Day-in, day-out, it doesn’t get better than Lily. Showing up every morning can be a challenge at times, but knowing I’m going to learn something new makes it that much easier to show up. Whether it be working on the mechanics of my snatch, to convincing me to actually go lighter (to master my fundamentals), I know she’s always there. I’m newer to CrossFit, but have remained consistent for the last year. Since joining the 5:45 class, I can easily say I’m easily in the best share of my life: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

As always, Rebecca was warm, funny, organized and supportive. Today was last day of Crossfit Open and the gym had a GREAT vibe. The energy was colorful and zany. And, above all, the WOD was clear and crisp. Loved it!

I really appreciate Lily’s energy in the morning. She is intentional in her instructions and pays attention to all of us. I appreciate that she corrects me and others, and she’s always ready to provide helpful modifications (especially when I was injured) and continue to challenge me in my workout.

Coach Ron was very encouraging, and the strength portion went well. The cardio portion was hard and I lost track of the rounds, it would have been helpful to get more timing notes from him.

Coach Lily is great! I appreciate her form check ins, and she’s looking out to make sure we’re being safe when lifting heavy. I enjoy her 5:45 classes!

Coach was attentive and motivating. She made sure I was paying attention to keeping my form during the deadlifts and was quick to identify the adjustments I needed to make for the bent over rows.

Jared B.

Mar 1, 2025

Good! Big class, lots going on. It was a little hard to hear/follow the coach, not sure if it was the general amount of people (a pretty large class) or wrangling in general. Otherwise, a fantastic class!

First time ever! He did a good warmup helped me feel comfortable with the motions and then a good level of encouragement. I'm absolutely dead now but I think that's a good thing? Thanks Coach Ron!

Andrea J.

Feb 26, 2025

Joanne was great today, she was very welcoming to newcomers, checked in with everyone about how they were doing, provided nice warm up and stretches based on the needs she saw in the class (sore shoulders). I love how she broke down all the movements into smaller steps and walked us through proper posture and movements. She offered scaling options and made sure everyone was doing the movements correctly. She was very encouraging through the whole workout. I loved her class today!

Alaina C.

Feb 26, 2025

Coach Lily is full of energy and positivity. She's also attentive to the needs of the individuals in the class which helps keep newbs (like me) from hurting themselves. Supportive group of fellow gym goers as well.

Awesome! Larger class with lots of logistics. Class went smoothly, directions were clear, and the analogy of the fish bowl for the med ball cleans was a good one! Great community and supportive environment. My only observation was I wish the workout was longer. (But I get that the WOD was probably intentional because of bring a friend week.)

Julia M.

Feb 26, 2025

Great balance of encouragement and sass. Excellent job working the room and giving actionable feedback. Also spent her birthday coaching!

Lea is a great coach who wants her clients to succeed in the gym while having a good time. She takes what can be an uncomfortable experience in a new environment and turns it into a warm and welcoming place. She takes great care to review and correct your form. This seems to be a dying art with many of coaches and gyms in the Bay Area. Overall I’m totally loving Lea and the gym!

Michael R.

Feb 19, 2025

Rebecca is exceptionally gifted at working with each client “where they’re at.” She pushes you towards excellence, which I appreciate.

Kim H.

Feb 10, 2025

Lily broke down the movements, the warm up was long enough, enough time given to building to the deadlift. Lily gave great cues around the room. Nudged just about everyone to do a tiny bit “more”. She safely encouraged everyone. It was a great class.

Natalia Z.

Feb 10, 2025

Excellent class, as usual! Coach Ron Q is the great athlete and also very knowledgeable and talented coach. It is always the pleasure to attend his classes 👍🏻 The best hour of the day!! 😊 Thank you Ron!!

Feb 10, 2025

Lily crushed it, per usual. She kept class on schedule, welcomed me back after being gone last week, and gave me a tip on my deadlift form that helped. 💪

Today's workout was 18.1. Coach Lily like always coached it based on the members in the class and fully understanding the need for modifications - she always provides good alternates to movement - which helps in strengthening the affected areas. - Mornings can be hard - weather / sleep/ tired bodies - Coach Lily is always there with a smile ! Her positivity changes your mood and helps gets us all into a groove - At the end of any workout. - you always walk away feeling good and confident !!!! Exhale Rocks ! & coaches are wonderful

Coach Lily is PHENOMENAL. I’m consistently blown away by how she’s able to prioritize safety, proper form and give individual feedback, while demonstrating exceptional logistics and coordination in order to create a seamless experience for us. She puts in tons of effort so we don’t have to think which is great at 5:45am.

Frank Y.

Feb 6, 2025

As always, Rebecca was amazing and the workout kicked our ass, but in a good way. Happy that she’s back!

Lisa Y.

Feb 5, 2025

Coach Lily’s classes are always great. She leads the class in mobility exercises that are relevant and effective for the strength & WOD portions of the class. My body often feels prepared and ready for the movements. I appreciate her coaching cues. She’s constantly circling the room, watching our movements and seems to remember each athlete’s challenge. She’s encouraging and realistic — knowing when to push or pull back. She makes an effort to keep the class on track and end on time, and is usually successful.

Sarah C.

Feb 5, 2025

Coach Lily knows how to motivate the morning crew. She isn’t pushy but understands just the right moment to challenge you on certain movements/weights. I have seen improvement in my form and strength in the last few months. If you are an early riser, I recommend joining Coach Lily’s class.

Tae K.

Feb 5, 2025

Went thru pre-workout warm-ups on bike/rower pretty thoroughly to give us time to get warmed up; however, there wasn't enough time for her to explain and get us warmed up for the actual WOD. Overall, I think she's getting more confident and comfortable observing and communicating us in class

Berta G.

Coach Lily is Amazing!

Chenoa R.

Feb 3, 2025

Lily is amazing with communication and setting the tone for the work ahead. I personally wasn’t feeling my best today and she was quick to give me alternative moves that still were challenging but more doable based on my energy level.

Gloria C.

Feb 3, 2025

I love Coach Lily! We all love Coach Lily. She is very knowledgeable and fun. Great combo. Even in a bigger class you still feel like you’re getting one on one instruction. I feel very safe with her as coach, too, think that is very important especially for us older people.

Cat M.

Jan 30, 2025

Lily offered some great tweaks to my form including to “zipper” more while dumbbell snatching and use more of a bent legged deadlift position while doing bent over rows. Lots of really positive encouragement too! She’s a delight.

Great! I'm worked. She made sure I got a great workout while still being mindful that I'm new to this and I have a slight injury.

Carrie C.

Jan 16, 2025

Coach Lily was awesome. She did a nice long smash warmup when she saw that lots of people had sore forearms from previous workouts. She is always supportive and encouraging whole giving me specific things to work on. She helped me with banded pull-ups and double unders today. I love Lily!

I recently had the pleasure of attending a CrossFit class led by Coach Ron, and I can confidently say it was one of the best fitness experiences I've ever had! From the moment I stepped into the gym, I felt an electrifying energy that set the tone for an incredible workout. Coach Ron's instruction was top-notch. He has an uncanny ability to break down complex movements into manageable steps, ensuring that everyone, regardless of skill level, could participate and feel confident. His attention to detail meant that I not only learned proper techniques but also felt a sense of safety throughout the class. What truly stood out was Coach Ron's motivation. He has a unique way of pushing you to your limits while maintaining a supportive atmosphere. His encouraging words during challenging moments kept me going, and I found myself pushing harder than I thought possible. It was like having a personal cheerleader who genuinely cared about my progress. Class management was another highlight. Coach Ron seamlessly organized the flow of the workout, ensuring that we maximized our time without feeling rushed. He kept everyone engaged and focused, moving us through the different stations with clear instructions and a positive attitude. Overall, this class was a fantastic experience that left me feeling empowered and accomplished. If you're looking for a CrossFit class that combines great instruction, motivation, and exceptional management, I highly recommend trying one of Coach Ron's sessions. You won’t regret it!

Les is always positive and informative. She gave good direction on modifications and guidance for weights. I appreciated her giving me a note on the KB swing form during the workout! The warm up was a great way to prep for the workout and she gave us some great stretches afterwards since there were a few minutes left in class. Much appreciated!

Lea was great! She was noticeably a little nervous/flustered, but clearly wanted to motivate everyone while still give people space. I have a feeling that she just needs to do this a few more times to gain some confidence in holding the room’s attention and she’ll settle right in. I wasn’t there from the very beginning, so maybe she did this already, but it would be helpful to do the full motion all the way through a couple times in front of us, before breaking it down and explaining, and then again a couple times after while everyone joins her to cement the idea.

Hi Rebecca, this will be the only rating I’ll do. Fun class…I liked the mix of lifting & cardio, nice balance. One request: can you order yoga mats or something like them for floor work? I don’t like doing the movements on the bare floor…thank you!

Coach Rebecca was easily able to adjust my workout due to an unrelated injury. I was exhaling a lot today and still put my work in!

Pamela J.

Nov 4, 2024

I always learn how to do better with Coach Rebecca. Today's lesson, lift my rear just a bit more, concentrate on engaging shoulders, make sure core is engaged, then deadlift. Added benefit is the workout was fun!

Working out at Exhale is the highlight of my day. The space the people make it my place to breathe and get in a good workout.
