Live Fit Gym • Inner Richmond

Especially for San Francisco, the weight lifting area has plenty of room and a variety of machines and free weights including a Smith Deck. The cardio machine area is a bit cozy and has windows for fresh air and is well lit which is nice. I appreciate their hours and automated access so I can go almost any time of day or night, even on holidays when other gyms are closed.

Live Fit Gym ROCKS! The location of the gym is very convenient with good street parking and bike parking nearby, plus if you go on the weekends you can literally walk down and visit the Clement Farmer’s Market after your workout! Or if you’re feeling up for a sweet treat, they have a famous French pastry shop that is right next door! The gym itself has all the amenities/equipment you could need PLUS they have some super cool classes that you can take through their app (which is super easy and self-explanatory to use), I went to an “Athlete training” class and it absolutely kicked my ass (in a good way). But the reason I’m even writing a review at all in the first place is this location has AMAZING staff. Not only have they been incredibly transparent on pricing/membership options, but they are so incredibly friendly and welcoming each time I come to the gym. As someone who is new to the area, having a familiar and smiling face to be greeted by each day truly makes the world of a difference! One time I even accidentally dropped my water bottle into an un-retrievable crack in the wall (long story) and they did everything they could and actually was able to rescue my beloved water bottle! And compared to what I have heard about other gyms in the area, I feel SO lucky to go to a gym like this one! Definitely consider signing up if you’re considering a gym in the neighborhood. They even have a free day pass so you can see if this gym feels like a good fit!! 10/10 would recommend.

I decided to get a membership at Live Fit Gym Inner Richmond after checking out other gyms in the area. In addition to having a convenient check-in (using their app/QR code on your phone) which is available 5am - 11pm 365 days a year, I love how they kept the atmosphere of the vintage building. As a treadmill runner, I was also immediately impressed with their cardio room of 10+ (not sure exact number) treadmills, as I am not the biggest fan of having to wait during busy times. They also have a great selection of free weights and weight machines. The real reason I felt inclined enough to write a review is because of the friendly staff, especially Christian. Christian has been incredibly friendly and welcoming since I joined, and clearly cares about engaging and getting to know everyone. I recently signed up for the fitness assessment with Christian and was very impressed. He is super knowledgeable and a great coach, and his insight and relaxed demeanor made me feel super comfortable. He has even taken the time to give me extra pointers while I'm on the floor, which have been very helpful in improving my form. I will definitely be signing up with Christian for more training sessions, as I have already benefitted a lot from the feedback he has provided.

Few months back I had a free day pass, never tried a gym before, and confused how to get in because the door was closed. Approached a guy (possibly staff) and asked about the free day pass. He asked for money to be allowed in. I'm assuming because I am a middle school student I'm not taken seriously, not a very good introduction of gyms but I found a different gym that I go to regularly.

I have an online coach and have been training with him for a long time. Today, the administrator at the gym came up to me in the middle of my workout and asked me to leave, allegedly because it’s against the rules. However, I couldn’t find this point in the rules. She refused to give me her name, was rude, and even claimed that I was the one being rude. As a result, I lost my training session, my money, and had to cancel my membership with the club. Terrible service.
