If I was rating based on my personal preferences, I would give 2 stars but I know everyone has…read moredifferent needs from a gym so my unbiased opinion is 3-3.5 stars. 1) the workout- if you know what you are doing this would be a great workout! I didn't know what I was doing, and other than a few GIFs that are playing on the TV screens there is no good guidance on how to properly do the moves. 2) the instructors- didn't really do much and heavily refer to the TV screens for demo. I didn't receive much form correction or opportunities to modify moves that don't work for me, even in the smaller classes. 3) facilities- no frills but they have a large variety of equipment. 4) cleanliness- I hated having to share equipment with literally everyone in the class, with just a dirty rag to wipe off equipment in between. I didn't see anyone clean equipment between classes either. Overall, I prefer an organized and strictly regimented workout with heavy emphasis on form so this was not for me, but for people who love the variety of equipment and freedom to workout without much guidance this would be a great option.

Unfortunately this location made me lose out on my 2.5 year f45 streak. The environment was just…read morenot it for me. I have gone to a lot of f45s but what has made f45 super fun has been the community and it didn't feel that way for me at this location. Coaches are nice and helpful, but it felt disorganized at times. After 6 months of barely going, I stopped going altogether. I've since moved to another f45 and having finally regained my passion at this new location made be realize the RWC F45 has a lot of stepping up to do

I was a member of a now 7 Crossfit gyms because I had to move around a lot, so I've experienced a…read morevariety of coaching styles, communities, and facilities, and Crossfit San Carlos honestly tops all of them in every area. I've done CrossFit for 10+ years, and these coaches still find ways to correct and challenge me, which I greatly appreciate. I love their facility; this is the only gym that has an indoor sauna, ice bath room, offers towel service, supplies lifting belts, and has plenty of space for good-sized classes and even for those extra people working on mobility or anything else at the same time. What's unique about Crossfit San Carlos' facility is their green turf that allows us to do indoor sled pulls & pushes, handstand walking work, shuttle runs, etc. I truly appreciate that warm-ups are varied and not the same every day. The workouts are challenging and have given me results through sustainable progress. Since joining in Oct. 2024, I'm down 2 sizes from XL to Medium! For someone who works from home needing some good 'ole fun and giggles, the people and community are friendly and welcoming.

I've been training here, a large portion of my life, and I couldn't be happier. The coaches are…read moreabsolutely amazing, They are super knowledgeable, and have become great friends of mine over the years. Some of my closest friends have been made at this gym and will be a part of my life forever. The facility is amazing. It's so hard to find a gym that has what this gym offers: large open space, equipment, showers, etc. there are classes for everyone. If you want to get in shape and have fun, this is the place for you. You will love it!

Out of every gym I've ever been to, this has honestly been my favorite gym in the world. The…read moreequipment is top-tier and always maintained so well, the atmosphere is amazing, and it somehow never feels overcrowded even during busy hours. The men's locker room and showers are always spotless, which says a lot about how much care the owner/staff put into the gym. Even the music and overall vibe are perfect, it's one of the only gyms where I don't even feel the need to wear earbuds because the environment itself motivates me to train harder. You can really tell this gym was built with passion and pride, and that's rare nowadays. It became part of my routine and honestly one of my favorite places to decompress after long work days. I've recommended it to friends and always spoke highly of it because it truly stands out from the typical commercial gyms.

Closed? Went by the…read moreaddress in Yelp and on their website. It is ghost-town empty. There was sign with a barcode on the door pointing to a new location saying "opens August 1." New location windows completely covered with brown paper and a sign out front saying "this location is permanently closed." There was a door slightly ajar and what looked like people and possibly equipment inside, though I did not get a good look. I pulled the door partially open to go inside and had to let go because of a phone call. It looked like some people saw me. Took a few minutes to end the call, and during that time, I heard someone come up from the inside and close and lock the door. I called their phone number and no answer. Closed business? Moving? Just unfriendly? No idea, but it seems not to be a place to go. Save yourself some time and go elsewhere.

Since starting my lifting journey in 2019 I must say this is by far my favorite gym. It was exactly…read morewhat I was looking for in terms of being super lowkey but also having such a welcoming group of gym goers. Rich the owner is so kind and tentative and should be proud of the space he's cultivated. Vincent is also super kind and was great in welcoming me to this new gym getting over my first timer nerves very quickly. If you are looking for a space where you can go in and out quickly this is a spot for you. I've never had to wait for a machine. They have all of the essentials for lifting cardio machines and sometimes there's a cute puppy or two. Lots of well seasoned lifters here as well as newbies. Great vibe and place!

They're also very friendly and welcoming to newcomers. I do wish there were more times as the schedule is a bit limited. However, there are some cool equipment that you typically don't see a regular gyms. I think there's a lot of promotions, so I would recommend signing up when they have a deal. They might also offer free trials for newbies before you commit too!

Recently tried a 2-week free trial here (which is quite generous of them) and it's basically 3 to 4…read morerounds of circuit training. You typically run through 4 different exercises in 1 circuit and repeat it 3x before moving on to the next 4. Sometimes they mix up the pattern every now and then, so it might not always be a 3x4 pattern. You're on for 40 seconds, and rest for 12-15 seconds, so it's pretty manageable and time goes by FAST. All the coaches are very friendly and engaging. It seems like most members have been going for quite some time now, so they have a pretty solid community. People are generally all very supportive of one another. It's also a family-run business. The only cons are that the schedule is a bit limited, especially on Fridays-Sundays. Also pricing is kind of hidden and you have to reach out to them in order to find out more info.

I can't say enough good things about this gym. I've been going for about a year now (and went for…read morea bit before COVID) and it is has become a habit. The workouts are challenging and always changing and you don't get bored. I get bored really easily so that's saying something. However the most impressive part of this gym is Ami and the coaches. It sets this F45 from the other F45's I've been to (from London to Chicago to NYC to SoCal). There is a sense of community and everyone is rooting for each other and the coaches drive that. On top of that the coaches know how to motivate you regardless of your fitness level so you should not hesitate to give it a try. Even when I think I have nothing left they can get more out of me and I love the push! I've worked out all my life in some way, shape or form but the intensity and levity combo at this gym make it hard to go do anything else. I'm not a gym person in general but I really enjoy getting my workout in here. Again, it is the coaches and Ami who really make this a place that is worth continuing to go to.

I strongly recommend Phong to anyone willing to put in the work.

When they opened the San Mateo location, we were super stoked! Pros of this location: - Free parking! - Overflow room for busy weekends My SO and I have different opinions on if the room shape at SM is more beneficial than the BG location. Nevertheless, the coaches and employees are all so sweet and helpful. The space is new and modern. All types of people are welcome here!

I'm not the most fit person. I actually struggle with working out. I injured my knee in November,…read moreand honestly, I just used that as an excuse not to work out. Truthfully, I was scared and babying my knee, and I started to gain weight. I joined ClassPass to try out different studios and gyms. I had actually tried Basecamp back when it first opened in Burlingame, and it terrified me--but I decided to give it a second chance, and I'm so glad I did. I took my first few classes through ClassPass and eventually decided that when my membership ended, I was going to sign up and become a member. Wendy was amazing at explaining everything thoroughly, and everyone there is so welcoming. They even knew my name before I knew theirs--it kind of felt like Cheers: "Where everybody knows your name" (lol). Every single coach I've interacted with or taken a class has been nothing short of amazing. Jerileen, Lacey, Alicia, and Angeline: they'll never know how much they've motivated me and how much of an impact they've had on my health, fitness, and recovery. I'm so glad I joined--and you should too. I've also taken a class at the Burlingame location, which I loved as well. They were just as nice. It just happens that the San Mateo location is on my way home or to work, and I really like the vibe and how welcoming it I am down 10 pounds since I've joined my biggest advice don't feel overwhelmed become friends with your neighbor or your partner and they can guide you. Everybody's pretty nice.
