    Got some group conditioning in before work. Look at my girls mad tire pushing skills.
    Laura M.

    I work with Cassandra on Thursdays (she's great, by the way), so I haven't had an opportunity to meet the fabled Stone yet, but I am so in love with the space he put together. The gym itself is spacious, clean and is a fitness nerd's dream when it comes to equipment. They have a TRX cage, an amazing lifting space, kettle bells, free weights, and cables in addition to a bunch of newfangled doohickeys and thingamabobs that I couldn't even begin to identify, but that have kicked my butt when I use them in my workouts. And Cassandra! What a great trainer and body worker. She's so empathetic and intuitive, even on my rough inflammation and migraine days, she manages to coax a great workout out of me. Her focus on form when it comes to heavy lifting is phenomenal. She has an eye for movement, and is always coming up with creative ways to accommodate my aches and pains, while still helping me drive towards my fitness goals. In addition to being a great trainer, who's clearly gone to great lengths to hone her craft, she's also a body worker. So, when I come in with muscle pain, or my neck is locked up, she just puts me on the table (because there's a body work room!), and works it out so that we can get back to getting our fitness on. Finally, this review wouldn't be complete without giving a five star mention to the dogs. It would seem that all the trainers bring their doggies to assist the workouts. Which is brilliant, if you ask me. Cassandra has the greatest pup out there and she gets to come work out with us. Whether she's cuddling you between sets, greeting you with her sunshine face, or tearing around the gym like a big goof, that dog rounds out this outstanding experience. I couldn't dream up a better workout buddy. And when the workout is over, I am sweating, happy, and have had all the doggy love I can take.

    I used to hate Kettle Bells now I love them as much as Kettle Corn!

    If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be…read moreyour first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment. Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try. The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did. This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors. Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored. Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous.

I love exercising outdoors and the accountability of a class with an instructor who provides individual guidance and accomodations at a fraction of cost of a personal trainer.

It doesn't matter if you want to do cardio, weights, lifting, barbells, dumbbells, stretching, balancing, they will have the equipment for you. They also have a decent schedule of classes. What are the coolest aspects of this gym is the basketball court. It fills up routinely with pick up games and it's not hard to find other people to play with. This gym is the parking. I typically end up parking on the street, and the area gets pretty dicey. My car was broken into one time. It's important to not leave anything in your car or people will come break in. A lot of people don't know this, but the YMCA offers low income programs that provide subsidize memberships. It's not free, but they help out with the monthly fee in part.

    The Oakland YMCA is better than the Berkeley one, but there is still plenty of room for…read moreimprovement. Let's start with the pros: it's in a good location, it's a sizable space, and they have a lot of cardio machines. I recently had to wait for a machine, and that may have been the first time I've experienced that here. Now for the cons: 1) Like other East Bay YMCA locations, there is no towel service. I have exercised at YMCA locations all over the Bay Area, and I've noticed that on the Peninsula and in San Francisco, Marin, and the South Bay, members do not have to bring their own towels. I get that it's a luxury, but I wish the holdouts in the East Bay would get with the program. 2) There is no hot tub. (This is something the Berkeley YMCA does have.) 3) Machines and other things are out of order for extended periods of time. (See photos.) 4) The water pressure in the men's locker room is lackluster. 5) They renovated the men's locker room last year and it is certainly nicer, but I don't understand why they insist on those mats that feel slightly less painful than stepping on legos. (See photo.) 6) The staff does not answer the phone - at least not consistently. Earlier this month, I called three times over the course of a week to ask about something I accidentally left in the locker room and to check about holiday hours. All calls were during business hours, and no one ever picked up. I left a voicemail the first time and never got a call back. Am I going to continue using the YMCA? Yes - it's a 10-minute walk from home, and it has the basic gym necessities for me. I'm unlikely to recommend it until they start putting in a little more effort, though.

Not only that this one is cheaper than other ones, but also it's very personal. While you work out with many other people in other camps, here, you get to work out in a smaller group so you get more attention from the instructors. I love that. The instructors are really funny, too. Also, on top of the regular bootcamp stuff, they teach self-defense for women. Since I live in Oakland alone as a woman and have to walk to and from the BART station, I always felt it was dangerous. I have taken self-defense lessons like once a year, but I always forget the techniques after a week. Now, I learn new skills and get to practice them everyday, IF I need to use any of the techniques (I hope I won't have such a chance though...) I can actually remember them. I LOVE all the kicking and punching! lol I signed up for the unlimited workout membership. I think this is a better deal among all the other deals they have but check out their website and decide for yourself. After every class, I feel fabulous and confident! Anyways, if you are interested in getting fit and getting more confidence when you walk down the street of Oakland (lol), I highly recommend this bootcamp! (btw, did I tell you that I lost 8 lbs after joining 30day bootcamp??? I still have 15 more lbs to lose though...lol )

It was intense, but only 45 minutes long, so definitely manageable. Martin is a great instructor - he really pushed us, but was very sweet and friendly and encouraging. The workouts changed every day, so it was never boring. I felt great afterwards. I went regularly for 2 weeks. Then the new semester started and I only made it in once in the third week, and then, all of a sudden, their schedule changed: morning classes were to be held only at the Montclair location, while afternoon and evening classes would be held at the Uptown location. This didn't fit in with my schedule, so I only made it in once more - to a Saturday morning class at the Montclair location. (That was a good class, too, but I liked being outside better.) I got a text the other day saying that 500 William Street would be hosting morning classes again. Since my Living Social deal is long over and I can't afford their normal prices at the moment, I won't be returning immediately, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for the future. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new fitness routine.

We are so grateful for how she's made time to train us from scratch, and barely 4 months in, we already feel a huge improvement in our daily lives. Alison not only makes working out approachable, she manages to make it fun and practical.

I completely understand that studios may have policies about late arrivals, but this was never mentioned on the website or in any of the booking communications. Had I known there was a strict no-grace-period policy, I would have made sure to arrive much much earlier as the parking in the area isn't the best. Because of how the situation was handled, it didn't make me feel comfortable rescheduling the class. I've had much better experiences at other studios, and it's disappointing because I was genuinely looking forward to trying this one.

Each class and instructor I have taken has been wonderful. The entire staff is knowledgeable, encouraging and willing to offer feedback and assistance. I have taken multiple classes with the convenience of the annual pass. (Ie intro, low flow, twerk, poleography, pole workout, inversion etc). I have nothing but positive feedback about the instructors. Zhara's energy and abilities are awesome! Kelli's intro to pole and inversion class is wonderful. I always feel challenged but encourage that I will continue to progress. Kate's breakdown of the technical details with intro to inversion sessions are amazing. It feels like having a private session. Vickya's exercises in intro to pole particularly looking in the mirror and watching myself has helped me boost my self esteem. Tink's boot camp class has helped me get in better shape. C Michelle's energy and class on twerking has opened my eyes to the art form. Kat's kindness and beautiful choreography in low flow has helped me gain confidence in my own sensuality and body. For someone who never been on a pole 5 months ago and was shy to now being able to climb and starting to learn inversion, this studio has been amazing. So glad I took that first intro class and took a chance in myself. Now I can't get enough!!! I can't say enough positive things about this studio. In a short time I have learned so much and am excited weekly for my pole classes. I have met diverse folks of all backgrounds and it's beautiful to be part of this community.
