RGym

Fantastic experience: After all of these years, I finally found a gym home. I work with Jenny who is an excellent trainer who customizes your workouts to achieve your goals. She is also very good at adjusting routines to stave off workout boredom and to factor in how my body feels on any given day. Shirley the owner and all of the staff are welcoming and encouraging. It’s a small operation but has all that you need if you are serious about your fitness goals. I was referred by a friend, and I have since referred another friend who works with Sachiko who is also terrific. I am a tough grader but I highly recommend RGym.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! Sachiko and Jenny are great trainers. Sachiko’s past and present experiences have given her the amazing ability to personalize her training sessions to meet her clients needs. From senior citizens (me) with scoliosis to the young athletes. She is well organized and fun to work with. I credit my improved physical abilities to Sachiko and RGym. The Gym is kept very clean, the equipment is well serviced, there is ADA access and the ENTIRE staff is just great!

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at RGym!! I joined for a short time during an extended visit and it was exactly what I needed. I actually packed some of my own equipment (because that’s what I do at my home gym) but this was not needed at all! While this is a small gym, is has EVERY accessory you could want. Even during the busier times. I could find a way to do the exercises I needed. The gym is extremely clean, has plenty of ways to wipe down equipment, and everyone cleans up after themselves. The best part of the gym is the staff. The owner, Shirley, is one of the most cheerful and welcoming people I’ve met. I had wonderful interactions with her entire team. Thanks RGym! I can’t wait to come back for my next visit!

Fantastic experience: I was instructed on the machine and the woman helping me was great

Positive experience: Edited: Yup, sorry must have mixed up with the other gym reviews I was writing. Anyway RGym is a decent size fully equipped gym located strategically near Rockridge Bart. Easily commutable with plenty of other cafes and restaurants around. Equipped with enough thread mills, ellipticals, cycling machines and weights section for regular daily workouts or book some PT time with them. Come early as the gym gets busy around 9.30am onwards then you'll be limited to 30 minutes usage time each on some of the popular machines.

Fantastic experience: Great gym

Fantastic experience: I love this little gym. Others have described the outstanding cleanliness and attention to detail. I want to show appreciation for trainer Jenny. With her I learn how to coordinate breathing, tightening the core muscles, and the rhythmic movements of the exercises she gives me. As a beginner, I don't want to just learn rote movements without sensing which muscles are doing what. With free weights, I can do a lot of the exercises at home as well on site. I can be aware of when something feels strained, and then change something, to prevent injury. I am sticking with Jenny and her calm enthusiasm.

Fantastic experience: I found the perfect gym and trainer at RGym. The gym equipment is well maintained, workout equipment cleaned regularly by staff/members and the space has good ventilation. Because the gym is small and has a membership that ranges in ages, it feels friendly and welcoming. I started working out with the trainer, Jenny Yap the week I joined the gym. I wanted to develop a workout plan that I can do with her and independently. Jenny is by far the best trainer I have worked with. She listened to my strength training goals and areas I wanted to improve and provided training plans. Her training emphasizes good form and function. Jenny is a keen observer and offers improvements to my form and solutions to specific physical challenges. For example, she provided alternate grip techniques and grip strengthening exercises to help with arthritis in my left hand. I’m very comfortable and confidence in Jenny’s training technique and will continue to work with her as my fitness level develops.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! It’s super clean and quiet. The staff are very friendly and conscientious. The owner manages the facility very well. I started coming here about a year ago after partial knee replacement. I took some of the classes from and recently began training with Jenny Yap. She is amazing. I have worked with lots of trainers at different gyms over the years. She is the best combination I’ve had of listening, knowledge about the body’s muscular systems, carefulness around injuries, encouragement, and being a role model. After having knee pain for the past year I am gradually getting stronger under Jenny’s guidance and am pain-free!

Fantastic experience: A great little gym. Nice equipment and good sanitation, friendly staff. Jenny Yap is a superb personal trainer. She was thoughtful in developing a program for me, and is good about adding new elements and making adjustments as we go along. She conveys a positive, encouraging attitude. Jenny has great attention to detail in form, and I can feel that this is helpful. I’m sticking with Jenny and her program; I’m improving and enjoying it!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! As a regular gym goer with some knowledge of personal training, this is a really great place for many people of all fitness levels, with very high quality nicely maintained equipment, superb helpful friendly service and not overly crowded. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a boutique gym experience!

Fantastic experience: Thank you Jenny Yap , RGym certified trainer, for introducing me to techniques which strengthen my core and improve balance. She is patient, cheerful, encouraging and professional. Gooo Jenny!

Positive experience: Luv the gym, and luv doing private training with Jenny, she is conscientious and thoughtful and works extremely well with mature women. This gym is owned and operated by women, with a clear focus on teaching and ensuring their clients know how to use the work out machines, free weights and other modern gym equipment easily. I am training with Jenny long term and I have periodic meetings to discuss my progress. First 6 weeks completed and i feel stronger, more optimistic, more stable on my feet. Jenny comes fully prepared and adjusts my work outs to floor strengthening exercises when my back is out. I certainly feel much better as a result.

Fantastic experience: Little neighborhood gym with a caring staff. Thevtrainers are always on hand to help you do the exercises correctly. Due to Co-Vid, sessions have to be by appointment only and on the hour, and equipment is sanitized after each session. UPDATE: 5/6/22: Having reopened, the gym has gradually upgraded their equipment and also made it ADA compliant in every way. PLUS, they now offer Personal Training sessions! Jenny, the certified personal trainer is knowledgeable and patient for an older person like me. She's working with me to achieve my goals of staying strong and flexible. Thank you Rgym and Jenny!

Fantastic experience: I've belonged to this gym since it opened. Throughout the Covid season, when they could not stay open, they offered classes on line,. They are now operating with incredible number of safety protocols. The gym is spotless. The members and staff wipe down and clean every item with which they come in contact. In addition to a very solid set of machines and weights, as many reviewers have mentioned, they now offer private one-on-one coaching. If you want a stellar trainer ask for Jenny Yap. She provides very focused, individual training tailored to your age, level of endurance, from the least fit to the most fit. She is a bonus for this gym. I cannot explain how much these sessions have helped me in overall muscle strength, balance, motivation and confidence. The gym membership is also very reasonably priced. There are no whistles and bells that raise prices. There are simply state-of-the-art machines and weights, and an excellent team of staff. Above all (for me) there is parking in that area! In and out in a flash is possible. If you are serious about your health and well being, this is a gym you want to visit.

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have Rgym within a walk of my house! It is a very well equipped small gym with machines and equipment for people at all levels of fitness. The staff are incredibly well informed, friendly, and helpful. The whole vibe is very easy going and respectful. And it is super clean! Both my husband and I have been doing personal training with Jenny Yap. She is honestly the best trainer I have ever worked with. She varies the routines, making sure to give me a full work out each time, watching with a keen eye for what I need to do to get the most out of each move and exercise. She is a very skilled professional trainer. No matter what level you are on, Jenny can take you to the next one. Rgym is a gem of a gym!

Fantastic experience: RGym is perfect for a complete workout, and is not just for women! I like that my husband and I can go to the gym together. The machines can be personalized for any fitness level. I like the flexibility of choosing the kind of workout I want each time I come in, whether to focus on the treadmill and bicycle, the workout machines or the weights. The friendly staff has been great in helping me establish an appropriate fitness regime. I highly recommend RGym!

Fantastic experience: I love having this gym available within walking distance from my house. The staff members I most come into contact with, Satchiko and Jenny, have both been very helpful in helping me to design an upper and Lower body workout. I plan to continue using this gym for at least two workouts per week.

Fantastic experience: RGym is a gem! It is small and clean and has state of the art equipment, the staff is terrific and I have found myself there at least three times a week, which I have NEVER done before with any other gym membership. I have rarely had to wait even a minute for a machine, and everyone is respectful of each other and pleasantly friendly.

Fantastic experience: A wonderful and supportive women's gym with circuit type exercise routine. I have been a member for several years and go several times a week to keep toned and fit. Flexible and accomodating to your physical needs, and I strongly recommend them! The owner Shirley is warm and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Local Rockridge gym run by Shirley who has been promoting health thru exercise for the past 20 plus years here in Rockridge. The gym is clean, well organized and run by a team of helpful friendly women. Feel so lucky to have this gym in my neighbor.

Fantastic experience: RGym is a small, friendly, outstanding gym in Rockridge on College Ave near Hudson. This gym focuses on circuit training using eight machines, a few aerobic machines and some aerobic classes as well. It is a wonderful gym for those who want kind and caring staff to assist with the machines and the circuit. The owner, Shirley, and her staff, go well beyond the norm to ensure their clients feel supported. I've been working out with them twice a week for many years and love the commitment they gave me when I retired and decided I must continue to take care of my heart, lungs and muscles... or else. A great gym, especially for us mature folks. (I think they take Kaiser insurance in some cases.)

Fantastic experience: Love this place, everyone who works there is friendly and knows your name. There are a range of machines that allow for cardio and weights as well. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Gym designed for women 50+. You can do it at your own pace. Machines on a circuit plus cardio plus classes. It’s all good.

Fantastic experience: I love the attention to safety when it comes to Covid protocols. I live the RGYM app that allows you to schedule appointments. The owner & staff are friendly & helpful, and provide an updated & safe place to workout. The club has two options - a workout room and a cardio room. Come and check them out.

Fantastic experience: I’m so glad the RGym has opened in Rockridge - it has a circuit with machines that alternate with Matt’s for aerobics or stretching as well as a few aerobic machines. The staff is very supportive and I enjoy my time there.

Fantastic experience: Shirley and her team who runs the small gym are very attentive and know all members. They have expanded with new equipment this year and if you work hard on your self guided workout you WILL break a sweat! I recommend this for easy Rockridge workout location!

Fantastic experience: This small, well located gym has taken safety features seriously with upgraded ventilation, social distancing, sanitizer etc. They now have treadmills, stair stepper, bikes, and a variety of machines for different muscle groups with good controls for adjustment. It is a time efficient workout and a friendly place open to both men and women, comfortable no matter your level of fitness. Affordable.

Fantastic experience: The best! Nice people! Nice workout equipment...very clean and well sanitized after each use. For right now mask required.

Fantastic experience: Love this circuit training gym! Good for my body!

Fantastic experience: RGym is an excellent workout for anyone, including seniors like myself. It is a thorough workout, while being also gentle and safe. The protocols at RGym inspire confidence in terms of cleanliness, social distancing and safety. The staff are first rate, welcoming, helpful and friendly. Even the location is excellent. After a nice workout at RGym, it’s nice to enjoy the surrounding Rockridge neighborhood’s cafes and restaurants, and public library across the street. A healthy habit!

Fantastic experience: Friendly helpful staff.Easy parking.clean and safe environment.Variety of strength and cardio machines.a good place to make friends.
