Started doing personal training with Natalie S. After one session I feel like a whole new person. She listened to my concerns and my goals and tailored a regimen to my specific needs. Love the Chill Zone - just wish it was included in the membership instead of $20 a session (you do get one free session per month which is nice). The infrared sauna is a great warm down! Grateful for this community and excited to try out more classes. Just wish there were more offerings, the classes I like are only offered once a week.

I chose this gym for the convenient location and easy parking. I'd never done a full walkthrough,…read moreso I popped in one afternoon and was genuinely impressed by the old-school vibe. It felt like a perfect match for someone who appreciates real gym culture over shiny boutique studios. But the longer I trained there, the more the cracks started showing--and they add up fast. The equipment is a mixed bag. The free weights feel satisfyingly heavy (old-world heavy, great for pumps), and I really loved the turf area--it's loaded with punching bags, sleds, aerial bands, kettlebells, Bosu balls, a vibration plate, and more. It's genuinely impressive... when it's not a zoo. People constantly cut across paths or leave equipment scattered everywhere. Lanes or some basic traffic management would make a huge difference. The machines, mostly older Techno Gym and Hoist units, are where things fall apart. Many have off motions, some are missing weight scales entirely so you can't even tell what you're lifting, and the abductor/adductor machine has a weirdly tilted seat that forces awkward positioning and incomplete reps. The locker room was a constant frustration. Way too small for the traffic, with tiny lockers that barely fit a gym bag--forget squeezing in shoes, a phone, or a hat. It's also uncomfortably hot with terrible ventilation, and the black toilets plus lack of any real vanity area made post-workout routines feel like a hassle. Same story with the abysmal shower water pressure. Nothing about the space felt luxurious despite the "low membership, high quality" marketing. The infrared sauna gets plenty hot but is clearly showing its age (the teak creaks like it's begging for maintenance). The cycle studio is actually awesome--super dark and built for intense rides--and the yoga studio with skylights and soft wood floors is cozy. The stretching room has a stretching cage and free percussion guns, but with only one cage and limited space, it quickly turns into a crowded mess. Two reformers are a nice touch, though. The recovery area has real potential: hot bath, cold plunge, red light panel, and Norma-Tec boots. But everything is pay-to-play after the first use (one free recovery session per month, $35 extra after that; InBody scans are $15 each). At my previous luxury club, these were included with your membership. They send a cute monthly newsletter highlighting employee of the month and new equipment, which is a nice touch, but it doesn't hide the feeling that the club is running on limited operating capital. Everything feels a little gimmicky and nickel-and-dimed. I really wanted to love this place for its old-school soul and solid turf setup, but at $199 per month, the headaches and lack of luxury simply aren't worth it. I'll miss the turf training the most, but I won't be renewing. Best avoided unless you're okay with paying premium prices for a dated experience.

This review is long overdue, but so well deserved. EWB was an amazing experience. Over the year or…read moreso that I was there, I saw amazing improvements to my physique, posture, strength, and overall health. It was the best shape I'd been in since high school. For starters, the gym itself is small but well-equipped. It doesn't have the bloated feeling of big gyms, yet you can get the same quality of exercise in it that you might there. But what really makes EWB are the trainers. My earlier experience there was with a friend and trainer of mine named Diana, who was super cool and knowledgeable and really helps you enjoy working out. When I went there a couple of years later, I connected with a guy named Jonathan. Super knowledgeable both as a trainer and in anatomy and physiology. He was able to keep my technique safe and appropriate and give explanations for why we did things at all times. I was enjoying my experience so much that I started going up to 4 or 5x a week. That's when I had the pleasure of working with Sara and Jenn. Sara was able to keep working out simple and effective, and she always offered great nutritional advice to make sure that I got the biggest return on my investments. Jenn, meanwhile, gave me much needed help with mobility and provided bodywork to ensure that my body was a well-oiled machine while it endured weekly rigor from both training and work (which was also physical for me). When someone didn't have time to see me, the owner, Nicole, would work with me. She challenges you in a way that makes you feel capable, and I owed a lot of growth in confidence to her during my time there. I would highly recommend this establishment and its personnel to anyone serious about making healthy improvements in their life. I still recommend them to friends and colleagues of mine regularly.

They offer alternatives for any of the movements that are problematic or difficult. The workouts are as challenging as you want to make them. I like the warmups and the cooldowns. Clean bathrooms and just enough space where you don't feel crowded. They used to give cold towels after the workout and I'm sorry to see those have been eliminated. Please bring that nice touch back!! Shout out to trainers Macy, Miguel, Megan and Carly. You guys are great and make this place great!

I've been to many HIIT type gyms but not all satisfies me. Looking for a gym is like real estate…read moreshopping. Both have in common are price, location, amenities. For a gym, I also look for scehdule, cleaniless, routine and the people. Happy to say, I've been at F45 for 8 weeks now and became a member as they hit all of my must haves. It stands for Functional 45 where each class is only 45 minutes. It's almost robotic in a sense that everything is timed. From the demonstration to two minute warm up to the 45 minute work out. The timer is on each tv and each exercise in that station is displayed on specific tv's. There's also a heart monitor for purchase that tracks your activity. Must haves: 1) Schedule & Location: Rarely will you find a gym with 5am being the first class. Most gyms begin at 6am. 5am is perfect and the location is an added convenience for me to head straight to work. Safety is important because most circuit style gyms are in a random alley in a warehouse and their warm ups require a lap around the block. I would get paranoid being a female in the dark and I'm usually last. At F45, your warm ups are indoors. The gym has glass windows from floor to ceiling. It's brightly lit and shares a lot with the complex to only park in spaces marked "Retail Only". There isn't a lot so you'll need to park on the street or across the street in the Vons plaza. 2) Amenities & Cleanliness: There are two showers and it's first come, first serve by putting your name on the white board. No need to bring your own towels as they provide towels and at the end of each class, you'll get the nice cold aromatherapy scent towel as you cool down. I notice everything when it comes to cleanliness. For example, it's gross to see hair strand floating on the floor when you're breathing heavily in a plank or push-up position. Some gyms will require you to wipe down your equipment after each class which can be time consuming and waste in materials. I haven't seen it but I'm sure F45 has their own cleaning schedule because I have yet to witness anything floating on the floors or sticky equipment or yucky showers. So far the facility is clean. 3) Routine: I get bored easily which is why I tend to gym hop. Most gym dedicate a day to a certain body part which means, you'll get an imbalance of gender when women tends to come on leg days and men on upper days. Not at F45. All the workouts has been full body incorporated and you never know what you're in for. There are unique names for the daily workout like Mkatz, Abacus, Red Diamond, that has a description if it's cardio or weights. However, you won't know about the set up and transition which is one of the reasons why I keep coming back. I also love that all the equipment at each station are fully set up prior to each class so that it doesn't take up your time to set up. 4) The people: This includes the owner, coaches, and members. Everyone is legit super nice. You can tell when a gym gives off that selling and arrogant vibe but not here. They make you feel comfortable and super chilled. The coaches are always hands on to correct your form, or quick to lend a hand when they see you struggling, or assist in putting on the feet straps for the pull up bars. They even push you to your max potential but only because they know you're capable. I wouldn't sign up if I didn't like the people. 5) Price: You get what you pay for. I would say their price is comparable to all the other gyms out there. Each gym is independently own so there's always specials and Groupon deals. I would highly recommend a trial class to see for yourself!

I've also made some good friends and while it's a solo activity for the most part, you definitely do team workouts that make it more challenging and help you push and support each other.

There are four big pine trees with separate retaining walls around three of them for owners to sit down. With it being so close to the bay, there's often a nice breeze that goes through the park. There's no divide between small dogs and big dogs, so it's best to just keep an eye on your dog, and many owners around here are usually respectful. The street parking immediately adjacent to the park is free, however, it has a limit of 30 minutes, and the parking meter workers are strict on it if they're around. I bring my dog here around lunch time because those who live/ work in the area tend to bring their dogs during their break time and my dog gets his socialization time. They close 8am-11am MWF for maintenance/ cleaning. Currently, both gates are broken so it's not as secure as it should be, and who knows when the city will actually fix it. There're a few agility structures and a water dispenser. The children's park itself looks pretty cool for kids with a lot of structures with slides and swings. There's also another separate area with fixed exercise equipment that looks well- maintained. The water feature in the park is a water feature, not a pool.

However, by the end of the workout, my heart rate hadn't really gone up, and the exercises didn't feel particularly strenuous. The atmosphere could use some improvement as well. The music was at a very low volume, maybe a three, and consisted of an old-school playlist featuring artists like Katy Perry--not exactly the kind of vibe to keep you motivated. Adding some more vibrant decor or painting could also make the space feel more energizing. Overall, I think this class is a great fit for a specific group of individuals.

I see that there are pictures of a pilates area, which I'm curious about. When I visited I didn't see that room, and it leaves me wondering where that might be. I just checked classpass and don't see those classes listed, but I would be open to trying something other than bootcamp here in the future.

Chris and Carrie were awesome instructors offering plenty of attention and gentle correction to…read moreyour form. S6 Fitness is a different kind of gym with the main focus being on the activation and strengthening of your core. They offer an interesting array of classes from bootcamp-styled classes, to mat pilates, reformer pilates, and Muay Thai. No heavy weight lifting here, but I was still very sore after each class. We always forget that the core is the foundation to strength building and seem to neglect it often. I took advantage of the bootcamp and Muay Thai classes here. Bootcamp classes were always very unique and class sizes were small and therefore more one-on-one instruction was provided. The Muay Thai classes were also small. I think the largest class I went to was with three other women. Chris was great about providing corrections and ensuring you learned technique in the proper way. I felt that the majority of the studio goers were women, so it's a great non-judgemental atmosphere especially if you're intimidated by those martial arts gyms that are male dominated. Sad that they will be moving, but I do hope Chris continues his Muay Thai program since I wasn't able to take advantage of it as much as I had originally intended.

My body composition has transformed in a way I didn't think was possible, and I've hit goals I never imagined, like achieving my first pull-up, which as a woman felt huge!! Kevin is not only incredibly knowledgeable and fun, but he's also so invested in his clients. He knows exactly how to push you while still being supportive, and he's been such a consistent resource for anything I've needed along the way. I truly couldn't recommend a better personal trainer. If you're serious about seeing real results, Kevin is the one. This is the best gym ever!!!!

After a difficult postpartum recovery, I struggled to find a sustainable way to lose weight and regain my strength. Since starting training with Xavier I'm finally seeing real progress and feel stronger and more confident in my body again, which has truly been life-changing for me as a first time mom. Xavier's skilled training approach really sets him apart. He takes the time to understand where you're starting from and builds a personalized plan that perfectly balances between meeting you where you're at while challenging you to improve. His workouts are thoughtful, well structured, and focused on building sustainable strength in a way that fits your lifestyle. He truly cares about helping his clients progress safely and consistently. The LIV FIT gym facility is a great space --accessible, clean, and well-equipped, making it an excellent place to train. The community is welcoming, supportive, and uplifting. I'm so glad we found Xavier at LIV FIT and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great trainer and supportive training community.

Let me start by saying that this is not your typical gym, and these aren't your typical trainers…read more If you're looking for someone to stand next to you and count the number of times you pick up and put down heavy things, or periodically adjust the speed or angle of a treadmill, then find yourself a big box gym and save yourself a few bucks. If, however, you're looking for a holistic workout based on years of neuroscience research, and optimizing the way your brain talks to your body, then this is the place for you. This workout is as much about the "why" of exercise as it is about the "what." It's hard to describe the training sessions in practical terms, as the methods are so novel that saying "we do this and then this" just wouldn't do it justice. With that being said, I'll tell you why I like it: * Dave, our trainer, knows his stuff. He's spent years studying nutrition, neuroscience, kinesiology, kinaesthetics and lots of other big-word-ologies. He takes this knowledge and wisdom and tailors sessions not only suited to your long term goals, but also to your physical/mental condition at the moment. He meets you where you are, and works to elevate you from there. * It's fun. Dave incorporates play and mental stimulation into a lot of the exercises. Rather than working the vestibular system through movements around a visual stimulus, he may change the stimulus to a set of letters, such that you have to come up with a word that starts with each letter as you move through the exercise. It's a lot harder than you'd think, but so much more engaging. You forget that you're exercising! * Dave loves what he does. He's passionate about his methods and an expert in his field. He loves to share that knowledge, too. * Dave's a funny guy. He has a great sense of humor!

I come to S10 for a unique approach to wellness, training my nervous system, strength training, improving my vision, balance/inner ear (turns) as a singing actor that must move well onstage, and alignment as well as the warm atmosphere of athletes moving in many different ways and the collaboration between disciplines. I've been truly blessed to work with Dave (trainer) and Dr. Davis on everything from gut health and decreased inflammation to rehabbing my right eye for better belting, choreography and visual acuity playing piano and in life. Looking forward to trying acupuncture, red light room and watching Dave do neuro exercises with his little one as I prepare for pregnancy and rehabilitation with people I trust!
