Trainers near Richmond

“I just had the best experience in the Richmond City Sports. I had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Julie G. in the Membership Dept. Julie listened to my need and with professionalism, knowledge, and genuine care, helped to achieve my goal. She went above and beyond letting me know of a water aerobic class that was starting within a few minutes and I could participate if interested, which I was. I attended the class and felt revitalized afterward!! Thank you Julie G. for all your help!“

“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.“

“First time here and I will definitely be coming back. Lots of friendly people and the vibes are high! Lots of space to move around.“

“I won an auction for 3 Pilates reformer classes last year and I haven’t stopped going! I knew I had to start building strength for my health, but was having trouble motivating myself to go to the gym. Alison’s classes are fun and challenging. I can tell I’m so much stronger than I used to be.“

“Lower back and hip pain were the reason I went to The Technique PT. Dr. Lin was able to directly address these issues and after several sessions the symptoms were either nearly or completely eliminated. He uses a range of therapies in his office paired with an easy to use web-based program of individual exercises.“

“Calling Alison a fitness instructor or personal trainer isn't doing her justice. She's more like a fitness guru. Her scope of knowledge is vast and deep, encompassing an expertise in many training methods, injury rehab, and nutrition. She will take the time to fully understand where you are in your fitness narrative and figure out how to help you meet your goals. Even her group classes really accommodate the needs and levels of each individual. I've taken HIIT classes and large group pilates classes elsewhere and the quality of her instruction is on a completely different level. Before working with Alison, I had been feeling held back by injuries that were brought on by age and an imbalanced training routine. Working with her has helped me overcome that and feel empowered. She has a wonderful combination of being practical, challenging, and compassionate. She does a great job of cultivating community and connection in her group classes, which makes for a truly fun and motivating atmosphere. She's also a genuinely caring person who works hard to build up not just the people around her but Oakland as a whole.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Everyone at Albany PT is friendly, knowledgeable, and really helpful. Ann Michelle has been fantastic. After a couple of sessions I’m already feeling better.“

“Best gym ever. Best owners. Seriously, this is THE neighborhood gym to join! Very friendly atmosphere, no class times, 30 min whole-body workout. Trainer on site. Every day is a different workout and it's all planned out for you. No more than 9 people working out at any time. I've been a member for years and I can't imagine going anywhere else. TEN STARS!“

“Bliss has been a staple in my life since 2019, when I joined to add more movement, build strength, and de-stress. Before Bliss, I belonged to a larger gym chain that felt impersonal and intimidating. The people at Bliss work to provide an antithesis to stereotypical gyms; it’s a people-centered, supportive space that makes fitness welcoming and enjoyable!“

“Get Bent is my favorite gym in the East Bay! The coaches/owners Jason and Pela truly care about the community and your development as a lifter. They host the best events and have options for everyone including classes for beginners as well as private coaching for advanced powerlifters. Check it out!“

“I've worked with Jordan on and off for the past 4 years and I still always look forward to my sessions with him each week. Jordan is thoughtful, creative and embodies the perfect balance between being both your cheerleader and a coach that encourages you to challenge yourself. This past year specifically, Jordan has helped me prepare for three half marathons while staying injury-free and improving my pace/mile. If you've never lifted heavy weights before and or think that you're not a 'gym person' (I fell into both of those categories initially), Jordan is the trainer for you. He's the best and I'm so happy that our paths crossed.“

“Highly recommend this gym! The front desk staff is very friendly and welcoming, which makes a great first impression. The workout areas are well organized and thoughtfully laid out, and the overall atmosphere is motivating and pleasant. I also really appreciate the small details — they even provide hair ties for members to use, which is very thoughtful. Overall, a great gym with a great vibe!“

“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.“

“Wow. That’s really all I can say. Visiting from Los Angeles, and San Francisco Barry’s Marina truly set the standard. Such an incredible workout. High energy, great coaching, and I definitely burned those calories. Overall, an amazing experience. Thank you so much for such a great workout“

“I am a regular since the day I booked my first class here which is almost a year. All the front desk and manager here are very friendly and welcoming. I truly enjoy every yoga teachers class. And the studio interior also just stunning 🤩 .“

“Abu trained me back into a strengthen body following losses of muscle & stamina after a pickleball accident. His system works you all over and targets areas of weakness. It is a fantastic workout. Highly recommend Next Level Fitness Personal Training.“

“I can’t believe someone would actually give this place less than a five star review.
I’ve been in El Sobrante resident my whole life and this Club has been the most awesome exercise club I’ve ever been to.
They’ve made it through recession. They made it through Covid. Busted their butts, keeping everything clean and up-to-date. They have done a lot of updates, but you have to be a member for quite a while to understand what they actually do.
With that said it’s plain and simple.
If you don’t want an awesome weight room.
If you don’t want a swimming pool
If you don’t want a hot tub
If you don’t want a bocce ball court.
If you don’t want a tennis court
If you don’t want a sauna
If you don’t want a steam room
If you don’t want to take a shower and use their soap and all their amenities.
If you don’t want a private area that holds events and has barbecues at times.
If you don’t want access to trainers.
Then it’s clear go somewhere else.
I would give this place more than five stars if I could Bruce and staff do everything they can’t keep it up And do a very nice job at it. This is an awesome business. You get what you pay for..
Oh, and one more thing yes they do have a contract and you sign it when you sign up. They automatically take it out of your bank account. If you want to cancel the contract yes there is a fee however, if you want to put it on pause. There’s a very small fee until you want to come back or till contract runs out .. Thank you, Lake Ridge.
I think for what you get their pricing is very fair considering the cost of insurances and the cost of running a business nowadays. Once again, thank you Lake Ridge appreciate the Nice and clean place to come visit“

“Great Veteran tournament! Well lit facility, clean, grounded strips, and good referees. Did not have a great result fencing the ' boys' but the venue is great. Kudos to Abdul for the recent upgrades in the space❣“

“Jasmine is an incredible trainer who quickly identified my joint hypermobility and tailored a program that builds strength without aggravating pain. She finds challenging exercises that keep my joints stable, and thanks to her guidance I’ve gained muscle, increased my overall strength, and significantly reduced day-to-day discomfort. Working with her has genuinely improved my quality of life, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.“

“Signed up for personal training sessions with Sarah and it has been amazing. She is encouraging, thoughtful, and adaptable—she challenges me while also staying aware of my safety and comforts. And she makes the sessions super fun. Thanks Sarah! Highly recommend!“

“I was a client of Powerform for about 8 months and couldn't be happier with my experience! The facilities are clean, and the supportive atmosphere kept me motivated while I was in the midst of a workout rut. What stood out to me the most was the thoughtful programming of workouts to help me reach my fitness goals.

Each session was designed to target relevant muscle groups while incorporating proper form and technique, which was crucial for my progress and reduced risk for injury. With access to a variety of strength training equipment and expertise from the coaches, I was able to significantly improve my upper body strength. I achieved my goals of increasing my bench press and completing a pull-up — something I once thought was out of reach!

Scheduling sessions was simple, and I appreciated the responsiveness of the owner, who was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. Highly recommend this gym for anyone looking to get started on or elevate their fitness journey!“
