Joyce H. says, "I’m so thrilled to have found Jamie! I started 1-1 classes on zoom with Jamie since January. I was totally a beginner to yoga and Jamie made me fall in love with it. She’s always patient and professional. I experienced a lot of stiffness after WFH, Jamie’s classes have helped me a lot. My energy level and body stiffness have been improved a lot. Jamie also modified the workouts every time according to my needs and my energy level. I always feel very grateful and relaxed after practicing yoga with her. ☺️" Read more

Online fitness classes cost $10 to $50 per month on average. The monthly subscription fee typically gives you unlimited access to prerecorded classes available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Some subscriptions, like Peloton, also include online access to interactive live-streamed classes.

Can I use my HSA to pay for fitness classes?

You can only use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for fitness classes if your physician or nurse practitioner prescribes an exercise regimen for a specific medical condition.

Your physician must write a letter of medical necessity (LMN) confirming the classes are intended to treat or prevent a medical condition, and you must provide a copy of the letter to the IRS when filing your taxes. The LMN is typically good for one year from the date it's signed. However, your physician may recommend a shorter duration.

Does Planet Fitness or Anytime Fitness have group classes?

Yes, Planet Fitness and Anytime Fitness both offer group fitness classes led by certified personal trainers. Classes at both gyms are limited to small groups to allow the trainer to provide direct coaching as needed. Most franchise locations offer these classes 10 to 14 times per day, and members can attend unlimited classes.

What kind of fitness classes are available?

Group fitness classes are available in a wide variety of styles, making it easy to find one that best suits your needs. Popular class options include:

  • Cardio
  • Cycling / spinning
  • Dance
  • Kickboxing
  • Pilates
  • Yoga
  • CrossFit
  • Ballet / barre
  • Zumba
  • Water fitness
  • Strength training, including bodyweight workouts and weightlifting classes

How do I choose the best fitness class near me?

When choosing a fitness class, first decide on your goals for the class. Are you looking to improve your cardio health, strength, endurance, mobility, or all of the above? Once you have an idea of your goals in mind, follow these tips:

  • Check out the classes available in your area to see which style most appeals to you.
  • Ask for recommendations from friends, family, and your medical provider.
  • Read the class and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Get a day pass or take a free trial class at the gym or studio.
  • Don't sign a monthly or annual contract until you've taken a free class.

What questions should I ask about fitness classes before joining?

When evaluating a gym or fitness studio, ask these questions to help you find the best fitness class for you:

  • What is the class schedule?
  • Do you charge by the class or by the month?
  • How many classes per month does the membership plan include?
  • Do you require members to subscribe for a minimum number of months or an annual plan?
  • Do you offer a free trial class or day pass?
  • Are your class instructors also certified personal trainers?
  • How many people are in a typical class?
  • Are there any rules about what to wear to the class?
  • Will I need to bring any equipment, like a yoga mat or towel?

Reviews for San Mateo fitness classes

Recent success stories from people in the San Mateo area.
Jess T.
Jaime is an amazing yoga instructor! If you're looking for someone to help start your yoga practice or really expand and build upon your yoga foundation, Jamie is the teacher you've been looking for! She will push you when you are ready and she will help you rest when you need it. She knows all the tricks to help describe how your body should be feeling in a certain pose. Her yoga style is typically flow/vinyasa based, but she also leads great restorative classes. She is flexible, easy to communicate with, and a genuinely friendly person. During the pandemic she started teaching a 45 min restorative class that helps you center/ground and start off the week right. I highly recommend this class- especially if you are feeling stressed and tense. It always helps loosen the tension I carry in my neck and shoulders. She always answers questions and if something does feel right will change the direction of a yoga session to accommodate. I'm an intermediate yogi and I've done one on one and group classes with Jaime for over a year.

Cody is friendly and positive and great with my 13 yr old. He comes prepared and on time every week and is great with communication. I can see the improvements and excitement in my player after just a few sessions. Cody clearly knows his baseball and knows how to connect with the kids. Highly recommended.

He took the time to meet with me to discuss my goals and listen to the problems I was having with fitness. His workouts are interesting and appropriately challenging. I’m new to boxing but he has made it an amazing experience. He is knowledgeable and flexible with scheduling. So glad I signed up!!

I hired Melinda as I felt she was best suited for my needs. I had been unable to exercise consistently due to various physical ailments. I wanted a personal trainer to help me start gently again in an exercise program focusing on strength, balance, flexibility and conditioning. Melinda more than delivered. I have been seeing her twice a week, focusing on all those areas and I feel so much better than when I began with Melinda. Unlike other personal trainers I had talked to who seemed much more all or nothing, go go go types, Melinda came across as one who was holistic and willing to work from where I was at (which was not very far lol). She is holistic, listening to not only what I say but what my body says and worked with me beyond a personal trainer many times as a physical therapist and a body worker to address the various health issues I had. Don't let the gentle sounding sessions fool you though. Through floor exercises (core and full body) and light weights, this helped me drop down two sizes and gain tone and definition to my body. Melinda also helped me get rid of foot and wrist tendinitis and has vastly improved my sciatica. I feel so much more freedom and far less pain in my body then when I began and I have Melinda to thank for that. I highly recommend Melinda!!

At 28 I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroid Disease and it's been very tough on me. The doctors told me I could lose up to 3 lbs a year if I work really hard. It was very discouraging but I accepted it. Last July, I came off the meds because I felt like they were poisoning me and I saw no change with them. I gained weight, I didn't sleep well at night and I had no energy. Now, I sleep like a baby and I lost 12lbs in just 1 month! I never wore dresses because my mommy tummy poked through, now I love dresses.
