I had a negative experience with this summer camp in SF, mainly based on their aftercare service,…read moreand the general immaturity of some of the staff, including the regional manager. The biking portion of the camp is top notch, and the kids are taken all over the city on different expeditions each day. However, if you sign up for aftercare, your kids are left to fend for themselves. Normally this is fine, but the camp uses public SF parks with minimal private facilities. Because of this, if any unsavory characters turn up to the park, the staff don't know how to react or escalate. One one day when I went to pick up my children from aftercare, they were 5 and 8 at the time, there was a gentleman swinging a golf club around the children's play area with great speed. Nobody saw fit to ask him to leave as he whacked his club close to the young children playing. I intervened and asked him to leave the park, at which point he got verbally abusive and charged at me with his golf club. This whole incident was quite shocking for all concerned (see attached photo for the perpetrator). My complaints over this situations with dealt with scorn and condescension by the SF general manager, Tyler. Happily, the owner of the camp was more level headed, and listened to my concerns. I was still surprised to hear that the camp owner and GM didn't know that adults are not allowed in SF children's parks when not accompanying a minor. This is a basic local law to enhance kids safety in SF. In summary, I cannot recommend this camp as I feel there is not the appropriate level of adult supervision required, at least at the SF camps.

I had the great opportunity to train with Simon over at Live Fit on Valencia for a few months…read more Training with him was one of the highlights of my week. He has excellent fitness knowledge and he also has a knack for mixing things up. He is pretty supportive in terms of getting to know what your goals are setting you up to meet them. I told him I wanted to bulk up and he was completely honest with me: "you've got to start consuming 3000 calories a day, son." Although I still haven't started such a glorious diet (I've been busy), I plan on it because I trust in him that that's the only way I'll grow out of this little frame. Give Simon a shot. You'll enjoy it!

I trained with Simon for about 6 months a few years ago, and it was by far the best investment in…read moremy health I have ever made. I had not been truly active for almost 20 years, at least since playing sports in high school, and had allowed the years of smoking, bad food, and pretty much every other poor health decision you could make to accumulate into at least 100 lbs of extra weight. Simon was able to get me off the couch, and use my surrounding environment (the many little parks and playgrounds in SF offered so many cool opportunities) to develop some routines for me that were not only doable but actually interesting and fun to do. I have since moved away and onward and upward on my fitness and healthy living journey, but none of it would have been possible without the initial push in the right direction I got from Simon. I will be forever grateful, thank you!!!!

If you're looking for a trainer who's knowledgeable, supportive, practical, and genuinely helps you achieve the results you want, I'd definitely recommend Isaac!

After I completed my first race, we went over my strengths and weaknesses from the race and he fine tuned our program so that my next race was flawless. Thanks to JT I completed my trifecta medal plus 3 additional races just for fun. After a busy year racing I continued to work out with JT to stay in my best shape. We again changed the routine and focused on getting me in the best shape of my life. I continue to use what he taught me in my daily workouts. JT always had a positive attitude, was fun to work with, and kept me motivated. You won't find a better trainer.

To make a long story short, we absolutely LOVED it! I'm a runner and yogi and I still manged to break out in a sweat! The sport of fencing challenged my reflexes which are seldom tested and my legs felt a nice burn =) On top of that our maestro, Anthony, was excellent at instructing and witty with his words. I posted a picture of tonight's event which includes two kids - don't be fooled, these fencers may be small, but they are awesome and adorable! We are DEFINITELY coming back and with a little more skill! En Garde!

He goes out of his way to teach you even if you arrive a little early and clearly knows his sabre fencing techniques. The club has everything for beginners and there's a fencing shop inside the building so if you ever need to get equipment you can check that out. It's a bit more expensive than the cheapest clubs in town but I'm finding it worthwhile for the coaching quality and the people that fence there.

I think, everyone on Old Cañada Road knows Dmitry. If you want to receive professional coaching and mentoring, learn proper cycling skills to cycle fast and far, and improve your strength and conditioning, you won't find a better place in the area. Also, Dmitry loves working with and developing juniors. Bring your kids too. His studio/gym is conveniently located next to the San Mateo Caltrain station. To train, you will need a road bicycle with cycling computer, cadence meter, and heart rate monitor. You, may leave you bike at the studio. I would highly recommend Dmitry and his cycling studio/gym.

This is not a spin class - it is focused individually-defined workouts tuned to your specific goals and discipline, and improves not just conditioning but cadence, power, technique, etc. Even better, you can do it around your own schedule - because its individual workouts, not a class format, you can pick and choose the days and hours that work best for you - that flexibility to me is critical given the variance in my office hours etc. I've been training at Five Rings for about four months now and have seen a major improvement in my cycling performance after having previously plateaued - highly recommend.
