With this perspective, I can unequivocally state that Alondra and Maurice, and their team, stand head and shoulders above their competitors - from boutique fitness gyms to the big, national chains. In an industry that capitalizes on making money off of people who sign up and don't show up, the True Action professionals actually care about their clients and they are committed to helping you achieve your goals. The Concord True Action location is convenient to the entire east bay. Parking is easy and the gym is always clean and in good repair. The vibes are good too. People at every level of fitness come in to work out: We laugh, we sweat and we support each other. It can be challenging, but it's always fun. However you feel when you walk in the True Action door, you are guaranteed to feel better when you leave!

Hands Down!!!…read more I've been client and competitor under Alondra and the trainers of True Action for nearly 10Years and I can confidently say True Action Gym stands out as premier. From day one, the atmosphere has been nothing short of motivating. The trainers are highly knowledgeable, providing invaluable guidance tailored to individual goals and what I feel sets them apart is the sense of community is unmatched. I've developed life long friends that truly encourage push and hold me accountable. Everyone encourages one another, creating a welcoming environment for all fitness levels. True Action has played a pivotal role in my fitness journey, helping me reach new heights in my training and my competing.

I've been training with Marilyn since November 2023, and the results are showing! What sets Marilyn…read moreapart is her truly tailored approach to my specific needs and situation. She took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences, and consistently challenges me (to the point that I also challenge myself now!). Marilyn is also an incredibly cool and down to earth person, who truly makes the journey easier! I've never consistently worked out in my life and this couldn't be a better fit (personality wise), as she doesn't make you feel like you're the one being trained- more so like you have a partner in the workout journey. Her positive attitude and encouragement keep me motivated and engaged- I went from twice a week to nearly every weekday. I highly recommend Marilyn to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective personal trainer who genuinely cares about their clients' success and brings a fun, positive vibe to every workout.

I'm almost six months postpartum, and training with Marilyn has become one of my favorite parts of the week. One of the best things about our workout sessions is that I can bring my baby along. As a new, first-time mom, finding time to work out is a huge challenge, and if it weren't for Marilyn, I don't know how I'd manage. Not only is she super caring and sweet, but she also pushes her clients to do their best. I always leave feeling like I got an incredible workout, and she tailors everything to my comfort level. I sometimes do Peloton workouts at home, but it's just not the same as working out with others or having a trainer who holds you accountable. Marilyn even provides a fantastic meal plan and an app to help track calories and offers home workouts through the app, which makes it super convenient. She also takes measurements at least once a month, which really helps me stay on track. Plus, she looks amazing, which is so motivating! Since training with Marilyn, I've lost about 10 pounds, and my body fat percentage has dropped by 4.6%. I know if I were stricter with my calorie intake, as Marilyn recommends, I'd likely see even more results, but my main focus right now is just moving my body and having fun! My baby and I genuinely enjoy every session, and we've met so many lovely ladies. I'm so grateful for Marilyn and everything she does--if you're looking for an amazing, affordable trainer, I highly recommend her!

They just happened to starting their Summer Fitness Challenge. Needless to say, it was one of the most profound and impactful decisions I have made in a long time. In the nine weeks since starting, the changes I have undergone have been nothing short of extraordinary, and people are noticing. The workouts, though challenging, are excellent. The patience of the staff, the atmosphere of the club and the motivation to progress is second to none. TFX has been a true difference maker and I cannot thank the staff and coaches enough!

As a personal trainer and health and wellness coach, I've been to a number of gyms across the East…read moreBay, and Vim and Vigor genuinely has the potential to be one of the best in the area. Unfortunately, my recent experience with the manager makes it hard to recommend right now. I was billed twice for my membership due to what appeared to be a billing error on the gym's end. An associate worked with me to resolve it, and as far as I knew, the issue was fixed. About a week later, however, the same double-billing issue happened again. When I brought it up with the same associate, he advised me to speak with the manager directly. A few days later, I sat down with the manager and explained the full situation: I had been charged twice, an associate had already tried (unsuccessfully) to resolve it, and I was now dealing with the same problem again. Throughout the conversation, the manager came across as visibly disinterested and annoyed. When I jokingly suggested we could call it even if I just grabbed a protein shake from their fridge, he responded with, "I don't see why you think you're entitled to one. It's not my problem." When I explained that I felt entitled to a refund -- both because the double billing was their error and because the issue persisted even after I'd already sought help from an associate -- he flatly refused. He then told me he intended to write up the associate who had tried to help me, which frankly felt like retaliation for the associate simply doing his job. Afterward, I mentioned what happened to another staff member, who wasn't surprised at all and openly referred to this manager as the "worst manager" they'd worked under. This gym has real potential, but as long as this manager is in charge of handling member issues, I don't see it living up to it. I the meantime, I recommend UFC Gym, 24 Hr Fitness or even Planet Fitness. I sincerely hope upper management takes note and makes a change.

You…read moremay wonder why I am making a review now if I haven't been in so long, well the reason is because although I have moved on from this gym because I moved out of the area, I have taken the lessons bob taught me, with me. He is truly knowledgeable in proper form and the training I acquired from him have transcended across time and gyms I have gone to since then. I started to go to a new gym in the area I live in now and although the trainers there are great they do not compare to the proper training I received from Bob. Even when working out at other gyms not affiliated with bob I am always complimented on my form and technique. Anyways if you're looking for a gym that is really going to slow things down, to learn the basics and push you to be the strongest you can be I recommend ITG.

This review is long overdue. I started my fitness journey 6 years ago and I've been in and out of…read morevarious gyms depending on where I live and where I work. I have to say out of all the gyms I've been to: FBBC, UFC, Planet Fitness, The Camp, and many other local family owned gyms, Concord fitness boot camp aka Fit Body Boot Camp concord has been the absolute best! I lost weight but the change was not just in appearance. I actually felt stronger and could notice the difference in my strength. My energy and endurance was like my teen days. The crazy part is appearance wise this gym has been the least impressive. But Virgil makes the small space functional and you really don't need much more than this. When I showed up for my first trial the location made me hesitant. Virgil's customer service was great and he made me feel welcomed. The other members were friendly and there were all ages and body types. I stayed and loved it. Everyone was extremely helpful and motivating. They all push you to finish your reps, to keep moving and not quit, and if you struggle they make you feel okay with modifying while teaching you ways to work on it until you can one day do what you're struggling with. It was hard but it seemed like within days my body learned how to handle doing sit ups and push ups. Another major part is nutrition. Virgil helped me with a shopping list and meal ideas. He is respectful but also doesn't sugar coat. With each weigh in he reminded me what I needed to do to stay on track. I also learned how to count calories. If I still lived in the area I would see about joining again. If I didn't give it 5 stars it is solely because of the cost. When I went it cost around by $300/month. Is it worth it? Yes. Is it affordable and feasible? No. I could not keep up going there as it was too much for my budget. Pictures for comparison of cheeks and chin when I first started in March to September

With reassurance from the owner (whose phone number was on Google), it was indeed open for business, I was excited to get moving for my Friday workout. I was introduced to the owner and other people who showed up for the class and I could tell they were regulars. The place looked pretty legit as you know I love legit gyms :-) I was asked to disinfect the bottom of my shoes as street shoes aren't allowed on the floor, since we laid on them for floor workouts. That made me feel better because I ain't tryna rest my head on a floor where people before me don't know where to walk sometimes and you don't know where they come from ahem, SF CITY STREETS!!! This was my first Bootcamp class in a long while so I was pretty thankful that Virgil (owner and trainer) allowed me to modify my workouts. It was a damn good sweat and I had great energy the rest of the day.
