Impact Fitness has been an incredible training gym for me! Liam's very welcoming and quick to respond to my inquiries. I've been training with Ed for three months, and it's been a fantastic experience. Ed is an amazing trainer who works at a pace that's challenging but manageable. Since starting, I've noticed significant improvements in my daily life—I feel energized, I feel more confident, and I can now carry my baby around for hours without breaking my back!! Ed’s also quite personable and engaging, which really adds to the overall experience. For the first time, I genuinely look forward to going to the gym:) 10/10 would recommend!

I have been doing 1:1 training with Liam for 6 months and I have nothing but positive things to say! Not only is Liam extremely knowledgable, but he tailors the programs to your needs and goals, and he makes it fun! Every few weeks he switches up the program to keep things fresh and keep you feeling motivated and accomplished. I feel a lot stronger and have built a lot more muscle, endurance and overall confidence in my abilities. I typically have a strong preference for female trainers but Liam is knowledgable about women's bodies and cycles and is the first male trainer that I have felt comfortable training with. The gym itself is in really great condition with lots of equipment and you won't ever feel crowded :) I would recommend Impact Fitness Oakland to anyone who is looking for a fun and supportive place to get serious about their health and fitness!

I’ve been training with Liam for about 10 months, and it has been an outstanding experience from the very beginning. I’ve steadily increased my strength and stamina over this time, and it’s all thanks to Liam's expertise, attentiveness, and motivating coaching style. The programs are challenging but so much fun, keeping me consistently engaged and excited to show up for every session. The facility itself is top-notch—well-equipped with everything you could possibly need and exceptionally clean, which creates a comfortable and welcoming environment to train in. There’s also plenty of parking, showers, and changing rooms. If you’re looking for a personal trainer who is experienced, supportive, and makes fitness enjoyable, I can’t recommend Liam and Impact Fitness enough. My journey here has been transformative, and I’m so grateful to be a part of this community.

I highly recommend working with Liam & Ed. I’ve been doing 1:1 training with them for 9 months and have seen a difference. They understand my goals and tailored a fitness plan accordingly. They also help with nutrition plans and help me stay accountable. The workouts are varied, challenging, and fun! The gym itself is spacious and has all the equipment you would need. Parking, showers, changing rooms all very helpful too

I joined Impact Fitness Oakland in January after I decided to get serious about my health. I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and prediabetes. I had gym memberships before but never used them because gyms can feel intimidating and confusing. And I just thought I could never be that person. Ed and Liam are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and kind. They create a really welcoming space that is comfortable and judgement-free. I immediately felt comfortable to actually try, ask questions, and just be a newbie to weight training. And they made me love exercise! Ed is a great coach who explains things well and knows how to encourage me to do things that I never thought I could do. In addition to losing weight and feeling better in my body, I have built up an unexpected confidence and joy from coming here. It has truly changed my life. Most importantly, I no longer have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or prediabetes!! My doctor was very proud of me. And I’m proud of me, too! I never would have gotten to this point without Ed, Liam, and Impact Fitness Oakland.

I have been going to Impact Fitness’s Functional Strength Training Group Sessions for one year, and I can't say enough good things about it! Liam and Ed are incredibly supportive and encouraging, which has been a game-changer for me in terms of consistency. Their guidance has helped me stay on track with my fitness goals, without any guilt! In terms of health benefits, I'm seeing a noticeable difference. I feel stronger, more energized, and overall just amazing. The workouts are challenging but always unique and functional. The atmosphere is always positive and motivating. Overall, Impact Fitness has been instrumental in my fitness journey. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gym where you not only get fit but also feel supported and encouraged every step of the way. Love Liam, Ed, and my fellow Gym Mates!

This is the best gym I’ve ever been a part of. Liam and Ed created and cultivate an inclusive, friendly, and inspirational environment to help achieve fitness goals. I have been a client for more than a year and they have helped me far exceed the expectations I had when I first showed up. While I was intimidated due to my poor shape and lack of knowledge when starting out, they really made me feel they’re on my team. They helped with workouts and nutrition, and also helped me hold myself accountable (no shaming). Their body knowledge is top notch and they safely helped me recover from injury and reach my goals. Plus, it’s never boring, as they’re always introducing new variations or alternatives to keep things interesting. While I hope there will always be a spot for me here, so don’t want them to get too full (lol), I’m writing this review in case someone out there is where I started and needs that push to call them and get started.

About a year ago I started searching for personal trainers, as I was pretty comfortable with weight lifting on my own but wanted to start pushing myself with heavier weights and different exercises. I am so glad I found Liam and this gym! I've been doing 1:1 training with Liam for about a year now, and you can tell how much he loves what he does and truly cares about the people he works with. Liam has so much knowledge about training, and offers different variations of exercises that you can also do at home. We switch up the workout routine every 4 weeks, which I appreciate as it allows me to try new exercises and also come back to the old ones to see how much I've progressed. Liam ensures you have the right form while doing the exercises, always checks in on how you're feeling after a session, and most importantly ensures you are having fun and enjoying the workouts. He introduced me to boxing and we've incorporated it into our weekly routine, something I never knew I'd be into! I haven't tried the group classes yet but that's next on my list, as they look like they are a lot of fun and the other trainer, Ed, seems great as well. I definitely recommend this gym to anyone looking for a great place to work out that also feels like a community.
