Isaac took the time to understand how my digestive health issues were impacting my fitness and referred me to a functional medicine practitioner.

Isaac has been a fantastic personal trainer. As an athlete himself, he really understands how to…read morecustomize training based on individual goals. He's helped me make steady, sustainable progress -- I've lost a few pounds of body fat, built strength with heavier weights, and feel better overall without making huge, unrealistic changes. He's also been guiding me with nutrition, focusing on simple adjustments that actually work long-term. If you're looking for a trainer who's knowledgeable, supportive, practical, and genuinely helps you achieve the results you want, I'd definitely recommend Isaac!

This review of All in One Fitness and personal trainer Diane is very overdue - sorry Diane! My wife…read moreand I signed up for a series of "buddy" personal training sessions over 8 weeks starting in January 2025. It was an overwhelmingly positive experience. The Gym: the facility is small but clean, and the patrons range in age and fitness levels. Everyone is very welcoming and understanding of the sometimes tight quarters that can take place in a smaller place, and they do their best to keep out of the way or allow others to pass. It's a great place and I enjoyed it a lot. The Trainer: Diane is amazing!!! My wife and I wanted to learn how to safely carry out weight training with dumbbells and a variety of other equipment as we're getting to the age where it's important to maintain our muscle mass. Diane did a great job developing a program that we felt like we could tackle, and over the course of eight weeks we saw massive improvements in strength and balance. She's also very sweet and fun to hang out with as you sweat your way through your hour. We highly recommend her!!

I'm 74, and have never been as…read morefit as I should be, but I got into really bad condition during the pandemic, way too much sitting. I started having severe back pain and found that walking with hiking poles helped this. I thought it was due to my spinal curvature (but it turns out it was due to weakened muscles!). I used to be a member of the Berkeley YMCA, but didn't like it as much when I returned after the pandemic, with the women's fitness center gone. So I was mainly walking at the Marina. But last summer I had 2 falls there, both stupid things, tripping on my pole and on the edge of a raised surface. The second fall caused a fracture in my ring finger and I had to get my wedding rings cut off, as they quickly became tourniquets on my swollen finger. So I decided to look for another gym, where I could hold on to the handles on the treadmill. I asked my kids for recommendations. One of them mentioned All in One Fitness in Albany, a few blocks from his house, where he'd seen a sign welcoming people over 40. So I went and checked it out, and this is what I found: To start, it's easy to get to from my West Berkeley home, easy free parking, comfortable and friendly atmosphere, wonderful and friendly trainers, all the equipment one could need in a small space. My trainer, Diane, who is also the manager, is not only excellent as a trainer, but her enthusiasm and support has been really been encouraging. I feel comfortable there with everyone; I don't feel out of place at all. This place, and in particular Diane, my trainer, has truly changed my life! Diane said at the beginning that she wanted to make it fun for me to come to the gym. I thought, "Oh, right!" (in a skeptical, eyeball rolling way). But it happened - it is fun! And I feel so much better! And I can walk without my poles and carry grocery bags! I have personal training twice a week, which has been wonderful for learning new things and keeping up the variety and fun. I have so many things I can do now, not just the treadmill and bicycle, and I can do them on my own between training days. I think it's been 5 months now, and I'm getting stronger and feeling so much better! As I said, it's changed my life! I highly recommend this gym!

I was looking to build strength and improve my technique and found both at Bay Strength. I also got…read morethe added bonus of increased confidence and community. I came to Bay Strength after many years of on and off weight training with self-coaching using primarily the Starting Strength book and video resources. My form was "good enough" that when I tried getting coaching at other gyms I was always disappointed because they would say, "looks good," although I knew I needed some fine tuning. At Bay Strength I did the "Learn to Lift" package and while my form actually was pretty good, Kelly had plenty of specific feedback to make it better. Then I joined Gwyn's weekly class and get programming based on my needs and goals, and valuable feedback in every session. I love the group coaching format because it allows for the coaches to provide more attention to people who need it but still give plenty of attention to people who need less. It's a super-efficient model that gives you access to a coach during your session but you don't end up paying for a coach to watch you warm up, after you've properly learned how. They can just focus their attention on your work sets. Then as things come up (i.e. technique, loading, programming questions, weird pains, etc.) it's great to be able to talk with an expert who can help. Aside from the expert coaching and high-quality equipment, there are two benefits I think are unique to Bay Strength: 1. Outdoor workouts: From a Covid19 perspective this is an extremely low risk environment, which is one reason I started here. I then grew to really enjoy lifting outside, especially during a rainstorm! 2. Inclusive community: I really like training with a group of people who are quite diverse, but all there for a similar purpose. I go to lift first, but it's great to have the social connection and support of other lifters without that "gym bro" vibe.

The coaches and community at Bay Strength are exceptional and unlike any strength training gym I've…read moreever visited. If you're looking for a welcoming, supportive, and diverse place to learn to lift, hone your technique, and build strength, this is the best place to do it. My partner and I have been lifting for about a year, but did the Learn to Lift sessions with Jeremy to ensure our lifting technique was sound and to learn how to continue getting stronger. Jeremy not only shared great form, technique, programming, and injury prevention tips, but also did so with enthusiasm and positivity that made every moment enjoyable. Whether you're new or experienced, Bay Strength is the place to BE.

It's a very small compact gym but it has all the essentials to get good workout. I start my workouts with either the treadmill or elliptical machines before doing strength training. They have all the necessary weights I need for a well balanced workout. They also have TRX setup as well. I love that this place is clean and very well maintained. The owner Dean was very nice demonstrating the machines when I enrolled. I was even able to get the WiFi details so I can stream my shows while I am warming up. As long as I have my key fob I can enter the gym. I've worked out as late as 11pm. I give this place an excellent rating. 5 stars!

This is about the horrendous management--whether it's LiveFit, Fairmont Hotel, or both. I've been coming here for years, and what was once a promising gym has become an ongoing disaster. On December 31st, after walking several miles in the rain because parking is a nightmare, I arrived only to find the sauna closed for cleaning at 9 AM--peak hour. No notice. No sign. No email. Just some guy with dirty boots in the spa area and tools spread out on seating where members usually sit--naked. They even offered me to go ahead and shower while they worked. Seriously. While someone's cleaning the sauna or sealing tiles? In the same enclosed area? With members naked and barefoot? And yes, I witnessed maintenance using the same towels we dry off with to clean their equipment. That's beyond disgusting. Two days before that, I was in the sauna while a worker was sealing tiles with harsh chemical fumes filling the air--no ventilation, no warning, and no way to leave without stepping on wet grout. I'm not exaggerating--this happens constantly. As for the steam room, it hasn't worked properly in 3-4 years. The classic line: "Fix is coming tomorrow." "Next week." Now it's "fixed"--but it's not even hot. Just damp and gross. I've stayed quiet for too long out of respect for the staff and hope that things would improve. But the truth is, management has shown zero respect for paying members who build their routines around this place. If you're staying at the Fairmont expecting a spa or luxury fitness experience--don't. This place is running on fumes and goodwill from overworked employees. The rest is neglect, poor planning, and complete disregard for member safety, hygiene, and experience.

Julian was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, sharing the history of Pilates and offering some great tips that made the experience even more enjoyable. The studio itself is clean, well-maintained, and has a welcoming atmosphere. There were only four of us in the intro class, which made it feel comfortable and personalized. Our instructor, Anne, was wonderful--encouraging, patient, and supportive throughout the session. Although I realized Pilates isn't for me, I'm so glad I gave it a try. I would absolutely give this studio a 10/10 for outstanding customer service, knowledgeable staff, cleanliness, and creating such a welcoming environment. I walked in with a smile on my face and left with one too. I highly recommend checking them out if you're interested in trying Pilates!

I was subsequently charged the following month even though I was advised I wouldn't be. I emailed and spoke with Umar on the phone who advised I would be refunded - but I never was. I ended up having to dispute the charge with my credit card. I've tried Club Pilates at several different locations and it's more expensive than other options like Bodybar Pilates. Pilates is a good option for those seeking to get back into working out or recovering from an injury. I would not recommend pilates in general for someone looking for a results driven workouts. Lagree is much more effective at toning muscles and there are options for studios in the Walnut Creek area.
