Update: all coaches are great. ☺️I agree the coach really matters. We pay a premium for it. Mikey and Quinton have been super— encouraging and attentive, watching form and making sure we are having a good time to boot. Some of the other coaches were not as attentive, even when they didn’t have other stations to manage. When lots of stations are present, I totally understand if they are not able to be watching everyone (not the best situation- that’s a general OT criticism). The front desk staff have been friendly and helpful. I feel like my heart health has improved in just a couple of weeks after not exercising much for the past few years- for that and the fun music and coaches 5 stars.

After 2 months of being a member, I had to come back and edit my review because there has been tremendous improvement! I love the community, the coaches (Mikey is my fav), and the people who work in the front! I highly recommend this location. The only thing that sucks is parking on Valdez and potentially having your windows busted but thats a part of living in Oakland (I guess).

Called several times to cancel my membership, yet was still charged for couple months after repeated calls. Was told by three different employees that it will be taken care of. Felt something was off by being given the run around. Doesn’t seem like they have their paperwork in order and from speaking with them, there is some disorganization. Will update review if this gets resolved.Update:Spoke with the Manager and full refund was processed.

I am absolutely enamored with this studio! The ambiance exudes an incredibly warm and inviting atmosphere, and Mikey, the coach, is simply exceptional. His contagious enthusiasm and motivational coaching style make every class an absolute delight. Im not sure why he hasn't already ascended to the position of head coach, given his undeniable talent and unwavering passion. The classes consistently draw a packed crowd, and the energy within the studio is absolutely intoxicating. Furthermore, the front desk staff members exemplify extraordinary kindness and helpfulness, further enhancing the overall positive experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this studio, as well as OTF in general. It has undeniably transformed my life for the better! My deepest gratitude to the entire team for crafting such an extraordinary environment.

Absolutely LOVE OTF! I've been going for a little over month now and I've been able to visit 4 different locations and experience different classes and coaching styles. Mikey is by far my favorite coach he is supportive and keeps up an AMAZING energy from beginning to end. I go out of my way to attend his classes at this location and the Alameda location if I can. However, I definitely wish he coached more days at this location. He makes sure that everyone feels comfortable, he talks to everyone during the class and helps with form, and even hypes us up by name when we are doing good. The vibes from beginning to end are just amazing. Katie is amazing as well, she coached my very first class and is definitely one of the reasons I signed up, I am so happy she's coaching at this location! I am definitely still a beginner and one of my favorite things about these particular coaches, is that they give us move options during the explanation of the circuits (on the floor) so I don't feel singled out by having to ask for an option after we start. Ashleigh doesn’t do this so I am not sure if that is just their style but it’s very much appreciated. The front desk team is always so nice and incredibly helpful, shout out to Eva for always being so welcoming! They also always hype us up when starting and ending our classes and it truly makes a difference. The studio itself is amazing, the beauty bar is a life saver and the amenities are amazing (I love the lockers instead of cubbies) and is always so clean! By far my favorite studio, glad it’s my home one. I absolutely recommend OTF and Mikey's classes!

Great lil gym with super friendly & helpful staff and coaches. The amenities are pretty robust and polished for the size of the space, too! Conveniently located near a few bus lines, and parking isn’t too tough (as far as downtown goes).

Absolutely love it here! From the front desk staff to the coaches they’re all excellent!Reading the other reviews, I haven’t had a similar experience. I have been touched by a coach in every single class. They’re always correcting my form or pushing me! Coach Mikey, Sierra, Ashleigh, and Katie are all amazing! My favorite class of the week is taking coach Mikey the last class of the week; Mikey spends extra time stretching and doing mobility and it’s truly amazing.The downtown OTF crew has been nothing but spectacular! Give it a try

Great trainers and staff. I'm completely motivated.
