Fun, easygoing coaching staff & great towards ensuring best technique practices. Very welcoming gym. Always having a good time! They just did a remodel for '23, worth checking it out! read more

Sean and his team are caring, fair, and helpful people. I went to the gym for a couple years and gained a ton of muscle (the most I have ever in my adult life). As a queer woman (and a parent), I felt really accepted here too, which doesn't always happen in a gym environment. When I moved away, Sean cancelled my card payment right away. He's understanding and has a strong community of people that come back month after month. He doesn't trap you in a contract of 1 year, which is really nice - so you just go month by month. If you're in the area, definitely check it out - great programming and even better people. read more

Such a great community and coaches! Sean and the coaching staff really pay attention to the details of movement and ensure we do not take our exercises half ass. They really care about all the aspects of health and not just kicking our butts which is a genuine quality of their passion read more

This is the place if you like a serious workout but generally hate the gym. Coach Sean is exceptional - friendly, supportive, conscientious, observant, and really knows his stuff. As an older runner who neglected strength training for too long, my body needed some serious re-balancing before I could safely push myself, and Sean has brought me back from feeling broken to "ready to go!" I should add that everyone there has been welcoming and respectful - not always the case for us old ladies walking into the weight room. I look forward to going there. Can't rave enough! read more

Cross Fit is completely new to me. What I love about the Gym and Sean (main instructor/trainer), is the focus on skill building. Whether you're new or a veteran to cross fit, The classes are catered to different skill levels. The intensity and quality of the classes are a plus. Im thankful for the intro courses before I joined because the series gave me the opportunity to get familiar with cross fit. In addition the intro classes taught me about techniques and movements. If you're looking for a place that will push you beyond your limits, strengthen your body, and build your athletic skills... this is the place for you. read more

City CrossFit - Only one part of the gym. - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - San Francisco, California

I have been Crossfit-ting for almost 2 years now and tried so many different gyms. When I discovered City Crossfit I was drawn to it because of its location. Living in Daly City there's not a real Crossfit box close to me and so I was determined to check this one out. Man!! What a gem this place is. I really enjoy the fact that the head coach, Sean, is very hands on and teaches members the proper technique and is always willing to take extra time to make sure everyone is safe. State of the art equipment, location and top coaching is definitely what separates this gym from other Crossfit affiliates. Because of coaching by Sean I have recently increased my back squat numbers from 355 lbs to 385 lbs in just 2 months! I also now know how to do double unders which no other crossfit coach was able to help me nail down. Sean's intense focus on members, proper technique and helping each member improve overall fitness levels is unmatched. I will continue being a member of City Crossfit. read more

City CrossFit - Main floor - Interval Training Gyms Near Me - San Francisco, California

I unfortunately had to cancel my membership as I'll be traveling quite a bit in the near future but this place is great. Sean the owner/head coach is very knowledgeable and a generally cool guy. Good motivator, patient, and knew how to handle me when I got pissy. The workouts were great. Good combo of technical lifting (with lots of instruction) and conditioning. I was a total beginner and it was nice to see that the other clients came from all fitness backgrounds, from mega-fit to un-fit like myself. Made the process much less intimidating. Great spot. Hoping to return someday. read more

I've been doing CrossFit for over 3 years now, and this gym had the best people I've met in my life (biggest perk). When the price was $159 a month, I thought it was a good introduction gym for newbies wanting to try CrossFit. Now that the price went up to $220 a month, it's not really the case. This is the same price tag of it's sister gym, Telegraph CrossFit, which is worth the price tag. Telegraph has a great space, incredible coaches and programming, clean drinking water, nice equipment, variety of classes and times, etc. The second biggest perk of City CrossFit is that you get access to it's sister gym, which is pretty far if you live by City CrossFit. I mentioned the positives in Telegraph because the opposite is true for City. Being open for almost a year now, the class times are extremely limited (almost the same as when it opened), the equipment is mostly hand-me-downs, the facility is run down, and the space isn't functional to actually have a decent CrossFit workout. I found the programming to be hit or miss, and is often modified to less of a workout due to the limit of time and the space. There is a lot of talking and 'stretching' for the first 15-20 minutes of class, at the cost of actually working out. Since I came from other CrossFits, I found myself often frustrated with the offerings of the gym, especially as it became more established and none of these things changed. I've had positive experiences here, but if you're looking for the true CrossFit experience, I'd check out the sister gym or others in the area. read more

It's true that getting and staying in shape requires time, motivation and consistency. This can be hard 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! read more

This place rocks! Sean and the rest of the coaches here know what they're talking about and have created a great environment to develop strength and mobility with CrossFit. The community is engaged and supportive and I genuinely look forward to each workout. Also convenient class times and open gym throughout the day make it easy with scheduling. A true neighborhood gem! read more

Sean and the rest of the team at City Crossfit are simply AMAZING.

I spent months at other gyms and saw no results or improvements which was a little disappointing because I was 100% committed to changing my lifestyle the trainers at other gyms only care about getting paid and don't really care about your fitness goals 3 months ago I came across Sean P who has been training me and has been pushing me to my max which I appreciate he knows exactly what he is talking about his work out programs are amazing and the facility is great the other members are super friendly and the rest of the staff are very professional and cool which is a plus it makes working out fun and the results are REAL!!! read more

Training at City CrossFit got me back on track after I stopped playing college sports. Even while playing college basketball, I was in shape but my mobility was terrible--and I had no clue! The movements that were hardest for me, which included a simple squat since my hips were so tight, were merely avoided. Now, it's the complete opposite. Sean knows the injuries I've had and can spot immediately how my movements compensate. All of our work is targeted to build the baseline strength and mobility I need to get stronger without getting hurt. read more

Great place to train Crossfit. There is an awesome sense of community here and no ego from any level of Cross-fitters here so even if you are a beginner, you still feel welcomed and part of the community. I can tell Sean stays current with the latest mobility techniques and strength programs and furthermore, he can tailor it to meet your specific needs whether you are recovering from an injury, want to build and increase overall strength or especially if you are an athlete needing to gain a competitive edge in your respective sport. I was recovering from an injury and surgery and Sean found a great balance between designing a challenging program for me yet being mindful not to overstrain myself and thus potentially regress my recovery process. Check this place out, it's totally worth it! read more

I met Coach Sean when I was a member of their sister gym, telegraph crossfit, but sadly had to quit when I started a new job and the location was no longer convenient. When I heard this gym was opening up down the street from me I was excited! Sean is a great coach! He is friendly, motivating and always makes sure you have the correct form. I'm happy to be working out with him again. He has a special deal for new members right now so give him a call! read more

I have had the pleasure of training with and knowing City Crossfit owner/ instructor Sean for a good 5 years. He was my very first Crossfit coach at a gym in San Diego before opening City Crossfit. Being super out of shape and not athletic I struggled through the workouts physically and mentally. With time and most importantly with the moral/ emotional support and the excellent coaching Sean provided I was able to get to a point where I was comfortable going to classes and enjoyed the workouts. He was very mindful about programming and even though it was a group class he kept everyone's individual needs in mind and would accommodate them as needed. Since Sean no longer resides in San Diego I currently do online coaching with him. He still provides the same amount of care and excellent coaching/programming as he did in person and I couldn't be happier. read more

Had the opportunity to work out with the head trainer, Sean for a few months while staying in SF. During that time he helped me increase my hip mobility with which I have struggled with my entire life. All my lifts along with my physique improved tremendously through his coaching, programming, and nutrition plan. It's a first class gym with first class coaching. Can't really say enough good things. If you're looking for a gym in SF, look know further. Great coaching, atmosphere, and equipment. read more

This is friendly, generous, and open box. After evacuating from the Tubbs and Nuns fires in Sonoma County, I ended up in Bernal Heights with a friend, and I reached out to City CrossFit to see if they'd let me work out. Not only did Angel call me within the hour, but he offered a friendliness and generosity that meant the world to me. Coach Taylor was warm and welcoming at the gym, full of great coaching tips and terrible jokes ;) Thanks again for all of your support, City CrossFit. Please come visit us up in Sonoma at EA's when you have time. #SonomaStrong read more

I'm new to crossfit and I gotta say this place is a hidden gem. I found it 3 or 4 months ago, just saw the sign from Mission St. and since I was looking for a new place to replace my old gym in Palo Alto, I decided to give it a try. I got in touch with Sean, the main coach, over Facebook. He's one of the best coaches I ever had and I think that makes the difference. He's funny, caring, and dedicated. He makes sure you're doing the exercises the right way, yet he challenges you so you always keep progressing. The facilities are good, it's a new place and new weights are being added, and new spaces remodeled. It still feels like the old auto body shop, but I think it adds to the atmosphere. We have all we need to train and more. The crossfit program is great as far as I know, if you are experienced you'll probably want to talk to Sean about specifics, but if you're new I think the program is great in terms of strength, conditioning, general mobility and overall wellness. I was mostly doing classes + free weights before and I feel coming here I got all of that condensed in a 1 hour class. Last but not least, the people that train here are awesome :) read more
