The bench press here is made for only very tall people. This is crazy because I think the average height in sf is like 5’5. Luckily this isn’t a problem for me because I’m 6’3 (I’m also really good looking). Still I think they should look into getting a bench press that is more suitable to the local population

Live Fit Gym- Mission is small, but mighty. It's got a modern, semi upscale appeal, with all the equipment to fulfill your basic gym needs. Live Fit offers massage, chiropractic and acupuncture. It also offer personal training, with a staff of about 6 personal trainers, all with different skillsets. It's fairly chill until around 4pm. From 4pm u til around 8, it'll be the busiest. Come get strong. P.s. they really opened the personal training studio a block away. And are now offering semi private group training sessions there M-Th & Sat!

It’s fine, but really hot and stuffy! The Castro location has better airflow/AC

Pros: The staff are all nice and the regular gym goers are respectful. They also have towels which is nice as I am hella sweaty.

Cons: Not enough airflow, so gets super hot and stifling even with normal mild SF weather. Having been to other locations, the Mission one is unusually sucky in this regard. I will revise the review if ownership ever fixes this 🙏 there are some other more common cons like it's small, can get crowded, but honestly the heat is the big difference between this place and other gyms in the city.

Solid gym, not too crowded, but not empty. It has all the basics you need. I don’t usually have to wait long for anything. Haven’t talked to many of the people there, but they seem friendly enough.

Great gym, only issue is their music is always too loud. Can always hear it even while playing my own music with noise canceling headphones.

Clean, nice people, lots of equipment but the space is small. Stretching floor can be a bit crowded and many people like to do more phone sets than exercise sets so you often end up waiting for a bench. Overall, I’m enjoying my workouts.

Gym has pretty much all the machines you could want and generally doesn't feel too crowded. However, for a gym that purports to be the nicest in the Mission, the bathrooms are pretty much always disgusting

The rating for this Live Fit Gym should be WAY higher! I literally love this place, and so do my neighbors and friends. The entire staff is welcoming and friendly, and I especially enjoy working with my personal trainer, Leona. The gym is clean, inviting, and has all the equipment I need.

- Great Value: I appreciate that there’s no shower room or extra amenities I don’t use. Since it’s so close to home, I don’t need those, and it keeps the price reasonable.
- Personal Training: Training with Leona twice a week helped me get in shape for my wedding, and I’m continuing with my training and gym routine because I actually enjoy the process now!
- Additional Services: The gym offers services like chiropractic care and massage, which have been fantastic. The team listens to my specific aches and pains, checking in and adjusting as needed to ensure I get the best care.

I haven’t visited the other locations, but I highly recommend the Mission location if it’s convenient for you!

I’ve been a member for over 3 years and I love this gym and the staff have become friendly faces I love to see. I’ve been working with Juan, the best personal trainer, for 2 years and he helped me get in shape for my wedding as well as stay strong during my pregnancy. The new space is bright, airy, beautiful and a pleasure to visit, with air conditioning on hot summer days. Highly recommend.

Signed up for a free trial pass. Followed all emailed instructions and went to the gym, showed the receipt and Luis at the desk tried to shake me down for $25 payment even though I am a resident. Avoid.

We loved our live fit family, if you’re looking for a gym in the Mission, I recommend joining! Everyone who works there is super kind and friendly. The machines are great, the gym is never so crowded that you can’t get a good workout. Their services are top tier. Dr Frahm is an excellent chiropractor who really helped me with alignment , the massages are also really good! When it was time to cancel it was quick and easy without any hassle. We’re really sad to have to go. Thanks so much for your everything!

The gym is nice and well-maintained. My biggest complaint is the lack of curtains on the top windows. The sun beams directly onto the treadmills, which can be quite unpleasant. I prefer using the treadmills with the slats as they are easier on the knees, and I like to start my workout with a 30-minute run. However, due to the harsh sunlight hitting the left side of my face, I had to cut my run down to just 10 minutes.

Not only is this a nuisance, but it also poses a potential safety issue. When you have runners on the treadmills in the morning, there is a risk of a blinding light hitting them directly in the eyes, which could lead to accidents.

This is just something for the gym management to consider. Installing some curtains or tinting the windows could significantly improve the comfort and safety of the gym members during peak sunlight hours.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

How can a Gym be against physical exercise in their community and display a poster that the bike lane is harming their business. As a cyclist that bikes to the gym, I decided to not get a membership. I’ll find another gym that cares about their community.

Had a great experience in this mission gym - it can get busy but nothing crazy, could always get access to one of the squat racks during a session. I like that it’s clean and straight forward to use (esp as a weight lifting gym). Bring your own gym towel and lock.

The staff were wonderful - my first trial I had literally no pressure to sign up (which is the reason I signed up), and then they helped me out when I forgot to freeze my membership when travelling.

Love the new gym in Mission, such a great space. Feels really comfortable to work out in, rarely gets too busy. Equipment is good and mostly new and staff are friendly. Loses one star for the music which is not my cup of tea... Slow depressing and not motivating at all apart from the rare occasions there is some house or electronic music. Bring good noise cancelling headphones as it is loud too...

Got a free day pass today, went there with my Oakland ID and was not allowed to get inside. The reception lady said I need SF ID to get inside. Would be nice guys if you would have let me know in advance by email.

Saw the reviews about being billed illegally. Still signed up and learned the hard way. They owe me 3 months of membership fees. Don’t make the mistake I did, they’ll blame their system for billing and promise a refund

BEWARE:
This gym DOES use predatory billing practices. The reviews are true, cancelling your membership is not something they are keen to do. They will ask you to jump through a ton of hoops (visit at the right time, speak to the right person, call, email). And once you've done all of these things, they will leave you hanging and CONTINUE to bill you until you notice and dispute. Disputes will not be resolved easily, so HOLD ONTO ANY COMMUNICATION you receive from them.

If you do intend to cancel your membership, order a STOP BILLING from your bank first, then dance their dance. They do not care and will not be communicative.

WORD TO THE WISE: DO NOT SUPPORT THIS GYM WITH YOUR MONEY, DO NOT SUPPORT PREDATORY BUSINESSES.

Such an amazing fitness community! The gym is new and so is most of the equipment! Everyone is so kind, welcoming and helpful. The gym has everything you need for a great workout. It’s busy during peak hours but not so busy that you can’t get the equipment you need. So excited to continue my fitness journey here.

The Gym has.. Almost everything you can imagine from a neighbourhood gym. Not too crowded.. Equipments are enough to train every muscle. Plenty of space to not feel too crowded. If you know what you are doing. This is a good place to be.

Small but with all the equipment for your workout routine. It is clean, not too crowded and affordable. And all the fellow gym goers are courteous, they don't monopolize a machine and clean after themselves. No unpleasant phone conversations either.
Highly recommended to people who live in the neighborhood for easy access.
P.S. You do need to keep an eye on your credit card bill for accurate accounting. But they are quick at fixing the errors.

Solid local gym, decent equipment, but constant loud music that interferes with my own tunes and lights that are mounted to highlight window advertising but that face right into the eyes of those using aerobic equipment are downsides.

Beware: Live fit will continue charging your credit card after you cancel. They overcharged me for over a year after cancellation. The they pushed back a lot to refund the money. After I showed all the proof, they acknowledged the billing error but never sent me a check and started ghosting me.

I've been a member here for almost two years, and after belonging to numerous gyms in the city (UCSF, World Gym, 24-Hour, FitGlenGit, and Golds), I can say this has been the best gym experience I've had. It's a very comfortable atmosphere with a clientele of all fitness levels. No fitness shaming or judgement here. And a relatively recent renovation has been a gamechanger

For the most part, the staff is great. Will, the awesome manager, greets everyone by name. I've never utilized the personal trainers, and some are friendly than others if you're looking to share space.

My only "complaints" would be longer hours - 4-12am would be awesome - and that when there are 3 or 4 trainers working with clients at the same time, it can feel a like a much smaller facility.

Awesome Valencia gym. It's a bit smaller (it's better that way anyway), but it has everything you need!
Will is a really great manager there and he went above and beyond for me multiple times regarding my membership and plan.
Really awesome to have acupuncture and/or chiropractic adjustments added to your plan. Amazing chiropractor, Dr. Tannous, highly recommend!
