XFit Training - Pinole (CA)

Lisa Leblanc Anne Rene is an amazing, challenging instructor. I have practiced yoga for many years and she brings out a new playfulness in an advanced practice. She has a deep understanding of the asanas, related spirituality and has great music!

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!

Donna A Southard Very nice, clean place, "serene" as someone else observed. People of all ages, respectful laid back environment. I have trained with Diane and she was fantastic, kept me on a pace that allowed for progress without pain. She knows her stuff and is very animated and encouraging. Now working out on my own, but in the future I plan to re-up with her. I have also observed other trainers and they all seem very committed and focused on the needs of their clients, who are mostly in the over 40 age group, as opposed to pushing some rah rah agenda more suited to professional athletes or boot camp.

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.

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!

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!!!

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!

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.

Andrea Klausner Clean. Lots of free weights and a deceit selection of weight training machines as well as other equipment.

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.
