I went over to the front desk and told them there was a naked man in the women's locker room just sitting there, watching everyone and he responded that they are legally not allowed to remove him. Please educate me because this doesn't seem right. I told them I usually let my 11 year old daughter go to the bathroom herself and I don't feel like it's safe and yet, YMCA did nothing. I was at the YMCA because my daughter had a game. After her game, I checked the women's locker room (about an hour after I took my son to the bathroom) and the naked man was still there, sitting there and putting lotion on his body. This is not okay. Please be careful everyone, especially those with children.

Remodel FOR THE WIN! I almost don't want to leave this review because people should experience the…read moresame awe and wonder I got to yesterday at the reopening, but this place deserves all the stars. I have been a member here for 8+ years. I check in between 4-5x / week. Not only is the place IMMACULATE from literally the freshly painted ceiling to the new floors but they now offer elite equipment and body building machines from brands like Skelecore and Nautilus. They also still have a good amount of the previous hoist machines. Even with all the new equipment the place somehow feels bigger. The spacing is very well done and the flow from entry to the floor is well organized. In addition to the absolutely beautiful cleaning and maintenance, ALL machines are now in working order. There are new hip thrust machines, really nice new machines for back and chest, and the stand out is the epic leg day palace. What was once the basketball court has been converted into a literally haven of RACKS! If you have ever hit this gym during rush hour on a Tuesday you know getting a rack was sometimes a 30-45 minute wait. No more my friends! Racks on racks on racks. They also got a couple new leg presses and tons of new accessory machines. This gym has everything I personally need to hit all body parts and cardio for my split. The weights are varied. There are squat racks and platforms for training Olympic lifts as well as racks with safety cages. There are dumbbells up to 125lbs, cables, treadmills, stair masters, ellipticals and bikes. The group X room is open except during classes. I've tried a few classes here my favorite is Zumba with Maritza. I usually just check the App for the schedule. The pool area is basic and pretty much still the same except a lot cleaner now. There's a sauna and a steam room and a two lane pool. The bathrooms are as clean as you would expect a busy gym bathroom to be. And ten times cleaner than before. A lot of the staff have been here for years and years which speaks volumes. Everyone I have spoken to is friendly and helpful. Shout out to Salde and Sandra who are the best. The manager Francisco has been here since I can remember, is always kind and is very friendly. A couple years ago a better deal than I had been paying for came up and Francisco suggested I let my current membership expire or however it works and I got the yearly for a better price. He is always looking out for members and does his best to hold the ones who don't pick up after themselves accountable. Now that this place is spotless, it will mean that people who workout here MUST take care of the space better! I totally think it's possible but I'm also prepared to be that girl asking you to put your weights back pls. PARKING is easy if you don't go during peak rush hours. Overall the remodel took this gym from a 2/10 to a 10/10 but don't let me convince you until you see for yourself.

I am SO glad we found Strength Camp SF on Yelp. We started with their free introductory class, and honestly, that first impression sealed the deal. The coaching, the structure, the vibe, everything just felt right. From day one, it was clear this isn't a "do your own thing and hope for the best" gym. It's intentional, well programmed, and actually cares about progress. Huge shout out to the coaches I have worked with so far- Lisa, Jeremy, Patrick, Kobe. They have all been phenomenal. Super knowledgeable, patient, and great at pushing you just enough while still making sure form and safety come first. The weekday programming is thoughtfully structured around specific lifts and muscle groups (deadlifts, squats, lower body, etc.), which makes progress feel real and measurable. And Saturdays are my absolute favorite. The weekend training sessions with Lisa and Patrick are something I genuinely look forward to. I try very hard not to miss them. Challenging, fun, and such a great way to end the week feeling strong and accomplished. One of the things I love most is the community. The people who train here are supportive, encouraging, and actually cheer each other on. It's motivating in the best way. No ego, no weird gym energy, just people showing up and doing the work together. Overall, Strength Camp SF has helped us build consistency, confidence, and real strength. I am genuinely proud of how far we have come, and while I know I still have a long way to go, I feel confident that if I stay disciplined and keep showing up, I will hit my goals. This gym makes that feel possible and honestly, enjoyable.

I've been working with Coach Jeremy for about three months now, and I'm super excited about how…read moremuch I've progressed. Starting from zero experience in powerlifting, and thanks to his guidance (plus a fair share of blood, sweat, and tears--thanks, Coach!), I've grinded my way up to a 4-wheel (405) deadlift. Coach Jeremy has helped me nail proper technique to prevent injury, maximize my lifting potential, and pushed me to get that "one last" rep for growth. If you want to get better at anything, you need a solid plan and someone who knows what they're doing--and that's exactly what Coach Jeremy brings to the table. I highly recommend Coach Jeremy to anyone looking to level up. Next stop: 5 wheels! ‍

Fitness 19 has its pros and cons. I was surprised that this location did not have locker rooms,…read morejust restrooms and maybe a changing room. They have small lockers just outside of the restrooms, so do not plan on bringing anything to shower or a giant duffel bag full of personal items. Evening crowd was surprisingly overwhelming. a lot of teens and young adults who work out in groups of 3-4, often hogging the machines and free weights. However, after my first experience coming in here at 6:30pm, I decided to come early in the morning (6am), and the experience was so much more pleasant!! The machines are clean, only about 30 people in the gym, and I had access to everything before I start my day at work. So far, so good.

Last year on Thanksgiving I had lower back injury that put me out of the gym for about a month or…read moreso. That was my first serious injury and I knew it was a bit of a wake up call and I had to prioritize my fitness and health. I contacted Fitness SF to get a membership and information on a trainer that specialized in getting back to it after an injury. After I signed up they assigned Albert as my trainer. Albert from day one explained the approach he would take to help build me back up after this injury. Albert put together a good plan that we have stuck to for the past few months. The results speak for themselves after training with him for almost three months now. He helped me tidy up my diet as well and I have gained 5lbs of muscle and lost 3lbs of fat. I feel stronger than I have in a while and my back is feeling 100%. While I had to do the work to get there, Albert was the X factor in the progress I have made. If you're lucky enough to have Albert as your trainer, expect to work hard and get real results!

This is by far the dirtiest gym I've seen in the entire area. The equipment, locker rooms, and…read moreshowers are constantly in poor condition and clearly not maintained properly. It honestly feels like management doesn't care about cleanliness or the experience of their members. The front desk staff (the girl working Tuesday around 10 PM and the guy who said he was her boss) were extremely unwelcoming and rude. They spoke in a very aggressive and threatening manner and were clearly misrepresenting the information in the contract. Instead of helping or explaining things professionally, they tried to intimidate and confuse the situation. This kind of behavior from staff is completely unacceptable. The management is also very misleading. Their main goal is to sell you a membership at any cost, and once you sign up, they make it extremely difficult to cancel. They keep charging your card month after month even when you try to get out of the membership. I would strongly recommend staying away from this place. There are many better, cleaner, and more honest gyms in the area.

No frills, no nonsense gym that has everything you need to get a good workout in…read more After moving back to San Francisco in the middle of last year I was looking for a gym that was more local/ in my neighborhood that I could walk to rather than taking public transit to another part of the city. That's when I came across the Sunset Gym this past December. I started my membership with a week long pass and eventually converted it to a monthly membership. (The payment for the week pass went into my first month of membership) Pricing wise this place is a very reasonable compared to the bigger chains (i.e Fitness SF), but admittedly you are also restricted to one location. For me though, that's not a problem as I wanted a neighborhood gym more than anything. The gym itself is great - it's old school (think OG Gold's Gym style). Downstairs has plenty of free weights and a good selection of machines. Upstairs has a dedicated Cardio area, a spot for stretching, as well as additional free-weights and an outdoor area. Staff I've interacted with so far have been wonderful. Very glad to have found a great gym close by to where I live

Definitely a transit-first or walk-from-your-home-type gym, 9th and Irving is not known for its parking (though it IS known for it's ever-present MTA carts zipping around). Love the towels, the multiple bathrooms and showers, the fans everywhere, and the small outdoor area on the second floor.
