Join us for Fitness Fridays!
Nu Fitness, Northlake Oakland, and Drink Thicc are teaming up to bring you free community workouts Fridays at 5 PM! ☀️ At Nu Fitness, we believe in the power of community. That’s why we’ve teamed up with the Northlake Oakland Neighborhood Initiative to host Fitness Fridays — weekly events that bring together fitness enthusiasts and newcomers alike. 👥 💚
We start with a smoothie happy hour at Drink Thicc at 4:00pm and then head over to the newly transformed community lot for a dynamic workout session. 🥤🤸 We’ve had high-energy workouts with Ashley and relaxing yoga sessions with D’Shauna. It’s been amazing to see neighbors join in, make new friends, and build a healthier, happier community together. 🧩
Join us Friday 7/25/25 and 8/1/25 — It’s a fantastic way to connect, get active, be outdoors, and enjoy the neighborhood’s vibrant energy. ✨
New Neighbor Spotlight: Drink Thicc Has Arrived! 🥤
Welcome our friends at Drink Thicc to the neighborhood! They’ve just opened a brand new smoothie spot right around the corner from our private gym here on Broadway in Oakland! 🙌
Drink Thicc is on a mission to make nourishment that’s tasty, functional, and accessible. They believe in supporting mind, body, and soul — a philosophy that deeply aligns with what we do at Nu Fitness. High-protein, low-calorie smoothies, organic bowls and seasonal specials — everything they offer is crafted with purpose. Even better? 1% of every sale supports mutual aid efforts right here in Oakland. So every smoothie not only fuels your body — it also helps support our local community. 💛
We’re all about building community through movement, and we’re so grateful to now have a neighbor doing the same through conscious consumption. If you haven’t already, stop by Drink Thicc after your next session at Nu — your taste buds (and your muscles) will thank you.

Nu Fitness was voted # 1, Readers’ Choice, Best Personal Trainers in Oakland and the East Bay Area 2024! 🏆
Now we’ve made it to the Final Round for Best Personal Trainers in Oakland 2025 — Let’s Go for Two Years in a Row! 🏋️✨
🗳️ Vote for Nu Fitness in the Best Personal Trainers category 🔗 here!
We’re still riding the incredible wave of gratitude and excitement from last year — when we were honored (and honestly, shocked!) to be voted the #1 Best Personal Trainers in Oakland and the East Bay by Oakland Magazine. The love, trust, and support we felt from our clients, colleagues, friends, family, and the entire Oakland community was beyond anything we could have imagined. Read the feature Oakland Magazine wrote on us after the win 🔗 here!
What made it extra special? It wasn’t a panel of judges or a small committee — it was you. This recognition was decided entirely by votes from the people who show up for us, believe in what we do, and share this journey with us. That’s why this award means so much. It’s a reflection of the real connections we’ve built and the shared commitment to health, strength, and longevity. Last year, we didn’t even know we were nominated until we were already in the top 10 — and then, somehow, we took the top spot! The surprise made it even sweeter, and we’ve been fueled ever since by that sense of gratitude and purpose.
🔥 And here we are again! Thanks to your continued support, Nu Fitness has made it into the final round of voting for Oakland Magazine’s Best of Oakland 2025 — Best Personal Trainers category. We’re feeling the energy and the love — and we’re ready to go for it again this year. Two years in a row? Let’s make it happen together! 💪
We couldn’t do this without our amazing Nu Fitness community. If you’ve trained with us, joined one of our outdoor events, cheered us on from afar, or shared kind words about your experience — you are the heart of what we do. If you believe in what we bring to Oakland — fitness for life, health, and joy — we would love your vote to help us keep this momentum going.
