Strong Friends Gym

Never trained for a Hyrox before, let alone competed in one - but Marios class got me in the best shape for it!I highly recommend Strong Friends as a gym- such a great atmosphere, and world class training to help you reach your fitness goals.

I found Strong Friends while searching online for a strength and conditioning gym in SF, and after reading the incredible reviews, I decided to give it a try. As a member for over a year now, I can confidently say every review is spot on. Alex and Julia have created an inclusive gym for all levels that truly prioritizes proper form and moving well (something very rare to find!).Ive trained at a variety of gymsincluding CrossFitbut Ive never improved my form, skills, and overall strength as much as I have at Strong Friends. A special shout-out to Coach Mario and his hybrid conditioning classes. He does an incredible job breaking down movements (I finally learned how to row properly!) while delivering a seriously challenging workout. Thanks to his coaching, a friend I met at Strong Friends and I competed in our first HYROX race and beat our goal time.Im so grateful for the top-notch coaching and supportive community at this gym. 10/10 recommend.

I joined this gym over the summer after years of struggling to find an exercise routine I actually enjoyed and could stick to. I was honestly pretty intimidated by weightlifting, which is why Strong Friends felt like the perfect fit. I take the group classes, and they strike an ideal balance between personal training and a group setting I get enough individualized guidance to feel supported and safe, while also building friendships and a real sense of community.Ive been primarily taking classes with Lizzie, and she is fantastic. Shes incredibly supportive while still knowing exactly how to push and challenge you in the best way. The classes have genuinely become the highlight of my week, and in just a few months Ive noticed myself getting significantly stronger. Im so glad I joined, and can't recommend Strong Friends more!
