Fantastic gym with great vibes. Hit Fit SF is individually owned and owner-operated, and it really shows. Simon, the owner, is a great guy with a super positive attitude, and he sets the tone for the whole place. It feels like a real community, not a corporate gym where nobody knows your name and the music is louder than the instruction. The trainers are legit. They’re professional athletes who train and box themselves, so they care about proper form and workouts that actually work. Instructions are loud and clear, and they notice if you are a beginner need extra help or a slacker need a kick in the butt. Special shoutout to Wayne and CJ, their HIIT classes are awesome and make for great cross-training alongside boxing. Hard but fun, and you definitely feel it after. Bathrooms and showers are clean and well maintained, and there’s a Bay Wheels station nearby. Highly recommend!!

HitFit is hands down the best boxing and HIIT gym in the Bay Area. Every trainer not only has their own remarkable athletic background but also has the ability to teach and coach all skill levels. They are each disciplined coaches while still being fun and encouraging. Simon, the owner, has created an inviting community that welcomes everyone from professional boxers to newcomers wanting to learn and train hard. Wayne is the strength/conditioning guru that brings the motivational and inspiring words while simultaneously kicking your ass. The boot camps are life changing, especially if you need a jump start and want to feel like the strongest and best version of yourself. I’ve been training here a little over a year and have never taken a bad class. A special shout out to Will and Cole B for teaching me so much and keeping classes fun and energizing. A final note… the gym is always clean, has enough equipment and space for everyone and I’ve never had a problem booking a class, a huge bonus. Best community of hard working, good people ever!

I never thought I’d fall in love with a bootcamp. Everyday we are presented with a new challenge and everyday I get the chance to exceed my limits and prove to myself that I can be stronger, faster, fitter. It’s been an incredible journey and even just being in the middle of the third week, my body already looks more toned, I have so much more energy and I feel absolutely incredible. Simon and Wayne are by far the best coaches I’ve ever worked with (sorry everybody else!) by the way they encourage you to push through the punishment (with awesome music to boot!) with workouts that I was previously unaware of. I’m no pro athlete or even amateur boxer but I feel at home at HitFit. I would one hundred percent recommend this bootcamp to anybody who wants to feel like a badass!

Hit Fit SF is the spot! I have never done any boxing before and was looking for a new challenge. The 4 week boxing bootcamp program delivers! Simon, Wayne and the crew make it fun. This is now my 3rd bootcamp. And Im coming back for more. Such a welcoming environment and super clean!! I highly recommend.

Instructor Simon was very professional and well knowledge in the boxing field. He helped me with my form so l don't injure my back, and we also worked on my footwork. I learned more of the foundation of boxing which was very fun and exciting. I had a great full body workout. The gym is very clean, the people are welcoming. I will definitely go back and whoever is reading this should check them out!
