Left Coast Sweat

I must say I had a fantastic time taking this class. My girlfriend invited me one Saturday afternoon to meet some of her friends here. Upon arriving, the setting was absolutely beautiful, with the Golden Gate Bridge in the background, along the fun and energetic environment of Chrissy Field. Allie, the instructor, was very welcoming, friendly, and provided an engaging and supportive experience for me. Being the only male in the class didn’t stop me from really throwing myself into a completely new type of workout.
Speaking of the workout, I must admit, I did doubt that this would give me anything to write home about, or on Unilocal for that matter (but here I am!). As someone who enjoys yoga, I was actually quite challenged the entire time — combining traditional yoga with the additional challenge of balancing on a surfboard, with some intermittent cardio, as well as some light weight training exercises to work the legs and arms assisted by a 10 – 12 lb. sand bag. It was certainly a fun change of pace from my normal gym routine.
I consider this a hidden gem for any gym going guys or girls out there. Specifically for the guys tho; you might be thinking, «this really isn’t for me»…well contrary to what your ego is telling you, here is why you should try it… yoga + surfboard + beach + beautiful women = zero regrets, fun, and a challenging workout.
I’ll definitely be doing SurfSet again!

I LOVE Left Coast Sweat! It’s such an amazing class — and one of the only classes I realllllly look forward to! It’s such a great combo of intense and fun. How could you not have a blast? You’re doing yoga, mixed with a little cardio on a surfboard with a Golden Gate Bridge backdrop. Get ready to fall in love with a whole new kind of workout!
Allie is also a very encouraging instructor and you can count on her for an awesome playlist.
Can’t think of a better way to spend my Saturday mornings!

This class was surprisingly challenging. If you’re cross training for anything I would highly recommend SurfSET. Not to mention its great getting to be outside for your workout for a change. I just wish classes were held more often.

Surfset at Left Coast Sweat is by far the only workout class I always look forward to. What is better than having a view of the Golden Gate Bridge while you get in a killer workout? Allie is freaking awesome! She makes the class SO much fun and you can tell she is really passionate about what she’s doing.
(I don’t want to keep raving about how awesome this class is because I want to keep it my little secret! But seriously, you need to try it!)

This class rocks! You won’t even realize your working out because of the beautiful Crissy Fields view, but you will seriously feel it in your muscles the next day. The instructor Allie is awesome too. She is super nice but will still kick your butt!
I’d recommend the morning or evening classes, she puts candles on the beach around every board.

Left Coast Sweat is amazing! I’ve taken a bunch of Surfset classes and this one is my favorite so far. Allie leads a challenging class that works your entire body while still being super fun. She kept me motivated with her positive attitude and an awesome playlist. And the best part? The class is set in the most beautiful location you can imagine. Why would I go to a gym when I can break a sweat on the beach while looking at the Golden Gate Bridge? I will definitely be back for more!

I love this Surfset class! Not only is Allie an amazingly talented and giving yoga instructor, the compilation of surf styled training on the beach is unparalleled. The workout is tough, my abs and arms were sore for days at first. But each class I can maintain my balance a bit longer on the board and push harder in the cardio sand workout, to the beat and amazing backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge. She even brings candles to the early morn and evening classes. In addition to yoga, you learn basic surfing skills on land, and Allie will even throw on a wet suit and take you paddleboarding in the Bay after class if you ask. Complete Cali workout experience, love it.
