Small-group training in West Oakland
Group fitness classes in Oakland

What our classes give you
Closer to personal training than a follow-the-instructor class — here's what that means on the floor.
Real correction
Small class sizes mean a coach can watch your form, cue you in the moment, and scale each movement so it fits where you are today.
A program that builds
Not random sweat. A structured strength-and-conditioning plan that progresses week to week so you can actually see yourself getting stronger.
Accountability
A community that notices when you show up — and when you don't. The kind of room that keeps you coming back.
No intimidation
Built for everyday Oakland adults. No ego, no keeping up with 30 strangers — just coaching that meets you at your level.
Scales for beginners
Brand new to working out? Every movement scales and the coach adjusts it for you on the spot. Most people leave already planning the next class.
