Last Saturday, I brought my 3 year old son into the women's locker room to use the bathroom…read more There's a vanity area where women get ready, however there was an older man just sitting there, watching the women get ready, completely naked. I went over to the front desk and told them there was a naked man in the women's locker room just sitting there, watching everyone and he responded that they are legally not allowed to remove him. Please educate me because this doesn't seem right. I told them I usually let my 11 year old daughter go to the bathroom herself and I don't feel like it's safe and yet, YMCA did nothing. I was at the YMCA because my daughter had a game. After her game, I checked the women's locker room (about an hour after I took my son to the bathroom) and the naked man was still there, sitting there and putting lotion on his body. This is not okay. Please be careful everyone, especially those with children.

After months of contemplating if personal training was worth the investment, my partner and I…read morestarted 2x week joint training sessions with Jason and have honestly never looked back. Jason structured our trainings around our personal fitness goals and is an excellent (and patient) teacher -- within just a few sessions, I was confident with workouts I never thought I could be capable of. Instead of a tiny confined area in the middle of a loud chaotic gym at a big box chain, I got to end my workdays at a private training studio seeing the same familiar faces each week. Jason is flexible with scheduling and is overall a great person to spend 2 hours/week with. (Shoutout to him making it a point to watch Physical 100 just so we could talk about new episodes during our sessions!) For anyone looking to get into training & prioritize your wellness, Jason is your guy!

That's when I came across the Sunset Gym this past December. I started my membership with a week long pass and eventually converted it to a monthly membership. (The payment for the week pass went into my first month of membership) Pricing wise this place is a very reasonable compared to the bigger chains (i.e Fitness SF), but admittedly you are also restricted to one location. For me though, that's not a problem as I wanted a neighborhood gym more than anything. The gym itself is great - it's old school (think OG Gold's Gym style). Downstairs has plenty of free weights and a good selection of machines. Upstairs has a dedicated Cardio area, a spot for stretching, as well as additional free-weights and an outdoor area. Staff I've interacted with so far have been wonderful. Very glad to have found a great gym close by to where I live

There is nothing like a local neighborhood gym, where everybody knows your name (just kidding, but…read moreyou all start to recognize each other if you are a morning, midday or evening gym-goer for sure), with friendly staff and equipment that may not be the latest and greatest, but it's familiar, it works, people take care of the machines and weights and wipe them down with the many spray bottles and paper towel stations, and there seems to be one of everything you could ever want. Definitely a transit-first or walk-from-your-home-type gym, 9th and Irving is not known for its parking (though it IS known for it's ever-present MTA carts zipping around). Love the towels, the multiple bathrooms and showers, the fans everywhere, and the small outdoor area on the second floor.

It's a very small compact gym but it has all the essentials to get good workout. I start my workouts with either the treadmill or elliptical machines before doing strength training. They have all the necessary weights I need for a well balanced workout. They also have TRX setup as well. I love that this place is clean and very well maintained. The owner Dean was very nice demonstrating the machines when I enrolled. I was even able to get the WiFi details so I can stream my shows while I am warming up. As long as I have my key fob I can enter the gym. I've worked out as late as 11pm. I give this place an excellent rating. 5 stars!

The facility is very clean and so far I have only seen a few machines out of order, which is expected at any commercial facility. With everything being new and lubed up, it's easy to get a good full body workout. The gym goers here are chill from my experience and it's easy to work in if there's a wait. I wish Pf had some heavier mini barbells since they don't offer any barbells whatsoever but I guess that's part of their model. The front desk staff are super friendly but not intrusively so which I appreciate. I also notice them making serious efforts here to keep the place clean and dust free which I really appreciate. Every time I look up someone is cleaning, emptying trash bins and refilling paper towels. I will probably get my own membership at some point so I can use the tanning beds because guests aren't allowed but for now I'll stay pale and freeload. I REALLY wish they had barbells, but everything else is great.

The place is pretty small but so far the staff are nice and helpful. Nothing bad to say about this gym. I think they could use heavier free weights though.

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.

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.
