Daniel of Dynamic Movement Solutions is absolutely amazing! I can't say enough great things about…read morehim. I've been working with Daniel for the past 2 months and the amount of knowledge this guy has is outstanding. I came to him with a history of 16 years of dance and wanted to get my flexibility back. Beyond that I just saw what he was capable of doing through YouTube and I was very impressed. Usually a person with that skill set and strength tend to come off as a little too edgy for me- but Daniel is probably one of the most compassionate people I've met in my life! That says something, and honestly that quality is hard to find in the fitness industry. Daniels method of training is challenging but I feel confident along the way. He has created an amazing method to bring back mobility and flexibility to any body looking to move better in their bodies. The basic exercises looked so easy but honestly - whenever I get on the mat and try them for the first time I find it really challenging (in a good way)! My brain is saying "damn girl whateva you got this" and my body is saying "wow how did he make that look so easy!!" I didnt really know the who's - who in this movement world but once I started training with Daniel the more I was intrigued. This man has worked under so many amazing teachers- he was a student of Ido Portal, Steve Atlas of the body practice and also GMB (Gold Medal Bodies). The amount of knowledge this guy has absorbed makes his training effective and also one of a kind. One thing I love is I'm able to work out in the privacy of my own home or come to his home gym. He's located in Campbell- and his gym is basically converted in the whole front of the house. There's stahl bars to hang from that are mounted on the wall, an area where the mat is to do stretches and mobility, a hard wood floor to do locomotion and movement and a wall that's dedicated to handstands! I will be able to kick up one day- it's my goal haha. With service like this, and having a compassionate trainer, along with all the things he does for the community (free meet ups once a month in a park, teaches at an awesome studio I just reviewed) I'm blown away by how humble this guy is. Honestly - if you want a personal experience and transform your body in a non-abrasive manner, I super highly recommend Daniel. This guy is top of the crop!

Working with a trainer can be intimidating -- a guy covered in muscles yelling at you to pick up…read moresomething heavy can make us mortals feel bad about our (lack of) physical fitness. Daniel Spencer isn't like that -- yet he's incredibly strong, amazingly flexible and very knowledgeable about physical fitness. I took Daniel's rings & floor classes, a type of physical fitness practice I had no idea I would enjoy until I had the opportunity to work with Daniel. He made our hour-long workouts feel more like play, even though they were exhausting and we were building strength and flexibility the whole time. He always started with a great stretching regimen, then varied our activities in each class, introducing new skills and coming back to ones he had taught us previously. We all saw our coordination and strength build, and would occasionally have breakthroughs and find ourselves suddenly able to do things we couldn't just the previous week. Daniel was encouraging and excited for all of us every time. Daniel loves what he does and is good at it. He's exactly the kind of trainer you want to work with: Approachable, knowledgeable and makes working out fun.

Andrea is awesome! Her training program is so convenient, and she collaborates with me to work…read morearound my schedule. I also love how portable her workouts are. Although most of my sessions have been at her awesome gym (which is conveniently located right off Hwy 87), she's also been able to train me at a park as well as my own home! In addition, I appreciate her training style. I've worked with a number of personal trainers, and most of them were the kind that barked orders and yelled to encourage you to push through the exercise. Andrea, however, eases you into her workouts, and rather than yelling at me to work harder, she encourages me with positivity and tells me to do as many reps as I can. Her intention isn't to kill you every day so that you dread attending her training sessions, she instead builds you up little by little so that over time you build muscle and stamina through repetition and habit. It may sound weird, but I end up doing a lot more reps than expected because I find my own motivation to keep going. Moreover, not getting killed every time I see her (even though I do get unexpectedly sore) makes me want to workout more often, which enables me to stick with her program. All in all, I would recommend her to anyone that wants long lasting results; progress of any kind (i.e. weightloss, building muscle, toning, etc.) takes time, and she gives you everything you need to meet your goals.

I started to train with Andrea from Pazitive Transformation in July this year. I'm glad I did! Here…read moreare 8 reasons to work out with Pazitive Transformation! 1. Go at your own pace Andrea let's you know it's okay to go at your own pace! There is no pressure to exert yourself. During my first session with her, I told myself I was going to fight through the last set of exercises. Big mistake. I threw up in public. Thank goodness for the trash can. haha. But if you really don't feel well be honest! We gradually build our strength and endurance so she let me know it was okay to tell her I can't do anymore...(Those burpees will get you...;D) 2. Exercises are tailored to your goals I had a trainer who pointed out what areas he thought I needed to work on. That made me feels super insecure and uncomfortable working with him. I canceled my session with him. Andrea made me feel comfortable with talking about what my fitness goals are. She also checks in with you during the week to see how your exercises are going. It's not a one size fits all. Your work out plan will be tailored to your goals. 3. Offers Personal Coaching Sessions as Part of the training She's a great listener and it was nice to have someone who you can relate to! She's easy to open up to. There was one week when I was discouraged because people were commenting on my weight. I was feeling good and working out more and people were saying how much weight I've gained. I know I've gained weight through out the years. My weight fluctuated through out the years. I used to be 100 lbs when I was 18 and now at 27 I am around 130. I felt comfortable opening up to her and it helps having someone to relate to. 4. Gives advice on eating habits Part of your fitness is also changing your eating habits. Andrea gave me great advice. I usually give in to my cravings, but she reminds you of what your goals are and shares tips on eating habits. She doesn't make you feel like you have to give up a certain food. You can still have foods you like, but in moderation. I still eat what I like, but I won't stuff myself. 5. Great Equipment and Work Out Area (and she has Chickens!!) Andrea is equipped with new fitness equipment! She has a great space in her backyard. Newly remodeled with a grass area,TRX straps, weights, and other new equipment. She also has a nice little farm with chickens! It's a fun space and I love working out there. Don't worry they won't be running around you while you work out. :) 6. Provides a variety of different work outs I never got bored with the work outs because Andrea always added and tried new things with my work outs. One week we did a stair work out. She added a TRX workout which I loved! I actually purchased my own that I do at home. We also did deadlifting and squats which I've always wanted to do! I was always afraid of hurting myself, but Andrea made sure I had the correct form. She also provides a weekly sheet of the exercises/guide to help you during the week. 7. She'll make you do box jumps and you will have fun One of the most challenging, not because it required super strength but I was so scared to jump! Haha. It wasn't too high, but when I was going to jump on it, I started to second guess myself. I thought I was going to trip and fall over. The first jump is always the hardest. The key is to be confident in your jump and you can do it. 8. You will feel great! Before starting my personal training session with her, I felt so stressed out. I was always making excuses not to go to the gym. I'm more aware of what I am eating. I feel a lot stronger. When I first started I couldn't even 1 push up. That's when I knew I was out of shape. In about a month of training with her. I was able to go from 0 push-ups to 20! Within 2 months I was able to do the Pike exercise on the TRX. With consistency and a determined mindset, you can definitely reach your fitness goals.

I have been working out at the gym and doing cardio since I was 18, however I never had the courage…read moreto workout with weights. Well that has changed because of Jason Marx. I have been trainging with Jason Marx for a year and half and he has pushed me and encouraged me to not only meet but exceed my fitness goals. In addition to lifting more weight than I ever thought I could, he has made me believe in myself, and have more confidence in myself. If there is a new weight workout he is going to show me I no longer say I can't do it I embrace it and make it happen! Jason cares about his clients not just for the time he is trainging you but he is constantly looking for ways to improve workouts and eating habits so we can continue to the next fitness level. He is always throwing new things into the workout so I don't plateau. If you are looking for a trainer you have to workout with Jason Marx at least once. I guarantee you won't want to workout with any other trainer after that!!

I've been training with Jason at 1119 Fitness for a little over a year and I can't say enough good…read morethings about him. He gives just the right amount of motivation and pointers--enough to push you without being annoying. He has a great sense of humor. And he accomodates my hectic schedule. I've had other trainers in the past, and witnessed many, and without doubt, Jason is one of the best around. The proof is in the pudding though: With just 1 or 2 workouts a week, I've dropped at least 15 pounds of fat and put on significant muscle mass. My flexibility is improved, as is my stamina. I came to him barely able to do a set of push ups, and now I can do them all day long. I'm 38, and feel better than I have since I was 10 years younger. I was a decent athlete when I was younger, but getting old is no joke (as is getting married and having kids), and I've fallen off over the past decade. Jason is a former athlete, and approaching middle age as well (sorry Jason), so I think he gets it. I've seen and worked with younger trainers who treat clients like olympic athletes, pushing too hard, and risking injury. I've also worked with trainers who've treated me like I've never seen the inside of a gym before, which is insulting. Jason is neither. With a session or two he figured out where I was and where I wanted to be, and has developed perfectly challenging sessions for me. Never the same one twice either. He trains men and women, a variety of shapes and ages, and all seem pleased. Do it!!!!

Sherry started me on my getting-fit path after two years of letting myself go. A friend refer…read moreSherry to me and I started in Sherry's boot camp in the Evergreen area. I was so motivated after a few classes that I asked her to start a group for us in the Almaden area. We were inclusive so we had all age groups. There were young and milddle-ages, singles, couples, young adults, mother-daughter teams, you name it in, we had them in our group. We all had a wonderful time. We worked out 10 weeks with Sherry in the summer and although not everyone continued, it was a memorable and unforgetable experience for me. Sherry is professional and knowledgeable about fitness. I appreciate most that she answers any questions and concerns we had about exercise and nutrition. Sherry has a up-lifting personality and she makes the work out challenging, yet fun. She incorporates everyone's level of fitness. Even the teenagers in our group enjoyed working out with her.

A True Fitness Sanctuary!…read more Have you ever looked at a brochure or a vacation website and see a fitness class on top of a mountain or bridge with incredible views in the background? This is it! I joined Sherry's Fitness Boot Camp a month ago and it is the most incredible class! Not only are you breathing fresh air and surrounded by beautiful trees and nature, the class is out of this world! it's held on top of the Bridge entering The Ranch golf course community. I've attended many fitness classes and have had various personal trainers in the past, Sherry takes the crown as being the best! I work out 4-5 times a week and am very particular about my fitness routine. If there is a class that is not challenging enough, boring, or the trainer is not in the best shape, I would not go. Sherry is very, very fit and has a hot body! Her age? She will tell you herself. Let's just say her body and level of fitness can rival any 20 year old athlete. Just looking at her will give you motivation to work out. Her BEST feature is her personality. She is always so cheerful and motivating especially in the early morning when I am so tired and do not want to talk to anybody. She is always there with her positive energy to boost my mood up. Not only that, she is very patient as well and takes pride in her class. She will always go around and help people with their form and modify the exercises according to the individual. Very personalized attention. If one person is more active than others, she makes it tougher. If a person is not as active or has an injury, she modifies their workout as well. No matter the fitness level, you will definitely receive the best workout every time you attend class. Her prices are definitely affordable. You can pay per class or pay monthly which is discounted. The first class is always free! She is so generous with her time too. She always stays past the class end time to answer any questions or give advice on diet and exercise. She loves training and does not rely on the classes as her income. She holds classes when her kids are in school and she also teaches a kids fitness class at Evergreen Elementary. She also does personal training as well and her rates beats any personal trainer I ever had in the past. She is an exceptional trainer that truly loves training and cares about her class. I truly love it! Classes are offered: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays : 8:30 to 9:30 A.M. at the Ranch Bridge ( Park on the street next to the bridge and walk over). Tuesdays and Thursdays: 8:30 to 9:30 A.M. at the Silver Creek Country Club Tuesdays and Thursdays: 10:00 to 11:00 A.M. at the Canyon Creek Park She does not have a website yet, but her Facebook Page is pretty informative: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sherry-Azizi-Personal-Training/518655684937992 Her phone number is: (202) 841-8163 ( She has kept her East Coast number) I go to the Monday through Friday classes as I am crazy about keeping active and it helps with everyday stresses in life :)

I've always struggled with my weight and have worked out with a personal trainer many years ago…read more My experience with Nolan has always been very positive. A great personal trainer will push you in the gym, make sure your form is correct to alleviate any injuries, help you set goals and move towards them and coach you on healthy eating habits. Nolan has done all this with me and he has a very simple and realistic approach on food. I haven't worked out with him long but I'm seeing more results with the scale and my body than I have in the last year trying to do it on my own. Another great benefit of working out with Nolan is that he has his own studio. For me I prefer the privacy of a personal studio/gym than working out in a big gym. Don't worry, you won't get bored with these sessions because Nolan is always mixing it up with different exercises tailored to your goals.
