Review from Bryan B.
This place is about as good as it gets when it comes to local gyms. The place is family run and the equipment is in perfect condition. When I think about it, I spent the past two years getting ripped off at the Sports Club LA. Action Fitness is closer to my apartment, costs $60 a month and doesn't require any sign up fees or commitments.
Action Fitness is a no nonsense friendly gym that offers you everything you need to kick those gluts into shape. It is the least pretentious gym I have ever gone to and I enjoy chatting about football (soccer) with the owner. The weight selection is complete and the there are plenty of cardio machines as well. There are open lockers to place your belongings while you work out and they also supply a workout towel.
2009 is almost over and I'll have to put the decision to join Action Fitness as one of the best decisions I've made this year. Top marks!!! -

There's a reason why every single review here has 5 stars. Everything about this place that everybody else said is true.
Pedro is a great great warm person who operates a beautiful, clean, small but cozy and efficient gym. The place is very well kept with complimentary fluffy towels and a beautiful clean shower area. There is a jiu jutsu dojo area as well.
Not many people are there. Great. 1 week free to try out. Great. $60 a month with no contract, no membership card scanning. Great. Open lockers you don't have to worry that something will get stolen. Great.
I love this place! -

It took me a while to find a gym in my new neighborhood. I made the rounds, visited and got a feel for each nearby. I live just 2 blocks from a Crunch and though it was ridiculously convenient and the facilities seemed nice the sales person was so ditzy I just couldn't bring myself to spend my money there. Similar story at 24 hour: more muscleheads and after I was finally able to convince the staff to give me a tour of the place the sales person / guide was more interested in texting friends than answering questions about the gym.
Enter Action Fitness. Clearly personality goes a LONG way with me, and Pedro and Radka are brimming with it. SO nice and generous. a few days ago I saw Radka run out the door to feed a parking meter with her own money in order to save another of their customers from receiving a parking ticket. Pedro is just as friendly, he recognizes everybody and will pick up from where your conversation left off last time you were in. No gym cards or membership cards are necessary as all are recognized.
At first glance the facilities may come across as a bit small but I've rarely had and never seen any sort of delay or wait for equipment. All the gear is modern and well taken care of. There is no contract or commitment to join which is nice (and unusual). The patrons are all nice and friendly and there is absolutely no musclehead attitude here.
The place is a bit further from my apartment than the other options I mentioned above but I'm certain I chose correctly. -

Action Fitness is an amazing neighborhood gym on Lombard Street. If you live in the area, you simply MUST check this place out. Pedro the owner and remodeled this place with his own blood, sweat and tears. They have everything you could possibly need here. Cardio equipment, free weights, group exercise and more. There are no attitudes here, come one come all. The trainers are excepting of personal goals and body types and will never make you feel like you can't succeed. I've been working out with Pedro for a month now and I can't say enough about his training style. He is my trainer, friend, therapist, nutritionist, and ass kicker. I think he diverts the attention away from the ass kicking by sparking up conversation and making me laugh. What ever it is, it is working. My boyfriend loves my new mini "guns" and my ass is finally defying the force of gravity. You will fall in love with this gym, the owners, and their doorman "Gordo" the bulldog.

Dear Pedro,
Thanks for pushing me, calling me a "princess" when I give up, helping me loose 10 pounds. I feel amazing and look like a cut piece of glass.
Dear Yelpers,
If you find yourself with "chair ass" and in need of a totally body overhaul, contact one of the trainers at action fitness...stick to your plan...and you will be amazed with your results. -

june 2008 note: I no longer am a member of Action Fitness, decided to take a break since I've been doing VyAyr Boot Camp.

I love telling people that I love my gym. Pedro and Radka who run the gym are such great people, always smiling and friendly. The gym has a good amount of members but it never feels crowded. The place is spacious, has lots of equipment (no waiting), and is well maintained. They provide towels, there's a shower, and pilates/yoga/personal training are available. Pedro and Radka treat you like family and I look forward to coming here (more often)...Pedro keeps telling my husband and I he'd like to see us more. He keeps an eye out for us but does not pressure, just motivates! -

Having tried many gyms over the years in SF (Gorilla, Bay Club, ClubOne), I can confidently say that Action Fitness delivers the best combination of quality and value. The gym has terrific, new equipment, LCD TVs, great music. It is rarely busy -- you never have to wait for anything. The fees are month to month and very reasonable.
Best of all, the staff is terrific. The trainers, led by the ever smiling Pedro & Radka, are motivating, experienced, and very knowledgeable. I've worked with Pedro directly for the last couple of years and can't say enough good things about his approach or the quality of the results. I think he is probably the best personal trainer in the city, but is far too modest to admit it.
Action fitness is not only the best gym in the Marina -- it is the best all-around workout experience in the city. If you live the neighborhood, you will not find a better gym. -

Great gym. Not crowded, good people, enough equipment for everyone. It is not overcrowded and overpriced like 24 hour fitness and Crunch. If you live in marina/cow hollow go here to work out, you will not be sorry.

Pedro and Radka have the best thing going on in town. I say this because I hate sweaty, smelly, meat markety gyms. This gym is nothing like the others, which is a good thing. It's a month to month contract that you never feel like getting out of. It's small but has everything you need from great new equipment to good trainers. No fuss, no crowds. It's down to earth, mellow yet motivating environment gets you groovin to better your body. They play good XM stations and have flat screens throughout. Never crowded and always personal, this is the best gym experience in the city.

This was an amazing gym, but one day I showed up & it was closed. Does anyone know what the scoop is & if Pedro started another gym? Where have you all joined since then?
