Trainers near San Carlos

“I dragged my friend along with me to try their 60 min hot26 asana yoga class! We were rushing as class started at 7am and we wanted to ensure we'd make it before the doors locked. We got there just in time and were welcome by Regina! She gave us a quick rundown of the studio. They have nice lockers with keys, a water fountain and showers available. Class began promptly and it was comfortably full. Regina was a very lively and informative instructor. She gave helpful guidance on how to do the forms in class they were doing as they were slightly varied from what I am used to doing. The poses were comfortable and I could feel myself truly feeling zen through every pose.“

“This place is a great place to workout in. I decided to aim for my goal to workout and hire a trainer. I see why people like to come here because it's not crowded and is such an awesome workout community. Makes me want to do better and reach my goals! I need to mention my trainer Joey! He is the first trainer I felt that really tries to connect and pushes me to my full potential. He really cares and wants me to grow on this health journey. He listens to me and always has a positive can do attitude. He makes me want to workout and reach that goal! I do not regret this decision and hope to continue this wonderful workout journey.“

“I love PAF! I've been working with Isaac for the past year now and it has been so beneficial for me. He pushes me to limits i didn't even know i could reach and the results have been amazing. I really recommend working with him!“

“I found Shannon and GymClass through a friend and I'm so glad. This women's only gym is the perfect blend of excellent strength and circuit workouts. Whether you've been working out all of your life, you're trying a gym for the first time, or like me, trying weight training for the first time, you will be supported by this amazing community of women. The workouts are well designed and there are always options to modify and go at your own pace - no pressure here, just lots of encouragement. I've built up my strength and balance since joining GymClass and highly recommend it!“

“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.“

“I've been training with Charles for a little under 2 years. He's the first personal trainer I've ever had and it's been a transformative experience. I went from never deadlifting to deadlifting 315lbs, among other milestones.Just trust the process with Charles and you'll be amazed with the results.“

“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.“

“I had the pleasure of working with an incredible personal trainer, Tayo, for almost two years, and he helped me get in the best shape and version of myself for my wedding. I had gained weight during covid in 2020 and he helped me lose the weight, gain muscle, confidence, feel the best version of myself and getting in the best shape of my life. Tayo was very committed to my success. Tayo's passion for his work was evident in every session we had together. He wasn't just a trainer, he was a motivator, a mentor, and a genuine cheerleader throughout my fitness journey. Has positive energy encouragement pushed me beyond my limits, and I found myself achieving milestones. What sets Tayo apart is his genuine care for his clients. He wasn't just interested in the numbers on the scale, but he actually cared about my overall well-being and confidence. His attention to detail and ability to tailor workouts to my strengths and weaknesses made each session challenging yet incredibly rewarding. I love the feeling I get after I have a good workout with Tayo. All the trainers and staff at fitSF are incredible and know what they are doing. You can tell by seeing how happy their clients are at the gym. My wedding day wouldn't have been the same without training at FitSF studio for the big day and I'm forever grateful for the positive impact Tayo and FitSF studio had on my life. They are truly amazing people. I'm no longer working out but I miss seeing Tayo, John and some of their regular clients and trainers there!“

“Dr. Kelly and the gym are great. A breath of fresh air after the gyms I've gone to in the past - happy to have finally found this place!“

“I had never had personal training, but I needed to do something different after a couple years behind a desk. Hitting the gym in isolation was sounding tedious, and was too easy to put off.Even after 15 sessions, I am noticing a huge different in my body, flexibility, and energy levels. Aside from being a great guy, Max has a vast portfolio of exercises, stretches, rolls, and cardio to pull from. He tailors every session and constantly introduces me to movements I have never done before.The result is a super engaging workout, with a ton of compound movements mixed with new variations on conventional exercises, and a very holistic approach to balance, stability, and health. I plan to continue working with Max, but a lot of what he is teaching me will stick with me for the rest of my life.Very highly recommended.“

“Kip is probably the first trainer who ever really listened to what I was saying and had a realistic path to progression. It's the first time I really saw the benefits of fitness training as opposed to just suffering without seeing any results. I wish I had someone like Kip 20 years ago. Kip is about action and focus which is what you need as a beginner when there's so much noise out there. He often brings equipment for home visits which is a benefit since you can decide what you might want to get next for your home setup. When it comes to sessions in the gym he can help you get the most out of what's available there too.“

“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.“

“Great workout! I’m so pleased that my great trainer is so knowledgeable about avoiding neck injury, an area that has been problematic for me. The one on one training is unique. I’m noticeably stronger. I’m very pleased with the perfect workout!“

“Melanie Worthy has been wonderful to work with! I've struggled with bad headaches and neck pain for years due to muscle spasms around my shoulders. I'd tried working with a couple PTs and acupuncturists in the past, without seeing much change. But Melanie is trained in trigger point therapy (also known as dry needling), which is much more effective at addressing muscle spasms--and I've experienced a big reduction in tightness and pain after only a couple sessions. Thanks a lot Melanie!“

“I started training with Jin fairly recently because I noticed he had a lot of similar running experience, and I wanted to add some strength training to my marathon training program. He's very knowledgeable and also an awesome person - highly recommend!“

“Dom has been a tremendous help with adjustments and even treating RS. for many years. Great team and friendly vibes.“

“Clean gym with very good classes. People are happy and professional. Close to home is another big plus.“

“A year ago I was in an accident & had 2 cracked ribs. When I went to physical therapy, I was only receiving electrotherapy but I was really looking for therapy to help me get back to my weight training. When I asked the therapist when I could get back to weight training, he made it seem like it was months away. While at the PT office, I noticed a flyer for APE at the front desk. Since I could barely move my right arm away from my body, I started taking classes with the seniors in hopes to not lose mobility from just sitting while trying to recover. Even though I was probably half the age of the seniors, I started joining the senior class so I could stretch & get back to using weights. A few weeks later I was able to take a general conditioning class which required me to get on a mat & roll on my injured side. In a little over a month I was able to take a Level II Circuit class using heavier weight. My recovery progressed SO much further from exercise when I was barely getting relief from physical therapy or a chiropractor. Thanks to Scott who encouraged me to start taking classes after my injury! I never thought when I was starting with 1 lb dumbbells that in less than 2 months I would be using 20 lbs. Now I am back to lifting 200 lbs on a good day!“

“Coach . Charyl . Is . A . Beast !! I've worked with her for about a little under a year and she never fails to motivate me, show me correct form / technique and knows exactly what to say to push me to that next level. I've seen tremendous improvements in my overall fitness, have lost a significant amount of weight and am just a better personal overall thanks to her efforts ! Highly recommended Coach Charyl, she knows her stuff“

“Great to have a personal trainer correcting my posture and technique, and cheering me on! I's so encouraging!“

“Such an awesome trainer! Can't wait for our next sessions! I had never worked out before but she makes it a fun thing to do. 100% Recommended!“

“Their chiropractor Drew Vercellino is a whole body healer. His curiosity and desire to learn more about how best to naturally heal someone’s body and maintain the best health possible is rare to find.“

“I decided I needed help with some aches & pains before they progressed. I have been pleased with the intake, and scheduling and after several weeks of treatment, I’m feeling much better overall. The care has been personal, professional and effective and I recommend them for your PT/rehab needs.“

“Dr. Minet provides excellent chiropractic care. Her understanding and analysis of my issues was thorough and specific. Under her care I got better in just a couple visits! I can’t recommend her office highly enough!“

“I found Morph Fitness online when I was looking into getting my fitness and diet on track. I'm so grateful I didn't let my hesitancy stop me from meeting with Wayne for my initial assessment. It's been two months with Wayne now and it's been one of the best decisions of my life and truly transformative.Wayne not only possesses an exceptional level of expertise in fitness and nutrition but also has an unmatched ability to tailor workouts to my specific needs and goals. His personalized approach ensured that every session was challenging yet achievable, pushing me to surpass my limits and reach new heights. I especially appreciated the attention to rehabbing old injuries and focusing on weaknesses I didn't know existed.I've attempted many diets before and unsurprisingly none of them stuck. Wayne's diet program is simple and approachable but incredibly effective. The easy-to-follow guardrails are exactly what a diet requires and made it a success for both me and my wife. Eight weeks in and I'm down 16 lbs of FAT, upped my muscle mass by 2 lbs, and all confirmed by a DEXA scan yesterday! For reference, my starting point was 154 lbs and somewhere between 18-22% body fat.Thanks to Wayne, I have not only transformed my body but also gained a newfound confidence and strength that extends far beyond the gym walls. His commitment to my success has truly been genuine, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me achieve my goals.If you're looking for a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also truly cares about your progress and well-being, look no further than Wayne. He is simply the best in the business, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Wayne!“
