This studio used to feel really special, but as it's grown, classes have become uncomfortably…read morepacked. With columns blocking the view + overcrowded space, getting a decent spot can feel competitive, which is a space issue that contributes to increasing tension between members. Lately, some of the messaging around space feels like it's putting the burden on clients, which can come off as frustrating or unintentionally shaming. I get that it's a tough room to manage--but there are better ways to handle it. The minute a business starts treating its clientele as gnats or 'entitled problems', is the moment that the heart of the business begins to weaken. Simple fixes like rotating rows each song, clearer spacing markers on the floor, or more instructor movement (use all mirrors!) could make a big difference. Even having a place up front just for newbies could be a positive way to address this vs making clients feel blamed for environmental and system barriers. There's still a lot to love here--I just hope the studio can hold onto the supportive, growth-oriented culture it's known for.

I also want to give a shoutout to the front desk staff, Alaysia (sorry if I misspelled your name!)…read more She is so sweet and welcoming. I really appreciate how open she is to listening to feedback, and I've also noticed how she interacts with first-timers. The level of attention and care she shows--especially by asking about injuries the club should know about--really stands out. It makes new members feel seen, safe, and comfortable. She's truly the cherry on top of an already amazing team of instructors.

Over the past few years they have expanded and developed various formats, such as Bar Cardio, Bar Flow, Bar Pilates, Bar Strength and Bar Restore. While I am a huge fan of the classic bar method exercises and format, it is wonderful to have a variety of classes to choose from and change it up every week. Bar Method is such a regular part of my daily life, that I can't imagine being without it. The exercises target such small specific muscles that support the larger ones, and I believe I've less prone to injuries because of these work outs. I strongly encourage anyone who is curious to give it a try!!

My sister and I have been coming here for almost two years now. We love doubling up with Burn then…read moreClimb in the mornings. Climb is only 30 mins, but it's such a great cardio burn. Fair warning, it's probably the hardest class we've ever taken. I remember our first class, a 6:30 AM session w/Simone. We walked out drenched and were like, "What the hell did we sign up for?!" But we enjoyed her class because the energy felt like we were back at 1OAK. We stuck with it, and now we're regulars. Give it at least a month to really decide if it's for you, but if you don't have a lot of time and want a great workout, this is it.

I'm seeing results on the scale and in muscle definition and I always feel happy after leaving the gym. Shout out to Coach Simon, Madie and Alex whose classes I often attend.

I've been with them for about a year now, and I love that there are some REALLY elite athletes; people that compete nationally or even have kettlebell world record, but they're all very kind and relatable. It's not that "you have to worship the top performer" attitude that some gyms have with their top athlete. Patrick has really changed the way I lift, and I've improved all my lifts by a significant margin after coming to GRCF. My clean and jerk went up about 90lbs, snatch up ~50lbs, and squat ~60lbs. My technique has improved greatly, and Patrick has really tailored the coaching experience to my exact body proportions instead of giving me a "one size fits all" experience. I've seen lots of members come in and start from scratch, and others come in with a significant background but there's something for everyone at GRCF. There's even strong man training and a fun community of people who are interested in all sorts of things. If you want to do a race, someone will do it with you! It's a great place to feel right at home right away. Feel free to personally message me if you want more details or in depth recommendations!

Most all of the reviews are accurate. To summarize/add in my experiences:…read more Pros: Clean facilities. You see the janitorial staff constantly cleaning. Plenty of parking (at least after work). Free validated 2 hour parking Clientele are fairly considerate (they'll tell you they're only using one of the 2 cable towers. Ask you if you're using X attachment) Price (4th? cheapest option in the Bay Area behind 24 hour, planet fitness, and crunch) Transparent pricing (you pay first and last month dues and initiation fee, and then annual fee 2 Weeks later) Con The gym itself has a fairly small footprint. It gets pretty crowded during peak hours (e.g. post work rush) The after work crowd dies down around 9. Not a lot of TVS in the gym if you want to watch X sport during your work out. I think the only one is in the bathroom? Guest passes are a ruse. You sign up for one, and they'll you that they're not available for 2 months. But if you sign up on the spot, then suddenly you can get access to the gym. Sauna is perpetually broken Closes pretty early on weekends (8PM) and holidays (usually 4PM) Parking garage ramp is narrow, so might be tricky if you drive a larger vehicle
