As a CrossFitter visiting from Korea🇰🇷, I had an amazing experience dropping in here during my trip to San Francisco🌉
The coaches and members were incredibly kind and welcoming, leaving me with such a great memory of the city!

I came with a friend who was new to CrossFit, and even though the class was busy, the coach took the time to give helpful guidance and encouragement — I’m truly grateful for that.

If you visit, I highly recommend getting the iconic box T-shirt — the design is awesome, and you’ll feel lucky to have one! I’ll definitely come back to this box the next time I’m in San Francisco. 💪

Have been going for a few months (mainly weekend Hyrox clssses) and can’t say enough great things - challenging workouts, motivating environment, inspiring community, and coaches who go out of their ways to make you get the most out of your workouts and feel welcome. Originally stopped by to just try out a class, was immediately hooked by the people & community.

XFit Golden Gate is a great place! I have been searching for somewhere to workout when I visit SF, and this is the place. The coaches are knowledgable, helpful and very friendly. I am able to modify as needed. There is a lot of equipment, so people can always find and use what they need for the WOD or open gym workout. I am very happy to go here whenever I am in town. Check it out!

I dropped in to Golden Gate for four days while in town for All Star Weekend. It’s a beautiful, spacious facility with well-maintained equipment and a friendly, welcoming staff. I was especially impressed with the hours — I was able to swing by very early in the morning on Saturday and Sunday, and they had Open Gym hours all morning through the week, both perfect for someone with a tight schedule (and serious jet lag). And because I’m accustomed to CrossFit boxes being a bit on the dark and dank side, I also appreciated how much natural light the main room gets from the huge windows all around the perimeter. All in all, an excellent space and I’ll be happy to visit again the next time I’m in town.

I've never written a Google review, and probably never will write another, but if there's any place that deserves one from me, it's here. This was the first CrossFit gym I ever went to, over 12 years ago. For reasons I can't explain, I kept track of the days I went to the gym, and after going that first day, I went back 1,800 times.

If that's not worth a good review - a place that I went back to more days than you I went to middle school and high school put together; a place that, no doubt, changed my life - then no business on this planet is.

3.5 stars.

(jk jk, five stars, all the stars, it gets every star I've ever given on Google reviews.)

CFGG is the best gym in SF, hands down. You won't find a gym with more space in the city. Full-sized rigs, squat racks, bumper plates, dumbbells, rowers, bikes, oly platforms, you name it. Classes from CrossFit, olympic lifting, and powerlifting to Open Gym with your own programming.

If you're new to CrossFit, come meet the team and learn from Danielle and the other experienced coaches. All levels of experience are welcome!

If you're an experienced CrossFitter, classes are offered in the mornings, midday, and evenings. Check out past programming on the CFGG website.

If you're not into CrossFit, come for open gym, elite equipment, and the best community. Come get after it!

Very welcoming and easily approachable for someone who has never done CrossFit. Started 2 months ago with zero CrossFit experience and basic lifting experience. Took the 3 class ramp period to learn all the basics and I now go 3-4 times a week in the mornings. Coaches are always super helpful to correct form, explain movements, answer any questions and help motivate you without being too pushy or overbearing. Great knowing that as long as I show up I am getting a really good workout.

I am so glad to have found this gym. I am a long-time Kendo practitioner, a Japanese martial arts. In recent years, I started getting a lot of small injuries here and there, but big enough to take me out of my practice for weeks, sometimes months. Since joining CrossFit Golden Gate a little over a year ago, I never had to miss a practice because of an injury. These days, when I spar in Kendo, I feel so much stronger. Coming to this gym has definitely upped my game.

Also, I have been struggling with a weaker left leg since getting ACL and Achilles reconstruction surgeries. Since a few years ago, my left knee started feeling a bit loose. Since coming to this gym, my left knee feels so much better.

Lastly, I love the warm and welcoming community. When I first showed up here, I felt super intimidated, having never done any barbell exercises. Everyone looked so strong, and I felt so out of place. However, I feel like I too belong here now. Danielle (the owner), the other coaches, and everyone in the class are super nice, super approachable, and really want to help you.

Loved this gym! I just dropped in for a class because I don't live in the city, but I just loved the space and the community!
Massive gym with storefront windows and lots of natural light, super high ceilings, lots of room for group class, but still tons of nooks to do your own thing off to the side. Complete Olympic weightlifting area in the back with a cozy lounge area to hang out before or after class. Bike rack in the back and cubbies near the training floor to hold your belongings while your train.
Danielle the owner is a fantastic coach who genuinely CARES about her members and knows her stuff! Highly recommend putting this on your list of gyms to drop into and if you are lucky enough to live in SF, make this your gym home! You will not find a better place to get fit, make friends, and have fun!

CFGG in San Francisco was my home for about 7 months in 2023. From the first moment I walked in, the owner coaches and other gym members were extremely welcoming to me. This gym has great programming, knowledgeable coaches, and a fun, mistake-free atmosphere. My Olympic lifts improved dramatically in 6 months. Danielle, the owner, organizes lots of social, extracurricular activities. If you have a chance to go CFGG, even for just a drop in, don’t miss it.

As I'm nearing my 1 year mark of trying CrossFit, I have nothing but great things to say about the sport and being part of CGG made it that much better. I walked into the gym with an impinged shoulder and could barely lift my left arm above the head, which limited me from doing a lot of the actual workouts. Nonetheless, Danielle, the owner and coach, was very accommodating and the whole community of people were ever so supportive. Through some physical therapy and slowly working my way up to the actual CrossFit workouts, I'm now in my best shape ever - shoulder is fixed and my functional mobility and strength just feels great. If you're on the fence about CrossFit, I hope this gives you the courage to try it out just like I did, and there's no better gym out there than CrossFit Golden Gate to do it!

I am still pretty new here but have to say whoever gave a 1 star has NEVER stepped foot into this space for a workout. The coaches are encouraging, very supportive of the process of building skill, very helpful in correcting technique and knowledgable about the work-outs. The culture that exists is one that keeps you coming! Egos are checked at the door and everyone is super friendly. Its so refreshing to have a business in this city that is building a community that is based in health and fitness where people care about people! Thanks for being in our city!

From the moment I walked into Crossfit Golden Gate, it has completely changed my life! I could lift heavy back then but was woefully out of shape. After 5X a week in there for 2.5 years, it sent me down a path that put me in the best shape of my life.

Danielle, the owner, is incredibly passionate about fitness and helping people achieve their goals! Yes, she's got some opinions about how the pandemic and city of SF policies *directly affected her business* and I think it's completely irrelevant to the fact that she runs a phenomenal gym and legitimately cares about her members.

Some social justice warriors (who choose to remain anonymous in a cowardly fashion) would rather exercise their mouths / keyboards than their bodies. It's unclear if they've ever set foot in this / any gym. It's a shame because they'll never experience the sort of satisfaction / achievement that they'll get from hitting new PRs, the first time doing new gymnastic movements, or the amazing community that Danielle has built.

Thank you, Danielle!!!

P.S. If you disagree, feel free to reach out to me. My name is "Michael Housman". I'll happily stand by every word of what's here.

Awesome drop-in experience! I was in town for Christmas, and the website showed open gym hours for Christmas morning. I emailed the gym to confirm they would be open and received a quick response. Signing up in advance was easy. I was welcomed warmly, and the gym was large, clean, and had all the right equipment. I hope to drop in for a class the next time I'm in town. I love that it's steps away from one of my other favorite San Francisco establishments, the House of Prime Rib!

CrossFit Golden Gate is an amazing place! I went from onboarding to a daily workout routine within a couple of months. The gym facility is awesome. Prime location as well. The place also offers flexible plans/subscriptions, and the classes run both in the mornings and afternoons which makes scheduling easy.

The best part of CrossFit Golden Gate is the people. I learned so much from every one of the instructors and coaches. You'll be amazed by their experience both in athletics, teaching, and professionalism. You'll also meet awesome, hardworking, and supportive peers -- this place is both a great gym and an awesome community.

CrossFit Golden Gate has an incredibly welcoming atmosphere, and an amazing setup. Despite the cramped buildings in the area, the interior of this facility is surprisingly open and spacious!

With excellent coaches, providing helpful feedback and guidance, CrossFit Golden Gate is the perfect place to start (or continue) your CrossFit journey.

Danielle (the owner) was amazing. She is super welcoming and took good care of us during our visit to San Francisco. The gym is clean and has every piece of equipment that you need. Plus, her space is in the middle the city! Highly recommended!

This has become my favorite CrossFit gym in SF, and I really dig the new space. I always get an incredible workout and there's great vibes between the members and coaching staff.
They also have a gym dog, Bruno, and he makes the place more fun!

Learning that CrossFit is dangerous. They instructors belittle you in front of everyone to push harder so hard I hurt myself.

Not to mention their dog that barks all day so aggressively i wouldn’t be surprised if the neighbors don’t start complaining.

Incredible space and helpful staff. Offering open gym during non-class hours is a huge bonus and allows for training on other programs. Stopped in for a drop in and was extremely happy with everything, especially the four legged spotter!

I've been going to CFGG for almost 3 years now. After trying several other boxes in the bay, this one quickly became my home. CFGG has one of the most welcoming communities I have seen, an incredible space, top notch equipment, and programming that challenged me and got me into the best shape of my life. Danielle and her team of coaches are some of the best I've trained with, and as a bonus - I've gained a family of supportive friends and family that made this city feel like home.

I got pretty seriously injured here. Maybe just a reflection of CrossFit vs this specific gym. People and community were solid.

We did a drop in session whilst visiting SF fior a holiday.

Made to feel really welcome by the coach and the other members, there was very friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Coach was great and made sure lifting was done with good form.

Not a lot of gyms in the area let you stick to your own program when traveling, but Danielle who owns the gym, and Ryan (one of the coaches) were extremely friendly, and welcoming. When I visit San Francisco again I'll definitely be returning.

***FIRST TO RATE*** Free burpees for everyone!

Time for a SIX month review:

I began my leap into CrossFit half a year ago with the only expectation of becoming healthy and not having to own "fat" pants. I remember starting "on-ramp" classes at the Folsom Street location (*woot* I am an original member of the second location!) where I was going to die from rowing 500 meters. Lifting anything on a barbell was foreign to me. All these strange lacrosse balls and resistance band warm ups... also foreign to me.

Days, weeks, and months have passed since I started CrossFit Golden Gate...

Now that CFGG has moved to it's new home, next to the House of Prime Rib, it gets better and better! There is a parking alley in the back, so no meter maids to be afraid of here! Buses are convenient and close by (depending on where you need to head... there is the 1, 19, 27, 47, 49). And if you eat meat, just head on next store after a WOD for a protein refill.

Coaches: Danielle (the Boss lady), Vic, Dan, Steven are all wonderful in teaching me proper form and technique. They all have a keen eye on watching you during WODs too!
For instance, during those crazy AMRAPs of strict presses, sometimes... I get a little tired, and sneak a push press in there BUT nope, they watch you! and call you out! I remember when I first started CrossFit, I was so lost (I am still lost, just a little less now), but each coach would take time to make sure you are doing the movements right before letting oneself at the WOD. Sometimes, when I'm just being ornery, I still ask for refreshers on what a movement might be (I still can't remember all them different Cleans).

When I first started CrossFit, I remember my Baseline WOD...
500 meter row (out of breathe by the first minute)
40 air squats (probably didn't squat pass parallel)
30 sit ups (good thing I could throw my arms up to propel myself)
20 push ups (knees)
10 pull ups (black resistance band)
and it took me... hm... more than 12 minutes?

WELL, as a new year workout, I redid my baseline... and guess what? 5:32 with no bands or knee push ups! *WOOT*

Gone are the days of my supple and soft librarian hands, gone are the days of ineffective workouts at the gym, to my new found health, I owe to CrossFit Golden Gate ♥

NOW some tips:
1. If you are a visiting athlete... come here!
2. If you are planning to join CF... start here! (is CrossFit a cult? probably, drink the Kool-Aid, it tastes great!)
3. I personally like the RuPaul radio station that is played, but you can change to Taylor Swift, if that floats your boat.
4. Demographically, girls workout in the AM and boys workout in the PM... so depending on what tickles your pickle, show up to a morning or evening. (I am a Noon WODer... because I'm too cool for school!).
