This place is just the best. I've been in the group fitness classes for a month now and it's been…read moreso much fun. The people in the class have been going for YEARS and they are all so fun and energetic. Lisa (who runs the classes) is such a chill yet motivating coach. She's funny with jokes, plays good music and helps with your form too. The classes realllly get a tough workout in in the best way possible. Response times were a little lag at first, but the IG DM never fails and I got a response right away, email took just a few extra days! If I wasn't moving away, I would keep going here for years - and I am absolutely looking for a similar workout in my next city - can't say better things about this place!

I emailed them with a question as well as expressing interest in setting up a consultation, and…read morenever got a response. It's been over a month. Very strange. Maybe they missed my email by accident but it's disappointing all the same, given all the good reviews. As a prospective member, I was highly discouraged by the lack of response, and decided to look elsewhere.

This is my review for Tucker at Powerform! I've been working with Tucker now for nearly 3 months…read more He came on recommendation from 2 of my friends and I've now referred another of my best friends to him as well, and so glad we're all getting trained by him. From day one, he's been engaged, incredibly enthusiastic and clearly loves what he does. I appreciate his energy and creative approaches to agility, flexibility and strength exercises. He's attuned to form and adjusts weight accordingly based on what he sees in you... and he's a fantastic communicator. I have definitely left each session feeling accomplished and having learned something new!

I started my time at Powerform after having my second daughter in April 2023. As someone who has…read moretypically engaged in Pilates, the idea of weightlifting was intriguing but intimidating. Max, the owner, was quick to respond to my online inquiry and was able to set me up with two trainers- Mikkie and John. He took time to chat with me about my goals. Shout out to Max for his excellent communication and thought processes for connecting you with particular trainers. John - within seconds, I immediately felt comfortable with John. He always lays out the groundwork for you so you know what to expect. His warmups always get me motivated for what's to come. I love that he is so encouraging and always keeps me on my counts during reps. John is extremely personable, and I truly enjoy our conversations. Mikkie- she has refined my squat game like no other and has pushed me to lift more than I ever expected to. She pushes me in the best way and always gives me opportunities to excel. I truly enjoy her style of training. As a mother of two young children, working out at Powerform has been transformative, to say the least. This has been my time out of the day for myself both mentally and physically. After many years of aimless workouts, I finally feel like I know how to spend my time to get the results I want. I feel stronger than ever, and that is thanks to the wonderful staff at Powerform. Highly recommend!

Tried a strength class Monday and a Cardio HIIT class Tuesday. Both were awesome!! I appreciated…read morethe staff and the fact that there were 2 coaches in both classes (not sure if that's typical). All 4 were great! Street parking, try to come a little earlier.

I started working with Mae about 6 weeks ago as someone who was pretty new to the gym, and she has…read morebeen great. She immediately made me feel comfortable and never intimidating, which made a huge difference for me starting out. She does a really good job of explaining what we're doing and why, so I actually feel like I'm learning instead of just going through the motions. Every workout feels challenging in a good way, and I've already noticed myself feeling more confident in the gym. If you're new or just want someone knowledgeable who makes the process feel approachable, I'd definitely recommend Mae.

Signed up for membership here since this location is a quick walk from home. It's nice, but the…read morespace is a little small, esp for the area. At times I had to wait a bit for a machine to free up, which was annoying. But the space is clean and everyone seems respectful, so I wont complain too much. I just need to figure out which times are less crowded. It would be great if the app displayed that info - like Planet Fitness. Will I return? Um yeah. I'm paying for a membership, and it's up the street. Another positive: based on the reviews I was nervous of passing out from lack of ventilation, and the temp was actually perfect. It wasn't stuffy/hot at all.

I recommend it if you frequent this area. Staff is friendly and keeps the facilities clean. I rarely see broken equipment. Its smaller than most 24 hour fitnesses.

Make no mistake, this is a workout! You work parts of your body that you didn't know could do the moves here. Very good for you body and soul!

I LOVE everything about XCORE. I signed up for their unlimited newbie special and I strongly…read morerecommend getting this membership if you're first starting out as you get to experience different instructors and take both xBurn and xClimb classes. They have so much availability (morning, noon, evening) on their schedule making it easy to schedule out my weeks ahead of time. The instructors genuinely care that you're having fun, enjoying the moves, and feel comfortable in your body. It's a challenge, but they will push you! I've taken a couple of their xClimb classes and oh my, that is SUCH a workout. Great music and you feel amazing after class. Parking has been pretty easy at this location! Sometimes there are events at the chapel down the street making it difficult to find parking, but that's quite rare in my opinion. Overall, I'm super grateful to have found this studio and community. I cannot wait to explore the other studios & instructors throughout the Bay!

As someone new to CrossFit, I found James to be a great coach -- patient, attentive, and focused on proper form. He gave helpful adjustments and kept the class moving at a good pace. I'd definitely consider coming back once my wrist heals. I did have a small billing issue that took a little time to sort out, but James ultimately took care of it. It's clear they're a small business doing their best, and I appreciate that. I'm glad to support a local gym that offers solid coaching and a welcoming community.

Pacific Strength is truly something special…read more I am not a lifter and walked in feeling genuinely intimidated by a functional fitness gym environment. That fear disappeared almost immediately. The instructors (Jessica, Zach, Makenna, James, and others!) are kind, attentive, and incredibly good at meeting you exactly where you are -- no ego, no pressure, just thoughtful coaching and encouragement. James, the owner, is a wonderful human. He sets the tone for the entire space: supportive, inclusive, and deeply invested in people's progress and well-being. The community reflects that -- the patrons are welcoming and encouraging, and there's absolutely no judgment. I'm more of a yoga and Pilates person, but I knew I needed to incorporate strength training for long-term health. Since coming here, I've gotten noticeably stronger, improved my range of motion, developed better form, and -- most importantly -- gained confidence with weightlifting. No one cares that I lift a fraction of the weight others do. Everyone is focused on their own progress, and there's always a way to scale or modify. This is an ideal gym even if you're not looking to become an Olympic weightlifter but are looking to maintain muscle, protect bone density, move better, and feel strong -- especially for women who want functional strength without intimidation. Pacific Strength proves that strength training can be empowering, accessible, and genuinely enjoyable. I can't recommend it enough.

I was just starting to get into Sweat classes before this pesky pandemic hit. Speaking of hit, my…read moregirlfriend and I have really come to love the HIIT classes sweat offers. We have now become regulars to their zoom offerings and while not the same as in person, having become familiar with Anya and Ashley, they are both very good about calling us out on adjustments to our form or slacking off. What I like most about these classes is that they always offer an option with some at home equipment if you have it (bands, weights, chairs, balls, etc) or alternative options if you don't have these things. I personally prefer full-body days but I also enjoy showing up to class not knowing what to expect. That element of surprise keeps you on your toes. This is probably more of a thing for classpass users as they don't say what the theme is for each class. Thanks Sweat for keeping me somewhat active during this crazy time.
