Trainers near Pacifica

“I decided to check out Terra Nova Fitness for strength training. I'm starting to feel my age and know that I'm losing muscle. It was one of my best decisions.

Over the months I have felt stronger and have noticed my body changing. The best part is the training. There's always a coach watching the room. If I have questions or doing an exercise incorrectly, it is rectified quickly. Also, the encouragement is wonderful.

The studio isn't too large but it never feels crowded. Everyone has their own routines which changes every 4 weeks. I don't get bored and always feel that I am moving forward, getting stronger.

I'm happy I checked Terra Nova Fitness out and am extremely satisfied with the results.“

“The staff here at AF Pacifica is what makes this gym excellent. Each of them consistently goes above and beyond to create a culture that is professional, welcoming, and fun. The space is always clean. The equipment is always maintained. The coaches know their stuff. Great layout and full range of equipment.

I often travel for work and have visited other AF locations both in and out of the US. This little gem in Pacifica is a standout.“

“I really enjoy coming to F45 San Bruno! The workouts are always challenging but fun, and the coaches do a great job keeping everyone motivated. The facility is clean, well-organized, and has a great energy. I always leave feeling stronger and accomplished!“

“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.“

“I restarted training with Dojo USA just a year ago after a very long hiatus, and I have loved every minute of it. It has given me renewed energy, improved my fitness, and reignited my passion for Tae Bo and boxing, both of which are rooted in the principles and discipline of martial arts.

Our Senseis—Peter, Erma,June and Nanette have been incredible coaches. They push us hard, but always in a positive, encouraging, and motivating way. Their dedication inspires each of us to keep improving and become the best version of ourselves.

The camaraderie among everyone at the dojo is truly special. We support, encourage, and challenge one another every step of the way. Yes, we are athletes in every sense of the word, and training together has given me a tremendous advantage in my journey at the dojo.

I am grateful to be part of the Dojo USA family. It has become more than just a place to train—it is a community that motivates me to grow stronger, both physically and mentally. 💪❤“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
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!“

“Marty brings a truly thoughtful and highly personalized approach to training. He has a very unique teaching style. He progressively layers skills and provides memorable cues that tend to click at exactly the right moment during practice, making complex movements much easier to understand and perform correctly.

His process begins with a comprehensive movement quality assessment, identifying muscular imbalances that many people are unaware of. Rather than immediately adding load or jumping into exercises, Marty focuses on understanding how the body moves and provides targeted corrective strategies to address those imbalances first. This strong foundation makes the training both safer and significantly more effective.

Another standout aspect of Marty’s coaching is the emphasis on breathing mechanics, an area that is often overlooked in fitness. Marty is a huge advocate of proper breathing and treats it as a fundamental skill that directly impacts stability, strength, and overall performance.

Programs are designed specifically for each individual based on their unique imbalances and movement patterns. Marty introduced the addition of mace swinging alongside kettlebell training, which has been a fantastic addition and has unlocked a new and surprisingly fun way to build core strength and total-body stability.

Another valuable aspect of working with Marty is the guidance he provides on choosing the right equipment. He puts a lot of emphasis on helping clients select the appropriate tools and explains clearly how and when different exercises should be used to get the most benefit.

Beyond movement and strength training, Marty also provides guidance on simple, nutrient-dense nutrition strategies designed to support fat loss while preserving muscle. The approach is flexible and tailored to the individual, whether someone follows a carnivore, omnivore, vegetarian, or vegan diet.

Overall, Marty’s coaching philosophy centers on individualized programming, movement quality, breathing, and sustainable health making it an intelligent and highly effective approach to fitness.“

“This review is overdue, but I wanted to share my positive experience working with Jeffrey for in-home strength training. He helped me to get into a manageable routine with strength training, focusing on my form, regular customized strength training workouts, and adjustments over time to respond to my needs. He also helped me build out my home workout equipment and gave me honest feedback about what was most important for me and my goals.

I do feel like I've gained strength and self-discipline, which helps me in my daily life with my posture and how I feel physically. I came into strength training with very little experience, and Jeffrey gave me the tools to feel confident with my new routine and my own ability to build on it over time.“

“The owner is amazing, positive and for healthy living. They're always nice when I come!“

“So glad I decided to sign up and workout during my third trimester, I honestly wish I had started sooner. Marli is a great trainer and has helped me get in better shape leading up to my delivery!“

“Came in to work out at this location, two guys at the front desk were absolutely accommodating and polite, gym looked decently clean“
