TLDR Hours are more optimized for retirees, vs people who have kids or commute more than exit or two away. Check the hours.

Charge 50% more, just open an hour earlier during the week and two or three hours earlier on the weekend. 8am on Sunday. 7am on Saturday. 6am work week.

People lined up today, waiting to get in. People want to work out before their families and days start.

If they ran better hours, there would be no other gyms in Marin, because this place is great.

But because they don’t and people work, commute and have kids. You really want to have a second gym membership. Sonoma Fit is 24x7, and not anywhere near as good, but the hours make up for it. I have memberships at both. I’d pay twice as much here if they opened a couple hours earlier every day.

An extra $100/day in labor costs, so they could open earlier, would probably double membership numbers. I keep telling friends about this place, but the hours (esp weekend) are deal breakers for them.

Five hundred stars if they had better hours. Three stars because you need a second gym membership for many days when they don’t open early enough.

Love this place. Clean, spacious, friendly and has everything you need for a great workout.
I was a member here for years before the pandemic and I had to relocate from Marin. When I come back to visit family, this is still my go-to gym and I look forward to coming back to visit. Solid people, local business, and the outdoor area is so helpful to workout in the sunshine!

Highly recommend.

Clean and spacious. The weight training equipment here is ok, most of it is old and clunky. The staff here is nice, friendly, and ready to be helpful. Their bathrooms are for the most part, clean. The sauna rooms are great and have plenty of space. Overall, this is a decent place to work out. Although they really need newer exercise equipment, their membership fees are fair and the ample space makes this gym comfortable enough to enjoy a nice workout. They seem to have plenty of other fitness programs besides weight training, which is what I like, but I couldn't say much about them as I didn't try them.

We just moved here and thought to join a local gym with reasonable prices. We were 100% wrong! They lied to us about the fees and we are 12 days into the membership for 3 people with over $500 of charges. We finally received resolution from the owners but proceed with caution.

Staff members are super friendly and helpful with knowledge about the gym and equipment. I've especially been grateful for assistance from Brendan at the San Rafael location - I had a lot of questions before joining and he was great in communicating everything I needed to know about working out in the gym during these restrictive times.The gym is well supplied with a large variety of equipment, so I get a whole body workout. With high ceilings and the large bay of windows, the place feels really open and fresh inside, and the outdoor workout area is also well set up and spacious.I always feel really welcome at this gym and I'm enjoying each workout session there!

They have hardly any space. There are classes almost all the time blocking off needed equipment and a staff member has to retrieve it and find a place for it to be used. The roof was flooded and leaking into the gym and all over floors and equipment... and I was told by several employees and members that the managers/owners have expressed a fervent disinterest in making any attempt to repair it. They also don't really have sanitary cleaner for equipment, they just have scented EO hand wipes that leave a moisturizer on everything. The gym feels dirty and neglected. I was disappointed by the 2nd day of my 2 week trial, and by day 5 I was dreading the gym and stressed about how to get through my program without obstacles. The Novato location is much better. It's like a totally different company.

BK often brings in new machines, technologies or challenges to keep it fresh. Great outdoor option to make me feel not-so-guilty on the sunny days. The steam room or sauna are always a great reward after a good workout!

Hate to giving away my training secret, but when two solid weeks of smoke forced the Norcal riding community indoors, I committed to as many Pelo classes as my body could handle during that time, and just posted my season-best finish at the District CX Championships over the weekend. No matter your riding level, these classes are the real deal, but let's just make it our little secret until next season.

I love how great the cleaning products smell, I also love how clean and hygienic the gym is at all times. It is spotless! I love the variety of new machines, and innovative equipment. I love that the gym always feels safe, everyone is respectful, and I never am afraid to ask a trainer a question. There is almost always a trainer, either Chris or Ashley, on the floor with a client and I feel lucky to be able to feel inspired by them every time I come in. I think that the new added glute machines, the new stair master, and the new wall of those pressure pump resistance machines is awesome and shows that your gym is keeping up with trends. I also love the addition of the second smith machine inside. I love the outside area, the turf feel is very aesthetically pleasing and I love the opportunity for functional training. Your front desk staff is great, so is the janitor. <3 so much love! Also, I love that the spin room is open at all times, it is so nicely done and it is a huge draw for me.

I really don’t like group classes. Typically, I mountain bike, run, Ski and play squash. My wife is injured and we can’t run together, so we changed over to spinning classes. I’ve done 20 spinning classes in three different locations with 7 different instructors. Pelo instructors are really good, the music is great, bikes are smooth and their proprietary software combined with the for mentioned makes for a heart pounding class. I pushed myself harder than in any other class setting. The only issue is that we were on vacation and there’s no Pelo in Seattle! Awesome place for a great work out.

Old bikes that may cause injury. During one of the classes I started feeling pain in my right knee. I tried to continue but at some point I left the class and informed the staff of what happened. The lady got defensive and my complaint was met with suspicion rather than compassion. She never even said she was sorry about a bad experience let alone the pain in my knee. She was also reluctant to return the class credit.

I have been exercising daily for the last 25 years, lately (since the new owner took over and he has done amazing new things at the Gym (specially adding personal trainers) I benefit from tips I hear them giving besides watching them from the corner of one ear and eye. (don't tell anyone)
Everyone always asks me why do I exercise every day; very simple answer...I want to feel just the way I do when I turn 100!. Racy

Just moved to San Rafael and joined when my friend said "they have fabulous Nia and Zumba teachers." She was right! Love all their classes and they have every piece of exercise equipment known to mankind...If it wasn't an 1/8 of a mile walk to the women's locker room, I'd be in heaven.

Ok so basically this is the same review I left on Yelp when the club was under previous ownership: My husband and I just got married and we wanted to join a gym together - previously I was at Club One in SF and he was at the Bay Club in Marin. We couldn't be happier with Body Kinetics!! It is a diamond in the rough. It is so close to our home that we could walk, but we drive since the parking is so convenient and free. We have gone to the yoga and spin classes so far, the yoga class is definitely better than the one or two I tried at Club One. The spin class is great, we tried that one tonight and will definitely go back. The studios are nice and big with hard wood floors, a mirror wall, and exposed brick walls and central ventilation. Machines are fine, they have everything we need - lots of cardio machines and all kinds of weights upstairs and downstairs. We LOVE the sauna and steam rooms in the locker areas. They are separate, not co-ed like some places (SF Fitness), they have included towel service and locks that you can borrow for the lockers. Don't forget your flip flops. They have beefed up their cleaning staff and the locker rooms look a lot better lately.
Did I mention it is a great deal? We got both of our memberships for the price of one Bay Club membership!! Oh and we love the crew at the front desk. They are fantastic. Welcome back Cyndi!! We missed you!
I almost don't want to write such a good review because I don't want it to get crowded - so far there is never a wait for a machine or a parking spot - everything is so convenient, easy and cost-efficient!!! Five stars.
BTW, Really looking forward to the new location opening!! Even closer to our home, so that we actually WILL walk, although there looks like there is even more free parking available in the new space. Can't wait!!!
