Live Fit Gym • Nob Hill — Local services in San Francisco

I've been a part of this gym for a while. I think 90% of us come here because of the location convenience, meaning, we all live around the area and unfortunately there aren't many options around. It's a very basic gym, super small and with minimum equipment. They don't have towels, don't offer locker rooms, the bathroom is constantly dirty, their ventilation system stops working often; and whenever an equipment fails, it takes them forever to fix it or get the part to replace it. There's also long hours where no one is in the front desk, and even when they're there, they'll barely say "hello" which feels impersonal. The personal coaches from their gym, will make sure to take all the already small free-weights area, so only them and whoever they're coaching, are the only ones able to get to use that space. On top of it, they'll turn off their ventilators and air conditioning system at 8:30 pm, so good luck if you're trying to get a workout done at that time, or run on the treadmill. The gym closes at 11 pm, BUT, they won't allow you to enter pass 10 pm, because apparently we all have to pay the price for a few customers that broke the rule of entering or leaving after 11 pm. I'm also a member of the YMCA, which in contrast offers way more, for $88, only reason I don't have it as my only sports facility, is because they close pretty early. I think LiveFit thinks of themselves as a "prestigious" gym, when in reality is just an overpriced gym that offers the bare minimum and somehow they get away with it. They need...

I joined this gym about 2 months ago after looking around at places, and I’m so glad that I did. It’s just a few short blocks from my house, I go early before work in the morning and most times I’m alone or there’s not too many other early birds. It’s a smaller location than Polk street but it’s just right for me.

There’s a few benches to use, dumb bells and barbells. Various weight machines. Variety of cardio machines. The stairmill is the best!

No showers, (which I don’t need) but there’s lockers for day use.

There’s even mints at the water/towel station!

The staff is great, especially Andrew. He’s a friendly face always smiling and encouraging. I’ve asked him many questions since becoming a member and he’s always helpful. It’s a real neighborhood vibe, never stuffy, never pretentious.

Also, no creeps ever!!! Just people...

I love this gym! I’ve tried all of the locations and I’ve very pleased with my experience. The staff are friendly and I love that the gym doesn’t feel packed and full with creepy gym bros so it’s easy to workout when you want and feels super safe for women.

The fairmont location is my favorite but only because they have the steam room and sauna.

If your home base is bush street location, you will be very happy there as Andrew helps run the facility and works above and beyond to make you feel welcomed.

Overall, really...
