I'm a fairly active person (skiing, mountain biking, yoga, hiking, etc.) with a lot of experience working with physical therapists, massage therapists, etc. on improving my physical condition. In spite of all of this, I knew I'd let my core weaken, I just didn't realize how much until I started working with Mina. She slowly, methodically helped unwind some of the key factors driving my discomfort. And, she did so in a way that felt right for me. Even across the interwebs, she is able to watch my technique (aka rolling around on the floor and trying poorly to imitate good form) and give very minute, precise feedback. I have no clue, but she knows exactly when I'm cheating or when I have some pain I haven't even told her about yet. In addition, she has a great holistic approach & asks questions about lifestyle, health, diet, and other activities. My pain may be subsided for now, but I'm going to rely on her to help keep on building until my new habits are instinctive. Highly recommended!

Mina is a breath of fresh air!! She has amazing energy and she always makes my day. I started…read moreseeing Mina to strengthen my body. Like most, I spend my day bent over, which resulted in stress and discomfort. My regular exercise routine was not targeting the specific muscles I needed to improve. Mina was so comforting from the minute I met her. She listened, performed her evaluation, and then did her magic on me. I immediately felt better. I know it sounds weird, but it's true! She uses a technique called P-DTR that's one of those things that you just have to experience to understand. She tailored our workouts to target the areas I needed and within seeing her for 1 week, I could feel the improvement. Mina has been training me for 3 months, and I feel 100% better. I recommend her whole heartily for anyone looking to improve their body. She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind, and just a beautiful person!

I lack the motivation to exercise. Thank goodness I found Nyrene! She comes to my home (I choose to…read moreexercise in my garden) and we get in a great workout tailored to my needs. She is very knowledgeable and professional, but what I love most is her patience and kindness. She is fun to work with even when I'm not in the mood. She works with all ages and fitness levels. She's happy to work over Zoom, at home or anywhere you choose. She is flexible when one day I want to try something different, like staircases and hills in my neighborhood. She is a treasure!

Going to the gym to work with him twice a week very quickly became something I look forward to! I used to struggle to make it to the gym before. I love his unique approach of really understanding me, my goals, and my areas where I can benefit the most, and help me keep pushing without it feeling like a chore. Before starting with Amer, I had some very chronic pain and weakness that stopped me from doing things on a daily basis, it is hard to believe that most of these are gone already now. I can't recommend him enough!

I'm naturally in reasonably good shape due to good genetics, but work has me so busy that I have…read morebeen getting too wrapped up in it, and not scheduling time for fitness. Along comes Angela, an incredible source of motivation, knowledge and energy. I knew all I needed was someone there to motivate and encourage me enough to get past the first few weeks, and that she did, with ease! But even more than that, she's teaching me proper breathing methods, posture and lifting techniques, things I never would've learned or focused on otherwise. She's also having me log my meals in an app so we can track my diet to ensure I reach my goals. Lastly, she even offers live virtual online training sessions, which are super useful due to my busy schedule. I have a gym membership and P90x dvds, so it's not like I don't have access to fitness avenues. I was skeptical to spend money on a trainer, but my goodness, starting with Angela was the best decision I made last year! If you want an personal trainer that will push you to reach goals and get results, look no further, she's LEGIT!

Her nutritional guidance is also helping me shred some of the weight I put on while recovering.

I started to see Norma for plantar fascitis in my feet, which she diagnosed as related to my calf muscles. I went from having a tough time walking, to being totally cured. I see her on a regular basis to address the inevitable aches and pains that accrue in my body. The best part is that Norma travels to locations in San Francisco, and sets up in your home, so it is a easy if you have a busy schedule. She's great with athletes, as she is also a fitness instructor and has many clients that are highly active. Best of all, Norma is sweet and very pleasant individual, so it is always a pleasure to spend time with her. Highly recommended!

This is a review for Norma Larson's fitness classes and personal training…read more Norma's Fitness Fever and Boot Camp classes are really top notch. They are not too tough to make you cry, but just the right amount of challenge to push yourself to your limit in order to get the maximum work-out/calorie burn/muscle building. The workouts are designed to to keep you and your body guessing what will come next. It's never boring and always challenging.I have definitely felt myself get stronger and watched my body change for the better. Norma's personal training sessions are first-rate. Norma's knowledge of kinesiology, anatomy, along with her figure competition experience allows her to craft routines that are tough, not likely to injure you, and will bring results. One of her key features is the wide array of exercises she teaches you that work those "I didn't know I had that muscle" muscles. I have seen results to my physique that I haven't previously and I have been working out for years. I have more endurance and extended energy during my workday where before I would just drag. She has definitely taught me how important strength training is for your workout routine. Besides Norma's personal training sessions and classes being awesome, Norma herself is an inspiration to her clients. She is a well trained, fantastic instructor, who is personable, engaging and a real motivator. Anyone who trains with Norma is getting much more than just exercise with her. Her classes and personal training sessions are the BEST I have ever had.

She is Oakland based and I think charges slightly less if you train in Oakland as opposed to SF. I have been with her for almost 7 months and I have nothing but good things to say.

If you are considering hiring a personal trainer - call her today and pray she can squeeze you into her schedule. You will see and feel the difference.

Not only is her fitness knowledge immense, but she is also extremely encouraging and truly cares about your total well-being. Most importantly, she really pays attention to what injuries you've had and will tailor the workout to your specific needs. I've been working out for many years and have had many trainers, and none have compared to Arista. She's a wonderful person, a fantastic trainer, and I highly recommend her!

After my mother and father…read morewere treated for cancer, I noticed instability and weakness in my once-robust dad (a well-known side effect of prostate cancer therapy) and my mother was languishing from her abdominal cancer surgery and had residual pain and weakness from a prior knee replacement. I looked hard for a trainer who specialized in working with elderly clients and found Radha - and we all feel incredibly lucky! Not only is she absolutely familiar with elderly clients and their specific needs, she is patient, kind, gentle, knowledgeable and LISTENS. She listened to my observations about my parents' areas of needs - these changed over time and she would again listen carefully and adapt the programs to suit them. She designed for each an exercise routine for the gym and to practice at home. My mother had thigh pain, and Radha found many effective ways to approach pain reduction. My dad had to strengthen his core and also address his longstanding cervical spondylosis - and Radha taught him techniques to improve his hand grip. Radha has been wonderful and inspirational... my parents now go to the gym daily to exercise, thanks to her! Very highly recommended - a gem among trainers.

I've had a couple trainers in the past but none like Anjanette. The combination of knowledge she…read morehas (ie chiropractic and muscle-toning/fitness) really makes your work outs entirely efficient. She knows just the sequences of exercises needed to hit your targets. She is also very personable and patient. No awkward conversations or feeling like you're being pushed too hard or not enough. She is also very knowledgeable re:nutrition and can recommend some great addition resources and specialists. Lastly, she keeps you up on your homework and is also very responsive outside of sessions. Anjannette made me homemade workouts to do on my own and would answer within a couple hours if I had any questions regarding my work out. Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

Get your "CUT and BUTT" with Anjanette! I have known Anjanette for over 10 years and have trained with her for about 2 years. During my time with her, we met once a week, sometimes twice a week, with breaks for holidays and vacations. I saw my arms and body transform! My boyfriend called me "armalicious". I had amazing definition, and even my back was just beautiful! Can we say strapless dresses and tank tops galore? I just really loved how she talks with her gentle yet confidence voice, I was able to focus. It really helps when the trainer counts down for you too! She's so encouraging with my goals, reminding me it's one step at a time and with one foot in front of the other we will be able to climb mountains. Whenever I have questions about an exercise, or how it relates to my muscles, she knows how to explain it so I can understand. At the time, I was very new to exercise and weightlifting. Having her as my trainer was a game changer in my late 20s. She would ask me what type of fun activities I like to do and she would incorporate different workouts to make it fun and not just working out. I love her style of training. She can create an awesome workout even without any equipment, your body weight is enough sometimes. I think the first time I used a foam roller was with her because my body was so SORE!! Then again, no pain no gain. If you are looking for a trainer who's lessons will stay with you always and motivate you, I highly recommend Anjanette Price, she's worth it. You are also deserving of this investment. The time is now!
