Reception
Robert W.

I would say Fitness SF - Marin is more of a 3.5 stars, but doesn't have those intangibles where I would round up to 4 stars. Usually when I asses a gym there are several key variables I consider or weigh in joining or motivating me to want to routinely workout. These variables are newness or quality of the equipment, size of the facility and spacing of the equipment, how crowded and attitude of the folks that work out, the employees and how personability they are, and price and cleanliness for what you get. The pluses I like about Fitness SF-Marin, is the employees and the trainers I've engaged with were all nice and respectfull and seemed to want to help out where they could. Additionally the pricing is very reasonable and cheaper if you go with a yearly membership on a month by month average. The place is clean from what I can tell and an added benefit for me is this location is quite proximal to where I live. The drawbacks to this gym and is the obvious footprints size density or tightness. I get what they want to achieve if they have more equipment it'll allow more people access to those said equipment. To that point of equipment, the equipment they have is a bit antiquated and not modernized with latest bio-mechanical movements. A rememedy to make it larger is to use the area outside and buld-out to incorporate that footprint for covered area workout. I'm sure easier said than done. Since things are so tight its overly dense with people just moving around and getting space and access to both fee and machine weights, coupled by lots of high schoolers congregating. Overall Fitness SF-Marin isnt a bad place to work out, and in fact I enjoy it, but there are obvious changes they could do to really elevate this place.

Great gym and happy they have a day pass. There is free parking in the back. It was decently busy on a Saturday morning. They have 4 Olympic weight lifting areas and a hip thrust machine. Plenty of space to stretch and recover. Good set of free weights and cardio. Some of their weight machines could use updating, everyone seemed friendly.

Men's locker

Gender discrimination at its finest. As a female, you walk in, ready to hit the weights, only to find out you've gotta cough up 50 cents just to use a locker. What is this? A laundromat? Meanwhile, my man strolls in and snags one for free on the male side. So, I'm like, "What's the deal?" I go up to the front desk and ask, and all they can offer me is a half-hearted, "I can give you 50 cents if you need it." Seriously? How about you either make all lockers free or at least put up a sign saying you've got change for every woman who walks through those doors? It's time for this gym to step up and treat everyone equally. I included some pictures of both lockers for comparison.

Tried to sign up. They require proof of vaccine. Didn't expect that from a gym in Marin County where that is not even a requirement.

Is there a hack squat machine?

Yes there is!

When will group fitness classes return to Fitness SF Marin?

Hello Kayla, thanks for reaching out. We do not have plans to bring Group Fitness back to this specific location. You can find our Group Fitness classes at 3 of our 8 Bay Area gyms: Fillmore, Transbay, and Oakland.

How is this gym still open while sf is in the purple tier?

Hello! We have an Outdoor Gym located right behind our facility. We've brought out a large number of machines, platforms, and equipment for our members to use. Everything is spaced out for social distancing purposes, everyone is wearing a mask at… Read more

Is there a free trial I can do before getting a membership?

Hello Behesta, yes you can do a Complimentary 1-Day Trial as long as you live or work in the Bay Area. This is a trial in the sense that you get to use the gym first before signing up for anything.

I want to highly recommend Maria Molina as a personal trainer at the Bay Club, Marin. I initially…read morestarted working with Maria to recover from a knee injury. I wanted to strengthen my leg muscles so that I could return to playing tennis. As someone who is over 80 yrs old, I was somewhat skeptical that weight training could make a big difference in my athletic abilities but one year and half later of training with Maria and I believe I'm more physically fit than I was in my 40's. Everything is easier (i.e., walking up stairs, carrying heavy loads, keeping up with grandkids ,etc.) To say my quality of life has improved due to my work with Maria is an understatement, Maria is a consummate professional. She explains exercises clearly, pays attention to form and keeps sessions motivating and enjoyable. One day when I was lifting weights on my own at the gym, a gentleman commented, "I see that you are experienced with weight lifting, Your form is perfect. You must have been doing this for many years." I give Maria full credit for teaching me the right (safe) way to lift. I occasionally have a few sore muscles but recovery is quick after a workout. Probably the most important thing I've learned from Maria is to believe in myself. Sometimes she tries a new exercise that I think is impossible for me to achieve, let alone master. Her confidence is unwavering and has a profound effect on my mental attitude. I see few women my age working out with weights at the Bay Club. I hope this review will encourage someone who is considering personal training to contact Maria. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish with her expert guidance.

Her classes are high-energy, fun, and always a fantastic workout. What sets her apart is her contagious positivity--she's genuinely happy to be there with us, and it shows. Every workout with Violet leaves you in a great mood. I only wish she taught more than just Ignite--I'd follow her to any class! --Helen is exceptional. She's not only an amazing instructor, but also a standout leader and role model. She teaches a variety of classes and every single one is top-notch. Her glutes class in particular literally kicks ass--in the best way! --Meg is one of the best TRX instructors I've ever had. Her instruction is clear, her class structure is thoughtful, and the challenge level increases over time, which I truly appreciate. She also provides great options for those wanting to push further. Bay Club is incredibly lucky to have these phenomenal teachers. I hope they are recognized and supported--because they absolutely deserve it!

My husband and I have been working out together with Gerard for 5 months or so and he has been…read morenothing short of amazing. He tailors the workouts to match our ability, but also pushes us so that we get stronger. When we both started, we didn't have a lot of stamina or strength and would tire easily. Now we feel stronger and more energized. Gerard is extremely knowledgeable about fitness and muscle building/toning and focuses attention on all areas of the body, giving us a full body workout. One of the best parts is that what he's taught us are exercises we can do almost anywhere! Fitness aside, Gerard is also a wonderful person, easy to talk to, listens to what you are looking for, and is really easy to get along with! He's super flexible and adjusts the workouts based on our schedules. We love that he comes to our gym and makes it easy for us to work out. If you're looking for a personal trainer, look no further! I've done several classes and joined different gyms and I can honestly say that going the extra mile with a personal trainer is well worth it. And Gerard is the best personal trainer around!

I found Gerard through Bark and met him, did the assessment and signed up for a package. He then proceeded to change the date of our meeting times twice (once on the actual day), and he completely didn't show on another time and claimed we had agreed on a different time but I sent him a photo of our text exchange to prove we hadn't. I believe in giving folks chances, but this was the third time of flaking and at this point I asked for my money back. He was ok with that and claimed he'd send me a check. Then a week went by. Then two. Then two more. He said it "got lost in the mail"--I waited another month. He still claimed he'd drop by with it and he never did. Eventually, I had to file a claim with my credit card company to get my money back. The owner of the gym even asked Gerard to leave because he's done this to other people too. Find someone more reliable.

My daughter attends the Saturday morning gymnastics class. Unfortunately, our experience has been…read morevery inconsistent depending on the instructor. Shawn, the instructor who teaches at the same time is excellent, he interacts with the children, encourages them, gives positive feedback, and creates a supportive learning environment. The kids in his group seem engaged and confident. However, the female instructors assigned to the other group have been very disappointing. They show the course once and then mostly stand and watch. There is very little interaction, no encouragement, and no guidance throughout the class. These are 4- and 5-year-old children who need support, engagement, and positive reinforcement. I rarely hear a "good job" or see active coaching. Week after week, the level of enthusiasm and involvement from these instructors has been lacking. For young children especially, energy, facial expression, encouragement, and interaction make a huge difference in their experience and development. I truly hope the program can ensure a consistent standard of quality across all instructors, because the difference between groups is very noticeable.

I was disappointed with a phone call regarding payment after I had already entered my credit card…read moreon the website. When I asked what the payment was for, I was repeatedly talked over and the staff member (Auriyon) seemed put out by having to explain. The call began by noting it was recorded for training purposes, so hopefully Roger reviews these calls and uses them as a coaching opportunity.
