FITNESS SF - Embarcadero

one of the best gyms I’ve been to in a long time. I had an hour to squeeze in a workout before a flight and used their free day pass for first time customers. I was so grateful that the process to get in was quick (no time wasted trying to sell me on a membership/ the assistant manager who helped me was wonderful.) I LOVE that they have an outdoor workout space and with a beautiful view to boot! What a treat to be able to enjoy the weather. I was also super impressed by the cleanliness and organization, both out on the gym floor and in the locker rooms. This place is nice !! I’ll gladly pay for a day pass when in town in the future.

I've been going here for a few years now and I enjoy it. It's small but they make good use of the space. I like the available equipment and I'm excited for the new upgrades.

Friendly, efficient and accommodating staff. The gym is simple but it's clean, modern and everything is working and well maintained. Also it was very easy to cancel and restart my membership when I went overseas for w few months. I recommend FITNESS SF - Embarcadero!

great gym, not too busy but has everything you need, and great management

Only my 2nd time working out at this facility and love it already. Came over from another nearby location—one that has a disingenuous name as they’re not open all night any longer. If you are serious about your workouts, the extra money to join Fitness SF is worth it on so many levels. Cleanliness and quality of machines are beyond anything I’ve seen and it even smells nice in here. Very glad I made the change.

Been coming to Fitness SF Embarcadero for over a year now, and have had good experiences thus far.

The equipment are essentially all new and up to date. The gym isn’t very crowded on weekends, thankfully. The weekday rush tapers out around 7 pm (the gym is located at the base of two massive business buildings, so set expectations during the morning and day accordingly). There’s a nice outdoor space on the third floor where I like to row if the weather is fair.

This is gym isnt in my neighborhood but I like it better than other fitness locations. It's never that crowded, lots of cardio machines and good ac system. Locker room is clean and staff is friendly

Love this gym. Great equipment for everyone from the powerlifter to the casual gym goer. I visit when I’m in town for business so pay the daily guest fee which is pretty steep. Wish that was a bit lower but still over all great gym.

Fitness SF at the Embarcadero became a second home to me. The staff are so friendly. Annabelle who signed me up made sure that every question I had was answered and that I was helped if ever needed. She signed me up with Walt, a personal trainer, and he did an amazing job. Walt's attention to detail, amazing attitude, and happy energy made coming to our sessions a blast. All the equipment is brand new and the facility itself is fantastic. I would highly recommend Fitness SF.

This is a nice neighborhood gym in Embarcardeo area, it is a smaller size gym compare with their other locations but it has everything as a gym. Plus it has a beautiful cardio room. Love it.

Alright everyone.. hold your breathe... this is going to be a long one.
*I have only written about 3-5 yelp reviews in my entire life.. so please keep that in mind*

This gym is absolutely amazing... I am so confused why there isn't a million plus 5 star reviews.

Okay so let me give you a little bit of background information... I love working out and it's a huge part of my lifestyle.. I workout typically 6 days a week. Some context: I was living on the East Coast for 2 years and moved back to the Bay Area (SF to be exact). I was on the hunt for a good gym (CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN, not overly packed so that I could actually use the equipment without twiddling my thumbs waiting for that next person to be done, and positive and inclusive environment, and something not too far from my place/work).

I moved back to SF in August and LITERALLY not kidding, looked at 5+ different gyms:
- YMCA Embarcadero - this gym straight up smelt like chlorine

- 24 Hour Fitness Embarcadero - guys this gym smells so disgusting and is NOT clean at all. I literally would rather work out at home or on my balcony then go here.
- Equinox - alright,I love the eucalyptus towels..and the gym is nice, BUT its literally PACKED PACKED every single day.. how am I supposed to workout waiting in 10-25+ min lines to use equipment. And how am I supposed to pay over $200 to wait in line?!?
- Planet Fitness - doesn't meet up to my gym standards
- Bay Club near Embarcadero - their is literally carpet where the weights are... it literally reminds you of an OLD OLD building.. not into it. Also this is about $200... not going to pay that for carpet near the weights.
Alright so you guys get it.. I did my research and went way overboard in ensuring I find the best gym that I will be happy going to everyday.

Finally, after feeling really upset/down since all the gyms weren't great in SF.. I thought well I guess it cant hurt to check out ONE last gym. After stepping foot in Fitness SF Embarcadero I was introduced to Ralph. He was the one that gave me a tour and I was blown away by his demeanor and customer service. I could go on and on about Ralph, he is always happy, makes everyone feel welcome in the gym, and has great customer service.
I know... I know this email sounds very repetitive, energetic, and a bit overly enthusiastic, but I want you to know truly how much this gym and environment has helped me in all aspects of my life. I've gotten back into working out regularly and actually look forward to seeing Fitness SF Embarcadero employees.

Point is: I am sure most of you want a gym that is 1) reasonably priced 2) CLEAN!!! 3) Positive Environment

To be honest, I didn't care to pay a large amount for a gym if it met all of my needs but Equinox and Bay Club didn't meet all of them.

Great pros about Fitness SF:
- You can go to all of the locations with the membership you don't need to pay more
- Outside turf which is awesome! You can bring equipment/weights/rowers out there and workout
- Gym is never that packed at all which I love. Selfishly I don't want people to keep joining ;), but DAMN this is seriously a hidden gem!!
- Great resources!! Khaliah and Leah are so nice and helpful! They are both personal trainers and always give me tips/advice to help me achieve my goals... FOR FREE!
- I met the President (Zhou) after I joined and he went above and beyond and literally handed me his business card. What kind of President at any company does that?
- They really care about their members and you will find the resources you need to achieve whatever goals you are after!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS GYM! Please feel free to message me directly if you have anymore questions. I PROMISE PROMISE you will not regret joining! So so glad I found this hidden gem!
