Trainers in San Jose

“I stopped by to take a look at the place and the space looked amazing. The way it was setup made me want to participate.
Then the young people that they trained showed up and started working out and having fun. I was sold. I signed up my son and he worked with Bishop twice a week. Since working with coach Bishop he has been increasing in strength and speed but the most important thing was his confidence in himself. What more can I ask for.

I highly recommend this training space for all ages but specifically for teens and young adult but no other gym had programs specifically setup up for my son's age range. Thank you“

“Wasn’t able to stay as long as I wanted due to moving but this place served me well while I was here. Clean. Not packed. All the equipment you need. Great staff.“

“Elite Spartans is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever joined. In just my first month, I’ve already dropped a noticeable amount of weight and body fat, and I’m feeling stronger every week. The results are real, and the support is even better.

Their rotating trainer model is honestly genius. I’ve trained with Victoria, Josh, Adrian, Mauricio, and Noah, and each brings their own style and energy. No repetitive workouts, no burnout—just consistent, motivating coaching that keeps you on your toes.

The vibe here is super positive and welcoming, and the whole team genuinely cares about your progress. If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll actually see results and enjoy showing up, Elite Spartans is it.“

“Coach Corey has been amazing in helping my son improve his listening skills and focus during class. His instructions are clear, consistent, and age-appropriate, and he is very patient with the kids. I’ve seen positive changes in my son’s attention and confidence. We truly appreciate Coach Corey’s effort and dedication.We couldn’t ask for a better coach.“

“Love working out at this F45 location! Very friendly and welcoming instructors who keep you motivated so you always get your best workout in“

“Update: Fiona is the best ! She must greet hundreds of members per week and yet she remembered my name even after I had been in absentia from the gym for a month. WOW! Vim + Vigor, give her a raise, please ??

Gabriel has an awesome name! LOLzzz get that bonus Gabe!“

“I am recovering from multiple injuries and I was intimidated to join a strength training class.However Angeleena made all the difference for me.From making me feel comfortable to offering personalized suggestions Angeleena has been of phenomenal support, making me feel at home and continuously challenge myself.Ange - A BIG THANK YOU.“

“This could in fact, be your life saver.
Developing strong bones and balance, to prevent a fall.
It’s one of 4 key elements of my health & wellness strategy.“

“MD at The Perfect Workout in San Jose truly changed my life. I came in with real concerns and left stronger, healthier, and pain-free.

Training before my ACL surgery was a game-changer. The prehab we did cut my knee rehab time dramatically — literally days instead of weeks. My surgeon and physical therapist were blown away by how fast and strong my recovery was.

On top of that, I had been dealing with sciatica that no one else seemed able to fully solve. MD identified the root cause, addressed it methodically, and it’s been completely cured ever since. No flare-ups, no recurring pain — just gone.

MD is incredibly knowledgeable, precise, and offers personalized coaching. You’re never just “working out” — you’re training with purpose, safety, and long-term results in mind.

If you’re in San Jose and want smart training that actually fixes problems (not just burns calories), this is the place. I couldn’t recommend it more. ?“

“I joined Paradigm CrossFit Gym just 4 months postpartum, feeling incredibly unfit and unsure of myself. I was hesitant to sign up, but this is not your typical gym. It’s alive, welcoming, and far from boring. From day one, I felt like I had joined a loving family and an incredible community.

Don’t hesitate. This place is truly special. You’ll see kids and dogs around, hear laughter between sets, and feel supported no matter your fitness level. The coaches are knowledgeable and genuinely invested in your progress, and the workout buddies are the kind of people who’ll cheer you on every step of the way.

I haven’t been this excited about exercise in years. I’m only 4 weeks in, and I’m already seeing results.“

“What CFCV means to us? It’s a part of our life since we have started. It’s helped both me and my partner to get clarity not just in terms of physical space, but largely where we are and what we need to both in terms of our daily work life and the mental space we are in. The vibe within our CFCV fam is more of a tribe and we have seen members with different experience and strength just keep carrying good vibes over and over again. The support and coaching is just the icing that just comes out to the display with every week we have been here because we all just keep getting better. At the end all that matters is being a better version of yourself than yesterday and CFCV helps in a major way ❤️“

“Roger put me through a workout today that I know I wouldn't have been able to complete two years ago when I started up with Beast Fitness. The results I'm seeing keep me motivated.“

“Joe is an AMAZING personal trainer. I am motivated, challenged, and encouraged to surpass my own limitations. I am impressed with the way he keeps up with my progress via an interactive app. He makes you feel like you are his only client. I appreciate how he comments and makes suggestions on my food choices, and if I am not meeting my walking or exercise goals, he will give me gentle reminders to get back on track. His expectations during our workouts are for me to do my best and push past my own mental blocks on what I think I can do. He is cordial, complimentary, and probably the best fitness choice I have ever made for myself.“

“This is a unique and wonderful gym. I've heard about them first through the silicon valley rainbow chamber of commerce for Birch and iron fitness is a member. My good friend decided to join and with my desire for better Health and fitness took an introductory class with the owner, who is fantastic and warm and friendly by the way, and I was sold. I have the monthly membership and I also am seeing a personal trainer, who is also wonderful and amazing. That that is not at cookie cutter training session that they asked you about your body and your needs and how you move and they really assess what is best for you and your goals. It a small and quaint and they pride themselves. Inclusivity and diversity. It's a small neighborhood gym with a big heart.“

“I started my Jiu Jitsu journey right here in Battle Control MMA. Having tried several Martial Arts in the past before coming here I stepped into the gym wary of one thing. Arrogance.
I was pleasantly surprised by the Instructor and owner Greg Lara's attitude. Is he a humble man? Perhaps a bit more humble than your typical guy, but he is certainly approachable. Too many martial artists think they are better than others and it shows. Some Martial artists are outright thugs. This is not Greg Lara. I trust this man and I respect him.
As for instruction, let me tell you. Jiu Jitsu is one of the deepest martial arts I have tried to learn. You can't help but feel overwhelmed by the complexity of what's happening in each grappling match you engage in. But the great thing is that you experience it in real time and you learn to adapt, to counter, to improvise and overcome. Battle control is a great place to do that.
The classes are about conditioning your body while drilling technique then putting into practice. It's tough, its a little dangerous, and it extremely rewarding.
Battle control is owned by a Christian believer and like any dojo there is an element of spirituality on the mats. This gym bring Jesus to practice and believe me this makes a difference. Humility and care should never be separate from practice as we are competing with each other while using joint locks and chokes that could genuinely harm another person. I believe this is handled very well here.
In essence this is a great place to learn and grow your skills in grappling, wrestling and conditioning. I recommend for anyone who wants to challenge thems lives and I come their shortcomings.“

“Jah is wonderful. My daughter has been training with him for over a year. She is stronger, faster and jumps significantly higher than when she began. Despite how hard she has to work, she loves coming to train.“

“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Grant for several months now, and I can confidently say that he is a very effective personal trainer as per my experience. Not only he is highly skilled in designing effective and personalized workout plans, but he also brings a deep understanding of strength training routines which I feel sets him apart.
Whether it’s adapting exercises for injury recovery, managing chronic conditions, or offering guidance on nutrition and lifestyle changes, Grant approaches everything with professionalism, empathy, and precision. He listened carefully and tailored the approach to my goals and limitations, along with consistently motivating me to push forward in a safe and sustainable way.
His holistic approach has made a significant impact on my overall well-being, and I genuinely look forward to every session. If you’re looking for a trainer who combines fitness expertise with real health insight, I highly recommend Grant.“

“My son loves going to his training. Great place to help kids build their confidence and get them away from social media crap“
