I can't say enough about how much I love my gym and personal trainer, Udoka! This place truly feels like the perfect gym and Udoka is like a workout buddy and mindset coach rolled into one.
First off, the gym itself is fantastic. Easy parking? Check! There's nothing better than arriving stress-free without circling the block for hours. Plus, the place is always sparkling clean. Seriously, it's so pristine.
The new equipment is a game-changer. It's not only top-notch but also well-maintained, which means I can get my workout in without worrying about wonky treadmills or clunky weights. There are plenty of spaces for classes and stretching too, so I never feel cramped or crowded during my workouts.
Let's talk about Udoka, my favorite personal trainer. He's like a motivational powerhouse. His positivity is contagious, and his encouragement is the best. He's not just about the gains; he's helped me transform my mindset too.
Udoka's genuine nature shines through every session. It's more than just a workout; it's an empowering experience. Training with Udoka is honestly the highlight of my day, and it feels like I'm working out with a friend. If you can't afford PT - they also offer great group fitness classes with their trainers which is included in the membership.
If you're looking for a gym that's got it all - easy parking, clean facilities, and top-notch equipment - and a personal trainer who's not just a coach but a true cheerleader for your goals, then look no further. Udoka and this gym have changed me for the better and I couldn't be more grateful! Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 2Oh no 0 - Cari S.San Francisco, CA02819Jul 22, 2024
2nd class was with Erin. She kicked my butt. Great floor run group class. That's how they do at the CASTRO!
3rd class was a LIFT class in the smaller room. LOVED IT! Let's go! I like this smaller room and I love the Lifting energy!!!! But you definitely need a run class too.
Now is if I join as a member or buy class packs? It's pretty pricey but I like it. DECISION to make.
Thank You.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Alejandra F.San Francisco, CA097Jun 12, 2024
Not my taste.
First off customer service and greeting was terrible.
I was given a tour thinking my one day pass would be a great experience but I was wrong.
First off the temperature was warm they will get that fixed.
Felt EXHAUSTED during my workout and on top of that the gentleman with glasses said that the filter was changed showing a red blinking light. I tasted the water and it was CLEARLY NOT CLEAN!!! So nothing to do but drink it!...
The towels smelled DISGUSTING and had a yellow stain! It smelled like ROTTEN CHEESE.
When I left he told me
"THAT WAS A PRETTY LONG WORKOUT" Keep in mind I told him in the beginning that I was trying to get back to my routine as I was struggling with health mentally and physically.
THANK GOD I JUST GOT A ONE DAY PASS.
No idea why this place almost 5 stars rating.
NEVER COMING HERE EVER AGAIN!Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 1 - Drew G.San Francisco, CA475May 14, 2024
I've been going to Live Fit for a little over six months. After over a decade of rotating among different area gyms, I can attest that this facility is among the cleanest and nicest in the city, certainly the best option in the neighborhood. The equipment is all new, well spaced and always in good operating order. I'd love to see them expand even further to make more active use of the cavernous two-level space.
The key difference though is the staff. From the first moment I stepped inside last year, everyone has always been beyond welcoming. I've also had a fair share of trainers at different facilities over the years and Louie at Live Fit is absolute tops. He has a deep knowledge of kinesiology and recovery, is always super attentive and a great motivator. Highly recommend him if you're looking to push yourself in new directions or to switch up your routine with training sessions.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Kipp G.San Francisco, CA122Aug 9, 2024
Run, don't walk to Anthony Cabrera's class Fridays at 12! He's one of my favorite Barry's instructors and his class is super challenging yet doable. As a trainer myself I appreciate his clear direction and loud speaking voice. Great full body workout!

I wanted to give an update to my review since several months have passed by, Manager Brianna has been very good at checking in with me as well as introducing herself in person after several communications over email.
Also I wanted to recommend Eshan as a trainer! He's great and his classes are fun and will make you want to come back. Gym is very nice and they have complimentary Parking. They are very good at keeping up with the cleaning and Maintance of the the gym. I recommend :)Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Jan 24, 2024Previous reviewToday was my first day at the gym, and I was so excited to start. I had a great workout. My one star comes from the costumer service I received from the Manager on duty name Briana.
A couple of months ago I visit the Castro location to get information and I was told they had a promotion, however I was on crutches and not able to start working out until I was completely healed. The staff told me to not worry that they can push back my billing cycle and that I wouldn't be charged until I start the gym.
Today I finally felt like I was able to begin and was super excited and happy, however when I spoke to the manager in regards getting billed for the month of December in which I was told I wouldn't until I actually start working out ahead was very rude and denying that any of her staff would say that.
She's the one who signed me up and I specifically told her that I couldn't start working out until I get better and I didn't know how long that would have been. After that I called and spoke to different staff members over the phone to make sure that I wouldn't get billed. With that peace of mind I signed for the membership.
Basically I was lied to, and she was basically telling me that I am a lier and that no one could have told me that because they don't have in their system. That if I have recording then she can look into it. I told her that I don't have recordings but since that is a place of business, then she can look into recordings on her end. Regardless, this is totally bad business totally horrible Customer Service because this is not the impression you want to give to a new member on their first day. My boyfriend also goes to the LiveFit but if this doesn't get resolved I am totally going to find another gym, there's plenty to choose from in the area. It's unfortunate that their costumer service (Manager Briana) instead of resolving an issue, accuses a costumer of lying and doesn't care about loosing business. I tried to find the phone number of corporation but I couldn't. I really wish to continue doing to this gym but if my problem doesn't get resolved then we definitely won't want to give our business to this gym. They were nice to sign up and told me I wouldn't get billed until
I start however now they are saying they never said this to me.
****UPDATE****
Later today Brianna, the manager called me to tell me she spoke with the regional manager who happened to walk in today and that although they're unable to refund me they will wave a month.
I still told her that her delivery on how she spoke to me was poor and left a bad taste in my mouth, she did apologize and try to redeem what was said...
I'm glad that something was done because I honestly was going to canceled everything from the horrible communication from earlier. No one needs to have a negative experience at the gym, when you are actually trying to get better.
I changed my 1 star to 3 stars. It will go to 5 when I really get a full good experience and don't feel attacked. - Katie F.San Francisco, CA321Apr 30, 2024
I've been to this gym for more than a year now, everything is great considering the price point.
The staff members are all pretty friendly and helpful.
Cleanness and convenience and the most important things to me, and they excel both.
Fresh towel, clean equipment, convenient location and free parking in the garage! The in-house acupuncture and chiropractic service is also very convenient for my busy days.
I'd recommend it to any folk who's trying to establish a healthy life.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - K H.San Francisco, CA29258Apr 26, 2024
Live Fitness Gym offers a comprehensive range of services that cater to various fitness needs. As someone with a history of sports injuries, having access to a mobility trainer has been invaluable. The expertise and personalized attention have helped me navigate my workouts safely and effectively. Additionally, the inclusion of chiropractors, acupuncturists, and masseuses within the gym is a game-changer. It's incredibly convenient to address any discomfort or tension right on-site, enhancing my overall well-being.
One of the standout features of Live Fitness Gym, particularly the Fairmount hotel location, is the inclusion of dry and steam saunas. As a member, I've thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of these amenities. While the steam sauna may have occasional hiccups, the dry sauna is consistently pristine, quiet, and rejuvenating.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Riley H.San Francisco, CA05Jul 18, 2024
We joined in May and couldn't be happier after trying a few other SF gyms! Our absolute favorite class is Precious's Pilates floor class-amazing music (!), challenging on the body, and she's just so fun! She made us feel so welcome from the start-we try to never miss our Tuesday nights now! Only wish there was at least one more of her classes during the week!
Also-want to shout out to the super welcoming and kind staff -including Zemaye and Bailey who always greet us with smiles and made us feel welcome from day one! Even when it's super early in the AM!
The place is always so clean and equipment is updated and in great quality! We go often in the early am or evenings and can always get the machines or weights we want! Feel so lucky to have a neighborhood gym that's so great!
It was also so easy to sign up on line the night before we started, definitely recommend. They have trainers and other perks like massage and acupuncture-but they don't hound you to use those services if they aren't what you need.Helpful 0Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Katie B.Holladay, UT02Aug 1, 2024

The amazing front desk staff and the myriad of eye candy to motivate your workout. The cleanliness of the establishment added to its likability and the abundant supply of towels on hand was always a nice perk.
