As a lady with lifting goals, she's really supportive about me using heavier weights and always encourages me to push myself. We talk a lot about food during our sessions, and her knowledge of a plant-based diet has helped me be a better home cook! I'm proud to say that I'm more conscious of my meat and dairy intake, and it's made a big difference in how I feel day to day.

Since I started doing virtual…read moreworkouts and nutrition work with her, I've felt much more energetic and have started forming lasting healthy habits. I'm in the best shape I have ever been in, all thanks to Maggie! I was at first nervous about how effective personal training would be in a virtual setting but Maggie gives me great points on my posture all the time and we haven't run into any issues for being virtual. Rather I've appreciated doing workouts in the comfort of my home without needing to go anywhere. I would highly recommend working with Maggie for your health and fitness

I began my fitness journey with Arina in July 2022 after a major surgery and from the very start,…read moreshe provided me with immense support and direction during my recovery. She even consulted with my medical team to make sure I was doing the proper rehabilitation, while also helping me build back my strength. I always felt secure in my training with her. Training twice weekly with Arina has been an absolute joy, as she not only knows the ins and outs of fitness but also got to know me personally and my fitness aspirations to tailor my program. I am proud to say that I have seen a tremendous improvement in my physical fitness and confidence since I started working with Arina.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Arina. She has made such a positive impact on my…read morefitness journey. I started working with her a little over a year ago after a few-year hiatus from much activity/working out and was a little nervous to get back into it. She is so understanding and patient with her clients and I always feel completely safe but still challenged in my workouts with her. Personal training is an investment but has been completely worth it for me!

Ashley is amazing. I worked with her throughout my pregnancy over 6 years ago and then we…read morereconnected a year ago and she returned at a much needed time in my life. She is so knowledgeable and works WITH you to develop a plan that fits your needs and lifestyle all while checking in daily. I'm a busy working Mom in my 40's and she really helped me to prioritize my health and fitness so I can be my best self both for me and for my family. I hadn't done that for a long time and it's probably the best GIFT that anyone has given me. I'm eating better, I'm stronger, and just happier with myself. I'm truly grateful to her for her support and friendship.

I signed up with Ashley because I saw a review that said 'If you want someone to sweetly kick your…read moreass, sign up with Ashley!' so I immediately emailed her. However, she has never once kicked my ass - sweetly or otherwise. Instead she's used her expertise to keep me informed AND accountable. She always meets me where I am. If I'm struggling, she focuses on how to support me. If I'm hungry for information, she feeds me rationale and data. And she always brings me back to my goals. As a nurse, I thought I knew a lot about health and wellness. But my time with Ashley has shown me that there's still so much I don't know - which is why I was spinning my wheels without seeing results for so long. As a newer mom, I was so frustrated at not having enough time or energy to get organized and work on my own fitness goals. I love my old clothes and wanted so badly to wear them again! Ashley coaches me to see what SMALL, SUSTAINABLE changes can have a big, lasting impact. In 8 weeks of working together I'm wearing pants I thought were forever in the past. And although I haven't joined a gym or starting running etc., my awareness of my daily movement and food choices is at an all time high. It has made all the difference. My only regret is not looking for her sooner.

Honestly, I just feel so much BETTER! Natalie has a unique gift for making workouts both fun and challenging. Over the past year I've dealt with a few injuries and health setbacks, and she's always adapted our workouts so I could keep moving forward safely. She knows exactly how to push me while keeping each session fresh and motivating. What I value most is her philosophy: fitness rooted in body-positivity, self-worth, and meeting you exactly where you are. She creates a welcoming, supportive space that helps you discover strength you didn't know you had. I can't recommend Natalie highly enough.

Kelly made me feel so comfortable from the beginning. She listens to my concerns and pays very close attention to my body when training me. Often times we pause shortly in the middle of the session for her to release muscle pain so I can properly lift weights. She not only understands the importance of body movement but how our emotions and spirit play a huge role in our well being. I can't imagine ever working with another trainer. Highly recommend her.

Marci is hands down the best. She worked with me years ago to get me in shape for my wedding and I…read morewas in the best shape of my life. Unfortunately, with kids and a career, I fell off the wagon and stopped exercising regularly for a number of years. I developed chronic back pain that got so bad that even a small simple movement could trigger sudden pain. I also had a permanent crick in my neck and reduced mobility when I would try to turn my neck to the left side. I reconnected with Marci last year who tailored workouts that would increase strength and flexibility in my back. The thing I really like about Marci's workouts are that they are short and doable - I don't have to try and motivate myself to do a grinding one hour workout. But if I do Marci's workouts 4 times a week, I really see results in how I look and in my strength. Marci offers live group workouts, recorded sessions and one on one Zoom training. I do one personal session a week and then live or recorded sessions several other times, depending on my schedule. My back was so bad last summer; today,I have no pain. I don't event think my back any more and can do all the things I used to. I would highly recommend Marci to anyone with back pain (I am in my fifties) or who is looking for a doable, short routine that will get you toned.

I started Marci's "21-Day Freedom From Sugar" program 3 months ago. I was skeptical I could be…read morefree from my sugar cravings, and didn't think I would get enough to eat if I omitted starch from my meals. I loved the idea of living in freedom from my cravings, which to me had a spiritual component as well as a practical one. I went along, because Marci not only has impeccable training and experience, but she has a wisdom that comes from living through whatever she prescribes. It is three months later. I never went back to my previous ways of eating. I don't miss it. Now and then (like today!) I had a burger with fries, it is a special occasion. I have the occasional cupcake, or glass of rosé, but my body feels so amazing and I don't want or need to go back. I don't "diet," I don't miss any of these foods, and I don't need a scale to show me I have lost inches. I also work out with Marci once a week, and we have regular coaching sessions. I can tell you I have never felt healthier, and it is absolutely effortless. Marci believes in moderation in all things, even moderation, so I have an ounce of dark chocolate every day - Marci recommended the chocolate - and this once sugar-addicted sweet-toothed lady is happily living my life much healthier, fitter, and NO DIETING. Go Marci! Run don't walk, hire her now!

I highly recommend Joan Glick, owner and trainer of Fit for the Ages. Here's why:…read more In May of 2013 I met a woman (maybe in her late 50s early 60s?) who had been seeing Joan for a few months. She said that her outlook on what she was physically capable of had changed, and she had a whole new level of optimism about what she could do. She gave me Joan's information, so I did a bit of research and made my first appointment. What I was *not* looking for was a young, studly trainer guy (or girl). I also wanted to work with someone who had seen all sorts of body types of all ages, and who was more about wisdom, patience and a positive attitude. I was self-conscious about my gelatinous body. I'm in my 40s and had never imagined I'd get as giggly as I had. I've also had issues with my back since my early 20s, and did not want someone telling me to "work through the pain." Pain is not on my agenda. I also like the positive, encouraging and happy approach to training - yelling doesn't inspire me. Joan doesn't yell - she's more like a calm, upbeat cheerleader. In the past 7 months working with Joan twice a week, I have gained a perkier butt, firmer biceps and triceps, and best of all, a much stronger core. I can sit up from a horizontal position without any 'ug' as I used to do. I'd interviewed another trainer a while back, and while I knew with him that I'd have seen results very quickly, I was not ready for the level of involvement he would have had in my life. He wanted me to keep food journals and email them to him daily. He wanted me to work with him three times a week and do additional workouts without him totaling at *least* 5 workouts a week. He was also $15 more per session. I have a budget, and I have other things I want to do in my life, so this style wouldn't work for me. When I mentioned my weight to Joan, she said, "You're in charge of the fat, I'm in charge of the muscle." That's only fair. She cannot control what I eat or drink - only I can. I am the same weight I was 7 months ago, but things have been repositioned on my body. My stomach is much smaller, my waist more defined...anyway, I'm very happy. I still need to lose weight, but that's on me. Finally, to get an idea of the surroundings - Joan has a studio in North Beach (I drive from Marin to see her now). It's one room on the ground floor, with mirrors on opposing walls, a work-out bench, various hand weights, resistance bands, a couple short ballet bars, a Bosu, exercise balls of various sizes...but there are no machines. I am amazed - totally amazed - that even after 7 months she still gives me something new to do every single visit - not the whole workout - but she changes things up all the time.

What truly sets Nicki apart is her incredible balance she strikes between effective, mindful training and genuine fun. Our sessions never feel like a chore but instead like you're working out with a supportive friend who just happens to know exactly how to push you to your limits. Her uplifting & positive energy is infectious, making even the toughest exercises feel enjoyable. I have a chronic back issue so finding a trainer who truly understands and caters to my specific needs was critical. She customizes every workout to my goals and to my body's current state. Her attention to form and injury prevention has been so helpful, allowing me to build strength and confidence and feel proud in each session. Nicki has also demystified the often-intimidating world of gym equipment. She's taken the time to help me understand how to use all the machines and weights, giving me the confidence to walk into any gym and feel completely comfortable. This has been a game-changer outside of our sessions. Nicki is a genuine champion for your overall well-being. If you're looking for someone who is deeply knowledgeable, incredibly supportive, and will push you to achieve your goals, Nicki's your girl.
