The Riekes Center 3455 Edison Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025

"The most welcoming and friendly fitness environment I’ve been in. One of my favorite places on the planet. The staff here has helped me in innumerable ways over the years and I’m excited to see each one of them every time I go in."

"Love the vibe when I work out here Andrew is a great trainer and takes the time to explain what these exercises are intended to do - specific to my needs. Great energy at the Center and all are welcoming. All the other folks I've worked with over the years have been equally as good! Thank you!"

"Still waiting to hear back about my film. Staff wouldn’t stop hounding me about helping them do some videography when I was there on a scholarship, to try to help with my anxiety. Was so anxious since they wouldn’t leave me alone to work on my photography in peace, I ended up leaving my film there."

"Such an underrated place! Love coming here to workout. Not busy at all & actually FEELS like a gym should. They also offer many activities to thrive creatively"

"This is one of my kids' favorite places! We have taken advantage of all three core areas on which the Riekes Center focuses - nature programs, creative arts programs, and physical fitness programs at all different age levels, and we are so impressed! Their summer programs are awesome too. The strength of this organization are the amazing people who are involved as instructors and administrators. Our family has truly enjoyed getting to know the special people who run this place - Gary Riekes is the best!"
