The Cave

Fantastic experience: I have heard stories of The Cave for a while now, but this was my first time checking it out. So glad I did! Don't let the aesthetics of the parkour side put you off, amazing instructors like JB Douglass and Russell Bruel make this gym a world-class training center for everything from gymnastics, crossfit, and even ninja warrior! Prepare to have a blast and be sore for days

Fantastic experience: I love this place, the people make the gym... No stereo types, or maybe all stereo types... Great people, they make the new and the super fit feel welcome

Fantastic experience: We recently moved to Marin and started gymnastic for my 5 year old daughter. After her first class she asked to go back everyday! Since then we have increased to gymnastics twice a week and my 9 year old does parkour 2 times a week also! needless to say we are huge fans! My daughter especially adores coach Caitlyn!

Fantastic experience: The cave is the best! Beginner or experienced the coaches are amazing at challenging you and helping you safely meet your potential. Coach Cosmo is a very motivating CrossFit coach with an eye for those little details that make a big difference in improving your movements.

Fantastic experience: Strength and Conditioning classes are amazing for all ages and skill levels… there are kids, teens and adults classes at The Cave. The coaching is approachable and extremely helpful, the gym is positive and friendly, inclusive. If you are thinking about starting a new adventure, or if you are looking for a skilled gym that can give solid coaching, come try out The Cave. For your efforts you’ll join a community of positive people working hard and supporting each other, and coaches who genuinely care about their members. It’s a fun environment to concentrate fully on yourself for an hour, or for kids and teens to find a group of like-minded peers that are choosing strength and fitness and wellbeing. Hope to see you there!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful classes & staff, thank you!

Fantastic experience: The team at The Cave is awesome! My 10 year old daughter has been doing private lessons with Olivia and she is thriving. Olivia is challenging her and helping her to achieve her goals and improve overall. Our daughter loves to attend weekly. In fact, we recently added a 2nd day and are waitlisted for a 3rd day!

Fantastic experience: My Family and I Love the Cave. I would highly recommend Crossfit with Amanda and Gymnastics with Amanda or Russ. They are both experts at what they do!

Fantastic experience: My daughter is on a gymnastics team and has been taking private gymnastics lessons with Emily for a couple of months now and in just that short amount of time, her performance at competitions has improved dramatically! She has so much fun at her sessions with Emily too and looks forward to them every week!

Fantastic experience: Love this place!

Fantastic experience: We have been going to the Cave with our kids for 8 years now, starting with Coach Amanda when my oldest was 1.5 years old! In additional to running a stellar gymnastics program for kids, the coaches and staff at the Cave are incredibly friendly and kind. Coach Amanda has coached our daughter on and off for almost 8 years and we couldn't be happier with the role has she played for her as a gymnast and athlete. I really do believe that it is thanks to Coach Amanda that our daughter has been inspired to join the gymnastics team and is as passionate about the sport as she is. Coach Amanda inspires our daughter to work as hard as she can to reach her personal best, and is an incredible role model. Once on the team, we had the amazing opportunity to also meet Coach Emily, an equally stellar coach who provides our daughter with regular feedback, support, and knowledge of the sport itself. Coach Emily is an incredible cheerleader for the gymnasts, while also challenging them to achieve outside of their comfort zones in such an inspiring way. She also works individually with our daughter to ensure that she feels comfortable and confident before every competition. The Coach Emily/Coach Amanda power team can't be beat! We are so grateful to have their guidance!

Fantastic experience: Our daughter loves her time at the cave. Great facilities, and awesome instruction.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing CrossFit classes here for almost a year now and I have had the best experience so far. All of the coaches are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, friendly, and supportive, and adjust all the workouts for athletes of all skill levels ranging from beginner to CrossFit Games Champion. 5 stars is nowhere near enough to display how great this place is.

Fantastic experience: Finally I found a decent place to train gymnastics in Bay Area! Friendly stuff and amazing atmosphere! Special thanks to Kevin Bull for open gym session!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at The Cave for just over a year now and have absolutely loved taking CrossFit classes here! All of the coaching staff is very knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. The facility is great and has everything you could want. The CrossFit programming is top notch and I've seen a ton of improvement since I started. It's a great place for both CrossFit beginners and experts alike. Special shoutout to coach Ron for all the awesome and helpful coaching over the past year!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic place! We started with gymnastics about 7 years ago and over the last several my kids have moved to parkour - every step has been a great experience! The coaches are incredible and teach more than gymnastics or parkour - they embody respect for self and others. Plus, the kids have a ton fun! And, all the staff at the Cave are very helpful, patient and super customer focused - couldn’t appreciate them more! Their Covid protocols have been in lock step with the county and then some. We are so lucky to have such an outstanding place in Marin!

Fantastic experience: Coach Russ and the entire staff at the Cave are amazing. I have to give a special shout out to Coach Russ for his support and guidance with all of his lessons. You won’t find a more patient and fun coach.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter has been taking weekly semi-private gymnastics lessons from Russ Bruel for a couple of years, and it continues to be the highlight of her week! Russ is an experienced, knowledgeable and fun teacher—he’s amazing! She has gained strength, skill and confidence in her gymnastics ability, and has learned to do so many new things, including back flips on the mat and floor—safely and with proper technique. We highly recommend The Cave, and Russ Bruel!

Fantastic experience: I am in my 90s and enjoy a weekly session with Director Amanda Norton, who has expert knowledge of the human anatomy, to improve my balance and muscles. She increases my heart rate with walking, biking, and rowing. Other attending staff and clients provide a pleasant and friendly atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Coaches, I've been to 60+ CrossFit gyms, many in California but 30+ Internationally, I've seen lots of CF and their coaching is the best I've come across. In each their own way they - Check in with each member before the workout to tailor it to themselves (Injuries, soreness, etc) no "RX pressure," they watch and advise each person in the class, always friendly not just during class but before and after (Even if they are not coaching that day), mostly they genuinely care and I see that every time I come in. As a bonus they coach and offer their knowledge to those who want to do more. On top of it the warm ups aren't lazy, they actually warm you up, & they coincide with the workout/movement pattern for the day and I've seen some stuff that I've never done before. The adult gymnastic classes are included as well and the handful that I have done have been so fun, they made me feel like a kid again, but I also was quickly improving on my handstand walking and learning new gymnastic skills. They have Parkour as well, but I have not tried it yet, but it looks equally has fun. After 2 years I moved out of state but can't wait to drop into a class when I am back. Thanks!

Fantastic experience: Have been going here for several years for adult gymnastics and recommend it highly! Coaches Roger and Russ are both extremely knowledgeable and experienced at working with all skill levels, and the class is one of the few that really guides adults through skill development rather than just being an open gym for former competitive gymnasts. On top of that, the gym has a very positive atmosphere--everyone is encouraged to get better and challenge themselves, no one is made to feel bad about where they're starting from or pushed to do anything unsafe, coaches pay attention to every individual and how to help them. If you have always wanted to learn gymnastics, or want to relearn skills you had before, this is a great place to go.

Fantastic experience: The Cave brings tremendous joy to my two daughters lives. The Cave care about their gymnasts, takes their time to get to know them & makes recommendations on how to progress at an individual level. Coach Russell gets 5*****, he brings expertise knowledge, and laughter while still focusing on the strength & progress of gymnastics. You can tell he has a passion for what he does & he is very good at teaching the children the core elements of gymnastics in a safe & loving way. I can't recommend him enough!

Fantastic experience: We love The Cave! My son has been going here for years for the group classes and also private sessions with resident Ninja Warrior Kevin Bull. Aside from being a phenomenal athlete, Kevin is patient, kind, and skilled at teaching kids new tricks while also making sure they have fun. The Cave has done an awesome job of staying open despite wildfire smoke and the pandemic. They follow the protocol and everything is very clean. We are thrilled to have The Cave and Kevin in our 'hood!

Fantastic experience: I love The Cave! The coaching and programming are top notch. Not only has my body changed, but my relationship to my body has been transformed!! I also can not speak more highly about Coach Amanda Norton. After 18 months of shoulder pain and seeing 6 different practitioners, Amanda accurately assessed the underlying root cause and created a rehab program for me that resolved my pain within a couple of months. I have spent the last year, pain free!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Solid gym/ multi sports facility. Took the adult gymnastics class; even during Covid protocol times, it was fantastic. If interested in Ninja Warrior training or parkour or crossfit, they've got you covered there to. Great coaching, equipment, great environment. Nothing but positives. 5/5. Certainly recommended. I'll be back.

Fantastic experience: The coaches are total pros and are very enthusiastic about parkour and gymnastics!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Huge thank you to coach Andrey! He led a private session for my 9 year old son and a few friends for his birthday and he went above and beyond to make it COVID safe and special.

Fantastic experience: Best place to do gymnastics. The gymnastics team is amazing and I love the coaches!

Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and trainers. The kids gymnastics and parkour classes are usually full so if you’re considering get on the waitlist right away.

Fantastic experience: Awesome coaches and people
