BK Roots Fitness - Oakland Personal Training

Fantastic experience: I really enjoy the springboard pilates classes - Bianca is a great instructor! Mindy is too, but it's rare I can make a midday class, so I don't take her classes as often. I like the actual facility, the location works well for me, the online sign-up/payment is convenient, and everyone is friendly and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: The yoga classes are amazing! Very chill and usually there's 6-10people in the class. It's a small gym but a smaller setting feels great!

Fantastic experience: small class size,great location and fair prices

Fantastic experience: I became hooked on the yoga and pilates. Signing up for classes on their mobile app is easy and convenient. The staff pays attention to the small things, like room temperature during warm ups and cool downs, and there's extra hairbands in the bathroom if you've forgotten yours. Their pricing structure is based on a 10-pack, 20-pack, etc. or individual classes, unlike many fitness programs where you sign up for a consecutive series. As a frequent traveler, it's hard to commit to four or six consecutive weeks of classes. At BAR, I can come 3 days a week or not at all. The studio is small and close to the street so sometimes there's noise from traffic. But the instructors have music playing and the street noise fades away. The location is convenient, the classes aren't too full, and I always feel better after I leave.

Fantastic experience: Ash is really a good trainer.

Fantastic experience: I’ve had a great experience with personal training and classes at BK ROOTS! I did personal training with Mindy and feel much stronger, balanced, and like I have better endurance. I also really enjoyed the springboard classes with Mindy and Ash. I definitely recommend BK ROOTS - they put a lot of care into working with their clients and meeting you where you are. If you want to feel more in touch with your body and learn proper form, this is the place!

Fantastic experience: The best!

Fantastic experience: Signing up for personal training with Mindy was one of the best decisions I made for myself during the pandemic. She has consistently been patient with my progress and willing to ramp things up when I'm feeling my strongest. Both Mindy and Ash are very professional, easy to talk to and focussed on your overall well-being... Not just how strong you look but how strong you feel. I'm very happy to have found them when I did!

Fantastic experience: This is a great neighborhood place to get in shape. The owners/trainers are passionate about fitness and understand everybody comes in at their own levels. They have helped me with my knee pain and to get out of the Covid slump.

Fantastic experience: Over the years, I have had memberships at the SF Tennis Club and Club One in Oakland. I have worked one-on-one with personal trainers and coaches in both gyms. In addition, I have attended classes at other workout studios in Jack London Square. None of these experiences compare to the services, workouts and attention I get from Mindy and Ash at BKRoots. Their monthly membership allows unlimited access to the 45 min sessions combining strength training, Pilates and yoga. The small classes ensure individual attention and a community feeling. I joined BK Roots before the Covid Pandemic and was worried when we all had to shelter-in-place. I wondered how I would stay in shape and be motivated to exercise. Well, leave it Mindy and Ash, to develop 45 minute, virtual workouts. While we don’t have access to the springboards in the studio, which are amazingly FUN to use, they have developed workouts for us to do at home concentrating on getting strong, building muscle and maintaining flexibility. These workouts ensure my oesteoeoprosis is checked. Mind, body, spirit…all nurtured and expanded at BKRoots. Join!!

Fantastic experience: BK Roots has helped me get back on a path of strength and mobility. My knees are bad and I avoided stairs going both up and down. Since training at BK, I was recently able to go up and down 13 flights of stairs and walk 5 miles one day and still be active the next day. I see progressive strength and comfort in my body. Looking forward to continued health.

Fantastic experience: I was looking to treat myself to prenatal personal training sessions when I became pregnant so I could stay healthy and fit through out the pregnancy. I found BK Fitness and Mindy and decided to give it a go with the initial session. It was awesome. I've since been meeting with Mindy weekly and it's my favorite 'me time' that I look forward to! Not only do I feel and notice the physical results, I notice it's also been a great emotional boost for me. I seriously can't recommend BK and Mindy enough, for anyone wanting to treat themselves to improving their fitness and overall well-being. Especially to the Oakland pregnant momma's out there, this has been the perfect thing I've done for myself and baby! Thank you Mindy!

Fantastic experience: I love working out with Mindy. I feel so much stronger since working with her, and she knows the science behind her exercises. Her guidance is very clear, and she models the workout for you. She also includes a great workout play list and weaves humor into the workout, as well. It’s a great change of pace from workout videos. I highly recommend working out virtually with Mindy!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality BK Roots is a gym where you get personalized attention and challenging workouts. But what really makes it a great place to go is that Mindy and Ash have made it a community. Even when everything is online, it still feels like we're all part of a family!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I’ve been training with Ash for over a year. He’s so knowledgeable and encouraging. Not only has my body transformed, but I’ve learned so much about how muscles work and how to work your body to achieve personal health goals holistically.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best studios I've ever been to. The personal training from Ash and the nutritional advisement from Mindy has been priceless. Ash was able to work through everything I was taught, re-break it back down to simple terms, and get my body to relearn the right way. All these years have compounded and caused pain by incorrect training but over the last year I have been pain free (except the good kind for sore muscles). Between food and my workouts this tag team duo has really turned my life around for the better. Not to mention the kiss a$$ Muay Thai class on Sundays. What an awesome way to start your week off!

Fantastic experience: I've been working out at BK roots for over a year now, and can't say enough good things. After struggling with back pain for a long time, I started Personal Training with Mindy and it has made all the difference. It's truly transformed my quality of life - the people here really know what they're doing. They also adapted really quickly to the COVID environment, offering a variety of virtual classes which they also record so you can watch later. This has been great in trying to stick to a routine and prioritize wellness while in quarantine. Can't recommend this place enough. If you're thinking about giving it a shot just do it - you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: I have been going to BK Roots for over a year now for classes and personal training. Ash and Mindy are amazing and motivating trainers who are super knowledgeable and care about their clients. Since COVID-19 hit the Bay Area I have been keeping up with virtual personal training and some online classes. It has been nice to be able to keep up with my workouts and to stay a part of the BK roots community even when we can’t do in person classes. This is a great gym and great trainers for people of all fitness levels. Definitely recommend!!

Fantastic experience: This place is awesome! Amazing classes, knowledgeable and fun instructors and killer workouts! Do yourself a favor and try them out.

Fantastic experience: I love love love training with Mindy at BK Roots. She's not only an amazing trainer that's helped me feel so much stronger physically, but she's also an expert on nutrition and has helped me understand how to not just count calories but actually consume nutrient rich foods at the right times of the day in order to optimize weight loss. With Mindy's guidance, I'm getting closer and closer to my target weight and feel really great.
