I started…read moreworking with him to strengthen after a chronic stress injury killed my normal running routine... Continued working with him to tone up for my wedding... Kept with him through my pregnancy... And now need him to get back into shape postpartum. What I love most about Roderick is his holistic approach to fitness. If you just want killer pecs, he's probably not the trainer for you. He believes in a balanced full body approach to training where you focus most on the muscle groups that are required for good health and longevity... He'll evaluate your posture, range of motion, areas of weakness to craft the right routine. And he's always mixing it up so routines don't get tedious. He also gives guidance on rolling out, nutrition, sleep habits, stress reduction, etc. since good health is about far more than just fitness. I also really enjoy my time with Roderick... And liking your trainer makes it a lot easier to get in the gym! He has a very calming presence and warm nature. Some of my favorite moments during our workouts are the breaks in between circuits (duh) when we chat about everything from politics & world history to music, parenting, & science (he loves Science Channel).

I can't say enough about Roderick! It's rare to find a trainer who is so knowledgeable, kind, and…read moreinspiring; and also makes sure you end your session in a nice pool of sweat! He was instrumental in helping me loose 100+ pounds over 2 year and getting me back to my college weight! What I appreciate most is that Roderick knows and encourages his clients to focus on nutrition; admitting that exercise is only additive. I hear his voice telling me that "nutrition determines how much you weigh, and training determines how you look at that weight". Roderick is so much more than a trainer, he really is a health coach. I highly, highly, recommend Roderick to anyone who wants to put their wellness as a priority.

We worked together for months, with regular check-ins on fitness progress, tackling potential obstacles, and refining workout plans. I tend to get bored easily with most workout routines, but she put together a great workout plan that varied enough to keep me "on my toes". I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a truly holistic approach to fitness.

I was gaining weight and it was getting our of control!! A wounded healer myself, I needed to work with someone who was strong, confident, and confidential. I was looking for someone who could meet me where I was at and pull me forward. Mahagony provided that. After helping me with creating an eating plan, (which worked,) I was diagnosed with diabetes in early March. At the same time my therapist of 3 years became so ill she had to close her practice. I was on the edge, and would not admit to anyone, even my doctor that I was diagnosed with diabetes, and my blood pressure was going up. I totally ignored the calls to get signed into a diabetes clinic. I never said or thought the words, "I'm diabetic." I told Mahagony I needed to get my sugar down, and that was it! By the end of May, I had brought my blood sugar down from 120 to 69! And giving up the sugar was easy! Mahogany helped me get on a new meal plan, and mostly it was our conversations during our nutrition sessions, (which I booked weekly), that really worked. And yes, exercise. I didn't go to her classes and she helped keep me accountable to walking 3-6 miles a day, which also helped me loose weight. I am grateful!! I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to eat well and live better!

I'm now more fit, energetic, motivated, and more confident and happy overall. Starting seeing results very quickly, in fact; my friends and family have noticed these changes which I couldn't be happier about. Jason is so knowledgeable in all angles of health and fitness and fosters a welcoming, accessible environment. He'll be able to work with you no matter your goals or experience level. I really appreciated him teaching me all about form and providing accommodations for some physical concerns of mine too -- eg helping navigate workouts with some tendonitis I have, and teaching me methods to deadlift comfortably with a shoulder that can sometimes act up from an injury years back. He is very proactive about preventing injury and promoting effective, tailored workouts for all. Jason has equipped his gym with truly the greatest equipment on the island and for whichever type of training you're in, you'll get his undivided attention. Effective, engaging workouts, and never a boring day! On a personal level, you will be enamored with the rapport that Jason will build with you. He develops strong connections with his clients and is an exceptional conversationalist, listener, storyteller, and has an impressively diverse taste in music. Clean, classy, ambient lighting, outrageously tasty water...invest in yourself and GIVE JASON A CALL. Mahalo!!

He was able to offer corrections and adjustments even though he wasn't anywhere near me! I was quite sore the next day despite doing only bodyweight exercises in my living room. He coached me through several exercises I could continue to work on on my own to help with achieving better posture while working at my desk all day and also making just about any basic exercise more challenging by engaging all parts of my body correctly i.e. plank, lunges, cat cow pose. Even if you can't get to the gym, Nick can offer a fantastic session online.

I hope this doesn't offend the personal training community of SF - I'm not saying you're all jerks, just a lot of you. That came out wrong. Oh, you know what I mean. I just finished Joel's 'Running Innovations' program. Two 30 min sessions per week for four weeks to improve running performance and minimize injuries. Joel provides gait analysis, postural correction, and a range of exercises tailored to compliment your running training, with a focus on core stability. I trained for my first triathlon last year and in so doing have tried a variety of books, trainers and methods but none have come close to the benefits I found in Joel's personalized sessions. He uses some innovative exercises that employ the movements you use in running, which just plain makes sense. Ultimately it comes down to performance, and in a short period I've improved my times, and more importantly feel a new sense of control and balance when running. I'm hooked.

He incorporates exercises that have a direct correlation to the muscles used when golfing as well as building overall strength and fitness. He conducts every class with such attentiveness to each person - you feel like you're in a personal training session. The muscle fatigue that I usually feel after a large bucket at the driving range has improved, and I attribute this to the strength and flexibility that I have gained since attending Ken's golf conditioning classes. He is sure to give you a good workout, while ensuring that you always have good form in order to avoid injury. He listens to what your goals are, and guides and motivates. Five stars for Ken. He's awesome.
