Nice enough but no one wants to listen to taqueria music while they work out

I had a really fantastic training session with one of the trainers, Valentina! I would highly recommend her!

I have some chronic health and musculoskeletal issues but also have ambitions of some more intense activities (like training for mountaineering!) She was really thoughtful in her intake, assessing my strength in movements specific to my activities of interest and listened to the different limitations I might face, as well as the kind of exercises I knew I liked (Valentina also noticed immediately a few weakness issues that it's taken years of physical therapy for me to realize, she is really astute).

She then took me through a variety of different exercises, making sure I understood how to check my own form. After the session, she did a super comprehensive write-up of everything in the session, including a really useful suggested training regimen. When I can, I hope to be able to work with her on a more regular basis

Quite possibly the worst gym ever. Go anywhere else.

Been a member for 2 years and have been really happy with with the equipment and flexibility on entering after desk hours. Has everything I've needed for cardio and weights. Wanted to write a review especially to thank Sahba for being such a wonderful manager here.

Great location, but every machine squeaks so much, you might as well bring your own WD-40. Also, showers are mixed-gender and tiny, like squeezing into a closet!

solid spot for a workout. prices are a little high for what they offer—it’s a small gym with a good selection of cardio, machines and weights, though it’s a little cramped with even just a few people there (<10). staff was nice and all the equipment was clean.

at more than $100/months plus an initiation fee you’d probably want to utilize their other locations too

Recently joined Live Fit Gym Cole Valley and am wondering why I never joined sooner. The location is IDEAL for me in Cole Valley since I'm now working from home and I live 3 blocks away. I also LOVE my training sessions with Anthony! He's attentive, caring, proactive in determining how best to utilize our weekly hour together, always has great stories as he gives me instructions about new or continuing exercises. He has taught me a lot about how my own body functions and why I sometimes have pain if I don't follow his instructions. Not only is Anthony an excellent trainer, he is so motivating that I want to come to the gym as often as I can whether he's there or not. The equipment is well maintained, the staff is super friendly as has already been noted, and the gym right across the street from Luke's Local (get a Trippy Turkey Sandwich from Sammy or Ruby), Cole Hardware and La Boulangerie in case you need anything from any of those places before or after. Glad I joined! I feel so much better from working out 3x/week too!

Really needs at least one more squat rack. Only one squat rack, seriously??

Will edit this review once they get another.

Very old and broken equipment: for months they cannot fix a couple of lifting machines (they just put a sign Out of order). Running machines are from another century. Definitely an outdated gym

Small but clean facility with good variety of equipment. Friendly staff. Only 1 rack and 1 smith rack but understandable given the size.

It's crowded. There's only one squat rack so there's almost always a wait or someone waiting to use it. The machines are organized poorly so it feels small. I think if they got rid of some of the duplicate machines downstairs, organized better, and put in another squat rack, it would be fantastic.

Agreed with others re: poor communication through the pandemic. I was charged for membership when the gym was closed without any indication of when/if it would reopen or plan of any kind. I later cancelled my membership to move out-of-state and was charged still, after re-confirming cancellation. It took 2-3 months for me to be reimbursed for this charge and much time on my end for following up. Wish there was more proactive communication and trust with this gym — otherwise a nice amenity in Cole Valley.

The staff here is awesome, the gym is kept clean and the locker room situation works nicely during non peak hours. Gym is small, but works if you’re looking for a local workout.

I visit SF every 2 months and every time I come here for the 7 day pass the experience is awesome! The gym has everything you need for a great workout and though it’s small, with some flexibility in your routine you can get it done.

People are great. The location is great.

I’m only interested in powerlifting, which requires a squat wrack. They only have one squat wrack, which is nearly always occupied during busy hours.

5:20am on a Friday and I have to deal with someone standing at the wrack.

It’s just not a fit for my routine, but otherwise, they’re a great gym in a spot-on location.

Perfect neighborhood gym. I sort of got sick of the massive box gyms and am so glad I found this place; it is always clean, machine wipes always full, easy water bottle fill fountain, plenty of lockers. Busy time (6-730pm) everyone is accommodating and you can still use everything you need.

Very poor communication through the pandemic.

Realized they were charging me, asked to cancel. Told I was canceled, but just got another charge notice, months later. Glad that I flagged my credit card to refuse charges.

Low key neighborhood gym with pleasant, professional staff. Small but has everything you need. Not crowded. Observes mask and cleanliness protocols.

I'm not what I would call a "gym person", but when I walked by Live Fit - Cole Valley on January second, I saw they were finally open (Gotta get that new years business) and decided "why not". I'm so glad I did. This place is unpretentious, friendly and has everything I need to loose the holiday extra 10 that has become the year round extra 10. The easy to navigate space is full of new machines all maintained in perfect order. I also highly recommend working with the always energetic Nicole Yessler, if you need to come up with a game plan to get back in shape like I did.

Owner, please let’s be honest. I have lived here for 12 years and used your gym when the UCSF gym is closed. You have not given this gym the attention it needs. Cole street has upgraded all around your gym and you haven’t felt the need to clean up. The weights are rusted, the machines out-dated, the shower is line a dungeon and the lockers, some have keys some don’t. You are surviving because you are in my wealthy neighborhood. But visit a few gyms nearby and upgrade your business. We homeowners of Cole Valley deserve a quality gym. I mean this is Cole Valley. Even trashy Finagans bar has upgraded. Clean it up and stop pretending it’s normal to have a trashy gym in the center of a upgraded street.

I love this gym. It's rarely crowded, even in the evenings after work. The set up is nice and it doesn't feel too cramped. The staff is always really friendly and they learned my name in the first couple times I went. Their prime location makes it easy for me to stop in after I get off work. I look forward to my workouts at CVF.

Having a TRX is an auto four stars from me. Great pricing packages and layout of machines.
