OUR STORY 

FITNESS SF is a local, family-owned group of fitness clubs in the San Francisco Bay Area. Our locations include Marin, Oakland, SF Castro, SF Embarcadero, SF Fillmore, SF Mid Market, SF SOMA and SF Transbay. After operating as a gym franchise for over 20 years, we realized that our employees and our community were becoming its own unique brand. In 2012, FITNESS SF was born. Knowing it would be a challenge to start out fresh, we focused on three core principles; a passionate staff, high-end facilities, and affordable pricing.
