I had so much fun at the class with Alexis, I have been describing my experience with friends as pain free yoga. I look forward to making this part of my weekly routine. Alexis helped me feel comfortable and educated on the movements, correcting me in areas that I am aware of unbalances. For my first pilates experience I am thankful to have come to Truve!

As chefs, we spend long days working on our feet which leads to all kinds of pains. Alison makes working out fun and approachable, and in just a few months we’ve noticed huge improvements in how we feel and move! Plus they have all kinds of classes for everyone. Can’t recommend her and her gym enough.

Truve has changed my life. I've always been a fit person, but training with Built by Nando in 2023 changed everything. I've become much stronger, smarter, and have felt so safe and welcome at the gym and by everyone who works there. Nando is a fantastic coach and he's got a huge heart. If you're looking to gain muscle, compete, get fit, he's your guy! Shout out to Allison and Mal as well - always super fun to interact with during morning sessions. Wish I could give y'all 20 stars!!

I don’t usually like gyms, but Truve completely changed my mind. There are several floors of workout space with all kinds of equipment and classes, so it never gets boring. Everything is clean, well-maintained and it never feels crowded. The trainers all seem really knowledgeable and fun to work with. I love Alison—she’s the only person who has been able to motivate me to do resistance training for the first time in my life! I can recommend Truve enough!!

I’ve had a great experience with Truve. Specifically with my personal trainers Kaitlyn and SJ! They have been super accommodating to my schedule and even optimized the workouts to match my goals. They even assign me homework through their app. As a beginner in fitness I have seen results since I started this journey in January!

I recently joined Truve Fit and have truly enjoyed the professionalism and friendly staff and members of Truve. The classes and workouts I've experienced have been truly helpful and improved my overall fitness and strength. At 67 years young, I'm feeling stronger and healthier than I've felt in many years.

Thanks Truve for being in the heart of downtown Oakland

Super welcoming studio located in the heart of downtown Oakland. Allison, the owner, is great at matching personal trainers with clients, and matching clients with each other for small group training. The classes are challenging and the clients are diverse. If you are looking to build community and have a great workout - this is the place. As someone who works downtown - I love that I can workout in the morning, shower at the studio, and go straight to my office.

I recently took a mat Pilates class and had such a great experience. Alison was incredibly welcoming from the moment I walked in, which made me feel comfortable (even as a beginner) she had such a positive and encouraging energy and really motivated me to push myself. I highly recommend this gym and Alison as an instructor if you are really looking to get a great workout out!

Great gym with an awesome, welcoming staff. Perfect for all ability levels, and the gym owner, Alison takes the time to understand your fitness goals and help you meet them.

The trainers and physical therapists at Truve are wonderful and it is a very friendly and welcoming place for people of all ages and abilities. I haven’t felt rushed or judged there at all, which is wonderful. However, the gym is filthy, and has gotten worse over the last few years. I’ve stopped referring people-as it’s just not a hygienic environment. And it’s unpleasant to see clumps of hair on the floor and have dust balls and dirt stick to my clothing when I’m working out, (not to mention stained mats in the showers, very dirty bathroom stalls, etc.) I am committed to my trainer, otherwise I would find someplace else because for the money I spend there, the lack of care for the physical environment is discouraging. A regular, daily cleaning service is much needed.

If you’ve ever thought about joining a gym- this is the only one you need. It’s a highly supportive and diverse community, with opportunities for group classes, Pilates, and the best personal training I’ve ever experienced. They have an incredible team of physical therapists and massage therapists- it’s really a one stop place for your fitness and wellness needs. By the end of 2020 I lost over 130lbs, was able to summit mountains, and found my love for lifting. I can’t put in to words the transformation I made with Truve, and I’m so grateful to my personal trainer, physical therapists, and members of the gym who cheered me on.

If you're looking for a 1-stop shop for strength training, conditioning, injury rehab, or even just breaking into your first set of workouts after a long time off -Truve is the place to be! Alison is a phenomenal trainer who's been able to foster a true sense of community across the gym.

Whether you're coming to a general class, personal training session, or just stopping by to say "Hi" as you grab coffee next door - you'll always feel welcomed and can expect to get a good workout in while in great company.

Boutique, community-based workout studio in the heart of downtown (plus you can go get coffee next door)!

I am at my fittest when going to Truve’s classes, and cancelled my YMCA membership to come here. Good variety, LOVE how they help you customize the moves based on your desired difficulty. We also met so many amazing people from this class and have seen them through life stages: grow families, build businesses, change homes. It’s really a special place to find a community. Which can be so hard!

Allison, the owner of the gym, is a constant friendly face as well. You can tell she loves the people she serves and she’s passionate about her work! She will push you hard in classes but also takes feedback if there’s something you’d like to see in her studio. She actually played matchmaker, when my now-husband brought me to a Truve class, and is 100% one of the reasons we are together today!

I found Truve when searching for workout classes. What I found was community, friendship, and classes that really kicked my butt!

I’ve gone to a broad range of classes at Truve and all of them focus on form, strength, and functional fitness. Special shoutout to classes hosted by Dee & Alison.

At Truve it’s not about just burning calories. Instead, they’ll create a custom plan to your goals and help keep you accountable (& text you if you miss a class to make sure you are doing ok 😂)

In highly recommend Truve for people starting their fitness journey & others looking for something new to supercharge their routine!

If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be your first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment.

Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try.

The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did.

This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors.

Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored.

Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous.

Anytime I visit for work, I get in a few workouts with Alison at Truve! Very clean facility, friendly, and welcoming for all levels of fitness. Alison is extremely knowledgeable with nutrition as well, which I love! No fad workouts or crash diets. They even have virtual training sessions, which have helped keep me on track with my busy travel schedule! She genuinely cares and will cater to your individual body's abilities and helps you reach peak health.

I've been going to Truve for 5+ years and couldn't imagine going to any other gym. I'm in my mid-30s and have never been stronger thanks to Truve's holistic class offerings of HIIT, strength training, yoga, barre, pilates, dance, and more! All the trainers and instructors are extremely knowledgable and motivating, and also offer modifications for any exercise you do. Truve is a place where anyone can find a warm and welcoming fitness community!

As I sat in the Physical Therapy room while the amazing Dr. Dayna helped me with a pinched nerve in my neck, I thought to myself, "Truve really does have my back -- LITERALLY this time but in so many ways over the years."

The owner, Alison was able to make this appointment happen next day, when it would usually take a week to get seen.

She has also set me up with the most affirming, challenging, badass personal trainers to support different wellness goals I've had.

Truve has offered free community classes since the beginning with new exercises, good vibes, and partner/group activities so that we're not tempted to duck out before we've done our reps :P

It's such an amazing spot that's constantly evolving, but stays really true to its roots of helping the whole person (and the whole community) thrive. I always feel welcome, engaged, and supported, and the classes are always a great mix of challenging but accessible.
I've been to a lot of gyms and Truve is one of my absolute faves.

Thank you so much, Truve, for having my back in more ways than one ;)

I first discovered Truve Fit a couple years ago. Like many, I came out of “sheltering in place” with a few added, unwanted pounds. I figured it would be a nice change to workout with a personal trainer, and I found Truve (and a few others) on Yelp! I immediately scheduled new client calls with a handful of trainers. After speaking with each potential trainer, going with Alison and her team at Truve was a no-brainer. It was clear she was down-to-earth and very flexible. I met a couple of her other trainers as well, as we figured out my schedule and who had availability. At first, my intention was to have someone come to my house, as I am normally not super comfortable at gyms. Truve was different. Everyone was super friendly - no douchey gym vibe here! After my first workout, I immediately felt comfortable and was happy to workout at Truve.

Truve also offers a variety of other awesome services that I use. Amanda is, hands down, one of the best massage therapists I have ever seen (and I’ve seen many!). After seeing her once, I quickly got on her schedule for bi-weekly massages and just recently increased them to weekly (to coincide with an abnormally stressful time at work). She’s exceptional and tailors every massage to what I need and how I’m feeling at the moment. She’s also super sweet and always makes me feel comfortable and at ease.

I’ve not yet tried acupuncture at Truve, but it’s the very next thing I plan to try out. I’ve been meaning to try acupuncture for some time now and was very pleasantly surprised to learn that Truve offers this service, as the quality of practitioners working at Truve is very high across the board. I have no doubt I won’t be disappointed.

Over the years, I’ve been a member at a number of different gyms, but Truve Fit is like no other. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, the caliber of practitioners at Truve is exceptional, and the space is awesome for group classes or personal training. Parking is also fully validated at no cost - which is an added bonus!

Definitely try out Truve Fit; you won’t regret it.

Truve is THE most amazing studio/gym I’ve trained at! I’ve trained at various boutique gyms in the SF Bay Area and Seattle, but have yet to find a space that offers the same vibe or attention to detail as Truve.

After training and conditioning with Alison, I’ve gotten so much stronger, started lifting weights, began eating more, and really started to love and appreciate my body.

This isn’t just a gym, but an inclusive community space for health and wellness. The variety of classes offered keeps things fresh and exciting and I’ve enjoyed personal and group training sessions with various trainers (including owner Alison Campbell), spin, body sculpting, yoga, Pilates, HIIT, TRX, etc. The space is gorgeous! Truve also supports the local businesses and artists, often displaying their work at the studio.

I was curious about Truve a long time before I finally decided to get in touch with Alison, the owner, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Alison, the trainers, and other practitioners at Truve are true professionals. The facilities and classes are great, and everyone is friendly and helpful. It's a place you feel welcome and want to come back to. I also love the fact that Truve offers free community classes and has done so for longer than I have been a member. Alison has a true commitment to the Oakland community, and this is just one of the ways she shows it.

And, the staff and owners go above and beyond to offer a friendly, family-like feel to everyone who walks through their doors.

Joining Truve surpassed all my expectations and hopes. Alison has blessed us with her impeccable work ethic, passion for community, and supporting others in reaching their goals. A true leader in every aspect, Alison will not take your bs or tears and kick your butt in the right direction. If she is too spicy there’s plenty of excellent trainers and programs within Truve to choose from. Group classes, private and buddy sessions are offered. Also offered are free community classes, weekend activities, traveling abroad, and more. The biggest takeaway is that there is no competition for space, weights, or creepy people watching you! Go sign up already. Do it now. Ok thanks <3

It has personal training, amazing group fitness classes (I have tried the dance class and absolutely loved the teacher!), an entire physical therapy practice (The doctors of which helped me to heal my ankle and be able to walk again), massage therapy and bodywork Practitioners (I have had deep tissue massage from two different petitioners and thai from another- all amazing), acupuncture, and so much more. everyone there is so friendly welcoming and knowledgeable- and it is so unique to have these different modalities collaborating with each other. 10/10 recommend!

I’ve been a member at Truve for little over 6 months and this has been one of the best facilities I’ve experienced. From when you walk in someone either at the front reception or one of trainers always greets you with a welcoming smile and a “Hello.” The space has some many options to meet your health + wellness needs (TRX, personal training, yoga, community boot camp classes, physical therapy, massage and my fav Pilates).

The space has full service bathrooms and amenities…

The diversity of members, body types makes this space not pretentious and exclusive…it’s truly a space where you can focus on training and wellness.

Truve is one of the most amazing places to create health & wellness with outstanding teachers, an extraordinary community to support you, and an incredible flexibility & professionalism that truly differentiates it from any other gyms I have known or worked out at. Truve has truly and fully become part of my life. While all my adult life, going to the gym and exercising have been so difficult for me to sustain or stick to, I actually look forward to my work outs and classes and even plan my work & trips around them because it actually has helped me become healthier and feel better. Can’t tell you what a game-changing decision it has been to be part of Truve. Thank you Truve and thank you Alison for providing such an inclusive place for those of us who are not born-athletes or gym-lovers to still thrive and feel that we belong.

I joined Truve because they have the best variety and times (for a pre/post 9-5 work schedule) for group classes in the Bay Area. Group classes are super important to me because they are something I really look forward to and enjoy, whereas, for me, solo exercise often feels boring or a chore. I now regularly go to Spin, Bare, TRX, Dynamic Movement, and HIIT at Truve.

All of the Truve instructors are great! They create a super welcoming environment, help correct form, suggest modifications, and generally create a fun and supportive environment. I haven't worked 1:1 with a personal trainer, but from conversations, and the free classes that trainers, Blair, Mathew, and Ezekiel and Hannah teach, I can confidently say that their personal trainers are super knowledgeable and approachable. Truve, with their WEEKLY FREE community classes, is a community gem. I'd love to go on a group hike too if they bring that back. :)

ASK ABOUT WHY ITS CALLED “TRUVE” :) It’s such a meaningful reason & definitely captures the purpose of this one-of-a-kind gym. Alison and her husband are not your typical gym owners, but they’re philanthropists as well. Each year they used to plan a week long excursion to Costa Rica just to bring the TRUVE family closer and to bring tourism to CR. They’re always helping the families who live there in any way they can. I loved the fitness retreat so much! Every single moment of it. The whole gym is a vibe and everyone in it is so loving and supportive.

I am in the best health of my life because the trainers help you meet whatever your goals are in a safe space by demanding you show up for yourself. Shout out to Alison, the owner, who trained me through my pregnancy. I believe my prenatal, delivery and postnatal were easier because of her training. She is extremely thoughtful, welcoming and has built a positive culture of personal wellness at Truve that starts with community.

Truve has been my fitness home for more than four years, including through the pandemic. Truve, and owner Alison, made me a believer in boutique-sized fitness classes. I love the variety of classes offered and the kindness of the instructors/trainers. Every exercise comes with encouragement and adjustments for your fitness level. Whatever your relationship is to working out, Truve meets you where you are and pushes you to get stronger and healthier in a body-positive environment.

I love coming here to workout. I've been looking to get a personal trainer for a while now. I'm glad I came here. The owner took time to help match me with a good match. Getting started was really easy. I had a chance to make sure that I was comfortable with the match before committing to anything long term. I love that I get to pursue my personal fitness goals with a professional who understands and respects my goals.

If you're looking for a gym that makes you want to work out, where you gain strength and confidence, and if you love to laugh while during burpees, this is THE GYM for you. Alison has created a supportive and welcoming environment for people at every level of their fitness journey. I'm so grateful to have a place for safe, outdoor workouts, and a trainer who continues to push me to do my best.

I've been coming to Truve for 4 or 5 years and still haven't gotten bored. Alison and the other instructors constantly challenge me and Truve's outdoor classes during COVID have become the highlight of my week. They also offer virtual classes, and Alison often has fun challenges that you can opt in to. Highly recommend for people of any ability level. Huge thanks to Alison for being such an awesome business owner and leader in our community!

Truve is doing the best job humanly possible during the Covid crisis. Classes have been held online since it started, and once they were allowed to have outdoor classes, those started immediately. Alison Roessler Campbell, the owner, does a fantastic job as a trainer and is incredibly supportive of all her members during this unusual time. So if you are looking for a fitness center that has found a way to keep people in great shape during the pandemic, this is the place to go!

I'm a newer member but I'm stoked to be here, after weeks of looking at the schedule telling myself I'd go I finally did it, signed up for a membership, and have started attending some classes. I felt very welcome even though I'm a total out of shape beginner. Allison and the other instructors have made me feel like I belong here which helps me motivate myself to go. So enough about me, the classes are great! There is a ton of variety and you can really find anything you need here-yoga, Pilates, barre, boot camps, suspension, weights, cycle, and what I really like are the variety classes that you may do a 20 minute spin class, 20 min weights, 20 min core and stretching. The variety keeps me motivated and entertained right when I think I can't do that task for a moment longer it switches up. So cheers to your health, whether you are a newbie like me or an athlete Truve will meet you where you are and motivate you to do your best

I go to TRUVE for the acupuncture. The gym is set up for 1 on 1 training and group aerobics and yoga. The Acupuncturist is named William and he is an amazing healer. Genuine, caring and skilled.

I was looking for a personal trainer after realizing that I needed to get healthy & happy again. I gained about 40-45 pounds over 4-4.5 years. I reached out to a ton of Oakland trainers & only 3 actually got back to me & two were from Truve. I think this says a lot about the trainers who work there and return calls even if they may not be taking new clients. Luckily, I've been able to train with Alison, the owner and I'm very happy with the progress I've made so far. Not only do I go to Truve for personal training, Truve is an amazing gym that has a ton of different classes and there is plenty of space. I'm so happy to be a member of the Truve Family. Everyone who works or goes there is friendly and it's a comfortable, motivating & supportive environment. The space is big and the gym is kept clean and tidy. Most important, Truve is a gym that truly cares about giving back to the community and making fitness available to everyone. They provide free community classes each week which is really awesome. Truve has designated parking spots (YES!!!) and great class times for someone working 9-5. I'm so glad I found Truve & Alison!

Went here for personal training sessions with Alison. Make no mistake, she will make you work! That being said, she has great knowledge of anatomy, and a wide breadth of exercises to strengthen problem/injured areas (knees, elbows, shoulders, etc.). Highly recommend her to anyone looking to get in shape.

I took two great classes (TRX + Barre & World Beats) that left me sore the next day. The studio is much larger than I expected and has a variety of services from classes, pilates, spin, spa, gym equipment, etc. If I wasn't moving, I'd definitely join this gym. It's conveniently located, great instructors, many amenities, clean and feels more welcoming than most other gyms.

I love Truve. It's all I have ever wanted in a gym. Great classes, great instructors, and class passes! I hate being stuck with a membership that I know that I'm never going to utilize so the class pass gives me flexibility. Definitely check it out!

I cannot say enough about this place. I've worked out with a lot of trainers in a lot of gyms and taken A LOT of classes all over the bay area. From the moment I walked in I instantly felt comfortable. All the trainers and staff are professional and friendly. I don't ever feel like I should be a certain shape or size. It's all geared towards getting stronger and feeling comfortable in your own skin. I've also never laughed more working out than here. I look forward to training here.

The facilities are state of the art (pilates reformer, spin, studio classes, pilates mat, dance classes, every gym toy you will ever need) and the amenities are where it's at. They provide everything from face wash to gum in the locker room. You can workout and head off to your destination without skipping a beat.

It's a complete health & welleness center...estheticians (facials, waxing, lash extensions), massage therapists (thai massage, swedish, deep tissue), acupuncture, nutritionists and even spray tanning.

What can I say? I might be slightly obsessed.

Truve offers spin, boot camp, yoga, Pilates and many other classes in a really beautiful space, seven days a week. There is also individual training sessions available, for those looking to go it alone.

They offer one week free trails, so there is no risk to trying it out yourself!
