My wife and I (both 81) have been going to this personal trainer (Ibrahim Gueye) for perhaps 12…read moreyears or so. I played a lot of sports when younger, and served as a paratrooper, so at 68 my knees and hips were pretty shot. I started with Ibrahim at 24 Hour Fitness when I could not walk downstairs at all and could barely struggle up one stair at a time. Within a few years I was going up and down two stairs at a time, and now my wife and I are in better shape (whole body) than we were 30 years ago. Ibrahim isn't one of those trainers that's talking on his phone during a session - he's watching how the client walks, balances and moves, and has thereby picked up and corrected numerous things that I wasn't even aware were putting unnecessary stress on parts of my body during everyday routine activities. He's also assisted us with nutritional advice, is a very knowledgeable and talented massage therapist, and a heck of a nice guy. I've worked with several individual and large franchise gyms over my lifetime and Nomad is the top of the class!

Highly recommended!

Danny has been helping my group of 3 women (ages mid sixties to mid seventies) for over 10 years…read moreto keep moving, improve balance and get stronger. During that time, one of us may be in recovery mode from surgery. He manages to keep us all pushing our boundaries while being very informed on how not to re-injure ourselves. He makes it fun, it is different every week and he is very informed when we ask why we are doing a certain exercise. I personally think he is amazing and I'm very grateful he keeps me positive. If you are younger have no fear he will push you to get stronger and stronger...it's a talent to work with a wide range of abilities and do it well..that's Danny..... Ramona

I first got a chance to connect with Nate while he was working in San Francisco; so happy to have…read morehim in the East Bay now! If you are looking to improve your fitness, health and life look no further-Nate is your guy. Nate has a fascinating personal background which always makes for a fun conversation. More importantly he has a really strong understanding of what it takes to be healthy and fit. He will customize a program and approach to fit an individuals needs and goals. His calm collective and friendly personality coupled with his deep knowledge base of fitness and health make him an ideal partner. My previous experience with trainers focused on pushing the limits of the body which for me resulted in injuries, fatigue and countless weeks in recovery which was very counterproductive. Nate has opened up my eyes to a different approach, one that focuses on the individual and how to works hard and smart to achieve your fitness goals. I don't write many Yelp review....but without reservation I recommend Nate as a valued partner to achieve your health and fitness goals!

As a professional log roller, it was important for me to have a trainer that approached my workouts…read morewith an understanding of the dynamics of competition and keeping my body injury free. I loved Matt's unique approach to our workouts with the use of clubbells, yoga, and mobility work! Since he wasn't familiar with log rolling, he took the extra time to analyze competition videos to more fully understand the subtleties involved in the sport. He did an exceptional job of tailoring all of my workouts specifically for log rolling and trained my body to fire important muscles properly. I was so impressed with Matt's passion and positive encouragement during our sessions! He was completely invested in my success and knew exactly how to push me when I needed it. He helped me get in the best shape of my life and gave me the physical and psychological confidence to win the 2010 World Championships. He was the best training partner even though he never stepped on a log with me!

Matt Tripp is one of the best personal trainers in the City. I know him from Stanford University,…read morewhere he was a freaky student athlete. I have paid to train with Matt twice a week for more than a year and followed his advice and the results speak for themselves: I look and feel a decade younger, even though I am a trial lawyer with a super-busy schedule. Matt is extremely articulate and knowledgeable and "technical." He has been mentored by world-renowned personal trainers, and he is on his way to becoming famous himself. Call him before he's too busy to take on new clients and you'll see superb results!

I had done some bodyweight fitness but was otherwise a totally inexperienced gym goer who was…read morelooking for some guidance on good form starting out, plus some extra motivation. After an intro call where Nick explained the format and gym (flexible session plans, private gym, validated parking), he matched me with Ada as a trainer. Ada has been a blast to work with. It's been a few months and I've been making great progress feeling stronger and more in tune with my body. She's very attentive and really listens to your goals and desires (strength and coordination for myself) in creating a program for you, and she made me feel totally comfortable and supported when I told her I had no idea what I was doing. I feel much more confident with her showing me the fundamentals, as well as how I should adjust to correct errors in my form to keep me from getting injured. She is a perfect mix of fun and encouraging such that I'm always looking forward to my session each week!

I can't say enough good things about Ada. After having my second child my body was just not…read morebouncing back like it had after my first pregnancy. I came to NuFitness trying to get stronger and more toned. From day one, she's been incredibly attentive--really listening to my goals, checking in on how my body feels, and adjusting workouts based on what I need that day, not just a generic plan. Every session feels intentional and personalized, not rushed or repetitive. Most importantly, I can genuinely see and feel progress. I'm stronger, more confident, and finally on a clear, sustainable path toward meeting my fitness goals. If you're looking for a trainer who's supportive, knowledgeable, and truly invested in your success, Ada is the one. Highly recommend!

Coach Jackson is everything you want in a trainer! Someone who is passionate, knowledgeable,…read morecreative, patient and supportive. This man has a tremendous amount of integrity, and this means that he will provide the best service to you. When I called coach, I told him I have physical and health limitations.

Coach Jackson is the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. If you are considering hiring a trainer call him TODAY!!!

In the 2 months that I have been training with Desmond, my strength and technique have improved tremendously and I have seen large changes in my physique. I would definitely recommend Desmond for anyone who wants to get into lifting properly.

I started working with Desmond last fall to learn strength training as a way to improve my yoga…read morepractice and establish a more robust exercise routine. Desmond's training philosophy is all about building sustainable, lifelong habits for health and happiness through challenging but flexible fitness routines (powerlifting, kettlebells, TRX, etc.) with a focus on mobility, proper form, meeting people where they are, and a good dose of humor. He's constantly learning more about health/fitness, practices what he preaches, and offers lots of tips and recommendations during & in between training sessions. When I started lifting, I couldn't squat the 45-lb. barbell with proper form and could barely walk after trying deadlifts for the first time (ha). Within 3-4 months of training with Desmond, I was squatting and deadlifting my bodyweight, benching and pressing with proper form, and could finally do chaturanga (yoga pushups)! I was leaner, looked forward to my 6 am workouts, and saw big improvements in my yoga practice (hello, balances, binds, & backbends, oh my!). I was delighted to realize that through working with Desmond, I'd 1) found a new passion in lifting and 2) transformed how I saw myself: I was capable of being strong and loved the joy + challenge of exercising. Another testament to Desmond's skills: After I'd been training with him for a few months, my husband saw how much happier and healthier I was and decided to work with him too. Still going strong! I highly recommend Desmond to anyone seeking a skilled, challenging, fun, and compassionate personal trainer to support their health and fitness goals!
