When I met Betsy, almost a year ago, I had low-energy and needed a fitness/nutrition make-over. She has gently guided me through several obstacles on my journey for healthy living. Without her care and restraint, I would have quit and felt a failure at trying to change my life. Whatever your current level of fitness, I know Betsy can develop a plan that will be perfect your needs!

Betsy Trefren knows her stuff. As a former body builder she is skilled at what matters most with…read moreweight training: technique. You think you've been doing a lift correctly, then Betsy gently tells you to move your elbow an inch back and BINGO you can feel the difference immediately. That's why you get a trainer - to make sure you work out correctly. Her home gym is clean and inviting. She makes sure she is up to date on all the latest types of diet and exercise programs and she'll tell you if she thinks they're right for you and if not, help you plan something that is. She is well versed in workouts plans for mature women (and men) of which I happen to be. Betsy is a warm and friendly badass! Give her a try!

The programming at this gym is unlike any other I've been to and I've been to my fair share over the years. It's not your typical Bro'd out CrossFit where you get injured. They have multiple options - if you want to go all out and do Olympic lifts then they've got you covered, but if you're feeling weak or tired or you're just getting back in the gym then they have plenty of scaled down movements that are perfect for you. There's something for everyone in each work out, every day. The community is unparalleled and everyone there is super cool and laid back - I can't say enough good things about this place. Tons of parties and get together a outside of the gym as well.

As a marathon runner, I was specifically looking to build strength in my legs and improve my mobility to support my running--and she has been incredible at helping me do exactly that. What really sets her apart is how attentive she is to form. She makes sure every movement is done correctly so you're actually targeting the right muscles and not risking injury. I've learned so much about proper technique, and I can already feel the difference in my runs. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and truly cares about your progress. I always look forward to our sessions--they're challenging but in the best way. Highly recommend her to anyone looking to get stronger, move better, and see real results!

She creates a supportive environment that encourages growth without ever pushing into strain. What sets her apart is her ability to help you recognize when and how to challenge yourself appropriately, while always listening to what your body needs. Each session feels deeply attuned, as she not only hears but responds to the signals your body is giving. The result is a balanced, empowering experience that leaves you stronger, more aware, and genuinely cared for. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I have been working out with Sarah for a full year now over zoom and in person (due to COVID). Love…read morelove love our workouts!! She has helped me hit my fitness goals even with a tailbone injury this year. Her flexibility and caring personality has really made her agile with the pandemic and has allowed my whole family to stay in shape over the last year (mother in law, mom, husband). My initial goal with Sarah was just to build strength- now I'm running with my dog 3-4 times a week and deadlifting 145 lbs- I have never been in better shape. Their gym is small but it's just enough room for 1 on 1 or a small class and also has an outdoor space. There's a great variety of equipment and they keep the place tidy and sanitized.

I started training with Sarah in the spring of 2018 once a week to try and help with some extreme…read morelower back pain. I quickly increased my training schedule to 3 days a week because, for the first time in my adult life, I truly enjoyed working out. Sarah and Q trained me for 9 months, following the rigid rules given by my orthopedist (which included no bending forward). Even with limited mobility, the training was fun but difficult and I could see myself improving. After a fractured spine diagnosis and 2 back surgeries, Sarah and Q pickup up my training the minute I was cleared by my surgeon. After only 2 and a half months of working out at Brock training, I was cleared to no longer attend physical therapy. Sarah and Q's training was deemed more beneficial than the time spent with a UCSD physical therapist. My PT and surgeons were so impressed with the perfect form I maintained during my workouts and how thorough Sarah and Q were to ensure I never lost focus on a neutral spine. They are so considerate and knowledgeable I wouldn't have trusted anyone else with my recovery. Brock Personal Training is the perfect mix of experienced trainers, an extremely fun time with wonderful people and a strenuous workout. I will always make time in my schedule (which is the hardest part) to continue working out with both Sarah and Q. Their individual styles complement each other and help to keep every hour interesting.

Working with Andrea has been one of the best investments I've made in my health. She has helped me…read morestay accountable to my strength training in a way that's both motivating and sustainable. Rather than expecting perfection, she focuses on small, realistic changes to my nutrition that have naturally led to better daily decisions and long-term habits. What truly sets her apart is how she shows up every single session. She meets me with compassion and flexibility on the days when life is heavy and I genuinely need to adjust. But she also knows me well enough to recognize when I'm simply making excuses--and that's when she challenges me to push through. That balance of empathy and accountability has made all the difference. I leave every session feeling stronger, more confident, and supported. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and knows exactly when to encourage you and when to push you, I can't recommend Andrea enough.

I came to her after doing a short stint in CrossFit, where I was struggling with hip pain and unable to keep up with the high volume of squats. My goal was to focus on strength training and building muscle. From day one, Andrea really listened and tailored our sessions to focus on building strength and muscle without aggravating my hip. Andrea is incredibly attentive to form, always making sure I'm moving safely and effectively which is a huge priority for me. I continue to progress in building up my strength and I feel stronger and more confident in my body than I have in years--I've lost body fat, gained muscle, and feel like I'm truly training with intention now. Andrea helped me with nutritional guidance, including dialing in my macros to make sure I'm fueling properly to support muscle growth. She also gives me home workouts so I can stay consistent and keep progressing even on days we're not training together. Andrea balances listening to what I want while also pushing me just the right amount. She is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in her clients' success. I'm so glad I found her!
