I use to think I was working out until I actually started personal training with Pete. He has helped me build a solid foundation and taught me what training really means. My confidence has blossomed, and I love the community here that cheers and supports each other. This is really the third place I never knew I needed. Team Tufunga has hosted socials, Halloween parties, etc. This gym is truly like no other. If you were on the fence about signing up, this is your sign to become a member. Come in and ask for Pete. He's super helpful and will be able to answer any questions. But I'm telling you, you really won't regret it!! Team Tufunga is truly life changing.

The five stars are so well deserved!…read more My friend frequents with Plank + Power so I decided to purchase a single course. I took the course with Coach Liz who is seriously such an incredible instructor. I really appreciated that she took some time to help me understand the reformers, and covered a few things we'd work on before course started. This was helpful as I had a strain that I was recovering from. It was enough to pull through a class that I so desperately needed because *mental wellness* is important! I really enjoyed her workout because it was a total body workout, but there was an emphasis on arms which I REALLY loved. Other classes I have of course have arm workouts incorporated with lunges and such, but she was able to do that AND have just a focal point on arms. It was a GREAT work out! Her enthusiasm in the class is so infectious and the class community was warm. Forgive me as the desk attendants name, but she was also very courteous and helpful. What a wonderful person to greet students in. Plank + Power is very lucky to have a great team. I would encourage anyone who wants a solid workout to try it out here. I hope to be back whenever my schedule allows!

I have been doing reformer Pilates since about 2012 and this place is legit! I am truly humbled each class, haha! One of my favorite things about this place is also the community that has been built - looking around and seeing all the regulars (and new faces!) in my classes is so fun - it really feels like a 3rd space. The merch is adorable, and I can't help but pick up new socks when they get a re-stock! I can't wait to try the mat Pilates classes and see the upcoming Berkeley location!

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.

I've had such a beautiful experience with Move With Studio…read more I began with a private session, and it shifted the way I relate to movement in such a grounded, supportive way. There's a level of presence and care from the instructors that you can feel right away. You're guided with attention and intention, so you feel both safe and gently encouraged to expand. Moving into the group classes felt really natural. Each class meets me where I am while also inviting me forward. There's a quiet strength in the space. It's welcoming, thoughtfully held, and allows you to turn inward while still feeling connected. I've also been pairing the classes with FST sessions, and that combination has been incredibly supportive. The stretching helps release what the body has been holding, opens up mobility, and brings me back into a sense of balance. It's a space that genuinely supports your growth, not just physically, but as a whole. Whether you're just beginning or have an established practice, there's something here that meets you and helps you deepen.

I've been going to Move With Studio since 2024 and truly can't recommend it enough. The classes are…read moresmall and intimate, which makes such a difference in the overall experience and level of attention you receive. Every instructor is incredibly knowledgeable, easy to understand, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. I joined as a complete novice never having taken Pilates before and I felt so welcomed and at ease from the start. The instructors are extremely detailed and make the smallest adjustments while explaining movements so clearly. Proper form is such a priority here, which made me feel safe and supported throughout my entire pregnancy. I continued attending classes through pregnancy and attribute a lot of my quick and easy delivery to the classes I've been taking here. Now I'm continuing my postpartum journey with them and feel just as supported as ever. Such an amazing studio and community!

I have a lot of mechanical issues with my body, and she tunes my ass up. IN THE BEST WAY POSSIBLE. She has trained me through bilateral rotator cuff injuries, SI Joint dysfunction, trigger points, and all kinds of injuries from falling on ice, snow, and the Market St Tour de FU. She always puts me back together to make me stronger than I was when I started. Haley is amazingly knowledgeable about anatomy and how the body works. She is patient and kind and funny, and she always brings me back to a positive place of love for this body that carries me through life. I appreciate VERY MUCH that she is body positive and focused on functional strength and athletic goals - not appearance or weight loss.

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've been meaning to write this for a while, but life has been busy. 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!

The gym is very welcoming to newcomers and all types of people. It is always clean and the mats are disinfected multiply times a day and always before BJJ class which I appreciate. Overall I think this gym is great place to learn and train Muay Thai and BJJ for self defense and enjoyment.
