I can't say enough amazing things about this gym, the coaches and community. I began with Melissa…read morein the spring after an injury, hoping to keep moving while rehabilitating, and what I've gotten is so much more. I used to be a HIIT class die-hard, but I will never return to that way of working out after experiencing the thoughtful and totally transformative approach at Opex. Melissa is brilliant and dedicated, she has been more knowledgeable than the PT's I've seen for my injury, she understands the needs of a mom returning to exercise postpartum, and she has helped transform my body -- I am leaner and stronger than I have ever been, even after years of personal training in the past. She has made me feel so cared for as she creates workout plans with meaningful challenges and serious attention to my individual needs. Both she and Josh are warm, attentive to form, and are passionate about helping members get stronger sustainably. Having worked out at many different gyms in the past, I can confidently say, Opex Kura is one of a kind.

I've been working out at OPEX Kura with Melissa as my coach since early June of this year and…read morereally love the format: personal trainer, floor coaches, working sessions, monthly check-ins. But I was most pleased to find a reasonably diverse group of gym goers: good number of female clients and some variety of ages and sizes. I (65F, overweight, very self conscious) thought I would hate weight/strength training and the whole going-to-the-gym thing, but I don't. I've come to enjoy my sessions and how I feel physically after a workout. I give Melissa a lot of credit for that and am expecting to continue for the long term.

If you are looking for a FUN, LIFE-CHANGING and MOTIVATIONAL gym to start on your fitness goals,…read morethen look no further and sign up with CORE TOTAL FITNESS as soon as possible. My journey started with a quick 15 minute phone call with the owner (Elliot) who was extremely friendly and understanding as I explained to him about my pandemic weight gain woes in being sedentary from working from home and how I needed to jump start my workout routine. He got me excited to sign up for the free 30 minute consultation that I booked it within the same week. He then connected me with one of his trainers (Manny) who provided me with a walk-through of the gym layout and general overview of a training session. Without any hesitation, I went ALL IN and signed up for the 4x/week package and 7 months later I can honestly say that I am healthier and stronger than I have been in years. I am also super lucky to have the best top-notch trainers (Manny, Lauren, and Brenden) constantly motivating and helping me every step of the way in designing challenging but enjoyable workout sessions so that I can achieve my personalized fitness goals. I highly recommend CTF especially if you want to find a gym that really cares about the health and safety of their clients and who takes the time in improving your mind, body and spirit one workout session at a time. Thank you again to the CTF team for igniting my inner athlete and reminding me it is never too late to work on becoming your best self!

From the friendly staff to all of the equipment that is available this gym has it all. There is privacy and you never feel like someone is looking over your shoulder or judging you. If you are new to working out they have personal trainers to help you. Overall this gym is great and I highly recommend it to all my friends and family.

This is my partner's gym and I recently checked it out with him to do a drop-in workout! You feel…read morethe community vibe pretty much as soon as you step foot in the gym. Everyone was so friendly and a few introduced themselves to me too. I'm pretty anxious when it comes to working out in gyms and in front of others because I'm self-conscious, but was much less so around these folks. Not a huge amount of space, but more than enough to see multiple people pushing themselves while others observe and cheer them on. I met the owner Kevin and he was super friendly. My partner wanted to help me with an intro workout and Kevin stepped in to coach me a bit and let me borrow some proper shoes for the workout. I just wanted to give these guys some love, so if you're looking to get into olympic weightlifting or find a workout community, this is a great one!

He is incredibly selfless with his time and knowledge, always willing to help athletes improve both in and out of the gym.

Even…read morethough I use much lighter weights than everyone else and usually do the scaled exercises, the coaches are attentive to my progress and my peers are supportive. CrossFit Burlingame has a very tight-knit community but I like to do my own thing and they are very respectful of that also. I don't feel pressured to join the events and feel equally valued as a non-social member so it's a very comfortable atmosphere. Both the coaching staff and the members reflect the diversity of the area and I feel like I fit in. In terms of the pandemic, I appreciate that they have set up an outdoor exercise area in the parking lot with safety measures like temperature checks and mandatory hand-washing and equipment-wiping. They changed the online class signup system to limit class sizes and also allow for mobile self-check-in to further protect each person and minimize risk. I feel very lucky that I have an outdoor exercise option during the pandemic!

I wanted to give CrossFit Burlingame a fair shot, but after a few months, the logistics and the…read moreenvironment just aren't working for me. I honestly dread coming here. For $300 per month, save your money and go somewhere else. You've been warned. The Good: The onboarding process was seamless, and they are highly responsive via text when you are first signing up to learn more. The workouts themselves are solid if you like Mayhem programming.(lots of cardio) the programming doesn't lend itself well to being able to scale handstand pushups or overhead squat where I have seen other boxes have better scaling options for these. The Not-So-Good: The Commute & Parking: Getting here is stressful. The streets leading to the gym are incredibly narrow, and people tend to speed through them (I've actually had a couple of close calls/accidents). Parking is strictly street/residential and very crowded; I've had to park a 15-minute walk away before. I came 39 mins early once and there was still no parking to be found and just gave up and went home. For $300 per month this is insane. People filming: Fitness influencers do not blur your face when filming themselves. Some fitness influencers consistently film themselves and don't ask if they can blur your face if you're in their frame. I think that's just common courtesy. Or else you yourself need to accommodate and move yourself out of their frame. Big box gyms do a better job enforcing this. Limit on class signups: they max each class at 28-30 signups and there's really no limit but the gym can comfortably handle 16-19 people. There's not even enough space in the gym for 28. One time there were so many people some people had to leave and couldn't even fit. Some people come in 15 mins late and crowd the back and there's just chaos and safety issues when there are 28 people in the gym or more. Some people also don't signup. Atmosphere: It feels a bit unwelcoming and feels very chaotic and disorganized. Coaches just run the class without much personal interaction. In my months here, no coach has ever introduced themselves to me. Cleanliness: The facility needs maintenance. The bathroom is frequently out of order, and the floors leave a heavy black residue on your hands during floor movements. Cancellation: Be aware that the cancellation form is pretty buried on their site, and getting a response via email might never happen. It's almost impossible to cancel or get a response about cancellation. It's a decent place if you just want to put your head down and workout, but keep the parking, cleanliness, and hands-off coaching style in mind before joining. Not all workouts are posted on app: some of the classes's workouts like workshop or power building are not posted so you're gonna be in for a surprise if you sign up for those.

Kip is hands-down the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. As an aging (55+) "weekend…read morewarrior", I had been struggling with a host of random injuries, many of which sidelined me for months. Physical therapy helped me limp back onto the court or on the bike, only to quickly injure myself again. Kip stepped in and carefully catered a strength training program for me to help address my vulnerabilities and goals. I have strength trained in the past, but found myself plateauing quickly and/or injuring myself in the effort. I have never seen the level of results that I have experienced with Kip's program. Every workout with him has been different; he has an innate ability to mix things up while focusing on the whole body and the overall plan. He listens well, helps me work around injuries and is a great motivator. With the same amount of workout time, i am getting 2-3x the results. My athletic performance on the court has gotten a huge boost, I feel better and I look better. Kip even helped me acquire equipment for my home/garage workout area so that i can more easily keep the program rolling, in spite of a busy schedule. Highly recommend!!!
