I can't recommend Matt highly enough. He is patient, thoughtful, and very much a no-BS trainer in…read morethe best way. His attention to form is unmatched. He is constantly checking in, asking where I feel each movement in my body and how I'm doing, which makes every session feel intentional and safe. Matt knows how to challenge you while also reminding you that you are strong. I tend to be my own harshest critic, and he has a way of gently calling that out while still celebrating real progress and wins. His cues are incredibly clear and precise. Because of that, I can truly activate the muscles I'm working on instead of just moving through exercises. I'm a breast cancer survivor and a former marathon runner with significant knee damage. Over the past 10 years, Matt is my fifth trainer, and he stands out as one of the best. I had previously only worked with women, but Matt's style, care, and attention to detail have helped me rebuild strength and control in areas I never thought I'd regain. He is actively helping me rehabilitate function in my knees in ways I honestly did not think were possible. As a result, I'm more mobile and experiencing far less knee and joint pain. MYO Lab itself is also a standout. The state-of-the-art, smart equipment is thoughtfully designed and truly supports better form and body awareness, which complements Matt's coaching perfectly. If you're looking for a trainer who is deeply knowledgeable, encouraging without fluff, and genuinely invested in your progress, Matt is exceptional.

The space has beautiful, brand-new equipment and is the perfect place to facilitate both strength training and interval training, along with advanced diagnostic equipment for serious athletes.

His attention to form and posture has not only helped me continue to avoid injury but has also significantly improved my overall strength and physique.

With his help and personable approach to understanding my current body's limitations, we started working on getting my strength back in my lower back and knee. Eric is super knowledgable about fitness, working with injuries, and is full of great ideas for eating healthy. I found myself looking forward to our training sessions and then finishing them feeling like a million bucks!!! The workouts made me feel more confident, strong and happy in general. I cannot say enough good things about Eric's teaching and motivation style. He's been in the personal training business for awhile now and it shows. I highly recommend Eric Nelson's workouts!

It's been 8 weeks since I stated at Nu Fitness, but it's long enough to give Nick, his trainers and…read morethe facility a positive review. I spent a few days looking for a personal trainer close to work. After some searches on the Internet and Yelp reviews, I started reading reviews about Nu Fitness and Nick. After some positive reviews, I filled out the form and emailed him. I noted my fitness journey to this point in life and briefly explained what I wanted to accomplish going forward. I found myself in a terrible routine, work 12 hours, then heading to the local breweries for a few beers and dinner. Needless to say this didn't bode well for my wellbeing. Looking back over the years, I had gained control of health in my mid-30s, where I lost 40+ pound, gained strength and started running. Running led me to a period in my life that saw me conquer a few 50-mile races. An achievement I never thought I would attempt, hell I never thought I would run 5 miles. Life changed. Priorities changed and slowly I saw everything I had worked hard for slowly slip away. Now age 55, life wasn't getting any easier. I knew I was not very active. I also knew that my daily routine was not one for success. I decided I needed to help make a change in my life, but more importantly to make that change permanent. Previously I joined 24 Hour Fitness (never again) but found too many excuses NOT to go. Sound familiar? Searching Yelp for personal trainers, I ran down a local list in the Oakland/Alameda area. Reading profiles and reviews, checking website, I ran across a trainer, Nick Baltazar. It felt right. I emailed Nick with my story and filled out the form on the Nu Fitness website. It wasn't even a day and I had a response from Nick and we were talking about my fitness journey, where I had been and what I wanted to achieve. He was willing to work with my schedule to get three days of training. After a day of communication with Nick, he connected me with Wyatt. I met Wyatt at Nu Fitness, located at 2345 Broadway, parking in The Hive. Yes, they have easy parking and validation while you are at your session. This makes getting in and out quick and easy. I was highly impressed with the facility, the way Nick had spoke about it, I knew I would be. The work out areas were clean and profession, a small reception area, all Rogue power racks and weights, with room for everyone to work on their fitness goals. Wyatt Berreman, my personal trainer worked with me, after provided basic information from Nick on what I wanted to accomplish. He created a plan specifically for me, tracking my journey, weights and reps for each session. It's been just about 2 months, but its been reestablishing a workout routine. I have a sense of accomplishment, even through I don't see it in the mirror...yet. It will happen. Wyatt has been a wealth of knowledge and has helped create a plan for me to gain strength, balance and flexibility. But also work within my limitations due to previous surgeries on my knee and shoulder. I am very impressed with Nu Fitness, Nick, Wyatt and what they have to offer in the way of personal training. I would highly recommend giving Nick a chance to show you want they can do to help create a fitness plan for your to achieve your goals.

I love working with Coach Nando! I've worked out my whole life but as a nurse, Covid turned my…read moreworld upside down. I was deployed to hot spots and working every day. Gyms were closed, I was tired all the time, and honestly my nutrition went to crap. I gained A LOT of weight. At one point in my life I was very close to competing in a show but that didn't happen at that point. It's always been something I've wanted to do. Once I got back in the gym and dialed in the nutrition I lost a lot of weights and gained back my muscle. I knew I still had a lot of work ahead of me and I would do better if I had a coach. I looked at several coaches, local and remote. After I had a consultation call with coach, I knew he was the right coach for me. I could tell from our first conversation that he would be honest with me and he would push me. I have continued losing weight and gaining muscle with his coaching. I've now competed in several shows, done multiple spartan races, and ran my first marathon. I can say with 100% certainty that I am in the best shape of my life and I thank Coach for getting me there. I'm excited to see what we build together over the next year as I transition into a different division. Whether you are looking for a lifestyle coach and just want to lose some weight, tone up, etc; or you want to start competing, I highly recommend Built by Nando.

After dieting and training on my own for 6 months- (started at roughly 300lbs and came down to…read more235lbs when I saw Fernando)I was exhausted and my body had plateaued. At that point I knew I needed to do something different if I wanted to compete on stage so I hired a professional that came recommended by the local IFBB pro in my gym. From the beginning Fernando not only displayed a level of confidence that was genuine (due to his experience and expertise)but he also is able to pass this confidence on to you as well. I needed this confidence because he nearly doubled my food intake!!! I was so afraid of getting fat again I was starving myself which I discovered once I started following his meal plan. So now I was on a mission to get lean and I was eating more! Best of both worlds! 24 weeks later, checking in every single week, many diet modifications, hitting every workout and cardio session and regularly posing I was able to step on stage at the 2023 Tahoe Show to which I took 2nd in Open Class and 4th in Masters division. I was extremely satisfied with my results considering where I started and the fact that it was my first show! Many thanks to you Coach Nando and wife coach Bere. Both of you were ALWAYS there when I needed you and most importantly for me as a bodybuilding nerd - Nando you always were willing to explain the reasoning behind your approach. This is am forever grateful for because you were not only a coach but a teacher as well! I will have this knowledge for the rest of my life now. If you want to reach far beyond what your mind can imagine for your physique I highly recommend you get on Team Built. You will not be disappointed!!!

I started attending group classes with Mike about a year ago. Mike is an incredibly patient and…read moreeasygoing trainer. His group classes are excellent for beginners like me who just started getting into fitness. With Mike's guidance I've shed tons of weight, gotten stronger and can do things I wouldn't have thought possible before. Best of all, Mike is a great guy! His stories and commentary during class will make even the most focused person crack a smile. And if for some reason Mike's schedule doesn't work for you, you're in great hands with Curtis. His classes will kick your butt but like Mike, if you put in the effort you will see quick results. Still not sure if you should join? Check out the progress I made in seven months. Trust me, you'll love working out at OFC!

We have now become regulars to their zoom offerings and while not the same as in person, having become familiar with Anya and Ashley, they are both very good about calling us out on adjustments to our form or slacking off. What I like most about these classes is that they always offer an option with some at home equipment if you have it (bands, weights, chairs, balls, etc) or alternative options if you don't have these things. I personally prefer full-body days but I also enjoy showing up to class not knowing what to expect. That element of surprise keeps you on your toes. This is probably more of a thing for classpass users as they don't say what the theme is for each class. Thanks Sweat for keeping me somewhat active during this crazy time.

Branden has been instrumental in helping me achieve my fitness goals, and the results have been great! What sets Branden apart is his personalized approach to training. He took the time to understand my goals, limitations, and preferences, and tailored each session to maximize my progress. His expertise in fitness and nutrition was evident in every workout plan and dietary advice provided. Not only did Branden push me to new limits, but he also ensured that each exercise was performed with proper form and technique, minimizing the risk of injury. His motivation and positive attitude was contagious, making every session enjoyable and something I looked forward to. Thanks to Branden, I achieved my goals of loosing weight, building muscle, improving endurance and have never felt better. I am stronger and feel confident. I was training for the Spartan race since February and can say I killed it with his preparation and help. If you are looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring personal trainer, look no further than Branden. He will undoubtedly help you reach your fitness goals and beyond!

I found Najee to be a great coach that listened, was thoughtful, accommodating, understanding, and…read moreflexible with schedule shifts, and had did a fantastic job of getting the most out of me during each session. I started working with Najee shortly after our first child was born, in an attempt to get back into some semblance of shape. My wife had found Najee pre-pandemic to help get in shape for our wedding. After our child was born, we both decided it was time to get back into shape. I'm a professor of Exercise Science, so I have a high bar when it comes to allowing someone else to design a fitness program for me. In my experience, Najee blends a high level of knowledge and curiosity with an impressive capability to read individuals and keep them motivated as they move out of their comfort zone. My wife and I are motivated very differently, yet Najee was able to keep each of us focused while also listening to the feedback we provided about how we were feeling about our workouts, both physically and mentally. Quick example of my results: I'm in my 40's now and after a couple months of focused work with Najee, I was snowboarding with more power and stamina than I had in the previous 10 years. I'd recommend him to anyone, whether you have a specific goal or not (I didn't at the time). Najee can work with you to help find what works best for you.
