Hale Fitness

Recently started with Hale Fitness and have had such a positive experience! The coaches are incredible and work as a team to ensure we're getting the best programming possible and everyone I've met has been so incredibly welcoming and kind. It's a real community-oriented environment with people of all levels of fitness. Felt immediately comfortable.

Well worth the time and money!! The intro interview convinced me right off the bat that this was the place for me when they asked inclusive, thoughtful questions about my mentality toward fitness, my fears, and my health goals.The coaches work hard to customize their work out plans, food plans, and even their communication style to fit your lifestyle and motivate you in the most supportive way possible. When big unpredictable events have come up in my life, they’ve been able to quickly change plans to accommodate my schedule and where I’m at physically/emotionally.I’ve historically always identified as non-athletic and was very self conscious about sweating in public. Hale has completely changed my relationship to my body and given me confidence and self assurance in myself I didn’t know was possible.I am a relatively hyper vigilant woman around men, and all the male coaches and members are respectful and kind. I feel safe at this gym. There is genuine diversity (age, gender, ethnicity, etc) amongst the coaches and gym members! Hale has created a supportive patient and welcoming community :)

As an (aging) athlete and life long runner who hates the concept of gyms…Hale is not a gym Hale has been the best way to get fit and strong. I feel like the community culture is unmatched. We have new members all the time and we all welcome folks in at whatever stage we are in our fitness journey. I love the diverse group of people and coaches. I hear the price to join is high, so that is something to consider. Once in, you will 100% make progress and likely surpass any goal you set.

At 40 years old, I had never established a consistent exercise routine. I hated the traditional gyms, was very self conscious about my abilities, and terrified to hurt myself because I didn't know what I was doing. As a working mom of 3, I couldn't afford it. Time, money, or any recovery time should anything happen. I always said, IF I were to do anything, I'd want a personal trainer to teach me what to do and work with me based on my unique body, abilities, and goals. That was Hale for me. I joined because it checked all the boxes I was looking for. I was doubtful at first because CrossFit, as a fitness approach, was intimidating and intense, from what I had seen. But Hale does a beautiful job of being inclusive and supportive in EVERY aspect. I really appreciate their holistic approach (including a nutritional coach!). When I attended my first Guest Day, I was impressed by the wide range of it's clientele (age, gender expression, backgrounds, experience, and abilities). I actually had a broken ankle at the time, and Coach Heidi (who is the freakin' best, btw) found a way to include me and do modifications, so I could participate. I was hooked. I've now been with the program for 9 months and am so happy here (pic attached is me as Athlete of the Week in Sept!). The community of coaches and athletes are so lovely; genuinely happy, positive, supportive...amazing! The people are what keep me coming back, and I'm so grateful just to be a part of it. Oh, and I've lost 15 lbs, too. ;) But most importantly, I feel stronger than I ever have! 💪🏼Thank you, Team Hale!!!!

Joined Hale in Aug 2022. Followed my long term workout buddy Gloria - I love Hale for the discipline in nutrition & fitness while having fun. Hale has taught me to stay consistent.I love the programming aspects of class - I have become stronger and improved in health !!

I have been with Hale since the beginning and can say without question that it is the best gym on the planet. Best coaches. Best community. Best vibe. I have had the privilege to work with many/most of the coaches. Expert coaching focused on YOU! They will quickly customize your program if needed. Coaches worked around any pain I’m experiencing to help me get stronger and feel my best. The members are some of the coolest, kindest welcoming people you would want to meet. HIGHLY recommended. I’m so grateful and it’s worth every penny!

$5000 for a 8 week program? I'm out. And of course they have a discount if you sign up right in front of them in the consultation call. Guess how much the price was.... *DRUM ROLL PLS* $3500! Ok cya later.

I’ll give the benefit of the doubt that the trainers and program are great (hence the 5 stars), but the process to try to join this gym was so extensive that it required two lengthy interviews. I get it, you’re trying to curate the membership - but the questions they asked were honestly a bit too personal and invasive. I politely declined after the second call. Just a heads up to anyone thinking of joining.

Maybe as a member, it is a different experience, but my review is based upon trying to drop in.The day before I was looking to drop in, I messaged Hale through IG asking if they are currently accepting drop-ins and if so do I need to sign up for a class ahead of time. I asked because, due to the pandemic, etc. I know that my gym is far more strictly regulated than it used to be. I was told to just swing by and didn’t have to sign up ahead of time. Arriving 15 minutes early, when I introduced myself, I was told that they don’t allow drop-ins, the class is already full, etc. This was an annoyance to say the least.The coach asked me how often I’m in the area, and pre shutdown, I used to come fairly regularly to visit family. Seemingly the coach was seeing whether it was worth letting me stay or asking me to leave. Odd inquiry. Generally when in the east Bay Area, depending upon where I am at the moment, I go to pacific strength or grassroots CrossFit to drop in. Likely will stick to going there - both had great communities and good spaces.

The atmosphere was very friendly. The people were inviting and made me feel comfortable. The instructor was informative, explained the routine and modifications you could use, also checked to make sure if I had issues that my limit my performance. Great place and people. Loved it!
