Push Your Limits

A great little gym. Nice equipment and good sanitation, friendly staff. Jenny Yap is a superb personal trainer. She was thoughtful in developing a program for me, and is good about adding new elements and making adjustments as we go along. She conveys a positive, encouraging attitude. Jenny has great attention to detail in form, and I can feel that this is helpful. I’m sticking with Jenny and her program; I’m improving and enjoying it!

If you’re looking for a squeaky clean small gym with staff that’s willing to help, check out RGym. I’ve been enjoying my personal trainer, Sashiko, for two years now. RGym has everything you might want: free weights, weight machines, treadmills, bikes, stair stepper, rowing machine, etc. You can find free parking within a block or two or metered parking on the street. The location is ultra convenient, too.

I had a wonderful experience at RGym!! I joined for a short time during an extended visit and it was exactly what I needed. I actually packed some of my own equipment (because that’s what I do at my home gym) but this was not needed at all! While this is a small gym, is has EVERY accessory you could want. Even during the busier times. I could find a way to do the exercises I needed. The gym is extremely clean, has plenty of ways to wipe down equipment, and everyone cleans up after themselves. The best part of the gym is the staff. The owner, Shirley, is one of the most cheerful and welcoming people I’ve met. I had wonderful interactions with her entire team. Thanks RGym! I can’t wait to come back for my next visit!

This is a great gym. Not huge, but packed with equipment and machines of every kind. Also have personal trainers. The owner, Shirley, and staff are really helpful, positive people. Whatever you're into: weights, stretching, treadmill, etc., they've got it. Very clean and well maintained. All genders.Right on College Ave.

After all of these years, I finally found a gym home. I work with Jenny who is an excellent trainer who customizes your workouts to achieve your goals. She is also very good at adjusting routines to stave off workout boredom and to factor in how my body feels on any given day. Shirley the owner and all of the staff are welcoming and encouraging. It’s a small operation but has all that you need if you are serious about your fitness goals. I was referred by a friend, and I have since referred another friend who works with Sachiko who is also terrific. I am a tough grader but I highly recommend RGym.

I love our little neighborhood gym! Even when it's busy in the mornings, Debbie runs that place like a tight ship, ensuring that everything is clean, the vibes are good and everyone respects the 30min limit on the cardio machines. It's not fancy but it's everything you could need for a solid workout. Thanks y'all!

This is the best gym we have ever been to. The staff are friendly and always willing to help. They are conscientious about keeping everything clean and well ventilated. Clients are considerate of others and take turns on the exercise machines. They have personal training as well. Love this place.

Update, 12/2025: In addition to my earlier review, I want to say that my personal trainer, Jenny, has done a great job in developing workout routines customized for me, and in both pushing me to work hard while always checking to make sure that I don't push past my limits. She's a great personal trainer. --------- A really good gym. Fully equipped: weight machines, free weights, resistance bands, stationary bikes, treadmills, etc. The staff go out of their way to be helpful and supportive. Personal training is available for a reasonable fee -- I have found it to be very valuable. I'm glad that I found RGym. You will be too.

rgym is a friendly, well-run smaller gym conveniently located across from the rockridge library. my personal trainer, jenny, is an expert with a huge repertoire of great weight-training exercises that i think are especially appropriate for senior citizens. she tailors the exercises to the particular needs and abilities of the client. because her availability is limited, i have been 'on call' when members cancel or go on vacation, once or twice a week for several months. i already feel much stronger and overall much better.
