My personal training experience with Justin has been amazing. He's very knowledgeable not only on…read morethe subject of strength training, form, and core training, but also helps me understand which muscles we are strengthening and why. I've had a shoulder injury for the last few months and since training with Justin, my shoulder and range of movement has greatly improved. He created an excellent corrective exercise and endurance program for me. At the end of the sessions, he briefly massages the area of my shoulder that was hurting and helps me stretch, which has been a wonderful added bonus to the workout. I highly recommend training sessions with Justin!

She's attentive, knows her stuff, and I learned something new about my own form that I hadn't picked up on before. If you're looking for a trainer who actually teaches rather than just counts reps, Julia is the one. The gym itself has such a good energy too! Clean space, welcoming community, and just an overall great vibe whenever I'm in town. Highly recommend checking it out, especially if you can snag a session with Julia.

I discovered LizAnne completely randomly, and have been with her for over a year now. She is the…read moreBEST. And I've had experiences with several other Pilates instructors, so I have some frame of reference. Specifically: - She knows her stuff. She can explain my body to me better than my doctor. - Her communication skills are off the charts -- this is what really sets her apart, for me. She breaks down complicated issues into laymen's terms on the spot, describes poses using imagery and metaphor (so helpful when you're not sure what you're doing wrong and need a new way to think about the pose), and has a chill yet positive tone about everything. - She's super professional, punctual, great with email and text, all that stuff. - She's just one of those magical people who make you feel comfortable being yourself. She laughs at your jokes, encourages you and commiserates. It's nice to feel relaxed around someone when you're spread-eagle in footstraps! - She takes obvious pleasure in watching you improve, which in turn makes you want to improve more. I was a helpless beginner when I started out, and I'm well into Intermediate work now, and it really feels like we did it together. I cannot recommend this woman more, and the experience she provides. This is what Yelp is for. Go now!

What started as a nagging shoulder pain from skateboarding worsened until I couldn't raise my arm…read moreoverhead. That's when I found Graspmore and met Benny. Fair warning: he will absolutely kick your ass, but that's exactly what makes his approach so effective. The combination of one-on-one care (no PT-aids!), a spotless facility, and exceptional front desk staff (shout out to Heather!) created a seamless experience from day one. Under Benny's expert guidance, I've not only recovered but gained the confidence to push my limits again. More importantly, I now understand how to keep symptoms at bay if issues arise down the road. What sets Benny apart is his commitment to identifying root causes. Those long hours hunched at my desk? Yeah, surprise, surprise...that was a major factor. His curated exercise plan and practical lifestyle recommendations were game-changers. His exercise instructions were so thorough that I rarely needed to follow up, though he was always just a quick email away when I did. While Graspmore doesn't take insurance, the ROI on these visits is easily 10x what you'd get at other clinics that rush you through appointments and send you off with generic exercise sheets. The personalized care plan and lasting results are worth every penny. Six weeks later, I'm back to full strength. Graspmore will keep these old bones moving for years to come, and Benny is absolutely the man for the job. Bonus points: the location on 17th makes it perfectly bikeable! BIG THANK YOU to the entire team!

I have been coming here weekly for a long time (7 years? maybe more). Recent shifts have made me…read moredecide to change studios. One change is that they have been sold to some sort of corporation. A few of the really good instructors left. Second they randomly started changing the classes. A few weeks ago I signed up for a reformer class that mysteriously got changed to a "power" class (much harder, maybe better for me but definitely not what I signed up for). This was the third or fourth time classes had been shifted without notifying the participants. The instructor said she just found out as well. Why? No idea. Also frustrating is that despite the fact I have come here for years there has never been any kind of thank you for your loyalty, hey it's your birthday here's a free class, here's a discount, nothing. It was a small studio that has now become a chain, so the vibe has shifted for sure. I wish them the best and thank them for all of the great classes I've had in the past but it's time to move on.

The price though is over the top that's basically what keeps me a way .Its a little rich for my blood

I grew up in a culture where we bonded over food. It didn't matter what we ate, we just cooked and…read morefed one another. When I went away to college, I realized how unhealthy I was and how unhealthy my family's lifestyle was. So I started changing up my diet and looking for physical activity that I would enjoy. I had gotten up to running 25-30 miles a week in less than a year! Running became my way to relax, unwind, think about everything and nothing at all. And then I moved on to graduate school. Time became the essence. I had none! i stopped cooking, stopped running, stopped it all! Over 4 years later, I found 02 Athletics in February 2010. It became a new commitment, a lifestyle change, and a desire to better myself. The class itself consists of what I can only describe as "madness"! Seriously... People like to be told, "it gets easier". Well i'm a realist and i will tell u that it does NOT! It only gets harder, but you learn to challenge urself to do things u would never imagine tackling! I never considered myself a sprinter, and here I am sprinting with the guys in the class and hanging more often than not. I woulda never imagined myself doing a set of tricep push-ups, not to mention the upside down, one-handed and slap push-ups. Everyday, I feel like I have room to improve, and everyday, I feel better that I have improved! The instructor is an MMA fighter. He loves what he does as a fighter, but I think he loves more the changes he makes as an instructor. In such a large city as SF, u get used to impersonal fitness groups. But James is in it for much more than the chump (and it really is chump) change. I personally challenge u to find a cheaper bootcamp! He will pull u aside, give u tips on ur kickboxing technique, motivate u to better urself, and literally boost ur confidence. He really watches out for u. He also continues to look for ways to motivate you to be a better athlete, a more confident individual, and an overall better person! Bottom line - you know this bootcamp means something more than a work-out when: 1) I've been using yelp for 4 years, and this bootcamp is my 1st review EVER! 2) I now change my work schedule, social plans, and everything in between to make as many classes as I can 3) I choose to hang out with these work out people because we cover the spectrum - different cultures, different fields of work (from healthcare to media to law enforcement to art ...), different skill levels, but we all have one thing in common - we're over-achievers who push the limits! Are u an over-achiever? Try it out, and u'll never look back... NO EXCUSES!

I am writing this review right now as I am in my 3rd week at bootcamp and I hesitate to rave too…read moremuch about it because I still want it to be my little secret! I just moved into the inner sunset so I had to search for a new gym to belong to. I searched long and hard on Yelp as I compared certain gyms in the neighborhood looking at what they had to offer as well as price and customer reviews. 02 Athletics stood out to me almost immediately so I figured "why not" and signed up to attend a trial class. Later that same day, I got a voicemail on my phone from James (the instructor) inviting me to try it out. His voice had the booming quality of Billy Blanks (The kickboxing DVD guy) and the slight insane intonation of Shaun T (the INSANITY DVD) guy. I knew this was going to be INTENSE. If you are ready to be pushed like you've never been pushed before THIS IS THE BOOTCAMP FOR YOU. If you are ready to be apart of an awesomely diverse group of people THIS IS THE BOOTCAMP FOR YOU. If you are ready to meet people who are super cool and down to earth, but who you would NEVER want to piss off in a dark alley THIS IS THE BOOTCAMP FOR YOU. If you are ready to learn how to become one of the people mentioned above THIS IS THE BOOTCAMP FOR YOU. If you are ready to have an ass that someone could bounce a quarter off of THIS IS THE BOOTCAMP FOR YOU. (I'm getting there!) I would not waste my time and money to wake up and get my ass handed to me at 6am unless it was AWESOME. I can't say enough good things about James and the people in 02 Athletics! He truly cares about your progress and the pre-workout texts help keep me accountable!

Before working with RJ, I felt intimidated by strength training, especially in a gym that often…read morefelt like a male-dominated space. Despite being an active person (practicing yoga, pilates, dance, biking, climbing) I had never properly learned how to lift. I tried group strength classes at various studios, including Equinox, but I was never sure if my form was correct or if I was targeting the right muscles. Movements like squats, bench presses, deadlifts, pull-ups, and hip thrusts all felt unfamiliar. RJ completely changed that. He made strength training approachable by breaking down techniques in a way that made sense and reshaped how I thought about training and eating. Growing up I was told women should focus on cardio and "toning" rather than lifting heavy, and because of that I never understood the benefits of progressive overload or proper fueling. RJ helped me unlearn those outdated ideas and showed me that lifting heavy wouldn't make me bulky--it would make me stronger, more capable, and help me achieve the physique I actually wanted. He gave me the confidence to lift heavier and push toward my goals (especially glute growth) and I loved seeing my progress! I also went from zero pull-ups to three in a row. The physical gains were exciting, but the biggest transformation was in my mindset. Now, I walk into the gym knowing exactly what to do. If you want a trainer who truly knows their stuff and will help you feel stronger and confident in the gym, RJ is the one!

I cannot recommend training with RJ enough!! I've been training with RJ and my best friend since…read morethe beginning of the Pandemic (first virtually and now in person) and it has been the absolute highlight of my fitness journey. When I first started I had absolutely 0 experience weight lifting or even going to the gym for anything other than cardio but training with RJ has helped me fall in love with weight training. In a few years I went from using my flip flop for Turkish Get Ups to regularly hip thrusting 205lbs, PRing deadlifts at 205lbs, and 185lbs in squats!! (It would have been a shorter journey without Pandemic restrictions, but I'm still very excited to only get stronger from here ) RJ is such an incredibly well rounded and informed physical trainer that I've never felt anything but 100% confident in every exercise, he really focuses on form and injury prevention and helps you think about your body and it's positioning in ways I've never given much mind to, he really makes sense of physical training in a way I've never experienced before! He's also well versed in mobility and stretching which was really important when recovering from grade II ankle sprain last summer. I absolutely adore RJ as a trainer and now friend, he's such a wonderful person to spend time with that I come out of every session with him rejuvenated and confident, if you're looking for a trainer please do yourself a favor and book a session with RJ ASAP!! If I could I'd give him 500 stars/5!
