The Verdict on United Barbell
United Barbell closed on June 26, 2026, so it no longer offers drop-ins or classes. Do not plan a visit, and confirm the drop-in terms of any other San Francisco box before you go.
Pricing Notes
A Yelp reviewer reported a $30 open gym drop-in fee [6]. A city research note reports $30 single sessions on ninjathlete.com [13]. Neither is an official price, so neither is in the price columns. The goodgym.co pricing page [3] lists prices for Good Gym in Oakland, a different gym, so those prices are not used here.
Good to Know
- Closed
- Closed June 26, 2026 after 16 years in SOMA[2]

Visitor Guide
Status
United Barbell closed on June 26, 2026, after 16 years in SOMA. Do not travel to 681 4th Street for a class. The gym's own closure notice confirms the closure, and its Instagram announced a free final WOD on June 27.
Where to train instead
CrossFit Golden Gate says on its programs page that it welcomes drop-ins for classes and open gym times. Potrero Hill CrossFit lists a $35 drop-in on its membership page. Both are third-party pages, so check current terms directly before you go.
Before you book
The $30 drop-in price some reviews mention belonged to United Barbell and no longer applies. Any price from a third-party source can be out of date, so confirm with the box first.
