I stopped when I started traveling, and when I came back to California in May 2020 I was resistant to doing the virtual training. Not any longer. I love it. A thousand times better than recorded classes on line. I have a few different health issues and she is great at telling clients how to modify various exercises to meet any limitations.

Staci is great! I've taken her online workouts for a couple years now. She's very knowledgeable…read moreabout the biomechanics of the workout exercises, and is great about adapting for each individual's needs. She coaches alternatives for those that need to adjust for injuries and for those who want/need more challenge. Workouts are a great mixture of predictability and variation. She makes sure we work appropriate muscle groups. I also like that she switches up formats and timing, including days with tabata or circuit training. Schedules are set to make it easy to find a good time, for both west and east coast members. If I miss a morning, I can catch the same workout later. When Staci has conflicts (not often) she has excellent substitute instructors. I've loved Staci's program because it keeps me motivated to start each day with a workout, and I feel stronger and fitter as a result.

He has been so patient with my whining, so flexible with scheduling, and just so fun to work with that the hour sessions go by so fast. He is 100% worth every single penny (and so many more pennies, actually). Walter cares very deeply about his clients. He is very responsive to any questions and is always reachable. He is the kind of trainer who wouldn't shout at you or push you to the extremes, but you would do the work because you want him to be proud. He is motivating in kind ways, and is there to adjust and support you with your own individual physical journey. I am so sad he's leaving SoCal, but if you are in NorCal, you are in luck. Definitely book him ASAP; trainers like him are very hard to find!

I've been a client of Nathan of Big Picture Vitality for several sessions. I find his approach extremely unique and FAR more customized to the individual, whereas most trainers tend to give you the basic information I can search out online in an afternoon... To further dig into this, on my assessment he pointed posture problems, where I thought I had excellent posture. He explained how this would effect me long term in a way that was very understandable. He backs his knowledge with a lot of knowledge and research, and I feel safe with his opinion. And the best part, I don't even have to leave my home!

During our time together, so far, he has given me many tools to becoming more healthy in a whole body sense as well as shown me how to get the body I want. I feel more energetic and sexy than I have in a long time. Thank you so much, Nate! I look forward to continuing our work.

Thank you for responding. I want to clarify a key factual point in your reply…read more The employee involved in my session was Sean Locher, not "Jake." I apologize for the name error in my original review; however, the experience and resulting injury remain unchanged. I have medical documentation from my doctor and am currently undergoing physical therapy as a result of that session. Regarding the administrative issue, while you state the messages were automated, the fact remains that I received multiple appointment confirmations for sessions I did not book, addressed to a different name. Regardless of how the error occurred, this reflects a lack of proper oversight and added to an already distressing experience. As for the unused sessions, my request has always been limited and reasonable: a $129 refund for two services I did not use, not for the session in question. Offering to "gift" sessions does not resolve the issue, particularly when safety is a concern and I am not comfortable transferring services that could potentially cause harm to others. My intent in leaving this review is not to argue policy, but to accurately share my experience so others can make informed decisions. The ongoing physical impact and time spent in medical care are real and documented, and I stand by the substance of my review.

So I am greeted by the head desk attendant, an attractive man that explained to me the basics of what I needed to do which was change into my socks and out of my vibram toe shoes that are good for your back. But kind of spoiled now that I've experienced them. Lol Then Amber came and got me and took me back to the table and I sat down and talked to her for a bit! All relevant questions and easy to answer I'm always working towards fitness!! And then I lied face up and Amber stretched me out which was good to great. She says I will feel better for several days to over a week!! And then she explained what she was going to stretch on me and how she was going to do it and then she would push my legs and got my upper body on a few arms crossed in front of me and then!! What happened?!!? I tell you what happened to me Lol, but she reached over top of me and pulled me back and that was a good feel good stretch!! And then she said do boxing hands which I know and had my arms in front of my face and then she grabbed my arms and legs and sat me up and it was GREAT !! I mean to tell you that I loved it being manhandled by anyone is exciting af! So now you got me Lol!! But then she said take a breathe and walk around the facility which was cool and newish styled! Then we sat down and discussed the experience and she explained a discount to get because it was there anniversary so wow that means they've been there a year!! Great work they're doing here! And right now I went in on a free half an hour but it goes longer so give yourself an hour and wear comfy clothes and socks!!

I rarely have to wait to use machines. Gym never crowded when I have visited. Staff very friendly. This is the fourth Gym I've joined in the area. I gave it a 5 star rating for a reason. Re bad reviews here, perhaps the Gym used to be in bad shape? Well, it's great now. I absolutely love it!

It's a reasonably clean place. I spend almost 70-80 mins 5 days a week depending upon my workout regime for the day. Staff including the interns are pleasant to interact with.

Yes these are trainers, BUT they make working out a competition between everyone in the class, they make you GO FAST which is NOT how someone should work out unless you want to get hurt. In the class I noticed a lot of people have very POOR form, rounded back, lifting too heavy for themselves, not taking their time to really get good form in. I've heard other people in class say they were sore for 5 days, that's not good. You are pushing people too hard that are just getting in and they will hurt themselves! The first class a trainer will typically evaluate you, ask you if you have any injuries , and weakness, and pain, none of this was done my first day which would make it very easy for someone to hurt themselves. Not to mention there's no stretching before or after? I don't trust these guys, for the amount your paying. (175$ monthly) they should really be focusing on being a trainer and the form of people paying them. You sign a full disclosure if you hurt urself it's not their fault.... if you're paying this much.. I would recommend getting a trainer from a gym. No one in this class is super fit besides the trainers and that should tell you something ...

She checks on me after challenging sessions to prepare the next program accordingly, she knows so many different exercises/circuits that my program constantly incorporates new ones as we progress. I've never been very sporty, so training with her has also given me new confidence in my body and myself overall. I have no doubt that training with Annie has changed my future.
