Truve Fit

"I love this place. All the people are nice and welcoming. Super diverse, all ages, genders, physical abilities, and services offered. I’ve been with Melanie for almost 2years and it’s always the best part of my week. She is an amazing trainer."

"I’ve been training with Ashley at Truve Fit for about a year and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I have had several personal bests cycling and the balance work has helped my golf swing as well. The place is always welcoming and there is parking!"

"If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be your first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment. Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try. The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did. This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors. Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored. Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous."

"Truve is an amazing and unique gym and studio. It is special for many reasons but what stands out most is it’s mission of making fitness and every facet of wellness accessible to everybody in the community. It has personal training, amazing group fitness classes (I have tried the dance class and absolutely loved the teacher!), an entire physical therapy practice (The doctors of which helped me to heal my ankle and be able to walk again), massage therapy and bodywork Practitioners (I have had deep tissue massage from two different petitioners and thai from another- all amazing), acupuncture, and so much more. everyone there is so friendly welcoming and knowledgeable- and it is so unique to have these different modalities collaborating with each other. 10/10 recommend!"

"Truve is doing the best job humanly possible during the Covid crisis. Classes have been held online since it started, and once they were allowed to have outdoor classes, those started immediately. Alison Roessler Campbell, the owner, does a fantastic job as a trainer and is incredibly supportive of all her members during this unusual time. So if you are looking for a fitness center that has found a way to keep people in great shape during the pandemic, this is the place to go!"
