First off Alesha is pretty approachable. Her badassery is motivating rather than intimidating. She is also non judgemental, which is a very important trait in a PT that allows for an atmosphere of trust. Alesha is also blunt and straightforward which again, is needed in a PT. There's the hardcore push to complete sets and build on them as well as an even greater push to have correct form so as to train my body uniformly and properly. Alesha mixes up the workouts so as to keep the workouts fresh and eliminate routine. Alesha discusses nutrition and it's effects on the body, bringing awareness to the body's potential capabilities with the right overall diet. When I first started training with Alesha, my health, fitness, and nutrition were kind of all over the place i.e. little structure, not much direction. Through training with Alesha all of the above have improved significantly. I have way more direction in the afore mentioned categories. I used to take fitness classes here and there and was not too confident in my form when it came to weight training, so I rarely deviated from the routines I felt more confident in, which in truth was monotonous and boring. In turn, my confidence was not where it should have been and my diet was not where it should have been. Training with Alesha, I have gained my confidence back in a few areas of my life, I feel more secure with what my body can do (and the pain and soreness it can endure), and my diet and knowledge of nutrition has changed. Our (well my) workouts are definitely not monotonous nor boring. There is always something new that is sore and im rarely dreading how the exercise is going to effect my body because I don't have the foresight to. For the workouts I do have the hindsight for, I have found myself excited for. Alesha is amazing and flexible when it comes to the individuals (my borderline plant based) diet and providing a plethora of knowledge on nutrition. My grocery shopping has changed for the better and my meals are more intentional. Definitely sign up with Alesha if you are looking to change your lifestyle and eliminate those unhealthy habits that are only negatively impacting your health and life. Living a healthy life encompasses having a rich nutritional diet, staying physically active, challenging our mind, and loving our lives. Alesha keeps that momentum going every workout. I look forward to our workouts even on my toughest days. read more

I first contacted Rojin about 7 months before we started training together. I had lots of questions (which she always graciously answered) as I had never invested in personal training before. I needed to make sure I selected an ideal fit. What drew me into wanting to train with her is that she places a strong emphasis on what happens inside the kitchen in addition to the work done at the gym. After speaking with a few different trainers, I knew she was the one to help me accomplish my objectives. Right off the bat she advised me to nearly double my daily caloric intake and increase my daily carb intake from 10g a day to over 120g a day. I was given instructions on some new and additional exercises that I needed to do. To say that I was "challenged" by Rojin is an understatement; I was shoved right out of my comfort zone. And I absolutely love every moment of it! Within the first 60 days of training with her I shed 6 lbs, lost 1% body fat, added 20 lbs to and set my deadlift PR at 495 lbs. I posted my second best half marathon time ever. And I have experienced an uptick in the compliments I receive from others in regard to my muscle definition. I am stronger and faster than from the day we started. Today I'm about 3 months into training with Rojin and I couldn't be happier with my results so far. I will say this though, she is not some magic pill. While she can help you set the pins up, it's ultimately up to you to knock them down. You cannot expect serious results if you aren't going to take it serious. However, if you're willing to put in the work and have this insatiable desire to smash your goals - Sign up with her today!! You won't regret it!!! read more

Bodies By Amorim is a fantastic gym run by some of the most down-to-earth trainers I've ever met. Everybody is welcoming & supportive of each other which is a relief for those who may be intimidated at the idea of training at a new gym. The best way I can describe this gym is that it's spacious, yet intimate. Also the facilities & equipment are clean, organized, and properly taken care of. I train with Benny Evien who is a dedicated trainer that works hard to help you achieve your fitness goals. He is very attentive when training his clients such as making sure that your form is correct, offering advice on how to improve your diet, and going above and beyond by helping you stay on track outside of the gym in his off-hours. Benny is also a great listener who puts you and whatever you have on your mind above anything. It's fun that you can train hard and have an engaging conversation with him at the same time. I highly recommend training with Benny as he can be flexible with scheduling, his passion for exercise will inspire you to work harder and his workout routines are outstanding. Finally, if you're serious about improving your health and want to exercise in a welcoming environment then I highly recommend this place. Big shoutout to Travis, Benny, and the rest of the staff for all the support you've given me! read more

I love training with Alesha! When I first started training with her I didn't have much of a consistent fitness routine and I was ready to make some changes in my health. Alesha was great with helping figure out a plan both with fitness and nutrition as well as helping keep me on track with workouts outside of our sessions. I have gotten so much stronger and more confident working out. Alesha pushes me to do things I never thought I could do (so many pull-ups!), but she is also always aware and cognizant of how I'm feeling each session and my abilities. And she encourages check-ins periodically to help me stick to my goals and see if I have any questions or want to try anything new/different. She has great energy and is always so positive. She's great at mixing up our routines so we're always doing new workouts and it doesn't get boring. We even tried boxing one day! And I was way over-prepared for the Tough Mudder I did last year because of her. :) Alesha is really passionate about what she does and it shows. She cares about her clients. It makes my training with her really enjoyable and I look forward to each session (even the super early ones). I would recommend Alesha to anyone and everyone! -Rebecca https://www.yelp.com/biz/a-team-health-and-fitness-sunnyvale read more

Travis has set up an absolutely fantastic gym, and has a suite of really great people working with him there. The atmosphere is fun and positive, and all the trainers seem really interested in your fitness journey. The rest of this review is for my trainer, TJ Mims: TJ has been fantastic. He's very responsive to my needs for program modification due to injury and age, and he's always adding new exercises and accessory lifts to keep the program interesting. With a personal service like fitness training, I think it's important to understand that different trainers have different specialties and interests, and each client has their own interests and goals. Personally I'm looking to build strength in classic power lifting, while staying as injury free as possible. (Anyone who's weightlifted or done other sports for multiple years knows that injuries will happen eventually, but with proper rest and rehab almost all injuries are recoverable and we can eventually be stronger than before.) TJ works me as hard as I'm willing to work, but also understands the importance of rest and occasional cheat days. Not all trainers work for all clients, but TJ works great for me, and so far TJ meets and exceeds my expectations. read more

Reached out to BBA gym once I was given the all clear from my doctors at 6 months postpartum (c-section) and it's been a fantastic experience with them from the start. I have been training with Benjamin (Benji) for almost 6 months now and he is very knowledgeable, upbeat and have made me feel very safe and understood that I m getting back into exercising. Each training session is the perfect mix of interesting and challenging workouts while still being okay to move around the next day. Can feel myself getting stronger and better with each session. I have always hated gyms and physical activity, but Benji has changed the way I think about working out and eating healthy. He does a great job at personalizing my workout based on my body, fitness state, and personal preference (I hate, hate, hate cardio). He has motivated me to get healthier and has been very invested in my progress, checking on me even outside of our weekly workouts. In a few months working out with him I have seen tremendous changes to my body and to the way I think about food and physical activity. Overall, Benji is an excellent trainer and I strongly recommend him, even (especially) if you are thinking you will never love going to the gym. read more

Benny Evien at BBA Gym is an awesome trainer! I started training with him about a year before my wedding and he helped me achieve everything I wanted and more! He is very personal, encouraging, flexible, respectful, a good listener, and finds various ways to help you achieve your goals. He helped me lose weight, gain muscles/strength/stamina, and made me go from only exercising once every few weeks to exercising and ENJOYING being active everyday! He will support you in various ways, too - not just during your training sessions but outside as well, such as your diet (making sure you understand what/how to best eat to achieve your goals), and caring about you and your overall health in general (sleep, injuries, work, life, etc.). He knows when to push you and when to slow down, and if you have concerns, he will listen and try everything he can to make it better. He also gives you different workouts/routines as well to workout targeted areas, balance things out, and keep things fun. I have trained with him for over 2 years now and it's been awesome! I highly recommend training with Benny if you want to stay fit, healthy, enjoy your workouts, and gain a good friend! read more

Long story short (read the below if you're interested): BBA gym is a dedicated, serious yet friendly space for you to get your workout done. Travis and all the fellow trainers are nice and pro. Equipments are versatile and clean. Seriously couldn't ask for me at its affordable price! I'm proud to call here my second home! While I was traveling to California for a short business trip, I felt quite stressful as I was also 4 weeks out from my first lifting competition. Although it'd be just about deadlift, the nerves still got me like ¥{¥|£\!|¥\$2:$&;$! I did not want working abroad compromise my training and would love to have someone professional supervise my form and give me some insights on how I could do better. Thus I have scheduled 5 training sessions with TJ. It was undoubtedly the highlight of my trip. You won't believe how much knowledge I had brought home with me. TJ is a professional, experienced and meticulous coach. He explained the logic behind every movements to me. He corrected my not-so-perfect-form, taught me how to make weights for the meet. I cannot thank him enough for injecting confidence and more strength in me! read more

I have known Kevin and Travis for nearly 5 years and have been training with Kevin for around two years (I had to take a long break from training for quite a while due to an illness.) Both are tremendously experienced trainers, have great personalities and care. Kevin and I have been through a lot together and he has stood by me every step of the way. Whether it was thru my illness or while he helped me reach my goal of losing 50 lbs or getting my arm strength up for my next round of surgery. Not matter what the goal Kevin develops a plan to help you succeed. And, understands when and how hard he can push you or of he needs to back off for a while. This customization of your plan is key and he does not give you the same plan as his next client. And the results tell the story. I lost 50 lbs in 2 yrs...by getting healthy and with Kevin's guidance. In a month my arm strength increased from less than usable to being able to lift weights, groceries, and take that next step. And, now we are developing the next plan on my journey. I know Kevin will help me get there. I highly recommend Kevin and Bodies by Amorim. read more

I have never had such an enjoyable rehabilitation experience as I did training with Benny. Years of competitive martial arts and equestrian injuries have done a number on me, particularly with my hip and lower back, and after almost two years of inactivity, I wanted to do something about my persistent pain (and also, y'know, get buff). Benny was very knowledgeable and articulate about how my regimen would strengthen the muscles around my problematic areas, and I was relatively pain-free after just a few sessions (and prescribed workouts/stretches at home, which are very detailed). On top of everything, he has a really easygoing demeanor, a great sense of humor, and adjusts to your individual needs and goals. And, even though I have spent a lifetime in male-dominated sports and gyms, I'm still a 100 lb woman, and I understand how these experiences can be potentially off-putting for women -- but the gym is typically quiet during daytime, and Benny (and the other BBA folks) are welcoming and warm. I very much plan on training with Benny again, and could not recommend his expertise enough. read more

Benny is the best! I've had experience with personal trainers over many years and no one has matched Benny. No other trainers have ever taken my measurements, checked my weight and my body fat to start, Benny did!! No one has ever asked about my goals and what I considered to be a successful outcome in working with him, Benny did!! His knowledge, experience, energy and passion for what he does and how he works with his clients is 2nd to no one! Every workout is focused on the outcome of intended goals. He's excellent at helping you get the most out of your workout by focusing on more than just the routine, but your formation, so that you get the absolute best results. He had more faith in me than I had in myself, pushing me to go stronger, smarter, longer in every workout! Working with Benny I developed core strength, balance, great form and healthier eating habits (yes, he also provides nutritional tips). He's super cool, super nice, and just fun to be around - our convo's during that hour were priceless - the dude is wise beyond his years. I loved every minute with him! read more

I've been training with Alesha G. for about 9 months and she always brings energy to her PT sessions...even at 5:30a! For me, the struggle has been "real" with aches and pains popping up nearly every week. Alesha has helped me work through a number of different nagging, minor problems (all successfully) and whenever a [nagging, minor] problem arises that she's not sure about, she'll research it and help find a solution! When training with her, there have been plenty of times that I thought, "WTF did I get myself into?" but afterwards, I feel great for pushing myself and following through; she's always challenging me to push and perform the best that I can that day. Every workout is pretty intense and she's always trying to vary it up so that I don't get bored with the routine. My gym triumphs are her triumphs so she's totally invested in me reaching my goals. Alesha is highly motivating, extremely kind and her total "badassery" has no limit. Her passion for what she does is infectious and her workouts yield results. I cannot recommend her enough.

Bright, articulate, talented, Travis Amorim has guided my progress for many years. He has helped me immensely; he is totally dedicated to his clients--and I can't thank him enough for what he has done for me. Motivated by Travis, I attend the gym five day a week, working directly with him in personal training and on programs he has designed for me on my own. Over time and hard work I have made measurable gains in my overall physique--gains noted and supported by several friendships formed in this community. My trainer ensures that each exercise is done correctly; he is attentive to avoid discomfort and injury by making any needed adjustments. There is always variety in our workouts. His nutritional knowledge and recommendation of healthy supplements have helped my immune system. He has really motivated me to put out my best effort. I am grateful to be able to train with such a caring and well respected trainer, whose ready smile, sense of humor, competence, and generosity have helped so many. Father Kenneth Coleman read more

Where to start. First of all, if you're looking for a clean gym, THIS is the spot. I've been told the owner, Travis has OCD which means EVERYTHING is kept tidy and clean from the bathrooms to the workout floor. They have a clean shower for those who needs to get ready and plenty of parking space. Tons of new equipment and weights for those bodybuilders, powerlifters and anyone who simply want a great workout with awesome trainers! I've trained there a few times and the atmosphere is GREAT. The trainers are very encouraging with their clients. Travis, love how your energy uplifts your clients. From pushing them with the weights to just being there for them as you scream ONE MORE 5x. :) Stacy, your energy, so positive. You make me and your clients think they can do anything as long as we have you by our side. . Great job on opening BBA and making this such a great place to get your swole on. read more

I have been training with Travis for the past 10 years, initially at 24 hr fitness and now at BBA Gym. Travis and his team are the best in the bay area. He's one of the most selfless people I've ever met and he's been a great friend and role model ever since I first met him. He is extremely knowledgeable and has a fix/workaround for any injury or imbalance you might have. His work ethic is outstanding, he has a great sense of humor and always has a big smile on his face. He has extraordinary memory. I cannot remember my training routine from a few days ago, but Travis can remember exactly what was done during the previous session and he has a plan for the current session. The gym is always super clean and organized. With Travis help, If you are willing to put in the time and effort, there's no question about you accomplishing any goal you make for yourself. read more

I had the great fortune of meeting Travis 10 years ago, and made the wise choice to invest in his personal training program. Easily one of the best investments I have ever made! Travis has helped me reach whatever fitness goals I put in front of him, whether it be gaining size, strength, endurance, etc. He helped trim me up for my wedding and prepare me for my hockey seasons. Travis takes great pride in being the best in his field, and his level of knowledge is incredible. But what really sets Travis apart is his passion. He is always positive and energetic, no matter what! He gets just as excited for his clients' results as we do. I can say without hyperbole that we have become very close friends over the years. I cannot recommend Travis and BBA highly enough. If you want to make physical improvements and have fun doing it...give Travis a call TODAY! read more

I joined Rojin around 9 months ago and I can say its one of the best decisions I made. She is an amazing trainer to have who motivates you as well as builds your confidence. She incorporates different variety of exercises which makes the session fun and also push through your own limit at the same time. After every session I go home with a feeling of accomplishment and rejuvenated. She also makes sure to have a good understanding with me regarding my needs and limitations. She is overall a very hard working , skillful, well read ,educated trainer as well as an amazing person herself . I feel lucky enough to know her and get to train with her. I can totally see changes in my body and strength . All thanks to Rojin . The gym looks clean, its spacious , well lit and ventilated and has a very positive vibes around! Love the atmosphere there! read more

I've been training with Travis for almost 4 years and I can't say enough about him and the other trainers at Bodies by Amorim. He is extremely attentive to each individual's needs and health goals. For me, I'm all about going as heavy as possible and he has me lifting at a level I never could have imagined. He's super smart and really knows his stuff. And he's such a fun person to work out with. The gym is great - clean, lots of equipment, good parking and there are only just a few people there at any one time - so no competing to get onto machines or use the free weights. I highly recommend Travis and ther other trainers at Bodies by Amorim regardless of what your fitness goals are. I've met a number of his other clients over the years and he's got a dedicated following of people who can't say enough about him. read more

Benny is a great trainer. Super patient, super outgoing. I am probably the worst client ever lol, I was busy with work and would reschedule our workouts very often.. I didn't make it a priority as I should've. I love playing sports, hikes, and staying active , but working out gets boring to me and I needed a trainer, so I looked up some places and met up with Benny. I had a few sessions with Benny before I joined active duty Air Force. You can tell Benny is not there just to make money, he cares about his clients and wants you to meet your goals that's one quality that is rare nowadays.. genuity.. he made workouts fun like track practice In high school hehe. And I was sore for days. He also gave me meal suggestions as well. If you're looking for a trainer that cares. Check Benny out! You won't regret it! read more
