Reviews With Photos - The Strength Akademy

I lost a part of me when I was blessed with 3 kids in a 5 year span. Although I did my best to stay active and healthy, it's hard to keep up when your so busy! As soon as they were all in some form of daycare/preschool, it was time to shift the focus back on me! I didn't want to sign up for a gym where no one held me accountable and I'd need to figure out workouts on my own. So I grabbed a friend and said let's see if this personal trainer I found on IG will take us both so we can workout together and get our bodies back! Katelyn was beyond willing and flexible in training us together! We started with her at a previous gym and then watched her build her very own, pink gym! The Strength Akademy is where I have my favorite weekly date with a few girlfriends who I currently workout with. I have been a client of Katelyn's for over two years now and I have learned so much about how to work out and lift weights properly, bringing everything I have learned from her to my home gym, too! I have become much stronger, as I work on building that booty ;) and feel better in my body since training with Katelyn!The gym is super cute and a great space to work out in. Music is always bumping and everything is always clean. I have 3 young kids and lucky for me, Katelyn has a loft space that she has turned into a kid's space! My kids are always happy to join me at the gym if they don't have school- they look forward to hanging in the loft and grabbing a snack from kid's snack cabinet ;) The gym has a stocked shelf full of protein powder, collagen (and others) that you can purchase from. To top it off, the kitchen has everything you need for a protein shake that you can purchase.... and if your lucky, Katelyn will make it for you There are also a few other amazing trainers that work here too and you would be in great hands with any of them!!! If you are reading this, looking for a personal trainer to help you with your goals, I promise you these ladies here will not disappoint!

Something I had to learn was not to obsess over the scale. How I fit and feel in clothing was a much stronger indicator of my progress.

I've been incredibly happy to join the Basecamp community. Their 30 days for $60 deal is what got…read moreme in the door, but after those 30 days, I wasn't ready to quit! The workouts are varied and challenging. Each day of the week is dedicated to a different part of the body (legs, upper body, core, etc.). The coaches are motivating and great at both correcting form and offering variations for moves that may be difficult for people with knee or other issues. Shout out to Coach Euni! Her classes are always the most intense and leave me feeling spent in the best possible way! The front desk staff are incredibly friendly and make an effort to learn your name so they can greet everyone personally. Great gym! Highly recommend!!

Barry's Burlingame was one of the worst first-time gym experiences I've had. (And that's saying…read moresomething since I recently tried 7 gyms in the Burlingame/ San Mateo / Millbrea areas). I showed up 5 minutes early and instead of focusing on onboarding or safety, the staff prioritized forcing me to create a marketing account and hand over my email before class. Nobody asked about **my knee pain** or offered workout modifications like Basecamp or Burlingame Fitness did. I was thrown into a dark room mid-class with no idea where my station was, what weights to use, or even how to start(!) the treadmill, while the oversized class made it impossible for the instructor to notice I was struggling. I had to stop multiple times just to change weights and restart. Change and restart. In the end, I lost the class credit and time. The whole experience felt like corporate lead-generation and profit mattered far more at Barry's than the safety and success of new members.

A friend of mine was looking for a trainer and when I found Adriana on Yelp and saw such good…read morereviews, I decided to join my friend and train with her. I was really impressed with the level of care and attention she gave my friend and I during our first session--I could tell she genuinely cared about meeting our personal health and fitness goals. Beyond that, she successfully demonstrated her expertise in her field...she had asked us to simply walk, carefully watched how our bodies moved, and pointed out the areas where we were imbalanced. After giving us a few mobility exercises, that imbalance was pretty much gone! She definitely knows what she's doing. After months of training with Adriana, I can say that there's definitely been huge improvements not only in my body but in my health. (A note to prospective clients with recent injuries: Adriana not only modified my exercises to avoid re-injury but she gave me exercises to help build the strength it needed). She's changed the way I think about food, and I definitely have her to thank for it. I also never got bored with her! She was certainly challenging and knew when to push us a little harder, but she's so positive and encouraging that working out with her was always more fun than going to the gym. I recommend Adriana 100%!

I started training with her a few months ago, specifically looking for someone who was nervous-system informed. I have a movement background, along with chronic pain and past injuries, and have worked with trainers who pushed past my limits without listening. Adriana is the complete opposite. She's incredibly knowledgeable, thoughtful, and continuously refining her craft. Her approach is grounded in neuroscience and nervous system awareness, which makes a huge difference in how my body responds and progresses. The first few sessions were about truly understanding where I was at, and since then, we've been building in a way that feels both safe and empowering. Each session is tailored and unique. Her studio feels like an adult playground in the best way. I genuinely look forward to working with her and know I'm in excellent hands. I highly recommend Adriana.

I worked with Nico briefly, and was super excited to try online coaching (which I had never done…read morebefore). Nico was super nice in the beginning, but as time passed, he started being pretty rude and condescending in his replies to me. I'm sure coaches are constantly being tugged at, but I don't feel like my questions were stupid or out of line, especially for a newbie. After about 6 weeks, I decided I didn't feel comfortable proceeding with a person who didn't welcome my communication.

I've worked with Nico across multiple sessions and this last one was by far the most challenging --…read moreillness, an injury, and a job loss all hit at once. Despite everything, Nico kept me grounded, positive, and focused. Workouts, macros, water, protein, protein, PROTEIN! He has a way of keeping you in the game even when life is throwing everything at you. This session had a tighter timeline -- I was prepping for a very special family event -- so the approach was more of a sprint compared to the gradual builds we've done in past sessions. Different, but it worked. And the real test? Traveling right before the event -- no gym, couldn't track macros, water intake was a mess -- and I still felt AMAZING. I showed up feeling like the best version of myself. That is 100% because of Nico. He is more than a trainer. He's a coach, a cheerleader, and an inspiration. The tools and mindset he's given me go beyond any single goal because at the end of the day, this is a lifestyle. If you're looking for someone who will truly invest in YOU -- not just your workouts -- Nico is your person.

After my second child I struggled to return to my pre-pregnancy weight. Peloton and studios like…read moreOrangeTheory gave little lasting success, and fad diets were unsustainable. Working with Wayne at Morph Fitness is the single best decision I've made for my health. His holistic, customized approach fits a busy life -- as a working mom and surgeon I didn't think I had time to eat well or exercise, but Wayne helped me prioritize my health. I now have far more energy and feel stronger, which makes me a better mom and surgeon. Wayne's knowledge and passion exceed expectations. He understands the mechanics of every muscle and designs intentional programs tailored to your goals. He immediately identified my poor posture from years in the OR and systematically strengthened the right muscles while using targeted stretching and bodywork to relieve chronic tension. A former physical therapist, he blends corrective work with performance training. Wayne is tough but fair -- he corrects form until it's flawless and gives simple, actionable changes that become lasting habits. His nutrition guidance isn't a fad: it kept me full and energized, addressed chronic dehydration (I now drink at least half my body weight in ounces of water), and eliminated the need for sugary snacks. I increased my daily steps and added targeted supplements. In four months I've lost 10 lbs, dropped under 20% body fat, gained significant muscle, and am down a clothing size. Most importantly, my chronic back pain has resolved, my posture is much improved, and I feel the healthiest and happiest I've ever been.

If you want a trainer who's equal parts coach, motivational speaker, and part-time comedian, you…read moreneed Chermayne at The Fix Studio. She's been my trainer since 2023, and my health has never been better. She's Hawaiian sunshine in human form, always upbeat, which definitely helps at 7 a.m. Her happy-go-lucky energy is so constant I can't decide if she's my trainer or just a very cheerful Energizer Bunny in disguise. She's also dedicated, always learning the latest fitness research to fine-tune my workouts. She helped me get stronger, and now we're tackling weight loss. But don't think it's all serious science--sessions with her are also comedy shows. She'll get distracted, lose count of my reps (always when they're the hardest ), and then showers me with a nonstop chorus of "Good job! Good job!" until I finally give her the side-eyes . But here's the thing: even with the chaos, Chermayne knows exactly what she's doing. She motivates me, keeps me accountable, and somehow makes sweating buckets feel fun. If you want a trainer who'll push you, cheer you on, occasionally forget what number you're on, and still make every workout the highlight of your day--Chermayne's your girl.

This studio looked great and was well-reviewed, so I became a longtime client and even prepaid for a package of classes. One day the studio was very cold -- Parkinson's makes it hard for me to regulate my body temperature -- so I closed the door. I was the only client working out at the time. Moments later, a man violently slammed the door back open in my face. No explanation, no apology. I later learned he was the owner. We adore our trainer, who went above and beyond to help, even arranging a meeting with the owner to address what happened. Instead of apologizing, the owner insisted I had violated the rules. All it would have taken was, "We keep the door open here -- please leave it, and let us know if you're cold." Instead, he doubled down. I trusted this studio with my health and my money. Take yours elsewhere.

When I go to the gym I never know how long to workout or how many reps to do. My prayers were answered when I saw an ad for a 30 minute BLAST class at Anatomy. That sounded great but it was probably going to cost a lot. Wrong again!!!! The class is only $10.00.....really? It is a make you sweat hard workout but the beauty part is its affordable,FUN,and quick. You get your moneys worth and then some. I am seeing results week by week and feeling more confident every step of the way. Our trainer/teacher Francine is very experienced and I feel lucky to have found such a great class. She is also the sweetest and most down to earth person ever. The gym is very clean and its decorated really nice. All in all I am very happy with my experience. 5 Star all the way!!!!
