Trainers in Redwood City

“Orange theory is a great place to work out, great people a lot of encouragement from staff and other members.“

“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 recently completed the 12 week transformation with Sam and I am so grateful for all that I learned and gained (and lost!) throughout the entire process. I highly recommend this gym and the 12 week transformation to anyone who is ready and serious about improving their health and transform not only physically but mentally and emotionally in the best way. I heard about the 12 week transformation from a friend and I instantly knew that this was something that I needed to get into to kickstart my health journey that I longed for but had no idea how to start. (For context, I have a 5-year-old son and after giving birth, my health declined and my wellbeing was no longer a priority.) Sam and I met for a consultation and immediately he made it very clear that my lifestyle was going to do a complete 180, but he assured me he was going to be there for me every step of the way - I needed the accountability! With Sam's coaching and training, I was able to lose 49lbs in the 12 weeks. 49lbs!!! In addition, my energy levels have increased, my mood has improved, and I've been able to develop and practice discipline. I also began healing my relationship with food and I learned to use my time in the gym as stress relief. Overall, my transformation experience has been healing in more ways than one. Sam was available outside of our time in the gym to answer questions re: meal plans, workouts, and has been so gentle and supportive when having to modify workouts. He is also extremely knowledgeable and has taught me so much through our training! Other things I love about TS is that the rest of the trainers and interns have been nothing but helpful and supportive! The space, the community, and the trainers are all so welcoming. The gym is spacious, clean and organized. There's cool artwork all over the walls. Most importantly, I feel safe and comfortable to actually workout in a space with no-judgment.“

“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.“

“Five stars. We love working out here. Highly recommend. Patrick is great. Sometimes they give out socks.“

“Really nice community where the staff knows you by name after a few visits, and newcomers are very welcome. Many classes with varied workout designs that are changed monthly. Considering the typical cost in the area for gym memberships, very reasonable pricing with no contracts, especially considering the community feel. Lots of safety measures and during COVID shutdowns, went so far as to build an outdoor gym to keep things safe. Wall that opens to keep a semi-outdoors feel for when needed as a COVID safety measure, and excellent ventilation system. Fresh towels, lockers, shower. Not a meat market the way some gyms are. Unique recharge and recovery options like cryo and red light room.“
