The facility is always clean, the equipment is modern and well-maintained, and there's plenty of space so it never feels overcrowded even during busy hours. The locker rooms are also really nice and kept in great condition. One of the highlights of this location is the staff. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a good environment for members. Nick in particular stands out. He's always helpful, professional, and brings great energy to the gym. Whether it's answering questions or just making people feel welcome. Additionally, Fitness SF outperforms the local competition; five points fitness, body kinetics, and the bay club all have worse hours, higher prices, and worse equipment (significantly worse regarding five points) If you're serious about building your physique, or just want a high quality, friendly environment to work out in, this gym is right for you If you or anyone you know truly believes an alternative gym in Marin is better than Fitness SF, your IQ is most likely lower than your bench. BUT! That's ok! Switch to Fitness SF and our community and equipment will get you right, physically and mentally. I know for a fact if you come here for just one month you'll never want to switch back to your old gym. Overall, its a fantastic place to work out. Great equipment, great atmosphere, and great staff. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality gym in the area. Oh and I almost forgot we've got some wonderful massage chairs for post lift relaxation.

Come. Try it out. Have fun. Get stronger. CrossFit Marin has morning, afternoon and evening classes…read moreto suit any schedule, and there are plenty of concurrent classes so that parents with kids of any age can work out at the same time. It's the best gig in town. Our first experience with CrossFit Marin was at their weekly Sunday afternoon classes at Town Park in Corte Madera. We saw a couple of athletic guys setting up a tumbling and gymnastics course next to the playground, and signed our two boys (3 and 5) up for a drop-in gymnastics class. The boys had fun, learned some new moves, and worked off a Sunday-morning-worth of energy. Andres de la Rosa and Roger Harrell told us about their program and invited us to check out their gym over at Tamal Plaza. A couple of weeks later, I signed the boys up for gymnastics once a week. While I watched those first few classes, it quickly became clear that the CrossFit Marin team are patient, talented and positive teachers for both the littlest tumblers (whose attention often wanders) and those kids who have had more experience (who may need more focus and harder challenges). And as we spent more time at the gym, I saw how our boys' natural flexibility and strength were being enhanced by balance work, skill training and fun games during class. The prices are very reasonable, so we quickly went from once a week to twice a week for the boys, and I started chatting with the trainers (thanks, Bill!) about their adult CrossFit program. Now comes the personal part: I have a lousy body image. I was a plump unathletic little kid, and as an adult have always been more inclined to play Scrabble than racquetball, if you get my meaning. So it took a couple of weeks of watching at the gym before I was willing to open myself up to trying an adult CrossFit class. And you know what? It turns out I'm *great* at it! Sure, I can't really do many pushups yet, and I can't yet do a chinup, but for the first time I can actually see myself getting there one day. I'm learning ways to work toward those goals. I'm getting stronger every week. The focus at CrossFit Marin is on strength and overall conditioning, so the workouts are really varied -- we've done skill work on everything from deadlifts and pullups to juggling and balance beam, so I feel like I'm always making progress. They can scale a workout for any skill level. Can't do a pullup? Keep one foot supported! Can do 50 pullups? Wear a weight vest! They can even work around past injuries so that you can come to the gym even if you have, say, a bad back or a chronic knee condition. If you think you're strong, you'll get stronger, and if you think you aren't fit, you'll discover strengths you didn't know you had. There is always something new to work toward, and they welcome whatever you bring to the table (or the floor in this case). Bottom line? I am working harder and feeling better about myself than I have in years, and I can do it at the same time as the kids are doing their classes. So they see me being active, and they're well-cared-for and busy while I'm focusing on my own health and well-being. Roger, Andres and the rest of the CrossFit Marin team are talented, open-minded, positive and committed to teaching all ages and skill levels. Their gym promotes community, hard work and good habits, but without the posturing or 'sales' mentality of some other local facilities. They love what they do -- helping people to grow stronger and more physically confident -- and it shows.

Coaches- The coaches here are amazingly good at what they do. Marcus (one of the owners) has a knowledge and passion for fitness that is great to be around, and even a bit contagious, I feel very safe and comfortable that I'm"m in good hands with the coaches here. They're all MORE then just Crossfit certified, but all have extensive backgrounds in fitness, sports, anatomy and coaching. Which is a big thing for me, b/c with all the heavy lifting going on paired with the competitive atmosphere that a WOD can create, it's important to have someone 'watch your back'. The gym-.. first of all, you won't find a crossfit gym with state of the art equipment (which I love!) but it's got EVERYTHING needed to modify any movement or for a heavy weight champ or pro athlete to train daily. Everything you could possible need is there. I like the 'cage' (I believe it's called) for pull ups, racks, dips.. There's tons of space, and decent ventilation.. everything is very organized too :-) The Classes- There aren't that many classes.. but it's OK. There's about 4 a day, first @ 5:45AM, last at 6PM... There have been classes Mon thru Sat, but they're starting a Sunday class too which I'm stoked about!! The times there are classes works really well for my schedule. I'd guess about a dozen people is the average of the classes I've been to. The WODs are very intense, classes are 60 minutes.. The warm-up is quick and effective and a majority of the 60 minutes is pretty much nonstop. Pricing - reasonable, a little more then some of the other CF gyms around, but less then most of the others. For the quality of the class, equipment, & coaching it's a great deal! .. Plus you can go to any of the 4 locations. You're not locked into the gym you sign up at. I'm surprised this is the first review! ... ... anyway, hope it was helpful!!

I transitioned from group classes to individual design programming and training with Marcus Filly a few years back and as soon as Revival Strength opened their doors I made the leap to join them. It's the most welcoming atmospheres for training I've every experienced. Whether you are just starting your fitness or healthy lifestyle journey or are a seasoned veteran everyone is welcomed and encouraged. Unlike group classes, you don't feel the need to compete with anyone but yourself and at the same time you have people encouraging your training from the knowledgable floor coaches to other members in the gym, everyone wants your training to be successful for you and without judgement. I am very competitive but have had many injuries do to sports and the group class environment tends to make me want to push through issues that I need to step back and fix. Revival Strength and their coaching staff has made this a possibility, not just physically but mentally to be able to step back and approach training in different ways depending on physical issues and other stresses in my life. Oh! and don't forget their nutrition programs as well. If I've learned anything in the last few years it's that so much of our physical and mental issues can be tied to our gut health. Check it out for yourself, I promise you won't be disappointed!

I love the Y and appreciate the amenities available to the community. I have only one concern and…read moreit is that lifeguards do not enforce their basic rules for lap swim. In the last month alone, I have experienced 3 incidents where someone just suddenly appeared in my lane, in front of me while I was swimming. When swimming freestyle, you generally are looking down and if someone is suddenly in front of you, it is difficult to stop in time to avoid a collision. On each occasion, I questioned the person to ask, "where did you come from, how are you in this lane?" All of these swimmers seemed oblivious to the rules, 1: You enter at the deep end only, not in the middle of a lane from an adjoining lane. 2: You make visual or verbal contact with other swimmers when entering their lane and communicate if you're circle swimming or parallel swimming. 3: You never enter in the middle of a lane. I live in fear of a collision because I have 4 small plates holding my cervical spine in place. But the concerning thing to me, is where are the lifeguards. They are literally sitting and watching and never instruct these scofflaws. What are they doing? Another example was the woman doing a backstroke in the "Walking" lanes, literally colliding with bathers and continued even when she was asked to move over to a swim lane by others. I'm just going to say, an accident is bound to happen unless they clean this up, soon. Perhaps it isn't a responsibility of the lifeguards to monitor for these incidents, but I got scolded once for being "too fast," for a slower lane. Made me laugh because I hadn't swam in 5 years and felt it was appropriate for me to start there. So, I know the guards are monitoring something. Let's just hope nothing bad happens, I guess.
