This place is awesome! I was visiting from out of town and only in San Fran for a few days. I was looking for a place to workout that was quality - good workout, good format and good instructors. P13 was that! A smaller group class focused on strength training - with an attentive and friendly staff. I really wish my hometown had a place like this because it was just that great. Michael is such a great trainer and also very fun and friendly. If you live in San Fran - GO HERE! I’m sure it is one the few places that has coaches actually ate educated and know their stuff. If you’re visiting - GO HERE. same reasoning as above.
Let’s be honest, 2020 was a rough year for everyone. And yet to my surprise, I’m pleased to say that thanks to Michael, Thomas and the P13 team, I’ve been working out far more throughout the lockdown than in the “before times” and this has continued well into the soft-opening of San Francisco.If you’re looking for a new gym where you will be welcomed warmly into a new community yet challenged to continue to improve- look no further. These folks genuinely care about their people, put their hearts directly into what they do each day and want to see every participant succeed. Working out from home without equipment? No problem! They’ve got you. Old injury? Here’s a modification and the mobility work on deck will target some of those issues! Prefer safely-distanced workouts? On it.Without these folks and their empathetic, challenging and caring approach to fitness, I know I would have struggled in quarantine (both mentally and physical health-wise). Instead, I’m now in the best physical shape I’ve been in for years and truly, it’s thanks to the thought, intention and energy this team puts into each of their sessions with their community. Michael, Thomas, Chantal and P13 team- San Francisco is lucky to have you as part of the community.
I love project 13. I have been working the founders, Thomas and Nate, for over 3 years and really love the workouts, challenge, and environment theyve created. All workouts are different and are the perfect mix of cardio, strength and mobility work. Their goal is to individualize each day to your personal goals and train for longevity
The best gym, community and workout youll find in SF! Being new into San Francisco; joining Project 13 has been the best decision Ive made since moving.Nate and Thomas are not only the nicest guys in the business - they also live and breathe what they do and no one does it better. Their passion is contagious both within a group and individual setting - with consistent focus on providing you the best experience possible every time youre in the gym.Their workouts are as equally thoughtful as they are challenging, and applicable for everyone. Dont hesitate!
I’ve been going to Project 13 for a little over a year now and it has been a fantastic ride. Initially I was afraid of lifting heavy and really didn’t even know where to start with upper body. I’m happy to say that I can do all of TWO unassisted pull-ups and can bench much more than I ever thought I could.All that said and done, Nate and Thomas do an amazing job of creating a community of really great and fun people. They really work with you to make sure your form is on point and ensure that your individualized goals are coming along. These workouts are always the one thing I look forward to every single day.
Project 13 is an amazing place! I recently joined after training at a previous gym and the difference is palpable in many ways. It is clear that Thomas and Nate genuinely care about every person who walks through the door - whether its your very first visit or youre a long-time member. Nate and Thomas are enthusiastic about each class and provide a positive, supportive, and motivating atmosphere. Both Nate and Thomas are very conscious of form and ensuring everyone is comfortable with the workout. They always offer modifications or alternatives if a certain movement is not for you. I also appreciate the attention to detail in terms of programming. Every 6 weeks has a different focus, so you can track your progress and improvement. Previously, I was working out and felt like I was improving, but had no way to really know - thanks to Project 13, now I do! Ive also noticed that I never watch the clock to check when the class is over. Each class always keeps me engaged, challenged and focused. Finally and importantly, the culture at Project 13 is warm and welcoming. I look forward to being a Project 13 member for many years to come.I wholeheartedly recommend Project 13 and suggest that you try it out!
Nate and Thomas create such a fun, positive atmosphere where you can have an awesome workout. It is such a connected community where everyone helps everyone. This place is truly about building better humans!
Top-notch trainers, engaging classes, welcoming community, and a great workout. These folks really care about their members - they arent just numbers to them. Cant wait for them to expand to more locations!PS: The online HIIT classes during COVID are great! Love the weekend workouts outside as well.
Nate and Thomas have built a fun and positive environment — emphasizing wellness, intention and longevity — all while you sweat! The monthly training cycles work well for drop in workouts or if you’re looking for foundational skills/strength/mobility—using a mix of weights/ski/bike/row. The supportive energy will encourage you to show up, learn how to be a better and likely make new friends!
Excellent community at Project 13! I temporarily moved to SF and instantly felt welcomed in the gym. Challenging and well-crafted workout programs. Nate and Thomas are engaging, encouraging, and two of the best trainers I have ever worked with. Cant recommend enough!
Great facility: stylish and well designed gym space with quality equipment. But most importantly fantastic coaching and a friendly team - would absolutely recommend for beginners or seasoned gym goers / athletes. Only dropped by as visiting the city, but wouldnt hesitate in becoming a regular if I lived in town.
Im so glad I found Project 13. I feel like Coaches Nate and Thomas have made the effort to get to know me, and all the members. They give the specific technical cues and encouragement (or caution) that I need.The programming is a great mix of strength (barbell, dumbbell, kettlebell, med ball) mobility and conditioning.Ive also loved the members - glad I get to spend an hour every day with such friendly folk. Its not just hard work. Its fun.
Ive been going to Project 13 for about 4 months and its had a huge impact on my fitness and overall physical well being. Thomas and Nate are awesomely welcoming and positive, and theyve created a like-minded community. Theyre also incredible coaches - always on hand to encourage, answer questions and personalize the group workouts to suit individual needs. Finally, dogs are welcome. Need I say more.
Attended a class via Gympass and loved the experience. Great trainer and group of athletes. Next time I am in SF, I’ll be attending some more classes. Highly recommend.
The best gym, community and workout youll find in SF!

Meeting Nate and Thomas and working out at Project 13 has been life changing for me...After playing sports in college, I spent the last 9 years working out at 24 Hour Fitness and until I joined Project 13, had forgotten how I missed the camaraderie of working out with great people that push you to work hard and get better everyday.Nate and Thomas have built a great culture that reminds me of what it was like while I was playing at USC...amazing coaches who care about you and push you to work hard while in the gym but also challenge you to think differently about your habits, sleep and nutrition to reach your ultimate goals.
Love this gym! Workouts are great and customizable to different levels. Nate is awesome and super helpful, making sure your form is correct. Really nice facility inside despite the dodgy outside!
I met Nate and Thomas two years ago, and can never go back to my own sporadic, poorly-planned workouts. Not only is the programming keep you coming back far more frequently than you would working out on your own, but I have also met some incredible people. I would recommend signing up for a week trial to get an appreciation for the programming.
Id give 6 stars if I could. I followed these trainers from their last location because their training and community is better than any else in San Francisco.If youre looking for a new gym in SF, look no further than Project 13!
So much more than an incredible workout. Awesome community of people who push you to work harder (and then get brunch with you after).
Im a mom of 2 young kids - Project 13 got in the best shape of my life! Amazing, caring community.
In town for vacation and chose this place to work out.Nate really knows his stuff and I will be back for sure.Thanks Ray.
