Miguel, Moussie, Wayne and the other trainers at BFH are fabulous. Friendly, patient yet challenging — the perfect mix. Miguel has built a club that is true Oakland spirit (even if he is from SF…) with no frills but everything that matters. Fun and challenging classes and great boot camp! Def worth a try!
Best workout of my life. Found this place through a friend, bought the Groupon and got seriously addicted. I love everyone who works here—Wayne, Omar, Henry and Miguel have changed my workout game and motivated me beyond literally anyone else ever has. The bootcamp style classes will push you beyond your limits, but if you stay strong and positive you can do it. Absolutely love this place!!!
This picture says a lot about this awesome gym. It not only delivers the intensity but also the warmth and encouragement to help ALL age groups achieve their goal AAAND have fun while you’re at it. The coaches push you! But you can sense the sincerity in their love for health. It’s not just a business for these guys. They clearly love what they do and that energy is transmitted into the workouts they give. I just love this place. I’ve moved further&been busy but I’ll definitely be commuting to this gym!
Staff is awesome! Miguel provides fantastic training in both the class & 1-on-1 setting. I'm finding myself getting amped up for the next class / session 1-2 days in advance. It's a workout like I haven't had in nearly 7 years & love every bit of it. The gym is a welcoming environment as staff help get you where you need to be & fellow 'boxers' have been friendly. Simply hooked!
Do not be fooled by the slightly worn look of the gym--this place is a diamond in the rough. Everyone working here is warm and welcoming and the trainer/owner Miguel is a ball of light. I had the most fun workout in the Strength & Conditioning class than I can remember ever having in any workout class. It kicked my ass and I learned a lot about proper form (though I still have a long way to go!). It felt like a real community. I think they just made a regular out of me!
