Everything about this YMCA is welcoming.The people look like real people. Not tan Barbie dolls and ken dolls. They just look like real people who are there to get into shape. Same with the people who...

After touring several big-name local gyms, I finally settled on the Y on Spear Street. I was originally skeptical, thanks mostly on outmoded stereotypes based on the vocal stylings of the Village Peo...

I never leave the gym in the mornings without a good story to tell my housemates about the characters I run into while there- the woman who wears the blindfold and thong leotard on the eliptical, the...

A mega gym, san francisco style. People with real-world bodies, young, old, flabby, toned, mentally challenged, some in wheelchairs. The members and staff are such characters, and so distinctive...

This used to be my gym. MY gym. All the staff knew me (and made fun of how much I ran on that one treadmill), I met some really good friends (they laughed at me, too) and got some really buff legs....

They do not try to rip you off or to sell you anything here. People are not judgemental and are not constantly people watching - everyone just wants to get healthy. Also, there is a very nice complimentary...

For the price, you can't beat the equipment and space. But I can't justify giving this place more than 3 stars due to the relentless stench in the men's locker room. They close the club once a year to...

I blame this gym for my dislike of all OTHER gyms. That's probably a little demented and a lame excuse not to work out but really, when you go you will see what I mean. The people here are all nice...

I love this gym, and they love me back. All the cardio equipment overlooks the bay - what could be better? It is a great location for those who work in the financial district. The classes they offer are well...
