My review is for my appointments with Eddy (Personal Trainer)..As a mom and healthcare worker, I…read morecarry a lot, so my gym time is incredibly important to me. It's one of the few times I really get to focus on taking care of myself. Fridays are especially challenging for me personally, so I started scheduling my sessions in the evenings after a particularly stressful part of my week. Eddy has honestly been such a blessing. Even though I haven't really discussed with him how hectic my life can be, he's taught me different warm-up, breathing, and relaxation techniques that have helped me feel more grounded and relaxed. I didn't even realize how much tension I was carrying until I noticed how different I felt after our sessions. I'm relatively new to the gym, and Eddy is so kind and patient that I feel completely comfortable asking him questions. He doesn't just tell me what to do, he teaches me along the way, explains proper body mechanics, and makes sure I understand what I'm doing and why. I'm very grateful for my time training with him. Having a space where I can learn, decompress, and take care of myself for a little while has meant a lot to me all while he helps me reach my fitness goals. Thank you, Eddy!

I used to go here a couple years ago and cancelled during Covid, but I recently restarted my…read moremembership because this gym is one of the most convenient for me distance wise. Honestly it used to be fine. Lately I've PRIMARILY been using the treadmills, but guess what?? EVERYTHING IS BROKEN! At least 1/3 of treadmills are broken every single time I go, sometimes for months! Yesterday I counted 7!! Along with a couple of ellipticals, and previously, every single stair master except for 1. I sometimes only have time to go after work, when there is a huge line!! Multiple weight machines are all broken and old as well upstairs. Tons of people came for the basketball courts, which they closed down! The same machines were broken for so long that I complained to the front desk. They told me that they "put in multiple requests, but it takes weeks for the repairmen to come. Once they do, there are new machines that break after the broken ones have been fixed." Why would it take weeks to repair machines, just to have them break over and over and over? I've never seen this many broken machines at any other gym. The workers also yell at us to get out once we get close to closing time. A few times I was changing in the bathroom, and someone told me over and over again that the gym was closed and to get out. Should I just run out naked? I've heard them yell over the intercom, and make unprofessional "gen z" noises and screeches. Honestly if I didn't get charged the stupid "initiation fee" and "annual fee" I would COMPLETELY run the other way, no hesitation. Literally we should get reimbursed for the trauma we are experiencing and all our time wasted!!

They both make the class very entertaining for the kids. Master Mar has a different way of teaching compared to a lot of martial art schools out there, which makes his method of training by far the best I've ever trained in. If you are in search of a tae kwon do school, I highly recommend giving this place a shot, I promise you won't be disappointed. Thank you for letting me be part of the KMAC family.

However the grandmasters and fellow classmates have been very considerate and caring of this. I'm very excited to see how far I can go here and for each class to see what I learn next. I researched so many gyms in SF, Berkeley, and Oakland. But i can safely say this is the best one i have found and I'm so glad to learn and train here around such amazing and talented people.

Nice community gym with lots of cardio and weight lifting options as well as plenty of classes…read more The place is fairly small but makes good use of the space they have. I highly recommend getting signed up to use the EGym system that tracks your progress on many of the cardio and weight lifting machines on the second floor as it helps gamify the whole experience. The YMCA also uses an app where you can reserve a spot for the classes that are offered which I also recommend doing as many classes are popular and fill up. Changing rooms and bathrooms are kept very clean. Staff are generally helpful and the place welcomes people of all ages. Also with the YMCA membership you can go to other YMCA gym locations in the area which has been a convenient option for me as well. Overall definitely worth checking out if you are looking for a solid gym in the area.

Since December 2025, they have canceled 10 of his classes. For young kids, inconsistent instruction isn't just inconvenient -- it causes them to lose momentum and regress, because swimming requires routine, repetition, and confidence-building week after week. Not to mention, we plan our day expecting this class to happen and week in and week out we get a cancelation notice on the same day, completely messing up our schedule. It's completely unacceptable to run a swim school with this level of inconsistency and no real accountability or effort to make it right. Families aren't paying for "weekly" lessons that get canceled constantly.

Swam with this club for 9 years and loved every moment of it!!!…read more Growing up I had a hard time finding a sport that suited me and my interests because I always wanted something that was not only physically challenging but creatively challenging as well. Synchronized swimming filled both of these interests perfectly. I not only got to learn a unique sport but I also got to work with some great coaches that pushed me and inspired me to be the person I am today. Synchronized swimming taught me how to be a team player, which is a quality and skill I now use on a daily basis in both my professional and personal life. This sport and swim club really shaped a great deal of my childhood and I am proud to be able to say that I once was a San Francisco Merionette. I definitely suggest this for parents who are looking to enroll their children in a swim program or an after school activity.

I am forever greatful for the network for kind friends and inspiring coaches that being a part of SFM has given me.

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.

Looking for a gym for consistent workout and this was the worse one I tried…read more The two visits were consistently bad. First time coming ~8pm and they didn't let me in because it was crowded after having me complete intake and provide an ID. Why make me go through the check in process to deny me? The second visit, it was not too crowded so I got to try out different machines but you can see people not following gym etiquette (wiping down after use) and the staff not doing anything about that. The shower and sauna facility felt like it hadn't been clean in a while. Not worth a revisit or membership imo.

If you can't find street parking, the small lot across De Montfort Ave. is free. Just make sure to be careful while driving since there's so many kids around! The gym itself is small but clean. Spectators sit in upstairs bleachers and aren't allowed on the courts. Family and friends need to wait outside in the hallway to meet the players after they leave the court area. These young players always leave me impressed with their talent and conviction. My friend and all the other volunteer staff also earn my admiration for their dedication to youth sports. If you know anyone involved in CYO Athletics, definitely come out to support them and enjoy some great games!
