Follow up review from 6 months ago! During the past 6 months, I have been on a bulking cycle. My trainer, Adam, has helped me gain 10 pounds of overall weight with of which 5.8 pounds was an increase lean muscle mass! In addition, my body fat percentage has actually decreased 0.6% which is amazing. He has helped stay on my nutrition plan. I can't thank WestCA enough for helping me towards my fitness goal and I highly recommend WestCA if you want serious results! read more

Going to WestCA is one of my favorite times of day. Everyone is welcoming and the vibe of bettering yourself is all around the room. I signed up for personal training with Adam Rall and he has been the workout partner that I needed. In 6 months, not only have I regained strength that I only had while playing football in high school, but I've become ever stronger than those personal bests. I still go to WestCA to train and will continue to do so to reach my workout goals! read more

I am the kind of person that does not like working out. It gives me a lot of anxiety and discomfort being around a lot of people that seem to know what they're doing. However, since I started training at WestCA, all of those discomforts and worries melted away. I've been training with Adam since June 2022, and he has made it the most enjoyable and rewarding life changing experience - something I never thought was possible. He makes every workout challenging, and works with you to make sure you're moving in the ways that work best for you. Everyone at WestCA is warm and welcoming, and makes you feel like you're part of a community. If you're looking for a great community to join, and an awesome trainer, I definitely recommend Adam and WestCA. read more

Been a long time follower of Tory ever since the LiveFit days. I was in town for the day and had some time to kill and what's a better way to do that than getting a workout in? Parking was plentiful since there are garages just right across the street. And a few more just down the street within walking distance. The gentleman in the front was extremely helpful and made the process for the day pass easy. Day passes are $25. Restrooms and showers were available. Although there are no lockers they do have a specified area for any large bags. Equipment was plentiful and they have everything you need to get a good workout in. Whether you're getting in some chest, shoulders or legs...they got what you need. All equipment was in great working condition and well kept. All staff and members kept their masks on to follow safety protocols and cleaning stations were made available. Commercial gyms are great for the amenities they offer, but training here at Westca is an experience. My go to spot to train whenever I am in town. read more

This gym is solid affff. Located in the heart of DTSJ. They'll validate up to two hours of parking. I came here as a guest near closing, and the gym was nearly empty. My friends are members here and I hear time and time again that they are very happy with this gym. I echo them when I say that Westca is incredibly clean and the owners created an environment that is friendly and positive. I was a little intimidated before coming here, but that immediately changed as I stepped into the gym - they were very welcoming! I highly recommend anyone who lives in the area to work out at this gym :') If I didn't already have a few gym memberships, I'd definitely sign up. read more

Why 5 stars? ***** I'm visiting and was looking for a great place to workout instead of the depressing hotel gym. This place is what I would consider to be a perfect gym. Not a big box type with zero character and not too small where it lacks key equipment. This is just right. Everything you need and more. By far the best aspect is the vibe in this place. That's tough to create and Westca strikes the right balance. Everyone is seriously trying to get a great workout but not over the top grunting and flexing. Angel was awesome and showed me around. The $15 day pass is just the right amount. The $3 single pre-workout and post-workout supplements are a great idea, especially for someone like me that's visiting. I will definitely return when I'm back in the area. read more

Westca - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

I was on a mission to find a new gym last summer. I got a super fast reply from Westca when I put in an inquiry about their personal training/ semi private training the program and was quickest set up with Adam. I signed up and have not looked back. Adam listens when I tell him my goals and pushes me to hit them. If he is great at mixing up the move and giving me options. It feel more personalized than just a run of the mill workout routines. read more

The gym is smaller than your big box gym with dated machines, but it makes up for it with its cleanliness, welcoming environment, and people, both staff and gym-goers! I've always felt welcomed and supported here, even when I was working out on my own. I can honestly say all staff will greet you with a smile, say hi when able, and are approachable if you have any questions. One day, I was invited to work out with one of the personal trainers, Maegs, and I was hooked! I signed up for sessions immediately and enjoyed every minute. The one-hour sessions go by fast and are so fun, filled with laughter and mini dances during rest periods. Maegs will brighten up anyone's day with her positive attitude, even at 7am. She is knowledgeable, down to earth, and makes me feel comfortable in my own skin. This gym is amazing because she's a huge part of it! She deserves a raise! read more

WESTCA is my favorite gym! You will be made to feel welcome, embraced, and acknowledged here. The proprietors are wonderful, down-to-earth people. They are always there, welcoming members and making you feel welcome. At the front desk, Allie has the best customer service! She'll answer any questions you have, whether they're about workouts or the gym as a whole. She'll be your go-to person. I've even seen her assist members with video and photo shoots. This is, in general, the best place to be. You will gain not only confidence but also a family from the gym. read more

Westca - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

The layout of the gym is easy to navigate. Masks are required! They have cleaning supplies available to wipe down equipment after use. They check temperatures upon arrival and require you to wash your hands. Hand sanitizer also provided. Bathrooms are always clean and they have feminine supplies available in the womens. I decided to do twice a week, small group sessions. I have already seen great results, within a few weeks with Andy I saw my strength and abilities improve. Andy is super encouraging and keeps you accountable, he also offers nutritional advice. There is also free parking across the street which is a plus in San Jose. Andy really pushes you each session and I highly recommend him to anyone interested in getting started with their fitness goals! read more

Westca is super inviting (even for gym newbies) and training with Adam has been great. He's friendly, holds you accountable, and helps push you to get stronger each session. Love the Westca vibes and positive energy. read more

TL;DR - The 5 star reviews do no lie. The best gym atmosphere and community. A gym is as good as it's members, who are a reflection of the staff and owners' care. Location & Parking: The old Sperry Flour building. The owners have decided to respect the history of the building and keep the seal of 'Sperry Flour' above their own sign. Westca is located on the right side of 3rd street between E. Santa Clara St. & E. St John St. There is street parking on both sides of the street (which is free before 9am, after 6pm, and on the weekends [or at least Sunday.]) There is also a parking garage located on the left side of 3rd street & Westca will validate up to 2 hours for you. Atmosphere/Culture: This is why the gym is so great. - Lots of natural light due to skylight and big windows facing 3rd street. - At some gyms people are creeps, annoying or dirty. None of those adjectives apply here at Westca. The culture the owners (Tory & Meaghan) have created here is cleanliness and friendliness, and that is reflected in their day-in and day-out attitude. Tory and Meaghan greet everyone with a smile and make it a point to remember your name. They are also very approachable if you have any questions on exercises or machines. - No one here is claiming 5 machines spread across the gym. No one here is using 7 set of different weight dumbbells either. - Some of the members are bodybuilders/competitors, which might be intimidating at first, but they adhere to the culture as well, and are just as approachable and friendly as the owners. - Everyone here is motivated to workout, which in-itself is motivating. - Music is Top 40, unless DJ Tory or DJ Meaghan are in the gym, and you will get some great workout music. When they are here they seem to play to the room, when it's Tory and a bunch of guys in the gym - it is rap/hip-hop/90's music. When it is the most diverse group or Meaghan is here - it is Energetic/EDM. I don't listen to EDM regularly, but when you are in the gym setting it does give you energy & motivating. Machines: They have enough machines that hit ever muscle group with a focus on chest and back machines. I have never had to wait for a machine, and if I do, most people are courteous enough to let you work-in. Side note: all machines are painted gold. Cardio: Standard treadmill setup in front with some stairmasters and stationary bikes behind them. All of the cardio equipment looks out on to third street, which gives you something to look at while running on the hamster wheels. They also lend out iPads so you don't have to use your data (they also provide WiFi if you prefer your tiny screen) & you can watch Netflix/Youtube while you run. Cleanliness: Westca has spray bottles at every part of the gym, making spraying & wiping down your machine very easy. Most of the members make it point to keep everything clean, and if anything gets too messy the staff comes around to wipe things down and organize the weight plates. Westca also sprays down every 'yoga mat' nightly. Personal Training: They have multiple personal trainers with differing areas of expertise, which can all be found on their website & most of the trainers workout at Westca regularly. Classes/Events: Westca offers fitness bootcamps & seminars (on things like posing) with fitness personalities from the surrounding area. They also schedule "gym hikes" which everyone is invited to. Westca also hosts gym-wide challenges (i.e. 30 day challenge, 6 week challenge) that Tory and Meaghan setup with meal plans, exercise plans, where you can win prizes for the most improvement. Extracurricular Events: There seems to be quarterly events here - like a fashion show [Westca x LVFT,] Westca's annual party, a Holiday Party etc. These are fun, fitness related events that have food, photo opportunities and a time to talk to other gym friends for a longer duration than in between sets. Store: They also have a line of fitness/lifestyle clothing which can be purchased here. They also have supplements here from local brands: Evogen & Myoblox read more

Going to WESTCA is the best decision I've made! Training with Meaghan has changed my life. I always feel so much better after an hour with her pushing me to meet my fitness goals. I've met many friends at WESTCA. I look forward to going to workout and catching up with friends and the other trainers. WESTCA has become a community that has added so much to my life! Thanks Meaghan and Tory! read more

This gym is a great place to work out both individually and with their training staff! I've been personal training with Faith during my pregnancy and she has been a great support in designing customized workouts that are both challenging and safe, helping me maintain muscle mass and strength during this pregnancy! Definitely recommend Faith if you appreciate learning more about exercise science too! read more

After looking through reviews for several gyms, I found WestCa and after a phone call and a tour, I signed up for a year of semi-personal training. WestCa is a welcoming gym where everyone is very friendly and knows you by name. Coach Genti motivates me to push harder during my workouts while being a positive force for change. Everyone I've met is kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend WestCa! read more

I look forward to my training small group sessions with Adrian at WestCa because I feel welcomed and challenged. I've learned how to safely lift weights, I've achieved visible improvements in my health and physique, and I've made some really good friends at the gym who keep me motivated. It doesn't matter what has happened during my day because I check that at the door when I walk in and focus on myself and my fitness journey. read more

I have been training with Adam since September of last year. During our private training sessions he always provides me with great feedback and best tips on performing weight lifting exercises. Along with that, he always trains with me to provide the correct form examples and he constantly motivates me to lift heavier weights or more reps to push my limits. In addition, he also my personal nutritionist and provides me with many valuable tips to keep me on track on body fat goals. What sets Adam apart from past trainers in the past is that he is really cares about helping me achieve my goals. He is very nice, funny, charismatic, awesome listener, and great friend. read more

Westca - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

Been here a few times all via a day pass. Dope gym, awesome vibe, it's always a treat coming here.

Great community gym. Facilities are clean and the trainers are friendly. Would like to recommend Adam, who's great at designing different programs based on individual requirements and always goes the extra mile for his clients. read more

For me, working out alone can be boring and motivation killing, so Westca was the perfect solution for me. For the past few months i've been training with Adam, and i've seen progress that would be so much harder to achieve on my own. He specifically targets my weak points and challenges me every week to reach my goals. It's also great how many new workouts im learning, which i can incorporate in my own time. Westca feels like a community of friendly and knowledgeable people, so once you try it, you'll never want to go to another gym. read more

Great gym. Clean, appealing space. Ample, well maintained equipment. Friendly crowd and knowledgeable staff.

I thought it important to me to drop this note about a very special place in my daily life. I have been going to WESTCA Gym for almost two years know and could not recommend a better place. I am not a diehard weight lifter but do it for my health as I am now considered a senior. Meaghan and Tory, as well as all the staff, have been very supportive in helping me in anyway they can. I am definitely not the hulk, nor do I want to be, but want to keep my muscles strong and motion skills sharp as I know move into my golden years. This facility has something for everyone regardless of their age or goals. I have met some great people, both working there, and working out there, that will always help you to accomplish whatever your goals are. Check it out as I highly recommend it. Cheers read more

What can I say? Westca is like family. I have the upmost sense of security and comfortability when working out at Westca. Everyone is so kind (members, staff and trainers) and the place is clean AF! It all started in 2019 when I was looking for a trainer to guide me to a better body/booty! I was referred to Paulina through a few of my clients. Their bodies/booties were beautiful and I was sold. I slid into Paulina's DM and made a consultation. Right off the bat she was kind, professional and knowledgable about her craft. The rest is history-- she kicks my butt every single time and I definitely see results! Literally the best trainer and confidant a person could ask for. So, if anyone is looking for the best decision ever-- you can rest assure Paulina is your girl! I was looking to transform only my body but turns out she bettered my body, mind and soul. Thank you so much P! YOU THE GOAT! read more

Six months ago I started training with Andy, the best decison i made! What i like about Andy is that you get challenged, motivated and believe that you can and will attitude. Patience will get you great results. Through hard work and dedication anything is achievable. My loyalty lies with a trainer that I could trust with my fitness journey. I look forward to reaching more goals together. Im very grateful Andy, I thought you should know it! read more

Adrian at Westca is THE BEST trainer! He pushes me to achieve my fitness goals, and is very thoughtful with planning my workouts around my personal needs and whatever is going on in my life. He makes training fun and is the coolest guy ever. Also, Westca the gym is super clean, the owners and staff are all incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and the best gym experience I've ever had. read more

Great gym with all of the equipment you need for a great workout! The facilities are wonderful and the staff is so warm and helpful.

Working with Faith has been the best experience for my lifting journey and I'm so glad I joined the WETCA community! This is my first time working with a personal trainer and I'm so happy to have been paired up with Faith. In just a couple weeks of training together she has already adjusted my grip and squat form for higher weight. I love how big she is on empowering women to be strong and lift heavy :) Def recommend working with her if you want to get stronger and work your thighs and glutes! read more

I've been a San Jose native for 15 years and have seen several gyms come and go. Westca is a smaller gym, that has a fantastic community. The gym members are very polite and friendly. The staff does a great job of keeping the gym clean and is always happy to provide assistance. I started personal training in 2022 with Adam. As someone that hates working out Adam has been a wonder. Adam keeps me accountable by texting me every morning to ensure I come in. Personal training has been amazing and I highly recommend looking into private or semi-private training. read more

I 've been a member at WESTCA for 4.5 years and I have been training with Adrian for almost a year now. I only have good things to say about him; he's one of the best! Very knowledgeable, attentive (he watches your form and will tell you to slow down) and has a genuine personality. Sessions with Adrian are always fun but he also pushes to work hard. As a former athlete I really appreciate the challenge and motivation to stay active. This gym has become my second home since I started working downtown. Westca is a sanctuary, a place I come to clear my mind and decompress. I have a pretty hectic work life so I look forward to walking through those doors. The gym is a vibe; from the people, music and overall positive environment. I love the community and the friendships I have built here overtime. It's one of the main reasons why I have been loyal to this gym. Thank you Tory, Meaghan Paulina and team! read more

Training at Westca has easily become the best part of my everyday routine. They genuinely care about each one of their members and they want to get to know you and make sure the gym is an enjoyable experience. I train with Adrian at Westca and there's no trainer quite like him. A jokester, unofficial therapist, and of course an amazing trainer! He has tailored my workouts specifically to my goals and adjusts them as I progress. He always knows how to push me to progressively improve and go harder with my workouts. He switches up the movements for each session so I never get bored and can barely walk out of the gym (leg days are his specialty) but also the best trainer I could ask for! read more

Adrian is an awesome trainer. Always has a smiling face and is very encouraging. He is attentive and helps focus on what goals you want to reach . I highly recommend him to everyone. Westca gym is overall a great place to workout. Great trainers, friendly employees and a wonderful sense of community. read more

Trainers are incredibly humble about their clients fitness journey. They always give a warm welcoming towards their clients. Overall I would highly recommend this gym to anyone that is serious about their gym goals. read more

Every new year brings new beginnings and this year I decided to finally take full control of my health. After shopping around many different programs in 2022 - WESTCA provided the best environment, staff, and support I need that fits my overall goals and lifestyle. I met Ivan, a very friendly, outgoing, kind, but determined individual at a bar and he mentioned to me that he was personal trainer. I was in the market as I wanted to make 2023 my year of wellness and health. Ivan's philosophy of wellness and health resonated me. I immediately set up the appointments and didn't hesitate to sign up. So far - it's been two weeks into my program and I not only see but feel the improvements of my overall quality of life. After years of "working" out off and on, Ivan's training style to ease me back into it gives me the confidence to wake up and work hard. His workouts are the perfect level of intensity where he pushes me but at the same time doesn't kill me to function during my extremely busy day to day. I would highly recommend not only Ivan but WESTCA as a place for people who want to change their life. The small facility catalyzes a culture of community and support as the people who go at 5AM are friendly. I'm extremely excited for the next 5 months with Ivan to see how my journey for health and wellness transcends! read more

As promised, I am back at WestCa - and the billing was simple/straight forward - and the gym is better than ever. The members have great etiquette - the staff and owners are awesome, and the equipment is top notch. Also, the membership cost is absolutely reasonable. read more

I participated in the 30 day fitness challenge earlier this year and had some great results. I had access to the gym during the 30 days and a meal plan/workout routine to follow. Everyone I interacted with at the gym were nice and helpful when I had questions. I am planning on going back in the near future. The gym owners are great people. Keep it up Westca! read more

A Very good gym, but so much more! Physically, this gym has want you would want from any gym, a wide selection of well maintained equipment. With the current membership, the wait time for equipment is basically nonexistent. The gym is super clean. Like, "this is my precious" polish it every day clean. Now to the so much more. As you see in other reviews, their is a vibe or esprit de corps that really motivates you to come work out. I need to give you a little personal history to fully express. I was a Division III full ride lacrosse player. In my thirties I was a serious triathlete finishing in the top 20 at Wildflower. Then I developed a lower back injury and put on 60 pounds. I have completed about 15 workouts in the gym. Most days I am the most out of shape person in the gym by a good margin. There are many serious athletes in the gym who have developed incredible physiques. I have never felt anyone look down on me. In fact, what I really feel is that I am once again part of an elite team that is pushing everyday for excellence. This has been super motivating for me. I feel like, 'I will overcome my injury and get back to performing at a high level because look at all the high achievers around me.' And that is just the other members. The coup de gras is the staff. To a person, they are genuinely friendly and engaged. The kind of friendly that only comes from people who want to be there, not have to be there. The owners have done an excellent job of hiring the right people and motivating them to sincerely enjoy their work. For all this, the fees are incredibly reasonable and there is no sales bullshit like at most gyms. So come on Downtown San Jose, join this gym so that it is here to stay! At least come do their 7 day trial and you will see for yourself. read more

I joined this gym with the annual plan. I had to move to another state soon after and as per the contract asked for a refund. I've provided all the documentation they requested and spent more than two months trying to get it but to no avail. Edit: updating to 5 for promptly communicating the problem and fixing it read more

Seriously this gym is my home. Ever since the first day I stepped in there, everyone is so friendly and helpful. Tory and Meaghan, the owners, have really built out a family. Everyone there is on their own fitness journey, but they all root each other on. Allie especially, who heads their marketing and handles the front desk, always gives such a warm demeanor and helps out with any questions I have. She's my go-to on anything involving my membership, bootcamps, etc. Total rock star. Can't wait for everything to open again so I can see all these lovely people's faces! read more

Let's start by, this is home to me, so every time I am going to WestCa I am going to my second home! I know I will be there everyday, and the most important reason why is, you can't give to your friends nothing more important than support. Aside from that, this gym is operated by nonetheless than Tory Woodward, 3x Olympia Champ! and Meaghan, they really want to make a change to people's life, if you are willing to pay the dues. Nothing came easy not even for him!!! They really cater to every single person, you must give it a try. WESTCA IS HOME! read more
