FITNESS SF - Fillmore

Jon A. 2 months ago

tl;dr: The gym itself is fine, but management's hands-off approach to enforcing basic etiquette makes every visit more frustrating than it needs to be. SF Fitness Fillmore is a decent enough gym on paper, but the experience gets old fast when you're paying the same membership fee as people who apparently think they run the place. Equipment hogging is rampant, we're talking 15+ minute supersets while someone's scrolling Instagram between sets, and I've personally witnessed one guy staking out *four* separate pieces of equipment at once. Weights left at machines or scattered wherever, including loaded 45s that nobody's touching. The gym itself isn't the problem. The people in it are. To be fair, the staff are genuinely cool and the emails management sends out about gym etiquette show they're at least aware of the issue. But awareness without enforcement doesn't really move the needle. When nobody working there is willing to step in and say something, the burden falls on paying members to either confront disrespectful people themselves, creating unnecessary animosity, or just silently eat it. Feels like a prioritization issue more than anything. A little accountability on the floor would go a long way.

FITNESS SF FILLMORE REVIEW Wow, this is a big review for me and I love reviews because now I’m reviewing a place that I’ve spent a lot of time in a Cavaness place known as SF Fillmore Let’s get back to the review. GOING DOWN THE STAIRS Well, you have to go down some stairs first before you enter this fitness SF once you’re down the steps you’re at the front desk and that’s where you scan and that’s where you scanning and then once you scan in, there’s many different directions you could go MASSAGE CHAIRS AND TOWELS to the far left is some nice massage chairs that I never tried out but they are there is a stretchy room/personal training room which I’ve never been in to the to the 1 o’clock is where the towels are kept and the towel room is if you go backwards, you’re going back up the stairs and leaving which she shouldn’t do if you want to see the gym CARDIO MACHINE MACHINES into your 9 o’clock a.k.a. the cardio is cardio machine machines like running machine and standing and stepping up machine and the machine where you kind of do a little Skippy skip with your arms and legs tied together and the bike machine and then across from there, so if you like to swim laps in pool, that’s where you go STRETCHY ROOM and then next to that is the stretchy room that’s a room with like Astroturf ground and stretch mat and the boxes you can jump on top of and don’t forget the long ropes from the wall and the and the rowing machine is also there enough about that have a whole you can see what else there is a gym. MULTIPLE ROOMS There is after the hallway multiple rooms. I really would love to know the history of this space because it is so weird and Cavanough and filled with different rooms. I wonder how it came to be if you enjoy living in a basement or foundation layer then you’re gonna love this place. This is the place for you. It is entirely underground. SQUAT RACKS They also have the two of the rooms are filled with squat racks which is very nice for a gym to have so many squat racks I would estimate like 12 squad racks total or something like that so if you squatting within racks, there is a place for you. MACHINES AND ITEMS TO LIFT They do have a good selection of machines and items to lift or move around however, there is one major downside, and that is too many people I think at all hours of the day that I attend there are too many people there are too many of me because of the number of the quantity of people you’ll find it hard even with the large amount of equipment to find space to work out SAUNA BEHAVIOR just add and sauna to the ladies room, which is very nice, but I never tried it I have, however, seen in the men’s sauna some truly bizarre behavior, including people wearing jeans in the sauna and more times the knot people listening to music on their AirPods or having their phone in the sauna, we’re gonna behave. Is that truly unbelievable better than the Castro one if you know what I mean it’s not going to that because we are reviewing fitness SF Fillmore location DARK AND UNDERGROUND what else is there to say? I think it is generally pretty Clean lots of good equipment, dark and underground in a good way but also in a troubling way now I think we’ve covered most of the being honest I give this place five stars stars two stars with room for improvement.

I joined this gym almost a year ago after trying out almost every other gym in the area. This one hits the sweet spot for size, location, price, equipment, and vibe. The staff and regulars are friendly, and I've never had a bad experience. The only feedback is that the wall clocks are almost always the wrong time. Shout out to Patrick Wayne and Angelina for being especially wonderful.

Besides the fact that they only have 1 or MAYBE 2 sets of 5 and 8 pound weights in the mat area, I am a dedicated fan of the saunas, showers, layout, vibe, etc….. I will say I hate when it’s super busy and I’m fighting for breathing room, but the staff is great, the culture is mostly great (just being a girl in a gym can be weird). Edit - minus 2 stars because I left some things in a locker and called them as soon as I got home to make sure it wouldn’t get stolen or thrown away and three days later it’s all gone but there is dirty undergarments in the lost in found

Great gym, but way too crowded to get anything done. Hard to stay motivated when I expect to spend 15+ minutes waiting for a bench. If I didn't need the pool I'd cancel my membership.
