Pilates: I love attending the reformer classes, particularly Alba's and Jessica's, but I've attended most if not all of the instructors' classes and they've all been great. The weekend classes do get kind of quick so it's better to book in advance. Gym: Clean, never packed (at least when I go). I always find space to stretch with no issue and have never had to wait for what I need. People put their weights back. There are spray bottles and cloths to wipe what you use after. The bathrooms are clean, and the red light sauna is a treat (honestly my deciding factor for adding the membership lol). I've yet to use the cold plunge or the showers. You get $10 off when you have more than 1 membership. I had a billing issue in the beginning and they were very responsive and helpful. All together I pay $164/mo for both. The lack of a parking lot is a mild inconvenience, but street parking is hardly an issue with all the residential streets with free parking around Park. Great gym!!

This gym is hands down one of the best I've been to. It's always clean, well-organized, and…read moreequipped with everything you need--plenty of machines, free weights, and space to work out comfortably. Even during busy hours, it never feels overcrowded. The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell they care about creating a positive environment for all fitness levels. The atmosphere is motivating without being intimidating, which makes it easy to stay consistent. I can't recommend my personal trainer (Katherine) and Rise highly enough! From day one, they've been professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in my progress. Every workout is well-structured, challenging, and tailored to my goals and fitness level. They push me just the right amount while always making sure my form is correct and that I'm training safely. If you're looking for a trainer who is reliable, encouraging, and results-driven, this is absolutely the one. Worth every penny!

I have two issues with Oaktown Boulders: communication and organization. It was impossible to get a…read morehold of them by email or phone to sign my daughter up, so we drove there and showed up to talk to someone. I signed my daughter up for a class, and after she attended one session (and after getting her excited about climbing), they emailed me to say they messed up, and the class was full. So they cancelled her enrollment and gave me a partial refund. Totally unacceptable! My daughter was so disappointed. After that experience, we joined another climbing gym and asked Oaktown Boulders to take us off their email list. They have literally emailed me half a dozen times, promoting new classes and letting me know about openings. EVERY SINGLE TIME, I ask them to remove me from their email list! No response. Also, unacceptable! Get your sh*t together, Oaktown Boulders!

Part of loving Oaktown Boulders is loving that they are aiming to make climbing something that ALL…read morekids have access to.

It is exciting to see the growth that they have achieved over the past couple of years and moving locations, hiring/training new staff is never easy.

Yet, in addition to wanting this confidence boosting and camaraderie building experience for my kid it matters to me to give my money to a place also working to do good in our community.

Anthony provides a friendly, non judgmental atmosphere to work out in and reach your personal…read morefitness goals. He tailors the workout to your goals whatever they may be - weight loss, general fitness, gaining muscle, etc. Clientele includes a wide variety of ages and training experience from beginner to intermediate. Workouts are done in small batches of 3 people during each time slot - so no waiting for machines, and you get personalized attention from Anthony. Workouts are circuit style, and Anthony can also tailor them on the fly depending on your current needs. The session lasts between 30-45 mins. You feel accountable to Anthony and the peer group you train with, and everyone pushes and encourages everyone else to train hard. You will leave exhausted but happy. If you're having trouble committing to a regular gym schedule, this environment is very conducive to developing a good gym habit. The health, fitness and confidence you gain from this affects every aspect of your life, so the cost seems insignificant for the benefits you reap. Anthony offers a free workout session where you can try out 1 day, and it's a nice way to test if you like it. I can't recommend Anthony highly enough - this will change your life.

As an individual with…read morelimited English, she asked for my assistance with the staff and manager about inaccurate charges she was being billed for. We went in-person to Planet Fitness on Macarthur Blvd, in Oakland multiple times and spoke with multiple staff about the billing mistakes (for example, charging my foster daughter for bringing a guest when the individual who joined her had her own membership) and getting credited for the mistaken charges. We sent emails to the Manager of Planet Fitness. Our concerns were never addressed despite us completing the paperwork that was required to process our concerns. My foster daughter tried to cancel her membership on multiple occasions but she continued to be billed. Eventually we had to ask her bank to block future charges from Planet Fitness. The customer service is terrible. I highly recommend that you check your charges from Planet Fitness and be vigilant when it is time to cancel so you can have a hopefully better experience than us.

Minh is organized, knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to work with. Over the past couple of months, I've strengthened weaker areas, improved my mobility, and learned so much about how my body works. The results have been noticeable beyond the gym too--on the soccer field, I feel more dynamic and effective than ever. I can't recommend Minh and Body Mechanix highly enough!

Y'ALL, THAT IS A MIRACLE IN ITSELF. I CAN'T SAY THAT ABOUT ANY OTHER PLACE... LIKE EVER. In literally any other fitness space, I'm always bracing myself for some sort of gender dysphoria or body dysmorphia trigger. This is the place I go where I don't have to worry about negative self-talk, diet talk, or any body shaming. Have you ever said that about a gym??? Radically fit is super warm, friendly, and welcoming. The trainers and members equally make it a great time every time. Lately I've been attending Emmet's barbell class and their attention to detail and fine tuning technique keep me coming back for more. This gym truly lives up to its name, radically changing the fitness industry one barbell lift at a time!
