My kids went to Xfit gym for the first time today for boxing boot camp. They had a great time! The gym is spacious but they use outdoors as well. Their boot camp today was for 3 hours and taught the basics of boxing. The trainers, Avery and Lance came around to each child and corrected them (gave them feedback on techniques) as well as encouraged them. This format makes the program great for beginners, as well as for more experienced students. The owner, Joe provided them with water, Cliff bars and apples. We'll definitely be back. read more

Great staff and group of ppl. So glad I found this place. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful.

I am so happy with my X-Fit family. I started right before the pandemic and being in this community has truly helped keep me manage my well being and keep my sanity. I am so grateful that everyone is kind and understanding especially when I bring my little ones with me. The instructors can be tough but are so respectful of your capabilities, whatever that may be or wherever you may be in your fitness journey. I also appreciate that my kids' Lil Ninja class starts after a class I like. It just fits with our schedule. As a plus, I've made quite a few mommy friends and we hang out with the kids outside of the gym. Thank you X-Fit! read more

We love lil ninja warrior class at X-Fit Training! My daughter and friends have gotten so much out of this course, especially during Covid. Joe Ruiz, the owner, is warm and friendly. He does great work with the kids and he'll even workout ‍ the parents! Tre is also great with the littles. They are super safe with Covid by adhering to all the state mandated protocols. They give each kid space outdoors; we feel safe. I asked my daughter what she loves about lil ninja and she says, with a big smile, "I love the zip line and the obstacle course!" Thanks Joe and Tre for training these kids. I see them using the skills daily. read more

See all

From my experience, going to gym was just a part of a routine: Go , put your stuff in a locker, warmup, do some weight training and stretch, pick your stuff out of the locker and leave. There were no conversations. It was like a business to do. Now, I've been a member of Xfitness for one year and half. Frankly, I am HAPPY every morning. Why? Instructors at Xfitness are all knowledgeable experts. They know exactly what to do. Since each class is relatively small, ( 8-10), the instructor can see us and give us advice individually. It is great to be instructed with care and attention by experts in workouts. Now, I'm 61 years old. I do marathons, swimming, tennis..and keep my high school weight. My health is so great and this whole thing makes my life bright! Join us! I want to say hi to new members!!! read more

X-Fit Training - Boot Camps Near Me - Pinole, California

Can't say enough good things about X-Fit. I continue to feel challenged every day, and I really enjoy the variety of workouts. In addition to evening classes, I started going regularly in the mornings; I love Mara's classes and appreciate her form corrections. I've gone through many local gyms, but the vibes here are the best and it keeps me coming back! read more

Kids ninja warrior class was fun and my son enjoyed it very much. We have been to both the pinole and el cerrito classes and both were great! Javier makes it a point to give 1:1 coaching to the kids, ensures they are having fun and is able to command attention when needed. Anytime I have questions with scheduling I have received great customer service either via text or phone call. read more

This Xfit Jr class is a great way to start the day! The instructors are organized and provide all the equipment. There was plenty of parking, too! I'll be back. read more

Joe and his team at Pinole X-Fit run a REALLY AWESOME operation. We've worked with them both for gym AND ninja kids parties. BOTH are run with kindness and efficiency, heart and soul. As a customer of the gym "in the old days" I'm confident in saying our local Pinole bootcamp training spot is Better Than Ever! It's an excellent local family business borh as a gym and for special events. The owner is patient, responsible and responsive and gives each step of your membership personal attention and dedication w no pressure or hype.Joe was prompt and hos attention to timelines and commitments are a REAL stand out. We're lucky to be customers! read more

What a fun workout! Lance is a great instructor and pays attention to detail. I will be jointing a lot more classes!

My almost 6 y/o went to the ninja warrior class once, and he said he really wanted to go back again, it's so fun with a lot of jumping games. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE!! Not only do you feel good on the outside, your self esteem gets built up as well. The trainers take a personal interest in the whole class. They recognize your limitations, but also know your potential and will push you if needed. My husband and I will have 2 years going to x-fit and do not regret the decision we made to sign up. Family and friends notice a big difference in us and we give a lot of credit to x-fit. Thank you Joe, Max and Kiki for all that you do. read more

I have been working out with XFit for several years and I love the workouts and trainers! Joe runs a great program that is good for beginners and even experienced individuals. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Every day is a challenging work out at Xfit with Joe and his team of coaches. It's never repetitive or predictable, so best be prepared for a tough but fun hour. Joe is always open for ideas and is continuously adding a variety of classes which I appreciate. Since Covid, Joe has methodically made it possible to get us back in shape while taking all necessary precautions. If you see a group of ppl at the Pinole location looking tired, it's because it's nonstop hardcore from beginning til the end. Honestly, isn't that what we want for our buck? Thanks Joe, Lance, Anthony, Dominic! read more

This place is exactly what I was looking for. It has been a month of working out there and I love it.

Awesome. I've been to Avory's class twice now. Imma keep coming back for sure. Training is excellent, instruction awesome.

I really enjoy going to this gym. Trainers seems to be very nice and provide fun exercises. I'll be back. Thank you!

We love X-Fit! Awesome family business with great trainers who help you to meet your goals. Give them a try and you won't be disappointed!

No organization kids ninja training sucked they have a lot of equipment and a good size place to make a good program for kids I can teach a better class with just a few cones. The only way I'll come back is if this place makes a 100% improvement read more

My 12yrs son really likes the boxing workout!!!

I absolutely love, Xfit training! A big shout out to Joe and Lance, for helping me along in my fitness journey. After working out here, I could never belong to another gym I feel comfortable I go at my own pace there's always modifications and no judgment very friendly, read more

I love the place all the classes are very fun

Worked out today. I liked the class. Very organized well planned. Everyone worked out to .their potential .

The coaches "beat us up" good...lol. I'm older, and all of the routines are not too extreme and can be modified nicely. Each coach has their own style so each workout is different and doable. And it's fun!!!! read more

Loving the classes and trainers and the community of students. It's not intimidating and I'm noticing a big difference by just going 1-2 times a week in my first 2 weeks. Definitely worthwhile and a great way to get in shape and feel good before you start your work day (7 am class in El Cerrito). My inspiration are all of my classmates but especially a 62 year old classmate who credits these classes for keeping her in amazing shape - she looks not a day over 40 & has the body of a 20 year old and a fantastic positive outlook. What better inspiration is there than that?! Love it! read more

Signed my son up for a lil ninja warrior class and it seems they can't stick to the scheduling they set. Online after signing him up the classes were set for Tuesdays and Thursdays. I showed up Tuesday to it being closed so I figured let me try Thursday. When I arrived the trainer said it's Thursdays and Saturdays. I'm now here Saturday and it's closed again... I paid for these classes and I don't seem to be getting my moneys worth. I'll be canceling and asking for a refund due to false advertisement and inconvenience. My son is now upset considering he loved the 1st class. Terrible for business. read more

Joe and Max have been amazing! I love XFit. The work outs are always fun, never stale. They are always helpful and caring about what someone can or can't do. They are helpful with supporting people and their goals. They offer one on one support and are 100% supportive when in the group setting. I love that they also push you a little further every time. They cheer you on when you need it and they are the first to express, well, when you need to hold back a little! LOL Did I mention how affordable they are? The drop in price and monthly rate beats anyone I have seen yet, and I'm a local gal! I really can't say enough great things about them. Wonderful team! read more

Fun but challenging. Awesome trainers who make everybody comfortable but motivate us to work hard. Hard to find a 5:30am workout and so glad I found this. Perfect way to start the morning. read more

You get a heart racing blood pumping muscle building sweat drenching work out! The workouts are always varied so you never get bored and you never know what you are going to get. And I feel free to do modified version if needed read more

I found this group after looking for a person trainer earlier this year. I was tired of trying to kick my own behind in the gym and needed some new ideas and inspiration. I found them on yelp and decided to check it out because of the awesome location and the early class times make it so I can knock out a workout and still make it to work. I have to say that my body feels better than ever after just a month of going 2 to 3 times per week. I have lived with some chronic pain over my life and the combination of the workouts and warm-ups/stretching have really improved my flexibility and I have had zero pain even through some pretty vigorous workout sessions. I am already noticing it in other areas of my life when I go hiking or play other sports. Everyone in the class is awesome and of course Joe and Max are great and make it fun. They pay attention and make sure everyone is comfortable and scaling to their own ability. So glad I found it. read more

A self-described dispassionate individual and one who is not easily impressed, I would like to give credit where credit is due on my first review. Joe and his talented trainers have done the impossible by wowing me with their workouts. I was unsure of what to expect prior to attending my first boot camp. While in attendance, I found the routines to be challenging and differed by trainer. All were patient, motivating, and correcting. Their routines varied, emphasized quality over quantity, and tested all of my muscle groups. In a very reasonable period of time, I have seen dramatic yet favorable changes in my energy level along with desirable physical transformations. Absolutely recommended! read more

I joined the XFit Training family back in July 2015 and I'm still here! I showed up out of shape and unsure if I would ever make fitness a lifestyle. I started personal training with Joe a few times a week at a pace and schedule I could work with. After a few months Joe talked me into trying a boot camp out - I was ready. It was hard... I'm not going to lie! But everyone is so nice and open here. NEVER are you pushed to do anything you do not feel comfortable doing and you are not expected to be as good as anyone else. All the trainers are informative, encouraging and friendly in a non-competitive atmosphere. In 2017 XFit Training signed up as a team (optional) for a Spartan Sprint Race. Never in a million years would I expect to push my limits this far. But I did it with the help from the trainers and my boot camp team. My 17 year old son even decided to join and loves it! Compared to other programs out there you can't beat the training price, knowledge, friendliness and support that you get here! I am now a happier, leaner and more balanced individual. To Joe, Kirsten, Derrick & Becky - Thank you! read more

XFit Bootcamp is pretty EPIC!!! My sister actually sent me to bootcamp for a month for my birthday this year and it was the best gift ever! I've attended a couple of other bootcamps in the past and I have to say that XFit Bootcamp is the VERY BEST. I recently moved to El Cerrito and finding this gem 3 minutes from my house is AWESOME. I go to the 5:30am classes during the week and the Saturday 7am class with MAX (3 times a week). I've been going to class for about 7 weeks now and I've been sore (a good sore - where you know you're body is changing) every day since I started. This is pretty phenomenal because it means we work different areas of the body, class to class, so you get the maximum benefit. MAX IS AWESOME!! He is the perfect blend of hardcore and sensitive to your individual needs. He is very attentive and makes sure you are doing the work but having fun. This is a tall order at 5:30am but he is great at it!! I look forward to going to bootcamp every time. If I could go every day, I would! read more

I have been working out with the Xfit Trainers, Joe and Max, for a year now and love it! I feel like I'm in great shape all over. It's never boring because the group is great and the trainers always mix it up with new 'toys' and exercises. Some of my friends are scared off by the 'bootcamp' name but don't be. You just work within your abilities. I go 4 days a week at 5:30 am and it works great with my schedule. I've never had an injury which I think is do to light weights and short duration. Come join us! ps I'm almost 60 so don't let age keep you away. Jane T. read more

I highly recommend Joe for personal training! I have been working with Joe for 6mos, and I have seen great results. Joe really knows what he is doing, and truly invests in my fitness goals, keeps it fun, and and is committed to the workout. I have worked with other trainers in the bay area prior to this, and they just don't compare. read more

I've been working out with Joe & Max since January 2014, and I'm definitely loving it! My concern about any workout program is that they all kind of "recycle" the workout, not only your body plateau after a while, you also get bored - at least I do! Joe & Max always change up the workout and make sure that we're challenged, both physically and mentally! I work out 3 times a week with them at their morning bootcamp. This schedule is perfect for me - I have no excuse that the workout is in my way! The best reward - 2 weeks ago, I bought a new dress for an upcoming bachelorette party in Vegas. When I tired it on, my husband immediately noticed, "Wow! Look at your toned arms!" Thank you, Joe & Max! read more

I have been working out with Joe for over a year i have lost 25 pounds thanks to Joe and X-Fit Training makes sure you get the best out of your workout .sometimes you just need that little push.Joe also teaches at Kaiser for the employees there.All i can say is I LOVE IT!! read more

What can I say about Coach Joe and X-Fit besides how awesome it has been for me and helping me get motivated to exercise. After I had my daughter my desire to go to the gym was a zero, so I bought myself a Spinning Stationary bike for the house...I have only been on it 6 times. Working out at home was not a good option for me. I finally tried X-Fit with Joe and I'm hooked! Joe puts together a great work out and drives you to want to do better for yourself. It's a small group which I also like; everyone is so nice and supportive of each other. I think the word "Boot Camp" can be so intimidating and I the Boot Camps I've seen look like torture. Joe's X-Fit is not a boot camp in that sense, it's a fantastic, exhilarating workout with friends that is totally "Doable". Don't get me wrong you feel the BURN ... but in a good way. read more

Overall the best! Loved training with Joe as he helped us get in shape for my sister's wedding. We are not a highly motivated bunch, but after feeling the difference and seeing results, we were motivated to keep going. There is never a boring session in these training classes. I appreciate how much Joe encouraged each of us to keep going and really tailored the classes to help us target the areas we were looking to work on. Would definitely recommend XFit Training to everyone! read more

XFit workouts are varied, fun, and structured so that every individual can rock it at their own fitness level. Joe and the other coaches are great motivators and knowledgable. This is a no judgement, no intimidation, bootcamp-style workout with a friendly group of people. Plus, you get to be outside in good weather AND there are a variety of class times (as a non-morning person, I thank you so much for offering evening classes!). For us it's been a great way to start getting back into shape and to meet some folks in the community while doing something together. This is totally unlike a drab, boring treadmill routine in some stinky gym. Try it; you'll like it! read more
