I'm so glad I took the leap and decided to join Moxie! I was previously a member when it was D's Fitness, and after being away from the gym for quite a while, I wasn't sure what to expect. What I love most is that Moxie is a women-only gym. Even when it's busy, it never feels overcrowded or overwhelming. The gym has lots of updated machines and equipment, and it's always clean and well-maintained. The staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. A special shoutout to Cassandra! She seems to know everyone by name, which really speaks to how dedicated and personable she is. She always takes the time to greet members and genuinely helps create a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you, Moxie, for making it such a positive place to get a work out in. I'm so happy to be back! read more

It's an ok gym, pretty clean for the most part with a variety of equipment but weights are not well organized and the equipment there is visibly outdated. It would be great to see some newer equipment and additions like a Smith machine or hip thrust machine. My sister and I had an uncomfortable experience when we visited together. A trainer asked us to swipe in separately, assuming we were trying to share a membership. The way we were approached didn't feel very welcoming or respectful. It's also frustrating to see the owners opening a new Pilates studio while this location still needs updates. And honestly, for a women's-only gym, it's surprising there's no childcare option. I think that would make a big difference for many members. I prepaid for an annual membership and honestly unsure if I will renew when the time comes. read more

Updating my review after being here a year. I would still like to see some AC in here but its by far worth getting a membership for the 24 hour access alone. read more

Moxie - Appreciate this small but VERY cool addition to the amenities at the gym. Its often the small additions that make so much of a difference! - Trainers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I love working out at MOXIE :) it is super clean, safe, and uplifting to be there. I love the studio floor, it is so nice and new and bright, love that they have mats for use so I don't have to bring one! Love that there's a water refill station. I love that they have so much equipment without it being intimidating. The layout is so streamlined and the whole space feels so welcoming and fun. Love all of the renovations and so excited to keep working out here. Thanks Moxie!! read more

Moxie - Studio floor! - Trainers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

I've been going to D's since 2016 and feel like it's home. My favorite classes are Ivania's Tues morning strength class and Jess' Thursday evening zumba class. They're incredible instructors and make all who come feel welcome. The gym has everything you need: free weights, machines, mats etc. I can't wait to see it once renovations are complete! The new owner has taken time to consider what an ideal women's gym should have. Once, it's all finished it will look and be THE place to workout in Castro Valley. Don't hesitate to check D's out! read more

The most amazing gym ever! The staff is amazing and the facility is incredible! If you are needing a gym 10000% go to Moxie.

*DETAILED COVID OPERATIONS INFO BELOW* I have been a member of this gym for several years and have been meaning to write a review but never seemed to get around to it. I love this gym. The space is clean and bright, it's well equipped, and both ownership and the community are lovely. During the shutdown for Covid 19 I missed working out immensely but was apprehensive to go back to the gym for safety reasons upon re opening. I have now been back for one week and I have detailed information to share. The gym is spotless. Upon entry all guests must sanitize their hands and are provided a spray bottle of disinfectant and a clean towel to wipe off all equipment after individual use. I have only worked out during "appointment times," and I can say that there has never been more than 4 or 5 people - including myself - in the entire gym at the same time. Everyone is wearing a mask and the space has good air flow due to all of the ceiling fans. In short I will say that I feel safer there than I do when I go into the grocery store or out to run any other errand that needs to be done weekly. It is clear to me that Tammy, the owner, is not only following Alameda County guidelines to a tee, but cares deeply about the health and safety of the community and I appreciate that, hence this very much warranted 5 star review. read more

Moxie - Every other machine off limits to encourage social distancing! - Trainers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Moxie - Trainers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Updating my review! I have been at D's for almost a year now and I still love it! I love it even more than before! It's my happy place. The women are all such sweethearts and the staff are always smiling. Even off the clock the staff and instructors are all such amazing women, and so funny! Everyone's always smiling and laughing. I feel feminine, I feel motivated, and I feel taken care of there. It's my most favorite place in the world. read more

I love this place! During off peak hours theres usually only a few people there, sometimes none other than me. Its always spotless in there and attendee's use the individual sanitizer bottles/clothes to wipe down machines after use. read more

This women's gym and aerobics studio was great when it was originally opened by Darlene (the D in its name). I started then and have been going consistently since. It was great under Tammy too, but these places have their ups and downs and the current owner is young and inexperienced, and has recently made a big mistake -- replacing the old carpeted dance/exercise floor (not ideal but springy and perfectly serviceable) with a hard unyielding one that's painful to move on. So IMHO the gym is fine if you want to work out with machines and equipment, but dangerous if you're only interested in aerobics, even the low-impact sort. read more

My husband tried to get me to enroll here months ago but I have never been a fan of all women only gyms. However, now that I'm a member here I couldn't be happier. I'm more of a weightlifter but I can honestly say they have everything I need to get in a good workout. They offer childcare and also offer 24/7 access which is a huge plus to me. The facility is clean and the staff has been super nice so far and I plan on sticking to this gym for as long as I live in the CV area! read more

As someone who has had multiple gym memberships that have provided me with nothing more than a subpar experience, D's is the only gym membership that I've stuck with and can honestly say it's provided me with so much more than a "you're in, you're out" workout experience. If you're looking for a place that genuinely cares about helping you reach your fitness goals, facilitates a safe and positive workout environment, and you value being around women that empower each other D's crosses off all those boxes. Not to mention theres over 20 classes per week with something for everyone's preferred method of sweating Coming from someone who has had a fear of gyms, and always found them to be pretty intimidating D's has led me to leave those fears and anxieties at the door. What D's doesn't have is a stigma towards women weight lifting, being strong, and asking questions! read more

I love this gym! I've been a member for almost 15 years! Clean, nice, easy going. There are lots of different options for working out. My kids went to the childcare here when they were young enough, they loved it! They loved going to the gym childcare so much they would be sad if I went without them =) They have "all access hours" available in case you like to work out at odd times like I do... I have always felt safe coming here. 5 stars ALL the way! read more

The Tuesday morning class at 9:30 (cardio and weights) is so great! Highly recommend for ALL levels!

I have been a member of this gym for about three weeks now and I can honestly say that this place is awesome! Clean and rarely crowded, it's such a great feeling being able to workout without waiting for machines or weights. My friend and I were able to get a feel for the place with a 7-day free trial before committing to a contract. The place has staffed hours, but is additionally available 24/7 for members to access. The staff is great and extremely welcoming. My only issue with this place is that I sometimes find myself a little cramped in the machine areas, but that's a small issue in the grand scheme of things. Though it may not be very large, D's is still able to deliver a great workout experience! read more

Moxie - Gym to ourselves on a Sunday! - Trainers Near Me - Castro Valley, California

Great gym run by great people! I've been a member here for less than a few weeks, and I was careful to review the policy and pricing. It's easy to understand. Then again, I'm smart (which is why I joined D's). My kids love the play area. I get to work out with no little kid bugging me for anything. Everyone's happy. read more

I joined about 4 months ago and prior to joining I utilized the free 7 day pass to try things out. I love that I was able to participate in classes and learn how to use the equipment even before I was an official member. The staff is kind and always willing to help if you need something. As the new owner, Tammy has done a great job bringing new exercise equipment, getting new classes/trainers and maintaining the cleanliness and friendliness of the gym. With the help of classes and the gym equipment I'm already reaching some of my weight loss goals and I feel motivated to continue my journey. After my dad passed last year, I had a difficult time and D's is a great place that has helped me get back on track mentally, emotionally and physically. If anything, test it out with the free 7 day pass, but I'm sure you'll be hooked by the friendly, encouraging and clean environment! read more

Love this place! I searched for a while for a gym that I loved and that my kids loved also. There membership is awesome since it includes the child care while you work out AND because they also offer classes! Very clean and super friendly staff. Happy I found this place! :) read more

I love this gym. I always feel welcome. There is something for everyone. Lots of classes, plenty of room to do your own thing and a huge choice of equipment. If I have a question on how to use a certain machine, the staff is always happy to help and demonstrate until I feel comfortable on my own .Don't know how to do a certain move (Turkish get up?) Just ask....They can help! I am also motivated to try things that would normally be intimidating like, deadlifts, front squats, and barbell presses...with HEAVY weights! Turns out I can do a LOT more than I ever thought possible. Without hurting myself or feeling "lame"....Thanks, D's for the encouragement and motivation! Final bonus, this gym is always really clean and well maintained. read more

Love this place - especially the zumba classes. Stopped by fir a free 7 day pass and never looked back.

I joined after Curves Castro Valley closed I have found it to be great! Many choices- classes - weights- machines - circuit etc. Its clean and pleasant. Should have changed long before! read more

Horrible place crooked business unorganized still trying to charge me after verbal canceling and after contract was up. Very disappointed with owners and place is packed like sardines if u ever find room to get on list for a useless class. Gained weight since going read more

This place has changed my life. As someone who HATED going to the gym, for many reasons, I found comfort here. Darlene is WONDERFUL, the rest of the staff is great as well and the vibe in there is 100% "Be yourself." You don't get that usual gym pressure that you feel other places and are free to do whatever workout you want. Have been a member for a long time and I will remain one! I love D's!!! read more

I've been going to D's Fitness for a little over a year. I love the 24 hour access, all the class options, and that they do include 1.5 hours of childcare per day while you workout! The staff is friendly and more than happy to help you out. Most of the time I go after hours, but even when I go at other times, I never have issues finding a machine. What I love most? The atmosphere and comfortability that it's all women! I highly recommend signing up for D's if you want a comfortable environment to get your workout in :) read more

Great gym, a very clean facility with a friendly staff. If your'e new to fitness and have questions on how or where to start your journey, the staff is happy to assist you. They offer free booty kicking classes and free kid care. ‍ read more

Very nice gym and I love that it's only for women. There are some really great classes and different areas to focus your workout based on your goals. They offer personal training and child care as well. You can even do a week for free. The owner is always on site and she's very accommodating and understanding. read more

This gym is awesome for women to come in and get a great workout without any creepos staring. Very clean and great staff. The one major thing that sucks is the cancellation policy. I was charged for 4 months after I cancelled my membership and i was told that there was nothing she could do, like she could not push a button to help loyal member out? Not a good customer service move or a good way to bring people back to your gym. I hate to say anything negative about this place because it was so good to my wife, but the cancellation policy and the lady who handles them need some work to keep, retain, and bring in members. After stealing $240 from me with out even using the gym once because my wife had a baby, it was time to leave. read more

I just signed up today after a 7 day trial gym pass. I work 5 minutes away, and find it convenient to come here and work out during my lunch. The gym has everything I need to get a awesome work out. The equipment is great and the weight machines are easy to work. I have not tried coming to the offered classes yet, but the area where the class is taught seems pretty open. Overall, I like how the gym is clean, accessible 24/7, and has a sauna inside. The staff is phenomenal. They are genuinely sweet and make you feel welcomed. The customer service this place provided was amazing. I look forward to working out here and getting in shape. read more

I just got a membership here, and I couldn't be more excited. The atmosphere is comfortable, the people are nice, and the place has everything I need (including childcare!). read more

I enjoy going to D's to work out. I can't believe I am saying that. BUt, its true. They are so nice and very supportive. Everything is kept clean. Darlene and Rachel always greet you and will help with questions. My personal, trainer Ivania is really good and sets the workout for me. read more

I've been a member for a year and this is a great place! VERY clean, nice people, good equipment, free AND good childcare was a big reason I tried this place out, and I've been very happy. read more

Ok, so i,m very new at the posting part of this but not too new at the attending the gym part. D's Fitness has been a literal Godsend in my life in that it has provided me with a place to not only workout without the worry you might get from co-ed gyms, in addition the people here from the staff to the other clients whom I've met have been so welcoming. You will find the workout floor to be very easy on those body parts that need a little TLC, and the staff is just as ready to give as much TLC.!!! You don't need Jan 1 to make a resolution!!!!! Kids are going back in school. Make this your 1st Annual School Year Resolution: GO TO THE GYM, TALK TO TRAINER, GO FROM THERE!!!!!! Things can only get better! Remember to keep your doctor informed. Love to all.. -TinaMarie read more

I love this place. Very clean and taken care of. Kids area is great with great people. I always feel comfortable here. Yes, if you sign a contract you are expected to pay. Duh. read more

Awesome gym!! I am loving the group training classes. I'm getting stronger and more confident everyday. Always clean and a friendly atmosphere. You can be as social or private as you like. I love it here and you will, too! read more

I freaking love this place. As the mom of a toddler, finding a gym with GOOD childcare has been a godsend. I actually look forward to going to the gym for perhaps the first time in my life. I only wish I found it sooner! read more

I've been a member for four years now...and after some thought, I've decided to end my membership with these folks. Just tried to find out why my 24-hour access card wouldn't work today and the counter person was so incredibly rude that I'm speechless. Not only was she rude but she hung up on me. The women's social club atmosphere is a bit cloying too...I go there to work out, not listen to loud personal conversations and trip over women hanging out on the machines reading or talking. If you have a problem after hours or on the weekend, you're out of luck. There's no emergency phone number to call if your purse is held hostage in one of their battery-operated lockers that are poorly maintained and lack signage telling you so. If you want a serious workout facility, this is not the place for you. read more

I love coming here. I started with the 7 day pass and I was hooked! Darlene is super sweet! The gym is always clean and I love the 24 hour access!!! read more

Beware before you give your credit card number to this business. I ended my contract with them, within the terms of the original contract agreement, and they continued to bill my credit card for another five months thereafter. The response from Darlene, the owner was, "Gee, I don't know what happened there with that cancellation..." Thus, it does not seem to have been intentional. But, it does make me question how well the operation is run there. So, be careful. read more

I love D's gym. It has everything I need in a gym. No stress about competing with any weights or machines. If you are a novice or in a competitive sport this is the place for ALL WOMEN... read more
