Kyle Cristin
"I love SBG NorCal! As a longtime member, I've had the pleasure of being raised in this gym surrounded by it’s community. And the biggest strength that this gym has is that community. It’s not a one-stop service where folks come to get a workout in and leave, but it’s a space that people of all different backgrounds come to connect with the community just as much as they want to train. Our head coaches Alan and Lily have also been working hard to give back to the community beyond our gym - with free workshops open to non-members as well as other community events. If you’re looking for a fun, safe environment to train and you’re interested in joining a Bay Area gym that nurtures its community reach out and try us out as a guest. We offer 10 free days to anyone that wants to check us out and see what our community is about!"
Jonathan Gonzalez
"I was a bit intimidated to start but the atmosphere was very welcoming. The instructors structured the class so it was very simple to follow even for people with no experience at all"
