My son Keanu has been coming to Peak Performance (formerly Gold Medal) for over 4 years and has…read morebeen under the instruction of Herb Perez who won the Gold Medal in taekwondo at the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona. I wanted to take a moment and talk about what I most admire about Herb. When someone has the level of success Herb has had, it would be really easy for him be hard on students that don't have the same ability as he did. Herb and his staff never pushed my son too hard. They let Keanu come in, work at his own pace and pushed him only at the right times. The long game is working as my son Keanu is really enjoying class and has now asked to come in 3 days a week instead of 2 days a week to train more. When my son first joined 4 years ago, there were a bunch of students. I didn't know if he was just going to be a number. I am happy to report that Keanu is not just a number to Herb and his staff. When I look into Herb's eyes, I can see that he really cares about my son and wants what is best for his future. What parent could ask for more? Herb has plenty of students but was also nice enough to praise our family for our loyalty with staying with him through the pandemic which means the world to us. I highly recommend Peak Performance to anyone looking to better themselves or their children!

Danny was a patient teacher and would ensure that proper form was followed. He customized exercises to my needs and even to my level of sleep from the night before. Danny was a fantastic cheerleader bringing out the best in me. And even though I would be sore from some workouts, I wanted to come back the next time. He was able to instill in me solid routines that I will look to continue on my own. I truly cannot express how awesome Danny is as a personal trainer. It was a pleasure working with him for the past year.

She's been my trainer since 2023, and my health has never been better. She's Hawaiian sunshine in human form, always upbeat, which definitely helps at 7 a.m. Her happy-go-lucky energy is so constant I can't decide if she's my trainer or just a very cheerful Energizer Bunny in disguise. She's also dedicated, always learning the latest fitness research to fine-tune my workouts. She helped me get stronger, and now we're tackling weight loss. But don't think it's all serious science--sessions with her are also comedy shows. She'll get distracted, lose count of my reps (always when they're the hardest ), and then showers me with a nonstop chorus of "Good job! Good job!" until I finally give her the side-eyes . But here's the thing: even with the chaos, Chermayne knows exactly what she's doing. She motivates me, keeps me accountable, and somehow makes sweating buckets feel fun. If you want a trainer who'll push you, cheer you on, occasionally forget what number you're on, and still make every workout the highlight of your day--Chermayne's your girl.

When I was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year, one of the first things I did was sign up for…read morepersonal training. This studio looked great and was well-reviewed, so I became a longtime client and even prepaid for a package of classes. One day the studio was very cold -- Parkinson's makes it hard for me to regulate my body temperature -- so I closed the door. I was the only client working out at the time. Moments later, a man violently slammed the door back open in my face. No explanation, no apology. I later learned he was the owner. We adore our trainer, who went above and beyond to help, even arranging a meeting with the owner to address what happened. Instead of apologizing, the owner insisted I had violated the rules. All it would have taken was, "We keep the door open here -- please leave it, and let us know if you're cold." Instead, he doubled down. I trusted this studio with my health and my money. Take yours elsewhere.

Working with Wayne at Morph Fitness is the single best decision I've made for my health. His holistic, customized approach fits a busy life -- as a working mom and surgeon I didn't think I had time to eat well or exercise, but Wayne helped me prioritize my health. I now have far more energy and feel stronger, which makes me a better mom and surgeon. Wayne's knowledge and passion exceed expectations. He understands the mechanics of every muscle and designs intentional programs tailored to your goals. He immediately identified my poor posture from years in the OR and systematically strengthened the right muscles while using targeted stretching and bodywork to relieve chronic tension. A former physical therapist, he blends corrective work with performance training. Wayne is tough but fair -- he corrects form until it's flawless and gives simple, actionable changes that become lasting habits. His nutrition guidance isn't a fad: it kept me full and energized, addressed chronic dehydration (I now drink at least half my body weight in ounces of water), and eliminated the need for sugary snacks. I increased my daily steps and added targeted supplements. In four months I've lost 10 lbs, dropped under 20% body fat, gained significant muscle, and am down a clothing size. Most importantly, my chronic back pain has resolved, my posture is much improved, and I feel the healthiest and happiest I've ever been.

I came in as a complete beginner, but her warm and welcoming personality immediately made the experience feel comfortable and unintimidating. Our sessions were 2-on-1 with my husband, and Maria was always thoughtful in tailoring the workouts to each of our individual abilities and needs. I love the feeling of getting stronger over time, and I owe that entirely to Maria! Maria is genuinely caring, outgoing, and kind, and this shines through in our workouts. It's clear that she values me as a person--not just as a client. FIT SF has also been a fantastic training environment. The space is large, well-equipped, and never overcrowded--most of the time there are only one or two other clients sharing the space. Maria's flexibility with scheduling has been incredibly helpful for fitting workouts into our busy work schedules. I highly recommend Maria to anyone at any fitness level.

I first met Sunita after signing up for her boot camp class in Foster City, which is awesome. After…read moredoing boot camp for ~6 months, I decided to challenge myself and signed up for her all day Fitness & Yoga hike. The all-day hike is something she's just started offering, and I went on Saturday. A group of ~10 of us all carpooled to Big Sur. This was probably the most challenging hike I've been on (if you're experienced, it would be a moderate hike, if you're a newbie I'd say challenging). We started with ~3 miles, mostly uphill towards the ridge overlooking the ocean. We stopped there for lunch, lovingly prepared by Sunita, and rested and took in the view. We then made our way down the winding side of the mountain, taking in the changing landscape the whole way. We ended up on the beach, rested our tired feet in a creek for a bit, and finished up with a short yoga session in the sand complete with wine & cheese. Total distance and time: 7.5 miles, 4-5 hours. The price of the hike included transportation, snacks, lunch, guided hike and yoga. An added bonus is that you get to meet folks from all her different classes -- many of the folks I had seen before but since it was an all day even I got to know them a lot better. Highly recommend!

I worked with Nico briefly, and was super excited to try online coaching (which I had never done…read morebefore). Nico was super nice in the beginning, but as time passed, he started being pretty rude and condescending in his replies to me. I'm sure coaches are constantly being tugged at, but I don't feel like my questions were stupid or out of line, especially for a newbie. After about 6 weeks, I decided I didn't feel comfortable proceeding with a person who didn't welcome my communication.

I've worked with Nico across multiple sessions and this last one was by far the most challenging --…read moreillness, an injury, and a job loss all hit at once. Despite everything, Nico kept me grounded, positive, and focused. Workouts, macros, water, protein, protein, PROTEIN! He has a way of keeping you in the game even when life is throwing everything at you. This session had a tighter timeline -- I was prepping for a very special family event -- so the approach was more of a sprint compared to the gradual builds we've done in past sessions. Different, but it worked. And the real test? Traveling right before the event -- no gym, couldn't track macros, water intake was a mess -- and I still felt AMAZING. I showed up feeling like the best version of myself. That is 100% because of Nico. He is more than a trainer. He's a coach, a cheerleader, and an inspiration. The tools and mindset he's given me go beyond any single goal because at the end of the day, this is a lifestyle. If you're looking for someone who will truly invest in YOU -- not just your workouts -- Nico is your person.
