The coaches are friendly and amazing. The class sizes are pretty small (10 max) so you get more space and attention. And the studio is clean and beautiful. I love YuBalance!

I have been attending this F45 location for almost a year, and among all the options on Class Pass,…read moreF45 has been the most approachable. The model of having the screens showing the exercises, the demo from the instructors at the beginning, and their coaching during the class make this a worthwhile exercise. While the routines here don't feel as intense as the Burkingame location, you absolutely will get a workout. And any class with Dionne or JR will be a great time. Showers, changing rooms, 2 bathrooms, water filling station, lockers (bring your own locks) all available. San Bruno parking has an awful system and aggressive enforcement, so don't forget to pay.

I've been going to F45 on the unlimited pass since last November. I used to do Orangetheory…read more(founding member at San Mateo), spin/TRX at Wheelhouse, Pure Barre, boot camps, and personal training--so I've tried it all. F45 gives me a great mix of similar HIIT-style workouts, but in a more fun, community-driven, and cost-effective format. I love that there are separate cardio and strength days--it keeps things balanced and never boring. Compared to OTF, F45 feels more well-rounded. I do sometimes miss machines, so I'll take a day or two to hit the gym, but F45 is my main workout. This location is conveniently located close to 280/101. It's spacious, clean, the equipment is well maintained and the coaches are always upbeat and supportive. The unlimited pass is also flexible and lets you visit other studios which is convenient when I'm running late from work or traveling. I've checked out F45 in SF, San Mateo, Burlingame, Pittsburgh, and Newport Beach Highly recommend if you want variety, structure, and a strong fitness community.

I had a few moments to sit in her garden under the sun and ground before our session. I loved that thoughtful touch. I was pleasantly surprised that I was able fall into such a deep relaxed state, as it is not always easy for me with new providers, but Arula was amazing at setting the energy and helping me to feel safe under her guidance. I felt very protected and you can feel how knowledgeable she is in creating this healing environment. I booked another session and am looking forward to going back regularly.

No frills, no nonsense gym that has everything you need to get a good workout in…read more After moving back to San Francisco in the middle of last year I was looking for a gym that was more local/ in my neighborhood that I could walk to rather than taking public transit to another part of the city. That's when I came across the Sunset Gym this past December. I started my membership with a week long pass and eventually converted it to a monthly membership. (The payment for the week pass went into my first month of membership) Pricing wise this place is a very reasonable compared to the bigger chains (i.e Fitness SF), but admittedly you are also restricted to one location. For me though, that's not a problem as I wanted a neighborhood gym more than anything. The gym itself is great - it's old school (think OG Gold's Gym style). Downstairs has plenty of free weights and a good selection of machines. Upstairs has a dedicated Cardio area, a spot for stretching, as well as additional free-weights and an outdoor area. Staff I've interacted with so far have been wonderful. Very glad to have found a great gym close by to where I live

There is nothing like a local neighborhood gym, where everybody knows your name (just kidding, but…read moreyou all start to recognize each other if you are a morning, midday or evening gym-goer for sure), with friendly staff and equipment that may not be the latest and greatest, but it's familiar, it works, people take care of the machines and weights and wipe them down with the many spray bottles and paper towel stations, and there seems to be one of everything you could ever want. Definitely a transit-first or walk-from-your-home-type gym, 9th and Irving is not known for its parking (though it IS known for it's ever-present MTA carts zipping around). Love the towels, the multiple bathrooms and showers, the fans everywhere, and the small outdoor area on the second floor.

Last Saturday, I brought my 3 year old son into the women's locker room to use the bathroom…read more There's a vanity area where women get ready, however there was an older man just sitting there, watching the women get ready, completely naked. I went over to the front desk and told them there was a naked man in the women's locker room just sitting there, watching everyone and he responded that they are legally not allowed to remove him. Please educate me because this doesn't seem right. I told them I usually let my 11 year old daughter go to the bathroom herself and I don't feel like it's safe and yet, YMCA did nothing. I was at the YMCA because my daughter had a game. After her game, I checked the women's locker room (about an hour after I took my son to the bathroom) and the naked man was still there, sitting there and putting lotion on his body. This is not okay. Please be careful everyone, especially those with children.

Extremely disappointed by the accessibility practices here. A YMCA towel truck was parked and…read moreunloading large crates of towels directly in the designated handicap parking space. We waited and politely asked them to move so we could park, but they refused. When we brought this to the attention of YMCA staff, they defended the truck and dismissed our concerns. Accessible parking spaces are legally restricted exclusively to vehicles displaying a valid disabled person placard, and standard delivery vehicles are prohibited from using them. Keeping these spots clear for qualified users is a fundamental accessibility requirement. Since the YMCA staff refused to address this, I plan on reporting this location's vehicle code and ADA compliance violations to the proper local officials.

Located off the 280 at Junipero Serra & Washington. There's a variety of parking. There is a…read morecovered 'parking structure' with less than two dozen spots to keep you out of the rain. It can be confusing as to where the entrance to it is. I came here while visiting during Superbowl week. The gym is big, 2.5 floors. Cardio machines are scattered throughout. The free weights are scattered between two areas (lighter and heavier). You could feel the cold from the outside seeping into the gym all the days I visited. Based on the size of the gym another setup of cable machines should be added. It is a tight fit in that area. Large locker room. Showers do not have any soap dispensers so be sure to bring your own. Each PF choose to provide it or do not, this one does not. Many people choose to use the bathroom stalls as changing rooms, forcing patrons that actually need to use the stall for what they are intended for to wait. One stall actually does not have a toilet in it. There are signs in the gym that ask patrons to be mindful of their time on equipment which is great. Unfortunately, there are no signs stating patrons should be listening to music with headphones. Each day I came in, a gentleman was playing his music loud from his phone and singing along. When asked for him to turn it down and also off, he rolled his eyes. The facility is clean. Staff is hit or miss upon check-in. One didn't even look up from his book when I walked up in the morning.
