FITNESS SF - Mid Market

I recently moved locations to what they call “mint hill” and was looking for a new gym membership. SF Fitness was walking distance from my house which I liked but after talking to Crystal at the front desk I was sold. She made the process smooth and easy. Walking me through a tour of the gym and answered any questions I had. To this day she is always willing to help explain the different programs and classes the gym offers and answer questions. I would definitely recommend… good gym but even better service!

Good gym equipments and environment. But they will trick you with membership cancellation/termination. They say you need to cancel 15 days before the next billing date, which is 1st of every month. I want December to be my last month so I cancelled mine on 12/8. But I have paid the last month twice: I prepaid last month when signing up; and I paid again on 12/1. They refused to refund me. They told me in email that I actually need to cancel before 11/15. That is 1.5 month before my last day. NOT 15 days as written on their website.

The gym itself is clean and pretty well equipped. Pleasant staff. Good amount of cardio equipment. Open turf area and another for sleds. Class rooms, etc. I would like to see some additions like an incline barbell bench, belt squat, standing calf, etc. But they do a good enough job with the space they have. My one big complaint: If you're a fan of gym etiquette and organization, this place might drive you a little mad. In my experience reracking is pretty much non-existent and what is racked is wildly misplaced. This is partly the fault of the gym as they only have one plate tree that I'm aware of to supplement the integrated equipment racks. But that's no excuse for being lazy and inconsiderate to those using the equipment after you. I also haven't seen any cleanup or enforcement from staff.

This is the best gym in the area hands down. The short version: This gym is spacious, clean and has everything you need and want from a gym - classes, cardio, weights etc. The real reason why you want to go here is the people. The average gym person that walks through the door is friendly, kind, and considerate and its all very intentionally driven by the staff. Long version: This gym is basically a fitness oasis. You get a bunch of natural sunlight from all the windows so you don't feel stuck inside a torture box. It's the kind of place that gets you pumped before you've even begun to scoop a bunch of pre-work out into your blender bottle. If you just need a space to pump and feel good, this is the place. The atmosphere is friendly and encouraging, with everyone focused on their own workout. High fives and fist bumps are readily exchanged, workout tips are shared freely, and there's a genuine sense of camaraderie. It's like everyone's on the same team, working towards their own personal best. Personally, I built a powerful positive feedback loop by making friends with everyone at the gym, including the staff, and like I said earlier: the reason you go to this gym is because the people here, specifically the staff, who are all amazing. The staff here is the epitome of approachable expertise. The first person who will greet you with a big smile is Crystal, whose contagious energy and genuine kindness will immediately make you feel at ease but also excited to work out. Crystal is a chameleon at the gym, equally adept at guiding you through your initial sign up journey, putting even the most nervous gym newbie at ease with her easygoing charm. Underneath the hat and hoodie though, is a powerhouse of fitness knowledge and incredible athleticism. The diversity and knowledge wielded by the rest of the trainers here is incredible. Each trainer here is an alchemists, transforming sweat into sculpted physiques and motivation into burning ambition. I was stuck at the same plateau for a while until I started training with Ryan. Now every other week or at least every month I hit a new pr. I could write an even longer review here about the trainers, but at the expense of time, I'll leave you with this: trust Crystal. She'll hook you up with the right trainer that is right for you. Your body type, your goals, your vibe, your skills and abilities. And if you're one of those people who goes to the gym and thinks you don't need a personal trainer, you're either already an athlete with the physique of a greek god or you need to eat a slice of humble pie and learn from one of these professionals. If you're stuck in the "decision" phase of your fitness journey and you're unsure about the commitment, signing up and cancelling is pretty easy. You pay for the first and last month of membership upfront. But maybe if you swing by, catch me by the squat racks, say hi and make some friends, you'll create that same positive feedback loop I made a year ago, and you'll discover the boundless physical feats you can forge with your body just by showing up everyday.
