They are open both indoors and outdoors. Easy reservation system to book your place. Good selection of equipment. Space is not as new as the mid market one, but it is a lot larger. Even has a room just for all the doggos!

Love this Gym. Joined during the pandemic for the outdoor gym, stayed on because it was such a great place. All the equipment you need. The front desk and service staff are super kind and welcoming. Sets this gym apart from others. Charles is my dude! Lucky to have this gym so close! 🤙

The City has shut down indoor fitness and Fitness SF is still trying to bill full price for January membership. The are saying I can exercise outside under a bridge or rent a car to drive to another Bay Area county. This allows them to charge 90$ for a month when Covid is at its highest and the gym on my credit card statement is closed. Very dishonest! Cancelled my membership as did 3 others I know. I know the gyms are hurting but don’t take it out in your customers by pulling a fast one. As of this review they still refuse to credit me for January despite the gym being closed (I don’t want to go to another location in the cold/rain for a full price rate).

Canceled my membership of 2 years after being aggressively confronted by a trainer (tall, older white guy, trains seniors) for setting up a deadlift workout on the padded flooring during a weekday afternoon. His reasoning being that the weight of the barbell would damage the floor.A few things here: (1) I had not even started deadlifting yet, and I was already being screamed at, (2) I have seen countless members and trainers deadlifting on the padded floor.Regardless of this rule and its arbitrary application, I would question what kind of business signs off on trainers approaching their patrons like that. And to Jonathan, the general manager, who followed up with: We dont love having to section off space in our gyms when we have to pour new concrete to repair safety hazards from dropped weights -- thanks for assuming I can lift weights that would cause structural damage to the building, I guess?

Such an amazing place I really love this place cause it’s a real gym unlike those fancy boutique gyms you feel good in these places and the people here are super nice

So far I love visiting this location for my workouts. 👍🏾👍🏾.

Cant say enough about how adaptable SF Fitness has been to the Covid-19 related restrictions placed on local businesses/gyms by the state and City (which I support). They spent the initial lockdown developing an amazing app and reservation process to make it all work once they were allowed to reopen, and then during the most recent lockdown in two locations - including the SOMA location where I go - they brought a ton a equipment OUTSIDE to keep things up and running. The ability to continue working out during these tough times - and safely - has be a live saver. Could not recommend SF Fitness or the folks that run this place more.

Towards the end of 2020 I decided to try working with a personal trainer for the first time and was fortunate enough to get paired with a smart and professional trainer named Victor Herrera. Victor was very patient with me and listened to my goals early on so that we could maximize our time together. Each workout was definitely challenging, but Victors calm demeanor and explanation of the body mechanics involved in each exercise helped me stay focused. Along the way he introduced me to almost every machine and free weight exercise I could take advantage of at the gym. This opened a huge door for me in my personal workouts, and now that I am back in to a solo routine I have a large vocabulary of exercises I can do. Great experience and great trainer. Also, it is clear to me how hard Fitness SF has worked to remain open during the pandemic while keeping everyone using their facilities safe. I go to their SOMA location in SF and it has been a life saver to still use the gym through these challenging times. To all all the kind, thoughtful, and hard working staff I would like to say thank you!

During quarantine its basically the only gym available in the city. The outdoor area is great. I didnt give 5 stars for a couple of reasons: 1- 55 minutes is not enough for me to finish my work out. 2- the app is very unstable. I have to kill the app many times just so I can make a reservation or open the QR code. 3- membership is more expensive than other gyms in the city that either offers the same experience or better. On the positive side, the crew is very friendly, the members are most of the time respectful with other members, they kept adding machines and increasing capacity which I really appreciate. I just dont think Ill keep my membership once quarantine is done because of how expansive it is.

EDITED 1/5/21.GREAT Outdoor setup! This gym was a savoir during 2020!They have really responded spectacularly during the pandemic. Indoors is closed but there is room outside, under a big tent and under the freeway, for 70 people to workout completely socially distanced.100% adherence to masks!!!I worked out yesterday in a rain storm under the tent and didnt get wet!Lots of equipment has been moved outside.The trainers have a separate area too.Great gym. Lots of equipment and plenty of room. Wonderful trainers.Oh, BTW, the parking lot is no longer available for cars. Find parking on the street.

Theyve done a great job with the outdoor setup during the pandemic restrictions. A wide variety of machines are available outside now and you can get in a solid workout. The app is better than the previous disaster, albeit a bit annoying on load issues.

Didnt feel comfortable. Felt harassed by staff.

Great. Just the fact that they are going the extra mile to make sure we San Franciscans have a place to workout and take care of ourselves is beautiful. Yall are truly shining a light down on us in these dark times.

Very clean and nice people I love it here

The gym itself is great. They have tons of machines.Unfortunately, the way the gym is run makes it a super unpleasant experience.Its $200 to join, as they make you pay for the first and last month up front. This wouldnt be a big deal if not for the fact that you have to cancel by the 20th day of the previous month to not be charged for the following month. So lets say you cancel December 21st, you will get charged $100 for January, and the $100 you paid for the last month when signing up goes to February, such that you have to continue to pay for 70 days after cancelling (cancel December 21st, pay through March 1st).If you want to bring a friend, its $25 for the day. Thats 1/4 of what it costs for the entire month. Theyre more concerned with profit than the customer experience.The front desk staff is curt/unfriendly. Not the worst thing, but definitely a bummer at times.You have to schedule all your workouts through their app. This wouldnt be a huge deal if not for the fact that the workouts are only 55 minutes long. After 55 minutes, even if youre not done working out, you have to leave.Having to schedule your workout also means you cant work out whenever you want, and if something comes up (family, work, etc) and you cant make that time, you dont get to work out that day.Im sure theyll respond with some rebuttal about Covid, but just for comparison: Anytime Fitness is only $45/month, $10/day to bring a friend, they dont make you schedule appointments, it isnt crowded, and they have locations all over the country in case you like to travel.

Great spot and location! Staff members are reslly kind and cool! Equipments and general exercise machines are in great almost new.

Long term member here. It is more for the crowd that wants to workout vs anything else.

Great for outdoor workouts during COVID. It gets packed and you gotta wait for machines, but you know what, we understand and we appreciate what they can do for now.

The gym has done a fantastic job to keep social distancing and an efficient space to work out. YOu can choose to work out outside or inside. I love this place. Everyone is very respectful and the gym is professional.

This is one of their bigger locations with lots of equipment and barbell racks. Plenty of parking and centrally located. Good people

Wish i could come....ask close yet so far. Btw i still need to get my backpack out of the locker

Great gym and great people doing all their best to keep us safe and fit

One of my favorite gyms in the city before the WFH policy and I’ve moved out of the city. Missing the days I took vinyasa yoga and HIIT group classes there. Hope the stuff stay safe and healthy. I will be back.

Ive been coming to FITNESS SF - SoMa for about 7 months and I can tell you its unlike any other place and experience Ive ever had. I was recently gone for an entire month on vacation and coming back was as if I had never left... minus the fact that Im feeling all kinds of sore. While gone, I did Class Pass and tried Orange Theory, Barrys, and Spin and none of them compare to FITNESS SF - SoMa! The first two focus a lot of time on running and there isnt enough variety in each individual workout. Who likes spending 20-30 minutes on any given day on a treadmill? For that let me just go to my apartment gym.

I’ll be honest - I hadn’t gone to this location pre-quarantine. With Transbay and Embarcadero readily available and seemingly “cleaner”, the SOMA location simply is further down the list.However, I’ve enjoyed working out at this location since the coronavirus restrictions. Not only is there an entire outdoor gym (basically the size of Embarcadero’s ground floor) and free four-hour parking nearby, the staff are friendly yet stern with time limits and sanitizing - that gives me further comfort to continue exercising at SOMA.Granted, the equipment is older, especially the dumbbells which are so old you can smell the rust, so I’m knocking off a star.

Love the outdoor set up.

Love this gym.

More equipment moved outdoors to accommodate more members!

Free ample parking. Good machines. Friendly staff. Clean facilities. E.O. toiletry products are nice.

Dont support silver sneakers

One of the largest gyms in SF. Great clean equipments & nice support staff

This gym would easily receive five stars were it not for two issues:- Too many members hogging the machines while on their cell phones and taking five minutes between sets. Ive been at gyms where cell phones are banned on the workout floor and the rule works. Ive brought up the issue with front desk attendants and they simply shrug their shoulders.- Mold in between the tiles on the workout floor.Otherwise, this gym has a reasonable fee schedule, is well maintained, provides convenient, free parking and excellent, up-to-date equipment. Towel service is free, and its generally clean ( except for the mold). It would be the perfect place to work out were it not for the cell phone issue and the mold.-

The GM is not professional and trainer Tony with a bad attitude.I would not suggest to be a member of this horrible place!

Great gym, equipment and employees. I’ve been a member for a number of years so I’ve seen the positive changes to the gym. I’ve known Alex Osborne for several years and he is definitely concerned about the wellness of his clients, the focus is on them !! Thanks for the great fitness tips as well. 👌🏿💪🏿😊

Out of all the locations in SF - this one is my favorite. For me space & equipment are the most important features and this location offers that! Its not the closest to me but its worth it for me because it has plenty of the same machines, you dont have to wait for that ONE machine. Also compared to Mid-Market location where machines stay broken - over here you dont find that. Tots love this location.(Staff is friendly + place is clean but so far all Fitness SF locations are.)

Arbitrarily closed all day with no explanation. I pay for access to this gym and they close it with no explanation? This is an unreliable business. If this trend continues, I plan to cancel my membership.Response to the response: It was arbitrary to me since no staff member, including the manager I spoke with could give me any details on why the gym was to be closed all day. I do not want to pay 100/mo so you have a venue for showings films. I did not sign up to attend one of your other gyms 20 minutes away. I pay money for this location and should be pro-rated for days you are closed for a film showing. I am shocked you think this is an acceptable business practice.

Great Outdoor gym.

Big and pretty serious equipment. Crowded during peak hours (5 min waits for bench press). Really annoyed by the desk workers who announce that the gym will close in 60, 40, 30, 20, 15, 10, 5 minutes. Makes the best/least crowded hour unpleasant to workout. Several of my friends and I have emailed them about this and theyve ignored us.When youre kicking 25 people out at 9 pm on Saturday, its a pretty good sign you should stay open later.

If you are a serious lifter this is the only real lifting gym in SF. They have independent trainers if you need one (they also have house trainers who are useless, like at every other gym). Equipment is kept in perfect shape, and is very strategically placed. Lots of experienced lifters, can always get a spot from someone if needed. Easy to find a workout partner if you want one. Can get a great post-workout shake at the cafe, made from quality ingredients. Parking right across the street.

This is a great gym compare to others. Their bathrooms are good compare to other gyms. They always have lots of towels available. The entrance people are not so friendly. Instructurs and classes are great at this location.

Best gym in the city

FITNESS SF - SOMA LOCATION: Great gym, reasonable membership price, free parking, clean facilities, fitness classes included in membership. They also have a pet room to keep your dog while you work out! I do wish the monthly schedule of classes was varied more (I’m consistently not able to take the class I really like due to my 9-5 work schedule*) and a few times I’ve been to the gym late and the sauna/steam room has been turned off in the ladies locker room at like 8pm—when I ask the front desk to turn it on, they say they don’t know how to. All in all though, I would definitely venture to say that FITNESS SF is the best quality for price in the Bay Area.*I want to clarify this with a caveat: they actually offer the class at different times at their other locations in SF, I am just a creature of habit/also lazy and prefer SOMA to some of their other locations.

They promise great parking but never monitor their parking lot so it’s always full of non-members.

Great to be back in the gym!!

REALLY big gym! Lots of space, lots of equipment, can get crowded and empty out really quickly - right around the time you realize there are a lot of people, its already thinning out.Also one of the only locations (maybe the only one) that allows outside trainers.

Love this gym! A lot of machines. The ceiling is really high which makes it cooler and spacious. Hot guys all the time too! 🤩

This is a great gym. Ive always been a patron of 24 hour fitness because of the location options, but this particular FITNESS SF has an open, loft-like feel that gets me every time. Not only are the patrons in shape but you can tell everyone has the same goal in mind and has achieved it with this workout facility.The sales team could use a little work. The guy who signed me up was a little sketchy in his promises but at the end of the day if I could afford two gyms Id reconsider signing up... again.

Overcrowding causes serious issues. Management are notoriously difficult to deal with. I was considering using one of the trainers. Turns out he wasnt certified as a personal trainer even though he claimed to be certified with 3 different agencies. Buyer beware! (Its easy to check a certificate. Just call up the agency and theyll tell you right away.)

One of Best gyms I have ever been to. Granted, I have only been to 24hr and golds. And the other sf fitness branches. But this place is great! It would be perfect if it had a pool and hot tub time machine!

Friendly and good pricing.

Wonderful and friendly staff.

The gym is full of great equipment and all of the staff is friendly and attentive. Since signing up I have started with a personal trainer, Aaron. Hes great and after only 3 weeks I really am feeling a difference. I would highly recommend this gym of all those Ive tried in SF.I recommend Aaron Miyasaki as a personal trainer with the highest regard. He is great to work with and will get you to laugh between squats.

1. Deceptive management constantly raises rates for training and members without notice.2. The management seems more interested in installing flat screen TVs than good equipment. Much of the equipment is extremely old and worn out. The equipment they do replace works just fine.

No nonsense gym. Im coming from Equinox, so dont expect fancy equipment and eucalyptus towels. This gym is full of old school equipment and the people that go here know how to workout. Used to be a golds gym, so it still has the same clientele. Friendly people, good facilities and FREE parking in SF!!!

I have to say my respect and admiration of this place, its owners and staff have never been higher. Prior to bring allowed to reopen I had a meeting with fitness director Maria Stevens to see about personal training ( which was at the time the only gym time available to anyone ). She was awesome, she really went above and beyond trying to find a plan and a price I could afford, I can not say enough good things about her. She probably with out knowing it completely reinspired me again. I wish I wasnt so poor these days it I would have hired a trainer . Flash forward 2 weeks . The outside gym opens, and a few days later the inside . Again the owners and the staff have outdone them selves. The reservation system allows members to make the best of the limited capacity and still be safe and works perfectly ! Once there, you can choose outside or inside, face masks required, they provide bottles of sanitizer and towels to.clean equipment after use and have staff roaming cleajjng the entire time . I have missed this place so much, and Im glad they made it through the nightmare . at this time no locker rooms or showers, but bathrooms are open . Love this place. There 6 days a week, staff is great, very helpful and nice. Free towel service. Most members put thier weights back when done, clean, good equipment, big space.

I was a memeber when this gym BEFORE it opened its doors and was known as Golds.I was told I had a lifetime membship that would never have a price increase...that was a LIE.I have since quit and joined Crunch ...and they are LESS than Sf Fitness.$80.. A month.

Love this gym. Excellent classes. People are super friendly. Very spacious, Ive never had to wait for a machine, sometimes a little for some weights. Members are encouraged to bring their dogs and the staff keeps an eye on them at the front.

Best gym in SF

Good value gym. Lots of equipment. Gets crowded after work.

Location is rather good with friendly staff. Well equipped and very clean facility. Just missing a sauna or steam room. That would get it 5 Stars.

Love the gym, equipment is great, but ventilation is basically non existent and only have fans.

Love this gym. Im here Everyday after work.

Nice gym. Crowded after work. Less crowded after 8pm. Monthly dues a little expensive at $100+/month and consumer unfriendly membership policies - i.e. prepay first and last months dues and must give 15 days notice for cancellation in order to avoid an additional months dues.Edit: Regarding Fitness SFs response - I think those policies are unfriendly, you think theyre fine. But this isnt your review of your own services. This is *my* review of your services.

Decent gym with decent fitness classes. About 80:20 men:women so the cardio machines are always available. Paul Hoyos’s classes are amazing. Gina’s Sunday Zumba class brings people from all corners of the Bay. Wish they had a spin studio here as well as more free floor space. But all in all a good value.

I work out there. Good place. Good equipment

Lots of space and good variety of equipment. Even when busy its possible to get in a good workout. Great classes, especially yoga.

Large gym filled with fit people. I get it. I hate gyms but my trainer trains out of here. Thats good. Its friendly and low sales pressure, thats also good. But ya, I hate gyms.

This is (by a good margin) the best fitness SF (although I have not been to Castro).The equipment is great, overall everything you want from a gym.

Been going to this local gym. On the smaller side but i dont ever feel like i have to fight anyone for equipment use. Great options for people interested in classes as well.

Its outside so I was freezing.

This place is so beautiful and healthy. You can download a free pass. So clean.

Great Gym, showers, lockers, staff, parking, Diverse people, pet friendly, all types of equipment, decent price.SF Fitness just the best ;)

I love Gina’s Zumba Monday 730pm and Sunday 1030am. One of the best classes. This gym is very well located, close to Trader Joe’s and MUJI, Safeway.

Way to expensive. $100 a month for a membership of only in SF gyms thats Redick.. srsly $100? Midwest people working in tech ruined this city. cuz even golds gym which this used to be, was never $100.. thats so crazy people actually pay for that. also no discounts for persons with disability. just a another greedy grubby company that operates in SF.

The place is really awesome and the staff is great . The reason for only the 4 stars is more of a personal preference, I wish the locker room was a bit bigger.

Fantastic gym! Love the music, nice crowd, machines are in great condition. Hours are solid too.

Parking is on the street and is limited. Big open floor space for working out. Locker rooms are clean.

It has all the equipment I need.

Its a clean gym the weights in equipment or really really nice the people in the environment is really nice I just feel sometimes people stare at somebody or pay attention to somebody else a little too much like other members I would say

This is the biggest group of deuces I have ever seen in one place. These people are rude, inconsiderate and have no respect for others. They sit at stations and talk on their phones or they monopolize two-three machines at a time. The other day this woman put a towel on a machine and walked away. She returned 15 minutes later to finally use the machine. This is common behavior in this place. The management doesnt want to say anything because its mostly their regular customers who conduct themselves in a such an obnoxious manner. The trainers are equally bad. If you can ignore the denizens and just work out...its tolerable. Go b4 5:00!

Decent equipment, aesthetically pleasant clientele. Ridiculously overpriced day passes. It’s some kind of warped sense of nostalgia that makes me want to work out here. The price for a workout for someone visiting the city briefly is just wrong. Often difficult to find parking.

Large and very busy traditional-style gym, previously mostly during the evening rush hour, but now even at the 5am opening time.They did a nice job with the bathroom renovations. Finally, they are replacing some of the old creaky and partially rusted equipment. And with Fitness SFs continued succession of monthly fee increases, they really need to bring more of the equipment up to date to show clients what we are getting for our dues. The cable machines are an abomination and need to be replaced forthwith.Still, in view of this gyms previous association (and withdrawal from, following customer protests) the rabidly homophobic Golds Gym franchise, Fitness SFs recent alliance with the Salvation Army (the gym sent out a fundraising appeal for the S.A.) is concerning, given that religious organizations previously well-publicized anti-gay stance. A better -- and local -- choice of charities that many of us can support is Glide Foundation.

Loads of equipment. Open for design. Nice locker rooms and showers.

Free parking. Great trainers . Well kept equipment. Well lit with skylights.

Great space it’s big enough to handle the busy parts of the day.

Fantastic gym! Hours are solid great and the equipment is excellent.

A couple of nice people at the counter with a bleach blonde girl who is extremely rude. The place is full of wannabe trainers. I would say a third of them are actually fit and seem to know what theyre doing. The parking lot is a crapshoot in terms of it being clean. For the $85 monthly membership fee, this place should be on their a game 24/7.

Im a fan of the location, the equipment is pretty good when not being used (very busy gym), however, its like 98% guys

Lots of cardio machines - never had to wait. Great people and not a bro-ie feel. The classes are also great (viper with Paul is a must).

Lots of great equipment. This gym is quite spacious as well. Even then, the one drawback is it can get really very full during peak hours.

Great gym - a lot of equipment for weightlifting, cardio, and power lifting. Staff is friendly and locker rooms are great too (showers, sauna, steam room)

Lots of equipment, including new squat and deadlift racks. Nice showers with glass doors. However it gets super crowded during the after-work rush.

Awesome place with enough fitness machines

One of the larger gyms. Easy to get in a great cardio and weight training sessions

Even when it’s busy it doesn’t feel crowded. Lots of space, well kept, dog room and free parking—what more do you need?

They didnt allow me to bring a friend out of town for free just once. The locker room is really crowded - always have to wait to get to my locker after the workout or the shower. No sauna/steam and one of the highest monthly rates Ive ever seen for such type of a gym. Customer service is not that great either

Really nice gym. Great locker rooms, towel service, and up to date equipment.

So far I love this place it’s very clean and the staff is friendly... as a former 24 hour remember it’s hey huge upgrade.

Usually very busy. You have to bring your own lock for the locker room lockers.

A little to cluttered and the free weights are kind of outdated. Yet the staff makes up for any downfall and the overall feel in the gym sends great positive vibes
