    This place is huge! There is a hospital for dancer inside and some toys and books for kids to kill time. I was having contemporary beginner class with Kristin. It was like 30 students in one class but Kristin separated us into two group so everyone had time and space to explore those choreography. She usually teach same choreography 3 weeks in a roll. I was having fun and great time with her. She is very enthusiastic and patient. This was my first contemporary experience but I definitely will come back for more. Ps. They have two buildings, one is theater and one is for class.

    Ask me where to go for the best cocktails in the city, I'll say: "Bourbon and Branch" Ask me where to go for the best pork chop in town, I'll say: "nopa" My girlfriend, who's been single the last 3 months, asked me this question: "Where's the best place to meet guys?" Me: " ....... " I absolutely have NO clue. I've been in a committed relationship for the past 5 years and frankly speaking, I'm not the most qualified person to ask this question to. I shrugged my shoulders and threw out the usual suggestions: have you tried bars? match.com? your neighbors' brother's cousin?? One Saturday morning after ballet class at ODC, I was hanging out in the common room and guess what I noticed?! GUYS! Lots of 'em. They're here on their laptops while waiting for their class. They're here meeting friends and heading to a taqueria for lunch. O.M.G. They are here! Come to think of it, even my ballet class has TWO guys in it. (well, that is amazing, right?! I'm sure the African tribal, salsa and hip hop classes have TONS more!) But with a teacher like Marisa Castillo who has extensive background in ballet and also incorporates Feldenkrais in her teaching, who wouldn't go to her class? The ballet studio itself is beautiful: artsy wooden beams, light gray Marley floor (canvas or leather ballet shoes both glide nicely) and skylights make this an airy, open space that'll inspire you to dance. Don't let your work schedule or any kind of excuses get in the way of taking a dance class at ODC, they offer 200 classes a week, 365 days a year. The website is chock full of information and is constantly updated, so if the staff at the front area don't have time to help you, you can get all your info on the web. I was so excited to tell my girlfriend to take a class here, but she already beat me to it when she said that a friend asked her to take a Flamenco class at ODC. Well, great minds think alike! I'm positive that this is the most useful review I've written to date, because I can confidently say that ODC is a great place to meet guys who love to (and maybe even can?) dance.

Workout classes are not cheap, but what drew me to the Bar Method was the sign outside that said 13 classes for $78 (use within 60 days.) That comes out to be $6/class! What a steal! I'd never done barre before, but have pilates and yoga experience. I liked Barre because it toned so many different areas! We started with upper body, then moved down the body to legs and glutes and calves and abs! I liked how the class attendees were much more diverse (age, ethnicity, size) than pilates classes. It's very inclusive. Owner Noreen was the instructor and she was very helpful, guiding me and others to have better form. There are pads for when we kneel and sit. The studio is clean and airy. I like their no cell phone policy--too many people in other studios use cell phones during class and it's distracting! I also liked seeing the check-in counter woman diligently cleaning the locker area outside the class room. We take off our shoes there before going in, and it seemed clean. Will be back!

I signed up for the 5:30 Bar Method class & it was great to see some familiar faces & meet the studio owners (they also own the San Mateo & Palo Alto studios). It was a great class, fun & very effective & I know that I will be sore tomorrow. Looking forward to taking more classes soon!

    This studio and the classes/teachers used to be better, but it has changed a lot in recent years…read more.. and not for the better. Most recent experience: The last time I was at this CorePower was such a frustrating experience! There was a group of us waiting outside the studio for class, but no one ever showed up to open the studio nor teach the class, and no one was answering their phones (we also tried to reach out to their support center). On top of that, the weather was wet and awful (obv don't blame the studio for that, but waiting outside for so long with no contact from anyone at CP wasn't great). When they finally responded to my support messages, they reimbursed my booked class and gave me an extra class that expires in one month, but it was still very unprofessional that this happened at all. Classes: After pandemic, the studio is less busy which is admitted kinda nice sometimes as there isn't a struggle to find space in class even during "rush" times; however, this also means that a lot of their classes have been getting cancelled. It's unclear why, though I suspect a combo of lack of signups and the inability to find a substitute if the scheduled teacher is unavailable at short notice. Teacher Training: They're always pushing their teacher training programs and it seems like teachers graduate often. When taking class at the same time a training is going on, the student teachers often socialized in the lobby during their break, making it more challenging to get through to the class.

    1.8 miUnion Square, SoMa, Financial District
    $$$$

    Let me count the ways how much I miss and love Equinox…read more Yes, I know--it's a high-end gym. But you truly get what you pay for. I was a member of this location for over a decade, and since moving to Charlotte, North Carolina, I can honestly say there is nothing quite like it. The nearest one to me now is in Atlanta, and I still miss the San Mateo club regularly. This location has everything you could possibly want in a fitness facility--and then some. The Fitness Floor Downstairs is a beautifully air-conditioned workout space designed for people who are serious about exercising. No distractions, no crowds hovering by the windows--just a clean, focused environment. You'll find: * Full weight training equipment * Recumbent bikes, ellipticals, and treadmills * Dedicated spin, Pilates, TRX, and group fitness studios * A large open stretching area with foam rollers * Cold, filtered water stations throughout * Staff available for spotting if you're training solo It's efficient, professional, and thoughtfully designed. Locker Rooms & Amenities The locker rooms feel more like a boutique hotel than a gym. They are consistently spotless and fully stocked with: * Plush towel service * Spacious showers with teak benches * Steam rooms infused with eucalyptus * Complimentary razors, Q-tips, and personal care items * Premium Kiehl's products It's luxurious, yes--but also incredibly practical. You can comfortably get ready for work, dinner, or travel without feeling rushed. The Rooftop Pool One of the standout features is the heated rooftop pool. It has multiple lap lanes, cabanas, and water aerobics equipment, and it truly feels like a mini country club in the middle of downtown San Mateo. The pool is heated year-round, which means you can swim in any season--something you quickly get spoiled by. They even provide sunscreen from Supergoop!, along with full towel service. It's those little details that make the experience feel elevated. Classes, Spa & Services The class offerings are extensive and easy to manage through the app. Signing in is seamless--just scan your phone and go. Highlights include: * Yoga in a beautiful bamboo studio with HEPA filtration and ceiling fans * Pilates (available as private, duo, or small-group sessions) * A full-service spa on the upper level * A juice bar and retail shop featuring premium fitness apparel Everything feels intentional, polished, and well-maintained. Location & Convenience The club is located right in the heart of downtown San Mateo, making it incredibly walkable. There are restaurants, grocery stores, and cafés nearby, including one of my favorite bakeries and specialty markets. Parking is also surprisingly easy for a downtown location: * Two-hour validation * Surface lot, garage, and rooftop parking options That convenience makes a big difference in daily use. Value & Membership Yes, membership can be expensive. However, many employers offer corporate discounts, which can make the cost more manageable. In my case, the value absolutely justified the price because I used the facility regularly and took advantage of the amenities. Even when I relocated, canceling my membership was straightforward and professional--no pressure, no hassle. Bottom Line Equinox San Mateo set the standard for what a fitness club should be: clean, thoughtfully designed, service-oriented, and genuinely enjoyable to use. If I ever move to another city with an Equinox, I will join again without hesitation. Because at the end of the day-- life is short, and you should live well.

    Thank you to the team for hosting us during our visit, but unfortunately, my experience fell far…read morebelow expectations--especially for such a well-known, highly regarded brand. I was referred through the Four Seasons and booked spa services while in town for a week. While I paid full price and tipped accordingly, the overall quality of my services was disappointing. My facial, in particular, was not up to standard. I've had a HydraFacial before, and this experience was noticeably inconsistent. The serums that are typically left on the skin were removed, which was surprising and not in line with what the service should be. Meanwhile, my friend received a completely different (and much better) version of the same facial, including additional modalities and proper finishing--this level of inconsistency is a huge red flag. The massage was also underwhelming. The technique felt minimal and lacked intention, especially compared to my friend's experience, where she described a thorough, tension-relieving service that clearly went above and beyond. I did bring my concerns to the front desk staff before leaving, specifically about both my facial and massage. Unfortunately, the response was disappointing--they looked at each other as if unsure how to respond and offered no feedback, follow-up questions, or attempt to address the situation. At that point, I simply paid and left. (I will add that our initial encounter with the spa front desk girl who gave us a tour was exceptional and had great customer service etiquette. Sadly, she left as I was changing.) Customer service unfortunately didn't improve afterward. I inquired about Pilates Reformer sessions, and the front desk staff were less than helpful. I also followed up via email and didn't receive a response until a week later--which, again, is disappointing for a business of this caliber. Overall, between the inconsistent services, lack of accountability on-site, and delayed customer support, I left feeling that the experience did not reflect the price point or reputation. I had high hopes, but sadly, I'm not very impressed.

I've been on the hunt…read morefor a new gym to call home and decided to give F45 a try after coming across this location on ClassPass. I've heard of F45 before but had never actually taken a class, and I'm so glad I finally did. The workout was intense, efficient, and really well structured. It was quick, to the point, and exactly the kind of training I like, get in, work hard, and get out. The energy in the room was great. The coach was engaging and motivating, had a great playlist, and kept everything running smoothly. Everyone in the class was friendly and welcoming, which made it easy to jump right in even as a first-timer. And the workout definitely did its job, I was sore for three days. In the best way. It's the kind of soreness that lets you know you got a solid, effective workout. This place delivers on everything I look for in a gym: strong programming, great energy, efficient classes, and a welcoming community. I'll definitely be back and can see this becoming part of my regular routine.

    I took my first F45 class at Transbay a few months ago, and then had been going to classes on and…read moreoff until recent weeks when I finally found my rhythm - now I'm hooked! Classes: There are themes (Cardio, Resistance, Hybrid), but the classes within the themes are not the same, so you always get a variety of exercises to challenge yourself within the 45min block. Even if there's something you don't particularly like (for me it's pullups, lol), you just need to push through and then it's over within a few minutes or less. The structure of the 45min class includes a walkthrough of the exercises, the workout, and then an optional cooldown (or burnout, depending on the day). One thing I've always liked about F45 that I haven't seen at many other studios is the TV screens which, in addition to the 1-2 coaches walking around, are great reminders for how to do the exercises. Coaches: Dan, Manny, Ethan, Mac, Trinity, Jennifer, and the other Transbay coaches are all welcoming, friendly, and experienced. They help guide everyone through the exercises, offer tips and advice (e.g., alignment), push you to challenge yourself (e.g., increase the weight), and most importantly to motivate you! If you're a complete beginner, it can be helpful to mention that to them before class and/or wave them down during class if you would like additional attention and instruction. Studio: The studio is probably one of the easiest F45 studios to get to, if you don't already live or work nearby, because it's right across the street from the Transbay Terminal or a short walk from Market or Embarcadero. (The entrance is down a small side street, which can be missed if you don't the sign on the street though.) The studio itself still feels all shiny and new, and the equipment is in excellent, like new condition. There are open cubbies to store your things during class, and there are also 2 all-gender (individual) restrooms, showers, and towels available to use. Membership/Pricing: F45 has memberships, class packs (including an intro pack for newbies), and drop-in rates. They're also on ClassPass (and GymPass..?). If you're aiming to go to a class during peak hours, it can be a good idea to book your spot in advance.

I chose James as my trainer because we both have a history of lower back issues. I wanted someone who understood how to help me build strength safely, and James has delivered. He's kind, supportive, and very organized. What I appreciate most is how attentive he is--if something feels off or painful, he listens, makes adjustments, and those adjustments almost always solve the problem. James focuses on a full-body workout, which has been a big shift for me. I used to focus only on lower body exercises to rehab my back, but I've learned how important upper body and back exercises are for staying injury-free. I've also picked up skills for lifting weights properly and can see that I'm much more toned now. Overall, James is a great trainer. He checks in after each session, tailors workouts to my needs, and has helped me feel stronger and more confident. Highly recommend!
