Best places: Fitness centers in Berkeley, United States

👍👍 Seven years ago, I dropped in on a free “community class” at the Bar Method Berkeley studio and almost 1,000 classes later, I can say that it was one of the best decisions I’ve made for my physical and mental well being (which became even clearer during the long months of the pandemic!). From the ge...

👍👍 I’ve worked with Maile a few times and she’s fantastic. She really understands bodies and knows great ways to stretch them! She’s super friendly too. I checked out Stretch Lab today and had a great experience with Jade. She explained what she was doing and really listened when I talked. I felt loos...

Innovative facility providing training in acrobatics, dance & circus arts for kids, teens & adults.

👍👍 Well worth the time and money!! The intro interview convinced me right off the bat that this was the place for me when they asked inclusive, thoughtful questions about my mentality toward fitness, my fears, and my health goals. The coaches work hard to customize their work out plans, food plans, an...

Bright, colorful facility offering yoga & fitness classes, as well as massage therapy.

👍👍 This gym is awesome. Plenty of free weights so you never have to wait. Two power racks, a squat rack, a bench press and an incline bench press. Never have to hunt for a 2.5lb barbell weight. Lots of extra barbells so easy to fit in deadlifts wherever or easy to use an open power rack if the bench pr...

😠 A campus gym not opening at 6am is unacceptable given the tuition students pay. There was a line just to get into the weight room by 745am and then when you get in, every machine has 2-3 people waiting in line for it. I'll update this when they open at 6am. Top tier university and I'll have to pay...

😠 I used to love to come here. Pre pandemic this place was my decompression go to. I could always count on coming here getting into the flow and relieving my stress after a long day. 9/10 I’d fall asleep on the floor when it came to shavasana. I have insomnia, so that really said a lot. I was excited...

👍👍 They bring the high energy every class, every time! great place to work every part of your body in connected ways. Some days are sweatier than others, but it's always great way to get holistic fitness. Most impressive is how much personalized attention the small staff gives to its growing membership...

👍👍 Dropped in while visiting - Ben was very accommodating and knowledgeable, and all the members were very friendly and welcoming!

👍👍 I found the perfect gym and trainer at RGym. The gym equipment is well maintained, workout equipment cleaned regularly by staff/members and the space has good ventilation. Because the gym is small and has a membership that ranges in ages, it feels friendly and welcoming. I started working out with...

👍👍 Pros: -Friendly and helpful trainers! -It's a small gym so it has a nice family vibe. -They let you freeze your account when you go on vacation!!!! (5STARS) Cons: -Only 1 squat rack and 1 smith machine so during peak hours you might have to wait to get your sets in. -Expensive -Awkward leg press ma...

😐 They keep raising their prices so I can't really recommend PRS any more. For that price you could get an Equinox membership. Saturday "open mat" has drop in fees. Large facility, but still crowded. BJJ: The BJJ coach Joe is a blackbelt and all around amazing person. Joe gets 5 stars in my book....

🫤 Have been a happy member for about 20 years but that has changed. What happened to women's gym? Don't mind working out with adult men but some of the high school kids are too rude, selfish, and downright dangerous to be there without mature adult supervision. Shorter hours make it more difficult to...
