To Matty, Alec and Taylor - Folks I have met with all of you and have written/ discussed/ texted with you over hours. You all agreed that my gym membership was incorrectly cancelled in 2024 and I have been charged over 16 MONTHS WITHOUT AN INVOICE (more than $1200 in total). I even considered a lower settlement amount since you all pleaded about being a non-corporate, SMB gym. But now you all have now taken to hiding, screening my calls and avoiding payment rather than be a professional outfit. I am extremely disappointed with this behavior and the standards you set. Folks - for anyone considering TWR please note that their cancellation policy is a bit of a joke and resolution processes for incorrect billing and cancellations are basically treated as an exercise to induce fatigue. I have been to the gym in person multiple times to speak to ALL their partners and they decide to rip me off after leading me around in circles since 5 months now. Happy to post more details/ screenshots for interested viewers. read more

No fuss type of gym with a super welcoming chill vibe. You get a key pin that's refreshed every so often and workout whenever you want so no excuses ! Love that that there's everything I need in here to strength train and do cardio and a little bit of pilates. Highly recommend ! read more

The Weight Room - Gyms Near Me - Redwood City, California

Equipment is kept clean and in working condition. Staff is super helpful and respectful. Small but it has everything you need to workout.

Update to my previous reviews. This is an excellent gym and the most excellent part of this excellent gym is the trainer Matty Tabone. With a personal trainer the truly important thing, I think, is that you want to keep coming back, week after week, year after year. And with Matty you will keep coming back. Everyone comes back. People come back because they get stronger working with him, sure, but really they keep coming back because he is kind, selfless and compassionate. One funny Matty story: he used to work with very old people and a woman had a cat that she could no longer care for. No one, of course, wanted this old woman's old cat and so who takes it in? Matty of course. And then he looks after this old cat for years and feels lucky to have the old cat! Another funny Matty story, I left my phone at the gym the other night and knowing I have young kids and couldn't easily come back he drove to my building and waited with my phone until I got home! Who does that? Matty. He's an excellent personal trainer and an even better friend. You will be lucky if you can work with him, he'll make every day you see him a little better. read more

I'm so new to fitness and so glad that I found The Weight Room. The location is perfect, there's always easy access to all kinds of machines and weights, it's never too crowded, and the trainers are always there to help. Special thank you to Matty and Alec. They have not only helped me with my training sessions but also encouraged me to go regularly via text which is such a good help for new bees like me. I'd recommend this place to anyone lives in peninsula. read more

Prime location! Great gym! Spacious! And lastly, Matty is the best. He's an amazing personal trainer!

Love this place. Taylor is a an absolute gentleman. He very patiently answered all my dopey questions and am thrilled I decided to join. No frills- no Zumba or Barre classes, no huge crowds and no crazy long term contracts. It's a weight room that has everything you need and nothing you don't. Brilliant idea. Thanks Taylor. read more

Great spot to get in a nice workout without. Friendly people who are dedicated to a kind and encouraging environment with all the basics you need to get your workout in and then some. read more

By far the nicest gym my partner and I go to. Clean, peaceful, quiet, with all the equipment and accessories for lifting and muscle recovery. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful! Highly recommended, very flexible with plans read more

Tried this new gym near downtown RWC for the first time today (leg day). They have everything I needed to get a great workout: lots of free weights, squat racks, cable machines, ALL the cardio machines (treadmills, bikes, spin bikes, stair machine, rower etc.), a large free area/stretch area with TRX. There's reserved free parking right in front of the place. They offer classes (indoor and outdoor). I haven't tried the classes yet but the trainers were very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. read more

I've been going to the Weight Room for over a month, and I love it so much! Taylor and Matty are AWESOME and they make the entire physical training process accessible. The atmosphere is friendly and cooperative, and people want to get to know you! It feels like a community here. The personal trainers can help you with any issue you have -- from weight loss to tight muscles (back or shoulder) to general fitness. They are all knowledgeable about personal training and have pushed me much harder than I would ever push myself. read more

Nice local owned business. No yearly contract like franchise gyms, and not crowded at all. Both Tylor and Maddi are knowledgable and very easy to work with. read more

I was on winter break for a couple of weeks, and stumbled upon this gym. I decided to try it out because it's close to where I live and it honestly exceeded all of my expectations. Was happy not only with Taylor's help, but the facility itself is very well laid out, and had what I needed to get my workouts done. I really liked the fact that it was 24/7, so I would be able to get a nightly workout in, with the gym all to myself. It gave my workouts a very personal feel, which I enjoyed. Definitely recommend for anyone looking for a gym in the area! read more

See all

I love the privacy. Unlike some gyms large wide open. This gym is by room. Cardio etc. I'm excited about the new 24 access. Both personal trainers I work with were great. read more

I just signed up and love it. I think that what makes this place great aside from not being over loaded with people, the fact that it's family owned. If you want peace of mind during your workout out, I recommend you check The Weight Room since you won't have to stress in waiting for available equipment...you know what that means Haha One last thing, prices are awesome and Taylor has different packages to work with you. Anyway, thanks Taylor for everything! read more

It's a great gym! Owner is helpful and thoughtful and equipment is good for a small facility. A really annoying thing though is that when I get there at 7am, the place doesn't actually open until much later (around 7:30) ): so basically you just wait in the parking lot until someone eventually shows up. Not the fault of the gym or the owner / operator, but it really is a bummer that throws off your morning routine if you have one. I love the place though, and will def update this once it gets more consistent! read more

This place is great! I was in town for a couple days and needed to find a gym to drop in at, and this one had everything I wanted: squat racks, free weights, and lots of other stuff. The owner was super flexible (and so friendly) and made it easy to drop in. This is an excellent fitness option, especially because it's family-owned. read more

I happily discovered The Weight Room! This place is a gem. It is an unpretentious, uncrowded gym in downtown Redwood City with awesome trainers and a good selection of equipment. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Reasonable prices. Highly recommend this place! read more

perfect sized gym for a personal workout yet big enough to accommodate many people at once. staffed by a great group of people who obviously love what they do. will definitely be back often. read more

This is the best gym I've been to in my 5 years in the Bay Area. Taylor has gone above and beyond to make me feel welcome, and took the time to walk through what membership package would work best for me. In addition, he has made improvements that really set The Weight Room apart from the other gyms I've tried: since I started here, Taylor introduced the 24/7 GymPass option, which lets me get my workouts in whenever works best for me. The equipment is in great shape, and the trainers are all super friendly. I look forward to being a longtime member here. Thanks Taylor! read more

This is hands down the best gym I've ever been to! The owners are super cool and Kelsey is the best trainer I've ever worked out with. She's very motivating and encouraging. Definitely recommend this gym to any and everyone! read more

This is a great little neighborhood gym. Taylor is the best! He's super nice but still really pushes me every time I train with him. It's a good place for free weights. Several benches, two squat racks, dumbbells. There are also a couple of cable machines, TRX, several bikes and treadmills, and open space. Everything I would ever need. The clientele is good too, nobody is obnoxious or anything. It isn't overcrowded. I've made a lot of progress powerlifting with Taylor in the few months of personal training I've done with. I am not a morning person at all, but I even recently started going in at 7 AM. So yeah, I recommend. read more
