Dropped into Crossfit SOMA this morning and worked out with the 6:30am crew and Coach Kevin. I was so glad to find that the class was structured and Kevin provided guidance on movements throughout. I will definitely drop in here again if I am back in SF!

My experience at United Barbell was awsome. My wife and I were welcomed by Coach James. He was very nice, friendly and professional, giving us all the information we needed and being attentive to all movimente we were doing. The workout was hard and log, just the way we love. The space of the gym is quite big and comfortable. Excellent equipment and good location. The community was very friendly too. I highly recommend UNITED BARBELL CROSSFIT for all visitors os San Francisco and also for those ones whoa are searching a CrossFit Gym to make it home. United Barbell is definitely that place. My wife and I have been practicing CF for 6 years and everywhere we go we try to find a gym for dropping in. So if you are visiting San Francisco or have just moved tontura city and is looking for a CF Gym. Go and check United Barbell. You won’t regret! 100% guaranteed!

As a former member and now drop-in client, I would highly recommend United Barbell to anyone at all levels of fitness. The coaching staff is friendly, inspiring, and technically proficient. They do an especially good job of insuring participants utilize proper technique to minimize injury risk while still pushing everyone to get the most out of our workouts. Additionally, the gym itself is very organized, spacious, and has all the latest equipment.

United Barbell is a good fit for people new to fitness, those like me who are just looking for a fun/challenging workout, and the more advanced cross fitters who participate seem to love it too. Bottom line: Great gym, with great coaches, and you'll be working out with a great group of people!

The moment I walked in I was greeted with friendly faces and informative and caring couches. I was able to walk in, look around, and ask as many questions I had about the program. After a great consultation, I decided to try out a class. I was truly shocked by the support and modifications that that couch offers new members. I was encouraged to listen to my body and to do less reps/weight. After my first class I signed up for one month unlimited. It’s been two weeks and I am truly hooked. Not only did I notice positive changes in my body, but I genuinely enjoy going to class. I highly recommend United Barbell for anyone interested in CrossFit, gymnastics, and strength training!

Been in United barbell for the past month. The trainers and fellow CrosFiters have made me feel welcome from the get go. The gym has all the bells and whistles of CrossFit equipment as well as great apps and communication methods. If you are into CrossFit. I recommend you to try a free training session and see for yourself.

I’ve been to nearly all the CrossFit gyms in SF and the east bay, and there are only a few that get the two important things right: coaching/programming and community. Most other things you can flex on, but those two things really define the experience and quality of a box.

I’ve been crossfitting for 8 years and am in that mode where I’m pleasantly surprised if I PR or am able to improve technique. I haven’t been at UB long but have already experienced both! Experienced, and attentive coaching, and a fun and open community. I plan to stick around. :)

I have been going to United barbel for ten years, and it’s been a fantastic experience. I started as a guy who had no clue what an actual snatch was to now doing them with the weight I never imagined possible. Kudos on my journey to the fantastic coaches who have and continue to remind me of the importance of form and taking my time to learn the specifics of every skill.

I have made the most amazing lifelong friends at United barbell - every day is a new experience, and I always look forward to going to the gym!

Came here on first Friday beginner workout on invitation from my friend

First class is free if you come on a Friday morning! No commitment required, just sign a waiver.

This particular workout was primarily deadlifts and I had concerns due to previous poor form on deadlifts. Noted to coach Cam who helped me work on form, provided helpful cues, and motivation and reinforcement when I was doing it right. Never felt so great doing 100 deadlifts (even at lighter weights)

Energy was awesome and music choice was spot on with a rise at the end to give you a small bump in energy.

Would recommend for anyone looking at getting in to cross fit and trying it out! Kudos to the team that created this environment.
