What climbers say again and again
“The classes are fantastic—Monday yoga with Manny is the perfect way to start the week, and Dylan’s cycling sessions on Tuesdays always keep me motivated.”
“The cafe is top notch and we'll run.”
“I left out a lot but overall it's a great value with a friendly and inviting staff and social atmosphere.”
“My family and I have absolutely loved being part of the community — we’ll miss it dearly (and so will our muscles, though they might pretend otherwise).”
From the reviews
I just finished my two week trial membership and here's what I like about my individual plus kids membership: *FREE 2 hour childcare *Variety of classes - Pilates Mat with Zineb and Fuerzo Kickboxing with Marcelo have been my favorites! *Special programming!
We were members, then stopped after we moved to a new neighborhood. Two kids and a few years later and we still love coming....so do my toddlers. The childcare folks know my kids by name and it's an easy separation. I've been able to manage everything from my marathon training to work calls from the deck.
I've been a member at Lakeshore SF for a few years and it is a very nice family club. My son is very comfortable there and knows the facility inch by inch. The cafe is top notch and we'll run. The front rooftop has a very good restaurant and seating/relaxation area as well as an indoor pool, more locker rooms.
I love this place. It has absolutely everything an individual or family could want. I joined as a college student at DePaul university and then returned with my children as well. Excellent exercise and yoga classes and the best tennis courts and coaches.
Birthday parties at Lakeshore Sport & Fitness
Lakeshore Sport & Fitness hosts birthday parties — confirmed on their own site. Climbing parties come with staff who handle the harnesses and belaying, so parents can mostly watch. One thing that's different here: every guest needs a signed waiver — send the gym's waiver link to the other parents when you send invites, or check-in day gets slow. Packages, party rooms, and pricing change often, so check the current options and book ahead — weekend slots go fast at popular gyms.
Kids classes & camps at Lakeshore Sport & Fitness
Reviews and the gym's own info mention kids programs at Lakeshore Sport & Fitness — climbing classes, school-break camps, or a youth team where kids learn technique from coaches instead of just scrambling around. Program schedules and age groups change each season, so check the current lineup before you plan around one.
