The Burlingame Studio That’s Revolutionizing Fitness

Your one-stop shop for complete fitness

At Criminal Fitness, we don’t follow the rules - we break them. Like the “rule” that cardio is all you need to get fit. Or pushing yourself until you’re in pain means you’ll see results faster.

Those rules were meant to be broken.

Our locally owned and operated studio is proud to bring the San Francisco Bay Area a better way to train. By combining the low-impact, high-intensity training styles of Lagree and Pilates with the fast-paced, calorie-burning methods of HIIT and strength training, we’ve created a system that will transform your body and teach you how to train for long-lasting strength and longevity.

Beginners?  We’ve got your sentence ready. Start with our Learn the Machine workshop—slow-paced, focused on the basics—or jump into our Level One class and begin building your strength from the ground up.  We also have intermediate classes for those ready to level up, and soon, we’ll have advanced and super advanced workouts for the truly hardcore. No matter where you start, we’ll help you build a solid foundation, because we’re here to make sure you’re strong for life.

If you’re the type who steps into a gym or fitness studio and immediately feels the urge to bail, we’ve been there. We’ve got your back. At Criminal Fitness, excuses are outlawed, and hard work is always rewarded.

Meet the warden: Lorene Pesacreta

For some, pain from severe scoliosis is a life sentence - but not for Lorene. After growing up and enduring constant pain, she found her escape without countless surgeries and endless pain meds: 

She found Pilates. 

And from her first class, she was hooked. Not just by the results, but by the promise that movement could heal. 

That obsession turned into a mission: to create the ultimate workout that fuses multiple training methods into one system that builds strength, prevents pain, and keeps you fit for life. And after 15+ years of doing time training and perfecting her craft, Lorene is bringing her unrelenting drive and no-nonsense LA-training style to the Bay Area.

New to working out and not sure where to start? Lorene knows what its like to lack support in body and life and Criminal Fitness can help you see the same transformation she’s had—from back braces to strong and confident.
