Trainers near Hayward

“Powerlifting wise is good, came here when I won a competition. definitely not a bodybuilders gym. but only open for 5 hours? Why would I spend 120$ month to go a gym that’s closed most of the day and closed on Sunday? 24 hour fitness is 100% the better option for your money and overall equipment.“

“I have been going here for about a year. It’s an intimate setting and instructors are super helpful and encouraging. You also start to bond with fellow work out friends that you see weekly. I have also gotten a lot stronger and looking more toned. Love coming here.“

“I’ve been training with Eric at ATP Fitness since shortly after my stroke, and I can confidently say he has been a life-changing part of my recovery. His knowledge, patience, and thoughtful approach have helped me make incredible progress, not just in regaining strength, but also in rebuilding balance, confidence, and overall well‑being. I’m now in better shape than I ever have been Eric is training me for a Hyrox Race!
What I appreciate most is how intentional and encouraging Eric is. He challenges me without ever pushing me beyond what’s safe, so that every session feels productive and supportive.
Eric also trains my mom, who had never worked out in a gym before. He created a welcoming, comfortable environment for her, tailoring each session to her needs and helping her feel capable and empowered. Watching her grow stronger has been such a gift.
If you’re looking for a trainer who is genuinely invested in your progress, whether you’re recovering from an injury, building strength, or starting from scratch, Eric is the person you want in your corner. I cannot recommend him highly enough.“

“Working with Mir is a great experience. He’s incredibly patient and understanding, making him the perfect person for beginners to learn from and build confidence“

“It took my partner and me a while to get back into a gym routine, but I’m so glad we chose Body Mechanix. I initially felt overwhelmed—especially with weights and equipment we weren’t familiar with—but Minh made all the difference. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and does a great job breaking everything down step by step, which helped us build confidence, strength, and consistency.

The gym itself has a welcoming, supportive community and excellent trainers. I highly recommend Body Mechanix whether you’re brand new to the gym or more experienced—you’ll feel comfortable and supported either way.“

“I have only taken a few one on one personal training sessions but I already see a difference.“

“Pinpoint provides the most personalized training I've ever experienced, and I've worked with a lot of trainers. I always feel so cared for and they're always teaching me new ways to improve my training. I've learned so much about how to strengthen my body that I'm literally a brand new woman!!! Thanks Pinpoint!!“

“Gil is an amazing trainer and person. Has all the knowledge and equipment available to help anyone achieve their workout goals.
Clean, professional, fun.“

“F45 is awesome! Not only do you get a great workout, but all the staff are so knowledgeable, helpful, encouraging, and friendly. I felt welcomed into their community and a part of the community immediately with the way the classes are structured. You are partnered with at least one or two different partners each class so you get to know a lot of other people, which is just so different from any other gym I’ve belonged to. It’s been very refreshing, and I love going to work out there. If you haven’t joined yet, try it out, and you will love it too.“

“Andrei and Olga are the best personal trainers my wife and I have ever worked with.
For the past three years, they’ve been incredible partners in our health journey. We chose them because they have training to work with aging clients and have deep expertise in nutrition and physical therapy, exactly what we needed after my cardiac issue. Their personalized training and guidance have made a tremendous difference in our strength, energy, and overall well-being. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for caring, knowledgeable, and effective trainers!“

“I highly recommend Fitness 19 in Oakland! The gym is always clean, the equipment is well maintained, and everyone is incredibly friendly and welcoming.

A special shoutout to Estaban, who is the first person you'll see when you walk in. He greets everyone with a positive attitude and takes the time to match you with the perfect trainer based on your fitness goals.

My trainer, Arielle, has been amazing. She's knowledgeable, motivating, and truly understands what the body needs to help you reach your fitness goals safely and effectively. She creates workouts that challenge you while making sure you're progressing the right way.

If you're looking for a gym in Oakland with a clean environment, great staff, and trainers who genuinely care about your success, Fitness 19 is the place to be!“

“Jessie is an outstanding trainer—knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely invested in your progress. His sessions are well-structured, challenging, and tailored to your goals. I’ve seen great results and always leave feeling stronger and more confident. Couldn’t ask for a better coach!“

“First time checking out the gym and was greeted by a friendly staff member by the name of Hadi. Very informative tour of the facility and its extra services offered, after the 1st workout with the free day pass I knew I wanted to come to this gym as a regular!

I came from 24 Hour Fitness; for what I was paying, I didn’t feel satisfied. Then I come across this gym and get a really good deal!
1) very clean for a big box gym
2) friendlier staff who seem genuinely interested in helping and patient with your inquiries
3) cool color scheme (purple and yellow) that boosts the energetic atmosphere
4) extras like massage chairs and tanning booths

I would say as the only “downside” maybe is the fact they don’t have a pool or a traditional sauna but not a big issue since maintenance and cleanliness is difficult for these types of amenities.

If you’re looking for a deal to workout at a decent gym, Planet Fitness is worth giving a try.“

“I’ve never been one to enjoy exercise other than walking, but I gave The Exercise Coach a try and I’m still coming back for over a year and a half. The studio is clean and well run, the trainers are wonderful and really motivate you to work hard. All the staff is great and I look forward to seeing them twice a week!“

“Had my first class here at Barry's a few days ago. The staffers are informative and helpful, the space is clean and seemingly well-maintained; the class and the instructors were very clear with their coaching for the group class. The space felt very disorienting at first with low-light and loud sound, but once you get settled, it seems fine. My observation is around hygiene and cleanliness. During the class sessions, no one seems to be wiping down their equipments in between use, which seemed very gross especially during a sweat-inducing class. Perhaps there's more encouragement from the instructions to do so during the session?“

“Both My kids have been going to MAA for close to 10 years now, starting their journey as white belt members to now being CIT-instructors in training. Dedication to the art form is very visible in the teaching style that both Master T and Master Fong display in their class, there are multiple times when they have conducted extra sessions at no additional cost to ensure that all the concepts are perfectly embedded in the students. Going to this academy has not only ensured that my kids learned a very valuable life skill of protecting themselves but also taught them valuable skills of patience, perseverance and leadership to use in their life ahead“

“Came in on a Sunday 10am until around 3p. Place was clean and quiet and not many people were present. All the equipment I tried was in order. Parking was limited but enough. Overall, had a positive experience.“

“I’m here twice a week to take their Zumba class. Very clean facility and friendly staff“

“Not super busy during the peak hours. Clean. Everyone is pretty chill. Parking lot NEEDS a huge improvement since nobody knows how to park anymore.“

“Awesome facilities and people. Great mix of family atmosphere with people training hard while being supportive.“

“I am so so incredibly thankful for these guys. Over the pandemic and growing the fam etc, I had stopped being active compared to when I was younger. Once I decided to get back into shape, I was looking for a low pressure environment that works with my schedule and doesn’t push me to the edge (think crossfit etc, never been a fan). And perfect workout is exactly that, been going there for about 2.5 months now and have lost 10% of body weight. It has to be coupled with good eating habit, no workout is pure magic, but this one does come close. The 20 mins length is perfect, scheduling is easy and trainers are super kind, shout out to Liz! Thank you so much!!“

“I found Fremont Training through a friend of a friend and started working out with Esther twice weekly in October 2024. Once I began training with her, I found out that a friend of mine used to work for her and another friend used to work out with her, and both people had only good things to say about her.
From my personal experience:
•I have found her to be very knowledgeable about anatomy and all aspects of personal training.
*I get a great workout tailored to my needs and abilities in a private setting.
*My training sessions are challenging, but neither too hard nor too easy and exercises are adapted to any injuries or physical issues I may be having.
*Esther is always on time and very easy to communicate with, both via text and in person, in regard to training, but also in general.

I would highly recommend Fremont Training if you’re looking for personalized training with a knowledgeable, experienced trainer. I feel the quality of the training is very good for the price.“

“I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible impact Rob Medsger of 3 Strong Fitness has had on my husband’s strength training and overall fitness journey. From the moment we started working with Rob, it was clear that he possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in fitness training.

Rob has a unique ability to tailor his approach to meet the individual needs of his clients. He took the time to understand my husband's goals, strengths, and areas for improvement, creating a personalized training program that challenged him while also being achievable. With Rob’s guidance, my husband has not only built significant strength but has also improved his overall fitness and well-being.

What stands out most about Rob is his positive attitude and unwavering support. He motivates my husband to push beyond his limits while ensuring that he maintains proper form and avoids injury. Rob’s encouragement and expertise have instilled a newfound confidence in my husband, making fitness a rewarding and enjoyable part of his life.

If you’re looking for a dedicated and knowledgeable fitness coach, I wholeheartedly recommend Rob Medsger at 3 Strong Fitness. His commitment to helping others achieve their fitness goals is truly inspiring, and we are grateful for the positive changes he has brought to my husband’s life!“

“"I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a spring declutter & detox journey hosted by Gloria Kamil of Total Fitness Transformation. I must say, the experience was outstanding, the complete journey was outlined from beginning to end. This cleansing journey was the catalyst that allowed me to reconnect and develop a healthier relationship with the right foods and improve my overall health. Gloria's expertise and dedication to her clients alone with knowledge has helped me reach my desired goal. With exercise and making the right food choices I have lost a total of 22 lbs. in 2 1/2 months. Thanks Gloria“
