I highly recommend going to StrongFriends! I took a semi-private group training class with Alex and it was absolutely amazing. Alex taught me a lot of new exercises that a focused on mobility and strength. He spent a lot of time making sure we have good form with emphasis on certain muscle groups. He is one of the most knowledgeable trainers in San Francisco and explains concepts very well. Additionally, Julia is also an excellent trainer. She is such an inspiration for all women to get stronger. She gives great advice on nutrition which has transformed my body. Overall they are a dynamic duo and I am so excited that they finally opened in my neighborhood!

One of the best new gyms that’s opened up for both classes and personal training. Alex is the best around. I’ve been going to him for personal training for two years. He’s taken me from a struggling recovery after two shoulder surgeries to the best shape I’ve been in. He adapts his teaching to people at all levels and really helps you learn the proper technique. Lifting weights can be intimidating but Alex makes it simple. He’s a great person to learn from and always brings the best energy and positivity!

Julia and Alex are amazing! Could not recommend this gym more! Excellent classes for all levels — they make everything very approachable and clear, and it is so nice to have classes capped at a smaller number of individuals. Despite being new to strength training, I have never felt overwhelmed or nervous in class, and their coaching is so welcoming and reassuring!

Great gym run by great people! I’ve been taking classes and doing personal training with Alex for two years and have gotten stronger than I ever expected. The atmosphere here is friendly and community oriented, but you’ll still be pushed to your limit. Definitely check it out!

StrongFriends is a spacious, light-filled, and community-focused gym! Alex and Julia are fantastic coaches and they both have a ton of experience training clients 1:1 and leading effective group classes. I personally have been training with Alex for two years and have reached many of my fitness goals, in addition to goals I never thought I'd be able to achieve. He makes working out challenging but fun, and he is skilled at tailoring his programming so that I am making progress every week. He spends a lot of time making sure I have the best form possible and to this day, I have not had a single injury despite lifting the heaviest I ever have. In addition to being a knowledgable trainer, Alex is also very funny and he cares about the relationships that he builds with his clients. I highly recommend StrongFriends if you want to work with motivated and talented coaches while having the best time getting in shape.
