I have been working out with Sarah for a full year now over zoom and in person (due to COVID). Love…read morelove love our workouts!! She has helped me hit my fitness goals even with a tailbone injury this year. Her flexibility and caring personality has really made her agile with the pandemic and has allowed my whole family to stay in shape over the last year (mother in law, mom, husband). My initial goal with Sarah was just to build strength- now I'm running with my dog 3-4 times a week and deadlifting 145 lbs- I have never been in better shape. Their gym is small but it's just enough room for 1 on 1 or a small class and also has an outdoor space. There's a great variety of equipment and they keep the place tidy and sanitized.

I started training with Sarah in the spring of 2018 once a week to try and help with some extreme…read morelower back pain. I quickly increased my training schedule to 3 days a week because, for the first time in my adult life, I truly enjoyed working out. Sarah and Q trained me for 9 months, following the rigid rules given by my orthopedist (which included no bending forward). Even with limited mobility, the training was fun but difficult and I could see myself improving. After a fractured spine diagnosis and 2 back surgeries, Sarah and Q pickup up my training the minute I was cleared by my surgeon. After only 2 and a half months of working out at Brock training, I was cleared to no longer attend physical therapy. Sarah and Q's training was deemed more beneficial than the time spent with a UCSD physical therapist. My PT and surgeons were so impressed with the perfect form I maintained during my workouts and how thorough Sarah and Q were to ensure I never lost focus on a neutral spine. They are so considerate and knowledgeable I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my recovery. Brock Personal Training is the perfect mix of experienced trainers, an extremely fun time with wonderful people and a strenuous workout. I will always make time in my schedule (which is the hardest part) to continue working out with both Sarah and Q. Their individual styles complement each other and help to keep every hour interesting.

A great workout in Solona Beach! I came in with Class Pass on a whim, not sure exactly what to…read moreexpect. I found an incredible circuit style workout. There were 12 others in the class, and I still felt I got personalized attention throughout. This is a similar class to the Functional 45 (F45) class that is taking over right now. I was impressed that he had the same offering and yet seemed more accessible due to Class Pass. Another perk was the cool people also working out there. I feel like this would be an easy place to meet some fit and fun locals. I'll be back, and look forward to seeing how much the workouts change week to week. While in my first class someone had been there the day before, and so Scott (the trainer) changed her workout to help tailor to what she personally needed. It was a great touch!

His commitment and passion for personal training pours from his heart. Love, love, love Gemini Fit!!

I started training with Ro 3 months ago with the hopes of improving the constant back pain I was…read morehaving due to an injury and with the hope of dropping 20 pounds that I gained last year with the inactivity from CoVid and having surgery on my wrist. I was at my heaviest and feeling horrible. I was also told by Doctors that I should consider surgery at some point if the back pain continued and that I should also stop running, squatting and deadlifting. As a former athlete and always being active this hit me hard that I was being told I would need back surgery and that I could not do some of things I was use to doing. I met with Ro and he conducted a assessment that gave him the information that we needed to build a program that helped me meet my goals. Throughout the process he educated me on how to properly perform each movement and guided me on a nutrition program that was very well balanced and maintainable. He taught me new training methods and movements that also helped me improve my flexibility. I am very pleased with my results as I lost the 20 pounds that I was shooting for but most importantly I am running, squatting, deadlifting weight I couldn't before without any pain. I appreciate the dedication he showed me during my time with him and highly recommend him to anyone.

Ro was my personal trainer for several months earlier this year in the midst of the pandemic. It is…read moreof course worth mentioning that he abided by all the health regulations and guidance provided by San Diego county and the state of California throughout all our training sessions, and made sure I felt safe and comfortable. As far as training goes, Ro is the complete package. He takes both foundational and very technical approaches to strength and mobility, focusing on core movements and proper form as well as emphasizing how mobility and flexibility relate to strength. As someone interested in Muay Thai and judo, he also custom tailed our training sessions to include pad work, proper Muay Thai technique, and uchikomi band exercises. In addition to the training sessions, Ro has helped me immensely in terms of understanding and setting the right goals for nutrition. He helped me understand the right caloric intake as well as protein and other nutrients I should aim for in order to move up a weight class while retaining low body fat %. Overall if you're interested in bulking up, working on mobility/flexibility, conditioning for judo and/or Muay Thai, Ro is your man

I am not seeing Marko for fitness but for his Acupressure-Massage for cronic soft tissue hip pain…read more Before I found Marko, through a trusted friend, I tried deep tissue massage, chiropractic, ultrasound, laser treatments, stretching, sauna, swimming and exercise. Nothing was working and I'm trying to get in shape to hike mountains in Colorado in 3 months but have a lot of pain just walking my dog, sitting or sleeping! After just two sessions with Marko and I'm finally getting some relief. I'm so excited to finally feel like I won't have to cancel my hiking trip! This is a massage like no other I have ever had and I work in the spa industry. He is so strong and gets so deep that while it is happening it is quite painful but he guides you in breathing through it and doesn't go beyond what each client can personally handle. You could never get a massage this deep at a professional business - it's that deep! You have to really want to get better and trust that doing the work will get you there. If that is your attitude then Marko is the one to work with. You can check his credentials on his fitness website: MarkoFitness.com. He is located in Carmel Valley right off I-56. I highly recommend Marko Dresevic.

Bottom line: I've lost 25 lbs and re-gained a craving for exercise since I started training with…read moreMarko 9 months ago. Feel free to stop here if you are already sold, but I'll give you my story if you need some more convincing. Last year I put on 50 pounds during my pregnancy with my first child. I realized towards the end of my pregnancy that if I did not do something to lose that weight after I gave birth that I would be "one of those women who lost their figure and never got it back" for the rest of my life. I decided then that my goal was to be back to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time I went back to work after maternity leave. Marko helped me achieve this goal, and I absolutely could not have done it without him. I started training with Marko six weeks and three days postpartum. I had not worked out for months since before my pregnancy, and had not consistently worked out in years. I was very lucky to lose 35 of those 50 pounds the first three weeks after I gave birth just from nursing, but the weight loss stopped there and I was stuck with another fifteen pounds that wouldn't budge. The first thing you notice about Marko is that he is incredibly fit. The next thing you notice about Marko is that everyone he is training is incredibly fit. As I looked at the perfectly sculpted body of the other woman Marko would be training alongside me that first day I felt completely intimidated and extremely hopeful at the same time. I wondered if I would ever get back into my pre-pregnancy jeans, but I figured if he helped her look as good as she did perhaps there was hope for me too. The thing is, she is not an anomaly. Everyone who works out with him looks that good! I'm not going to lie, the training was brutal at first. I was completely out of shape, and working out after 3-5 hours of interrupted sleep with a newborn was no joke. But Marko ramped me up slowly. I loved his philosophy about the intensity of workouts. He would demonstrate an exercise for me, give me the number of sets and reps, and then told me to complete them at my own pace. He gave me an analogy about his dog Pablo, "Pablo fetches the ball over and over again until he is tired. Then he stops for a bit an rests in the shade. When he is ready to play again he gets up and keeps going", Marko told me. So I worked out as hard as I could, and I rested when I needed to before starting again. Marko gradually ramped up the intensity of my workouts over the next few weeks as I grew stronger and stronger. I only had the energy to work out with him twice per week, but I committed to always go train with him those two times weekly no matter how exhausted I was from taking care of my new baby. Within a month or so I noticed an incredible change in my stamina and the amount of weight I could lift. By the time I went back to work I had lost every last one of those 15 pounds of pregnancy weight. My co-workers were completely amazed that I had lost all 50 pounds in just 4 and a half months. I'm not sure if it was harder to start working out with a newborn or to keep working out after returning to work full-time and taking care of an infant when I got home. I can also honestly say that I would've fallen off the wagon if it wasn't for Marko encouraging me to keep up my new level of fitness and to not lose momentum. As I tried to get back into the groove at work there were times I was not able to train with Marko and would instead try to workout on my own. Marko would send me texts to check in on me and ask if I had made time to workout that week. The guilt I would feel if I had not done so would make me go to the gym the next day. Plus I knew that he would kick my a*#$ the next time I trained with him so I better stay in shape or I would be seriously feeling it. I am still training with Marko, and I now weigh 10 pounds less than I did when I got pregnant. This weekend I put on a dress I bought before I met my husband that had not fit since. The dress fit perfectly, and he had never seen me in it in the five years we have been together. I can now say that Marko has not only transformed my body but he has transformed my life. I really look forward to working out with him, and am self-motivated to workout on my own three or four days a week. Marko still sends me texts to check in on me and make sure I'm, "Doing my homework," as he says. The best part is when I workout at the same time as one of his other clients who hasn't seen me for awhile and they say, "Wow, you look great!". So what are you waiting for!? If we happen to train at the same time one of these days I guarantee you won't know that I am the one who weighed over 200 pounds last July. I am on my way to having the beautiful atheletic body the rest of Marko's clients have as you will be too if you call Marko!

His classes vary by muscle group each week, though I've noticed my hip and joint mobility have already improved in just a few classes. For me, who either sits at a desk or in a car for hours every day, Andrew's training has allowed me to be more mindful with the types of exercises and stretches that I do during the week, improving my range of motion when working out, and helping me stay more energized throughout the day. Overall, I highly recommend Swasey Fitness!

Adam listens to your concerns and truly cares about the goals in which you are aiming to achieve. Before I started seeing Adam, I was able to work out maybe once a week; but after seeing him on a consistent basis, I can comfortably work out 3-4 times a week! The results speak for themselves and I highly recommend everyone, from athletes to senior citizens to check out MAT. Thank you Adam for all that you do!

Where do I find a legit personal trainer that could not only ensure I get good workouts, had a compatible personality but would also give me some diet advice too? (It sure wasn't at 24 hr Fitness - how can you call yourself a personal trainer when you have a beer gut? But I digress...) I found Bill on yelp (thanks yelp!) and I've been training with him now for 6 months! I like that we work out outside with very basic equipment - so I know the vast majority of what we do I can do myself at home. He provides suggestions on what I can be working on the rest of the week. I've been very impressed how he always has creative and well-grounded exercises to challenge me with (I swear I think we are up to 50 different exercises on the suspension training ropes he uses!). Through him I found personatrainerfood.com which has been really helpful for me to improve my diet (my challenge was I often didn't have time to prepare healthy food). He's flexible to my schedule and responsive on texts. I appreciate (as others have said) that he's super knowledgable about the physiology behind the exercise but doesn't lecture or judge. I would highly recommend Bill!
