Q:
What is the parking situation like? Is it just street parking?
A:
Finding parking near Live Fit gym is harder than it's ever been. Those outdoor eating 'whatcha ma call em' have taken up a lot of the previous parking spaces. So, in response your question, I'd take a bus, walk, fly, or maybe go swimming in the… more

Great facility with all new equipment. Is COVID compliant and spotlessly clean. App makes it easy to book workout appointments. Well managed and easy to work with a personal trainer. Size is just right to never be too crowded compared to the big chain gyms. Feel the pricing is very fair for the facility and service. Fits in perfectly with the Cole Valley neighborhood and highly recommend.

Live Fit Cole Valley has everything you need for a great workout. They've managed to put a lot of amazing equipment in a fairly intimate space, while still creating a sense of openness. Even when packed, I always have a sense that the other members respect the space and have good etiquette about working in sets and sharing the floor space. The hours and key card access are clutch for me, as I'm able to get in a work out when it most suits me, which is either really late at night or super early in the morning. The staff is always down to earth and approachable. They also offer personal training! My trainer Lonnie always goes above and beyond when it comes to encouragement, consistency and education. I can't say enough good things about this gym... Great price! Great spot!

Overall good. If they added a sauna, it would be great. With sauna, I'd quit my bay club membership and bring all my friends to live fit from bay club (we are all disgruntled with numerous issues there)

Thank you, @Charles Soriano, my personal trainer, for the amazing impact you have had on my life, both physically as well as mentally. I've had multiple personal trainers over 15+ years and Charles is by far the best I have ever had. I feel very lucky to be his client.
Before working with Charles, I had been going to physical therapy for months to cure a lower back injury and had minimal results. Charles immediately created a customized workout program that not only healed that injury, but made my body extremely strong as well. I went from being someone who was very uncomfortable with their body to someone who is proud of it, and I owe it all to Charles.
Charles is more than just a trainer, He cares about me and his other clients outside of the workout as a coach, mentor, and friend. He consistently checks in on my overall health & wellness, even outside of the gym. I could never imagine working with another trainer - I love you Charles!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 4Oh no 0 - Michelle F.San Francisco, CA04Jul 19, 2023
This not a big flossy gym; it is a friendly neighborhood gym and I think it is terrific. it has a good mix of machines and equipment that I am gradually learning to use with mats and mirrors that help me keep an eye on my form. It is always very clean and comfortable.
Lonnie P. is my trainer and I can't say enough good things about him! He has been helping me recover from a stroke and he is shockingly knowledgeable. He is patient and supportive and encouraging. I have made great progress and I am very grateful.
I think anyone who wants a nice place to exercise in a chill environment would like this place. And if you have challenging physical conditions, I hope you find someone as effective and smart as Lonnie P.!Helpful 6Thanks 1Love this 5Oh no 0 - Andrew V.San Francisco, CA91445801Jun 8, 2022Updated review
Nice toilets are working! Upstairs TVs are fixed. I'm a happy camper.
I hope things stay fixed. This is a smaller gym so every piece of equipment NEEDS to be in working order.
Happy with the remodel and updates. Keep up the good workHelpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Dec 21, 2021Previous reviewI'll update review to 5 stars when the right side (upstairs next to spin bikes) tv is fixed.
The Toilets pressure is so low because of the crappy toilet brand, not the piping.
Please invest in a high pressure flush toilet like Kohler!! That refills the basin quickly.
The current toilets couldn't flush anything because they are builder grade American standard. ((Cheapest brand at Home Depot)) it took 3 minutes to refill basin after each flush.

I can't express enough how extraordinary my experience has been at LiveFitGym, particularly thanks to the exceptional guidance and support from my personal trainer, Lonnie. From the moment I looked into this gym, I was greeted warmly and onboarded by Sahba, who made me feel right at home and eager to embark on my fitness journey.
Lonnie's expertise and dedication have been nothing short of amazing. He not only took the time to understand my fitness goals but also design a workout plan that has exceeded all my expectations. Under his guidance, I have felt physically stronger and my mental well being has also improved in just one month, something I never thought possible.
Lonnie's attention to detail and unwavering commitment to ensuring my exercises are performed correctly have been invaluable. He not only pushes me to reach new heights but also takes the time to educate me on proper form and technique, helping me achieve optimal results while minimizing any chance of injury.
Moreover, Lonnie's approachability and patience have made every session enjoyable and motivating. No question is too big or too small for him, and he always responds with enthusiasm, making me feel truly supported in my fitness journey.
I'm filled with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming months at LiveFitGym, all thanks to Lonnie's exceptional coaching and the outstanding staff. I wholeheartedly recommend this gym to anyone looking to start their fitness journey accompanied by personal training!Helpful 1Thanks 2Love this 5Oh no 0 - Maryann H.San Francisco, CA143453Dec 2, 2023
Recently joined Live Fit Gym Cole Valley and am wondering why I never joined sooner. The location is IDEAL for me in Cole Valley since I'm now working from home and I live 3 blocks away. I also LOVE my training sessions with Anthony! He's attentive, caring, proactive in determining how best to utilize our weekly hour together, always has great stories as he gives me instructions about new or continuing exercises. He has taught me a lot about how my own body functions and why I sometimes have pain if I don't follow his instructions. Not only is Anthony an excellent trainer, he is so motivating that I want to come to the gym as often as I can whether he's there or not. The equipment is well maintained, the staff is super friendly as has already been noted, and the gym is right across the street from Luke's Local (get a Trippy Turkey Sandwich from Sammy or Ruby), Cole Hardware and La Boulangerie in case you need anything from any of those places before or after. Peet's Coffee is just down the street too. Glad I joined! I feel so much better from working out 3x/week too!

I moved to Cole valley in September 2020, and a big part of my decision to live here was the Cole Valley Live Fit Gym. I used to go to the Hayes Valley location and loved it there also.
I hoped LFG-Cole Valley would be a home away from home during this "pandemic", and sure enough it was! Kevin, and the rest of the staff, Bob and Nicole, treat me and everyone who comes in like family.
Also, Live Fit Gym did a great job with the new appointment process via an app.
Now, the equipment. It has everything from a barbell rack with plates, smith machine, dumbbells, barbell weights, kettlebells, and cardio equipment.
Everything you need for a workout.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Liam H.San Francisco, CA03Mar 23, 2021
I love gyms like this.
This isn't Equinox- you won't find coolers full of eucalyptus towels or yoga classes led by Instagram-famous instructors. What you will find is a small, clean facility, full of modern, well-maintained equipment, staffed by professionals and patronized by a diverse array of neighbors that span generations and backgrounds. LiveFit Cole Valley has been extremely quick to adapt to changing conditions due to the coronavirus pandemic and has communicated those changes clearly and precisely to its clients. They have been safely open to the community as much as they are allowed.
I wish there were more gyms like this in San Francisco- every neighborhood could benefit from an affordable yet high quality facility that supports the physical health of its community. I consider myself lucky to live in Cole Valley, and access to a gym like this is a big part of that.Helpful 2Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0
