The eighth location of Fitness SF will be in one of the most talked-about new spaces in San Francisco: The Salesforce Transit Center.

The SoMA transportation hub opened earlier this month amid much hoopla about its rooftop park, public art commissions and plenty of views about its worthiness as a new architectural addition to the city.

“We are so fired up about this game-changing opportunity,” Fitness SF founders Sebastyen and Zsolt Jackovics said in a press release on Friday.

The locally owned company’s new combination gym/athletic training center will take up “virtually the entire second floor” of the transit hub, according to Fitness S.F. director of marketing Troy Macfarland. Fitness SF already has five locations in the city as well as locations in Oakland and Marin.

The new location in Salesforce Transit Center will be the company’s largest facility yet at 35,000 square feet. Among the amenities will are over 100 cardio machines equipped with personal viewing machines, three customized group fitness studios with virtual class connectivity options and more “luxurious” member lounges and locker rooms.

The separate athletic training facility, which will still be accessible to Fitness SF members, will include 15 Olympic weight lifting platforms and 200 linear feet of turf space for training. As at the SoMA location, there will also be a Simply SF Cafe in house for post-workout refueling. There are also plans for fitness classes on the Transit Center’s five acre rooftop park that will be free and open to the public.

The new location is expected to open summer 2019.
