I love the morning BARBELL STRENGTH class with Coach Gunther and crew! As the awareness grows of how important it is to build muscle after age 50- I was looking for a program that would challenge me further and provide some camaraderie with straightforward programming. This is the real deal. Such a gem! So grateful for this amazing group and chill vibe.

Just started training at The Yard, and I’m honestly blown away. Booking a workout is seamless with their app, the equipment is next-level, and everything is spotless. The recovery tools—sauna, compression boots, all of it—are a huge bonus. But what really sets it apart is the staff. They’re not just responsive—they’re genuinely invested in making sure you get the most out of every session. After this, there’s no going back to a regular gym.

The Yard in Mill Valley is an absolute gem. I took their Barbell Basics class and was blown away by the quality of instruction—accessible, well-structured, and empowering, whether you’re a beginner or looking to refine your form. The space is welcoming, the energy is positive, and the coaches are incredibly knowledgeable without being intimidating. Highly recommend for anyone looking to build strength in a supportive, community-driven environment.

Top of the line equipment and tons of space. The reservation system is super easy and it’s great to have your own space and avoid the crowds of bay club. Joe and his team are awesome and it’s a great community, highly recommend if you’re in mill valley.

Nice, little, unique spot in MV. Kinda dig the reservation system, which makes it feel like your own personal home gym while there, also keeping the crowd very minimal. Will def continue to hit this for gym sessions in the future. Slim options in the area, so this is a solid option. Clean, friendly, and welcoming.

The Yard is my happy place—I joined over a year ago and can say it’s been well worth it and exceeded expectations. It’s hard to build community nowadays but at the The Yard everyone is so welcoming, patient, and kind. They have the upper echelon of trainers that have taken my workouts from 0 to 100 (real quick 😉).

I used to be a member of the Bay Club but I find the Yard to be a much more inclusive, supportive community of people that want to prioritize their health.

The owner, Joe, is a top tier human and I truly look forward to seeing him every time I go.

They’re also adding in a sauna service starting next week!

I can’t say enough about how much I love this place! A staple in Marin that will hopefully be around for a long long time.

I was in town and needed a gym. I found The Yard and had a great time! The gym was really clean, and the staff were super nice. They made me feel welcome and helped me out. What's cool is that you get your own equipment during your scheduled time. If you're looking for a gym during your stay, I highly recommend checking out.

After 25 years of training in Mill Valley I sold my gym and started training my clients at The Yard. I really like training there, and more importantly so do my clients. It's clean and well lit with lots of windows. The equipment can serve the serious lifter and my older clients, many of whom are in their 70s and 80s. It's very well managed and the ownership is very responsive to requests. It's super convenient to book sessions. In summary it's perfect for both full time training like mine, or as a place to occasionally take the clients you normally see outdoors or at a home gym.

I usually train at the San Francisco location and thought I'd give the new location a try, and it did not disappoint! Much bigger turf area, which is my favorite, and it has many olympic squat racks.

Will be training here a lot more on the weekends!

This gym really hits the sweet spot between simplicity and sophistication. The equipment is top tier (Eleiko—if you know, you know), the staff is amazing, the facility is exceptionally maintained, and the booking system will spoil you on other gyms.

I can’t overstate what a positive impact working out at The Yard has made on my fitness. I loved the barbell basics class and am now working out with the awesome personal trainer Hayley Spelman. As a distance runner I have neglected strength training for too long and this personalized work has been game changing in both strength building and injury prevention for me.

Best fitness gym, community, and ownership in the bay area bar-none! Somehow because of finding the yard, my workouts are way more consistent, I'm feeling fitter, and frankly happier.
