I hired Patrick as my trainer to get in shape for a wedding (not mine) where I felt a lot of…read morepressure to look fantastic. We trained together a total of 4 months before my training partner moved back to DC. Here's my report on this adventure. Several things went really well: I started to feel stronger and happier almost immediately. My ass woke up from a long sleep and started looking really fun under my clothes. I looked forward to seeing Patrick even on mornings when I was cranky and tired. (Patrick is really kind, smart, funny and irreverent - all things I like in any human being, but especially one who I'm paying to boss me around.) As our work went on I felt myself have more energy, more confidence and more strength. A LOT more strength. Patrick was also very responsive to my request to find me a training partner, so as to defer the cost of training. He brought me together with this woman B, who is now a really good friend. Hiring a trainer is super pricey, but you get stronger, happier, and fitter very, very quickly. You also get a host of intangibles. I found myself wearing summer clothes confidently and smiling at people more. I met a man walking down the street and now I have a sexy boyfriend. If someone had asked me "How much money would you spend to feel sexy, happy, strong and attract a great man?" I would have thought of a number that was easily 10X more than I paid Patrick. For real. Thank you Patrick!! You are the absolute best. Please find me another awesome training partner!

I've been training with Patrick for only a few weeks now, but I have to say he is as good as it…read moregets. My left knee had started to give me grief, which isn't good since I lead a rather active lifestyle when it comes to my hobbies. Snowboarding, rock climbing, hiking, and jogging are all activities I do regularly - I can't even fathom what it'd be like if I could no longer do the things I love. Rather than just "shrug it off" and assume my leg will fix itself, I talked to Pat about some stretches or things I could do to help ease the discomfort. He recommended I come in for a session and I did. He put me through some alignment tests and introduced me to "rolling" (which is amazing.) Two weeks in (now on my third week) my knee is yet to give me the same grief it was giving me just last month. Overall I feel stronger, more confident, and I've realized the benefit of using my own body weight to develop good technique and balance. Kettlebells were always a strange thing to me, but now I'm starting to get it. They're fun and challenging and definitely different. I've improved my own workouts at my own gym thanks to Pat and am learning all sorts of things about my body. Pat is easy to work with and will cater to your personal needs, and will push you to limits you didn't even know you could reach. I highly recommend him if you're looking for a truly unique and talented personal trainer. I also have to add that Pat likes good music!

The…read moreequipment is top-tier and always maintained so well, the atmosphere is amazing, and it somehow never feels overcrowded even during busy hours. The men's locker room and showers are always spotless, which says a lot about how much care the owner/staff put into the gym. Even the music and overall vibe are perfect, it's one of the only gyms where I don't even feel the need to wear earbuds because the environment itself motivates me to train harder. You can really tell this gym was built with passion and pride, and that's rare nowadays. It became part of my routine and honestly one of my favorite places to decompress after long work days. I've recommended it to friends and always spoke highly of it because it truly stands out from the typical commercial gyms.

The trainers are extremely knowledgeable, helpful and I can personally see the remarkable body transformation their clients have undertaken in just a short time. The yoga room is amazing and always available and I don't do mixed martial arts but if that is something you are interested this is definitely the gym for you. They also have a wide variety of unique classes dedicated to sculpting a particular area of your body (such as the booty-abs class they offer). The staff are always very friendly and are always accommodating and helpful should you have any issues. Located in a perfect spot right in downtown Redwood City I personally tell anyone I know that's interested in working out that Powerhouse Elite is the place to go. I highly recommend this gym.

I appreciate the Off Peak class pricing in this economy, and I tend to book those classes since they're cheaper. These classes are often taught by Krystal and Sunny, and they've quickly become my favorites! They're so patient with newer members.

New location windows completely covered with brown paper and a sign out front saying "this location is permanently closed." There was a door slightly ajar and what looked like people and possibly equipment inside, though I did not get a good look. I pulled the door partially open to go inside and had to let go because of a phone call. It looked like some people saw me. Took a few minutes to end the call, and during that time, I heard someone come up from the inside and close and lock the door. I called their phone number and no answer. Closed business? Moving? Just unfriendly? No idea, but it seems not to be a place to go. Save yourself some time and go elsewhere.

Rich the owner is so kind and tentative and should be proud of the space he's cultivated. Vincent is also super kind and was great in welcoming me to this new gym getting over my first timer nerves very quickly. If you are looking for a space where you can go in and out quickly this is a spot for you. I've never had to wait for a machine. They have all of the essentials for lifting cardio machines and sometimes there's a cute puppy or two. Lots of well seasoned lifters here as well as newbies. Great vibe and place!

I've made many attempts throughout my life - whether it was going to the gym on my own, signing up for personal training, trying different diets, or even doing trials for different types of workout programs like kickboxing classes. Nothing stuck, or it felt too overwhelming. After managing to make some changes on my own when it came to my diet and shedding a little weight, I'm super happy to have found Team Rahsaan to go a step further. My friend recommended their HIIT classes, and I've been attending now for 5-6 days a week. I was afraid I'd stick out like a sore thumb or that I wouldn't be able to keep up compared to everyone else, but I've never feel like that. None of the trainers make you feel like you don't belong or that you cant achieve something, and they even offer alternative methods for some exercises to ease the difficulty if you're still building up your stamina. For the past year I tried to stick to diet changes only to lose weight because I loathed working out, but now I somehow wake up every day at 5:30 am with a little excitement (no lie) to get to these classes, because I feel so good and accomplished afterwards. I'm excited to see where I can go from here!

If you're feeling stuck in your fitness routine or you want something way more personalized than the usual gym setup, I highly recommend checking this place out. It's focused, professional, and honestly one of the best decisions I've made for my health in a long time.

The staff was patient with me and the paperwork was pretty straightforward. Once inside the exam room, a medical assistant asked questions and made sure I was comfortable before the doctor came in.

They talked about a few possible explanations and gave me an idea of what kind of progress to look for. They seemed to weigh out options without sounding unsure. The visit wasn't perfect but it gave me a better picture of what I might be dealing with. The environment was clean and they seemed to care about keeping things running on time without rushing through patients. I'll keep this office in mind for the future.
