During this time, I've surprised myself by hitting new personal strength records, and it feels good knowing I'm setting a healthy example for my son in the process.

The gym itself is spacious and has just about every CrossFit amenity you could ask for. Plenty of equipment, lots of room to move, and yes... chalk! Always appreciated. The coaching was excellent, the energy was high, and the class ran smoothly from warm-up to the final rep. One thing that stood out was the mission statement on the wall about building a community through training, mentorship, and coaching. After spending a morning there, it didn't just feel like words--it matched the atmosphere I experienced. Thank you, CrossFit Silicon Valley and Coach James, for helping make my birthday start with a great workout. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area! ‍

What…read moresets this place apart from other gyms I've been apart of is their progressive programming and the incredible sense of community they've built. The programming here stood out to me when I first joined. Jorge and the other trainers are not just knowledgeable, but you can tell they genuinely care about your progress. Whether its your first workout class, or you've been an experience veteran, they tailor the workouts to suit your level and constantly challenge you to make progress. You have your build days (strength/core focus) and your burn days (cardio endurance) so there is definitely a variety--keeping things fresh and exciting. It's not just about how heavy your lifting the weight. What truly sets this gym apart is the sense of community. The members here are very supportive and friendly, and the more I attend class the easier it's been for me to stay consistent. From fitness challenges to different community gatherings (taco trucks, san pedro social, xmas parties) theres always something exciting happening, keeping me motivated throughout the year. The facilities are pretty clean, the gym equipment is updated (brand new sets of kettlebells, new rogue rigs, and rogue weight plates) theres also a second room thats fully equipt with power racks, cable pulleys, FID benches, dumbbells up to 120lbs, cardio equipment. All in all if your looking for a gym that offers a supportive community and excellent programming Brickhouse is the spot to be. The trainers are knowledgeable, the members are like friends/family and the overall atmosphere is incredibly postiive.

I was so impressed that each workout starts out with intentional warm-up stretches followed by the workout of the day with great music and excellent coaches. The workouts are also progressive and build on one another and are always different. This keeps it fresh and fun! The coaches demo all the moves, provide modifications as needed and encourage everyone to be their best. I've been going 4-5x's a week and am 4 months in. My morning workouts have become a habit I want to instill for life. I've seen weightloss results and more importantly, I've become stronger and am lifting heavier than I thought I could. The people are awesome, all friendly and supportive. It's an all around great community and I always feel so good after the workouts! All the latest research points to the importance of strength training and women lifting heavy to prevent muscle loss, increase bone density and thrive as we age! This place provides the guidance, accountability and support that makes that possible. Thank you to coach Jorge, coach PJ and the team at Brickhouse for creating a fun and focused environment for workouts and healthy living. You've got to check this place out and there's no other class like a class at Brickhouse!

I've done a ton of workout classes similar to this and I think it'd be tough for anyone wanting to start working out if they don't already do some level of activity.

Cade was the instructor that taught the class and he came in bringing all the right energy! His playlist was more of a bonus as it fit so well with the tempo of the class. Cade was able to introduce himself and allow all members to adjust/familiarize themselves with the equipment before starting the session. In addition, he recognized the new comers to the class which I thought was a nice touch towards the end which was definitely more encouraging and enticing to come back again. The class itself was super fast pace where you are alternating from the treadmill to the free weights section.

The BIGGEST thing for me is that I've also been able to finish my first half and I'm excited to do more! Mike is truly the ace in your hand. He's the guy you want on your side and he genuinely cares about you. As an example, he helped me prepare for my race by running the coyote creek trail with me on a weekend (his day off). Aside from boot camp, I also come out to track intervals on Tuesday mornings and they're a great way to start the day and improve your mile-time. Whether you attend spinning, boot-camp, or TRX, Mike will challenge you and make it easy to commit to being healthy. He will provide constructive criticism and celebrate accomplishments. Every workout, he gets the best out of you and you will want to do the extra set and add the extra weight! I've been able to reach some of my fitness goals and I credit Mike and Alissa...so if you are in the market for a lifestyle change, definitely give FIT a shot!

He will hand out a schedule of events during every season so parents know which tournaments Smash plans to attend.

Now, I have been a fitness trainer for 5+ years and recently left my previous gym to get more involved at Smash SJ (where my kids have been). On top of being a trainer, I also keep up with my workouts. I have been in bootcamp classes, TRX, personal training, strength training, some kickboxing, jiu jitsu, etc... I started to take Smash's fitness classes; Bootcamp, Strength and Conditioning and Kettlebell. Their selection is endless. Every coach knows what they're doing and they know how to motivate you. However, a big shout out goes to the kettlebell coach Ash. This guy truly knows the mechanism of the human body and has a great vibe and energy. Now on to the great part, for me. After joining Smash, and getting to know their program, the opportunity arose to teach a boot camp class and am also doing personal training there. I really cannot begin to express how much I love it. To put it simply, Smash is the perfect definition of a family environment where everyone truly cares. Thank you to the Smash Family!

I just bookmarked for a couple of years, and I finally visited it. My boyfriend and I along with his doggie were having a day out in Santa Cruz. I told him that we should visit this place so that we can swing on the beach. He was down for it, but once we found the way to get down to it--he said, "No way, I'm doing that." I *did* not let that stop me from going down there to experience the swing though. My boyfriend and his doggie stayed at the top of the cliff and watched me climbed down to the beach. Yes, it was pretty treacherous. Thank goodness there was a rope with knots to hold onto. Otherwise, I don't think I would be able to do it successfully without that lifesaver rope. Thank you so much to whoever secured that rope there! Also, I do want to point out I did this in a dress and flipflops?! Crazy right.. Then again.. I'm crazy, I do admit it. ;) There were a four gals and guys down there chilling. I asked them if there was another way to get in and out of here, but they confirm that that was the only way in and out. I got to swing on the swing and took some videos. The swing looked cool from the photos that I seen, but it doesn't swing well straight. It does swing sideways. Lol... It took me about 7 minutes to go down and about 4 minutes to climb back up. I know this because my boyfriend recorded me. Lol... I'm very grateful that I was determined to do this despite the company that I had didn't want to do it. Years ago I let someone that I was with who didn't want to do it influence me to also not do it when we visitied Alamere Falls so I won't let that happen anymore. If there is something I want to do, it's okay to do it alone when other people don't want to do it. That's on self-love, baby! There is two parking areas. We initially parked in the one right across the post office, but then we follow this group to the other one right next to it because it was closer. We walked across the railroad tracks and found the opening to the climb to the beach. I was sore for a few days afterwards in my legs from climbing the side of the cliff, but oh gosh... It was so worth it!

Not only did the well-designed, boredom-proof workouts make me strong enough to carry significant backpack weight for long periods of time, the training from all the box-jumps, push-ups, squats & much more came in handy on the steep, treacherous slopes. More over, it was important that I protect my injured feet [heel spurs, achilles tendonitis] from over-training and Sheila was consistently vigilant of what I should or shouldn't do. Before signing up, I tried out every other Yelpable bootcamp within 5 miles of Campbell and hands down this was the winner [disclaimer: the timing options, class size suited me better] The music, atmosphere is nice too- everyone is friendly & cheerful.

When I heard about SJ Bodyfit Bootcamp I was really hoping it would be a good fit for me. After not working out for well over 2 years, I was afraid that everything was going to be too hard for me. I'm not going to lie, the first week I was so sore that I could hardly walk, but it felt good to know that I worked hard. The great thing about this bootcamp is that it can be tailored to any fitness level. Most workouts consist of a circuit where we try to do as many rounds as we can in a certain amount of time. It's great because while you are competing with yourself to improve on your past workouts, there are also other people going faster than you that inspire you to push just a little harder. I have been going now for 4 weeks and I am already seeing great results. My endurance and strength have already improved in that short period of time. Sheila is an amazing trainer and it is evident that she really knows her stuff. Every workout is different and Sheila is there to encourage you to keep going when you are tired and to praise you when she sees that you are improving and working hard. The class is very small which allows for Sheila to watch everyone in order to provide feedback and correct our form if necessary. It has been so great to be in an environment where people care that you show up and work hard. The other great thing is that while the workouts are intense they are also short, so we are in and out in an hour. That hour even includes ample time to warm up before and stretch at the end. I would encourage anyone at any fitness level to give this a try, especially if you've tried getting in shape on your own and have found that you need a little extra motivation. I guarantee that you will love the workouts and see results quickly.

With three kids and my own business, my schedule is nonstop, and I finally realized I needed a personal trainer to keep me accountable and help me prioritize my health. I'll admit I was feeling uneasy at first since I don't usually like having strangers in my home (even backyard). I also expected most trainers might be overly intense for my personality. What I really needed was calmness, flexibility, and understanding. I shared my concerns with Zane, and he matched me with TROY. Four years later, I am still training with Troy!! Troy is incredibly patient and thoughtful. He customizes every workout to my abilities and limitations. I went from back pain that could keep me in bed for weeks at a time to now having no major flare-ups for years. The pain is still there occasionally due to the disc bulging, but it's minimal and my quads are now strong enough that I can squat and lift properly. I could only do twice sessions a week - went from simple "good mornings" to heavier lifting, I definitely felt good within a few short weeks. On top of that, Troy has always worked around my "impossible" schedule. I've literally run into sessions straight from Zoom calls and then dashed out afterward to pick up kids. I often start our workouts stressed from work, and his calm demeanor and encouragement leave me feeling not only stronger, but mentally lighter. It feels like fitness and therapy combined Earlier this year I also fractured my knee. When it was only about 70% healed and still stiff, Troy built completely different programs that protected my knee while still helping me progress. He writes a new plan for me every single session!! In four years we have almost never repeated the same workout, so it's never boring. I'm now 47 and feel stronger than I did at 40. I started boxing with him also! I am truly grateful for both Zane and Troy, their professionalism, kindness, and genuine passion for helping people are very clear.

I absolutely love BFT! The workouts are fun, challenging, and different every day, so it never gets…read moreboring. The group classes are motivating and have a great energy. The coaches are friendly, supportive, and always make sure you're doing the exercises correctly while encouraging you to push yourself. I always leave feeling stronger and happier. Highly recommend BFT to anyone looking for a great workout!

This gym is class focused running programs that switch up every few months so someone would never…read moreplateo. Warning the classes can be overwhelming to someone new with the loud music and all the different timers and beeping throughout the class. Suggestion to people to focus on the movement more than the timing. Suggestion to BFT to be mindful of the level of the music. There are small lockers to put stuff away. The location is small meaning there are no showers. They have restrooms and a water station and a small instant coffee station. I prefer small classes and this place is super close to me so these issues are not a deal breaker for me. The staff are super nice. They try hard to build a community building new programs to support clients. They are helpful to show one on one how to correctly complete the movement. I don't know about pricing as this is the first time I have ever had to pay for a gym. They are flexible to pause your membership or modify whatever program you are in. I highly suggest to try at least one cardio and one strength classes before committing.

Energeia Boot Camp

This bootcamp works! I have tried it all - various bootcamps, crossfit, dailey method, cardio…read morekickboxing, good old running, you get the idea. Nothing I've tried gets me in shape quicker than this bootcamp. I was introduced to Energeia through Groupon, and when it ran out, I strayed. Not until I went and tried other bootcamps, did I realize how amazing this workout really is. It's not easy, but it is time well spent, and you will see results. It's a welcoming and motivating setting (good music, nice people at all fitness levels), times and locations are convenient, and Jen keeps class moving constantly, so you're never bored. Take it from a serial bootcamp'er, this one is worth sticking with!

0 stars if Yelp allowed it…read more I replied to a confirmation email from Energeia because I was confused about the meet-up time for my free outdoor boot camp class. Jen wrote back to me displaying incredibly unprofessional customer service. I'm not going to play the "Customer is always right" card because I'll admit my emails could stand to be a bit nicer. However, as a business owner who I assume is trying to gain more customers, Jen completely failed in addressing my concerns and questions. She not only failed to answer my initial question on whether I needed to sign up for a monthly membership account and enter my card information, she also proceeded to repeatedly state that the process is "simple" and patronized me for not being able to figure it out. Even if the registration flow was in fact simple or if I'm just overlooking a step in the process, a brief clarification without condescending tones would've been a sufficient response, especially coming from the Founder and Head Trainer of the business. This is definitely one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever encountered. A career in fitness typically involves encouraging and helping others succeed. And yet, based on my first conversation with Jen, she seems to show more skill in customer blaming than anything else.

Connecting me with the personal trainer Christine was one of the best things that could have happened for my fitness journey - her knowledge, patience, and dedication makes every session feel purposeful and achievable. It's clear she truly cares about my progress and success. The location itself is a huge plus - clean, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. It has everything I need, whether I'm pushing myself harder or focusing on fundamentals, and the atmosphere makes it easy to stay focused and inspired. Thank you again Matt for building a peaceful place for workout and for guiding me to the perfect trainer. I'm genuinely grateful. Highly recommended!

So I write this review in hopes that's there is another person out there who struggled in finding someone and found this review helpful. When I found John I was skeptical of training with a personal trainer. I had been dealing with pain in my groin and my girlfriend had been struggling with lower back pain from her workout classes. John took time to call us and explain to us his plan and worked with us o a fair cost. Since our first analysis we have continued to work with him for over a month now. Going into month 2- My groin pain is gone. I feel sore after every class and no pain. My girlfriend has no lower back pain and her strength is increasing. Not just that our form needed a lot of help. Thank you John for helping us get healthy again and looking forward to continuing with you.

His…read moredetailed attention to form is probably one of the strongest and most useful tools he offers to take your workouts to the next level. John has helped me gain strength in areas I didn't think possible. If we come across some new challenges in my strength and ability, he finds ways to get me on track. He is constantly researching, taking classes and attending seminars to keep up with the latest information on fitness and health. I love that I can actually see the change in my body and my abilities. John always keeps me motivated and most importantly, he doesn't allow me to give up. He is there every step of the way and always encourages you to do better and be better. Where you have doubt, John has confidence which in turn, makes you want to try harder to get there. John is by far one of the best trainers I've had the pleasure of working with and I am excited to see how far he can take me. Thank you, John, for helping me get to where I want to be!
