I found Gerard through Bark and met him, did the assessment and signed up for a package. He then proceeded to change the date of our meeting times twice (once on the actual day), and he completely didn't show on another time and claimed we had agreed on a different time but I sent him a photo of our text exchange to prove we hadn't. I believe in giving folks chances, but this was the third time of flaking and at this point I asked for my money back. He was ok with that and claimed he'd send me a check. Then a week went by. Then two. Then two more. He said it "got lost in the mail"--I waited another month. He still claimed he'd drop by with it and he never did. Eventually, I had to file a claim with my credit card company to get my money back. The owner of the gym even asked Gerard to leave because he's done this to other people too.

When the number on your scale is higher than you'd like - it's time to join Team Tully…read more When your old jeans don't fit the way they used to - it's time to join Team Tully. When you look at recent photos of yourself and your head look larger than usual - it's most definitely time to join Team Tully. I never thought that I'd ever need a personal trainer (let alone, write a review of one). But guys, let's face reality - when you hit your mid to late 30s, your metabolism doesn't work the same way it did when you were in your 20s. And if you don't maintain a proper diet and exercise regime, those excess pounds will add up in no time! Chris Tully came recommended to me by a co-worker/friend. She had trained with him at the Lark Stairs for 3-4 months and lost over 30 lbs. And then another friend of mine (who's preparing for October wedding), started training with Chris and was singing his praises. So after a good look in the mirror and my waist-line, I finally made the decision to give him a call. And 3 months later, I'm so glad that I did. Chris has a training circuit that he calls "StairCross." No, it's not CrossFit. Trust me, I tried CrossFit and didn't like it. While I respect the folks who train with CrossFit, I've seen way too many people get injured from it. Plus, the over all mentality behind the program felt a little cult-like at times. But what ever... to each their own. StairCross is a one-hour interval training work-out that combines cardio (running up the Larkspur Stairs) with resistance training (push-ups, sit-ups, dips) and stretching (lunges, elastic bands, etc.). There's no need for gym equipment here. With StairCross, nature is your playground/gym. The Larkspur Stairs and nearby Madrone Canyon (across from the Tavern at Lark Creek) is the perfect setting for your work-out. You get a nice of sunshine and shade. It's not too loud or crowded (however, you might run in to the occasional squirrel or neighborhood cat). What really appeals to me about StairCross is that you're always mixing things up while keeping your heart-rate up. And so the hour goes by in no time. And in that time, you certainly sweat a lot and burn a bunch of calories. Chris is a natural-born trainer. He certainly practices what he preaches. In fact, he does most of the circuit training with you - so it's like having your own work-out partner as opposed to some angry drill sergeant yelling at you to drop down and 50 push-ups. Chris is sensitive to your personal limits. He understands that every person has their own pace and physical boundaries. It's been 3 months since I started training with Chris, and I feel so good after every work-out (I really do). Sure, some mornings are harder than others, and I would love to stay in bed. But I always feel a sense of accomplishment after our work-outs. So if you're looking to get back in shape with a friendly trainer in a beautiful outdoor setting - I would highly recommend signing up with StairCross: Team Tully. I hope to see you soon on the Larkspur Stairs!

TEAM TULLY IS THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME!…read more I Moved here from Arizona and had free time on my hands and an insecure conscience about my weight and how I was not happy about where I was. Being 20 years old and constantly having weight issues on your mind is just not conducive to a long happy and healthy lifestyle. I met Chris who told me he was a personal trainer, and offered for me to come try Staircross for free to see if it would be a good fit and something that might be able to help me. I was nervous at first because I had not worked out in quite sometime and was never comfortable with trainers. I also informed him that gyms were not my style and that I was uncomfortable being in them. Staircross was a perfect solution, because all training is done outside and on your own pace until you feel comfortable enough to advance to his next levels of training. He has a great way of motivating(NOT PUSHING) you to better yourself through the power of workouts. He also discussed food routines and healthy options so that my workouts would be better accompanied by healthier eating. I LOST 30 POUNDS IN 3 1/2 MONTHS! I went 3-4 days a week the first 2 months and ramped up to 4-5 times a week for the last 1 & 1/2 months of my program. I have never felt more confident and accomplished in my entire life. Chris really knows what he is doing and has been training for 15+ years. He makes the whole experience comfortable and smooth and I am so lucky I was able to find him!! I hope anyone who is looking for personal training, weight loss help, circuit training, or even a basic workout partner gives Chris a call. He has changed my life for the better and I can't thank him enough!

I have been in the fitness industry my entire life. Whether it be playing competitive sports,…read morecoaching and training others, or having my own trainer, fitness is a huge part of who I am. Because of my background, I need to work with a trainer who knows their stuff inside and out, one that will push me, and one that understands the fundamentals of exercise physiology and stays away from the hot, hip, and often dangerous trends. JT was all of that and more. I came to JT with a specific goal and only three short weeks to reach it. Three weeks for a fitness program is like a blink of an eye. It is quick. I worked with him twice a week where he pushed me, encouraged me, supported me, and also made sure I left smiling. Within those six sessions, my strength increased exponentially, my stamina improved, and my mental game took huge strides forward (never thought I would be able to do 200 pushups in a day). Each time I came to train with JT, the studio was clean and he was there ready to go. He never wasted time, and he never stalled while coaching me through the workout. He was organized, thorough, methodical, and prepared. I looked forward to my sessions all week. On the in between days, JT would check in with me to see how I was feeling and how my workouts were going. His love for what he does and excitement for my progress always came through the messages. JT is not a good trainer. He's not even a great trainer. JT IS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH IN MY ENTIRE FITNESS CAREER.

If you've ever lost the better part of a year or more of your life to being laid up in extreme pain, you can probably relate to this as a real concern! Working with John has truly been a blessing in my life! Honestly he is exceptionally knowledgeable, caring and inspirational. I've observed him with many of his clients and he's genuinely amazing in the way he customizes a fun, safe, effective fitness plan unique to each and every one of us... John is never boring and he's helping me to exercise in a way that is challenging me while making me feel better and getting me stronger and healthier all the time... AND incredibly, I'm having a lot of fun while he does it. Training with John feels much more like play and spending time (that goes by VERY quickly) with a friend than it ever feels like "working out". He makes getting healthy and fit really enjoyable! John has also trained my 10 yr old son several times now. My son, Matthew, was addicted to video games and didn't like doing anything physical. Because of John, my son now loves to exercise and play outside... he's so excited to see his own progress as he gets stronger and can do things he couldn't do before like push-ups, pull-ups, planks, jump rope and much more. My son is even showing his friends how to be more active by enthusiastically challenging them to play with him doing push-ups, etc together. As a parent, I can't begin to tell you how touching it really is to see this positive growth in my son. Matt and I highly recommend John Spongberg and Personal Training In Marin to improve your health and fitness in a safe, pleasant & playful way!
