It was our first time doing Pilates in general and we enjoyed our experience at this place. Everyone was warm and welcoming and our instructor was hands on and helped guide us through our first day, explaining certain vocabulary and making sure our springs and form were correct. My best friend and I loved it and I wish I could come here more often if it were closer to me but we both are coming back when we have availability in our schedule!

I really enjoy working out at Legacy Athletic Center. The facility is always clean,…read morewell-maintained, and offers a great variety of classes, which keeps things interesting and motivating. That said, the membership pricing has steadily increased over time. When I first joined, unlimited classes were around $180, but now it's approaching $300 for essentially the same access. It's also become increasingly difficult to secure spots in popular classes like Pilates and Ride, which can be frustrating given the higher cost. While it's undeniably a beautiful and high-quality gym, it's no longer what I would consider affordable. The rising prices are starting to make it less accessible and seem to be pushing out those who aren't in a higher income bracket.

I've been coming to this gym for a few months now, and I'm so glad I found Excel Health and…read moreFitness. What really sets this gym apart from others I've been to is how involved and supportive the coaches are. From day one, they made me feel welcome and encouraged. They take the time to explain the exercises, make sure you're doing them correctly, and truly help you get the most out of each workout. One extra touch that really stands out is how involved the owner, Danny, is. He actually takes the time to check in with you, see how things are going, and make sure you're feeling supported. Even the motivating emails make a difference -- they help keep you accountable and remind you why you're showing up in the first place. This gym feels less like a place you just work out and more like a community that actually cares about your progress. Highly recommend if you're looking for encouragement, guidance, and a place that genuinely wants to see you succeed.

I was recently reminded that I've been a member at Excel for seven years now- crazy how time flies!…read moreI first joined this gym to train with the competitive athletes but was surprised by how much I fell in love with the gym and its incredibly positive and uplifting community. Community is a big deal here, and building it is one of the main focuses of the gym. The coaches are also great at providing knowledgeable/personalized feedback. I know people are hesitant to invest in a CrossFit membership ($$) but coming from someone who's paid for multiple gym memberships and barely used them, this one is definitely worth it. The value is in having a whole community help push you towards your fitness goals. So many days I didn't feel like training but then started working out with friends and all of a sudden, it's like you're playing a game. Everyone is beyond friendly here and finding people willing to suffer through a WOD with you is pretty easy. If you want to have fun and improve your health and fitness in the process, I'd definitely recommend Excel for you.

I just started chemotherapy and can already feel the toll it's taking on my body. Emily listened to me and was ready for our session based on my responses. Not only that, but she was flexible and adjusted what we were doing based on what she heard from me and saw. I left not only feeling better in my body, but with a positivity that will carry me through. I look forward to continued yoga practice with Emily.

Emily is a master of building a focused intensity, but one that is wise, gentle and warm at the same time. There is a deep calm and settling into one self. Emily's might be the most meditative classes I have experienced. Same with her teaching style: direct and to the point, yet expansive and soft. At the end of each class, I left feeling totally at peace with myself and the world. Manteca has received quite a treasure!

I would 1000% recommend doing one-on-one training sessions--it's the best money I've ever spent on myself. Thanks to our workouts, I had an incredibly easy delivery and post-partum recovery. Tal radiates positive energy! She kept me smiling, fit, motivated, and--most importantly--SAFE throughout my pregnancy. Her workouts were not only fun but also incorporate many moves that can actually be used during labor. She was always in-tune to my needs and would adapt her routines--even mid-workout--to make sure I was safe and pain-free. I also loved that she emphasized important foundations (e.g. proper breathing technique, connecting breath to core and pelvic floor, safe ways to get in/out of bed, ways to avoid diastasis recti, etc). I continue to use those skills daily. Not only is Tal a mama herself, she has years of experience as a specialized prenatal/post-partum personal trainer. She even stays up-to-date with ACOG recommendations and takes refresher maternal health courses. As a physician, I was impressed with the depth of her knowledge. If you train with her, you get access to her Strong Mama Fitness online for free--another incredible resource. Although she is no longer local in the Bay Area, she is available for 1-on-1 virtual training via Zoom. Our virtual sessions were super convenient, all without sacrificing quality. I can't recommend Tal enough!

There are a couple that need replacement, but all good. The type of care of the machines are over all in great shape. They do make sure that their members do take care of the machines. The only place where I would give it four stars are for the cardio equipment. The bike felt a little awkward to use, the treadmill was a bit high to get onto with people who have knee problems. The best was the elliptical. Front desk, super friendly. Paco really helped me out when I needed help with the sauna and steam room. Love this gym
