I cant say enough great things about Jenns coaching and Game Changer. I used to go live, but eventually my work schedule got in the way. I really missed her classes and my fitness level really suffered. The one good thing about the SIP is that now I have had time to focus on me, my health and fitness. Jenn adapts to any situation - she has offered parking lot classes and now offers a zoom (live and recorded) alternative. Her energy is upbeat and the content is always changing. The GCF community is very supportive. No matter what level you are at, Jenn can adapt the workouts for you. I am in the best shape ever - and more importantly, the workouts keep me relaxed and positive. Come and try it - you have nothing to lose (except perhaps weight and a change in attitude)!

I was searching for a gym that held fitness classes on Zoom due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Well, I found it! Game Changer Fitness! What a “gem” (gym). It’s a wonderful community of caring and fun people. Jenn Lynch is an awesome leader—she is also the owner. She makes you feel right at home—but don’t get too comfortable. Her workouts are designed to make you push yourself. If you don’t, you’ll be called on it—there is NO slacking. Her goal is to make you stronger and be the best you can be physically (and that, in turn, makes you better mentally). Her gym’s motto—Work Hard, Get Results—says it all. If you are looking for a warm and welcoming fitness gym, CGF is for you! All levels of fitness are available—get in touch with her and find out how she can help you. And, once the pandemic is over, classes will also resume at her gym.

Jenn has created a great gym with a welcoming community! Working out here with the live video classes has kept me sane and healthy during this pandemic. I highly recommend joining if you want motivating daily live and recorded video classes and outdoor classes (6 days per week, Monday-Saturday!). There is a strong emphasis on doing what feels right for your body and achieving your own goals, whether you are just to get moving a few times a week or training to win your next Spartan race.

Wooo! Game Changer Fitness is keeping us going through WHATEVER comes in 2020 and beyond, with TWO daily Zoom classes that are fun and challenging! Great group of kind, motivating folks to help you and cheer you on! Plus dogs— if you’re a dog lover this crew is especially for you! Join us from wherever you are, you won’t regret it!

Ive been going to GCF for five years, and during the pandemic, its been more important to me than ever! Jenn can adapt to literally any level of fitness...or adapt to a pandemic with Zoom classes! Whether Im working out at the gym or at home on Zoom, I always get a great workout and I feel great about myself. Thank you Game Changer!!

Ive been coming to GCFitt for over a year now, and have made some great friends here! The workouts were what drew me in, the community is why I stayed. I work out more now (during the pandemic) than I ever did before, and I am SO GRATEFUL to Jenn and Jackie for continuing to work with us and provide socially distanced classes outside and over Zoom. Keeping a consistent routine has kept me incredibly grounded, and I am grateful to see the smiling faces of my buddies up to six days a week! The beauty of the Zoom workout classes is you can be ANYWHERE in the world to tune in. Joining live is always fun, but if you cant make the 7 am or 5 pm times, (or 10 am Saturday), Jenn/Jackie share a video for you to take class on your own. I cannot recommend my gym highly enough...come check it out.

Ive been going to Game Changers Fitness for 3 months now and can affirm that it is a great place for beginners and more advanced fitness goers alike. Jenn (owner) is very charismatic, attentive, personable, funny, and professional. During covid she has followed all of the guidelines and ensures a safe environment for everyone working out. She offers progressions and regressions for each exercise and accommodates people with injuries. Her workouts are challenging, but extremely rewarding. She has a lot of fitness equipment such as: kettlebells, dumbbells, slam balls, boxes, and medicine balls that she incorporates in her workouts. She also offers zoom classes and has cute dogs that she brings around from time to time. The space is definitely a great environment with great people and worth checking out for yourself.

If you cant remember the last time you worked out, if all you do is workout, and if you are feeling down and need a community to lift you back up, GCF is your spot. I found GCF almost 3 years ago. In it I found a routine that made me physically and mentally stronger. Jenn (the badass coach /owner) quickly became a mentor and friend and has the incredible ability to help you find, trust and exceed your potential. GCF is a community of welcoming fellow GCF-ers both human and dog. Jenn has kept us all sane and motivated through this new normal by offering Zoom and outdoor classes that are as fun (and hard, like the good hard!). I cant recommend and support GCF enough - dont over think it, try a class and start your adventure to the top of your game!

I’ve been going to Game Changer consistently for almost five years, and have never once been bored or felt any desire to look elsewhere for a gym. Jenn is an incredible coach who pushes everyone to work their hardest, while being totally accommodating to physical limitations. Her energy is infectious, even at 6am, and even over Zoom. She’s got a lot going on to help everyone get an amazing workout in during covid restrictions, for which I’m so grateful!

Jenn has built an inclusive and supportive workout community at GCF. Since the pandemic started, Jenn moved her 6 day a week classes to zoom and, recently, to the gyms outdoor parking lot. The live classes are twice a day on most days and you can also access the workout videos any time. The classes are tough, the exercises change daily and its an incredible workout.

This place changed my fitness life years ago and it has gotten be through this shelter-in-place in shape and sane. Trainer Jen crafts amazing workouts for all levels and both she and the great GCF community all provide the gentle accountability I sometimes need to stay on track. Do your life a favor and join!

Pretty organized and open location. Fun peg board, rings, pull up bars, etc. Theres a private restroom too.

I have been going to GCF for a little over a year now, and it is awesome, pandemic and all. I was first drawn to GCF because of its inclusivity, and the fact that the workouts are so intense but also adaptable to a variety of levels. Now, through the pandemic, Jenn has consistently been teaching 2 classes a day, over Zoom and outside/socially-distanced. The workouts are intense and gratifying, even if I sometimes feel like Im going to die a little. Jenn gets me to do workouts I would never otherwise convince myself to do, and the thing about her workouts is you can feel the results almost right away, and see them super shortly after. As a bonus, if you have a dog, or like to be around dogs, this is the gym for you!

Game Changer is an awesome community whether you’re taking zoom classes or social distance classes in the parking lot. The coaching is spot on and GCF has helped me keep some of my sanity during COVID. Thank you Jenn for your great coaching. Bonus for being super dog friendly!!

Hello. Sorry for the confusion. You are correct as this was for a restaurant but I cant seem to remove the review and the fact that you responded gets a 5 star. Ive attached a picture for reference.

If youre looking for either in-person (outdoor in the parking lot) or at home (zoom) workouts during COVID, I highly recommend GCF!!! Jenn creates challenging and fun (as fun as burpees can be!) workouts that she changes frequently so they stay fresh and dont get boring. The community of people at GCF are also excellent. Come support this awesome female-owned small business!

Im so thankful that I found Jenn, Jackie and the Game Changer Fitness community 2.5 years ago. Bootcamp/HIIT workouts are my favorite way to sweat and get my heart rate up and having virtual zoom and outdoor socially distanced workouts during these crazy times has been a lifesaver. Gym-owner and coach Jenn even sends you the recording and a PDF to workout on your own time if you cant or dont want to make it to a virtual or outdoor class. Jenns enthusiasm and energy are infectious and her daily workouts fun and challenging! Jackies Saturday morning bodyweight workout is a great way to kick start the weekend! Highly recommend getting fit with the Game Changer community!

This place has it all. Great trainer, great workouts (with lots of variety and modifications for any fitness level)! The community Jenn has built is 1st class. We care about each other, support each other and challenge when needed. Come find out what makes this place rock. You WONT regret it. Its been almost 3 years now and I havent.

I love 💕 this place! Jenn is a great instructor and a person! She achieved a lot in her life, and she motivates and inspires others to grow. Her classes are full of positive energy. Tough, but fun workouts are well thought through. Gym equipment is great, with everything necessary for classes. I come here every week to improve my conditioning, and enhance my powerlifting performance. People in classes are friendly and supportive. I’m glad I found this place!I definitely recommend this gym to everyone who wants to become healthier, stronger, mentally tougher, and happier while enjoying struggle.

Great facilities! Appointment only. Needed a boost when I was in town and they absolutely provided. Great location too.

The classes and community at GCF are an important... no... a vital part of my life. Ive been a regular here for years now and Im stronger and healthier than Ive been in most of my adult life. Theres a great balance of challenge, guidance and fun that keeps me coming back. There are classes for every level of fitness, so youre sure to find something that suits your needs and youll never be bored or discouraged. I love this gym.

Best gym I’ve ever been too, hands down.

My partner and I have been going to Jenn for 2:1 personal training sessions for a year now and weve seen awesome results and have had a blast all the way. Jenn tailors each of our sessions and knows both of us well enough to push us hard individually without feeling like were working with a drill sergeant. Highly recommended!

Something I never thought Id say: I miss the gym when I dont go. A tough work schedule in the Fall made me realize just how important GCF has become to me. I missed the workouts, I missed my friends, I missed Jenn. I missed everything. Im getting back to my regular schedule, and already feel fantastic again. Amazing how a trial has turned into a lifestyle. I couldnt recommend this place enough. Experienced exerciser? This place is for you. Unsure newbie (like I was)? This place is for you.

Been working out here for almost a year - the workouts are fun and challenging and the community is great! Been to a lot of the classes as well as consistent personal training sessions with Jen and I would highly recommend. You feel great after a workout at Game Changer!

Great gym!

I love this gym. Ive been going for the last 6 months and my life has changed. I had nevwr exercised before and I never imagined i would make it past 1 week. Jenn the owner and trainner is also really amazing! For all levels

You dont find a better gym in this area! Jenns infectious energy combined with awesome members with their positive vibe will get you moving and make you come back for more.Go GCF!!

Ive been working out at Game Changer for over a year now, and I cant imagine my weekly routine without it. Jenns classes are great for all fitness levels and the regulars are always friendly and encouraging.

Becoming a member at GCF is one of the best decisions Ive made for myself in terms of health, fitness, fun and community. All of the instructors are great role models, and keep us challenged, motivated and coming back. Jennifer Lynch is the driving force behind the success of GCF, and besides being a savvy businesswoman, shows that she values giving back to the Oakland community. In addition to all that, is the fantastic community of people who are Game Changers, many of whom have now become great friends. Cant get much better than that!

Talk about a Game Changer !! I started attending classes at Game Changer Fitness a little over a year ago .I have turned my fitness level completely around. I believe the support,well designed classes and friendly community all contributed to a total life change.So if you are ready to work hard and have fun check out Game Changer !

Hands down best gym around and most enthusiastic trainers. Jennifer Lynch is relentless but motivating while being sensitive to everyones needs and that is a good thing when it comes to training!!

Game Changer Fitness is more than just a gym. Its a lively, supportive community that has made a big difference in my life and health.

Update: Jenn and GCF have totally adapted to social distancing and new COVID life by providing Zoom workouts and also outdoor workouts which I LOVE. I feel safe and comfortable working out here and its also super convenient to have the Zoom option given our ever-changing climate. Every workout can be modified based on what equipment you have or if you have an injury or other limitation.Prior review:I love this gym and the energy and people! Jenn and Jackie are amazing trainers and very welcoming. There is a great sense of community here with a local approach to working out. I had never done much with weights before working out here, and Jenn is great at teaching proper form to prevent injuries. If weights seem daunting, this is the place for you. Alternatively, Jenn will work with more advanced people as well. Each class can be modified for your particular level and comfort, and every day of the week is a little different to keep it fresh. Jenn is very encouraging as well, so if you need a kick in the butt on any given day or month, youll get it!

Game Changer has just what you need: workouts that will challenge you every time but are still achievable, regardless of your level, and a great community to keep you motivated and coming back for more!

Love this place. Super Oakland. Fitness supreme

Game Changer is a warm, friendly and enthusiastic group of Oaklanders committed to health and fitness. I appreciate the no attitude atmosphere and positivity that emits from the owner, Jennifer Lynch. Every class is different, challenging me in new ways, and the hour workout always flies by. Check out the high intensity interval (HIIT) classes and boot camps - they are my fave and Jenn is great about modifications and encouragement for those with injuries. Love for GCF!

Jennifer is great! Game Changers Fitness is fun, varied and a killer workout!

GCF is my absolute favorite gym in the East Bay. It is really fun to work out at GCF and I cant say that about most other places. The workouts are pre-programed and always different so you never get bored. These are also not sissy workouts. Be prepared to sweat! Each person can also modify the exercises based upon his or her ability. The head trainer and owner, Jennifer Lynch, is extremely motivating and is a huge reason why I wake up early to work out at 6 am most mornings. The GCF community will welcome you with open arms, so check this place out if youre looking to work hard and get results.

Overall, this is one of the better gyms out there.Its not as expensive as CrossFit, but its way more interesting than 24Hour Fitness and more varied than FLEX Circuit over on Piedmont. Plus, there is a 6am workout that fits perfectly with my schedule, sincer Im a morning person. If you like to work out the first thing in the morning, you set yourself up to succeed in other ways througout the day.Jen, the owner, is Cross-Fit certified (Level 1), so she incorporates some of those excercises in the workouts. I never knew doing a Box Jump could be so empowering -- I fact, I didnt think I could even do one, until I actually did it.The workouts are varied from HIIT to Boot Camp and Circuit, and because of the variety, the hour goes by quickly, and if you put in the effort, youll work up a sweat and feel great afterward.The community of exercisers are at varied stages of fitness but friendly and motivating and quick to show newcomers the ropes. Exercises can be modified to fit wherever you are on your own fitness journey.If youre looking for a reasonably priced gym that offers great workouts in a friendly non-threatening environment check out Game Changers.

Get results and have fun while doing it! GCF has it all!

Good choice of classes, and great for meeting with trainer.

Great for all levels!

Jenn is great and the classes are challenging, yet fun!

An amazing community
