Didn't expect to write an update so soon, but Micah's training is so good that he deserves another…read moreshout-out. I finally did my first pull up, (though assisted, but I'll take the small win). Micah really changed the routine and helped me get over the mental blocks. My lats and triceps are definitely sore, but it's a good ache--it means I did something right! Micah, thanks for changing the exercises! It really helped me realize I'm stronger than I thought.

He listens closely and always helps me improve my technique with thoughtful guidance. Hollis has a keen eye and consistently helps me make small adjustments that lead to real improvement over time. I never feel rushed or overlooked; instead, I feel supported and motivated to keep progressing--very happy with Method Fitness!

0 stars if Yelp allowed it…read more I replied to a confirmation email from Energeia because I was confused about the meet-up time for my free outdoor boot camp class. Jen wrote back to me displaying incredibly unprofessional customer service. I'm not going to play the "Customer is always right" card because I'll admit my emails could stand to be a bit nicer. However, as a business owner who I assume is trying to gain more customers, Jen completely failed in addressing my concerns and questions. She not only failed to answer my initial question on whether I needed to sign up for a monthly membership account and enter my card information, she also proceeded to repeatedly state that the process is "simple" and patronized me for not being able to figure it out. Even if the registration flow was in fact simple or if I'm just overlooking a step in the process, a brief clarification without condescending tones would've been a sufficient response, especially coming from the Founder and Head Trainer of the business. This is definitely one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered. A career in fitness typically involves encouraging and helping others succeed. And yet, based on my first conversation with Jen, she seems to show more skill in customer blaming than anything else.

I wanted to start getting back in shape and happened to find Energeia through a livingsocial deal…read more I am so glad I found this boot camp because Jen and Lisa are amazing! I didn't know what to expect and after the first class, I was sore for three days. Classes are relatively small and feel very personal. No matter what level of fitness you are, anyone can join the class. I love the fact that each class is different so it doesn't feels redundant and it is challenging. I feel very accomplished after each boot camp and looking forward to it every time. I can't recommend this bootcamp enough and hope to continue. If you're thinking which boot camp to join, don't hesitate and try Energeia! Thanks Jen and Lisa! :-)

Loved getting a workout in while traveling. This place is right off the main road (Bascom Ave), but…read morefear not as there is a parking garage attached. Perfect to exit out and be two doors down from the entrance. The location is clean and bright. Lobby includes a front desk and some benches for members and guests. There is also a wall of cubbies and as you walk around the corner there is a wall of lockers plus two restrooms and two showers. The studio itself is a good size with 13 stations. The floor stations wrap around in an L-shape and the rowers are directly behind the treads. They also have 2 bikes and a strider. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed taking class with Coach Sean. I'd definitely go back to this studio when traveling.

I've been an OT member for about 4 years now, I started out at the Los Gatos location but now I…read moreusually go to the Campbell location on Bascom. Both are very nice, they are bigger than some of the other OT gyms (Cupertino for example). Front Desk - Everyone is very friendly and nice, they seem to quickly remember people's names. Instructors - I typically go during the day so Sean and Shannon are my favorite instructors, but all of them are good. Workouts - I often go to the UpperBody strength workouts but I also enjoy the regular OT classes where you do some weight training/TRX, rowing, and treadmill. I've had knee issues so you can also ride the stationary bike instead of treadmill if preferred. Bathrooms - very clean They have cubbies and lockers to hold your purses/backpacks and coats etc. I highly recommend OT, they can make adaptations to the workout if for example, you can't do step-ups on to the weight bench, etc. Parking - you park in the apartment building garage, I only had an issue getting parking there once.

It has been one of the best decisions of my life and I love feeling strong and fit again. I wish I would've started sooner. The facility is clean and well laid out to support a variety of classes as well as personal training.

Note: this review is specifically for the Los Gatos camp…read more I wanted to love this bootcamp; I really did. The location is so incredibly convenient - right in front of the Los Gatos Civic Center! For me, it doesn't get much better than that. However, it's just not a good value for the money. The Los Gatos camp meets only 3x/week (M/W/F) for 45 min/session. The 45 minute session includes a good 10 minutes of warm-up and cool-down. At least 50% of the time, I had barely broken a sweat by the time we disbanded. At a regular (non-discounted) price of $250/month, I just wasn't getting enough return on my investment. The instructors are really nice, though.

If you ever told me I would be writing a good review about ANYTHING that involved me doing push ups…read moreI would suggest you might have been smoking crack. That's how awesome Be Fit is - I have to give five stars to a company that has inserted the phrase 'cardio break' in my life. Why? Shall I count the ways? The teachers rock: I cannot say enough good things about Mike, Jeff and Matt. They remember everyone's name, they're have no problem laughing at themselves and they're encouraging without being terrifying. This is a super-supportive, push-your-limits thing. Not a 'let's see who vomits first' type affair. Plenty of dates and times: Sometimes I want to get up at 6 and get it over with. Other times I want to wait until after work. I have all of these options and it's held all over San Jose and Los Gatos so you're flexible. The workouts: it pains The Old Finn to say this but the workouts are (gasp...) fun. And they change it up constantly. You can do just about anything for two minutes and they know that. And they do keep it different. We were chucking pumpkins at each other on Halloween and Matt has us rugby drills. My butt: after a couple of months of Be Fit, I have an enviable butt. It's perky. It's happy. It's not sitting on my thighs. When I first started going I couldn't run the football field. Now I own that b*tch. Twice. With a jump rope. It's all levels: I'm an an asthmatic cancer survivor with a tricky shoulder and cranky knees. The teachers are awesome about modifying things for everyone's level if you ask. Just ask. Run your own damn race and don't worry about what everyone else is doing - as a whole, the group is super supportive and even if you're doing something different or less challenging than everyone else, no one is thinking less of you. If you're looking for a fun, outdoor workout, you got to try this. Even if, like me, you're not a fitness person and might have a case of Pancake Butt you need to work on.

I signed up just about the same time I enrolled in an ambitious Kilimanjaro expedition for which I…read morewas terribly under prepared. With only 3 months to prepare, Sheila made me work it. Not only did the well-designed, boredom-proof workouts make me strong enough to carry significant backpack weight for long periods of time, the training from all the box-jumps, push-ups, squats & much more came in handy on the steep, treacherous slopes. More over, it was important that I protect my injured feet [heel spurs, achilles tendonitis] from over-training and Sheila was consistently vigilant of what I should or shouldn't do. Before signing up, I tried out every other Yelpable bootcamp within 5 miles of Campbell and hands down this was the winner [disclaimer: the timing options, class size suited me better] The music, atmosphere is nice too- everyone is friendly & cheerful. Plus there is an adorable golden retriever that's always chilling near the building. Woof.

Although I am a former athlete, having 2 kids in the past 3 years really left me out of shape. I…read morehad tried several times to get back in shape on my own but I always ended up getting bored and giving up. When I heard about SJ Bodyfit Bootcamp I was really hoping it would be a good fit for me. After not working out for well over 2 years, I was afraid that everything was going to be too hard for me. I'm not going to lie, the first week I was so sore that I could hardly walk, but it felt good to know that I worked hard. The great thing about this bootcamp is that it can be tailored to any fitness level. Most workouts consist of a circuit where we try to do as many rounds as we can in a certain amount of time. It's great because while you are competing with yourself to improve on your past workouts, there are also other people going faster than you that inspire you to push just a little harder. I have been going now for 4 weeks and I am already seeing great results. My endurance and strength have already improved in that short period of time. Sheila is an amazing trainer and it is evident that she really knows her stuff. Every workout is different and Sheila is there to encourage you to keep going when you are tired and to praise you when she sees that you are improving and working hard. The class is very small which allows for Sheila to watch everyone in order to provide feedback and correct our form if necessary. It has been so great to be in an environment where people care that you show up and work hard. The other great thing is that while the workouts are intense they are also short, so we are in and out in an hour. That hour even includes ample time to warm up before and stretch at the end. I would encourage anyone at any fitness level to give this a try, especially if you've tried getting in shape on your own and have found that you need a little extra motivation. I guarantee that you will love the workouts and see results quickly.

I have been going to this gym since March 2019. While I started my weight loss transformation in…read moreJanuary 2019, I was only able to lose 10 pounds on my own by making some lifestyle choices. I was searching for a gym that would be positive-based coaching, inspirational and motivating for me. Due to a FB ad, I discovered Achievement Fitness Transformation Center. When I walked in, I noticed a good vibe to the place! Self-employed businesses are near and dear to my heart, as my parents had their own business. It takes a lot of self-discipline, ambition and love for what you do in order to run your own business. Coaches Brett and Denise have all of those qualities because they love transforming people into a better version of themselves! Their passion and focus is on training people - which is where they spend the majority of their time. Since joining the gym, I have lost 25 pounds to date! I did the 6 week challenge and am doing one of their VIP challenges currently. I am on target to lose my goal weight loss by my birthday, due to their support. They motivate, inspire and provide the tools you need in order to achieve your goal. Be clear, it is your goal, and your motivation to be receptive to their feedback, their instructions and their guidance. You must hold yourself accountable for your choices, in order to truly succeed! The workouts are challenging, diversified and sometimes partner-based. You get to interact with really great people, have fun, despite the sweat pouring down your face. You can even get a little 'friendly' competition using the MyZone trackers and their monthly leaderboard of the top 20 trainers for the month. If you are into sharing High-Fives with your workout mates, and hearing your coach cheering you on, this is the place for you! The gym is now my happy place - it provides a great environment, full of positive, encouraging people to cheer you along, fun music, the random jokes while working out, but definitely with the coaches cheering you along during your workouts! It is common for Coach Denise to come alongside you and encourage you to work hard and achieve success! So, if you are looking for a great workout environment, then AFTC is the place to be.
