It has been an honor to be a part of your fitness passion and journey as a client since 2019. The consistent personal greetings you provide when entering the gym are more than welcoming, they are HEALTH INSPIRING! I am so thankful my wife encouraged me to start working out again 7+ years ago. You have helped me regain my overall strength, endurance, and health as well as contributed to my better understanding of how to work out safely as I hurl towards my 60s. I really enjoy your coaching style of holding me accountable in a positive environment while also encouraging the importance of having fun along the way. All the trainers and clients contribute to the positive atmosphere of the gym which often feels like an extended family! Thank you for bringing us all together at the annual client appreciation parties! Another benefit of the T.T.B. gym I regularly participate in are the bimonthly Saturday morning Yoga classes with Erica Hooper of Heart Luminations! Her classes are an appreciated variation of the dynamic Vinyasa style with a sprinkling of static poses from hot yoga style adjusted to the capabilities of the attending students. A HUGE thank you Teddy for sharing your passion of health/fitness and at times being my workout life coach/therapist! You contribute to the magical experiences in my life's journey! Kurt

They take the time to focus on form, explain the "why" behind each exercise, and always know how to push me just the right amount. I've seen incredible progress in my strength, endurance, and confidence since starting. Beyond the workouts, Teddy's positivity and professionalism make every session something I look forward to. If you're serious about getting results and working with someone who truly cares, I couldn't recommend them more highly!

After years of being away from the gym/working out, I reconnected with Heather. I explained I was…read morewanting to start using weights again, but, that I need to work around my injury, and all the pain around it. She listened, asked questions and right away said she was there for me. She said "see you at 6:30am tomorrow". My first instinct was fear. I had been in so much pain, and working out sounded painful. But, I decided, I'm in pain no matter what, and I'm ready to try. I knew, I could trust her and the years of experience she has. I am so glad I started devoting 1 hour every morning to my fitness health. I've become stronger, even on my injured arm. I've made huge progress overall, and I can't wait to see how much more I can accomplish. My mind was starting to tell me I was too old to be feeling good again. That I should accept all the pain, and all the weight I had gained. Not only has Heather been there as a coach in fitness, but she's been there as a coach in my overall being. And I will continue to show up. I also want to add, Every morning I walk in there, I am greeted by all the trainers who are present. As well as their clients. It's welcoming and fun.

The no-class-time model is incredibly efficient for a busy schedule; I never have to stress about a clock, I just show up and get to work. What makes this place truly special, however, is the warm and inclusive atmosphere: A Personal Touch: From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by name. There is a genuine culture of kindness where members cheer each other on through every round. Celebrating Milestones: One of my favorite parts is how we celebrate each other's progress. Whether it's a 100-workout milestone or a 500-workout achievement, the trainers and members make sure your hard work is recognized. Expert Coaching: The trainers are the perfect blend of professional and encouraging. They provide expert technical guidance while ensuring you feel motivated to push past your limits.

Thank you, Mosi for everything!…read more I Lost 70 Pounds - and Gained a New Life I never imagined I'd be that person--posting a before-and-after photo and telling my story. But here I am, 70 pounds lighter, and a completely different person inside and out. My journey started in the most ordinary way: I was tired all the time, out of breath walking up stairs, and I avoided mirrors. At 230 lbs, I knew something had to change--not just for how I looked, but for how I felt mentally and physically. The turning point was a photo from a family gathering. I barely recognized myself. That was the moment I decided I deserved better. I reached out to Markos, and then my journey really began! Fitness became my therapy. I started strength training and added cardio a few times a week. Some days were incredibly hard. Progress felt slow at first, but I held on. And suddenly, I noticed it: clothes fitting looser, energy increasing, and even my skin glowing more. In just under a year, I lost over 70 pounds. But the number on the scale isn't the best part. I've gained confidence, better sleep, fewer aches, and a deep respect for my body. I can chase my kids around, hike without stopping every few minutes, and actually enjoy buying clothes again. If you're reading this wondering if it's possible--it is. You don't need to be perfect, just persistent. I'm living proof that with commitment, support, and a little self-belief, you can completely transform your life.

I usually go in the mornings with Coach Ines who is awesome! Nights with Coach Ceci is great too. Her aerobics classes makes me feel better about myself AFTER the class. Not during. lol. I love how they have monthly challenges. Also give away for 50,100,250 visits etc. It is a nice incentive to get you going into the gym! They have so many different classes too. Not just CrossFit. Olympic lifting, aerobics, boot camp, and more. Ruth, the owner, is always so helpful whenever I need anything. Also, she is so damn hilarious too! Only wish they had a bit bigger gym. Sometimes it can be tight if it's a bigger class. Also parking can be hard too.

Warm, knowledgeable, and she's led me to remarkable improvement in a very short time. My body has been totally transformed because she's great at working all the muscle groups. I have some health issues, and she tailors our sessions to address my unique needs. Plus she's super fun and makes the workouts go by quickly. Then there's Ray. He's also a trainer, but I'm singing his praises as a masseuse. He *fixes* me. He's both extremely knowledgeable about the body AND intuitive. He finds the trouble spots - the knots, the tight areas, etc and works them out in one session. It's really what I've wanted from a massage forever but he's the first one I've found who can actually solve the problems showing up in my body. I couldn't recommend him more!

I just moved back to the east bay and started doing the group training again at 5am still very affordable and doable. 5am is so good because I get my exercise in and pushes me to make good choices on food all day long! And pushes me to sleep early. I would give Nore 10 if I could.

Rating: 4.5/5 - this review is based on one class…read more This gym is great for beginners and an older crowd. I didn't realize how much of a gym desert Castro Valley is until today. I'm originally from San Diego and there are plenty of gyms around my area. However, my sister did mentioned she lived in an older more suburban neighborhood. Unfortunately, I wanted more of a challenging HIIT class that you can find at Barrys or F45 (both of which are an hour away from here). With that being said, they do have TRX bands and assault bikes as well as a variety of weights. They also offer beverages between $1-$5. They were also nice to let you use the assault bikes before and after class. I was expecting more of an energetic and motivated crowd but it was more of a mellow crew of retirees and a preteen boy. It was definitely not what I expected in a bootcamp/HIIT class. Nevertheless, it was a great class albeit I felt like the only gym rat there. Earlier in the class, there was some confusion (partially because the trainer was also teaching people online) but he was able to modify some of the routine so most of us understood what to do. I never expected wanting to do more after a workout but this is a great class if you want to be challenged but not physically exhausted. I also recommend a voice amplifier and more prompts (i.e lift your arms above your head, etc) for the trainer as there was some confusion (maybe due to the music, his low tone or lack of prompts). Will visit again if I'm in the area as it's relatively close to where my family lives. Parking: Plaza Parking Recommendation: They have a first timer special - 3 classes for $50 that includes personal training but I would check online or in person to make sure that it's accurate. They also offer open gym to those with classpass!

I have multiple injuries and body issues that make it hard to work out. I was always injuring myself the moment I tried to do weight training on my own. With Awesta I give him feedback on when something is challenging or exacerbating an issue--I'm learning good form to avoid injuries. He is always responsive and finds modifications so I can stay engaged the entire work out. I also find it more affordable than I expected. I don't do the group classes though they look great, it's a bit too advanced for me given my limitations. Being in there a few times a week, I watch the entire staff cultivate a warm, welcoming environment where you/they say hi to everyone who walks into the space. It's also very diverse. I'm talking both staff and members, culturally, age-wise, body types, genders--no one ever makes you feel you don't belong there.
