I reached out asking about class times and such and I never got a response. There is also nothing posted on the website so I'd suggest not wasting your time here. read more

Working with Coach Omar has been a blessing. As a competitive athlete, having the professional, attentive and healing care only received from Omar is unlike any other. Working with a physical therapist who doubles as a strength and conditioning coach has allowed me to take my overall health and wellness to the next level. Omar was able to help restore mobility back into my shoulders, help remedy a popped rib, just to name a few. Coupled with a vass and deep knowledge of the body, Omar's humor and open heart make his establishment very welcoming and friendly to all fitness levels. Whether you are beginning your fitness journey or aiming to exceed your summit, I highly recommend a visit to Functional Core Fitness for all your daily, functional needs. read more

I've been attending the circuit training class on Saturdays at 11 am. First, I appreciate the time - 11 am allows me to sleep in, and is early enough that it isn't in the middle of everything I need to get done. Second, its a really good workout. Omar, the instructor, organizes an exercise for each person in the class. You do the exercise for 1 minute, get a 15 second break and rotate, then start the next exercise. After you've completed all the exercises in the circuit you get a 1 minute break. Then you complete the circuit again until the hour is up. Third, the price is just right. $10 drop-in. I don't know what it is for gym members. Fourth, don't be misled by the exterior of the building. The interior is larger than expected, and quite clean. Saving the best for last - Omar is an amazing instructor. He obviously loves helping people be happy and fit. He's super professional. He is the nicest guy ever. He's cheering for you, literally, the entire workout. And he really pushes you to do your best. I highly recommend this gym. I'll see you next Saturday! read more

I have been training with Omar for almost 4 months now, and couldn't have imagined finding such motivation to change my lifestyle without him! I remember when I went to talk with him the first time, I was skeptical because I've never had a personal trainer. But he dove right into finding out what sorts of goals I had, and was genuinely excited to help me reach my goals. Not just in terms of weight, but to get my body to an activity level where I can start exploring all the things I've always wanted to do! He's very in tune with my goals, abilities, and how far I can be pushed - always further than I would push myself. I leave every session amazed that I was able to accomplish whatever we were focused on. He is the perfect trainer for me and a great motivator--I highly recommend Omar to anyone who's looking for someone to believe in them, push them and get results! read more

This is one of the best personal trainer around! I have been practicing mixed martial arts for over 16 years and I have been living in Bay Area for almost 10 years and I trained with personal trainers here and there but Omar have been showing true love of what he does...Passion is something that he have and a very positive atitude of what you are working on is something that he have in a plus perspective!If you are a professional athlete or just a regular person that just wants to get fit for life and do something challenging in your life-Omar is a guy to call if you are serious about working out! read more

I came to Functional Core Fitness to see if Omar was able to fix my body after many years of professional fighting and my most recent neck injury. He was able to point out all my problems and set a plan to heal me. It was a lengthy process that was at times, difficult for me. But, with Omar's positive outlook and his coach's attitude we were able to reach my goals, that became our goals. I am now healed completely and continue to see him regularly for strength and conditioning training. Omar is so professional and will never let you think a negative thing about yourself. If you want to improve your overall outlook on life mentally and physically, Omar is the person to help you achieve that read more

I began working out with Omar last fall after a long hiatus from the gym and working out in general. My goals were to not only get back in shape, but this time around to do it as more of a long term lifestyle change, not just a quick fix. Omar not only creates a unique workout plan catered to each individual, but he also provides nutrition and diet tips, different stretching techniques and anything else you may need to achieve your ultimate goal. While your body may ache like nothing you've ever felt in your life, in the long run, it is well worth it! read more

This is the best gym in Bay Area. They have an excellent combination of space and high technology equipment mixed with excellent professionals 100% focused on you. I am a World Wide manager that travels a lot with crazy working times and the standard lower back problems coming from planes and long nights working in front of the laptop . Usually I pay the first month at gyms like 24x7 and I stop going after few weeks. Well, I started my training @ Functional Core last February and I have been motivated during almost a year . The reason is very simple: "They are Professionals". read more

Just got my @$$ kicked! First session and it was awesome. This place has a beautiful vibe. Learned a lot about diet, energy, stamina, and a lot of other factors that go into complete fitness and health. Go hard or go home. Looking at others who are in much better shape here motivates me to be on their level. Good music playing, variety of equipment for different workouts and a overall positive vibe. I see you summer 2017. read more

I am an international student and omar is my first personal trainer. I try this because i just want to stay healthy and keep a good body shape but i never thought i would gain so much more than this. After half a year of training, i am not just in a good shape but i improved my endurance in both mentally and physically. I was a boy who never do exercise and easily want to puke when i start to sweat a half year ago. Now, i ask for more. I can do a whole hour exercise and have a balanced diet with the help of Omar. He always motivates me and helps me to reach my goal. It is worth to have a try if you really want to stay healthy. read more

Omar is an EXCELLENT trainer. If you're looking to get in to shape, stay in shape or push yourself to the limits for an upcoming fight he's the guy to go to! read more

I have been training with Omar for the last 3 months to both improve my physique and increase my real strength (not just glamour muscles). As a result ever person I know has commented how much better I look. In addition, I feel incredible. I used to greet every day with 2 cups of coffee and then another around 11:00 am. Now, most days, I just take a morning shower and hit the day full stride. I met Omar because I compete in jiu-jitsu. Recently I competed in the advanced open-weight division. I have only been training for 3 years now and all of my opponents had over 8 years of training each. However I was able to completely dominate them. In fact none of my opponents were able to score a point on me. One of the main reasons is the training we have been doing over the last 3 months. Thanks to Omar I was significantly stronger and fitter than all of my opponents. As a result I has able to physically dominate people whom I would have quickly lost to otherwise. My fitness was so strong that after I returned from the tournament I grabbed my girlfriend and my dogs and went for a hike. Omar is a fantastic personal trainer who will not only make you look better, but will also make you feel healthier. You really can not do any better than him in the bay area. read more

I had the privilege of working with Omar to rehab a leg injury. 8 weeks prior to my very first Tough Mudder event I got a grade 2 strain in my calf muscle. The first thing that came to my mind immediately following the injury was that there was no way i was going to be able to participate in the TM event and my planned 35 miles of hiking in Zion. I was fortunate enough to have met Omar whose approach to rehabilitation was far superior to what my doctors recommended. After six weeks of stability, strength, and power training I was able to run 3 miles without any pain. This gave me the confidence that I could complete my training for TM. I was able to successfully complete TM and all obstacles, along with the planned hiking in Zion, with my calf feeling stronger than ever. I really enjoyed the time I spent at the Functional Core Fitness studio during my rehab sessions. The studio is very clean and well organized. All the trainers I met are very friendly and always offered words of encouragement along my path to rehabilitation. The crew at Functional Core Fitness has created a very fun, inviting, and challenging environment for all. I highly recommend Omar and his staff to anyone who is looking to achieve their next fitness challenge. read more

I started working with Lissy in July or August of last year and continued until I unfortunately had to move away for work. The gym is a small independent gym but it has everything you would need - a great variety of equipment. Lissy is great, I feel very lucky to have found her. She took care to go over my goals and spent time designing new workouts every week. No two were the same! She also pushed me not to wuss out on exercises that were harder for me, which is the goal, right? To get better. Lissy and the owner, Omar, are really interested in exercise science and keep up on new equipment and techniques. Whatever your goals Lissy will get you there. I highly recommend! read more

I have been working out with Omar for a few years now. Omar is a trainer totally committed to his clients goals. He starts with planning a workout that will obtain the results of his clients. He then provides the driving motivation pushing you to achieve that last 15 seconds, that last rep, the ability to know your mind gives out before your body, and the power to push through. Omar helps us get results. I'm proud to not only call Omar my trainer, I call him my friend. For the ability to Define Yourself, Omar and Functional Core Fitness is the answer. read more

I am so grateful that I met Omar on a friend's recommendation. He is one of the best trainer I had over the years. His knowledge of human body and techniques to improve mobility, strength and physical well-being is outstanding. I love his boundless and inspirational energy, encouragement and constant attention to help me maintain proper exercise form. His creativity in ensuring that every workout session is novel and fun is truly exceptional. He is always tuned in to create a workout that feels like the best value you can get for your money. read more

I have been working out with Lanthany at Functional Core Fitness for over a month now. I love my trainer and this gym. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. I have never felt self conscious or intimidated. I am sore for days after my workouts and I have already lost weight and inches. If you want a great workout, individual attention and friendly staff, this is the place to go. Trust me, you won't regret it! read more

Wow! I thought I was in shape from going to the gym by myself, outrigger paddling three times a week, and going for a jog every now and then. Boy was I wrong! After the first round (2 more to go) of circuit training I was warmed up and loving it! After the second round I was huffin and puffin! I was going to sit the last round out since this was my first time, but I decided to push through. I am glad I did. Even though I was sooooo exhausted I felt that my workout flame was rekindled. Omar is awesome, patient, and tough. :o) I definitely needed that push! Cant wait to go back. read more

Omar Lim is an amazing person and an amazing trainer. He is intuitive, knowledgable and doesn't miss anything. I highly recommend Omar and Functional Core Fitness. Omar will change your life! Go for it... read more

A couple months back my cousin and I decided to work out with Omar to get our bodies back into shape. Our goals were challenging, but we were very committed. When my cousin and I both hit our goals, we asked ourselves how we think we did it...we both concluded that without the support and constant push from Omar we couldn't have done it. Omar is a driven, motivated, and healthy person that pushes you to be your best in everything you do{fitness, life, family, etc.} He is not only a great trainer but a great friend that mentors and guides you to obtain your goals. I have recommended Functional Core Fitness to my family, friends and strangers and now am recommending it to you! read more

My wife and I have been working with Lissy for the last few months and it has been an awesome experience. I have never worked with a trainer before and she has exceeded both my wife and my expectations. I really like the low key atmosphere of the studio and focus on functional strength training. I have IT Band Syndrome from cycling and the training program she has developed for us is delivering awesome results. I would definitely recommend Functional Core Fitness and Lissy. http://www.functionalcorefitness.com/lissy-stalter/ read more

Omar is the best trainer you can ask for. I have been taking 1:1 sessions and attending his group classes for about a year and I have never felt so good. I've always been in pretty good shape and play sports frequently but after all these years I realized the gym is not enough. You need someone with the experience and knowledge Omar brings. Not only do I feel like he has got me in much better shape but most importantly the back and neck pain I dealt with most of my adult life is pretty much gone. I highly recommend Omar and Functional Core Fitness. read more

Omar is amazing.. not only a genuinely nice person but very knowledgeable of every aspect in personal training and nutrition. I have been working with him for almost 2 months and have made significant improvements in my physique, conditioning and cardio. As a competitive fighter Omar tailors your workouts to improve your weaknesses and to make your strengths even stronger. He came highly recommended and he has not let me down. Every session with Omar my body is pushed and challenged as every workout is different. Exerices I didn't think I could do, he makes me try and I CAN do them. Its not to often that people believe in your abilities like he does. People often ask whats the secret and I say OMAR!!!! read more

I'm mainly reviewing my trainer, Omar. I'm not a gym person so it is hard to rate the gym itself. The more important aspect I feel is the trainer(s) that you work with. I have had the pleasure of working with Omar for quite a few years now. I have had other trainers before and none yielded any results. They were quick to let me off the hook if I didn't feel like working out. Not Omar. Initially he would come to me with all the equipment which took any chance of me blowing off a workout out of the equation. Now I gladly drive to him. He makes working out as 'fun' as it could be. He is very knowledgable about the body and how it works so if you have an injury, he can work around it. If there is something he doesn't know, he will find out about it and he is very thorough. He is also great at mixing up the workouts so i don't get bored. We do all kinds of things from circuit classes to swimming workouts to playing tennis even. If you want to be in the best shape you can be, this is the guy to do it. read more

Omar has been great. I have been working out, coaching, and competing in sports my entire life and at 50 have built up some injuries especially in my shoulders. Omar has been helping me work out and work through a lot of scar tissue. he is like half personal trainer and half physical therapist. In my 25 years going to the gym I have seen many personal trainers and have never been too impressed with them nor have I had any great desire to work with one. I know how to work out and don't need some Ra Ra personal trainer just moving me from machine to machine. Omar is not like that he works with me on exercises specific to my needs and he is very good at finding my weaknesses. He is very vigilant in watching me do the exercises and making sure they are done correctly. He is extremely knowledgeable about the body and what needs to be done for each body part, and knows and has many different kinds of equipment so workouts don't get stale. Omar's workouts are helping me stay fluid in my movements and just simply being able to perform typical daily movements without those little pains here and there. The name "Functional Core Fitness" is very accurate. it's about working out to be physically fully functional as well as in good shape. read more
