The teacher's here, especially Ms. Laura, have pushed her and nurtured her all along the way. The yearly recitals are so well organized and carried out and as a parent I am impressed year after year. The lessons learned here will carry her into a future as a strong, confident, funny person. Watching all this transitioned to online classes during SIP has been amazing. I cannot recommend this studio enough.

This is a long overdue review for San Francisco Dance Space. My daughter has been a student there…read morefor 10 years now. We first joined SFDS when my daughter was two years old because we lived in the neighborhood and she wanted to wear a tutu. Fast forward and she is a dedicated dancer with SFDS. Her love of dance and dedication to ballet is due to the dedication, passion and skill of the business owner, Laura and her team. My daughter has landed roles in city-wide dance performances with the education she has had at SFDS. At the end of every year, like most practices, SFDS puts on a performance. This performance is above and beyond anything you wold imagine. I am talking the real deal - the costumes, the props, the whole performance is next level. I also want to add that Ms. Laura (the business owner) is a gem. She is a true teacher in the sense that she is vested in all of the children who attend her program. Recently, SFDS was forced to pivot their approach from in-person sessions to telepractice (due to COVID-19). Almost immediately, classes continued online - they have been excellent and during this crazy time its been something stable in my daughter's life. Thank you SFDS for providing a caring, challenging and fun space for the dancers!

Virginie, Lena and all the staff at Petit Pas are incredibly gifted artists who are so passionate at creating the most fantastic environment for children to explore and thrive in all facets of acrobatics, dance, art, creativity and other forms of self-expression. The staff is also super dedicated to the wellbeing of their campers and keep their safety top of mind at all times. I fully recommend Petit Pas if you are looking for your children to emotionally grow and have wonderful experiences! I can't wait to enroll both my children in next year's sessions. Thank you, Petit Pas for not only providing peace of mind to parents but also for making such a positive impact to the lives of so many children. Bravo!

So far we've learned the basics of Swing, Bachata, and Night Club 2 Step. David Blood, the instructor is patient and excellent, and his volunteer helpers are fantastic (thanks!). We looked him up on ratemyprofessor and he gets the fire logo which means he's a "hot" professor :-). Congats, David, on being so smooth! The class size started out pretty full, but if you stick it out for a few weeks, it gets down to about 20 people. It is pretty even between men and women, and you dance with everyone. The only pain point is the slightly annoying process of having to fill out a college application to get in. But the price and instruction are awesome, so it is well worth it! Highly recommend.

Each student has a portable square platform to dance on. There were ~ 13 students so it's not crowded at all. I was able to see and hear her so clearly. She is experienced (to explain body mechanics in addition to technique), patient, and funny. I have a lot of fun. There won't be a class on 8/30/14 because of Labor Day. Last day to add full-term credit classes in-person & on WEB4 is 9/5/14. Next class is 9/6/14. We need more students in the class to keep the class. $46/1 unit class a semester is more affordable than studio at $15-$20/class. Students can take this for pass/not pass instead of a grade. Also, Kathe has a bag of pretty clean looking tap shoes from people who gave her, left unclaimed for students to use. She is as accomodating as a nice teacher can be.

Remodel FOR THE WIN! I almost don't want to leave this review because people should experience the…read moresame awe and wonder I got to yesterday at the reopening, but this place deserves all the stars. I have been a member here for 8+ years. I check in between 4-5x / week. Not only is the place IMMACULATE from literally the freshly painted ceiling to the new floors but they now offer elite equipment and body building machines from brands like Skelecore and Nautilus. They also still have a good amount of the previous hoist machines. Even with all the new equipment the place somehow feels bigger. The spacing is very well done and the flow from entry to the floor is well organized. In addition to the absolutely beautiful cleaning and maintenance, ALL machines are now in working order. There are new hip thrust machines, really nice new machines for back and chest, and the stand out is the epic leg day palace. What was once the basketball court has been converted into a literally haven of RACKS! If you have ever hit this gym during rush hour on a Tuesday you know getting a rack was sometimes a 30-45 minute wait. No more my friends! Racks on racks on racks. They also got a couple new leg presses and tons of new accessory machines. This gym has everything I personally need to hit all body parts and cardio for my split. The weights are varied. There are squat racks and platforms for training Olympic lifts as well as racks with safety cages. There are dumbbells up to 125lbs, cables, treadmills, stair masters, ellipticals and bikes. The group X room is open except during classes. I've tried a few classes here my favorite is Zumba with Maritza. I usually just check the App for the schedule. The pool area is basic and pretty much still the same except a lot cleaner now. There's a sauna and a steam room and a two lane pool. The bathrooms are as clean as you would expect a busy gym bathroom to be. And ten times cleaner than before. A lot of the staff have been here for years and years which speaks volumes. Everyone I have spoken to is friendly and helpful. Shout out to Salde and Sandra who are the best. The manager Francisco has been here since I can remember, is always kind and is very friendly. A couple years ago a better deal than I had been paying for came up and Francisco suggested I let my current membership expire or however it works and I got the yearly for a better price. He is always looking out for members and does his best to hold the ones who don't pick up after themselves accountable. Now that this place is spotless, it will mean that people who workout here MUST take care of the space better! I totally think it's possible but I'm also prepared to be that girl asking you to put your weights back pls. PARKING is easy if you don't go during peak rush hours. Overall the remodel took this gym from a 2/10 to a 10/10 but don't let me convince you until you see for yourself.

Jay in maintence is the hardest working person I have ever met, so kind and helpful. He hustles to keep the broken and malfunctioning equipment and wet area working and is much appreciate by us members. Lana has been extremely helpful as well. The renovations were extremely lackluster. Members were misled or outright lied to about what changes would be made to the gym and wet area. Construction, including jackhammering is still going on, we were told the project would take less than a month. I have videos of the noise reverberating through the wet area and breaking decibel levels for construction codes for San Francisco. The wet area is neglected to a dangerous and unhealthy level still. They claimed they "deep cleaned" it. The disabled lift for the pool and jacuzzi have bed been busted and malfunctioning or completely useless since I started there almost a year ago. They were to be replaced and were not! I have gotten stuck in the pool several times while it glitched. Once recently it broke completely. Thankfully my husband was there, and went and asked for Jay who managed to get it functioning and get me out. I wrote corporate, no answer. The entire building is not up to ADA gym codes and standards. There are loose railing, slippery dirty stairs and railings, mold growing from the spitters who can't follow basic hygiene rules even with a sign right where they usually spit under the lift chair. Then they fling water everywhere after spitting or snorting, and my wheelchair will not drive through the puddles. It is incredible dangerous. The locker room has no disabled lockers, and the one shower stall is not up to code for wheelchair users. None of the doors are up to code and have damaged my wheelchair several times. They refused to fix the broken women's locker room disabled stall's loose then broken toilet seat from September 2025 when I was first injured on it until May 2026 during the renovations. I was moderately injured the 5th time it slipped and one side fell into the toilet and I slipped off into the wall. There are uncovered screws sticking out of the wall connected to the stall next to it that have also cut me twice, and damaged my backpack. Do better, please! Communication there is dismal. No warning or planned closures, changes to schedules, etc. Yesterday the swim school was there when they are not on the schedule. Photos attached. In the summer we can barely use the pool. They have also showed up unannounced when the Potrero locations pool was closed, and allowed to hold classes without authorization displacing members. The worst part is upset members who try to swim in the lanes for the school or refuse to get out of the pool during swim class time, and they often scare the children or harass the swim school employees who are just doing their jobs! This happened yesterday, a man with flippers soaked a young child and the instructor by coming in their lane and splashing them intentionally. That area is chaos incarnate with no semblance of gym or pool etiquette.
