Personal Trainer Katie has been helping me for 6 months. I have lost 40 lbs since. She established…read morea fitness plan for lifestyle change and helped critique my eating habits. She's easy to contact and answers my messages quickly. She has the tools, just commit to doing the work and you'll see great results. Realizing it's not a diet, but a lifestyle change takes some time. It gets easier about after 3 months. There is an escalation of the workout plan. I'm a heavier dude and concerned about my knees. Doing squats and deadlifts are two of the most important exercises for generating testosterone and solidifying your frame. For example, she started me out with just the bar and I gradually got up to maxing out at 315 lbs for the first time. My motivation is to walk on the beach with my shirt off and get down to 10% body fat. I was honest with her what I wanted and I'll keep up the hard work.

Love F45! Excellent place to get fit and strong. Forget this getting weaker as you age. Heck no! If…read moreyou want to maintain and build muscle - go here. One thing I've noticed is if I'm not being pushed I don't work out as hard. But at F45 Moraga, the coaches will catch your eye and tap on the heavier weight and give you some encouragement to do better. So you do and you end up surprising yourself. Another thing they do is add exercises at the end of the sessions: 10 burpees followed by two laps running around the building or core work or stretching. It's a reasonable cost for a solid workout. Great value!

The bad: The classes are large, the music loud, and the routines are posted on screens which are…read moredifficult to see without my glasses on.

My experience at Orinda's Anytime Fitness continues to be outstanding in every possible way!…read more Renee has assembled a wonderful team who always greet me and make me feel like a valued gym member! I recently participated in Joti's "group boxing class" which exceeded my expectations. Even though I was the only woman in the class, I loved getting helpful tips from Joti as well from the male participants (in particular, Tom, Nick & Jonnie)! Joti made me feel right at ease! Like many of his Af counterparts, Joti is the "full package." He has flawless people skills, he is very knowledgeable about boxing, and he has a way of making the class a very positive learning experience -both for those who have prior boxing experience, and those (like me) with no prior boxing experience. I so enjoyed Joti's boxing class and I look forward to enrolling again very soon! In my opinion, what makes Renee's team so outstanding is the understanding that what separates the top performers (like AF) from the competition is a strong "relationship orientation" versus a "transactional approach!". Renee's wonderful team exemplifies this "relationship" orientation each & every day: Katee, traing mgr and Siobhan are very knowledgeable and are always upbeat & available for questions. Joti, Jonnie (sp?) and Antoine (all fairly new) also have flawless people skills, are equally knowledgeable and greet me every day; Jonnie and I have had multiple conversations about a healthy lifestyle as to diet & exercise, and Jonnie recently introduced me to Arnold Schwarzenegger's online newsletter which addresses the importance of a healthy lifestyle (many thx Jonnie!!). Last but not least, Stephen is also very knowledgeable and a pleasure to engage; Like his brother, Gershon, Gersavick (sp?) is extremely personable, he greets me every day AND he plays the best Michael Jackson tunes to work out to! The gym is always pristine- from the bathrooms, to the main gym floor and studio. The gym equipment is also well-maintained.

Holy moly, what an amazing facility and workout! FitLab has been around for several months, but…read moreI've only heard about it recently through ClassPass. With zero ratings / new on ClassPass, I decided to sign up to try it out anyways, and it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. Coincidently enough, one of my former fave OTF coach worked out here, so more of a reason to try FitLab! I signed up for their Hybrid Engine class (HYDOX / DEKA training, etc.) for Monday 6AM, but I wanted to see the facility before a full on class so I wouldn't feel as lost, so I then signed up for "open gym" the day prior. Got there a few mins before it started, and I met Coach/Trainer Larry. He was superb! Larry gave us a nice tour around the facility and described the various machines and stations. He also showed us the amenities- bar, sauna, cold plunge. Amazing! He gave us a nice workout that day as well, focusing on DEKA and we utilized a lot of the stuff- rowing machine, air bike, dumbbells, ski erg, weighted balls, ski pulls/pushes, and more. We also did some body weighted exercises and stretches, as well as some outdoor run up and down the hill. After the workout, he showed us some other stations, more focused on Spartan races. Wow, so strong and inspirational! I had an amazing intro, and was looking forward to the actual class the next morning. Next morning quickly approached, and I was ready for the workout! It was the Hybrid Engine workout, and we did a warmup, then we were divided into groups and were told which stations to rotate around. Nice HIIT style workout focusing on items re HYROX and DEKA. We did some of the machines, some farmer carries, RAM burpees, med ball throws, sandbags, and more. Great intro to a lot of the exercises, and I really enjoyed it. Ended the workout with some dynamic stretching, and I tried the sauna and cold plunge for the first time in my life. Full facilities- locker room, showers, toilets, etc. Shared, which is fine by me. Looking forward to signing up for more classes!

These events provide an unparalleled opportunity for camaraderie and shared experiences. Recently, I underwent hip replacement surgery, and Carah's classes served as my greatest motivation to heal and resume dancing with my Oakwood Dance Sisters.

I stated "no" and he said "ok thanks..." and was about ready to hang up when I asked if he wanted to know why? He paused like he didn't know what to say and then said "uh, sure ok..." I asked him what the policy was in regards to the 5 day free pass, he stared "we don't offer those" which I replied it's on their site under Walnut Creek and he stated that the gym doesn't have control over the website which I said that if they advertise it they have to honor it but wanted to know why they don't honor those and he stated "we have high foot traffic so we don't need to offer it" I confirmed by asking "so you don't take any 5 day passes at all?" And he again replied "no we don't " so I asked again "so never then?" Which he answered he. When I told him that he was wrong because I know of someone who's used their 5 day pass 2 days in a row and questioned why they were able to use theirs he then stated "it's on a case by case basis" which I said "so you do accept them?" He stated "yea" so I asked "why did you say then that you never accept them but you do on a case by case basis? What constitutes the case by case?" He said they need to confirm that the person has never worked out there before and were local and needed to show proof that they're local" I stated "I wasn't even offered that, I was told flat out you don't honor 5 day passes and you yourself confirmed that but now you change your story? Why? Because I don't have boobs and this person did? Sounds shady and like discrimination to me"then he hung up. Also I had asked to speak with the gym's manager named Sidney, he said Sidney was out on a medical issue and said he isn't working and wouldn't contact me back which Enrique, the Sales Manager from the day before said that Sidney was working remote and would call me...I still haven't heard from him either.
