I really wanted to love this gym since it's convenient and is a small business. However being a…read moremember has proved to be disappointing and I ultimately left this gym. Here are the main issues I had- -It's very cramped and can therefore get busy fast. -The cardio area in the front doesn't have enough air circulation or purification. However purification and circulation are a problem everywhere there. -Members regularly show up sneezing, coughing, and with runny noses. -The gym is unattended most of the time, and when staff are present they're glued to devices. The gym's own basic rules just go unenforced. -The equipment is regularly dirty and sweaty. The vast majority of members do not wipe off equipment after they have used it (much less before they use it.) And staff absolutely does not pick up the slack and clean off sweaty machines or provide even gentle reminders to members, in real time. Feels gross and makes it too easy to pick up colds, flu, Covid etc. -If you accidentally forget your water bottle you'll be totally out of luck! They only provide a bubbler- no cups. -There is not composting or recycling throughout the facility. Only the two cans by the entrance offer sustainable options. -Using their platform was difficult both from a cell phone and via the Safari browser. Like most other people in the Bay I'm an iPhone user so this proved to be inconvenient. -They milked me for another month when it was time to cancel. Their cancellation process is not straightforward and bought and you can be charged an entire month's membership, even if you cancel several days before the regular day your dues always deduct. It's a common feeling that if you cancel before your monthly renewal date, you should not be charged on the next renewal date. So to me it seems like their cancellation process is confusing and also is poor business practice, plain and simple. Really the only major perk here was that I could walk here. Ultimately this business might benefit from some local competition. I really don't recommend this gym and hope for Bernal's sake that they make some serious changes.

Terrible costumer service! I joined the gym because I…read morethought it would be a closer alternative to my main gym. Every time I attempted to enter my fob did not work (when I picked it up I confirmed with the employee that it worked). I was so frustrated when this happened a second time I emailed the gym asking if someone could let me in. I was instructed that I needed to wait until staff hours by the founder. Since I don't work in the city I would not be able to meet them during those hours (11-12) This ended up causing some weird email and text argument with the founder who was so rude. I canceled my membership (considering I couldn't even use the gym I pay for) and was charged randomly 2X the expected charge. When I asked for an itemized receipt like any normal business can provide founder responded with the attached email. What a terrible way to do business. Avoid this gym.

Really enjoyed my first lesson with Sue. The lesson was very technical and precise and she had…read moreplenty of corrections (all of which I love) while keeping a pretty fast pace. Usually I've found pilates teachers either slow the pace down to correct or they speed through and you're on your own. Sue was able to blend both and her corrections got me to actually use the muscles I wanted (like deep abs). Highly recommend Sue and her studio and wish it was closer so I could go all the time.

For many…read moreyears, I thought about trying Pilates, but was a little intimidated by all the machines and wasn't sure if I could do it. I finally tried Synced Pilates thanks to a friend/neighbor's recommendation and now I'm hooked. I feel so much better after each class and learn some moves and stretches that help my lower back pains etc. Would definitely recommend giving this studio a try. The bonus is I get to meet neighbors from Bernal/Mission who are mostly middle aged ladies like myself :)

Jessica is patient and creative with how she approaches each lesson. She customizes to one's ability and knows how to stretch beyond it without injury to one's body or mind. You leave each lesson feeling healthier, stronger, and more ready to take on the day. I highly recommend her for her talents as a teacher in a field where there are way too many ways to injure oneself, should one get the wrong instructor.

I didn't have a good experience at this gym.

I felt talked down, like I didn't know anything about training and needed long explanations over very basic things. There's a difference between being supportive and being patronizing, and unfortunately it was the latter. I've worked with great trainers before, so I know what a good training environment can feel like -- and this was definitely not it.

HIGHLY Recommend their cycling class with Griselda…read more I'm going through a life changing event and her class has made me forgot about all of my problems for the time while I'm in there. I love her music choices, her energy etc. She is incredibly motivating! I take classes at night and on Saturday morning and hardly have had issues with finding parking in the neighborhood. The studio is very well maintained. I've also taken their pilates classes and definitely recommend it. BUT if you're looking for a cycling class, check out Griselda's classes. I love them and it's a life changing, freeing class. Plus, you get your dose of cardio in as well as some arm workouts. I will definitely return. I love this place!

I actually have an aversion (well...deep down it's a strong affinity) to mirrors…read more Seriously. Since I was a kid I've been making an uber bizarre mirror face- whenever my reflection is presented before me. It's a weird mix of Blue Steel meets Top Model. I can't help but give face to any and every mirror that I come in contact with. It got so bad during middle school and high school that I never got any work done when I was in my room. I would sit vainly in front of my bedroom mirror and just stare at myself. Stare at myself doing work. Stare at myself no longer doing work. Stare at myself dancing instead of work....the list goes on. My parents finally decided an intervention was in order and promptly removed my massive bureau mirror from my room. A wave of relief overwhelmed me - once that big dominant mirror was no longer a profound presence in my room. I became about 12 percent more productive that day (though all of my CDs were promptly used as substitutes and till today most of my CD collection is smeared with makeup and finger stains...le sigh). And.... so it's a strange thing for me to actually celebrate and crave mirrors such as the ones that Mobu boasts. I've taken two hula-hoop lessons here and the large expansive mirrors which line this intimate studio have been key players in helping me conquer or at least try to tackle difficult hula-hoop moves. When this studio is not in use - you can rent it out for a fairly nominal fee - and it is beyond worth it. It is beyond what's up to have a darling studio where you can drop a hula-hoop loudly on the ground and no one cares (sorry below neighbors). It is beyond what's up to have a space - where you can bust out some bumpin tunes as the hula-hoop awkwardly bumps across your shoulders. It is beyond what's up to have a place where you can go to learn a skill with personal one-on-one training. Thank you Mobu for existing. Thank you Mobu for having mirrors and allowing me to enjoy them oh so briefly. Trust.
