I had a great workout here. I think it’s a very simple straight forward get in do your workout and go home experience that many stressed out Silicon Valley employees could really use. I only took away a star because I do think it lacks some warmth or comradery among the students and it is a bit dirty. If they fixed these issues I definitely think it’s a great gym because it addresses your core need of getting in a great workout so well. I will definitely consider coming here again and would recommend it to others.

Hello Fiery, curious why you gave us a 1 star review? Would you care to explain the issue? We’d love to change your mind. Thx

High quality Muay Thai and kickboxing training from professional fighters, ranging from (online & outdoor) beginner courses to full on fight training (during normal, non-COVID-19 operations). It's a strong community of people who love the sport without the ego. Coach Rudi runs the fight team and he doesn't mess around. He keeps it fun, but safe. He pushes us hard but keeps things under control. He also plays the best underground hip hop music when we train! I especially love the women on the fight team. It's all love and respect. We genuinely support each other and give each other props when a clean and controlled strike is landed. I also love that my membership includes access to all 5 of the Smash Gyms in the Bay Area, so it's well worth it!

The lessons are great (shout out to coach Jose!), but honestly the system is very problematic. I took the 6-week beginner kickboxing program and decided not to continue during the 5th week. However, I still got charged for membership fee after the end of program with the reason being "you need to have 30-day notice." That means I have to make the decision during my 2nd week (!?) And the customer service took forever to respond as well. Honestly so disappointed...

Tis "Smash"-ing indeed. I've been going to Smash since March, 2023. After going the PT route (with no success) and almost abandoning my hopes of hoopin again without pain, I got to Smash. Right from day 1, I was able to sqaut pain-free for the first time in about 6 months, thanks to Eddie. 4 months in, I'm able to play basketball again (with reduced pain and zero weakness creepin in). I'm way stronger than I've ever been, I have the care and expertise i need to help me move better, and, more importantly, found family here. Give it a try. You won't stop trying once you start. Oh, and kick-boxing with Coach Jose?Chef's Kiss!!

These guys put deceptive advertisements on Facebook Marketplace that say things like "Evrything must go!" and "Kettlebell for $1, plates for $0.50", but they are not going out of the business and the prices are $1 and $0.50 *per pound*...for metric plates! Just standard mediocre equipment for the same price you can get on Amazon. EDIT in response to reply below: (1) Items can be *deeply* discounted when companies go out of business and must vacate a location quickly. It is not reasonable to expect buyers to know the actually listed prices are "unrealistic". (2) Clearing out a subset of a business's inventory to make room for new equipment is not the same thing as everything needing to go. Does anyone seriously doubt that this exaggerating language was picked accidentally?

Excellent facility for personal training. These guys have pieces of exercise equipment you’ve never seen before - used for the highest performance athletes. Beyond that if you are looking to buy equipment for your home gym, their prices can’t be beaten. I highly recommend checking these guys out!

Solid classes taught by a professional. Rudi Ott has been a long term Bay Area Martial Arts instructor and consistently grows strong students. I got a chance to check out his bag class and advanced pad class. The students were smart and savvy. The work outs were intense. My only qualm is that they could use some streetside signage. But i think they have that coming in now. Overall a great work out spot with high quality instruction
