Looking for a gym with strength training workouts
Hi all, I am moving to North Berkeley from San Francisco and am looking for a gym that has challenging strength training workouts. I would love to hear your recommendations! I am willing to drive to Oakland, Emeryville, or Albany for the right place. I have been working out at a boxing gym with fantastic HIIT classes and am really going to miss it. Thanks for your help!

I go to the 24 Hour Fitness in El Cerrito. It is close to North Berkeley. There are a lot of classes, especially the BodyPump class, that is a whole body workout. Here is the class schedule. https://www.24hourfitness.com/utility/classes/?clubid=00937. Sign up for a free three-day pass.
Try Happy Hour Fitness or Sweat, both along the Solano Ave corridor in North Berkeley. I've had fantastic classes there. They both charge by the class rather than the month, and both have introductory offers (e.g. 5 classes for $50).
I love Sweat fitness- they have locations in Albany and Oakland (Rockridge).
Always challenging HIIT classes but modifiable depending on one’s needs. The instructors are great too!
I love Sweat (Rockridge & Albany). They have inspiring instructors, great variety and really cool clientele! Welcome to the east bay!
I am a member of Phoenix Gym on 10th street in Berkeley, behind REI. They have strength training classes, HIIT, and boxing, and are reasonable priced:
