Earlier today I finished a 60-minute session with Kendal and I walked away better educated about neuromuscular reprogramming (NMR) and the benefits of helping 'dormant' muscles become an active contributor to your overall coordinated muscle movement. I've only had one session, but Kendal's approach did reflect what an NMR therapist ought to do given the research I did about NMR muscle testing. I've scheduled another session too. Overall, not a massage session, but I think NMR approach is the way to go to resolve a problem area that has always been a problem, but only recently (the last couple of years) has prompted me to find longer-lasting relief and increased mobility (i.e., ROM). Kendal is a great too!!! Explains what she is going to do and why and what I should feel in that particular area. Tips: Street parking only. You'll need to head to the back portion of the office building and head over to the elevator (opposite of the "Office" sign); you'll dial 219 on the touchpad by the elevator and Kendal will activate the elevator so you can take it to the second floor.

I played rugby and football at very competitive levels growing up, and needless to say my body felt really beat up all the time. When I first approached Nic, I told him about my knees, hips and back issues and how I haven't been able to do certain activities because of it. Nic formulated a plan for me and I am really beginning to see the impact of his guidance (hence I am writing this review). I see Nic 3 times a week and he is totally flexible with my work schedule. I feel more fit, eat healthier, think clearer, and sleep better at night because of Nic's help. He's an overall great guy and very passionate about improving people's health and fitness. I highly recommend Nic to anyone who wants to get more fit and live better.

His attention to form and posture has not only helped me continue to avoid injury but has also significantly improved my overall strength and physique.

With his help and personable approach to understanding my current body's limitations, we started working on getting my strength back in my lower back and knee. Eric is super knowledgable about fitness, working with injuries, and is full of great ideas for eating healthy. I found myself looking forward to our training sessions and then finishing them feeling like a million bucks!!! The workouts made me feel more confident, strong and happy in general. I cannot say enough good things about Eric's teaching and motivation style. He's been in the personal training business for awhile now and it shows. I highly recommend Eric Nelson's workouts!

Andrew is an amazing trainer and all around good person. He started me on a fitness journey that…read morequite literally transformed my life. Having him believe in my ability to accomplish my health and fitness goals at a time when my self-confidence was so low was instrumental. He got me out of my comfort zone and helped me rekindle the fire within me to go after my dreams, I have never looked back since. Not only have I transformed my body, I have transformed my life all around. I even mustered the courage to leave my job and start my own business, which is now thriving. Andrew is a professional through and through, he has the credentials, experience, intelligence, sensitivity and heart to help you get where you want. Without a doubt, I give Andrew my highest recommendation. Give it a try, you can't go wrong with him!

Blake gave a simple but thorough assessment in the beginning (on strength, stability and mobility). Since then he's varied the reps, intensity, and circuits to help me work on my strength and stability. Just a couple of months in and I'm able to balance on my left foot for up to 20s now (on good days) and am close to doing a pull-up unassisted!! Same with pushups. He has the unique talent of giving you that one specific tip or correction that transforms your form and makes what was previously impossible possible. He's professional and calm with a subtle sly sense of humor. Basically Blake is the best trainer I've ever had.

I started working with them both to rehab an SI joint strain that left my pelvis destablizilized. I saw them for a combined total of about 18 sessions learning exercises and pilates routines that gave me a solid foundation to continue healing and strengthening my body. In the end, I only quit working with them because I moved away from the area. If I still lived in Oakland, I'd be a regular to this day. They both have so much experience working with injured (and healthy) bodies that need strengthening and alignment. And, they're presence and kindness was so appreciated. I really appreciate what these two bring to the world.

Cypher has an awesome community with people that will support you through the workouts. The coaches are great about providing scaling options so you never need to worry about not being able to do the workout. Cypher also offers private and semi-private training sessions if you're looking for a more personalized experience that's catered to your needs. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone check Cypher out if they're looking for a CF gym in the area.

I first started my training with Chris Mags about 9 months ago. Working out at Cutz has always been…read moresomething I wanted to do as I always see them being tagged on body builder and athletes social media profiles. I was finally able to do so and can't express how happy I am that I finally did. Before working out with Chris I was fairly athletic and went to the gym about 5 to 6 days a week. I used all the apps and went off of what people posted online. I was just never really able to get my body to where I wanted. Thats where I am happy I finally met Chris as he pushes me every workout to get closer and closer to my goal body. Due to his training I was finally able to reach a goal that I had always set for myself but could never accomplish. He helped me get there with such ease, that, I was finally able to question myself, and wonder how far I can push myself and how much more I can grow with his help. In the darkest times during COVID Chris helped not only push me in accomplishing goals, but also be there as a friend to help me through mental and emotional stress I struggled with. He became not only my trainer but also my psychiatrist and a great friend. Being gay I was very nervous going to a gym that is known for body building, but quickly I realized that the environment is extremely friendly and a no judgement zone. Everyone helps to motivate each other and not just be friends at the gym but outside the gym as well. Chris goes the extra mile to create friendships between clients that extend outside the gym. The friendships with his other clients and him helps make the obstacles in achieving fitness goals easier. Whether its from pushing yourself for the last rep, or helping in eating the right things, Chris and friends at Cutz help you get there. Not just so you can physically look how you want but, to help you get to a better wellbeing. I have personally gained about 25lbs in muscle all thanks to Chris's help. I would recommend Chris's program to anyone that truly wants to change their life and reach goals they have trouble achieving on their own. The hardest part of the journey is taking the first step, going in. After that it becomes a whole lot easier, because you have Chris as your trainer, therapist, motivational coach, and most importantly, as your friend, to stand with you and help you the rest of the way. PS. Always bring your own pre-workout. ( Feel free to ask about what this means on your first day xD )

I was in my most unhealthy state, physically and mentally, and haven't stepped into the gym in…read moreseveral years. I was 172 lbs at 5'5. I woke up tired and sluggish, miserable every day. I knew I had to take action to get myself to a place where I didn't feel awful anymore, so I stepped into Cutz Training Facility. I was scared my first session, not knowing what I was getting into and did not think I would last through the entire one-hour workout. I pushed and got through it, moving my body in ways I didn't even think was possible. The trainers and members of the gym were so motivating and patient with me. I immediately felt like I was part of a family. I came back and kept at it for a week. I took a chance and officially joined the six week transformation program. I can honestly say that it was truly life-changing... I was skeptical at first and didn't think I'd lose any weight, especially given my love for food. I initially wanted to drop 5 lbs and improve my mental health. Six weeks later, I dropped 13 lbs, averaging a drop of 2 to 3 lbs a week! I'm beyond my six weeks and I am still dropping weight at the same rate --on my own from everything I learned through the program! The crazy thing is, there was NO MEAL PLAN. I was still able to continue my current lifestyle and eat the foods I loved. The trade-off I had to make was to eat in moderation and incorporate more protein and vegetables, which was easier to accomplish than I thought. I am so incredibly grateful for the experience I gained from Arman and all the trainers at the gym - Jose, Richelle, Karina, Chris, Erica. Everyone is truly wonderful to work with, genuinely cares about your well-being, and pushes you hard to achieve your desired results. Cutz has all my love! The program has not only improved my overall health, but has also inspired me to focus and prioritize what matters most to me in my personal life and my career.
