Bridges Fitness - El Cerrito (CA)

Harald Leventhal Great staff, great trainers, great equipment, great location and reasonable rates for what they offer. They made me feel welcome after too long a hiatus due to the pandemic and my complicated health history. This is also a place that is comfortable for older patrons such as myself during the day. Cant say enough about them and so glad they weathered the pandemic and even upgraded some of their equipment.

Octavio Martin I’ve been training at Chaiyo Muay Thai for a while now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The coaches are highly skilled, patient, and dedicated to helping students improve, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced fighter. The gym has a welcoming, supportive atmosphere where everyone pushes each other to get better. The training is intense but rewarding, with a great mix of technique, conditioning, and real Muay Thai fundamentals. The community here is what really sets Chaiyo apart—everyone is friendly, motivated, and respectful. If you’re looking for a place to train in Richmond, this is the spot. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, or competition, you’ll find top-notch instruction and a great group of people to train with. Definitely worth checking out!

Mina Vlasic After a long time away from the gym, walking into IBX was exactly the push I needed, and Im so glad I found it. What truly sets IBX apart is the incredible, welcoming community. Its genuinely inspiring to see people of all ages and fitness levels training together. Theres no intimidating atmosphere here; the biggest competition you have is truly with yourself. The coaches are fantastic—they know exactly how to give you that gentle push and consistent encouragement without ever making you feel overwhelmed. Their guidance has been key in helping me get back into a routine safely and effectively. I also really appreciate all the additional member and community events and workshops IBX hosts. It shows a commitment not just to physical fitness, but to the overall well-being and connection of their members. If youre looking for a gym where you can find support, great coaching, and a non-judgemental community, especially if youre coming back after a break, IBX is the place to be!

Ben Emmert-Aronson This place is fantastic! We brought our kids to open gym last week for the first time and they didnt stop talking about it all week. Cant wait to use the dropoff movie night. The owner is great too, and the staff are very attentive and caring with the kids.

Michele McMahon Have been coming to the gym for a little bit over a year now. It’s been a great way to stay motivated and on top of my goals. The staff are super friendly and make it feel fun to make it to my daily workout. The instructors are great and have been able to give feedback on my forms form or alternative exercises when needed. Highly recommend going!!!

Heather Luikart Herro Fitness is not just a fun place to work out, but a community of fantastic people who cheer you on whatever level and whatever your fitness journey. Dawn and the other coaches/ instructors are fun, they put together great workout sessions and are always kind and supportive, weather you are leaning a new move or need a modification. Definitely recommend.

Wasim Younis Team Tufunga is a fantastic gym that houses a wonderfully warm community. Deciding to get a membership and invest in a personal trainer here have been life-changing for me. Im a complete gym beginner and starting in my mid 30s, but I felt a supportive environment as soon as I first entered. Simi, the owner, is also my trainer and Im so happy with my progress. Ive already lost 35 pounds in 10 weeks and for the first time in my life I feel in control of my personal health and fitness goals. Simi gives you the right kind of push and encouragement, and he has knowledge and insight backed up by years of experience. In terms of machines and equipment, the gym seems to have more than enough to meet the needs and demands of its clients, who range from beginners like me to experienced bodybuilders. The gym never seems to be so busy that there are waits for equipment. Everyone here is really nice and the community vibe here is so supportive. They offer group lessons and also host seasonal events for members. Its also open 24 hours. Highly recommended!

Jenny Staples I really liked the class I did yesterday. I am super sore today, but I’ll be back tomorrow. It went by really fast and was very effective. My abs and arms are both sore like I did a good job.

Kenny Moeller I cannot say enough good things about P4P and its proprietor. Jasper knows fitness. Hes an asset to the Richmond community. Pro boxer. Raised around people who approach the body with discipline. Knows exactly how to navigate injuries while building you up. At least two pieces of equipment Ive never seen before, one I hated and now I miss it. Not ready for a personal trainer? TKO classes are exactly what you need. Am I a walking billboard? No. But for the first time in a long time, I felt so good about myself. Im in better shape than I have any business being because the trust he engenders gave me the confidence to challenge myself to grow. I appreciate that he also looked out for me. Like inviting me to Thanksgiving at Richmond CoBiz. The only people hell be more dedicated to than you as his client are his children.
