Brick House Fitness - San Jose, California

Life changing! I was really slowing down and had gotten out of my workout routines. I knew I didn’t want to start at a regular gym and then lose motivation, so I decided to try Brickhouse. As an independent gym it has its own vibe—it is a friendly culture with everyone going for their personal best and lots of support and encouragement. The trainers are also experts—they will correct your form, give you special suggestions if you need to work around an injury, and they are inspiring because they really live the fitness lifestyle. I also love the space. Classes never feel crowded. Come check it out—after 6 months I’m doing full pushups, I feel better, and my clothes fit again!

I've tried all types of things for my fitness -- from working out with friends at 24 to Peloton-ing at home but nothing compares to the support and community that is Brick House. The coaches are truly amazing! They are always friendly, helpful, and super knowledgeable. They're happy to answer any questions I have during the workouts and offer guidance on specific movements in case I need modifications. The atmosphere is positive and extremely motivating. The music is ALWAYS lit and the other members are supportive and encouraging. I always feel comfortable working out here. I would highly recommend Brick House to anyone looking for a great class-formatted gym. It's a clean, well-equipped, and friendly environment that is perfect for people of all fitness levels.

I have been a Brick House Fitness member for over 10 years now and I don't feel like just a member, I feel like family. That is what you get at Brick House! From the coaches to the members, we are all in it together. Brick House is OUR Place - we all work hard together and support each other. The coaches are so knowledgeable and always up to date on the latest and greatest to keep things fun and challenging.

I truly believe that they care about my health and wellness. That they go above and beyond to make sure I am pushing myself and meeting my goals. They are honest and realistic about what I should be doing and what I need to work on. They even go out of their way to find new and challenging ways to reach my goals! This month we are playing a Bingo game that is giving us an opportunity to do a little extra and maybe win an awesome prize in the process!

If you are looking for a place to make some new friends, work really hard, challenge yourself and even surprise yourself, then Brick House is where you need to be!

It’s the greatest gift you can give yourself!

I have been going to the fitness classes for a few months now and I have been thoroughly enjoying them. There’s 4 classes a day with different days focusing on either more strength building or more cardio but every class will definitely leave you sore and/or tired! Different from other commercial gyms, at Brickhouse it feels as if you are connecting with a small community of folks who will push you and themselves to put your everything in that workout allowing continuous progress. Additionally, the coaching staff are amazing and push you in different ways based on their expertise and experience so you will always be challenged to do your best. And if you want to be further challenged, every few months there are challenges you can choose to participate in that will challenge you to put even more effort but the gains are always worth it (I’ve participated in one so far). Even with all that, there’s seems to be a relaxing atmosphere where coaching staff and gym members can banter and have fun while completing the workouts assigned. If this is what you’re looking for I recommend you have a look and see what it’s all about!

There’s a reason this gym still stands after so many have closed over the last few years. The reality is it’s incredibly intimidating to join a new gym. How hard are the workouts? Will I be judged by how inexperienced I am? Will the coaches be too hard on me? Can I just get a workout in and out? Is it clique-y since this gym has been around for so long?

One thing I’ve noticed about Brick House vs the other gyms I’ve tried - the coaches here are very intentional in their inclusivity. There’s a difference between being nice and being genuine and caring. Their disposition carries to the students and I can reassuringly and confidently state that everyone is incredibly welcoming and friendly.

Their workouts are great. They have an app that makes it really easy to sign up and see what the workout of the day/week is. The coaches walk you through all the movements thoroughly - the standard exercise and an option to scale up or down depending on your fitness level. During the workout, they will continue to monitor and correct as needed. The music is on point! You stay motivated throughout the entire workout and it’s loud enough where if an embarrassing sound escapes you no one hears it ?

Location seems dicey but it’s not at all. Street parking only but there’s plenty along the street, around the block, or across the street.

All in all a really great gym and highly recommend you give this place a try!

I have been working out at Brick House Fitness for the past 10+years. I love the community, the coaches and support I get from the Brick House community. The coaches are knowledgeable about fitness, nutrition, mobility and can customize all workouts to fit the needs of individuals based on fitness levels. The coaches make everyone feel welcome. This is not a typical gym where no one
knows your name. We are constantly cheering on others, encouraging others and pushing each other to be a better version of ourselves. I have made some amazing friends at Brick House Fitness. Come by and check out a class.

I have really enjoyed joint this gym. All of their trainers are very professional and knowledgeable. It’s is a good gym for group workouts for people of any age Or fitness level. They work with each person and have different movements in the workout to adjust to those with injuries or difficulties doing the movement. They are a perfect balance of pushing you to work hard and challenge yourself but they never push to hard and make you feel awkward. You will work hard and see results. 10/10 I would recommend if you want to lose weight, gain strength and be held accountable.
