Daniel Cunha is an excellent trainer. He accesses the full body and personalizes a program that is…read moreeffective and efficient, while keeping it exciting and empowering for the mind and spirit. I came to Daniel unmotivated and in a state of lethargy - immediately he gave me a boost of confidence that came with a workout and diet plan: short term and long term. He emphasizes the "LIFE STYLE CHANGE" and teaches how to reprogram our choices and eliminate those bad habits with replacing them with healthy substitutions. In the gym, we focus on full body strengthening with a concentration on the core - and for my trouble zone, hips and gluts! Followed by an amazing lesson on stretching those computer muscles using a form roller. Daniel will switch it up and bring the next session out on the beautiful Marina Greens and teach how to utilize the public Outdoor Fitness Court!!! - Body weight exercises: pull-ups, push-ups, dips, rows, trx and finish off the last 10 mins (right when you think you can't do it anymore) with an energizing kick boxing session. In the kitchen -- yes! he will not neglect this important step -- he will raid your frig and pantry and show you what combos of veggies and protein that are delicious and nutritious. He's great in NOT making one feel ashamed for the non-food items that are there, but gave me the motivation to make those choices on my own.

Shane Robert is a phenomenal personal trainer, arguably one of the best personal trainers in San…read moreFrancisco. (I was a collegiate athlete and have been exposed to many personal trainers throughout my lifetime so I have a good idea of what to expect when it comes to working with a personal trainer). I've been training with Shane for years: through pregnancy, to lose the baby weight, when I was completely out of shape, after I injured myself, and everything in between. At each stage he met me where I was and helped me get back on track. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the body, up to date fitness research findings, diets, health conditions, you name it. I've always felt supported during my workouts and most importantly, I knew he would keep me safe and direct my form in such a way as to avoid injuries and maximize muscle gain. Shane is an integral part of the Sunset Gym, and has a community oriented approach to life. He's down to earth, accessible, reasonably priced, and I get the sense that he genuinely cares about the progress I make on my health journey. Shane is not the soul cycle instructor-type, he isn't going to get in your face and scream at you or offer inspirational platitudes throughout your workout, which makes it all the more rewarding when he says in a monotone voice at the end of the session "great work, you did a good job." :) Anyways, I can't recommend him enough. Many of his clients have been with him for years which speaks volumes about ability to deliver! Thanks Shane

I was very fortunate to train with Shane this week. He is really great at what he does. He has a…read morewide body of knowledge of his subject matter and an even deeper enthusiasm for it. He just really seems to have such respect for the natural architecture that is the human body and how it functions and he related all of this so well, with simple pictures and ideas that are easily remembered. He is a born teacher - I was really impressed with his communication style. Rather than overwhelm you with facts and figures, he knows how to gets his points across in a way that is clear, concise, focused and very inspiring. I'm not someone who is very knowledgable about fitness and I can easily become discouraged by too many details. But Shane seemed to instinctively understand that and thus approached things more philosophically and holistically, breaking everything down to the simple fact that if you regularly use certain body parts, they'll be with you for life. Then he showed me which parts those are and how that's done and how one good deed to your body affects another. It was as simple and non-confusing as that. At the end of my hour-long session, rather than coming away with just the few scattered tips I'd hoped to get on how to lose a little weight, I felt like I was instead armed for a lifetime with a whole new way of focusing that linked all the parts into one big picture. Now I am really looking forward to applying all of this knowledge. You'll be in great hands with Shane - I could not recommend him more highly. So, thank you, Shane. I'm grateful for your help!

I'm totally writing this review based on one trial session I had with Kevin, but it still elicits five stars. The way that Kevin walked through the training methods showed how much knowledge and passion he has for his clients and this industry. He explained the purpose behind every movement and exercise, simultaneously ensuring that I felt comfortable and safe on the machines. The gym itself is very well-kept and provides and intimate environment to grow. Even after one session, I was totally sore for a week (not that it's an indication of strength-building) but I felt good about my future progress. I want to continue coming back on a regular basis when I have the appropriate funds to do so. If you are interested in giving it a try, go for a trial session. It's efficient and rewarding.

I trained with Jon for 3-years and can't recommend him enough to people who want to transform their…read morebodies and minds. I came to Jon with the goal of dropping pandemic weight and to build muscle mass. I knew Jon was different from other trainers from our very 1st session because he was able to evaluate my body composition and redirect me to a more immediate goal of building flexibility and correcting my posture by rebuilding a solid foundation for proper form starting with my back. This required a much different approach to training than I was used to and it challenged me. We worked with my body weight, resistance bands and very light dumbbells for most of the 1st year. There were times I was frustrated that we weren't lifting heavy but Jon did a great job of keeping me focused on the foundational goal we had set and backing it up with science and his own personal experience. I'm so glad Jon held me accountable that first year, because after the foundation was set, I saw my body transform in ways I never thought would be possible. If you are looking to experience a new relationship with your body and want an incredibly knowledgeable, kind and fun trainer to guide you through the process, reach out to Jon and let him know you're ready to change your life.

Ross created a program that was designed to build strength and prevent injury during preseason. I am a disciplined person but I needed proper guidance on how to structure my workouts and lift like an athlete. He provided exactly that. I have gained muscle in all regions of my body especially my legs. My hamstring feel solid as ever and I feel the strength and power on the field. I highly recommend him if you are looking for guidance on your fitness journey. He is also a great guy and makes himself available to help if you have questions about your workouts/a specific lift. Worth every penny. I'll be revisiting him for my next preseason!

Sergio is quite simply the best trainer and best partner in fitness you could hope for. He is…read morevastly knowledgeable, calm, kind, and totally directed. He always makes you feel like you CAN do it - whatever "it" might be - and clearly expects you to just get in there and get it done. And though I sometimes have to dig way deep, there's always so much satisfaction in discovering that Sergio is right, again. For his birthday a year ago, I presented my husband with a package of sessions with Sergio at Body Matrix. My husband is a pretty hardcore cyclist and, I thought, already in great shape. But I figured he's always up for an athletic challenge and weight training would be something new. What I didn't expect was that my birthday present to my husband would be a gift to me. By the end of a summer with Sergio, my husband looked amazing. This winter I started working Sergio myself, hoping for a little of that transformative magic. I got that, and more. I'm a forty-five-year old mother of two, in pretty good shape generally. I run, ride, swim, climb, do yoga, blah blah blah. But I had never lifted a single weight in all my athletic days. In just a few short months of working with Sergio I've had amazing, hard data, results: from beating my "best possible hoped for" Wildflower triathlon time by over ten minutes, to finally losing that stubborn last five pounds, to dropping several body-fat percentages. In case you are not aware, middle-aged women very rarely have this experience, regardless of how much they pound it out at the gym or on the road. Last but not least (& in no way "hard data," but more than good enough for me): my husband thinks I look great. I often see other trainers, both men and women, working with clients at Body Matrix and they seem to be giving their clients great service as well. I see the same folks there, week after week, looking better and stronger all the time. I only have one regret regarding my experience at Body Matrix: I so wish that I'd found Sergio sooner.
