I was spoken to felt rude and condescending, yelling and threatening to call the police over moving chairs its crazy. Our membership was canceled right after his meltdown. Paying members deserve to be treated with courtesy and respect. I also observed the summer camp area while there. Children who were not in the pool didn't seem to have any alternative activities and were mostly left sitting around, with staff often raising their voices and telling them if they don't get in the pool is their problem. Overall, I left with the impression that this club prioritizes collecting fees over providing quality service and a positive experience for families. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this club.

What I Love 1. Top-Notch Amenities…read moreFrom the well-maintained free-weight section and cardio machines to the heated pool, spa, sauna and steam rooms -- everything feels clean, modern, and thoughtfully laid out. The variety of court sports (tennis, racquetball, pickleball) is a big bonus, especially when you want a break from monotonous workouts. 2. Friendly & Professional Staff The front desk team, trainers, and maintenance staff are all approachable, helpful, and responsive. Whenever I've had a question or requested assistance (be it with equipment, scheduling, or classes), it's been addressed promptly and with a smile. 3. Community Feel This is more than just a gym -- there's a sense of belonging. Members say hello, staff recognize faces, and there's a positive energy in the place. It feels like more than a place to lift or swim; it's a place where people want to spend time.

Before starting the program, I had been working out consistently but wasn't seeing the results I…read morewanted. I felt stuck and realized I needed more structure and guidance. I was already going to the gym, but I didn't have a clear plan. I wanted a program that would help me build muscle, get stronger, and stay consistent. Since starting the program, I've gotten significantly stronger and feel much more confident performing each exercise because I've learned the proper form. My muscle definition has improved a lot, and I'm able to lift weights that I couldn't handle before. Overall, I've seen great progress in both my strength and physique, and I feel more confident every time I train. I would recommend this program to anyone who needs guidance or feels like they aren't performing exercises correctly. It's a great fit for people who want a clear, structured workout plan instead of guessing what to do at the gym. I'd especially recommend it to anyone who's motivated to get stronger, build muscle, and improve their overall health and lifestyle.

Hello hi, I want to…read morestart off with the fact that I've never felt this welcomed at any facility before. And I'm talking about, hospitals, gyms, public spaces. Paradise Gym has truly become like a second family to me. From day one, my daughter and I have always felt welcomed, respected, and supported. Before joining, I wanted a place where I could stay consistent and work toward my fitness goals, and the coaching and accountability here have given me the confidence to do exactly that. The environment is positive, motivating, and family-oriented, which makes all the difference. I highly recommend Paradise Gym to anyone looking for real results in a supportive community

Everything I said in my previous review still stands, I just want to highlight how awesome the…read moretrainers have been during the last year plus as we've all had to negotiate the COVID pandemic. They've adapted to teaching a mix of in-person and online classes and they've done an excellent job of making things challenging while keeping workouts accessible and adaptable as needed for everyone's personal situation. All of the trainers here are excellent, but most of the classes I take are with Deanna. Training with her is an incredibly positive experience--she is completely committed to helping her clients succeed, and not just in the gym. And on those days when my tank is empty or I'm not with it for whatever reason she's completely understanding and is able to adjust things to meet me where I'm at so I still get a good workout in. A lot of it may be behind the scenes, but she works just as hard as her clients at helping them achieves their goals. Phoenix Gym is an incredibly positive, supportive, and judgement-free zone, and being a member here has been a life-changing experience.

Kelly is bad ass. She's tough and gorgeous at the same time! And she's super awesome to be around!…read more So the building is Krav Maga but you enter and go to the right of the building. Bootcamp has it's own deal. I came here for a free trial bootcamp class (and I'm hooked and coming back on Friday). Luckily it was 6 ladies and myself. I really liked that it was small and everyone was friendly. It started with some jumprope, followed by push ups (and repeat 5 times). Then we got our hands wrapped and put on the boxing gloves! We hit punching bags. Pretty fun to feel like Muhammed Ali. :) my knuckles are red. Boxing is only on Wednesdays. Then we did squats in between the different types of boxing moves. Then we got out some yoga mats and did different types of crunches. Sadly I forgot where my abs once were :( but I'm hoping to find them soon. Anyway, tons of fun!

I love that there is no pressure or judgement working out with Sara, she truly wants to help you reach your goals and she is an absolute delight to be around! Her prices are also very reasonable.

5 stars Plus 5 more!…read more Where can I start?.... First and foremost I have to say Milo (the coach and owner) is THE BEST coach I've come across. Always willing to help! Always looking out for you, yet will encourage you to push a little more but knowing your limits. Super big on mobility! I've called two other Crossfit gyms home, but I followed Milo here because his attitude, willingness to help, knowledge, encouragement and his concept of what a community within a box are aspects he understands and grasps very well. Karin (second coach) is very encouraging and a great not only coach to have here, but also a great individual. She'll be cheering you on and give you tips on how to do better. She's definitely a great coach for the ladies there to look up to and see what hard work can accomplish. It's small, personal, yet feels like home. No who's here! No it's not all about taking your shirt off and it's a bro-down, it's more encouraging and cheering for each person to finish and do well! This place is a gem. I've been here since day one and I highly recommend this place to someone who not only wants to get in shape, but would like a life changing experience. I can't say thank you enough for Riveter opening up! Now, you might be hesitant because it seems intense or not know what CrossFit is about. We all start somewhere. Milo does a great job at modifying workouts for people. Shoulder injury? Knee injury? Back injury? Everything can be modified for one to get stronger and partake in the workout. You don't have to be great to start, you have to start to be great! Members are so encouraging here. I'm so happy to call this home. Located in Richmond, this define rely has more of a tie and feel to Richmond community as you see people walking by, driving by curious to know what's going on here at Riveter. It's so awesome to see others get stronger, lose weight, and get better as you see fellow members and friends progress! To see people transformation is amazing! I've even endured a transformation myself. I've gotten stronger. My lats have gotten bigger. People have noticed a change in my body. It's been an amazing four months here. I've seen my body transform with Milos programming. It's all about the journey! Don't be shy, give this a try! Punch cards are available if you want to wet your feet before you jump into the pool! I'd say you'll find me there 99% of the time believe me, you won't regret it hope to see some new faces!
