Direct quotes from Project 13 Gyms members on Google

Google Review"I've been going to Project 13 for six months and battle 35-40 minutes of traffic each way to get there—and it's worth it! Everyone there made me feel welcome and supported. In the past six months I've gained visible muscle, can move more easily, and can breeze up SF hills. 12/10 would recommend."

Google Review"Best strength-training workout class in the city! The trainers, Jared and Michael, are super friendly and make time to offer one-on-one adjustments and coaching, even when it is a full class. Highly tailorable for beginners, but also great for people who want to lift heavy."

Google Review"Michael and Jared are the best. They are so helpful to me as a newbie working out with form correction and encouragement. Although this is a group workout class, they always make sure to pay attention and help out each and everyone who needs it. I can visibly see that I am getting stronger in just 2 months!"
