Orangetheory Fitness - Pinole (CA)

Nominique Chico I can’t say enough great things about this fitness studio. The owner and main trainer, Coach Latona, is so passionate about helping her members reach their goals in the gym. I have been with Get It Girl since she started in 2018, and it’s been worth every penny. I lost 30+ lbs in the first year and maintained my weight loss consistently. GIG has a variety of classes, from bootcamp, hip hop step aerobics, cardio kickboxing, dance, weightlifting and so much more. No two classes are ever the same.

Yvonne Jefferson I recently decided to sign up and give this gym a try since it was in my neighborhood, and it was exclusively for women, and I’m so happy I did! I don’t typically like big crowds, especially in a gym setting, so this place was perfect for me! When I went in to sign up, they were having a class, and the staff and gym members that were there were so nice and welcoming. Having 24 hour safe and secure access to the gym is a big plus for me and allows me to be able to fit working out in my schedule as it allows. The gym is equipped with everything you need to have an awesome workout session, and at the times I go, there isn’t more than a few people in at a time, which is a huge plus for me. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve signed up, and I have found that I have been attending the gym more often than I normally would when I was with a larger commercial gym, and I feel like my work outs are more focused and efficient since I feel so comfortable in the space. It feels like my own home gym away from home!! You can really curate your work outs and experience to what you want or need. If you like group exercises and a community of women to work out with – they have that OR If you’re more into a more private, personal gym experience like myself, this gym has that too!! Really the best of both worlds. If you’re on the fence about joining, give the free trial a chance, you will be happy you did!

Susan Park My husband and I attend classes 3-4 days a week. We love the instructor lead program and see results in our weight, balance and strength. We are both retired, and like to bike, hike, kayak and ski. Bridges program is the perfect training to keep us healthy and able to do other sports without injury. It is almost like having a personal trainer without the cost. Each session can be tailored to individual needs. It is also a small community of like minded individuals who encourage each other to keep fit and to keep with the program!

Joseph Guthrie I have been going to Lakeridge for close to 10 years. Lakeridge is such a great place, clean, welcoming, and full of energy. The best part is the people, especially Cherie. She’s always so kind and friendly, and really makes you feel at home every time you walk in.

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!

Julian Roy Probably the best option for strength training in the Richmond/Oakland area. Power bars, combo racks, and calibrated plates galore. Heavy pulls and chalking up strongly encouraged! Would recommend!

Alicia Roy Bay Strength is a clean, friendly, supportive gym! I was new to weight lifting and the "Learn to Lift" course plus coaching were incredibly helpful to making me feel safe and comfortable with the exercises and equipment. The community of lifters and coaches is amazing and Im so happy to have found Bay Strength!

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.

Elana Marmorstein No matter your age, fitness level, or experience, taking a workout class at Happy Hour Fitness with Xabier will make you sweat and make you smile! He has an infectious energy, and paired with the workouts, really makes you want to push yourself in class. Every class is something unique and includes a great playlist. What really makes the studio unique in my opinion, is he has cultivated a group that all works together to push each other to be their best during the class. Classes always begin with dynamic stretching and end with core work and a cool down. I appreciate that Xabier always offers modifications for exercises to accommodate all fitness levels and is considerate of injuries or any barriers to exercise. If youre looking for a small fitness studio dedicated to fun workouts, fitness, and inclusivity, this is the place to be.

Kaley Berlin I already love this place. Brenda has brought my love for Pilates back to life and shes gone above and beyond my expectations from an instructor. I have been out of shape since spine surgery 2 years ago (and Covid times). I found this studio after looking for a smaller class size to feel comfortable in. I have been here now for 2 weeks and feel excited to be back at it - feeling strong and challenged in my body!
