You're going to get a great workout at any Orangetheory location and Greenbrae is no exception. Group fitness classes really help me push myself further than I ever would during a solo workout. As a result my fitness levels have improved a ton and I've learned to love the rower. In addition to excellent workouts this Greenbrae location has a wonderful community feel, including member appreciation nights. Coaches are incredibly friendly and helpful. They're happy to modify workouts for you or give you an extra challenge if you need it. If you're on the fence, give it a try! I'm glad I did.

Great gym with friendly help and courteous respectful members. I've been a member for past two…read moreyears. Feels like a little "gym community". Membership is mostly all adults with occasional teens, so no horseplay with kids running around as is the case at the Marin YMCA, which I've also been a member at over the years. I think it's a pretty good value for what you get, and the owner seems to replace/upgrade some equipment each year. Never overly crowded and can usually get through a workout at your own pace without having to wait for a machine or weight area to free up. The outdoor "gym" is nice to have for a change of pace, too, especially when the weather is good (quite frequently in Marin!). There are a ton of classes to sign up for whatever you're into: Zumba, cycling, pilates, personal training, etc. and some are free with the membership. Good sauna, but it would be really great if the steam room was working, which it hasn't since I've been a member. Also refreshing that there are no "towel Nazis" monitoring the towel allocation when I head to the shower. Nice to have a convenient parking lot to park in (although whoever owns it really really really needs to repave it and increase the lighting; it's pretty dark in the lot at night, and if I were a woman I'd be a little nervous walking to my car. Location-wise, it's very convenient with the added benefit you can go get a (light!) beer at Pond Farm after your workout! All in all, I highly recommend Body Kinetics. I've only been to the San Rafael fitness center so can't comment on the other locations. BK is not Equinox or Bay Club, but it has all you really need at an affordable price.

It's low key, quiet, people don't bug you, the equipment is top and well cared for. The classes are varied and there's a time for everyone. I've barely scratched the surface of possible workouts here- in 6 mos.

Super nice and helpful staff. I'm happy.

I think this will be the first review since they were closed from December 8 to December 22 for…read morerenovations. First off, this isn't my home gym. I only come to this one because of the location when I'm visiting family in the Bay Area. When you think of Sausalito, you think upscale, well-managed, personable, and impressionable. Not really the vibe I got at this Anytime Fitness center. You should have stayed closed until everything was cleaned up and ready for a grand re-opening. I came in the other night when it was pouring rain and, to be honest, I wasn't not really impressed with the new set-up compared to what it was before. When I first walked in, I was immediately met with the smell of sweat, some other funky stale odors, and just an overall feeling of cringe and ick. Let's just say I've been to better gyms that actually make a conscious effort to feel welcoming when you "badge in." The storage cubby area for personal items was overflowing with water bottles, sweaters/jackets, workout towels, and clothes balled up in the corner that have just been left there. Primary source of the smell, I think. No accountability, no apparent care for cleanliness. FAIL!!! A side office door with a "Redlight Sauna Therapy" sign next to it was off the hinges with boxes inside, in plain view, that I can only assume were left there from the recent renovation. Floor mats at the front entrance off to the side that weren't laid down and interconnected, just stacked one on top of the other. The color palette is bland and not energetic. Grey and White? Seriously? Stick with the primary brand and accent colors: Blurple, Purple, White, Red/Orange, and Green/Turquoise. You should know this! Where's the "Inspiration Wall Board" for members to write words of motivation for other members? The brick and mortar "Anytime Fitness" logo wall with supplements is also gone/missing. If this was meant to be a soft opening, you missed the mark entirely. I'm not Joey Swoll, but overall, I'd say "you need to do better." So what's changed, positively? There's a new gym set-up/floor plan from when I was here last year, 2024. The spin class / group training studio is no longer there and has been opened up to include 4 new squat racks, a cable pulley machine, and flat bench rack. On the other side, it's still very much the same with the mirrored wall and free weights as well as the purple turf training area with TRX bands and medicine balls. There are two new treadmills, I think. The track mat/belts feel a little flimsy and could use some tightening. The massage chair room is still there. 4 unisex restrooms, only one has a shower. I loved coming here before the renovation, but now, I'm not so sure. You have a lot to improve on and make better in order to make me ever reconsider coming back here.

There are an abundance of reformers (top notch) a couple Cadillacs, chairs, ladders, many rings, rollers, balls, and so much more. If you can't find what you want to use for your workout, you're not trying. Tamar is fantastic! She's innovative, fun, focused, a great communicator, intuitive, has an excellent personality and memory, and while I keep thinking about how her talents are not being used on me because of my age and physical limitations, she never seems like she is thinking that way. She finds new ways to open up tight places and create flexibility that I thought I lost years ago. Her energy and enthusiasm is wonderful because I am excited to keep trying to do more at home even with small movements. I look forward to working there each week. The parking is easy and ingress and egress is a breeze, which is not always true for places in Marin. Everyone is friendly and seems delighted to be there. There is a small shop area with some fun things. I didn't check the prices, but the clothes were casual and nicely organized for quick viewing.

They have a reformer room that is spacious, bright, and peaceful; as well as a cadillac room, and a large airy, sunshiny space with several towers and ladder barrels.

I actually loved going to the Dailey method. The exercises were challenging and the teachers were…read morevery kind and patient. Some of them were really fun! I've always enjoyed a structured workout and this is what TDM gives you. But like any studio anywhere, there are always pros and cons. PROS: - Clean studios - friendly staff - there is a shower and a type of day care for kids - challenging exercises that can be modified. - free parking CONS: - there's only one shower and bathroom so it can get packed real quick. - the space (at least in Corte madera) is very small and tight. - they're not a lot of day care options available. - not as many classes as some would like, especially in the evenings. - not a very diverse clientele- but that's not the studios fault (at least I hope it's not) - parking is limited - VERY EXPENSIVE. And they are always finding ways to charge you extra. For example, there's a no show fee of $15/class. I get that they charge to encourage you to go to class because another person could've take your spot if you canceled but they don't actually have that many people going in at once. Every time I went in, there was always space. For unlimited bar classes, I believe it costs $179 but if you want to engage in unlimited cycling and barre classes, the price jumps to over $200. I understand that these classes aren't suppose to be cheap because you are paying for the instructors time and the studio space but yesh, that's quite steep, especially since it's not a Pilates studios that requires a specific machine or any at all. The introductory package (21 days of unlimited barre and cycling) cost $75! I think that's what I'm most put off by. They are still charging so much for someone just to try it out and they don't even give you the full month to try it out. I have decent job in the Bay Area that allows me to pay for that but I still don't want to throw down that much. I gave it a try but I don't think I'd be going back. I've seen a lot of other studios that make a greater commitment to their students health at a much lesser cost and I think I'll support those types of studio. For example, Red Dragon Yoga studios also costs over $100 (I think it's around $129) for unlimited studio use but they have an intro deal of $30 for unlimited yoga at any of their locations. They also (as far as I know) don't threaten students with extra costs if they suddenly can't show up. Again, there are pros and cons to everything so I'd recommend trying at least once, that is if you want to spend money here.

While I find the workouts fun, the coaches and other members at this gym really make the difference for me. Everyone - from owner to the coaches and members is welcoming and supportive. They are serious about staying fit, but they don't take themselves too seriously. Coaches encourage me to challenge myself but never push me to do anything I don't really want to do.
