I’ve been going to MoveSF for over three years and truly can’t say enough great things about Matt and Nina (and Blue and Koa!). From helping my wife and me get in shape for our wedding to guiding us through a safe and healthy routine during my wife’s pregnancy, they have supported us through so many important life moments. Before finding MoveSF, I spent years in typical open weight-room gyms where I rarely got a real workout and struggled to stay motivated. Matt and Nina completely changed that for me. Their coaching, encouragement, and genuine care have transformed my health and overall wellness, and I’m incredibly grateful for both their guidance and their friendship. I’m unfortunately leaving the city, and this gym will be one of the things I miss most from my four plus years in San Francisco. If you’re looking for a place that will truly help reshape your lifestyle and make you a better, healthier version of yourself (while making true friendships along the way), MoveSF is the place to go.

Cannot say enough good things about MoveSF!! Regularly went 3 times a week for about 3 years and Matt and Nina have truly changed the way I see my fitness and health. It’s such an amazing gym with great classes of varying intensities and Matt and Nina really focus on form to ensure you are properly trained and getting everything you can out of the classes. I’m so sad to be leaving this gym as I’m moving but will definitely be making stops in whenever I’m in town! Plus Matt’s dogs are always a bonus!

Tried this place out through Classpass and it was a great experience. Matt is a great instructor, makes you feel welcome as the new person, the workouts were fun and involved. Cute dogs in the place too. Not sure how the normal pricing works, but would consider coming back again.

Matt’s one of a kind and as a first timer he was so inviting and made me feel welcomed immediately. I love his science backed approach and the studio space. I love the structure of the sculpt classes and the environment as a whole. The doggies are an extra plus and I am so glad I found this space. Thanks Matt for creating a healthy wholesome and encouraging space!!
