Ive tried Orangetheory, used to do yoga sculpt, went to the bay club, but nothing compares to my experience at F45. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to get stronger!

I was here for an intro class. From the moment I got there, I can tell it was already chaotic. The…read morefront desk was overwhelmed. There were 5 of us intro folks. The front desk was hopping between assisting members and giving us tours. Mind you I arrived 30 minutes early only for one of the front desk girls to get us started THREE minutes before the class was supposed to start. To top it all off they didn't mention what number I was so I went into the class not knowing where to start. In addition, they put me on a rower that didn't have an IPad connected to it so the instructor had to run and grab one. The moment she put it on and connected it my heart rate monitor wasn't connected. It was such a shit show and it wasn't the instructor's fault at all. The instructor actually tried really hard to calm me down and make sure I was setup. She was very nice so no complaints with her. I woke up early for this and literally wasted almost 45 minutes of my day. I literally walked out and gave the heart rate monitor back to the front desk. They could see I was distraught. It was just a complete disappointment and waste of time. There needs to be better training or more staff to help with the peak days and hours. My BIG feedback is to have one front desk person focus on the intro members and the other focus on current members. This whole ordeal made me not want to join Orangetheory at all. What's even worse is that I live like three blocks away and was hoping to find something within walking distance. The search continues.

I was a member of a now 7 Crossfit gyms because I had to move around a lot, so I've experienced a…read morevariety of coaching styles, communities, and facilities, and Crossfit San Carlos honestly tops all of them in every area. I've done CrossFit for 10+ years, and these coaches still find ways to correct and challenge me, which I greatly appreciate. I love their facility; this is the only gym that has an indoor sauna, ice bath room, offers towel service, supplies lifting belts, and has plenty of space for good-sized classes and even for those extra people working on mobility or anything else at the same time. What's unique about Crossfit San Carlos' facility is their green turf that allows us to do indoor sled pulls & pushes, handstand walking work, shuttle runs, etc. I truly appreciate that warm-ups are varied and not the same every day. The workouts are challenging and have given me results through sustainable progress. Since joining in Oct. 2024, I'm down 2 sizes from XL to Medium! For someone who works from home needing some good 'ole fun and giggles, the people and community are friendly and welcoming.

I've been training here, a large portion of my life, and I couldn't be happier. The coaches are…read moreabsolutely amazing, They are super knowledgeable, and have become great friends of mine over the years. Some of my closest friends have been made at this gym and will be a part of my life forever. The facility is amazing. It's so hard to find a gym that has what this gym offers: large open space, equipment, showers, etc. there are classes for everyone. If you want to get in shape and have fun, this is the place for you. You will love it!

I've attended 2 other CrossFit boxes in other states and this one has been my favorite so far! Even…read morethough I use much lighter weights than everyone else and usually do the scaled exercises, the coaches are attentive to my progress and my peers are supportive. CrossFit Burlingame has a very tight-knit community but I like to do my own thing and they are very respectful of that also. I don't feel pressured to join the events and feel equally valued as a non-social member so it's a very comfortable atmosphere. Both the coaching staff and the members reflect the diversity of the area and I feel like I fit in. In terms of the pandemic, I appreciate that they have set up an outdoor exercise area in the parking lot with safety measures like temperature checks and mandatory hand-washing and equipment-wiping. They changed the online class signup system to limit class sizes and also allow for mobile self-check-in to further protect each person and minimize risk. I feel very lucky that I have an outdoor exercise option during the pandemic!

I wanted to give CrossFit Burlingame a fair shot, but after a few months, the logistics and the…read moreenvironment just aren't working for me. I honestly dread coming here. For $300 per month, save your money and go somewhere else. You've been warned. The Good: The onboarding process was seamless, and they are highly responsive via text when you are first signing up to learn more. The workouts themselves are solid if you like Mayhem programming.(lots of cardio) the programming doesn't lend itself well to being able to scale handstand pushups or overhead squat where I have seen other boxes have better scaling options for these. The Not-So-Good: The Commute & Parking: Getting here is stressful. The streets leading to the gym are incredibly narrow, and people tend to speed through them (I've actually had a couple of close calls/accidents). Parking is strictly street/residential and very crowded; I've had to park a 15-minute walk away before. I came 39 mins early once and there was still no parking to be found and just gave up and went home. For $300 per month this is insane. People filming: Fitness influencers do not blur your face when filming themselves. Some fitness influencers consistently film themselves and don't ask if they can blur your face if you're in their frame. I think that's just common courtesy. Or else you yourself need to accommodate and move yourself out of their frame. Big box gyms do a better job enforcing this. Limit on class signups: they max each class at 28-30 signups and there's really no limit but the gym can comfortably handle 16-19 people. There's not even enough space in the gym for 28. One time there were so many people some people had to leave and couldn't even fit. Some people come in 15 mins late and crowd the back and there's just chaos and safety issues when there are 28 people in the gym or more. Some people also don't signup. Atmosphere: It feels a bit unwelcoming and feels very chaotic and disorganized. Coaches just run the class without much personal interaction. In my months here, no coach has ever introduced themselves to me. Cleanliness: The facility needs maintenance. The bathroom is frequently out of order, and the floors leave a heavy black residue on your hands during floor movements. Cancellation: Be aware that the cancellation form is pretty buried on their site, and getting a response via email might never happen. It's almost impossible to cancel or get a response about cancellation. It's a decent place if you just want to put your head down and workout, but keep the parking, cleanliness, and hands-off coaching style in mind before joining. Not all workouts are posted on app: some of the classes's workouts like workshop or power building are not posted so you're gonna be in for a surprise if you sign up for those.

I began with Melissa…read morein the spring after an injury, hoping to keep moving while rehabilitating, and what I've gotten is so much more. I used to be a HIIT class die-hard, but I will never return to that way of working out after experiencing the thoughtful and totally transformative approach at Opex. Melissa is brilliant and dedicated, she has been more knowledgeable than the PT's I've seen for my injury, she understands the needs of a mom returning to exercise postpartum, and she has helped transform my body -- I am leaner and stronger than I have ever been, even after years of personal training in the past. She has made me feel so cared for as she creates workout plans with meaningful challenges and serious attention to my individual needs. Both she and Josh are warm, attentive to form, and are passionate about helping members get stronger sustainably. Having worked out at many different gyms in the past, I can confidently say, Opex Kura is one of a kind.

I've been working out at OPEX Kura with Melissa as my coach since early June of this year and…read morereally love the format: personal trainer, floor coaches, working sessions, monthly check-ins. But I was most pleased to find a reasonably diverse group of gym goers: good number of female clients and some variety of ages and sizes. I (65F, overweight, very self conscious) thought I would hate weight/strength training and the whole going-to-the-gym thing, but I don't. I've come to enjoy my sessions and how I feel physically after a workout. I give Melissa a lot of credit for that and am expecting to continue for the long term.

I cannot say enough amazing things about HOTWORX in Belmont! From the moment I walked in, I felt…read morewelcomed and genuinely cared for and a huge part of that experience was because of Neil L. HOTWORX being open 24 hours is honestly a game changer. My schedule can get busy, and having the flexibility to book sessions whenever it works for me has made it so much easier to stay consistent. The concept of infrared sauna workouts is something you truly have to experience to understand. You're in a private sauna room choosing from multiple guided sessions, everything from yoga and Pilates to high-intensity interval training (HIIT). No matter which workout I choose, I leave drenched in sweat but in the best way possible. What really stands out is how I feel afterward. Instead of feeling completely drained like some traditional workouts, I feel relaxed, lighter, and almost reset. The infrared heat helps reduce soreness, speeds up recovery, and gives you that detox feeling that makes your body feel refreshed from the inside out. It's the perfect combination of intense and therapeutic. Now let me talk about Neil L. phenomenal doesn't even begin to describe him. He took the time to personally show us around, explain how each session works, and break down how to maximize results. He wasn't just giving a tour; he was educating us. He shared tips on how to structure workouts, how to stay consistent, and how to really push ourselves while still listening to our bodies. His encouragement genuinely motivates you to try your best. What I also appreciated was how knowledgeable he is about their products. He doesn't "sell" you he explains how everything supports your goals. From supplements to recovery tools, he connects it all back to performance and consistency, which honestly makes you want to invest in yourself and keep showing up. The atmosphere at HOTWORX Belmont is clean, modern, and empowering. You feel like you're part of something focused on growth and wellness. If you're looking for a workout that makes you sweat, detox, recover faster, and actually feel good afterward this is it. Highly recommend HOTWORX Belmont and especially Neil L. for the outstanding customer care and support!

She's been my trainer since 2023, and my health has never been better. She's Hawaiian sunshine in human form, always upbeat, which definitely helps at 7 a.m. Her happy-go-lucky energy is so constant I can't decide if she's my trainer or just a very cheerful Energizer Bunny in disguise. She's also dedicated, always learning the latest fitness research to fine-tune my workouts. She helped me get stronger, and now we're tackling weight loss. But don't think it's all serious science--sessions with her are also comedy shows. She'll get distracted, lose count of my reps (always when they're the hardest ), and then showers me with a nonstop chorus of "Good job! Good job!" until I finally give her the side-eyes . But here's the thing: even with the chaos, Chermayne knows exactly what she's doing. She motivates me, keeps me accountable, and somehow makes sweating buckets feel fun. If you want a trainer who'll push you, cheer you on, occasionally forget what number you're on, and still make every workout the highlight of your day--Chermayne's your girl.

This studio looked great and was well-reviewed, so I became a longtime client and even prepaid for a package of classes. One day the studio was very cold -- Parkinson's makes it hard for me to regulate my body temperature -- so I closed the door. I was the only client working out at the time. Moments later, a man violently slammed the door back open in my face. No explanation, no apology. I later learned he was the owner. We adore our trainer, who went above and beyond to help, even arranging a meeting with the owner to address what happened. Instead of apologizing, the owner insisted I had violated the rules. All it would have taken was, "We keep the door open here -- please leave it, and let us know if you're cold." Instead, he doubled down. I trusted this studio with my health and my money. Take yours elsewhere.
