The GYM

If you are traveling for work and still want to keep that fitness routine intact, The GYM West Oakland is perfect! It was great for my nursing assignment in the Bay Area. 24/7 access, garage style gym, with recovery/PT available in house as needed. Month to month auto payments available. Cancel anytime. A wide variety of trainer styles available. Open Gym. Clean Equipment, shower available. Friendly staff. As someone who loves open gym style training, this worked great. Only thing that would make this gym even better is a leg curl/leg extension machine, but I was still able to get what I needed regardless! Thanks for the hospitality during my stay.

Kind and flexible staff and top quality equipment. They were lifesavers helping me keep up with my training program when I was traveling.

Chris and the crew are awesome, and create a welcoming environment for newbies like me. It’s great to see emphasis on technique and form over just pushing weight, which everyone I know that’s done CrossFit tells me to watch out for. It’s been a couple months coming to this gym and continues to be a lot of fun. Can’t recommend this place enough!

I started coming in September and really enjoy my sessions with Chris. He has good workouts and is very encouraging and supportive. Of the people I met, everyone is friendly and chill. Great place to come if you’re new to weightlifting or more advanced.

I wanted to start lifting weights and decided to try CrossFit after being inspired by a friend who lives out of state. I joined the GYM last August and it has been terrific. I hadn’t lifted weights much since high school and I was bored doing it on my own. Coach Chris, is a a great teacher and he is super patient with me. It has taken me a long time to learn the various skills and there are many that I’m still working on, but he is always attentive and kind. The workouts are completed within one hour with shorter focused periods of intensity. My favorite part about this gym is how much a community it is! It’s what I always imagined yoga classes would be like but they aren’t (at least not for me). Everyone is friendly and welcoming and lots of people hang out together outside of class. More than anything else, this is what keeps me coming back.
