Trainers near Portola Valley

“I've been a patient of Lisa Green and PacificTHERx for various injuries over many years. Lisa is very experienced, knowledgeable, practical and an excellent listener.

During my recent stint in PT, she's been methodical and diligent in getting to the root of the problem and creating plans to strengthen or correct source to reduce or eliminate pain areas.

Lisa is also a great business owner/manager. Her business is a well oiled machine and makes the process easy for her clients.
Her business also provides personal fitness training studio memberships where clients have access to many weight and cardio machines.

Lisa genuinely cares about her patients and wants them to continue to be active and live their best lives!“

“Gets you the results you need.

Thanks to Coach Josh and Coach Nathan for making it worthwhile.

Im wrapping up the 12-week program. It starts with an assessment to shape your plan, then twice-weekly sessions that pushed me without overdoing it and stayed varied enough to keep interesting.

Monthly check-ins on weight and muscle composition kept me accountable to my goals: losing weight and rebuilding back strength after an injury.

I finished lighter and more energetic.“

“I've been working with Dr. Bryan Mai for a few years now and have absolutely loved my journey at Progressive Motion. I came in with a bunch of back injuries I'd never properly addressed, and their model of care has helped me recover and regain strength in ways I never thought possible. Bryan has been incredibly patient and supportive through my whole rehab journey, pushing me to understand my body and learn how to move in ways that support what I want to be doing every day, so there's real long-term change instead of just temporary relief. So grateful I found Progressive Motion, and their new facility in Redwood City is great too. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Bryan for everything :)) give this man a raise!“

“I love OrangeTheory. Workouts are amazing but more than that.. their front desk people are AMAZING.

They make so much difference in the experience. They genuinely understand the problem, they are kind and go extra mile to provide service. 10/10.. Sometimes I am having such tough time in office but then I see such kind people and it makes my day.

Also.. I love Kalli .. she is the best coach.“

“Over the past year, my mobility, strength, and endurance have improved tremendously. As I’ve educated myself on effective cardio and toning exercises, it’s clear to me why I feel like an entirely upgraded version of myself. This progress is all thanks to Val and coming to his classes regularly. He has a great way of making exercise fun, which makes it easy to look forward to every session“

“Dr Sepulvada has helped me so much. I had consistent headache, neck pain and lower back pain. All of these pains have been fixed and I feel better than I have in many years, allowed to to get in peak health which had translated to better workout, longer runs and significant weight loss.“

“It was my first time visiting this gym but not my first time at f45. Ben was attentive and provided support during the exercises. He adjusted my stance and provided suggestions. Loved the energy and the encouragement.

Facilities are clean and equipment well maintained. Free parking in a nearby lot was icing in the cake!“

“Quick update: I just want to say how fun Shannon and the Gymclass community makes working out. I promise you will be challenged with your workout, laugh a lot, and make new friends. It is the place to be if you want to add strength training to your workout despite any fears you may have (e.g., weights, body size, past failures, no time, etc.). Give her a call today and try your first class!

I have been attending GymClass workouts since the beginning of the pandemic when Shannon offered complimentary online workouts to the teachers of my district. This past year, I have attended her gym for in-person workouts and for the last 9 weeks have participated in her coaching program, Lift to Lose. I love the camaraderie of the women in her gym and the sense of inclusion and safety. We talk and laugh and the workouts fly by. Also, the classes are small enough that she will make sure you are doing the exercises safely.

Shanon’s Lift to Lose coaching program has been a game changer for me. I’ve learned so much about the importance of prepping food ahead and eating a variety of foods with protein. I love that she provides the meal plan for the week along with the recipes and shopping lists. The recipes are easy to follow and delicious. So far I’ve lost 12 pounds but, more importantly, I’m relieved that I have found a way to eat that I can manage with my busy schedule and not feel deprived. In addition, it’s not all about food and weight loss. During her coaching calls, Shannon focuses on weekly themes (e.g., sleep, mental health/changing negative messages, stress, movement, etc.). The things I’m learning from the coaching calls cross over to many areas of my life - not just weight loss/fitness. If you’re feeling a bit stuck in your workouts, give Shannon’s coaching program a try. You won’t regret it!“

“Jared trains me on my 2nd day on the Fast Fit equipment. He’s so knowledgeable and encouraging and exuberant about the benefits of this 20 minute slow motion strength training. I can vouch for its impact since I’ve been doing The Perfect Workout for almost 10 years. He’s a pleasure to work with.“

“Matty is a superb trainer! The best I’ve ever had the joy of working with. He designs great workouts for me and inspires me to reach for my best!“

“Training with kip has been transformative for me and my overall health. I lost 10 pounds in the first few months of working out with him and appreciated his extensive knowledge of exercise routines, tailoring of the program for my specific fitness goals, and awareness of how to push me without overdoing it especially given some old injuries I had. Best of all, he travels to my house and brings equipment which really removes any excuses and helps me stay consistent. Strongly recommend!“

“Candy is simply awesome! I look forward to every single session and always leave feeling energized for the next. She knows exactly how to make workouts challenging without being demotivating. Plus, her flexibility with scheduling is a huge help for a busy lifestyle. Highly recommend her and Fit Theory!“

“Such an amazing workout here. You leave feeling so strong every time. Parking is easy right across the street in the structures. Kass is very helpful!! I had a wonderful experience.“

“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.“

“Erron is great! I’ve been working out with him for a while now and have definitely seen a lot of progress. He’s very flexible with how I like to structure my sessions and always finds ways to keep our workouts interesting.“

“I used to just go through the motions at the gym. Now I actually feel like I’m getting somewhere.
The way they match you with a coach who fits your vibe. Genius. I’ve never been more consistent with my workouts.“

“Trained here for ~1 month when I was staying in the area. The class is fun, engaging, and quite intense (in a good way!). The coaches are very good at explaining what to do and I was able to learn a wide variety of useful exercises during my short training there. I really enjoyed my time here exercising, sweating, and learning more about kickboxing.“

“Mark will change your life. My regular doctor was sending me to an orthopedic surgeon to consider having surgery next month. Referred to Mark by a friend. Mark spent one hour with me a week ago and worked out my SI…. Realized when I laid down my left leg was slightly longer, and when I set up, it was slightly shorter, which meant something was tight. It was throwing everything off. The regular doctor will send you right into surgery or throw a drug at it. Through various stretches and massages… debilitating pain that prevent me from walking normal on my left ankle and forget about leaning over with my lower back - it all went away in about two days after seeing him. Miracle worker. Canceling orthopedic surgeon appt.“

“Adam is very candid and caring for his clients, incredibly knowledgeable as well. Best trainer I’ve ever had, worth every penny.“

“Awesome gym and even better team! They have everything you need from classes, free gym time, and chiropractor. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new gym in the area!“

“Frederick has been my trainer for many years, but I don't think I have ever had the same workout. He is a great motivator and is consistently working on getting you toward your goal.“

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

“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!“
