The Works Coop Exercise & Dance Studio
About
The Works is a member-run, multi-generational studio with addictive exercise and dance classes. We have a gorgeous facility with a real hardwood sprung dance floor to protect your joints, full-length mirrors, ballet barres, free weights, mats, and all manners of exercise equipment.
Plus, we have showers and free and easy 2-hour parking on our cross streets and convenient location near UC Berkeley.
People love us for 3 reasons:
1. Morning Exercise Classes: The coop hires smart, motivating teachers for morning classes, like Pilates mat, cardio dance, total body challenge, yoga + balance, world beat, etc. These classes are filled with intelligent and interesting coop members who make friends, while they are making themselves fit. These classes are open to all, and a discount class card can be used interchangeably for all of them. Good deal!
2. Hot Dance and Movement Teachers: During the evenings and weekends, you'll find the studio pulsing with awesome classes in samba, salsa, Cuban, capoeira, bhangra, hip hop, qigong, kundalini yoga, and more. The bay's uber-talented teachers rent our beautiful space to host their own version of hotness on the dance floor.
3. Personal Training and Workshops: With weekdays and open slots on our schedule, you'll find personal trainers and workshop leaders who come use our equipment and space. They love that we support with hands-on or hands-off admin, web marketing, and good vibes.

I have been exercising at The Works since it began as a coop about 13 years ago (and before that in its previous incarnations). The morning classes are great - by which I mean challenging, never boring, fun and always changing. We have had consistently excellent aerobics, pilates, and yoga teachers and Sarah, our manager, keeps the studio running without a hitch. The atmosphere is upbeat, encouraging and friendly. It is a beautiful, airy, clean, well-lighted place to workout and dance. I can't recommend it enough - both to potential exercisers, dancers and to renters. Come and try it out!
