Come. Try it out. Have fun. Get stronger. CrossFit Marin has morning, afternoon and evening classes…read moreto suit any schedule, and there are plenty of concurrent classes so that parents with kids of any age can work out at the same time. It's the best gig in town. Our first experience with CrossFit Marin was at their weekly Sunday afternoon classes at Town Park in Corte Madera. We saw a couple of athletic guys setting up a tumbling and gymnastics course next to the playground, and signed our two boys (3 and 5) up for a drop-in gymnastics class. The boys had fun, learned some new moves, and worked off a Sunday-morning-worth of energy. Andres de la Rosa and Roger Harrell told us about their program and invited us to check out their gym over at Tamal Plaza. A couple of weeks later, I signed the boys up for gymnastics once a week. While I watched those first few classes, it quickly became clear that the CrossFit Marin team are patient, talented and positive teachers for both the littlest tumblers (whose attention often wanders) and those kids who have had more experience (who may need more focus and harder challenges). And as we spent more time at the gym, I saw how our boys' natural flexibility and strength were being enhanced by balance work, skill training and fun games during class. The prices are very reasonable, so we quickly went from once a week to twice a week for the boys, and I started chatting with the trainers (thanks, Bill!) about their adult CrossFit program. Now comes the personal part: I have a lousy body image. I was a plump unathletic little kid, and as an adult have always been more inclined to play Scrabble than racquetball, if you get my meaning. So it took a couple of weeks of watching at the gym before I was willing to open myself up to trying an adult CrossFit class. And you know what? It turns out I'm *great* at it! Sure, I can't really do many pushups yet, and I can't yet do a chinup, but for the first time I can actually see myself getting there one day. I'm learning ways to work toward those goals. I'm getting stronger every week. The focus at CrossFit Marin is on strength and overall conditioning, so the workouts are really varied -- we've done skill work on everything from deadlifts and pullups to juggling and balance beam, so I feel like I'm always making progress. They can scale a workout for any skill level. Can't do a pullup? Keep one foot supported! Can do 50 pullups? Wear a weight vest! They can even work around past injuries so that you can come to the gym even if you have, say, a bad back or a chronic knee condition. If you think you're strong, you'll get stronger, and if you think you aren't fit, you'll discover strengths you didn't know you had. There is always something new to work toward, and they welcome whatever you bring to the table (or the floor in this case). Bottom line? I am working harder and feeling better about myself than I have in years, and I can do it at the same time as the kids are doing their classes. So they see me being active, and they're well-cared-for and busy while I'm focusing on my own health and well-being. Roger, Andres and the rest of the CrossFit Marin team are talented, open-minded, positive and committed to teaching all ages and skill levels. Their gym promotes community, hard work and good habits, but without the posturing or 'sales' mentality of some other local facilities. They love what they do -- helping people to grow stronger and more physically confident -- and it shows.

Because of my background, I need to work with a trainer who knows their stuff inside and out, one that will push me, and one that understands the fundamentals of exercise physiology and stays away from the hot, hip, and often dangerous trends. JT was all of that and more. I came to JT with a specific goal and only three short weeks to reach it. Three weeks for a fitness program is like a blink of an eye. It is quick. I worked with him twice a week where he pushed me, encouraged me, supported me, and also made sure I left smiling. Within those six sessions, my strength increased exponentially, my stamina improved, and my mental game took huge strides forward (never thought I would be able to do 200 pushups in a day). Each time I came to train with JT, the studio was clean and he was there ready to go. He never wasted time, and he never stalled while coaching me through the workout. He was organized, thorough, methodical, and prepared. I looked forward to my sessions all week. On the in between days, JT would check in with me to see how I was feeling and how my workouts were going. His love for what he does and excitement for my progress always came through the messages.

Toni Dee has worked with me, better than my PT, and has been so patient with me, and I had worked up my confidence and strength. If it wasn't for Toni Dee, I could not imagine where I would be now. I think it is important, especially for senior women to start getting in shape before it is too late.

They checked in properly, were approved by staff, and were there to use the services that had been paid for. The manager then said the gym was "too busy" and told them they couldn't use the buddy pass at this location--directing them to another gym instead. That's not what's advertised, and it's not what people pay for when they buy a membership with guest privileges. If this is how the manager at this location treats members and their guests, it reflects poorly on Gold's Gym as a whole. Denying access to people who follow the rules is unacceptable.

This past summer, I was traveling abroad and asked the gym to put a hold on my training sessions until I was back.

I filed a claim with my bank to reverse the charge and it was validated by Gold's Gym and the funds returned to my account. The problem began when I wanted to restart my personal training sessions. The gym manager, Andrew, who is no longer at the Gym, said that the only way to restart the sessions was to reverse the claim I had previously filed. I reached out to my Bank right away and they reversed the claim and $688 was debited from my bank account and credited to Gold's Gym in late September 2024.
