Strength Camp SF Bay Area - Daly City, California

Richard La Frentz

I was visiting the bay back in December and looking for a place to work out while I was in town and stumbled across Strength Camp. I checked out their website, signed up for a free trial, and met Coach Jeremy and Coach Pat on the day of my trial. The class was super fun and engaging, and the energy was through the roof! Coach Jeremy was able to break down a lot of my squat technique and give me tips no other coach has ever given me. His level of attention to detail is insane. We also did RDLs as part of the workout and Coach Pat gave me some awesome tips and cues I've never heard before! Sadly, I live too far, but my experience at the gym was a 10/10 experience and I would definitely be going there if I lived closer.

In January, I will have been a member for one year at Strength Camp and all I can say is that if you are wondering whether you should try it or not, you must try it. I have tried tons of SF gyms and workouts over past 9 years and never felt like I found the real deal until coming to Strength Camp SF. They are not into fads, trendy, boutique- y, it’s down to earth, genuine and knowledgeable strength training that accommodates and is inclusive of everyone regardless of your starting point and life stage- that just collectively wants to be stronger and healthier (and this is regardless of your starting point and life stage). There are no gimmicks. All of the coaches (and asst coaches) are not only very knowledgeable but care about your form and your FUN (they are silly and self-effacing too). I have also seen considerable investments and improvements made to the gym over time (equipment, more classes, more coaches), including super fun Paturday sessions (with Coach Patrick) and now 12-1 weekday sessions with Coach Jeremy- all signs of an amazing, supportive environment to foster your health and well-being and have a great time while doing it. Thank you Strength Camp SF!

I've been working out at Strength Camp since November 2020 when they first opened! I was looking for a gym that focused on strength and technique and getting stronger. The 2 original coaches, Kobe and Eric, were exactly what I was looking for. They emphasized technique and progressive overload. Before I knew it, I was lifting heavier than I ever had in my life.

The gym has grown into an amazing community. There are now multiple coaches, tons of amazing equipment, colorful murals (!!), classes full of inspiring and hard working people, and so much more. There are also extra opportunities to challenge yourself like weekend yoga, Strongman training for strongman competitions, Olympic lifting technique classes, weekend hikes, and more. In the past year, there have been new coaches added to the staff that add their own expertise and flair to the classes and the overall atmosphere. Patrick, Lisa, Phil, Richard, Jeremy, you have all been great additions! Kobe, you are still #1.

I have to give a huge shout out to Coach Jeremy. He is quick to share his expertise on injury prevention, stretching, mobility, and those little extras that help with recovery. He is also open to listening to what members might need in terms of equipment, especially for the strongman community. Our inventory of sandbags has grown exponentially recently and I will be forever grateful that Jeremy and the other staff at Strength Camp really listen to our concerns and desires.

Strength Camp is one of the best gyms i've ever belonged to. It's clean, the classes start on time, the music is good, and the workouts are challenging. Thanks for being a great place to get stronger on the SF Peninsula!

I've been a member here since March 2024. Through my time here, I've learned how to deadlift, bench press, squat, and overhead press, among many other things. With the expert help of all the coaches, my strength gains have gone through the roof! Big shout out to all the morning coaches, especially Pat and Jeremy! They’re super awesome and have given me a lot of tips that have helped me improve my lifts.

The community here is incredible. Everyone is so friendly and talks to each other! I love having a gym community that makes me feel supported and welcome! And there's no judgment here, which is fantastic.

If you are looking for a gym that offers expert coaching, an awesome community, and fun workouts, this is the place for you!

I recently completed the 6-week challenge fitness program at Strength Camp SF, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and supported by both the staff and fellow gym-goers. The environment is incredibly positive and inclusive, making it a perfect place for anyone, regardless of their fitness level.

The 6-week challenge itself was transformative. I started the program weighing 177 pounds and, by the end, I was down to 171 pounds. The changes in my body were noticeable and impressive. Despite being of average weight, I saw significant positive changes in my appearance and overall fitness. I got leaner, developed some definition in my arms, chest, and back, and even saw my ribcage for the first time in years. My gut fat reduced considerably, and I felt more in shape than I have in a long time.

I attended classes 5-6 times a week, and every session was a new and exciting challenge. The coaches at Strength Camp SF are phenomenal. They are all certified trainers with a deep understanding of proper technique and exercise variations, which helped me avoid injuries and tailor workouts to my fitness level. Coach Kobe, my assigned nutritional coach, was especially supportive. He held me accountable for my diet, regularly checked in on me through the fitness app, and pushed me to lift heavier weights when he saw I could handle more. His encouragement and expertise were crucial to my success.

One of the aspects I appreciated most about Strength Camp SF was the community atmosphere. As an introverted person, I was initially nervous about the social aspect of group classes. However, the coaches were incredibly understanding and never forced me to socialize beyond my comfort zone. This level of respect for personal boundaries made me feel comfortable and allowed me to focus entirely on my fitness goals. The other members were friendly and welcoming, adding to the positive vibe of the gym.

In summary, Strength Camp SF exceeded my expectations. The 6-week challenge fitness program not only helped me achieve significant physical changes but also made me feel more confident and healthy. The supportive and knowledgeable coaches, particularly Coach Kobe, played a huge role in my journey. The gym's welcoming community and respect for individual comfort levels made my experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Strength Camp SF to anyone looking to improve their fitness, especially those who prefer to keep to themselves. This gym truly is passionate about wanting to see their members become the strongest version of themselves.

I've been a member since April, and it's been a fantastic experience! From day one, the staff has been welcoming and genuinely invested in helping me reach my fitness goals. Their knowledge and encouragement have made a real difference in my training. I’ve noticed improvements in my strength, and I’m excited to keep progressing. If you’re looking for a supportive environment to build muscle and stay motivated, this is the place to be!

I’m finally reaching my strength potential and it’s thanks to strength camp! I tried the 6 -week challenge and I’m so grateful I did. I’m much stronger and it shows! I lost 3 inches in my waist and am significantly more toned. If you want to try the 6- week challenge, be open to communicate. I have some health concerns, which I made a point to share so the team could do their best to accommodate. I go to the early classes and people are more groggy at that time, but I don’t mind. If you want a more upbeat crowd, you can easily find that in the afternoon and evening classes. In regard to the 6-week challenge, it is more about building strength than quick results. You will get results for sure and I’m happy with mine, because now it’s so much easier for me to continue to burn fat, be strong and look great. Once you lift heavy and stay consistent the results start to pour in. I’ve tried other gyms and personal trainers in the past 10 years. I know they tried their best, but most places weren’t challenging enough for me and I would go back to working out on my own or at home. Jeremy is excellent and really cares about helping you. He’s the right person for the job. Patrick is also so on point. He will make sure you do your exercises right- which I love! I’m not here just to say I worked out. I want results! All the trainers are great and seem to attract a community of good people. I am staying with strength camp and excited to see how far I can go!

I initially started going to this gym in April 2024 as part of their 6 week challenge. Immediately I noticed the friendly, welcoming environment at this gym. I do other sports as well, and this was the first gym where I was immediately made to feel at home. My first day I was greeted not only by the staff, but also by the other members. They have a rag tag (lol) team of coaches as well. Each with different personalities, but all very kind and bring their own flavor to the day's workout. The gym is set up with 3 group classes in the morning and 3 in the evening 2 blocks that focus on strength and the third focuses on speed. This structure works great for me because going to a regular gym I always found myself lost on what to do. They also typically have 2 coaches per class that observe and help everyone in the class with form and technique. The coaches here will push you, not to injury, but to strength that they know you have, even if you don't know that yet yourself. During my 6 week challenge, I worked closely with their coach, Jeremy. And in that time span, he became my best frenemy. He helped me with my nutrition, which is my biggest hurdle. He also pushed me to lift heavier than I ever thought I could while simultaneously putting up with my constant eyerolls. No topic was off limits with him and he made sure to make it known that there was no such thing as "TMI" for him and that he was there to help me, which helped keep me going on days that it got hard. With all of that said, and I could ramble on forever, all of these reasons are why I went from a 6 week challenger to a full membership. At Strength Camp, I found the gym I had been searching for and I'm so grateful to all of the staff and other members. It is a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. If you're ready to get to the next level, whatever that is for you, the coaches at Strength Camp will definitely get you there. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
