Happy Hour Fitness Studio, Berkeley CA

I tried out several gyms over the last few months and settled on HH fitness for a few reasons. First, there are both spin and group fitness (strength & cardio) classes. Second Xabier is very energetic and supportive. Third, the classes are quite intense and push you. Fourth, the classes are all unique, a lot of the music is electronic or salsa, and the people are so welcoming. Some folks have been coming for many years and others go every day. It has a real neighborhood gym vibe. The gym has a deal so you can try it out, 5 classes for $50. I swear I could tell I was more in shape after the 5 classes!

I continue to love Happy Hour Fitness! I originally wrote my review 5 years ago and I still cherish this studio for the expertise of the owner Xabier and the great community of people who value their health. It is an amazing, fun, and supportive place.

Why do I love Happy Hour Fitness so much? Because it's a small, personal gym with high quality classes and personal training. Xabier, the owner, is an expert at guiding people no matter the level of fitness you are at or the injury you have. I've seen people at this gym of all ages who are always challenged in a fun but safe way. The spinning classes are the best I've been to and I've done spinning classes for over 20+ years in NYC, SF and the East Bay. The Bosu classes offered work on strength, balance, cardio and core - perfect. Overall this gym offers everything needed for a well rounded fitness routine.
