TRX Training Center

Love the classes, love the instructors. Phenomenal workout, location, and group atmosphere. Pains me to knock a few stars off and I’ve been holding off on writing this review because I didn’t want to be quick to judge– but honestly, the front desk woman (whatever her name is) is so incredibly off-​putting and borderline rude.
For a customer-​facing position, I would think at the very least would she’d at least pretend to be a bit more cheery and welcoming in such a setting. I don’t get why these personality types take on these kinds of jobs– it baffles me.

The staff was super friendly when I had walked in for the first time. I had no idea this place would be so popular! I was placed on the waiting list for the class I had intended to take, and people were requesting to be placed on the waiting list for other classes days in advance! Luckily I got in.
The class I took was with Miguel Vargas. I introduced myself to him and told him I was new. I had no idea what I was doing, but Miguel was quick to help me out every time I couldn’t put my feet in the straps or needed help on positioning myself for certain workouts. He had made the experience of being new so much fun and I am so glad that my first TRX class was with him! I met so many cool people! Thanks Miguel

LOVE this place! Really challenging, but fun workouts. The instructors I’ve tried have all been great. The TRX Fit and Circuit training classes are my favorite. I was intimidated by this place at first, but the instructors are really helpful and nice and the atmosphere is not intimidating at all. I think it’s appropriate for all levels, you just need to go at your own pace and modify exercises as necessary. I highly recommend.

1^st time I have tried this place. I loved it. Everyone was so nice and the instructor was great he knew it was my 1^st time here and in that class he went over the basics with me then started the class. He kept the class going at its regular pace while also making sure I was following the class. The place was clean and a nice set up. Can’t wait to go back!

I’ve been doing TRX for a solid 5 years and absolutely love it. I got a job in the city and was super excited to do TRX at the training center, where all the TRX super star coaches are born! I’ve taken a few classes already and absolutely love how all the teachers incorporate TRX and functional training into them. I had fallen of the fitness wagon for a while because, well lets face it I just got lazy, but with my best friends wedding next month I need to get back on that wagon ASAP. I am so glad I joined this place! It is just what I needed to get motivated again and I can’t wait to get that rock solid core I had before I became a lazy, sour patch kid eating lazy bum.
I hate to knock of a couple of stars because I love TRX so much but I have to because of the very unwelcoming, unhelpful woman at the front desk. The first time I went in there and asked her for to give me information she said, «information about???» Hmmm… I don’t know, perhaps I want information about whether Pluto is in fact a planet or not? No… I want information about the center, pricing would be nice, how many classes you offer, if you have lockers/​showers, etc? I could think of a million different things you can give me information about. Maybe even a tour of the place? And then… I asked her how I could sign up for classes on the App and she said I just had to log in. Well, she never wrote down my e-​mail to begin with so apparently the App had to telepathically know I existed. Blah. What an unpleasant human being.
Anyway, go here, you won’t regret it!

I truly believe that doing TRX is an incredible way to work out your entire body in a safe and effective way and I believe that Miguel is the perfect person to teach you. He is kind, witty, supportive, energetic, challenging, humble, and sincere. He’s not asking for anything but your best and he’s willing and ready to help you get there. He combines strength and cardio into a seamless, exciting, and fun workout. It’s hard to make me smile and sweat at 6am but for some reason, Miguel always does.

I’ve had plenty of memberships at different gyms but could never get myself to work out because I didn’t know what I was doing. Even when I’d get a trainer, weights and floor exercises just weren’t doing it for me. I was bored.
Then I discovered TRX and my entire outlook on exercise changed. Finally, an intense workout that’s actually a lot of fun. Luckily, we live in a city that has an entire training center dedicated to it. This place offers TRX classes pretty much all day, which is really convenient on days when I realize last minute that I can go for a workout. The facility is also huge so you usually don’t have to worry about the class being too full or too crowded. There’s also towel service, showers, locker rooms, and water refill stations so it’s a pretty accommodating place.
Jamel is really one of the best of the best. He pushes the class past their limits and takes the time to walk around and observe everyone’s form. Not to mention, the music he plays really helps me get in the zone. TRX Body Blast is my go to class because it’s offered pretty much every evening and consists entirely of suspension training. You can really get a great total body workout because you spend the whole time pushing and pulling your own body weight, doing lunges and squats, and then core work. If I’m feeling like a more intense workout with more variety, TRX sweat literally makes me sweat bullets. Like puddles on the floor kind of sweating. Call me a wimp but that’s just as far as I’m willing to push my workouts lol. I attended his TRX Circuit Training class at HIT Fit SF once and it was the most insane workout I’ve ever gotten. I haven’t mustered up the courage to do it again haha. If you’re looking to get your ass kicked, his TRX Circuit Training class is the one for you. I’d probably do it again… just eventually.
Jamel doesn’t teach TRX Strong, but that’s also one of my favorite classes because it kicks the usual TRX exercises up a notch. I wish they offered it in the evenings though.
I also love anything Alexis Craig teaches (see my review for Sweat Republic) because she really knows her stuff. I think she’s on vacation or something but I hope she comes back soon!
TRX is seriously addicting, and the TRX Training Center in Nob Hill is a godsend. My only gripe is that parking can be difficult during prime time, but otherwise it’s one of my favorite places to work out. Ever.

So glad this studio is on classpass, all the instructors are great and the workout is awesome. I mostly do body blast and strong classes and they kick my ass without making me do cardio!

This review is first of Jamel Ramiro. It isn’t often I say someone is truly good at their job in every way. Jamel is in rare company. Fantastic, professional instructor. Makes all levels of fitness welcome and pushes you hard.
Second, the facility. It is top notch and always clean. The staff is always gracious. The only comment I would have is the downstairs studio is a bit cramped.

Though the instructors are great here, the classes could be a hit or miss. I recently took a Circuit Training class with Miguel, which was one of the better classes. I liked how the class alternated between floor and TRX exercises. However, I wish that we could incorporate dumbbells and more weight training. Miguel did a great job demonstrating each move and watching for form. The class will get your heart pumping, but it’s definitely manageable. You begin with a brief warm up of dynamic stretches and core strengthening, then move onto two circuits with cardio bursts and end with a cool down. There’s a countdown clock in the room to help keep track of time. Also loved the energy in the room!
Bonus points for clean facilities and complimentary towel service.

I am a personal trainer and fitness instructor, I have taken a lot of fitness classes and I am very picky on my standards and expectations for a class. I am also just starting to instruct TRX in LA, and I came up to visit friends and family in SF last weekend. My friend recommended me to take Jamel Ramiro’s Monday at noon Circuit Training TRX class.
Wow, it is seriously one of the best classes I have ever taken in my life! Jamel kept me sweating the whole time and I have a hard time sweating drops to the ground, he had so much variety of moves to keep the pace super interesting and fun, I also felt well taken cared of for he was constantly checking me and everyone and he made adjustments on me at least 6 – 7 times to make sure I was doing the moves as correctly as possible. I live to workout, and I checked my watch thinking I was almost done, and it was only 30 mins into the class! I still had so much more to go, the feeling that you are already hitting your max when it is only half way through the class is really rare for me and I really appreciate his style and programming.
Jamel Ramiro is awesome, he is a great instructor who takes his job very seriously to make sure you do a good job in his class. Any fitness level can take his class, he will take good care of you!

I posted a result photo in gallery. I love this place and my results; and most importantly, I feel stronger and my energy is incredible. No dieting or extra cardio necessary. I’ve taken classes from all the instructors, and it hasn’t gotten old yet! There is so much variety and I learn new moves and reach strength milestones frequently.
Recently, I went to Hawaii and wore bikinis. For the first time in my life, I had visible abs and obliques (not to mention nice arms). Compliments came left and right from strangers and friends alike. My coolest and most unexpected compliments were on my «teardrop thighs,» really, who notices?! TRX carved it out for me and the results are obvious!
Everybody is so friendly here. This is a place where you can work hard and get sweaty. I push myself and I want to become even better and stronger, which will save my body and preserve my back in the future. Will post more updates in a few months… :)

Got introduced to this place through ClassPass, and all the trainers for the TRX classes are legit. All of them head up intense workouts and aren’t super critical with anybody in the classes — basically, they all make you feel comfortable. The circuit training classes are the best for a hard workout.
They’ve got full locker rooms with showers, and then 2 separate bathrooms.
Nice place overall for TRX workouts.

I’ve been a member at the TRX Training Center for over 3 years now and am still an avid fan of TRX. TRX is the only membership I’ve maintained for so long for a few reasons.
1) Instructors — I absolutely adore all of the instructors here! Their friendliness, patience, expertise and passion is evident. Asking me to pick ONE is like asking me to pick which child is my favorite. You can NOT ever go wrong with anyone of them at the TRX Training Center. I absolutely LOVE Jamel for his professionalism and guaranteed ass whipping! I always find myself gasping for air in his class with barely any strength left to do the next move BUT, I do notice that I am 1% stronger.
2) Challenging & Fun — Despite being a member for over 3 years now, I am still constantly challenged with the workouts which is another reason I’m still a member. It has helped me gain better control over my overall body movements, gained agility and a darn pretty solid core while toning my muscles!
3) TRX is great conditioning and safe. I don’t have to worry about injuries and the exercises helps my foundation and isn’t just vanity exercises that helps me look good in a bikini.

I’ve taken 3 classes here so far, two Body Blast classes with Miguel and one Circuit Training class with Lielen.
They are both amazing, but my favorite is Body Blast! Miguel is funny, high-​energy, helpful, and all-​around awesome.
If you want to have some fun while sculpting your body, take Miguel’s class!

I never thought I’d say that TRX is one of my favorite things to do, but I think as far as strength training goes, it is pretty damn amazing — it works so many muscle groups using your own body weight and you can adjust your difficulty simply by changing where you place your feet. TRX is truly for all levels of fitness, which I did not really believe until I came here.
As a new TRX-​er, the front desk staff helped me get set up and I took my first class with Alexis Craig. Alexis is by far my favorite instructor — she’s a total firecracker and amazingly strong and doesn’t make you feel like you’re completely out of your league even if you’re struggling and your sweat is pooling on the floor beneath you. Her workouts are challenging and super fun. I’ve also taken morning class with Charles Lantz — also very hardcore — I left his class feeling completely exhausted but pumped up for the rest of my day.
The TRX training center is spacious, with a full locker room and showers. Parking in the area can be tricky in the afternoons, but the location is great — pretty central to a few MUNI lines and surrounded by coffee shops & restaurants if you need a refuel after class. Now, time to convince the hub to join me…

Recently broke down and started Unilocaling, making a list of things I really dig… I dig these guys.
Came to take a class with a friend this summer using a visitor pass and got hooked quickly… Pretty much the antithesis of an old school gym with benches and cardio machines; here everything is an open studio with suspension trainers and predicated on using your own body weight to develop core strength. Though you can schedule one-​on-​ones with the instructors, primarily this is a class based exercise studio. I definitely enjoy the high energy level– There are a bunch of different classes offered and a number of instructors. If you come regularly, you get a nice combination of classes focused on building strength and cardio.
As for results, I came five days a week for the $ 100 30-​day introductory offer and lost 11 pounds. In three months I knocked off 16lbs. My weight has definitely stabilized now (though I still have some secret goals) but I went from 180 lbs in July to the low 160s in October.
Update: 6 months since I joined, and total weight loss of 23 lbs. 13% total body weight shed. TRX is legit!
3 months from now you’ll wish you started today!

I started using the TRX suspension trainer four years ago. I am now 76 and earned a TRX suspension trainer certification two years ago. I also now use the TRX RIP TRAINER. The training program in San Francisco was awesome. The facility was perfect for it’s purpose. The Leader of the program set a terrific pace and I learned many, many new exercises. My TRX system goes with me on my vacations, and I continue my routine every day. I Strongly recommend purchase of the TRX FORCE APP. You have to see it to believe it! I do push ups and pull-​ups every morning,… But no more weightlifting.
TRX Is keeping me feeling younger. What more could I ask for?

Amazing classes.
Positive instructors.
Clean facility.
This place is top notch — you will not regret coming here ! TRX has changed my body and I have learned to love my workouts. I have never felt stronger & happier with my body.
Not my fault if you get hooked on TRX :) Earn it!

AWESOMENESS! I ventured here today as they were open with classes available on Labor Day… Just because it’s a holiday for some doesn’t mean I can take the day off from working out!
Body Blast (total-​body TRX Suspension Training) was a GREAT workout! The class went by so fast — that’s how much I enjoyed it! And, I can’t believe I held most of my planks — there was so much energy in the room. Oh man, I was sweating so much… I can’t wait to feel the soreness tomorrow! Jamming music during the class, too. Anyhow, I’m so glad I found this place; I’m excited to return for more classes!
Clean facility. Towel service. The only thing — I was so surprised that class participants did not spray/​wipe down the straps and mats following conclusion of the class…
