I'm usually an orange theory type but I needed something different. This place has been pretty perfect as I continue to recover.

I'm new to this level of weight lifting but after going regularly to the 6am class with Zach, I feel so much more confident. It's been helpful to have a coach who provides alternatives so I can focus on recovery while building strength. Every week I'm getting better and stronger.

She was so friendly and welcoming from the get go. I knew it was going to be a fun one! My favorite thing about Epic is that no class is the same. This was super high energy and cardio focused with eight rounds we did FIVE times. I was sore for days! It's only 45 minutes including the warmup and cool down, but you really get a ton out of it. The studio itself is smaller than the one I'm used to but there were about eight people that came and room for everyone to move about. It also felt very clean and I appreciated Dan mopping up our sweat as things went along.

I saw this as a really great way to launch my fitness journey and kick-start a new me! After a few email exchanges, I worked with Jenn P. to set me up for the 6-weeks. She also took some measurements / pictures and loaded me up with information on how to eat and how to prepare for the challenge with EPIC. I worked hard and showed up to classes 5 days a week and ate according to the meal plan. I really enjoyed the classes and I loved how encouraging all of the instructors were during the challenge. All of the instructors were so friendly and really encouraged me to extend myself a little more or push a little harder and I really think that was key in my workouts. I mean, who doesn't work harder when people are rooting for them? I didn't really lose any weight for this challenge, but it wasn't really my goal to. What i did get was a new-found appreciation for workouts that challenge you and are super fun, but don't leave you feeling like you've been hit by a bus. I also accomplished two major things during my 6 weeks - being able to complete the traverse down and back again and make it to the top of the rope climb. Feeling super positive about what is to come in the next 6 weeks of my fitness journey, but I can tell you that this is the lowest body fat percentage I've been at in a WHILE! :)

Unfortunately, I didn't really feel that safe going back to a bigger gym that were questionably spaced out. I walked by United Barbell a few times before I actually felt really comfortable with their safety precautions and got myself back in class. In my previous review, I took away one star because I really felt like all the people were very experienced and the instructors didn't cater to newbies like me. I will take it all back now because I've now taken classes with Olivia, Kristie and Brian..and they were all seriously fantastic about walking me through the movements and giving me really great feedback/input. Maybe it is because the classes are smaller? or maybe it is because I tell them upfront that I have no idea what I'm doing and need a refresher? Either way, it's working and I feel like I'm getting the right level of support and guidance to do the workouts safely. I have really truly been enjoying the workouts here. Better yet, you are able to see the workouts on the SugarWOD app (it's free!) when you add United Barbell as a community.

Albert from day one explained the approach he would take to help build me back up after this injury. Albert put together a good plan that we have stuck to for the past few months. The results speak for themselves after training with him for almost three months now. He helped me tidy up my diet as well and I have gained 5lbs of muscle and lost 3lbs of fat.

Being a trainer at Crossfit OneWorld in Union City CA, I have found the owner of this particular gym a great resource in the city. I have had the pleasure of meeting Eric in person and found him to be of great character and great knowledge. He is passionate and driven, in ensuring his clients receive the proper guidance in following the crossfit model. While many crossfit gyms focus more on the quantitative figures like times and weights, Eric is more concerned with quality lifting and legitimate programming. I hear from one of his clients who I am in frequent contact with, always tell me how much he focusses on her weaknesses, perfecting her front squat, clean and jerk, or just motivating her through a grueling WOD. Crossfit is not for everyone, as I've learned in my years as a trainer, but as a nurse who works in the intensive care unit on my spare time, it should be the focus in preventive medicine. Crossfit PH, offers a means to end cardiovascular insult with constantly varied functional exercises performed at high intensity and break through nutritional guidance that is showing documented changes in current medical literature. It provides the newest of members and the strongest of athletes the ability to train side by side in competition with scalable workouts that meets each individuals capabilities, providing cohesion and camaraderie that is not seen in any other gym or exercise program. I have had the pleasure of working out in many cross-fit gyms and Crossfit PH is by far the best one available to any SF resident. I hope you take the time to visit this friendly environment, and give this more than a new years resolution chance, the results are amazing! read more

This is a rewrite. I decided to overhaul my review because, after rereading my first review, I realized it could be viewed as critical of World Gym and the Crossfit program. I have nothing but good things to say about the gym and the program. My beef is with the main Crossfit trainer, Eric. The problem stems from an incident a couple of weeks ago. I tried to attend the 6:30p class with my girlfriend. This wasn't an easy task -- we are both professionals who work late, and she works in Pleasanton. We both had to make monumental efforts to coordinate our schedules, leaving work early, then traveling many miles in order to make the class. Like I said, Crossfit is great, so it's worth the extreme effort. But to my shock, the head trainer -- Eric -- refused us entry, even though the class was still going through warm ups. Eric could have easily let us in, but instead chose to openly scold us -- "You can't come in because you're late, and now I'm spending time dealing with you instead of training the class." The logic, of course, escaped him -- if he had just let us participate, he wouldn't have been "dealing" with us. I guess $25 per class -- plus my 20+ years of workout experience, including five doing Crossfit -- wasn't sufficient reason to allow me in. Jerk move. It made me realize that Eric treats his clients like dirt. I was especially offended because I've been supportive of his fledgling program from day one. I guess this is the way Eric treats his clients. read more

I have been doing CrossFit at CFPH for 2 years now, and since that time I've seen the community nearly double. Beyond the fact that CrossFit is an addictive and effective lifestyle, there's a reason why people who begin working out at CrossFit Potrero Hill stick with it: CFPH is not a place that takes its members for granted. When the membership outgrew the old space inside World Gym, CFPH responded by: -Relocating quickly and seamlessly to a massive (4x bigger) new space right across the street -Investing in a ton of new equipment -Increasing the number of coaches -Expanding the class schedule *and* adding new class options, such as Mobility/Stretching, an Advanced Competitor class, and Open Gym on Sundays. CrossFit can look intimidating from the outside, but inside CFPH there's a supportive coaching staff that is concerned with technique, safety and results. In fact, I recently dropped by a "regular" gym for a quick workout, and the things I saw horrified me. People doing terribly unsafe and ineffective things with weights. It made me realize how much I appreciate that my workouts are performed under the guidance of CrossFit coaches who are constantly correcting my form and helping me improve. The upshot is that when I go to exercise at CFPH, I also get to socialize, compete and have fun. And, in my daily physical life outside of CrossFit, I've gained strength and stamina, and attained a new level of focus on safe an efficient movement. read more

I spent the last 20 or so years following a workout regimen that I thought was a superior form however it became monotonous and I could tell my body had plateaued. I was constantly searching for a new workout that was challenging, rewarding and pushed me to another level. That workout I found was CrossFit. My buddy Joe got me into CrossFit at World Gym in Potrero Hill. Since I have been doing it for 2 months now I have seen tremendous progress in my strength, cardio and agility. Every time I leave class I feel stronger and healthier. The instructors Eric, Chris and Joe are extremely informative and spend one on one time with you every class to improve form and posture and make sure you're doing the exercise correctly. If you ever played sports in High School or College and you're looking for that missing team or camaraderie element then this is the place for you. Every instructor and class member is there to cheer you on and help you reach your fitness goals. Our motto is "Everything Counts" and when you come experience CrossFit first hand you'll understand what that means. CrossFit Potrero Hill has changed my life and my whole idea of fitness has changed for the better. p.s. People in the gym who think we're too loud need to not be scared and come give it a try. read more

"The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco." Is a quote oft attributed to Mark Twain. While the origin is untrue the statement rings true. This city by the bay legendary for it's brisk and unforgiving weather only matched by it's denizens can snatch the sparkle from the eye of even the most cockeyed optimist. There is a place where the cold and the callous nature of this town possess no purchase. And that is inside the walls of CrossFit Potrero Hill. Step foot inside these magnificently curated walls and you will find respite from rigidity as well as a fitness culture as excellent as it is kind. Spacious, well equipped, and more importantly professionally run this gym stands above many of its peers as a haven for those looking to chase wellness through fitness. If you believe like I do that exercise is medicine and CrossFit Potrero Hill is the clinic dealing the good stuff. read more

He showed me how clean the gym was, what sort of machines the facility had, and the overall experience I would have if I signed up. Safe to say he convinced me. Here I am now. Thanks, Ryan! You're awesome!

Lot of regulars who workout here, so everyone very efficient. Staff is all very friendly and nice as well! In particular, 2 people working the front desk have always been very helpful and supportive! Alec and Ryan! They always greet me with a warm welcome and provide some motivation, awesome to see day in and day out and love seeing those guys. Would be awesome to get some new weight machines, not much has changed in the last few years. The cardio machines are nice but mainly that area stays less crowded, perhaps removing a row of treadmills or bikes for squat racks would do well for the location. Only real feedback that took a point off for me: please get new hair dryers!! Fillmore location has dry bar and Dyson hair dryers, but the mid market location hair dryers feel like kids toys! lol, not a big deal, but if you gym before work and shower etc, it's such a pain to dry your hair.

This is undoubtedly the best investment I've ever made for myself! From the variety of classes to…read morethe amenities to the fitness equipment, no other gym in the city can compare to its standards

I've had mostly positive experiences here, though today caught me a bit off guard. In general, I've…read morenoticed that most coaches are friendly and approachable, even when they're working with clients. Today, I was looking for a jump rope and asked one of the coaches if I could ask a quick question. They weren't actively speaking with or coaching their client at the moment--the client was in the middle of a set--but the response I received was a flat, "I'm with a client." I'm not sure if I misunderstood gym etiquette or if I was in the wrong, but the interaction felt inconsistent with my prior experiences, where trainers have been more welcoming or at least able to briefly point someone in the right direction. I later went to the front desk and learned that the jump ropes are kept behind the counter, which isn't a constant across all locations. Overall, given the membership cost, I think there's an opportunity to create a slightly better experience in moments like this--especially when someone is simply looking for quick guidance.

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.

A personal trainer is a person who should inspire you, motivate you, and challenge you to live a…read morehealthy lifestyle. A personal trainer should get to know your past and help you find a path for a more successful future. A personal trainer should take the time to listen to your needs and help you find a way to reach your goals. Wilson has done all the above. In mid November, I decided enough was enough. I was tired of eating unhealthy, lying around the house being lazy, and watching life pass me by. I decided to begin my fitness journey by signing up for personal training with Wilson. It was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made. Wilson is an amazing coach and trainer. I love his attention to detail; he watches my form carefully and corrects as needed, he explains the exercises in detail and explains which muscles are being targeted, he assists when it is needed, and always provides encouragement. I appreciate how he recognizes when I am making progress. He has helped me by creating workout plans that I can do on my own-- I love that, because you really do need structure and a plan whenever you set foot into a gym. I am motivated to live a healthier life, have a consistent gym routine, and feel much more happier as a person. Wilson has been a great influence and mentor to me. He made going to the gym feel less scary and has inspired me to stay focused and work hard. I have gotten results I never thought would have been possible, and I feel much more confident in myself that I can live a fit and healthy lifestyle. Wilson is an authentic person who really wants you to succeed, and an amazing teacher, coach, and trainer. I am really happy I took the leap to step out of my comfort zone and work out with him. He really listens to what you want to achieve and helps you get there. If you are ready to put in the work and see what is possible, I absolutely recommend working with him. Thank you, Wilson, for helping me begin my journey. I truly appreciate you.

My trainer Darren listened carefully and is helping me meet my goals, plus is a very kind and supportive person. Its simple to sign up for independent workouts or group classes and the best part is that its all personal, with none of the "gymbro" vibe or having to wander a facility because all of your preferred machines or stations are taken. It's kind of been a game changer for me, and I recommend MX3 Fitness to everyone reading this.
