Trainers near San Leandro

“I have only taken a few one on one personal training sessions but I already see a difference.“

“Had my first class here at Barry's a few days ago. The staffers are informative and helpful, the space is clean and seemingly well-maintained; the class and the instructors were very clear with their coaching for the group class. The space felt very disorienting at first with low-light and loud sound, but once you get settled, it seems fine. My observation is around hygiene and cleanliness. During the class sessions, no one seems to be wiping down their equipments in between use, which seemed very gross especially during a sweat-inducing class. Perhaps there's more encouragement from the instructions to do so during the session?“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“It took my partner and me a while to get back into a gym routine, but I’m so glad we chose Body Mechanix. I initially felt overwhelmed—especially with weights and equipment we weren’t familiar with—but Minh made all the difference. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and does a great job breaking everything down step by step, which helped us build confidence, strength, and consistency.

The gym itself has a welcoming, supportive community and excellent trainers. I highly recommend Body Mechanix whether you’re brand new to the gym or more experienced—you’ll feel comfortable and supported either way.“

“Pinpoint provides the most personalized training I've ever experienced, and I've worked with a lot of trainers. I always feel so cared for and they're always teaching me new ways to improve my training. I've learned so much about how to strengthen my body that I'm literally a brand new woman!!! Thanks Pinpoint!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome place that I took my kids to introduce them the Jiu-Jitsu. Easy to find location, and the coaches and staff their are super friendly and welcoming. I am signing up both of my son's in the next two weeks!!!“

“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 honestly was very skeptical and anxious about joining this gym knowing the way Oakland is. But to my surprise, it has a very pleasant atmosphere without any loud obnoxious activity and the equipment is well maintained. There seems to be no loud music at all which is great. It also is very clean, which matters a lot when it comes to joining a gym. The parking lot is very safe and clean, which is very pleasing so I don’t have to worry about any theft or break-ins. Overall it is a very nice and safe gym. I give huge appreciation to the owner and the manager for Making this gym very welcoming and pleasant for everyone.
I just hope it continues to stay this way.“

“I highly recommend Michael as a personal trainer, especially if you are older and have injuries. He is very thoughtful with his choice of routines and listens to you if you need to change things up. I am definitely on the right path with his mindful approach and encourage you to give him a try!“

“Powerlifting wise is good, came here when I won a competition. definitely not a bodybuilders gym. but only open for 5 hours? Why would I spend 120$ month to go a gym that’s closed most of the day and closed on Sunday? 24 hour fitness is 100% the better option for your money and overall equipment.“

“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❣“

“I work shifts from 10am - 10pm 6 days a week and I would gym around 12am or later due to my work schedule. The gym is always clean and the staff are respectful as well. I just haven’t been able to gym at this specific location in a few weeks due to the hours always changing around and already being closed when I arrive. I just wish it stayed 24hours. Other than that great people and very clean and organized.“

“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!“

“I’m going to be honest, I love this gym and they all been anything but cool towards me they have treated me well even when I’ve changed me bank account card and the new one hadn’t been registered as a new payment method they would still let me go in, but today my friend who has been training and she loves this gym she had requested a new bank account and didn’t set it up as a new payment method there was this security who gave her a hard today at 4:45am in the morning maybe there was a language barrier but I decided to step in and asked him if he would let her go in and once she was done she would done it and he refused to let go in why did not he let her in and behind her was another dude that was allowed in within checking in and my friend who’s a regular member wasn’t allowed in! There was another guy but he’s new working there it was understandable!“

“Awesome facilities and people. Great mix of family atmosphere with people training hard while being supportive.“

“Anthony is fantastic and all his classes are challenging but still fun and always different! Very reasonably priced and worth it!“

“I have been coming to Symetry for about 3 months. I have severe scoliosis. I am 60 years old. I came with lots of lower back pain, including sciatica pain on my whole left leg. I was unable to hike or mountain bike without pain. But now with treatment and getting used to the scoli brace they made for me, I am pain free! They have an amazing approach to treat sciliosis.“

“"I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a spring declutter & detox journey hosted by Gloria Kamil of Total Fitness Transformation. I must say, the experience was outstanding, the complete journey was outlined from beginning to end. This cleansing journey was the catalyst that allowed me to reconnect and develop a healthier relationship with the right foods and improve my overall health. Gloria's expertise and dedication to her clients alone with knowledge has helped me reach my desired goal. With exercise and making the right food choices I have lost a total of 22 lbs. in 2 1/2 months. Thanks Gloria“
