Physique Magnifique Fitness Training Academy

Mom and pop own this shop and it is down to earth. If you apply yourself, and meet up with some folks you can get buffed here. The good thing is there are professionals here who have been in the Olympics and in Body Building contests; they are not hard to find. This is a nice break from 24 Hour Fitness and the like.

This is a hard core gym. No frill, just get down & work hard. The owner Jimmy, really seems to be passionate about fitness. This is a great place to really just work out. The employees & owner are very nice & helpful.

Been goin here a few months now. The owners are fantastic, very nice and accommodating.
It’s around 50 a month for the basic access to the gym, that’s the whole main level and I think all classes are included in that. Only one place to squat, and it faces a mirror. But generally no one uses that.
Two downstairs areas, one is for Olympic weightlifting, one is for boxing/​crossfit-​style stuff. You have to pay more to use those downstairs areas.
The vibe a the gym is great and it’s rarely crowded even in peak hours. Clean and got a lot of stuff you need, also it’s a small business, you see where your money is going every day. Glad to keep these guys in business!

This is a great hard core gym. In addition to the typical machines that you find at other gyms, it includes a squat rack and other heavy barbell equipment. No tricks with auto-​deduct contracts like other mass market chain gyms.

I was VERY impressed with this GYM. This isn’t a frilly Glo-​Bow health club. You won’t find smoothie bars, body waxing or a hair salon attached to this old school gym. What you do find is no frills weight lifting equipment that caters to people who want to train hard at a reasonable price. Don’t let the outside «curb appeal» fool you. Yes its not big, but it is bigger than you think. It is narrow but deep and has two separate downstairs areas. One huge boxing/​mma area and another weightlifting room. The main weight floor has dumbbells up to 150, 3 or 4 power racks, and well maintained Hammer Machines. This place is a hidden gem. (Note: I am from Southern California and travel to the Bay are for business once in a while so I have no ties or special interests in this place).

The community within the gym is incredible! They are very friendly, welcoming and motivating! Comparing this gym to others, you actually have people to socialize with and have many things other gyms dont offer! Events are often held here to promote community involvement and activities. Definitely one of the best places in south city :)

Great staff. My husband and I love going to this gym. We have achieved a lot of our goals since starting to work out here. Great familiy-​run business. Comes highly recommended!

Check this place out! Nothing fancy, has everything you need for a great work out. Need some personal training too, these guys know what they are doing. They have helped me completely transform and I’ve only been at it for about 6 months, can’t wait to see more results! Plus they offer classes for kids and young adults. Great place to go no matter what your goals.

This review is only based on personal training. Not the gym itself.
This place is near my house. First, I called because I wanted to see the pricing on personal training. My current trainer is located in the city, so I thought, why not, it’s closer. Conversation on the phone felt like they were trying to sell me a car. Fine, I get it, it’s a business. I’m serious about this, so I decide to set a free training for that evening. I show up 10 minutes early, and I’m sure the trainer is with someone else, so I’m prepared to wait. He approaches me and introduces himself, and then proceeds to tell me to get on the treadmill and walks away to his other client. This is exactly what I DIDNT WANT. No offense to them. I’m sure they are a wonderful fitness place, if you want a cheap non commercial gym, but I’m looking for one on one training. Someone who will push me farther than I could expect, and focus on me ONE ON ONE. The owner did say that sometimes he has to walk away and answer the phone, or talk to someone who walks through the front door. I get it, it’s your business, but it’s NOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR! I think if you offer personal training, you should have someone at the desk to handle your business while you focus on your client. So I looked at the situation, and walked the hell on home. I think my personal trainer, although more expensive, and in the city, is giving me what I needed.
I did receive a phone call from the owner asking what happened. I explained to him that it is not what I was looking for. That I specifically want PERSONAL one on one training and I don’t think they can give me that. He said something to the nature of not letting pebbles get in my way and not quitting on myself. Umm, yeah you just won me back! I am sticking to Chelsea.
Gym looks nice. Huge compared to what I was expecting. I might try zumba. Hopefully they add more classes

This is a place for people trying to make health & fitness a lifestyle!

I am a work out fanatic. I love working out — I love the way it makes me feel and I love the fact that it allows me to eat what I want to eat (without getting fat).
If you want to work out regularly, the gym has to be close to you and easily accessible. Physique Magnifique happens to be the closest one to me (I would have to drive another mile or more to get to 24 hour fitness Daly City (I didn’t like this particular 24 hour fitness.) or Bally’s — haven’t been but bad experience with cancelling membership in the past).
This gym is not flash — equipments are not shining new like you see at equinox nor do you have all the latest and the greatest. BUT the owners are wonderful, and there is everything there for you to train every muscle group of your body. The owners (husband & wife) have both competed in body building competitions so if they can train with what they have to compete at the national level — so can you!
If this is the closest gym from where you live — I highly recommend it.
If you work out in the morning — parking shouldn’t be an issue before 9AM.

THIS IS THE PERFECT PLACE IF YOU WANT TO GET IN SHAPE AND REALLY LEARN SOME BOXING TECHNIQUES ok, i got out of this gym because i moved 2 antioch and well yea… this place is great it gives you a perfect workout and excellent cardio.
*the trainers listen to you and are great if you are a beginner i was scared at first of joining a class in which i wouldn’t feel comfortable but *since the beginning i fell in love with the hard training they give you.
*you start with a 5 min jump rope (don’t worry if you can’t jump rope you can choose between trying to learn –no one makes fun of you or they’ll get punished with some push ups ^_​* usually 20 – 150 hehe or you can do other stuff instead like running in place, and other stuff u know it changes from time to time ALSO I 4GOT 2 MENTION IF UR A BEGINNER THEY PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION 2 U AND THEY ARE VERY PATIENT
*after that you start with the combination of the day (usually gets harder when you are more advanced, there’s usually two different combinations for beginners and more advanced students.
* then the lovely push ups ^_​* for some reason i don’t really fell them in the gym, i guess because you get motivated or idk
*more hits and combinations
* push ups
*crunches —– the weight balls!!! no!!! j/​k work u out great
*leg drops
*the most faired enemy –\the bag hehehe! ;)
*more pushups, bags, crunches, leg drops —sitting of the wall!!! and other stuff that always changes and work you out to the fullest !!!
AND SO ON YOU NEVER GET BORED BECAUSE THE RUTINE IS NEVER THE SAME
almost forgot the most important and the most fun and best part which are the mats (you fell great hitting the mats and really help you at perfecting your moves the time you spend on them depend on the # of ppl that attend the class. you stretch and you’re done for the day GOOD LUCK IF YOU HAVE TO WALK HOME ^_​* U MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO/​TRUST ME ^_^(i only lived like 5 – 6 blocks away) I LOVE THIS PLACE AND HOPEFULLY I’LL GET BACK AT IT SOON — — i recommend trying it out i think they still give out the free no obligation passes ionoe but yea its very affordable and idk if they still got the same prices as before but i used to get 60 – 70 for a month and 144 for three months hopefully they still have the same prices this was a year ago tho so i really don’t know i think classes are still from 5 – 7;30 tuesdays and thursdays

I’m no longer a member of this gym because I got lazy, but my husband just renewed his membership last week — year 11 and counting… it’s a great gym, I just don’t have the motivation to go.
My husband has been going to this gym for almost 10 years and likes the owners, facility, etc. To my reluctance, 1 yr ago he convinced me to join. Now I love working out. It’s a very comfortable atmostphere. It doesn’t have the pretentious «meat market» feel. I would highly recommend this gym.
