FITNESS SF - SoMa

Nice gym, very large with a lot of different sections, weight and machines. I like the layout and that it is big. The staff is also very friendly and they have a nice bike storage area. The second section of the gym (with the stretch area/astro grass) can be a bit hot on warm days, I don’t think they have AC in there just a bunch of fans and it can get stinky and stuffy in there. The location can be a bit dodgy, with a lot of drug addicts in the area and there is also some tents close by under the bridge, but it’s fine if you drive there. Nice large bathroom and there is also plenty of parking available. Gym gets busy at about 4is - 7ish.

DO NOT USE THE TOWELS!!! Just moved to San Francisco I enjoy the gym but would always use my own personal gym towel. Until I saw they offered there own and that was a mistake I use my own now as I broke out using there due to them not following proper cleaning procedures. Bring your own towel and use your own towel so you do not catch anything from them not cleaning there towels.

I've been going here 2-3x/week for 1.5 years and am really happy with it. I go in the morning and can almost always get on the equipment that I want. In the evening, it's a different story, but it chills out after 7:30. If you're a decently attractive guy, you'll probably have some eyes on you and guys will come talk to you, but not to the same extent as the Castro location. It feels very safe and non-intimidating here, especially in the mornings and midday. Value for the price is good for SF - they have a lot of nice things like massage chairs, massage guns, grip dynamometer, towels, etc. If you're wondering if there's a piece of equipment, you can get an answer just by asking here in Google maps. Last point: the morning front desk staff is awesome, so friendly! I am always happy to see them.

I’ve been training with Max at SF Fitness Soma for about three years. He’s been helping me strengthen myself to maximize my rugby abilities. Max knows his business around weight training, fitness, nutrition and gives great advice on recovery post rugby matches. Oh….and he’s an awesome guy too!!

I’ve been training with Max at Fitness SF SoMa since November, and he’s been incredible! Max is knowledgeable, motivating, and tailors each workout to my goals while keeping it challenging and fun. I’ve already noticed great progress and feel more confident in my fitness journey. Highly recommend working with him if you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares about your success!
