I cannot recommend Branden Henderson enough! From the moment I started training with him, I knew I was in excellent hands. Branden has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals, and the results have been great! What sets Branden apart is his personalized approach to training. He took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences, and tailored each session to maximize my progress. His expertise in fitness and nutrition was evident in every workout plan and dietary advice provided. Not only did Branden push me to new limits, but he also ensured that each exercise was performed with proper form and technique, minimizing the risk of injury. His motivation and positive attitude was contagious, making every session enjoyable and something I looked forward to. Thanks to Branden, I achieved my goals of loosing weight, building muscle, improving endurance and have never felt better. I am stronger and feel confident. I was training for the Spartan race since February and can say I killed it with his preparation and help. If you are looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring personal trainer, look no further than Branden. He will undoubtedly help you reach your fitness goals and beyond! read more

Elite fitness has top of the line trainers such as Remi and Branden Henderson. I trained for over 6 months with Branden and he has been an exceptional coach. He is not in this field for the money. He truly cares about his clients. He approaches coaching in a holistic manner, focusing on mental, spiritual and physical health. He provided meal plans, strength training plans and weekly coaching check ins. In our checks in he would share his wisdom, strategies to do better, encouragement and accountability. He is truly an amazing coach and trainer. Book him if you are ready to change your mind and body. read more

I cannot recommend enough. I began working with Branden in August/September and had goals of returning to my previous athletic build and body and overall good health. I chose the personal training option with Branden but there are other options and his wife and business partner, Remi, is available too. It's now December and I'm down just under 20lbs. I'm feeling good and strong and confident again! 2 days a week and 45 mins per session has me like this. A personalized meal plan is included. 7 days a week, 3 meals a day and sometimes a snack because I work long hours. The meal plan includes all nutrition information so I know what I'm putting in my body and even includes a shopping list! Branden is available when I have questions about anything from scheduling to where I can purchase an item on the meal plan and he makes recommendations if I need it. I have never once felt judged or guilted by Branden. He is totally reasonable with expectations. My husband and I do date night dinner and drinks once a week and Branden has been super supportive of it. The gym itself is very clean and the other gym goers are nice and welcoming. I feel like it's important to mention there are times when it's just me (a woman) and Branden (a man) alone in the gym. I have never once felt creeped or weirded out. Overall, I'm very happy with my decision to reach out to Elite Fitness. read more

Branden took the time to really listen, ask questions, and understand my goals before diving into my training plan. That was why I chose to work with him after interviewing multiple different trainers. It was clear that he created personalized workouts that suited my circumstances, and he checked in with me regularly to make adjustments as needed. I quickly saw progress, feeling stronger, fitter, and more toned. On top of that, he was always kind, respectful, and fun to work with. I would highly recommend Branden to anyone looking for a personal trainer. read more

Elite Fitness has changed my entire life!! I first started one on one training with Branden a few years ago. I came in with a torn ACL, a torn meniscus, chronic pain, and very little gym knowledge. There were many times I felt discouraged in my journey because of the knee pain but Branden heard my concerns, knew my limitations and was patient with me the entire time. My only goal was to get stronger and I'm so happy I trusted him. Today, I am so much stronger mentally, emotionally, and physically. At one point I wasn't able to walk a block without feeling pain but now I can walk over 5 miles with no pain at all! I still have a torn ACL and a torn meniscus but Branden has helped me strengthen the muscles in my legs and I went from being in chronic pain every single day to barely feeling any pain in my knees. Branden "graduated" me from one on one training to group classes. I attend classes with Remi and the classes are small enough so my individual needs are still met! I've lost weight, gotten stronger, and have confidence when I'm in the gym. Elite Fitness has made a huge impact on my life and I am forever grateful! read more

Mister Elite Fitness has changed my life. Not only because I've lost over 20 pounds following his training program, but because he has helped me adopt a health-conscious mindset that I plan to maintain for the rest of my life. He is the perfect balance between patience and seriousness but leans mostly towards seriousness - he ain't no joke! Mister Elite Fitness is about his business and that is fitness training. During our 1:1 sessions, he has pushed me to work harder than I ever thought I could and as a result I am the strongest I have ever been. He has also taught me not to focus so much on the scale, but rather on body composition; I've had several body analyses done and most if not all the weight I have lost since working with Mister Elite Fitness has been fat mass. From the exercise programs he designs, which includes heavy lifting, to the diet programs he designs, which includes the right macros for my body composition and will adjust it accordingly, Branden has helped me get it together. And he has always been upfront about what it takes to get fit, which includes not only exercise and diet but also patience and consistency over the long haul. I highly recommend Mister Elite Fitness if you are SERIOUS about getting in shape and willing to put in the work to get there. read more

Branden and Remi Henderson are two high-end fitness professionals who are passionate about what they do! My experience working 1-on-1 as a client of Branden was outstanding, educational and ALWAYS positive!! Highly recommended!!! read more

I started with Remi and Branden in September 2017. This is the first time I've actually thought of fitness not as a quick fix but a lifestyle. I still fall short at times, but I've become more conscious about my choices. The boot camps are great, especially when you need the motivation of others also working towards the same goal. And now, I've added the small group classes, which is more solo, but it allows me to focus on working out the right way, especially with equipment. All in all, reaching your fitness goal is mental and Branden and Remi's holistic approach is super helpful! Plus, it's black owned and I'm totally here for supporting minority's owned businesses! read more

Elite Fitness change my life for the better... I was 60lbs overweight and although I hid it well, I was miserable. I had a depleted mentality & I was all over the place. I worked with Branden for the last 6 years with an online program, and I've kept the weight off and now live a healthy lifestyle. Online worked for me because of my busy schedule, and with the coaching I was able to get everything that I needed. I even completed 2 fitness shows and my family has adopted a similar lifestyle. If you are looking for a fit family whether in person or online, Elite Fitness will change your life too! read more

Let me start this review by asking the questions Remi asked me when I first started in December. How serious are you about your weight loss goals? And second what's different about this attempt at losing weight? If you are looking for a lifestyle change. Knowledgeable trainers that will give you results, Elite Fitness is the place for you. As I stated I started in December with there small group class and meal plan with Remi. She made sure that I knew proper and safe lifting techniques. Once she felt I'd learned the basics I began boot camps.. I have never been more challenged in my life... But with that said, I look forward to my workouts each and everyday. I love the results that I'm getting and the way both Branden and Remi push me. Oh! Did I mention that I've lost 25lbs since I've started! Choose Elite for a lifestyle change not just to loss some weight! I'm over the moon with my decision! read more

I have been attending Small Group classes with Branden since 2018 - I was looking for something beyond boot camp classes and I finally found that with Branden's guidance. I had no clue how to properly lift weights or start a regimen on strength training. Branden has consistently demonstrated qualities of a great personal trainer: honesty, professionalism, educated & well-trained. I recently made the decision to fully commit to working out consistently and change my eating habits. Branden in response to my commitment has focused to create a custom nutrition program according to my body type and goals. Between my commitment to myself and his guidance on diet & strength training I have lost 12lbs since Sept. and I'm confident that our combined efforts will continue to help me reach my goals by January 2020! read more

I didn't know what to expect coming here since I got my pass from Classpass and didn't do any research. The gym wasn't super fancy, but it was 'real'. The workout regimen was fantastic though. I was not expecting to get my butt kicked like that. I was panting and sweating my butt off by the end of it. The instructor was playing some jamming tunes too! read more

Wife and I signed up for Branden's 8 week online meal plan and home workout plan, for busy parents with kids and work and little league and not much time in between, this was a godsend. You have to be honest in what you plan to commit to as far as your workouts go, commit to your meal plans, and Branden takes care of the rest!! I went from teetering at 300lbs down to 267 and a half after 8 weeks!!! My wife has dropped 3 pants sizes!! The Facebook support group included is inspiring and makes you want to do more, it's a great perk. If you want to get serious about your health, for you and your family, this is the place you want to start read more

They are the best hands down, I love them they are two very kind sweet ppl. I love how they care about your health. I see a lot of trainers who only focus on the visual and talk no health, but these guys are all about health which is what I love, it shows they care about you as a person and not all about the finances. So if your looking for a trainer in the Bay Area who provides good services, and pocket friendly, elite fitness studio is the place for you! read more

This place has changed my life! I was never a gym person but coming here has changed it all. I love this place and them as a couple. Trying to help people change their lives. So awesome. If you haven't joined do it! read more

I've been here for over a year now and love it. There are multiple options for your fitness needs, but I do 1-on-1 with Branden. He is consistent, responsive and knowledgeable. All workouts are catered to my fitness levels, the nutrition plan is designed for me, and our sessions provide a healthy amount of challenge. You can tell Branden cares about your progress by the way he monitors your body movements and the feedback he gives on weekly check-ins. When I got hurt, Branden adjusted our workouts so I could still build muscle, lose weight and make progress. The nutrition plan works when you follow it! I never feel deprived when following the nutrition plan. Branden makes sure you get to eat all of the food groups in an intentional and responsible way. Branden helps you to remember to celebrate all types of progress, whether it's celebrating shedding pounds, your clothes fitting differently, or reaching a new lifting goal. Branden also encourages you to get back on track on those off weeks and he never shames you about it! Branden and Remi (his wife, an awesome trainer as well) have built a business based on trust, compassion and results. If you are ready to put in work, then this is the place for you! read more

I've always been a runner prior to joining Elite and like many other runners you have this mindset that cardio is the solution to quick weight loss. I began with boot camp classes and what really interest me is the ability to get stronger, improve endurance and incorporate weights. Branden and Remi have been of tremendous support and consistently setting the bar higher for me to move to the next level. With time I have moved on to their small group sessions and improved my form/technique. Their continuous coaching and follow up has allowed me to become a better version of myself when it comes to health and fitness lifestyle! read more

I absolutely love this place. The people and the energy is amazing. Everyone is always so welcoming, supportive, and loving. It's not just a place to workout, but a collective community of fitness professionals and clients who always show up and give their all. If your looking for a place where you can become a better version of yourself, then look no further! read more

I've been working out @ Elite Fitness off & on for the last few years (because sometimes life happens). Elite isn't one of those places where everyone is checking out what you're wearing, or your fitness level. It is a very comfortable environment. I've trained with Remi & Branden and they are the best at what they do. They're great at making sure you're using proper form & doing exercises correctly so you don't injure yourself. They both care about you getting results. They offer personalized meal plans because everyone's nutrition needs are different. They'll push you to higher levels and you'll find yourself doing what you THOUGHT you couldn't do, and that gives you the confidence to keep upping your game. Boot Camps are great too. There always different so you don't get bored with the same ol, same ol and you will work! PS: Support local small businesses! Especially those owned & operated by POC. read more

I love Elite Fitness Studio!!! I can't say enough about the coaches and environment. I have been training with Remi for about 10 months and I have seen some drastic results. Results I have never been able to accomplish on my own. Their dedication to fitness & nutrition is Phenomenal. I have lost weight, gained muscle, and I'm more toned. If you're looking for a place with a positive, motivaitonal environment, then Elite Fitness is for you. If you want to live a healthier lifestyle then Elite Fitness is for you!! Check them out I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

Elite Fitness Studio is the best gym I have been to! Branden is an awesome trainer who has a proven track record of getting results for his clients. I met him through boot camps and slowly transitioned into group weight training. And I couldn't be happier! He creates workouts and meal plans that are specifically tailored to help me reach my goals. He really takes pride in educating his clients and helping them achieve their full potential. I couldn't imagine working out anywhere else but Elite Fitness. If you are looking for a challenge and want to push yourself, this is the place. I highly recommend this studio to anyone who is looking to make a change in their health in an environment that is fun, motivating, and safe. read more

Love the sessions here... they really push you so you get the most out of your time. Be ready to put in work. You don't necessarily have to be able to keep up with EVERYTHING but as long as you're pushing yourself more than complaining you'll get a great workout. Your only cheating yourself otherwise. They're great people who bring you the nutrition & motivation along with the fitness challenge. I highly recommend them. read more

Amazing, Remi and Branden are certainly a gifted and talented power couple. They help push you beyond what your mind feel you can do.

I love going to workout at elite fitness, great positive energy from the trainers and the clients. I love most that at each session I attend I learn new fitness techniques and skills. I have become stronger and visibly more toned after my time there. read more

I love Elite Fitness! Elite is more than a gym to me, it's like my second home. I do small group training with Branden and after more than a year and a half I am still being challenged and growing stronger by the day. I went from being a tired mother of four who could barely get off the couch at the end of the day, to a energetic mother of four who can out pace the kids! Also the women at Elite are fierce, amazing, and extremely supportive of one another and it helps to have people who will walk the lake with you and run stairs on our days off. Thanks Branden and Remi for creating an environment of positivity that promotes an infectious love of fitness! read more

This place was great!! We did a small group session with Remi and she was so nice but she definitely kicked out butt!! It was one of the best (and hardest) work outs I've done in awhile. I would definitely go back read more

Just started the 6 weeks challenge. "I LOVE the support of the trainers Remi & Brendan. The Elite gym is very clean. I've met some very friendly, supportive ladies at the training sessions. If you're looking for a new gym, I recommend stopping by Elite Fitness Studio. read more

elite fitness wow where should i start.....this place is a great gym studio. i have been training with remi for 1year now and my results are amazing. when i first started with group traing i was only planing training for.2months. but after having a great trainer and also being around a friendly environment i continued my training. here it is a year latter and i dont plan.on.stopping anytime soon. now my husband started training.with branden and he is loving his.results. so if you are looking for great trainers, friendly and clean environment i would recommen elite fitness. read more

If I could give Zero stars I would - you come for a workout and the work out consists of 500 jumping jacks and 500 jump ropes - it is beyond ridiculous!! Oh don't forget run around the block two times - where's the focus ,attention to the work out. I have been part of boot camps before and you have circuit training , all parts of your body getting an even work out! I mean really i came here to get in shape , obviously I cannot do 500 jumping jacks and jump rope for 45 minutes. There is no individuals attention given. We are just hauled in and told to jump. The meal plans are not healthy- promising quick weight loss - but is it healthy weight loss- that's if you get your. " promised" meal plan. I've never worked out with Remi- just Brendan and his teaching style is not teaching at all. Good money is spent NO REFUNDs mind you- and what you get can be done in your own living room. Also there is no padding on the floor of gum / feels like you are just jumping on a concrete slab / which will make you injury prone. Please shop around before making s commitment- your overall health should be the priority of the trainers. All this place seems to care about is making money and how they can make more not the clients! read more

Took me a while to write my review because I wanted to make sure I gave an honest and fair review about this place and the people. My experience has been GREAT, GREAT, GREAT ENERGY, GREAT PEOPLE, GREAT FITNESS COACHES, GREAT MUSIC, GREAT OWNERS, this place is just GREAT! I have been training with Joy for almost a year now, and I can't tell you how amazing and incredible my fitness journey has been with her. Best way to describe my journey with one word, truly and honestly, its TRANSFORMATION! I never though I could do all those hardcore workouts you see fit people on TV, or the gym do. I never thought I could ever reach half the transformation of my body now. I had convinced myself that it was an impossible for me to ever look lean and fit, and would never accomplish it because I was just so unhealthy and fat. I set that dream aside for many years and only daydreamed about it when flipping through my VS catalog. It took other personal reason to wake up and begin a new lifestyle for me. Before my fitness journey with Joy I had already lost 20 pounds by changing my nutrition, but I still didn't believe making the change of that, or adding fitness would give me a lean fit body. I decided to contact Joy, my first impression was the same I had with other trainers (that gave me no results) but Joys honesty, and personality caught my attention I had to give her the benefit of the doubt, and sure enough she proved me wrong. She kicked my butt really bad on the first week, and by the end of second week I had significant results that convinced me to stick with her plan. Joys training techniques are unique because she can relate to her clients, she like me, has also accomplished an incredible transformation. Joy has been really dedicated to my fitness journey, you can tell she truly cares about her clients goals because she is constantly reaching out and following up. Joy has provided me with the information and tools I've needed to get where I'm at now. It's truly a blessing to have someone like Joy; to push you to your limit if not beyond it. She knows how to motivate you, and keeps that spark alive and going. Thanks to her and her non-stop persistence I now truly believe in myself, what I thought was impossible, is impossible. I feel great, healthy and confident; I have no regrets except not calling her sooner! Mr. & Mrs. Elite-fitness (owners) although I have not had the pleasure to workout with them, by my observations I can say they are true role models of a healthy and fit lifestyle. I can't wait to go to Mr. Elite-fitness ab lab class on Friday evenings. read more
