How to Use Our Open Gym for a Full Body Workout Routine
When it comes to fitness, finding a space that fits your goals and style makes all the difference. At The Combine in Oakland, CA, we’re proud to offer not only dynamic group classes but also an open gym membership that allows you to take your fitness journey into your own hands.
Whether you're a personal trainer needing space, someone crafting their own whole body workout program, or just someone who prefers a self-guided approach, our open gym is here for you.
What Is an Open Gym?
An open gym is exactly what it sounds like: a flexible training environment where you can work out at your own pace and on your own terms. Unlike scheduled classes, open gym gives you the freedom to build a full body workout routine that works best for you.
With access to our premium equipment, it’s perfect for personal trainers who need studio space, individuals following a specific whole body workout program, or anyone who loves the idea of training solo with no time restrictions.
Why Choose Open Gym for a Full Body Workout Routine?
Strength training is an essential component of any fitness regimen, and a full body workout routine maximizes efficiency by engaging multiple muscle groups in one workout. Open gym access allows you to:
Personalize Your Routine: Focus on the movements and equipment that align with your goals.
Progress at Your Pace: No rush, no waiting for the next set of instructions.
Experiment Freely: Try new exercises or combinations without feeling tied to a class structure.
