They all chose UFO because they want to elevate both mind and body when they cross our threshold. We sweat, we laugh, we cry and we breakthrough. We celebrate one another’s victories.

“What really surprised me about this place is the culture… The trainers learn your name right away, and the people who go here are extremely friendly and encouraging.

“I spent the last year or so looking for a nearby gym, and even tried out a few. I have been coming to Urban Fitness Oakland for about 2 months and I am glad to say that search is over.

“Best gym I’ve ever joined. I have to admit, I was a little intimidated at first, but a few semiprivate sessions and I was in the regular classes. It’s a beast of a workout but everyone here is so supportive, members and trainers alike.


With a FIVE STAR rating for over 14 years, we don't mess around with making people happy.

If you’re looking for your next gym, this ain’t it. is your YOU workshop.

“There has never been a gym where I don’t have to roll my eyes at what the coaches are saying. I will say that most of the coaches at UFO are not pulling sh*t explanations out of their a$$ and it’s what keeps me here and not looking to switch gyms. - Anonymous on recent survey

Our unmatched focus on the pulse here allows us to provide an unmatched experience day after day, year after year. While fads pop up around us every year, we remain unrelenting in our focus; You. Community. Experience. Results. And most importantly, SUSTAINING those things. This is not a wham bam cardio jam jam post an IG selfie kinda place. It’s real, genuine people showing up for each other every day, rain, shine, and everything in between.

But don’t take our word for it… ask the members that have been here for 5, 6, 7… 14 years why they are still here.

“I’ve taken multiple classes led by Ash and by Mindy now. All have been great! Classes are tailorable to your personal fitness level with multiple options for the amount of weight you lift or the degree of resistance you put on the springboard. You really get out of the class what you put in and they’re super patient. Classes are small sized so they are able to provide corrections, and explain in great detail what areas you’re working and how to optimize for your desired impact. Excited to test out the variety of new classes they’re offering now, but each and every class is already different (despite the dreaded final plank), so you never get bored or overly fatigued in one place.”

“The small group environment for classes and individual attention for private sessions really promotes a sense of trust. You get to go at your own pace while still pushing yourself to full potential…Forget all of the trends of the extreme gyms. This is the real deal. I can’t imagine training anywhere else.”

This is the most beautiful studio I’ve ever worked out in. And the instructors are so fun and knowledgeable. I’ve been getting personal training from Mona Meline and she is the best trainer I’ve had, and I’ve had several over the years. She creates workouts for me based on my need for variety. She makes sure I’m really warmed up beforehand and stretched out after my workout. She also provides me with a lavender scented cold cloth that is heaven on my hot sweaty face and neck. My strength, endurance, balance, and range of motion have significantly improved since we started training. I’ve also been benefiting from a monthly massage at Bliss with a therapist who is able to offer feedback to my trainer about the subtle aspects of my body and what areas need more attention, or how I might be favoring one side over another. It’s like I have a team behind me.


The fitness classes are great but I stay for the community. Everyone is really down to Earth and the teachers really have us get to know each other. I go as much for the workout as the social time!

I always feel welcome and I get a great workout. It feels wonderful to sweat and work on strength training and cardio in a fun environment!

I really despise exercising indoors. But Bliss has made it fun, and the people that take the classes with me (Bliss Grooves & Urban Recess) are great! It is fun, but also a really great workout. And an extra bonus is how beautiful the location is, and the upcoming massage services. Huge thanks to Mona, and Bliss for getting me more active!

This is one of the most welcoming gyms I have ever been to!

Bliss makes exercise fun and accessible to people of all fitness levels. The space is great, Mona (the owner) is wonderful and kind, and the classes and workshops are always fun and interesting!

Gorgeous open and colorful space. Theres a variety of exercise and fitness options available. I’ve taken the Tuesday night yoga classes with Valerie. She’s an amazing teacher who delivers a thoughtful practice. The bliss community is supportive and welcoming making it an overall wonderful experience.

Bliss is a bright and beautiful space, filled with a fun and supportive community of people trying to get/be/stay fit. It’s obvious that Mona (the owner) has put a lot of love, thought, and attention into selecting the types of classes and instructors. Current, my favorite classes are:

– Jordana’s TRX class that always kicks my butt, but it’s too hard to stop with the great music selection that keeps me going. So much fun!

I usually find “boot camp” classes kind of a drag, but the element of play in Bliss’s Rebel Recess class really works as a distraction from the exercise. It and the TRX classes are amazing workouts and you can modify the exercises. I’ve also enjoyed all my yoga classes with Shanti as they make my bodywork and feel great, and they’re interesting. I wasn’t even bored in the vinyasa class, which I often find repetitive elsewhere. This place is really cute, with really friendly instructors, great classes, and lavender-scented mat spray.

There are lots of workout studios around but this place adds a personal community vibe that you don’t get anywhere else. Mona is amazingly and really cares about getting you into the workout that’s appropriate for you. Even though I am super out of shape there’s no intimidating feeling in the classes.
