After months of contemplating if personal training was worth the investment, my partner and I…read morestarted 2x week joint training sessions with Jason and have honestly never looked back. Jason structured our trainings around our personal fitness goals and is an excellent (and patient) teacher -- within just a few sessions, I was confident with workouts I never thought I could be capable of. Instead of a tiny confined area in the middle of a loud chaotic gym at a big box chain, I got to end my workdays at a private training studio seeing the same familiar faces each week. Jason is flexible with scheduling and is overall a great person to spend 2 hours/week with. (Shoutout to him making it a point to watch Physical 100 just so we could talk about new episodes during our sessions!) For anyone looking to get into training & prioritize your wellness, Jason is your guy!

I would highly recommend the company and equipment services!

The facility is very clean and so far I have only seen a few machines out of order, which is expected at any commercial facility. With everything being new and lubed up, it's easy to get a good full body workout. The gym goers here are chill from my experience and it's easy to work in if there's a wait. I wish Pf had some heavier mini barbells since they don't offer any barbells whatsoever but I guess that's part of their model. The front desk staff are super friendly but not intrusively so which I appreciate. I also notice them making serious efforts here to keep the place clean and dust free which I really appreciate. Every time I look up someone is cleaning, emptying trash bins and refilling paper towels. I will probably get my own membership at some point so I can use the tanning beds because guests aren't allowed but for now I'll stay pale and freeload. I REALLY wish they had barbells, but everything else is great.

The place is pretty small but so far the staff are nice and helpful. Nothing bad to say about this gym. I think they could use heavier free weights though. Parking can be a headache but you should be able to find a parking spot because the turn over on people leaving the lot is pretty good.

I recently began working with John Zhang in the Sunset Districtand he is exactly what I was looking…read morefor. John is calm, precise, and encouraging without being over the top. He carefully fine-tunes movements and adjusts positioning on the spot, which is so helpful for a beginner like me. I was so pleased with John that I asked whether he'd be willing to work with my 21 year old son, who is autistic and nonspeaking. John agreed, and he was wonderful with my son. Patient and direct, and he made thoughtful adaptations based on what my son was able to do in the moment. I look forward to continuing to work with John and having him as part of my son's routine as well. He's everything you could ask for in a personal trainer, and we feel lucky to have found him.

This is my first time working with a personal trainer after being a class goer for many years, and…read moreI highly recommend John. What I was looking for in a trainer is someone who would help me with form and to go heavier. He makes small tweaks that make a big difference and asks if you can go a little further without being intense. He listens to you and is thoughtful about work out plans to help you reach your goals. His work outs also incorporated stretches I'd never learned before. He is easy to talk to and makes you feel comfortable and confident while working out!

Remodel FOR THE WIN! I almost don't want to leave this review because people should experience the…read moresame awe and wonder I got to yesterday at the reopening, but this place deserves all the stars. I have been a member here for 8+ years. I check in between 4-5x / week. Not only is the place IMMACULATE from literally the freshly painted ceiling to the new floors but they now offer elite equipment and body building machines from brands like Skelecore and Nautilus. They also still have a good amount of the previous hoist machines. Even with all the new equipment the place somehow feels bigger. The spacing is very well done and the flow from entry to the floor is well organized. In addition to the absolutely beautiful cleaning and maintenance, ALL machines are now in working order. There are new hip thrust machines, really nice new machines for back and chest, and the stand out is the epic leg day palace. What was once the basketball court has been converted into a literally haven of RACKS! If you have ever hit this gym during rush hour on a Tuesday you know getting a rack was sometimes a 30-45 minute wait. No more my friends! Racks on racks on racks. They also got a couple new leg presses and tons of new accessory machines. This gym has everything I personally need to hit all body parts and cardio for my split. The weights are varied. There are squat racks and platforms for training Olympic lifts as well as racks with safety cages. There are dumbbells up to 125lbs, cables, treadmills, stair masters, ellipticals and bikes. The group X room is open except during classes. I've tried a few classes here my favorite is Zumba with Maritza. I usually just check the App for the schedule. The pool area is basic and pretty much still the same except a lot cleaner now. There's a sauna and a steam room and a two lane pool. The bathrooms are as clean as you would expect a busy gym bathroom to be. And ten times cleaner than before. A lot of the staff have been here for years and years which speaks volumes. Everyone I have spoken to is friendly and helpful. Shout out to Salde and Sandra who are the best. The manager Francisco has been here since I can remember, is always kind and is very friendly. A couple years ago a better deal than I had been paying for came up and Francisco suggested I let my current membership expire or however it works and I got the yearly for a better price. He is always looking out for members and does his best to hold the ones who don't pick up after themselves accountable. Now that this place is spotless, it will mean that people who workout here MUST take care of the space better! I totally think it's possible but I'm also prepared to be that girl asking you to put your weights back pls. PARKING is easy if you don't go during peak rush hours. Overall the remodel took this gym from a 2/10 to a 10/10 but don't let me convince you until you see for yourself.

Jay in maintence is the hardest working person I have ever met, so kind and helpful. He hustles to keep the broken and malfunctioning equipment and wet area working and is much appreciate by us members. Lana has been extremely helpful as well. The renovations were extremely lackluster. Members were misled or outright lied to about what changes would be made to the gym and wet area. Construction, including jackhammering is still going on, we were told the project would take less than a month. I have videos of the noise reverberating through the wet area and breaking decibel levels for construction codes for San Francisco. The wet area is neglected to a dangerous and unhealthy level still. They claimed they "deep cleaned" it. The disabled lift for the pool and jacuzzi have bed been busted and malfunctioning or completely useless since I started there almost a year ago. They were to be replaced and were not! I have gotten stuck in the pool several times while it glitched. Once recently it broke completely. Thankfully my husband was there, and went and asked for Jay who managed to get it functioning and get me out. I wrote corporate, no answer. The entire building is not up to ADA gym codes and standards. There are loose railing, slippery dirty stairs and railings, mold growing from the spitters who can't follow basic hygiene rules even with a sign right where they usually spit under the lift chair. Then they fling water everywhere after spitting or snorting, and my wheelchair will not drive through the puddles. It is incredible dangerous. The locker room has no disabled lockers, and the one shower stall is not up to code for wheelchair users. None of the doors are up to code and have damaged my wheelchair several times. They refused to fix the broken women's locker room disabled stall's loose then broken toilet seat from September 2025 when I was first injured on it until May 2026 during the renovations. I was moderately injured the 5th time it slipped and one side fell into the toilet and I slipped off into the wall. There are uncovered screws sticking out of the wall connected to the stall next to it that have also cut me twice, and damaged my backpack. Do better, please! Communication there is dismal. No warning or planned closures, changes to schedules, etc. Yesterday the swim school was there when they are not on the schedule. Photos attached. In the summer we can barely use the pool. They have also showed up unannounced when the Potrero locations pool was closed, and allowed to hold classes without authorization displacing members. The worst part is upset members who try to swim in the lanes for the school or refuse to get out of the pool during swim class time, and they often scare the children or harass the swim school employees who are just doing their jobs! This happened yesterday, a man with flippers soaked a young child and the instructor by coming in their lane and splashing them intentionally. That area is chaos incarnate with no semblance of gym or pool etiquette.

The stairmasters have been broken for some time now with the first one being broken for 2-3 months. One by one they broke & now they're all broken. I understand gym equipment can break from time to time but the fact that ALL stairmasters are broken, 30% of ellipticals are broken, a handful of treadmills, & the weight machines upstairs are missing pins, broken cables, etc is just pitiful from a gym like this. VARIOUS THINGS HAVE BEEN BROKEN FOR MONTHSSSS!!! The LEAST they could do is communicate to us what is going on & what they are doing to rectify this situation. I usually do not write reviews unless necessary to make a change to the establishment. I hope this review finds its way to someone who can do something Side note: this gym also is starting to have an issue with people hogging machines while doomscrolling on their phones between sets as they are "resting". If that grind your gears, this is a heads up. Side side note: notice how management only replies to "positive reviews"; this is a critical review from an intermediate gym goer(3 years of hypertrophy training) for some context.
