Yelp.com Review - by Gabe S.

5 of 5 stars. No nonsense gym. This place reminds me of the workout room in my high school. Decent equipment, muscley dudes, girls in actual sweats, and thank gawd, some real live fat people not being judged for…

5 of 5 stars. Thank you Valencia Muscle. Thank you for not looking down on me when I come in stinking of the cigarette(s) I just smoked outside your neon-verdigris window. Thank you for not giving me the cock-eye…

Yelp.com Review - by Jarrett C.

4 of 5 stars. When I used to live in the City, this was my choice of gym. It was privately owned and didn't do the 24 Hour Fitness sale slam. The staff at that time was courteous, friendly, and helpful. (Curt,…

Yelp.com Review - by Dimitry Y.

5 of 5 stars. I moved back to SF recently and in need of a good gym, did the free 1-day pass at many workout spots, with mixed results for all but VSM. VSM feels like every major university's athlete's-only gym - I…

5 of 5 stars. VSM is a nice, comfortable place to work out. The staff is friendly and helpful but there are no hard-sale tactics. I especially like the large amounts of equipment installed. Wait times are virtually…

4 of 5 stars. I've been going to this gym for about a year now. This to me is convenient. It's near the 26, 14 and 22 bus lines.

great gym

I have been going there for about two years now. I tried 24 hours fitness in the Castro as guest with my friend last week. I realized how lucky I am to have non corporate gym where I don't have to fight for weights, running machines, etc. Its superb. Do you want to go to a corner store where you know the owner? Or do you want a seven eleven where everything is the same. I guess its a lifestyle choice.

Its not that this gym is so bad, it's just so confused and no one, owners or employees seem to care about the place. Some employees want it to be a hip gay meat market, some want it to be a cool trendy...

I found Valencia Muscle and Fitness driving down the road. The place is old school, so if you want to go to a gym to show off your newest outfit, this place probably isn't for you. If you want a great workout,...
