Trainers in San Francisco

“Dropped in while I was travelling through San Fran. Incredibly welcoming team, a fantastic location and awesome gym full of everything you need to get a workout in. A real shame I wasn’t staying longer!! Well done guys 10/10“

“Diakadi has excellent coaches you have helped me get my body back after covid and have built my strength and endurance up. Thanks to my trainer Cole I feel better than ever (and look better than ever :).“

“My wife and I have been training weekly with Brandon Tran at Custom Fit in Hayes Valley for nearly two years. We initially sought out his expertise following an accident that required reconstructive surgery on my knee. I had such a great experience with Brett Lando at Custom fit that after physical therapy, we decided to pursue couples personal training at Custom Fit.

Prior to starting with Brandon, we were complete neophytes at the gym -- neither of us had stepped foot in one since high school. Our main goals were to generally increase our fitness levels and build strength as we enter middle age.

Brandon has been a fantastic partner and has supported us immensely in this journey. He has created tailored routines that have helped me continue to pursue my goals, even after my surgery, and helped us both significantly increase our strength and overall fitness. Neither my wife nor I ever thought we would be interested in going to the gym or hiring personal trainers, but we are extremely happy with Brandon and would recommend him to anybody.

We also appreciate the atmosphere at Custom Fit. The gym serves a large variety of clients, from serious powerlifters to older individuals who are maintaining their fitness and everybody in between, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment for all fitness levels.“

“It’s my first time having a trainer. And I can say coach Junior loves what he does. He really helps his clients to achieve their goal but also really understanding and cares about each individual’s unique needs. He’s always really straight forward and takes step by step to get closer to our goals. I always look forward to our sessions!!!“

“I've been training with Alex for a few years now and working with him is one of the highlights of my day! He is just an awesome coach - very knowledgeable, personable, and positive. He is great at explaining complex movements, watching how you move and giving great feedback. I've been able to learn how to rope climb, do double-unders, string toes to bar, and achieve many personal weightlifting records thanks to his insightful cues. As an athlete I've grown so much as an athlete and I am so grateful for his guidance and expertise.“

“I can't express how amazing my experience at this intimate private training gym has been. The setup is perfect – a small, personal area dedicated solely to you and your personal trainer, creating an environment that fosters focus and dedication.Anthony, my personal trainer, deserves a huge shoutout for his outstanding commitment and positive energy. His enthusiasm is contagious and makes every session a joy. Anthony goes above and beyond to push you to your limits, helping you discover strengths you didn't know you had.Despite the gym's size, it's equipped with everything you need for a strenuous workout. The attention to detail in providing the necessary equipment is impressive, ensuring that every exercise is effective and tailored to your fitness goals.If you're looking for a place that offers personalized attention, a positive atmosphere, and a trainer who genuinely cares about your progress, this gym is the perfect fit. I can't recommend it enough – my fitness journey has been transformed, thanks to this exceptional training experience!“

“I found Flagship when I was recovering from an injury and interested in giving CrossFit workouts a try, and the coaches here are amazing! Nikki, Anais, and Liz do a great job of introducing each exercise, and it feels like there's a good amount of personal attention even when the classes are larger. The coaches make sure you feel comfortable with the movements and have the proper form, and help adjust workouts for any injuries. The equipment is really nice and the gym is spacious, so I enjoy coming here to exercise. I like that the workouts are published in advance so I know what I'm getting into, and I also really appreciate that they have multiple membership options, all transparently priced on their website. Joining Flagship was an excellent decision, and I'm looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with them!“

“Justin is amazing! Takes the time and energy to understand pain points and come up with real solutions! Couldn’t recommend enough!!“

“I have been going to Kauno for the past two weeks for my physical therapy. Lindsay Hendrickson and her team provides excellent care. The staff are all professionally trained and responsive to your concerns and needs. Overall, friendly, safe, and clean environment. I highly recommend this place.“

“I first recommended to ASP from a teammates parent when my older daughter Nelly tore her ACL in high school. I was so pleased to to see the care and patience they had for her in her recovery and helped her back to return for her senior year. Excellent staff and a very knowledgeable team that developed a perfect program for her needs. It eventually lead her to major in Kinesiology in college and currently is wrapping up her masters. I was so pleased with their professionalism that we enrolled our youngest , currently in 8th grade, in a program for her strength and conditioning. They were able to detect a possible injury waiting to happen as my daughter tended to walk inward which could’ve lead to a knee injury. I’m glad to say they fixed the problem with a great program. She’s been there for almost 2 years and had comments from several coaches on how strong and fit she has become ( not so lucky for those who play against her lol). If you are looking for overall conditioning orRecovery, this is the place to be. It also prepared my daughter , not only for the physical part, but the mental. She built her strong mentality that ultimately got her accepted to her future high school SHC ! ASP is perfect for the mind and body!!Thank you Jack, Jared and Hannah at ASP!!!“

“Fit springs are so much and effective! They are great for everybody! Jill is amazing, knowledgeable, and kind.“

“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.“

“All trainers are friendly and amazing, all while whooping your a$$ Great community environment and applicable for all levels of fitness.“

“Have been going to this gym over a year now. Love how it is never too crowded, staff always friendly, and good music. It’s clean & I already think it’s awesome, even more awesome: they are remodeling the entire gym this month!!! I’m so excited. The gym manager Daniel is great and helped me sign up last year - very glad I joined Live Fit! Love my Polk st location.“

“Jeff is great! He came to our place a few weeks in a row to help me and my husband correct our workout form/posture. I love it that he uses different analogies or explanations to help me understand what the correct form should look like, and also helping me create a workout program that can help me build bone density. He has a great attitude, is always punctual and is also super responsive to all my email/text questions. Thank you, Jeff!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Marty, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I came to him with two main goals: addressing some knee pain and improving my dance performance with a more well-rounded approach to strength and mobility.

From day one, Marty’s depth of knowledge and passion for movement stood out. He has a strong background in kettlebells, but he doesn’t limit himself there. He brings an interdisciplinary lens, always connecting the dots between strength, mobility, longevity, and real-world performance. He’s rigorous and detail-oriented, with an incredible eye for form. Instead of just running me through sets, he made sure I understood the “why” behind everything we were doing.

He very quickly identified the root cause of my knee pain, and gave me precise exercises to fix it. Within weeks, I felt a real difference.

Beyond rehab, he looked at my dance training and lifestyle, and challenged me to think about what my “missing link” was to not only take my physical base to the next level, but also set myself up for longevity. He’s savvy about how to personalize training to your unique situation - not just in movements but also how you incorporate training into your lifestyle.

Each session was essentially a mix of training and hands-on education. I didn’t just get stronger from working with Marty, he taught me how to think critically about my movement, my longevity, and my potential. He’s essentially a fountain of knowledge (he’s got a LOT of passion, and you can tell he does a vast amount of self-study because he loves it!), and his eye for detail and corrections are on a class of its own.

He’s tough and rigorous in all the ways you want a coach to be, and if you truly dedicate yourself to the work and to being the best student possible, results are sure to come.

Im grateful to Marty, and recommend to anyone thinking of working with him!“

“Took a transformational class with Eric today. Great blend of movement, mantras, and music. I left feeling relaxed -mind and body :)“

“I've been going to Perfect Fit Training for over 5 years and can't imagine working out anywhere else. It's such a relief to train in a small, friendly space instead of fighting for equipment at the bigger gyms. Jasmine has been my trainer this whole time and she's amazing - she knows exactly when to push me harder and when to dial it back depending on what's going on in my body and life. I am excited to continue my fitness journey at Perfect Fit!“

“When I first joined this gym a year ago, I couldn't run for many weeks due to severe runner's knee. Fast forward to now, I just completed my first full marathon in over 3.5 years! Thanks to the amazing coaches and classmates who've made strength training fun and effective. I'm now back on track with my love of marathons because of Advanced Wellness.“

“I found the firm from a friends recommendation to see Chris after dealing with some low back challenges that kept creeping up when I would incorrectly train. The Firm offers private group training, so a 3:1 ratio of people to trainer. I found it a great way to get personalized help without paying private training rates. Highly recommend Chris or Gary, they both are very kind/professional/taught me a lot on form. JJ the owner is also very nice and was almost always there when I was in. The community is nice and felt very comfortable/supportive and helped me stay consistent. The only con is the times to book were pretty competitive to sign up for especially for morning slots.“

“I'm very glad I checked this place out. I look forward to my weekly sessions. Feeling great.“

“As a brand new personal trainer, I started working with Billy to build and systemize my business in order to attract clientele. The Business Movement took me through a meticulous step-by-step process of what I needed to achieve to become a professional in the fitness realm. With his regularly scheduled check-ins, he kept me on track and answered any and all questions I had about the process and my direction as a business. TBM has allowed me to differentiate my practice between other trainers in my area, systemize my process for new clients to save me time outside of training, create my business website, and make my vision into my profession. I am now confident in my ability to run a business which is something I'd had never had before TBM. Couldn't have done it without Billy.“

“Elle is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely kind. She truly listens to your workout needs and concerns, which makes the entire process feel personal and supportive. She's dedicated to helping you achieve your fitness goals.

What sets Elle apart is her intense focus on form and movement. She ensures that even the smallest details matter, which guarantees you get the most out of every workout safely. She knows exactly when to motivate and when to push you, and the accountability she provides is unmatched. If you are serious about seeing real, sustainable results, book a session with Elle!!“

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

“If you're looking for a personal trainer who can MOTIVATE you to get your butt to the gym and establish fitness habits for life, Dane is your dude.If you're looking for a personal trainer who will thoughtfully craft a program just for YOU (including your nutrition) so you can achieve that goal of yours - whether it's gaining strength, losing weight, or something in between - Dane is your dude.Dane knows what the **** he's talking about, and his programs simply work.BACKGROUND:I came in weighing 172lb and classic "skinny-fat". With some on-and-off gym experience, I had never fully committed to my fitness regiment and my body proved it. I needed someone who could tell me what to do, keep me accountable, and help me establish a habit of exercise to keep me healthy for a long time.First session with Dane was a free consult where we talked my history of fitness, reasons why I couldn't keep consistency/progress, and my overall goals. Dane listened, took contemporaneous notes, and even gave me basic nutrition recommendations to consider before we started working together.A few days later I began my first session, and Dane took it from there. He designed a plan that fit exactly what I needed - something that first ESTABLISHED a habit and then set the stage for a 12 month program designed to hit my goals.Dane keeps me accountable by checking in EVERY session about my nutrition, my sleep, and my overall wellness. He listens to feedback my body is giving during a program and quickly adapts to ensure we're keeping on track to the goal and achieving maximum results.We've done multiple lifting and strength programs, hence showing Dane's ability to pull from his deep, deep knowledge-base of anatomy, fitness programming, and nutrition to truly customize what we're doing in each session to my body.RESULTS:Pretty insane. With Dane's 12 month training program, my lifts went from:- Squat: 145lb > 285lb- Bench: 135lb -> 215lb- Deadlift: 225lb -> 405lbMy total of 905lb at 185lb body weight is a huge accomplishment for me, and something that I would have never been able to do alone.I gained approx 15lb of muscle and lost a couple pounds of chubs.At the end of the day, you can have a personal trainer who has all the accolades, personality, experience, etc., but if they don't get you the results you are looking for, then it's been a failed encounter.With Dane, he knows exactly how to apply his skillset to achieve your desired outcome. Highly recommend this guy.“
