Love F45! Excellent place to get fit and strong. Forget this getting weaker as you age. Heck no! If…read moreyou want to maintain and build muscle - go here. One thing I've noticed is if I'm not being pushed I don't work out as hard. But at F45 Moraga, the coaches will catch your eye and tap on the heavier weight and give you some encouragement to do better. So you do and you end up surprising yourself. Another thing they do is add exercises at the end of the sessions: 10 burpees followed by two laps running around the building or core work or stretching. It's a reasonable cost for a solid workout. Great value!

The bad: The classes are large, the music loud, and the routines are posted on screens which are…read moredifficult to see without my glasses on. The good: the coaches are really effective in their ability to roam around the room and help those of us who need further instruction or with their form.

During that time, one of us may be in recovery mode from surgery. He manages to keep us all pushing our boundaries while being very informed on how not to re-injure ourselves. He makes it fun, it is different every week and he is very informed when we ask why we are doing a certain exercise. I personally think he is amazing and I'm very grateful he keeps me positive. If you are younger have no fear he will push you to get stronger and stronger...it's a talent to work with a wide range of abilities and do it well..that's Danny..... Ramona

My experience at Orinda's Anytime Fitness continues to be outstanding in every possible way!…read more Renee has assembled a wonderful team who always greet me and make me feel like a valued gym member! I recently participated in Joti's "group boxing class" which exceeded my expectations. Even though I was the only woman in the class, I loved getting helpful tips from Joti as well from the male participants (in particular, Tom, Nick & Jonnie)! Joti made me feel right at ease! Like many of his Af counterparts, Joti is the "full package." He has flawless people skills, he is very knowledgeable about boxing, and he has a way of making the class a very positive learning experience -both for those who have prior boxing experience, and those (like me) with no prior boxing experience. I so enjoyed Joti's boxing class and I look forward to enrolling again very soon! In my opinion, what makes Renee's team so outstanding is the understanding that what separates the top performers (like AF) from the competition is a strong "relationship orientation" versus a "transactional approach!". Renee's wonderful team exemplifies this "relationship" orientation each & every day: Katee, traing mgr and Siobhan are very knowledgeable and are always upbeat & available for questions. Joti, Jonnie (sp?) and Antoine (all fairly new) also have flawless people skills, are equally knowledgeable and greet me every day; Jonnie and I have had multiple conversations about a healthy lifestyle as to diet & exercise, and Jonnie recently introduced me to Arnold Schwarzenegger's online newsletter which addresses the importance of a healthy lifestyle (many thx Jonnie!!). Last but not least, Stephen is also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to engage; Like his brother, Gershon, Gersavick (sp?) is extremely personable, he greets me every day AND he plays the best Michael Jackson tunes to work out to! The gym is always pristine- from the bathrooms, to the main gym floor and studio. The gym equipment is also well-maintained. Renee, thank you for assembling an outstanding team and for all that you do!!! Many thanks, Elizabeth

I've had personal trainers before, but I've never felt like they actually cared about my progress--until now. Shout out to Coach Jonny! Everyone here is great, and it's a diverse group of clientele--you see everything from people who look like they're training for the Olympics all the way to people like me--people making up for lost time neglecting their fitness and trying to get back on track. The managers, the front desk staff, and the trainers are all really nice people. It makes a difference to anyone who needs motivation to get in better shape. Working out is now my "me" time rather than my "I have to do this" time.

Holy moly, what an amazing facility and workout! FitLab has been around for several months, but…read moreI've only heard about it recently through ClassPass. With zero ratings / new on ClassPass, I decided to sign up to try it out anyways, and it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. Coincidently enough, one of my former fave OTF coach worked out here, so more of a reason to try FitLab! I signed up for their Hybrid Engine class (HYDOX / DEKA training, etc.) for Monday 6AM, but I wanted to see the facility before a full on class so I wouldn't feel as lost, so I then signed up for "open gym" the day prior. Got there a few mins before it started, and I met Coach/Trainer Larry. He was superb! Larry gave us a nice tour around the facility and described the various machines and stations. He also showed us the amenities- bar, sauna, cold plunge. Amazing! He gave us a nice workout that day as well, focusing on DEKA and we utilized a lot of the stuff- rowing machine, air bike, dumbbells, ski erg, weighted balls, ski pulls/pushes, and more. We also did some body weighted exercises and stretches, as well as some outdoor run up and down the hill. After the workout, he showed us some other stations, more focused on Spartan races. Wow, so strong and inspirational! I had an amazing intro, and was looking forward to the actual class the next morning. Next morning quickly approached, and I was ready for the workout! It was the Hybrid Engine workout, and we did a warmup, then we were divided into groups and were told which stations to rotate around. Nice HIIT style workout focusing on items re HYROX and DEKA. We did some of the machines, some farmer carries, RAM burpees, med ball throws, sandbags, and more. Great intro to a lot of the exercises, and I really enjoyed it. Ended the workout with some dynamic stretching, and I tried the sauna and cold plunge for the first time in my life. Full facilities- locker room, showers, toilets, etc. Shared, which is fine by me. Looking forward to signing up for more classes!

Among them, Carah Hering stands out as my all-time favorite fitness instructor. She imparts her expertise in Line Dancing, ZUMBA, Aqua-ZUMBA, and Cardio Dance, fostering a sense of community that transcends the club.

These events provide an unparalleled opportunity for camaraderie and shared experiences. Recently, I underwent hip replacement surgery, and Carah's classes served as my greatest motivation to heal and resume dancing with my Oakwood Dance Sisters.
