Shift SF

Shift is a great gym to work out in, especially if you’re a serious endurance athlete. The facilities are top notch, but the staff is the real selling point here. Nowhere else do you get taught by the best in the business. Professional triathletes, professional cyclists, coaches. The folks that teach here are big names in the endurance world, and they’re happy to share their knowledge with you. The owner, Susan, is «one of us» herself, a very accomplished and passionate triathlete. You’ll often see her next to you in class, suffering right along side you!
You don’t need to be in tip top shape to work out here, but you do need to be serious enough that you own your own equipment. The classes are computrainer classes, where you bring in your own bike and ride it on a fancy ergometer. The clientele are welcoming and friendly, and seem to be a pretty tight group. The facilities are nice and always spotless. The staff are passionate and clearly enjoy what they do.

Great, friendly service and really professional workouts at least with Laurence. The workouts were very, very challenging but Laurence paired them with motivational ideas and an emphasis on nutrition. You use your own bike, so the equipment is what you make of it but the staff was very friendly and eager to please.
