Pacifica Athletic Center

Originally, my home gym is in Nevada, and I come to California every break I get between semesters. I have to say, after spending time looking for the perfect gym for myself, I found Pacifica Athletic Center. I'm a competitive Powerlifter, so I spend most of my time prepping for different meets. This gym has everything I could ask for. All the essentials for my main lifts and accessories are here. Squat racks, deadlift platforms, a combo rack, and a cage to do everything I need to accomplish my numbers! The gym I previously attended did not allow chalk, but they allow it here as long as you clean up after yourself (Please always clean up)! On top of all that, Tofer, Wendy, and the rest of the gym staff are incredibly kind and accommodating. This was a very important aspect for me as I could not find a top - notch staff at any gym I visited in SF, SSF, and South. They do their best to meet any important needs. The location is a plus! Located about a 5 minute walk from the beach, I take a cold plunge in the ocean, walk back, and use the gym showers. I leave PAC refreshed, invigorated, and content every single training session. This gym is my "home away from home." I know for a fact that as soon as I am back here in California, this will be my gym of choice! Thank you, PAC, for being amazing, professional, and kind to me in preparing for my next competition! I'll see you soon!

This isn't simply a neighborhood gym, this is a diverse, welcoming fitness community. No matter where you are on your journey to reach your health goals, there's a place for you here. The equipment is not new and fancy; however, everything is clean and functional ... and the weights are just as heavy ;) There is a bit of everything for everyone: group classes, personal training, cardio machines, a yoga room, a deadlift platform, powerlifting equipment and a small outdoor workout area. There's even a massage therapist on site! (she's good). The treadmills are cool. They seem to absorb impact a bit better than the typical ones I've seen. They also have screens to watch videos or to go on a "virtual run". The gym staff are friendly and helpful. They're always going around making sure the place is clean, stocked and looking tidy. The general vibe of the whole place is respectful and welcoming. Highly recommend.

My kinda gym, plenty of equipment, a bit older, but everything ones need to get it done. Cool German Shepherd gym dog, pretty nice cardio equipment, and at various times not terrible crowded, which helps get in and out.
