Hawc Gym

Dan does a great job inspiring and preparing Spartan Athletes for all their events.

I keep coming back to this gym because it has so much more than any other gym offers. Affordable prices, knowledgeable and approachable staff, and a real feeling of community. Cannot recommend this place enough!

I have a tendency to push myself a bit too hard. When I try to work out on my own or in a gym, I usually get injured within the first six months. I was about to resort to a personal trainer when I was introduced to Dan Farrier, the owner. After meeting with Dan, I decided to try out the small group classes. You can pay by the class, so I could try several with no long term commitment. The Cross-​Training group classes are awesome: 4 – 8 people only, so Dan is able to adjust the intensity of the workouts for each person in the class. It’s like having a personal trainer with the group benefits (peer support, less $). They also have other classes, included a Spartan Run prep class. I’ve taken three classes so far and was pushed hard, but not too hard. I would recommend HAWC Gym for the novice «couch potato» as well as cross-​fitters and endurance run enthusiasts.

Ive been working out at HAWC with a trainer (Will R.) for just under a month now and I’m loving it. Everyone has been very welcoming and my trainer is incredibly supportive. He pushes me but also makes sure I don’t hurt myself or train incorrectly. Overall, this place has been great and I plan on sticking around for a while :)

I haven’t been able to find a gym that keeps me interested & motivated to get in shape but Hawc is a definite game changer! I’ve only been at Hawc for about two weeks now, but I LOVE the gym, workouts, vibes, & trainers! Dan does a great job of pushing you to work hard while accommodating to your personal goals and needs as well. I was off my fitness game for a while but I’m so glad I found Hawc! Absolutely recommend :)

Hawc Gym is the BEST place to go if you are looking to train hard and see results! It doesn’t matter if you are an experienced athlete or a first timer… the trainers at HAWC know how to challenge all fitness levels. I played sports my entire life and I can honestly say that today I am in the best shape I have ever been in thanks to Dan and his staff. The workouts are always different which I love because it forces me to get out of my fitness comfort zone. You will never be pushed to do more than you can handle but you may surprise yourself after a couple of sessions by what you can do!
If you are looking for results, Hawc Gym is where you should be! Oh, and an added bonus is the wonderful people you will meeting during group classes. I love my Hawc Gym family :)

I have been working on my health and fitness and have taken it a lot more serious the past couple of years including having just completing 30+ sessions with a great trainer at 24 Hour Fitness in San Ramon. Because of work and other excuses that are not excusable I haven’t gone to the gym to maximize all the stuff I did learn and then I learned about HAWC Gym!
I’ve only done 1 session so far and have another one today but that one session was so thorough and complete that I felt like I worked harder than I ever had. The trainer went with my pace without letting me go off the grid too much which made for a much better workout and definitely maximized the time I was there.
I will definitely be looking to do several more sessions at the gym and will update everyone after I do multiple personal training sessions.

Love Dan and his trainers! This gym is solid and so much fun!
Highly recommend this gym!

Wow! I can’t believe I’ve been training here for over a year now! This gym has amazing trainers who will go out of their way to make sure you are getting the best workout you can. Whether your objective is to lose weight or to put on weight, the trainers here will do all they can to help you reach goals!

I am a 24 Hour member and have been for years. Last year in March, I decided I needed something more than just the daily gym. That is when I found Hawc Gym. I have only trained with Dan and can tell you he pushes you to your limit. I always leave there feeling amazing! He’s a great guy and so is the group of people we train with. Can’t say enough great things about Hawc!

My wife and I have been HAWC Gym members for over a year now, and we can’t say enough great things about the training, Dan, the staff, and, most notably, the RESULTS! Our experience with both the group workouts and personal training has been extremely positive, and the sessions are always challenging but enjoyable. Workouts vary day-​to-​day and even hour-​to-​hour, so you’ll never repeat the same workout twice, which keeps it interesting and demanding (unlike the workouts that you pop into your DVD player and repeat over and over again… sorry Turbo Jam and P90x). Plus, the group fitness sessions are highly motivational: Seeing your fellow HAWC Gym’ers working hard and digging deep while Dan is urging you to push yourself harder, correcting your form where needed… man, I’m sweating just typing about it! The supportive and encouraging people and environment will truly help you reach your fitness goals and even achieve far more than you thought possible. Kudos to Dan, Michelle, Bruce, Sam, Brandon and the rest of the training staff. And when you’ve worked out to your limit, go see Carolyn at Soma Wise Muscle Therapy, right there onsite!

I have been going to Hawc Gym for 8 months now and I have the best personal trainer Dan Farrier. He genuinely cares about my development and always making sure I’m doing the exercises the right way. Dan makes every work out fun. Don’t get me wrong it’s not easy but he will never push anyone to do more but instead he will make sure you are doing the right technique and form. I also enjoy going to his group classes and it’s never boring. Every day it’s always something different. I’m addicted and I wouldn’t know what do without Dan. (= So, Dan you can’t go on vacation… I need you to train me!
If you’re looking for results Dan is the man. Guaranteed!

HAWC Gym is like my second home, not only because I am here almost everyday, but also because of the supportive HAWC Gym family that the group has become. Everyone is very welcoming and super friendly. It is such a fun group to train with and I always look forward to see their familiar faces :)
I go to HAWC Gym for their cross training group sessions and also for personal training sessions with Dan, the owner. The have allll the necessary equipment to train with (eg. tons of weights and kettle bells, a cardio area, a few machines, a TRX section, bands, jump ropes, foam rollers, etc.). Basically, you can name what you would like to work on, and they will have something for you to use! There is a new yoga room on the second floor and I can’t wait to try a few yoga classes there!
The gym is kept very clean, all of the equipment are always wiped down after being used. Towels and water are provided! There is usualllly good music playing that keeps you going :) I am SO glad that I decided to join HAWC Gym! You won’t regret joining either!
