The best. I learned of Volofit on Instagram and the decision to stop in, sign up and challenge myself is one of the best decisions I have ever made. Equipment, classes, support, CHILL - perfect spot to bring it, work it, do it. GO. read more

I was introduced to Volofit by attending a Yelp Event last year. The classes were engaging, and lasts about 50 minutes. Usually, you would learn about the different exercises for the day. Sometimes, it might be a marathon of exercises to reach a certain goal. Then, there small rounds of stretches before we head to rotate through up to 6 stations. Afterwards, we do another round of cool down stretches. Last year, I was told that the topic of the day will be unknown until you show up. However, things improved drastically and we've been getting e-mail in the beginning of the week so that we know what we are focusing on for the day (back, upper strength, total fitness, legs, glutes, etc). I like that this place gave me the confidence to try different exercises. It was the place I do anything ropes (and bands). read more

Volofit is is a group class and consists of HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts led by a coach/an instructor. There is a private parking garage off to the side as well, so it saves you time from finding/looking for parking. The workouts are different and varies from station to station, you rotate with 2 - 3 people at each station at one time after the timer goes off. The workouts focus on agility, endurance, power, and strength. read more

The circuit workout and technology is cool. I wish the hours of operation were more flexible...I can barely fit in time for the gym because it doesn't stay open late enough. read more

I recently moved to Oakland and saw Laura and the Volofit booth at the Jack London Farmers market. I'd been looking for a gym in the area and saw that they had their free two-day trial so I checked it out. WOOO! Man these classes are awesome. They WILL kick your butt and you WILL be drenched in sweat but you are going to get an awesome workout every, single time. All of the staff are welcoming and helpful and the facility is pristine! They have a lot of different equipment and a very cool station-based workout, that will always switch it up on you. They demonstrate everything and provide modifications if you need, plus they have screens throughout the workouts showing you exactly what to do. I highly recommend Volofit to anyone looking for an awesome workout and a great way to support a local business!! read more

I really enjoyed the two classes I took at Volofit. They were challenging, but offered a good variety of exercises to keep it interesting throughout. The instructors were very friendly and helpful. They would give tips and pointers in an encouraging and supportive way. The physical space was great too. There was plenty of room to workout at each station without feeling crowded, and the space has a modern and sleek feel to it. I'll definitely be back for more HIIT classes. read more

The workout may want you to throw up, but the minutes and work you put in have you walking out prouder and stronger than when you came in. Great staff, motivational environment. Coach Michael definitely pushes you to test your limits. Signing up for membership is an easy process and they even have an app for scheduling classes and tracking workouts. read more

Volofit Oakland Uptown - Gyms Near Me - Oakland, California

I started Volofit almost a month ago as a means to get back in shape and rid my body of these extra Covid pounds I put on during the pandemic. I was reluctant to try it because I have several issues that require special attention from a professional. This place in a short time has changed my life. I almost look forward to my workouts, but am definitely looking forward to the end result. I've already lost a noticeable amount of weight and a couple of inches off my waist. Laura (the owner), Davis and Alex all give me that attention necessary to keep me motivated and feeling like I can do it. The membership allows unlimited access, personalized meal plans, weekly weigh in, and so much more. I highly recommend Volofit read more

Fantastic workout and program. I do the 50 minute workout at 6am and the way they switch up the routine makes it go fast and before you know it 50 mins are up. Clear instructions and with their trainers they make sure you're doing the program correctly. Check 'em out for an alternative to the old school gyms! read more

Not sure why I haven't written a review until now! I've been with these guys since the beginning (December 2019 or so, before they even opened up a physical space and were only doing workouts in the park.) Since then, they've moved studios, have staffing changes, and dealt with a million different COVID rules, but some things are consistent - good coaches, fun workouts, and a caring, supportive owner (Laura). I can't imagine operating a gym during the pandemic, but Laura and the team do their best to keep members safe and healthy. Everyone is wonderful, but if you're new I would recommend going to Alex's class because he really tries to get to know each person and push them to do their best. Also, I love his often pop-punk infused playlists. Unlike Les Mills, where you get a new routine and stick with it for a few weeks, Volofit changes workouts every day! If you hated the workout, I've got good news - you probably never have to see it again. It's a great way to change things up and never be bored. I have only minor cons. There are a lot of movements that involve being on your knees, but the floor is pretty hard and they don't provide any mats. I would recommend they invest in some small mats for those kind of exercises. Also, for the price, I would expect it to have a towel service like many gyms I have been to, but this may be something they will do in the future when COVID is less of an issue (fingers crossed). My final issue is that they never announce in advance what focus the workout will be (upper body, lower body, strength, agility, etc). Sometimes it's nice to be surprised, but I like to keep myself balanced so I'd prefer not to attend only upper-body workouts the entire week on accident because I didn't know what I was signing up for. Almost everyone can find something to like about this place. They're currently offering a two-day free trial, so what do you really have to lose by giving it a try? read more

This HIIT workout studio in Oakland is a must visit if you are in the market for a good workout and a great calorie burn. I tried this studio for a week long trial and was hooked - the entire experience was super easy. They have an app you can book classes at online, see who is training and cancel per your convenience. The staff are super helpful and supported me via texts before my first class. I was sent a video of how to park and enter the studio since the building was going through the construction - it was super helpful to find my way around. Parking was free and easily accessible from the studio. The classes and the trainers are what sets this studio apart with some of the most calorie burning workouts I have ever done. They have equipment and sequences for each that you do at each station before you move. These are easy to follow along and they have guided screens to help along as well. The trainers do the demo and step in as needed to help your form. The classes are not super crowded and the equipment is very well spaced out. The studio is super clean and they have cubbies for all your belongings, restrooms if you need a quick change and water refilling stations. They also have a nutrition program if you are looking for a gym and nutrition combo package. This gym was opened during the pandemic and just reopened recently. Definitely check out this studio if you are in Oakland and support a great local business! read more

Truly such a gem! I couldn't love this place more. It has a nice community who is super welcoming. Laura (owner) is a sweetheart. You can see the intentionality she has put behind her business.

Great and supportive community, solid and energetic instructors and awesome and challenging work outs -- what more could you ask for!?

I started going here last week and I have to say what an ass-kicker the workouts here are! What I love and thoroughly enjoy about this place is the friendly demeanor, the very supportive trainers (shout out to Alex and Michael!), the welcoming front desk staff, and the convenient hours they offer! The other members are very friendly and supportive, creating a really inclusive community for all of us who are just getting (back) into the routine! This is a solid choice if you're looking for a place to work out in for sure! read more

Laura and crew at Volofit are all in for there trainees. I'm not a person to answer the call on Facebook promos, but Laura at Volofit caught me at a time in my life when I needed to start my reclamation project. The lockdown wreaked havoc on me. I was one of those that finished all the snacks in the house before noon. It was time, so I took the call and went to see Laura. Best decision ever. Answering the 6-week challenge was just what I needed to kick start where I needed to go. 20+lbs and still going. If you need someone to guide you through a fitness program I whole heartily recommend Volofit! read more

I've been going to TMB for about 3 months now and stand by my original review.

I just survived my first Tough Mudder because of Volofit and I can't rave about them enough. Workouts change everyday and vary between strength and endurance. I haven't tried this type of circuit training before but I love it. Laura and her team truly care and check in regularly. Shout out to Alex as a trainer and Enrique at the front. Their genuine kindness adds to the experience. read more

I signed up for Volofit initially on a trial basis after speaking to representatives who had a booth at a half marathon race two months ago. Now I attend classes two times a week. I am enjoying the variety of coaches and their different workout options-never a dull moment. I definitely feel functionally stronger with my day to day activities, and the classes push me to take that extra step/rep that I know I would not take if working out on my own. read more

I highly recommend the classes at Volofit! The staff and instructors are all very upbeat, positive, friendly and motivating. The workouts are fun and they go by fast. I hadn't worked out in a long time before taking a class at Volofit, and I felt very comfortable there. You really break a sweat and feel great afterwards. Thanks, Volofit Oakland Uptown! read more
