The facility is always clean, the equipment is modern and well-maintained, and there's plenty of space so it never feels overcrowded even during busy hours. The locker rooms are also really nice and kept in great condition. One of the highlights of this location is the staff. Everyone is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they genuinely care about creating a good environment for members. Nick in particular stands out. He's always helpful, professional, and brings great energy to the gym. Whether it's answering questions or just making people feel welcome. Additionally, Fitness SF outperforms the local competition; five points fitness, body kinetics, and the bay club all have worse hours, higher prices, and worse equipment (significantly worse regarding five points) If you're serious about building your physique, or just want a high quality, friendly environment to work out in, this gym is right for you If you or anyone you know truly believes an alternative gym in Marin is better than Fitness SF, your IQ is most likely lower than your bench. BUT! That's ok! Switch to Fitness SF and our community and equipment will get you right, physically and mentally. I know for a fact if you come here for just one month you'll never want to switch back to your old gym. Overall, its a fantastic place to work out. Great equipment, great atmosphere, and great staff. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a quality gym in the area. Oh and I almost forgot we've got some wonderful massage chairs for post lift relaxation.

The only other "affordable" gym in the area is the YMCA, and that is always insanely packed. Sonoma Fit has great value for money. It's not overly crowded, has great music, people are friendly.

So make sure to keep your expectations in check - you'll get a great workout without breaking the bank, but it isn't fancy!

I love the Y and appreciate the amenities available to the community. I have only one concern and…read moreit is that lifeguards do not enforce their basic rules for lap swim. In the last month alone, I have experienced 3 incidents where someone just suddenly appeared in my lane, in front of me while I was swimming. When swimming freestyle, you generally are looking down and if someone is suddenly in front of you, it is difficult to stop in time to avoid a collision. On each occasion, I questioned the person to ask, "where did you come from, how are you in this lane?" All of these swimmers seemed oblivious to the rules, 1: You enter at the deep end only, not in the middle of a lane from an adjoining lane. 2: You make visual or verbal contact with other swimmers when entering their lane and communicate if you're circle swimming or parallel swimming. 3: You never enter in the middle of a lane. I live in fear of a collision because I have 4 small plates holding my cervical spine in place. But the concerning thing to me, is where are the lifeguards. They are literally sitting and watching and never instruct these scofflaws. What are they doing? Another example was the woman doing a backstroke in the "Walking" lanes, literally colliding with bathers and continued even when she was asked to move over to a swim lane by others. I'm just going to say, an accident is bound to happen unless they clean this up, soon. Perhaps it isn't a responsibility of the lifeguards to monitor for these incidents, but I got scolded once for being "too fast," for a slower lane. Made me laugh because I hadn't swam in 5 years and felt it was appropriate for me to start there. So, I know the guards are monitoring something. Let's just hope nothing bad happens, I guess.

I transitioned from group classes to individual design programming and training with Marcus Filly a few years back and as soon as Revival Strength opened their doors I made the leap to join them. It's the most welcoming atmospheres for training I've every experienced. Whether you are just starting your fitness or healthy lifestyle journey or are a seasoned veteran everyone is welcomed and encouraged. Unlike group classes, you don't feel the need to compete with anyone but yourself and at the same time you have people encouraging your training from the knowledgable floor coaches to other members in the gym, everyone wants your training to be successful for you and without judgement. I am very competitive but have had many injuries do to sports and the group class environment tends to make me want to push through issues that I need to step back and fix. Revival Strength and their coaching staff has made this a possibility, not just physically but mentally to be able to step back and approach training in different ways depending on physical issues and other stresses in my life. Oh! and don't forget their nutrition programs as well. If I've learned anything in the last few years it's that so much of our physical and mental issues can be tied to our gut health. Check it out for yourself, I promise you won't be disappointed!
