Trainers near Emeryville

“Working with Carlos was great! He guided me through an intense yet timely and safe workout. He was engaged throughout the duration of the visit with great reminders and cues for each exercise, or when my form started to dip. If you are looking for a tough/intense training session but are on the go, this 30 minute train until failure safely model will give you that experience and Carlos is the right person to guide you through it.“

“Highly recommend TNT! I came in intimidated by strength training, and now it's a core part of my weekly routine. Eric and Rikko are incredibly knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely fun to train with. The community is wonderful too — every time I'm in the gym, the vibe is supportive and positive. I also travel a lot, and they've been great about staying flexible, even doing virtual sessions when I'm on the road. Training with them has made a real difference in my overall fitness, mental health, and even my running and pickleball.“

“Rob is an excellent PT. He is a high performing athlete himself so I feel he has a more hands on and practical experience than other PTs when working with you. He is also very well educated in PT methods and approaches. The studio is well located and very clean and comfortable. Highly recommended.“

“Diakadi has excellent coaches you have helped me get my body back after covid and have built my strength and endurance up. Thanks to my trainer Cole I feel better than ever (and look better than ever :).“

“The coaches not only have amazing energy, but they actually know what they’re talking about and can coach you through every workout. If you haven’t tried F45 I absolutely recommend it. It has completely changed the way I think about working out.“

“My wife and I have been training weekly with Brandon Tran at Custom Fit in Hayes Valley for nearly two years. We initially sought out his expertise following an accident that required reconstructive surgery on my knee. I had such a great experience with Brett Lando at Custom fit that after physical therapy, we decided to pursue couples personal training at Custom Fit.

Prior to starting with Brandon, we were complete neophytes at the gym -- neither of us had stepped foot in one since high school. Our main goals were to generally increase our fitness levels and build strength as we enter middle age.

Brandon has been a fantastic partner and has supported us immensely in this journey. He has created tailored routines that have helped me continue to pursue my goals, even after my surgery, and helped us both significantly increase our strength and overall fitness. Neither my wife nor I ever thought we would be interested in going to the gym or hiring personal trainers, but we are extremely happy with Brandon and would recommend him to anybody.

We also appreciate the atmosphere at Custom Fit. The gym serves a large variety of clients, from serious powerlifters to older individuals who are maintaining their fitness and everybody in between, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment for all fitness levels.“

“I love this place. For myself I have become so much stronger in a great and welcoming environment. The people! The community! It's a special place, it truly is. You're here to get stronger and do that in the midst of wonderful people who will support you all the way. And they mean what they say. Always! I love that.“

“I don't remember how we found Alison and Truve but I'm thrilled that we did. I'm 71 and my partner is 68 and we wanted a gym and a trainer who would work us hard but be knowledgeable and respectful of the challenges of keeping older bodies fit and strong. Alison listened carefully to our goals and concerns and set us up with Jenn. Working with Jenn is a delight - she knows her stuff and pushes me just enough. Every week she shows up with a different workout that keeps me on my toes - she's always fully present and responsive. As for the gym itself, once you've covered the basics like cleanliness and equipment quality (check and check), it's all about the vibe - are you comfortable being there or not. I've been a member of multiple gyms before and Truve is hands down the place I've most enjoyed going. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.“

“I've been training with James Coca for about a year now and it's been amazing! I came in with a little bit of experience but not much and he was super attentive and helped me to progress exactly like I was hoping to. Very friendly and knowledgeable, exactly what I was looking for in a trainer!

The gym itself is also very nice, great equipment, super clean, and never overly crowded. Highly recommend for anyone who's been training before or just starting out like me!“

“After extensive shoulder surgery, the team at Albany PT brought me back to health. Their patience and experience helped me to navigate the challenges that arose over the six-month rehabilitation. The front office staff were unfailingly kind and calm and supported my scheduling needs. I am very grateful to Albany PT, and especially Elayne and Ann Michelle, for helping me to achieve a fully recovery.“

“JORDAN IS AWESOME. One of the best personal trainers and coaches I've ever worked with. He understands deeply how muscles work with each other, and builds you a program that addresses your unique muscle imbalances. I've enjoyed working with him for the past year, and plan to continue.“

“I've been training with Alex for a few years now and working with him is one of the highlights of my day! He is just an awesome coach - very knowledgeable, personable, and positive. He is great at explaining complex movements, watching how you move and giving great feedback. I've been able to learn how to rope climb, do double-unders, string toes to bar, and achieve many personal weightlifting records thanks to his insightful cues. As an athlete I've grown so much as an athlete and I am so grateful for his guidance and expertise.“

“I found Flagship when I was recovering from an injury and interested in giving CrossFit workouts a try, and the coaches here are amazing! Nikki, Anais, and Liz do a great job of introducing each exercise, and it feels like there's a good amount of personal attention even when the classes are larger. The coaches make sure you feel comfortable with the movements and have the proper form, and help adjust workouts for any injuries. The equipment is really nice and the gym is spacious, so I enjoy coming here to exercise. I like that the workouts are published in advance so I know what I'm getting into, and I also really appreciate that they have multiple membership options, all transparently priced on their website. Joining Flagship was an excellent decision, and I'm looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with them!“

“After injuring my shoulder shoveling snow while in the mountains during snowpocalyose last winter, I knew it was time to get my body back in shape. Enter, Bliss Fitness and Health! From the first Rebel Recess class that I took, I have never felt more comfortable (except for the burpees!!) or more welcomed into a fitness space. The teachers are fantastic; the space is gorgeous; and most importantly after every class I feel euphoric, strong, and, dare I say, filled with bliss.“

“I worked with Jonathan for months. He really helped me learn how to activate and use my muscles correctly. In doing so, has cut down on my fairly regular pain and fatigue sitting all day as well as safely pursuing my new fitness hobbies. He noticed things that I never even mentioned, but knew felt “off.” I never thought I’d work out with a trainer, and only did so at the recommendation of my boyfriend who also saw him. Jonathan is kind, thoughtful, and knowledgeable. He is not a stereotypical bro that I admittedly feared.“

“I love the staff and how clean this gym is! Great instructors and childcare staff! My kids love the childcare!“

“Fit springs are so much and effective! They are great for everybody! Jill is amazing, knowledgeable, and kind.“

“I was grabbing a juice from Got Juiced and after chatting with the manager Tarrell found out he was the owner of Body Mechanix. After hearing about my struggle with back pain when lifting he offered to give me tips on my form and did an incredible stretch session that honestly left me feeling 2 inches taller! I got to meet the manager in Body Mechanix too and they were both so friendly and professional. Thanks for the kindness to someone who isn't even a member (yet) Tarrell. He's the real deal, highly recommend the staff there.“

“Simon and Andrew were awesome! Great trainers with an amazing gym, would definitely recommend to anyone in the area“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can honestly say my experience at CrossFit Fog City was excellent. I was only in San Francisco for about a month and needed a gym, so I signed up for a temporary one-month membership and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

The gym is massive and has just about every piece of equipment you could ask for. The coaching staff was awesome great programming, fun classes, and a really positive atmosphere. Gordon, the owner, was extremely responsive and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Whether you’re in town temporarily or looking for a long-term fitness home, I highly recommend checking out CrossFit Fog City. The space and community are amazing!“

“My hubby goes to this place on regular basis and he really likes their approach. I also like the fact that he has not got any injury since he switched to this place. I recently attended their women self defense training. I was able to master a few techniques within one session and effectively beat my hubby at home! Very impressed! We plan to send our daughter there once they are able to expand the facility. I think it will be great for their confidence building.“

“I've been training with Todd for over 2.5 years now. Todd has been able to help me overcome old sporting injuries to my shoulder, knee and help strengthen my core again to to support my back. I have dropped weight, put on muscle and feel stronger now than I have in years. Todd listened to my needs and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend.“
