Pound 4 Pound Athletics - Richmond (CA)

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.

v َ I am so satisfied with my experience at this gym. The gym is very clean, with a good arrangement of free weights, equipment and cardio machines for its size. Out of the other Anytime Fitness locations in proximity, the Pinole location is the most well-maintained. Most of the equipment is Hammer Strength, so you can expect your machine to be functioning properly. They provide clean towels, snacks, and large amounts of sanitary wipes. You can tell that the management actually cares about their members. The environment feels comfortable, non-judgmental, and is rarely crowded. However, I’d say check the app to see when peak hours are, as the amount of people can get a bit overwhelming around that time. Another nice perk is that the key fob gives you access to any Anytime Fitness nearby, so you have 24hr access at all nearby locations. This has come in handy quite a few times! A bonus for those who have had poor experiences with nearby gyms: I’ve had a great experience with the staff. They’re kind, understanding, and most importantly… non-predatory. Talk to them yourself, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Such a positive experience is rare, and something that drove me to leave this review. Overall, I’d say it’s a great choice for who prefers a small, comfortable and clean space for their workouts!

Kenneth Stengel Awesome gym with great classes.

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!

Luigi Oldani 10 out of 10. Mark is a great trainer and has a wonderful operation going with his gym and availability to do virtual sessions and kettle bell classes. I started fresh with mark, I hadn’t been getting regular exercise for a long time. My body hurt; grunts and groans as I moved through the day, lots of aches and pains even first thing in the morning. I now see mark 3 days a week. My body feels strong and pain free from the start of my day throughout my daily routine. And I don’t think I’ll ever stop a regular exercise routine using the gym techniques he’s taught me. I can’t endorse him enough.

Lila Orangi I’ve been taking the Zumba classes with Alejandra at Berkeley City Sports Club @ 8:30 AM, and I love it. Alejandra has a diverse and energetic style; motivating everyone to dance and have a great time. She provides excellent and easy to follow instructions with high energy and enthusiasm suitable for all levels. She also includes new, fun music and choreography to each class. I totally enjoy, get a great workout at her classes and feel more energetic after the class. I highly recommend taking a Zumba class with Luisa Alejandra T.

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!!!

Karla Sainz This gym is great! Been going here for about 2 years now and the strength gains are there - if youve never tried CrossFit, thats okay because the coaches here are great at meeting you where youre at.

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.

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.
