Bakar Fitness & Recreation Center at UCSF Mission Bay, San Francisco CA

I'm a calisthenic guy so take my commentary with a pince of salt as my experience with machine might be subpar.

Pretty good, under construction for the past 6month or so (not sure) after one of the pool leaked. Good cardio equipment, decent free weight and machines installations. Although very poor installations for bodyweight training: No decent pull up bars (too low, dented, no parallel bars, no cage) so difficult to train calisthenics. Other than that is pretty decent and affordable for San Francisco.

It’s ok pools are open at random times that don’t always work for your schedule the security around campus is poor and the are is dangerous - thieves will steel your bike or anything else you leave anywhere unattended for longer than a min. Security on campus is negligent be careful

Full service gym.some services cut back due to covid.membershio includes both locations.special pricing for seniors.

Liked the atmosphere and the friendliness off the workers. Really enjoyed the view of the 4th floor. My first time there and I enjoyed myself.

This is one of the places UCSF has utilized as a Covid-19 vaccination site for its patients. The clinic uses the lobby, big glass doors, facing Owens Street as the waiting area. Then after you are screened you are seated in a large conference room on south side to get the injection.

The whole process took about 45 min, including the mandatory 15 min waiting for adverse reaction. There is additionally validated parking in the adjacent parking structure, have to get a sticker from one of the workers for your parking pass that is vended at front of the parking structure.

Really well implemented and organized. Yay.

If only I'f go.

It's really a fantastic gym with all of the amenities, For those who hate the machines, they have an abundance of other resources like racquetball, swimming (two pools, one well-heated on the roof with a spectacular view of SF.)

If you like old balls, this might not be the best gym for you. If you like activities rather than rote exercise, this is the gym for you.

Remember though, unless you're super committed, a gym is only effective within a short distance of your work or home. Bakar is just far enough for me to not go.

5 stars though, very nice.

A little pricey for non-students, but the pools and basketball court are great. They also don't play music over the weight room speakers which I kind of like
