I have multiple injuries and body issues that make it hard to work out. I was always injuring myself the moment I tried to do weight training on my own. With Awesta I give him feedback on when something is challenging or exacerbating an issue--I'm learning good form to avoid injuries. He is always responsive and finds modifications so I can stay engaged the entire work out. I also find it more affordable than I expected. I don't do the group classes though they look great, it's a bit too advanced for me given my limitations. Being in there a few times a week, I watch the entire staff cultivate a warm, welcoming environment where you/they say hi to everyone who walks into the space. It's also very diverse. I'm talking both staff and members, culturally, age-wise, body types, genders--no one ever makes you feel you don't belong there.

Rating: 4.5/5 - this review is based on one class…read more This gym is great for beginners and an older crowd. I didn't realize how much of a gym desert Castro Valley is until today. I'm originally from San Diego and there are plenty of gyms around my area. However, my sister did mentioned she lived in an older more suburban neighborhood. Unfortunately, I wanted more of a challenging HIIT class that you can find at Barrys or F45 (both of which are an hour away from here). With that being said, they do have TRX bands and assault bikes as well as a variety of weights. They also offer beverages between $1-$5. They were also nice to let you use the assault bikes before and after class. I was expecting more of an energetic and motivated crowd but it was more of a mellow crew of retirees and a preteen boy. It was definitely not what I expected in a bootcamp/HIIT class. Nevertheless, it was a great class albeit I felt like the only gym rat there. Earlier in the class, there was some confusion (partially because the trainer was also teaching people online) but he was able to modify some of the routine so most of us understood what to do. I never expected wanting to do more after a workout but this is a great class if you want to be challenged but not physically exhausted. I also recommend a voice amplifier and more prompts (i.e lift your arms above your head, etc) for the trainer as there was some confusion (maybe due to the music, his low tone or lack of prompts). Will visit again if I'm in the area as it's relatively close to where my family lives. Parking: Plaza Parking Recommendation: They have a first timer special - 3 classes for $50 that includes personal training but I would check online or in person to make sure that it's accurate. They also offer open gym to those with classpass!

The new owner has taken time to consider what an ideal women's gym should have. Once, it's all finished it will look and be THE place to workout in Castro Valley. Don't hesitate to check D's out!

It would be great to see some newer equipment and additions like a Smith machine or hip thrust machine. My sister and I had an uncomfortable experience when we visited together. A trainer asked us to swipe in separately, assuming we were trying to share a membership. The way we were approached didn't feel very welcoming or respectful. It's also frustrating to see the owners opening a new Pilates studio while this location still needs updates. And honestly, for a women's-only gym, it's surprising there's no childcare option. I think that would make a big difference for many members. I prepaid for an annual membership and honestly unsure if I will renew when the time comes.

Everyone there is so warm and welcoming, and there is no judgement there at all. There are so much laughter and chatter, it's always such a warm and fun atmosphere. I know it's seems almost impossible to wake up at 5am and be at the gym by 6am for exercise, but once you get into the rhythm of starting your day early and sleeping early, it does wonders for your body and energy! The pricing is also very affordable, and bootcamp membership is offered in chunks of 3-months/6-months/a year. I'm only be in California for an undetermined amount of time, and after expressing my concerns, Mitch was very understanding and accommodating, so we were able to find something for me. Time flies really fast during bootcamp, but what I really appreciate is that there's no pressure to do beyond what you're capable of, you can go at your own pace and no one will judge you. Dianne and Mitch both demonstrate each exercise so it's easy to follow along, and they keep track of how many sets of each exercise we do. One of the biggest things they emphasize is correct posture, so you don't accidentally injure yourself during exercise. I've walked out of gym feeling all my muscles aching (in a good way!!) and I definitely am feeling so much healthier and less antsy I recommended my sister to come here as well and today was her first day of PT. It's her first time going to a gym for exercise, so having a PT to personally guide her was a good choice. She said it was a little bit of a challenge but she appreciated how attentive they were to the exercises she could do and the ones she struggled with. Needless to say, this was a great choice for us!! Thank you so much!

I initially signed up for an 8-week challenge and then committed to an 18-month challenge because I instantly felt inspired by seeing how many calories I was burning in such a short amount of time. Prior to coming here, I inconsistently would go to the gym. I had zero discipline however since coming here, I have integrated bootcamp workouts into my daily routine, which I had NEVER thought I could do. If you are a beginner or getting back into your fitness, no matter where you are in your fitness journey, you should consider coming here. With your membership you have access to unlimited HIIT classes, so you can start off with one or double up. The HIIT classes change daily, and the class schedule has many options to choose from, which makes it easier to find a time that fits for you. The workouts can be challenging, yet fun, and you will walk away feeling accomplished. I love the structure of the class that offers a good balance of cardio and strength. The coaches and the supportive atmosphere got me, everyone is encouraging and the coaches do an amazing job keeping everyone motivated and engaged. The parking can be a bit challenging; with the move to the new location, I am excited to see the ongoing upgrades and appreciate the commitment by Trevon in enhancing the space. I highly recommend this boot camp to anyone looking to improve their fitness while having a great time!

I began personal training in Feb 2024 to tone and feel confident on my Big Day (Oct 2024) and to restore healthy habits that I lost during Covid. When I first came to Aileen, I couldn't do a modified push-up, I had joint pain from carrying around ~15 extra lbs, and would tire after playing with my 25 lb niece. Coach Aileen guided me through a gradual and intentional fitness journey, building my confidence and strength over time. Her extensive knowledge spans injury prevention, strength training, endurance training, nutrition / macro tracking, and overall wellness. She offers valuable tips and recommendations for creating a holistic, sustainable wellness plan, including stretching, walking, rolling, and nutrition tips (hydration, vitamins, electrolytes, etc.) What sets Coach Aileen apart is her personable approach and ability to make our (difficult!) sessions enjoyable and engaging while maintaining a professional focus. She is positive, and meets me where I am. I highly recommend taking the leap and working with Coach Aileen - you won't regret it!

I honestly can say I couldn't have found a better place than Lifestyle Reset and Coach Aileen. Her approach to health is holistic, effective, and sustainable. Her demeanor is positive, warm and extremely supportive. She is very professional and knowledgeable about the body and best way to achieve weight loss goals for each individual! I am extremely impressed with her level of knowledge, commitment, and passion she has for what she does. I have been with her for a couple of months now, and I have never felt better. This is the first time I feel like I am losing weight in a healthy, sustained way and I am seeing results! Best of all, she coaches you on how to meet your body's nutritional goals so you are not feeling hungry or lacking energy throughout the day (which is HUGE for me!). The studio is always inviting and immaculate. Beautifully designed, super clean, and private. I get energized just walking into the studio! I would highly recommend Lifestyle Reset and Coach Aileen. If you are looking to make a transformational change in your health, give Aileen a try. You won't regret it!

My only complaint is that there is no designated room for the classes, so it can get really loud while they're teaching them because you have to work out in the same area.
