Find the Best Gym Near You: Top [12] Fitness Centers in Richmond, CA

Matan Radwin I think this is the simplest and best gym around here and it’s so cheap too. There’s some really solid machines here, the free weights aren’t the best but work fine. Just try to avoid coming at peak times like late afternoon on weekdays because it’s so packed that it’s hard to get a good workout. Also hella people hoard the weights and good luck ever getting a chance to use the smith machine. But honestly these are all small problems I love planet fitness

Damon Jimenez Enn (Fairtex) brings real Muay Thai to his gym straight from Thailand. Hes a great instructor and puts time into each student.

C B Traverse has been wonderful for my kiddo. The coaches have been super supportive. They’ve been great at keeping my son actively engaged and encouraging a positive/growth mindset in my son. My son had started doing the open gym a little while ago - traverse is a great “ninja” (parkour-type) gym with lots of space for kids (and adults!) to drop in. Because of the great facility and the positive interactions with the helpful and encouraging coaches that supervise open gym, my son felt inspired to take classes at traverse. Not too long after starting classes, and with the encouragement of more great coaches, my son wanted to join the traverse team - and loves it! The summer camps and school break camps have also been a really fun way for my kiddo to be active during school breaks. Very happy that we found traverse - highly recommend!

gregg naka the equipment and all are in working order. there is tons of space in the gym - not like planet phatness. it is phone and tv free - a blessing. im there to work out, not listen to game shows. the hours ares somewhat limited, but the lower price reflects that. plus, if you are on the treadmills stationary bikes, etc, there is a pretty nice view of a little valley

Octavio Martin I’ve been training at Chaiyo Muay Thai for a while now, and I can’t recommend it enough! The coaches are highly skilled, patient, and dedicated to helping students improve, whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced fighter. The gym has a welcoming, supportive atmosphere where everyone pushes each other to get better. The training is intense but rewarding, with a great mix of technique, conditioning, and real Muay Thai fundamentals. The community here is what really sets Chaiyo apart—everyone is friendly, motivated, and respectful. If you’re looking for a place to train in Richmond, this is the spot. Whether your goal is fitness, self-defense, or competition, you’ll find top-notch instruction and a great group of people to train with. Definitely worth checking out!

Lisa Leblanc Anne Rene is an amazing, challenging instructor. I have practiced yoga for many years and she brings out a new playfulness in an advanced practice. She has a deep understanding of the asanas, related spirituality and has great music!

Kenny Moeller I cannot say enough good things about P4P and its proprietor. Jasper knows fitness. Hes an asset to the Richmond community. Pro boxer. Raised around people who approach the body with discipline. Knows exactly how to navigate injuries while building you up. At least two pieces of equipment Ive never seen before, one I hated and now I miss it. Not ready for a personal trainer? TKO classes are exactly what you need. Am I a walking billboard? No. But for the first time in a long time, I felt so good about myself. Im in better shape than I have any business being because the trust he engenders gave me the confidence to challenge myself to grow. I appreciate that he also looked out for me. Like inviting me to Thanksgiving at Richmond CoBiz. The only people hell be more dedicated to than you as his client are his children.

Ben Emmert-Aronson This place is fantastic! We brought our kids to open gym last week for the first time and they didnt stop talking about it all week. Cant wait to use the dropoff movie night. The owner is great too, and the staff are very attentive and caring with the kids.

Lisandro Lopez Best place nice people great service really helpful I recommend it

Joant cache Very good environment, nice people, very respectful and friendly. Good equipment as well. I want to add a suggestion… could be very useful if the manager adds some sandback for kicking and hitting, because this is a proactive cardio, I assure you that would be a resounding success in attracting customers. I hope you take serious my comment. Thanks.

Kenneth Stengel Awesome gym with great classes.

Julian Roy Probably the best option for strength training in the Richmond/Oakland area. Power bars, combo racks, and calibrated plates galore. Heavy pulls and chalking up strongly encouraged! Would recommend!
