McQueen’s Body Shop

Mary is an amazing instructor and I couldn’t rave more about her classes! I’ve joined so many gyms and tried so many classes in the past and hers is the only one that’s kept me coming (at 6:30 am mind you!). She is incredibly informed about nutrition, fitness, injuries and post partum bodies and it really shows in her workouts and her modifications. She is able to modify any exercise for anyone’s fitness levels so her classes are great for people of all ages and fitness levels. If you’re looking for a class to really push you, motivate you, and transform your body, this is the one!
P. S. The other instructors are great too! I’ve been to a couple other classes but Mary’s is the one I most regularly attend. :)

I’ve been working out with Mary, the owner of McQueen’s Body Shop (fka Kaia FIT Oakland), for 2 years now, and her fitness classes and nutrition advice have gotten me in the best shape of my life! I’m so excited that she finally has her own brand-​new studio. The classes are flexible for folks of all ages and fitness levels, but all the instructors really encourage you to push yourself to the best of your ability. It’s rough while you’re in the middle of it, but you feel so great afterwards, and I’ve really seen results! I never thought I’d be the kind of person who works out at 6:30 a.m., but Mary somehow converted me.
So far there are cardio-​strength and TRX classes 5:30, 6:30, and 9:30 a.m. M-​Th and 8:00 and 9:00 on Saturday. Sounds like additional class styles and times will be added later. Rebecca also teaches a yoga class on Fridays at 5:30 – I used to go to Flying Studios on Friday evenings but it was way too crowded and hot, so now I go to McQueen’s Body Shop every Friday and it is such a welcome change. It’s not heated (phew), and the classes are really small so you have plenty of room for your sun salutations. It’s really focused on stretching and opening up the joints, which feels great on a Friday after a week of working out at McQueen’s Body Shop!

I have worked out with Mary for years through 2 babies and life’s ups and downs. Mary’s classes are always challenging and always tailored to my own fitness level. I have learned how to properly work out and how to keep my body safe while still challenging myself. It is always great to be greeted with a smile and to be supported through your whole workout! Looking forward to many more years with Mary’s team.

Mary is an amazing trainer. Working out with her for over a year has completely transformed my body. Our workouts are challenging, fun and always different. She is incredibly motivating and knowledgeable. I feel that I am in the best shape of my life. Thanks Mary!
