Bay Strength

I’ve been going to Bay Strength for a year and a half and it’s my favorite gym of all time. So welcoming, kind, and goofy 😜! The coaches are very supportive and knowledgeable, and the gym has very inclusive policies and clear list of a lifters rights and responsibilities (see picture). The people taking classes here are all ages, identities, shapes, and sizes. The learn to lift class also makes it way less intimidating to get started. If you can’t tell, I really cannot recommend this place enough! ❤️

I love this place. For myself I have become so much stronger in a great and welcoming environment. The people! The community! It's a special place, it truly is. You're here to get stronger and do that in the midst of wonderful people who will support you all the way. And they mean what they say. Always! I love that.

I've been a Bay Strength member for about a year, coming in 3x/ week to build strength and stamina and keep myself as mobile as possible as I get older. I was seeking a gym that was inclusive, welcoming, and free of diet culture B.S. I have absolutely found that in Bay Strength. I am able to work out at an incredibly well-equipped gym, with a great community, and fantastic coaches. No one's out here telling me I can't be a fat person working out if I don't want to lose weight. I'm free to focus on my goals, without having to dodge someone trying to convince me to join a weight loss challenge or buy some diet supplements. We need more spaces like this where people can focus on being stronger, and I'm glad Bay Strength is among those leading the way.

I love this place so much! As someone who has always been intimidated by weight rooms at most gyms, I immediately felt at ease and welcome at Bay Strength. The coaches teach you and correct your form in a positive way that is so encouraging, you never feel self conscious. They'll help you with alternative exercises or modifications if you ever need it. It's also so nice to not have to plan out your workouts, since the coaches lay everything out for you. They make it easy so that you can just go in and have fun while working at your own pace. The absolute best part of this gym is the people. I've made so many friends and we're always laughing and chatting and being silly. We cheer each other on, celebrate PRs, and crack jokes between sets. It's a true community, and I always feel so uplifted every time I'm here. Joining Bay Strength was the best decision I've made in a really long time, and I'm so grateful to be a part of this beautiful place.

I have been lifting at Bay Strength little over a year, and one of my favorite things about the gym is how the coaches ask what your goals are and update and adjust the individualized workout plans according to what you would like to focus on. The coaches and lifters at the gym are very friendly and supportive of each other. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn how to lift!
