Trainers in Redwood City

“I’ve been to other OTF studios and this is one of the best out there. The front desk staff and manager are amazing. The coaches are wonderful and not overbearing. So glad I found this studio in the Bay Area.“

“My experience with Matty at More Than Fitness PT has been great! I started several months ago with the goal of increasing muscle and strength in a safe and injury-free manner. As a woman in her 50's with previous injuries, that's no small order. But Matty has delivered! He even makes it fun, or as fun as it can be, I should say. I honestly feel stronger and am so happy that I took the plunge and called Matty. He set me up with an assessment and from there I purchased 5 training sessions. I had been working out at 24 Hour Fitness on my own for months but not seeing any real improvement. Matty makes it easy for me to stay motivated and to keep getting stronger.“

“I contacted Training Spaces late one night when I was feeling frustrated with my lack of progress. Let me back up a bit... I'm a woman in my early 40's, two young kids, and I run about 2-3x a week. After my youngest became fairly self-sufficient, I decided to get back in shape. I thought it would be pretty easy because I'd done it before with my first kid. But this time, after working out for 3 months straight, I saw no progress. I even increased running to 7 days a week. And yet, every morning when I woke up, I felt like a truck hit me. I also noticed other changes, like falling/staying asleep became difficult, my cycle was off, etc. I did a bunch of research and realized I was going through perimenopause. One of the suggested methods to get through perimenopause is to build muscle and regain strength, so that's why, late one night, I found Training Spaces and decided to sign up.I'm now in week 7 with Charles, and here are the results I'm seeing:- My sleep is more regulated. I can fall/stay asleep for at least 6-7 hours a night, versus erratic 2-4 hour cycles before.- My cycle is closer to what it used to be, and I no longer have heavy symptoms.- I can eat almost anything I want without huge blood sugar spikes.- I am much stronger. I'm able to lift my 5-year old without taking out my back.- I have so much energy now. I wake up at 7 am, and literally go all day until 11 pm, and I feel fine. I used to crash around 3-4 pm, and wonder how I'd make it to the kid's bedtime, and by 9 pm, I'd be so exhausted (and still couldn't fall asleep!).- Lastly, though this wasn't a goal of mine, I'm now back to my pre-kid weight from 10 years ago.If I had known I'd feel this way, I would've started this process much sooner. I wouldn't have waited until I lost this much muscle before trying to build it back up again. I am grateful I found this place, and my trainer Charles, who's been so helpful and a joy to work with. So if you're a new mom, a new dad, a woman going through perimenopause or menopause, and you just feel exhausted or not quite yourself, I'd highly recommend taking the first step and reach out to these guys. They know what they're doing, and you'll start to feel much better very soon.“

“Let me preface anything I say here with the fact that I am neither a natural athlete, nor have I ever liked working out.With that said, the Tosetti team has somehow gotten me to a point in my life where I can’t imagine a life NOT doing squats, punching bags, wrestling, and swinging swords. It’s probably high time I left a review, since I’ve been going here since September 2018.Fitness classes are like a giant game of “Simon Says.” Coach Melissa and Coach Geralyn are amazing, and some of the warmest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Their patience and encouragement when I started these classes went a long way to bolster my confidence. Again, I’ve never liked working out, so I also had no idea what I was doing, and being told what to do did me a whole lot of good. They were happy to start me off with baby steps and add challenges as I progressed, and are always ready to show you alternatives if you have certain limitations, such as joint issues.Wrestling classes—when I say I knew nothing about working out, I knew even less about wrestling. I actually started these classes because of the sword classes (that’s a long story). Coach Paul officially teaches these (with the occasional supervised wrestling sessions from… another Paul), and has somehow shown me, at 5’4’’, how to throw people who tower over me. The classes tend to be a mix of all levels of experience and weight classes, and Coach Paul will often cater his lesson that day to the needs of the class demographic. It’s a whole lot of fun.Lastly, sword classes are what I joined Tosetti Institute for (and since I joined, they’ve added a polearms class to the weapons repertoire). These are not the kind of sword fighting classes that usually come to mind in the modern era, such as the foil fencing you see in the Olympics. We’re talking historical martial arts here, with swords in a variety of sizes and styles—and Coach Paul definitely emphasizes the martial part of the art. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. He draws form historical texts, but he’s a fighter first and foremost, and that’s what I think really sets his teaching off from other historical fencing schools—if you want to learn how to fight, he will teach you how to fight. I’m going to do a bit of bragging here, but some of our sword fighters are competition-winners (I’m not among them—I’m actually mediocre at best, but I love being able to learn from these awesome people).Really, I could go on and on about how much I love Tosetti Institute, and the people there. This was unfortunately the shortest I could keep this review while doing them any sort of justice, and it’s only an inkling of how much I love this place. Even sadder is the fact that I’ll be moving out of the area in the spring/ summer—of all the things in the SF Bay Area, Tosetti Institute and the people I’ve met there are what I will miss the most, and I don’t think I’ll ever find their equal.“

“I gave F45 a try and got totally hooked. All the coaches are outstanding. They have helped me so much to correct my form. I am getting a fantastic workout and enjoy the variety and camaraderie. I used to be a member of Equinox and had my own personal trainer but am seeing more results now with F45 than ever before.“
