Who We Are

James and Miranda Kusama took over this empty building at 2344 Harrison in 2014. Here they were determined to create an inclusive and welcoming community space for all fitness levels. 10 years later, their vision could not be more true, thriving in the heart of Oakland. 

Pacific Strength prides itself on thoughtful, safe, and engaging programming that our experienced coaching staff leads all our group classes through. We are able to adjust and scale the daily workout toward each individual’s current fitness level, insuring their proper athletic development and goals. Our gym continues to be the cornerstone of fitness and excellence here in the east bay, built on a foundation of expertise and a love for health and fitness. We celebrate diversity and the strength that comes from bringing together people from all walks of life. Join us and experience a community that  inspires you to reach your highest potential
