FITNESS SF - Castro

I love this gym!
The staff is kind and helpful (thanks Danilo) and the Customer Manager Matthew is amazing, super helpful and a joy to chat with him.
Everything is super clean and I have plenty of equipment for my routine, yoga practice and recovery equipment which this is a HUGE PLUS. Few places put importance on recovery, rehabilitation and maintenance for the body after a workout or pain management which is one of my reasons for joining this gym. I’m happy with this investment for myself, totally worth it.

If you’re looking for a trainer to help set you up for a good routine or just someone to keep guiding you, I highly recommend Nelson O.

Over a few months, he showed me a variety of exercises while explaining the fundamentals, which helped give me structure and confidence to keep going on my own. I’ve worked out knowing the basics for many years on/off, but this experience leveled me up for many years to come. Thank you!

This is my Go-To Gym anytime I visit San Francisco CA. Thank You Letty getting me set up and ALWAYS being top-notch :-)
I'm in San Francisco about 2 to 3 times a year with AIDS Lifecycle as well as just to visit. Hands Down my favorite Gym there

I recently joined SF Fitness, and I must say that it has been an incredible experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed by the friendly staff who genuinely care about their members’ fitness goals.

Whether you’re into weightlifting, cardio, or group classes, SF Fitness Gym has got you covered. They have an extensive selection of modern equipment, including treadmills, ellipticals, weight machines, free weights, and more.

What sets SF Fitness Gym apart is its dedicated and knowledgeable team of trainers. They are always available to provide guidance, support, and personalized workout plans tailored to your specific needs. Their expertise has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals and pushing me beyond my limits.

Hygiene and cleanliness are top priorities at SF Fitness Gym. The facility is spotless, and there are abundant sanitizing stations throughout the gym. The staff ensures that all equipment is regularly cleaned and maintained, which gives me peace of mind during these times.

Another aspect that impressed me was the inclusive and welcoming atmosphere of the gym. It’s refreshing to see a diverse community of fitness enthusiasts who motivate and inspire one another.

I highly recommend SF Fitness Gym to anyone looking for a motivating and results-driven gym in the Castro area.

Great gym, lots of equipment, friendly staff and trainers, and a great community in the heart of the Castro. It does get very busy at peak times!

Great place for a workout, if not a little crowded at times. Just be careful in the showers...

Solid gym, good equipment, friendly front desk staff.

Great gym and NOT overcrowded. Lots of machines available and most importantly clean. Highly recommend if you’re willing to spend a little extra more. I personally hate crowded machines and for once felt focused and motivated here. Worth the $30 day pass. Will definitely consider purchasing a membership here

I am giving Fitness SF Castro 5 stars because the front desk staff, the managing staff, and the cleaning staff are amazing. This is my neighborhood gym and have consistently felt safe and able to be myself in this gym.

I unfortunately have an issue with how aggressively I was approached by a trainer the last Tuesday, February 21 around 7-8PM. Elias J saw me snap a picture while on the gym floor and felt it was his job to threaten expelling me from the gym, call the police to have me arrested, and to go to the front desk staff to start a group conversation about the situation.

To be clear, there are no rules at this gym about taking photos or videos of any kind on the gym floor beyond stating that video or imagery in the locker rooms is prohibited. Beyond harassing me he left his client unattended, wasting his clients money for that session. He had a calm veneer the entire confrontation, but his words were very specific about excluding me from the my safe place at this gym and that "they'd" be watching me from now on.

I have been uncomfortable going to Castro location since this interaction, in fear I will targeted again.

I am an avid barbell lifter and build my routine around squats, deadlifts, and presses. Fitness SF has 12 platforms and all but 2 or 3 are wood. This is the best gym around.

Great neighborhood gym with a great equipment selection in a tight space. Equipment is well maintained and continuously updated. Recent renovation converted group exercise space to flexible individual stretching and machines. A COVID adjustment which created a very welcome more focused gym. It has peaks times and low times, so you can pick your scene.

Went many years ago when it was golds. Best gym I have been in in the San Francisco area. I also tryed another gym nearby this gym so much better. This is my favorite gym in San Francisco. Excellent elliptical machines

Loving the recent remodel of the multi-purpose room upstairs! The removal of the wall dividing the room and the rest of the gym has made it feel less congested and allowed for more light to flow into the gym.

They also have a quick and simple app for contactless check-in. I have been going to the gym since pre-pandemic and I can personally say the Fitness SF app has made a lot of progress. Previously the app would log you out sporadically, but the new app doesn’t have this issue! In particular, Sean was extremely helpful instructing me on how to transition to the new app.

Well maintained gym with modern equipment and a full schedule of included classes offered. After switching here from 24 Hour Fitness I find my desire to work out is much higher.

This location is more basic in its offerings (no pool or steam room) because it's in such a desirable location with less space. Fortunately other locations aren't too far away on days you need those things.

I have a high standard when it comes to gyms so when I first found Fitness SF I worked out in each facility near me before joining. The Castro location is closest to me and I am always pleasantly surprised by my experience there. I tend to go in the early afternoon to avoid any big crowds of people and love the variety of machines they have (especially upstairs). Only downside is that there are only a couple of squat racks and they aren't of the highest quality.

One of the only gyms in SF open every holiday. And the staff is great. I rejoin every December. Has day passes for visitors as well.

This is my favorite gym, despite the relatively small size and the growing number of folks during busy hours. The gym is totally sufficient, and the community vibe is 💯💯💯 the best in town.

By far my favorite of the Fitness SF gyms. The equipment at Mid-market might be better, and the Soma gym is better for bodybuilding, but you can't beat the friendliness and cordiality of the Castro gym. Day or night, it's my hands-down preference, with friendly staff and customers, a clean locker room, good equipment selection, good airflow, and a great location close to coffee shops, restaurants, and tanning just a stone's throw away.

This gym meets all my needs. It's disappointing that homophobic individuals would give a great facility that provides wonderful classes and even a juice bar at the Castro location one star because they have personal issues. I've been a member of FSF for years and have only had positive interactions. It's also affordable and well kept.

I have been going to this location for about 6 months and I am pretty happy with the gym. It has all the necessary equipment and is very clean. The staff are also nice.
