Everytime I come to the gym it has been a great experience . I love the ass and Abs class on the weekends . I’m a beginner gym goer but I feel like the class caters to that with a huge push! I recommend taking some classes off Instagram to try it out .
Get bent it’s literally a melting pot of magnificent, they have great music amazing well informed staff and the patrons are also equally amazing. It’s very clean space it’s a very welcoming space. Send it in a heart of Oakland a city that I love., The environment brings a very well curated tone of excellence and they literally have participants from 17 to 77 as young as 12. They have a variety of classes and they definitely have a kick ass powerlifting squad would definitely recommend 75 out of 10 for sure.
I started training with Jason at Get Bent when I was cleared to work out postpartum. I had lifted consistently during my pregnancy, but getting back into things safely was my top priority, so I knew I wanted to connect with an experienced and focused personal trainer. Jason helped me get my strength back and then some. I get remote programming that is focused on my evolving goals, which now include toning and running in addition to powerlifting strength. Get Bent also has an eclectic and fun community that is welcoming to all ages and fitness levels. I was even able to bring my son for a few 1:1 PT sessions at the gym! I recently started taking some group classes there on Saturdays as well, and that’s a hella fun addition to my workout routine. All of their trainers and staff are friendly and experienced. I’d recommend Get Bent to anyone who wants to get stronger and also find that fitness community you’ve been looking for.
This review is long overdue, but I highly recommend working with Coach Pela!! I worked with her remotely while training for the NYC Half Marathon because I wanted to keep up with strength training in addition to running. She created a balanced plan that was challenging but never overwhelming, and she always made sure I felt supported despite the distance, via text and calls. She’s very knowledgeable and could explain things in multiple ways until it clicked for me. She also sent me video demos to help refine my form, and we met up in Oakland a few times for 1:1 sessions, which were incredibly helpful for checking my technique and trying out new lifts. With her support, I was able to finish the NYC Half injury-free! If you’re looking for a knowledgeable and supportive coach, I highly recommend Coach Pela!!
Get Bent is AWESOME!! Coach Jason and Coach Peliala are both some of the very best trainers that I've worked with. They are super knowledgeable about training, the human body, and nutrition. They can also adjust your training to support other supports/movement you are passionate about (for me, that's dance). They are welcoming and inclusive. And they are fun, compassionate humans. They have classes as well as personal training. They host community events as well as powerlifting events. And during the pandemic they've been doing even more work to support local black youth athletes. It's dope.
