My husband I have been going to Truve for 5 years and have enjoyed the welcoming community! We used to only go to the free Saturday classes. Now we both go for weekly classes and personal training. I am in the best health of my life because the trainers help you meet whatever your goals are in a safe space by demanding you show up for yourself. Shout out to Alison, the owner, who trained me through my pregnancy. I believe my prenatal, delivery and postnatal were easier because of her training. She is extremely thoughtful, welcoming and has built a positive culture of personal wellness at Truve that starts with community.

Truve has been my go-to studio for group fitness, yoga, personal training, and massage for the last 5+ years. Alison and the whole staff are so welcoming and knowledgeable with a diverse background of expertise. Every fitness class is different so I’m never bored and the instructors do a great job of offering modifications for wherever you are on your fitness journey. I’m so grateful for the Truve community!

Truve is an amazing and unique gym and studio. It is special for many reasons but what stands out most is it’s mission of making fitness and every facet of wellness accessible to everybody in the community. It has personal training, amazing group fitness classes (I have tried the dance class and absolutely loved the teacher!), an entire physical therapy practice (The doctors of which helped me to heal my ankle and be able to walk again), massage therapy and bodywork Practitioners (I have had deep tissue massage from two different petitioners and thai from another- all amazing), acupuncture, and so much more. everyone there is so friendly welcoming and knowledgeable- and it is so unique to have these different modalities collaborating with each other. 10/10 recommend!

Truve is the most unique gym I've ever been to. Everyone is so friendly, the classes are great and they give back to the community. Alison who is the owner is also a trainer and she gives the gym her all. She makes sure that everyone feels taken care of down to the little things in the bathroom. I moved out of Oakland and I really miss this space for getting stronger physically and mentally. There is really nothing like Truve anywhere.

Mel rocks.

As I sat in the Physical Therapy room while the amazing Dr. Dayna helped me with a pinched nerve in my neck, I thought to myself, "Truve really does have my back -- LITERALLY this time but in so many ways over the years." The owner, Alison was able to make this appointment happen next day, when it would usually take a week to get seen. She has also set me up with the most affirming, challenging, badass personal trainers to support different wellness goals I've had. Truve has offered free community classes since the beginning with new exercises, good vibes, and partner/group activities so that we're not tempted to duck out before we've done our reps :P It's such an amazing spot that's constantly evolving, but stays really true to its roots of helping the whole person (and the whole community) thrive. I always feel welcome, engaged, and supported, and the classes are always a great mix of challenging but accessible. I've been to a lot of gyms and Truve is one of my absolute faves. Thank you so much, Truve, for having my back in more ways than one ;)

I have been a Truve member for over five years now. Although I've been in and out (due to COVID and personal reasons) I've had 2 trainers that I've really loved and I feel familiar with the other trainers through individual classes or just witnessing their trainings with other clients. Truve isn't your typical gym. Your experience at Truve will always cater to your personal needs. I was first introduced to Truve by a friend who recommended a trainer. I needed help getting back on track after cancer treatment and my trainer took the time to really get to know me and my body. Although I'd see my trainer twice a week, I would also attend community workout classes or Truve events. I also met one of my favorite acupuncturist through Truve. The team at Truve is highly knowledgable and experienced, from training athletes to helping people rehab from injury or illness, you'll most certainly find someone at Truve who can help you. What's great about Truve is that you find yourself building a community with the people at the gym. This makes your fitness journey more meaningful and less stressful. I highly recommend Truve to anyone looking for support with their health, because this gym isn't just about working out, its about the overall health journey and experience.

Truve has been my fitness home for more than four years, including through the pandemic. Truve, and owner Alison, made me a believer in boutique-sized fitness classes. I love the variety of classes offered and the kindness of the instructors/trainers. Every exercise comes with encouragement and adjustments for your fitness level. Whatever your relationship is to working out, Truve meets you where you are and pushes you to get stronger and healthier in a body-positive environment.

Truve is one of the most amazing places to create health & wellness with outstanding teachers, an extraordinary community to support you, and an incredible flexibility & professionalism that truly differentiates it from any other gyms I have known or worked out at. Truve has truly and fully become part of my life. While all my adult life, going to the gym and exercising have been so difficult for me to sustain or stick to, I actually look forward to my work outs and classes and even plan my work & trips around them because it actually has helped me become healthier and feel better. Can’t tell you what a game-changing decision it has been to be part of Truve. Thank you Truve and thank you Alison for providing such an inclusive place for those of us who are not born-athletes or gym-lovers to still thrive and feel that we belong.

Truve is a fantastic gym that focuses on inclusion. You will see all body types and abilities here. Positive encouragement from trainers and fun, effective classes. You can go on your own, but there’s also a chance to join a community here. 10 out of 10. Highly recommend.

Truve is a fun, warm and safe place to work out. I just love Alison. She does a Saturday Community work out early in the morning. WHO DOES THAT?! Certainly not, 24 Hour, Planet Fitness or any other. If you need a little motivation and need to start out small, head out to the Saturday sessions. When you get ready and are serious about taking your body, mind and spirit to the next level, talk to Alison. ❤️

Alison and the folks at Truve are the best. I’ve been working out with them for 5+ years. The group class offerings are excellent and the personal trainers are all wonderful. Alison worked with me throughout my pregnancy, keeping me mobile and healthy leading up to birth. When I was ready to come back postpartum, she worked with me carefully to rebuild core stability and strength. I highly recommend going to Truve if you want a personalized, friendly Gym experience.

Great people great fun great way to stay fit!

I love this place. All the people are nice and welcoming. Super diverse, all ages, genders, physical abilities, and services offered. I’ve been with Melanie for almost 2years and it’s always the best part of my week. She is an amazing trainer.

Anytime I visit for work, I get in a few workouts with Alison at Truve! Very clean facility, friendly, and welcoming for all levels of fitness. Alison is extremely knowledgeable with nutrition as well, which I love! No fad workouts or crash diets. They even have virtual training sessions, which have helped keep me on track with my busy travel schedule! She genuinely cares and will cater to your individual body's abilities and helps you reach peak health.

Truve is doing the best job humanly possible during the Covid crisis. Classes have been held online since it started, and once they were allowed to have outdoor classes, those started immediately. Alison Roessler Campbell, the owner, does a fantastic job as a trainer and is incredibly supportive of all her members during this unusual time. So if you are looking for a fitness center that has found a way to keep people in great shape during the pandemic, this is the place to go!

Amazing physical therapist. Diligent about getting clients healthy and pain free

I love Truve. It is a great gym with welcoming staff, wonderful trainers and state of the art equipment. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a gym.

If you are one of the many of us, trying to get back into shape after Covid, Truve Fit should be your first stop. A key factor of whether you will stick with an exercise program is the having a frictionless environment. Truve has validated parking at the Hive so you do not have to be driving around in circles trying to figure out where you can park safely and get into the class on time. When you walk in through the front doors, the vibe is very chill so you do not feel anxious walking into class. Most importantly, the other people working in the gym are extremely supportive and will become your community quickly. Having all these things in place makes a fitness routine so much easier to establish. There are even free community classes if that's how you prefer to give this place a try. The instructors are excellent. Classes are capped at 10 for general fitness classes, and three for Pilates. As a result, their instructors can give you abundant corrections and attention so you avoid injuries and develop great form. If you are worried that you don't know how to use a Pilates Reformer, you can hire a private trainer for three classes to learn the ropes like I did. This is the premier gym in Oakland for rehabilitation from injuries. I am a 7 year cancer survivor who has had numerous surgeries. Each time, I've had to fight back to regain my health, strength and flexibility. My last surgery was major, set me back the farthest, and happened during the height of the pandemic; recovery felt close to impossible until I walked through these doors. Not only have I converted fat into muscle, lost weight, gotten so much stronger and gained so much range of motion over 5 months, but I can keep trying new things like TRX Bootcamp that turned out to be fun. Truve's got a wide range of things you can try to keep from being bored. Also, you can go buy fresh baked bread and pastries at Firebrand Artisan Bakery next store or empanadas at Javi's Empanadas caddy corner after you finish your workout. Truve's location is fabulous.

Truve is THE most amazing studio/gym I’ve trained at! I’ve trained at various boutique gyms in the SF Bay Area and Seattle, but have yet to find a space that offers the same vibe or attention to detail as Truve. After training and conditioning with Alison, I’ve gotten so much stronger, started lifting weights, began eating more, and really started to love and appreciate my body. This isn’t just a gym, but an inclusive community space for health and wellness. The variety of classes offered keeps things fresh and exciting and I’ve enjoyed personal and group training sessions with various trainers (including owner Alison Campbell), spin, body sculpting, yoga, Pilates, HIIT, TRX, etc. The space is gorgeous! Truve also supports the local businesses and artists, often displaying their work at the studio.

I first discovered Truve Fit a couple years ago. Like many, I came out of “sheltering in place” with a few added, unwanted pounds. I figured it would be a nice change to workout with a personal trainer, and I found Truve (and a few others) on Yelp! I immediately scheduled new client calls with a handful of trainers. After speaking with each potential trainer, going with Alison and her team at Truve was a no-brainer. It was clear she was down-to-earth and very flexible. I met a couple of her other trainers as well, as we figured out my schedule and who had availability. At first, my intention was to have someone come to my house, as I am normally not super comfortable at gyms. Truve was different. Everyone was super friendly - no douchey gym vibe here! After my first workout, I immediately felt comfortable and was happy to workout at Truve. Truve also offers a variety of other awesome services that I use. Amanda is, hands down, one of the best massage therapists I have ever seen (and I’ve seen many!). After seeing her once, I quickly got on her schedule for bi-weekly massages and just recently increased them to weekly (to coincide with an abnormally stressful time at work). She’s exceptional and tailors every massage to what I need and how I’m feeling at the moment. She’s also super sweet and always makes me feel comfortable and at ease. I’ve not yet tried acupuncture at Truve, but it’s the very next thing I plan to try out. I’ve been meaning to try acupuncture for some time now and was very pleasantly surprised to learn that Truve offers this service, as the quality of practitioners working at Truve is very high across the board. I have no doubt I won’t be disappointed. Over the years, I’ve been a member at a number of different gyms, but Truve Fit is like no other. The staff are all friendly and knowledgeable, the caliber of practitioners at Truve is exceptional, and the space is awesome for group classes or personal training. Parking is also fully validated at no cost - which is an added bonus! Definitely try out Truve Fit; you won’t regret it.

Truve is the best gym/wellness facility in the whole east bay. Over the years I’ve used a lot of their different services from the spin classes and boot camps, to the acupuncture and physical therapy - all super high level products and service! Alison and Dennis are the best part of Truve because they create such a welcoming community and experience for everyone. Highly recommend.

I’ve been training with Ashley at Truve Fit for about a year and couldn’t be more pleased with the results. I have had several personal bests cycling and the balance work has helped my golf swing as well. The place is always welcoming and there is parking!

Great People….Always Positive Energy 💪🏿👍🏾

I was curious about Truve a long time before I finally decided to get in touch with Alison, the owner, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Alison, the trainers, and other practitioners at Truve are true professionals. The facilities and classes are great, and everyone is friendly and helpful. It's a place you feel welcome and want to come back to. I also love the fact that Truve offers free community classes and has done so for longer than I have been a member. Alison has a true commitment to the Oakland community, and this is just one of the ways she shows it.
