That's because Rachel is patient and always positive - demonstrating how to do the exercises and what to watch out for (in terms of common mistakes). Even when I think I'm a disaster, she is giving me positive feedback. If only my parents treated me that way while growing up, I might have done more with my life. Whether it's gaining strength, working on weak areas, recovery, or just sharing fun life stories - Rachel has your back! (And your butt...and abs...and arms...and all the things that will be sore after you see her).

I worked with Rachel for three years and have been in the best shape of my life. She constantly…read morepushed my limits and pushed me to do things I never thought I could do. I'm also quite injury prone and she was always eager to adapt our workouts to build up supporting muscles or avoid whole muscle groups entirely. On a personal note, I always looked forward to our time together and think of Rachel as a friend. I can't recommend her highly enough!

I've been working with Yolanda since the start of 2021 and the change is def visible…read more My main goal is to lose some fat and gain more muscles. Yolanda helps me a lot to achieve those goals. She's super nice to work with - very communicative, as flexible as she can and she's super responsible for every client.

I'll continue to work with such responsible and nice trainer and would recommend her to anyone who'd like to start training!

I started with a juice cleanse…read more I thought, if I can't do a juice cleanse, I'm never going to lose weight. It was my way to prove to myself that I was ready to make a change. Leslie brought over 5 juices each day. And I have to say: the first day was easy; the second day was horrible. On the third day, I woke up an hour earlier than I usually do, without an alarm, feeling fully rested. Woah! I had no choice. I knew I could do it, and I began training with Leslie the next week. I was ready to make a change, and her excitement and ambition towards good health made her the perfect person to lead me into my new habits. I could really get behind her idea that it's more about moving towards a healthier lifestyle than losing the pounds in the next week (only to be gained back the week after). I wanted to be healthy. I already knew that. And I was ready to make that change. Twice a week, we meet at Kezar Stadium among all the running champions, where I finally got some proper use out of my yoga pants, which were so used to couch lounging and Netflix marathons. Leslie definitely pushed me on times where I didn't think I was capable of running that extra stretch, doing another set with weights. Even stretching, who knew that I was going so easy on myself with something like stretching. This is a big city; there's a lot of trainers out there. But Leslie made sure to pay close attention to my needs. "How are you doing?" "How are you feeling?" "Which muscles are sore?" Leslie checks in before my workout, during my workout, after my workout. It keeps the workout personal, which is most important to me because I am easily discouraged. We had a tough workout last week, and I got a text the next day from Leslie: "you killed it last night!" Who wouldn't want to work out with someone like that!? I already feel stronger. That's become the most important part to me. I only foresee good things from here. I really appreciate all Leslie's done for me. She truly is the reason I stuck with this.

I'm naturally in reasonably good shape due to good genetics, but work has me so busy that I have…read morebeen getting too wrapped up in it, and not scheduling time for fitness. Along comes Angela, an incredible source of motivation, knowledge and energy. I knew all I needed was someone there to motivate and encourage me enough to get past the first few weeks, and that she did, with ease! But even more than that, she's teaching me proper breathing methods, posture and lifting techniques, things I never would've learned or focused on otherwise. She's also having me log my meals in an app so we can track my diet to ensure I reach my goals. Lastly, she even offers live virtual online training sessions, which are super useful due to my busy schedule. I have a gym membership and P90x dvds, so it's not like I don't have access to fitness avenues. I was skeptical to spend money on a trainer, but my goodness, starting with Angela was the best decision I made last year! If you want an personal trainer that will push you to reach goals and get results, look no further, she's LEGIT!

Her nutritional guidance is also helping me shred some of the weight I put on while recovering.

I decided to see Jess because I felt I could feel myself getting into a rut. Jessica provided that extra push I needed - my fitness levels have gone up as a result of her training. Jess' training approach combines encouragement and humor with tough love. She's not a yeller, which I appreciate. Additionally, I have some hyper mobile SI Joint issues, and Jess is very thoughtful and works with me to make sure we are doing proper stabilization and not putting extra stress on that joint. I love working with Jess - I never thought I would be with her two years later, but here I am! Cannot recommend her enough.

I've met with Fiona at the Redwood City location. She is wonderful…read more She takes her time to understand your needs, your limitations and your goals. She provides you with printouts of the exercises that you work on together so you can also do them at home. She warm, friendly and has a great sense of humor. I think anyone who is looking for a trainer would be very happy working with Fiona. I am 55 years old, had cancer and have arthritis and I am able to exercise. Her rates are also reasonable.

I've been working with Fiona since March and she is FANTASTIC! I've never worked with a trainer…read morebefore and was hesitant (because I'm really not a big exerciser) but Fiona makes it fun and doable. She listens to what I like/dislike, can do/can't do and tailors my workout to my strengths and weaknesses. She helped me prepare for a fabulous vacation (I was on a walking tour and wanted to increase my stamina and endurance) and all my goals were met. Now we've set new goals and I'm 100% certain that I'll meet them with Fiona's help. For anyone who hasn't ever worked with a trainer before, I can highly recommend Fiona. She's bright, funny, and just tough enough to get you a good workout, but not overbearing so that you hate your trainer :-)

She is an excellent personal trainer. I have chronic back problems and she has always managed to work within the realm of exercises I can do safely while at the same time strengthening my back. She combines strength training with balance training and core strength training. She has given me exercises I can do at home (with a ball, elastic band, roller, etc.) and I also worked out with her while I was pregnant. Thanks to her and my chiropractic care, I managed to go through the entire pregnancy without a single back issue! Nancy listens to you and your body to create a workout customized specific to your needs.
