    I started to come out to this gym in March because some of my friends' recommended! Willison onboarded me and trained me for 2 weeks. Then I joined the 6 weeks long summer challenge in April and made some good progress! Thank you, Willison!

    Looking for a fitness facility that is guaranteed to make you break a gallon of sweat? Look no further as The Mission HQ has fitness classes with experienced trainers , that will for sure make you break a sweat with a mixture of Boxing incorporated with HIIT training classes. The facility is a non-profit, family-like ambience with a wide array of strength based focus weight lifting equipment (cage style squat racks,etc.). Many of the gym members give back to the community by participating in community service/donations.

    I never do reviews, but I want everyone to know how awesome this place is. My schedule can be different daily and they have a variety of classes (boxing, HIIT, strength) and times that work with my always changing schedule. I love the variety, it helps keep me engaged. There is also open gym with different equipment to lift weights, and spin classes through Pedal cycling. The owner and trainers are all amazing! I have made many friends at this gym and they have become like family. We do fun gym community events together.

    I reviewed this gym back in 2022, and they have now added fantastic additional classes (Low Impact HIIT, 30 minute cardio blaster, Mobility and Zumba). The six week pre-summer challenge has been amazing, where I personally have seen results, with guidance from the trainers, a food prep class and personal training. This gym is so supportive and a community to cheer each other on. If you want to feel supported in your fitness journey (no matter what your level of fitness), this is the place for you. I recommend talking to Wilson or Amy to try a week pass or a class. They even parter with Pedal Cycling, so you can take a 30 minute class and Pedal in the same location. All the trainers are great, and they take time to know your limits and get you to your goals.

    Great story and influence to the community!!

    Do they provide boxing gloves or do you need your own?

    I have worked with trainers at high-level tennis academies and in collegiate athletics, and I can…read moresay without hesitation that Luca is the best trainer I have ever worked with. What sets Luca apart is not simply technical knowledge, but an extraordinary ability to translate movement into feeling. Luca's explanations, demonstrations, and carefully chosen cues allow me to make meaningful connections in my own body. I have struggled for years with tight hips, limited mobility, and a fractured back that often made movement painful and uncertain. Luca recognized immediately that so much of that tension originated in my hips and lower body, and with remarkable patience we have devoted ourselves to strengthening those areas. The results have been nothing short of transformative. I am now squatting and deadlifting--movements I once associated only with pain and the fear of further injury. Even more importantly, I carry Luca's cues with me every time I train on my own. This experience has changed not just how I exercise, but how I inhabit my body. In a world that constantly alienates us from ourselves--through screens, endless sitting, work, comparison, and the pressure to look a certain way--Luca offers the opportunity to reconnect with your body from the inside out. There are no mirrors in the gym because the goal is not performance for an audience or chasing an image. The focus is on sensation, awareness, and discovering what your body is capable of feeling. Every session leaves me more alive, more grounded, and more grateful to be embodied. I never leave exhausted in the way I once thought a "good workout" required; I leave energized, confident, and deeply connected to myself. Luca approaches every client with exceptional care and attention, meeting each person where they are and helping them build strength not as an end in itself, but as a way of expanding freedom, resilience, and joy in everyday life. That is a remarkable gift, and I cannot recommend Luca highly enough.

    I've been training with Luca Yacón at Radically for the past three months. This was my first time…read moreworking with a personal trainer and the first time I committed myself to "the gym." I had always had a very negative connotation around the gym and held a deep belief that it wasn't a space for my body to inhabit. From the initial Zoom call to our first session, Luca's attentiveness made me feel truly supported and understood, easing my anxieties. Luca's approach to mobility and strength training is grounded in listening to your body without limiting it. I felt incredibly encouraged by the pace, but also challenged to dig into the strength I already have. Luca pays amazing attention to form and breath, laying the foundations that accommodate a variety of body types. I always leave feeling grateful for the workout, the lessons learned, the conversations, and the confidence I've gained through this supportive community at Radically Fit!

He tailors the workout to your goals whatever they may be - weight loss, general fitness, gaining muscle, etc. Clientele includes a wide variety of ages and training experience from beginner to intermediate. Workouts are done in small batches of 3 people during each time slot - so no waiting for machines, and you get personalized attention from Anthony. Workouts are circuit style, and Anthony can also tailor them on the fly depending on your current needs. The session lasts between 30-45 mins. You feel accountable to Anthony and the peer group you train with, and everyone pushes and encourages everyone else to train hard. You will leave exhausted but happy. If you're having trouble committing to a regular gym schedule, this environment is very conducive to developing a good gym habit. The health, fitness and confidence you gain from this affects every aspect of your life, so the cost seems insignificant for the benefits you reap. Anthony offers a free workout session where you can try out 1 day, and it's a nice way to test if you like it. I can't recommend Anthony highly enough - this will change your life.

With the long…read morehours and confined work space, I was starting to get a sense of urgency around my physical health. I knew that the only way to keep working on my feet was to get stronger -- but I had no idea where to start. Being an extreme introvert with limited executive function, just showing up to a gym or public fitness classes on my own volition didn't feel like an option. Thankfully my partner and I were introduced to Alison. With Alison's guidance we've been getting stronger and more confident in our work and daily activities. Consistent weekly appointments help me stay on track with my goals and give me a sense of accountability that I just can't impose on myself. She makes sure we never do the same workout twice which keeps things interesting and never boring. I've never felt stronger or more comfortable in my body. My joints feel lighter and my back is straighter. Working with Alison has been game-changing!

I feared I'd make things worse by trying to work out with no knowledge of how to approach exercising correctly. And, the motivation to go to a random, not-always-welcoming gym on my own simply wasn't there. Seeing all the great reviews of Alison and Truve, I approached Alison with my concerns, thinking she'd direct my partner and I to a group class or different trainer, but amazingly she agreed to work with us. We are so grateful for how she's made time to train us from scratch, and barely 4 months in, we already feel a huge improvement in our daily lives. Alison not only makes working out approachable, she manages to make it fun and practical.

Pilates: I love attending the reformer classes, particularly Alba's and Jessica's, but I've attended most if not all of the instructors' classes and they've all been great. The weekend classes do get kind of quick so it's better to book in advance. Gym: Clean, never packed (at least when I go). I always find space to stretch with no issue and have never had to wait for what I need. People put their weights back. There are spray bottles and cloths to wipe what you use after. The bathrooms are clean, and the red light sauna is a treat (honestly my deciding factor for adding the membership lol). I've yet to use the cold plunge or the showers. You get $10 off when you have more than 1 membership. I had a billing issue in the beginning and they were very responsive and helpful. All together I pay $164/mo for both.

He is constantly checking in, asking where I feel each movement in my body and how I'm doing, which makes every session feel intentional and safe. Matt knows how to challenge you while also reminding you that you are strong. I tend to be my own harshest critic, and he has a way of gently calling that out while still celebrating real progress and wins. His cues are incredibly clear and precise. Because of that, I can truly activate the muscles I'm working on instead of just moving through exercises. I'm a breast cancer survivor and a former marathon runner with significant knee damage. Over the past 10 years, Matt is my fifth trainer, and he stands out as one of the best. I had previously only worked with women, but Matt's style, care, and attention to detail have helped me rebuild strength and control in areas I never thought I'd regain. He is actively helping me rehabilitate function in my knees in ways I honestly did not think were possible. As a result, I'm more mobile and experiencing far less knee and joint pain. MYO Lab itself is also a standout. The state-of-the-art, smart equipment is thoughtfully designed and truly supports better form and body awareness, which complements Matt's coaching perfectly. If you're looking for a trainer who is deeply knowledgeable, encouraging without fluff, and genuinely invested in your progress, Matt is exceptional.
