I went to four then went…read moreto fitness SF and spoke with Abhi May about my physical condition and he recommended Toni Dee. I started the day before Christmas, never used weight machines like these before and was very uncomfortable. I would think I can't do this. I had no strength, osteoporosis, extra. I Could not get off the floor and it was hard to get out of bed or stand up after sitting at a restaurant. Toni Dee has worked with me, better than my PT, and has been so patient with me, and I had worked up my confidence and strength. If it wasn't for Toni Dee, I could not imagine where I would be now. I think it is important, especially for senior women to start getting in shape before it is too late. It is best to have an experienced trainer like Toni Dee, so you do not get hurt working on the machines without proper form. Toni Dee is the best and I owe her my life. I will keep working with her. Oh, no problem standing up or getting up off the floor anymore. I am getting stronger

You're going to get a great workout at any Orangetheory location and Greenbrae is no exception. Group fitness classes really help me push myself further than I ever would during a solo workout. As a result my fitness levels have improved a ton and I've learned to love the rower. In addition to excellent workouts this Greenbrae location has a wonderful community feel, including member appreciation nights. Coaches are incredibly friendly and helpful. They're happy to modify workouts for you or give you an extra challenge if you need it. If you're on the fence, give it a try! I'm glad I did.

I definitely recommend trying the one-week pass to get a feel for the place. It can get busy between 3-5 pm! Mornings and late evenings are much better if you prefer more space to stretch and work out. It's not a huge gym but it has everything you need for weight training and general workouts. I also love that there are spray bottles and towels available throughout the gym, which makes it easy to wipe down your area and equipment after use.

I want to highly recommend Maria Molina as a personal trainer at the Bay Club, Marin. I initially…read morestarted working with Maria to recover from a knee injury. I wanted to strengthen my leg muscles so that I could return to playing tennis. As someone who is over 80 yrs old, I was somewhat skeptical that weight training could make a big difference in my athletic abilities but one year and half later of training with Maria and I believe I'm more physically fit than I was in my 40's. Everything is easier (i.e., walking up stairs, carrying heavy loads, keeping up with grandkids ,etc.) To say my quality of life has improved due to my work with Maria is an understatement, Maria is a consummate professional. She explains exercises clearly, pays attention to form and keeps sessions motivating and enjoyable. One day when I was lifting weights on my own at the gym, a gentleman commented, "I see that you are experienced with weight lifting, Your form is perfect. You must have been doing this for many years." I give Maria full credit for teaching me the right (safe) way to lift. I occasionally have a few sore muscles but recovery is quick after a workout. Probably the most important thing I've learned from Maria is to believe in myself. Sometimes she tries a new exercise that I think is impossible for me to achieve, let alone master. Her confidence is unwavering and has a profound effect on my mental attitude. I see few women my age working out with weights at the Bay Club. I hope this review will encourage someone who is considering personal training to contact Maria. You will be amazed at what you can accomplish with her expert guidance.

She's not only an amazing instructor, but also a standout leader and role model. She teaches a variety of classes and every single one is top-notch. Her glutes class in particular literally kicks ass--in the best way! --Meg is one of the best TRX instructors I've ever had. Her instruction is clear, her class structure is thoughtful, and the challenge level increases over time, which I truly appreciate. She also provides great options for those wanting to push further.
