Trainers near Kensington

“I can't say enough good things about Fuze Fitness in Kensington. I've always struggled to keep a regular exercise schedule and in my middle age, that failure really began to take its toll. I joined Fuze about 6 months ago and have lost a significant amount of weight, and more importantly have gotten much stronger. It has been a very positive experience. It is a super supportive environment and very straightforward process. I gulped at spending the money when I first started, but honestly, this money is well-spent, as it has actually worked to keep my body and mind healthy. This is a wonderful place and I would recommend it to anyone.“

“I have been struggling with getting my fitness journey for quite some time until I started working out at TNT. Eric really helped break down for me on what was necessary to meet my goal. He made it so easy to understand which workouts were needed and what my form should be, especially since that was something I always had difficulty with. He was able to make going to gym fun for me and I look forward to our sessions every week. I have never seen so much progress in such a short amount of time and I can’t wait to continue my fitness journey with TNT.“

“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 :).“

“Alison is the best. I have been working out with her, on and off, for the past eight years. I have worked with her in both group, fitness classes and in personal training sessions. Over the years, Alison has helped me to feel fit and strong, even through pregnancy. I highly recommend working with her.“

“I have been going to Truve for classes since 2017 and I remain a loyal fan. Classes I have taken include TRX, dance, various iterations of Bootcamp and HIIT. The instructors are now friends after all this time. Come and check it out“

“I've been doing semiprivate Muay Thai classes with Dr. Lin for a few months, and they're great!He obviously brings a *ton* of expertise to his instruction, but since he's also a physical therapist and a generally cool dude, the classes avoid the macho "fight culture" attitude that turned me off martial arts after studying tae kwon do for about 10 years. Although he's great about pushing you to expand your limits, he never does so in a way that's demeaning or negative, and he's very cognizant about creating an environment that's safe both culturally -- nobody's pushed into a sparring situation where they could get hurt -- and physically, because he understands the body in a deeper way than the average martial artist.He's also very communicative and helpful about appointments and scheduling!“

“I have been to many gyms in my life and have had 3 other personal trainers, and 9Round with Dave and Ovi is hands-down the best I have ever been to! I usually have a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym but I look forward to my 9Round workouts every week. When you enter, everyone greets you warmly. While you work out, trainers and other gym-goers cheer you on and motivate you. When you leave, you're congratulated on a great workout and walk out of the door with a smile on your face. It truly is a wonderful experience from start to finish. Be ready to work, though! 9Round provides a high intensity, full body workout. They also offer body mapping and consultation, which has helped me orient my workout and weight loss goals. Dave also provides me with tons of nutrition tips and challenges that have made a huge difference for me! I truly cannot say enough good things about this gym, so sign up already!“

“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.“

“After six years of trying out a half dozen private and big box gyms, and several strength-based group classes like F45 and Barry's, I can say without hesitation that the hype around Flagship is warranted. I saw my confidence and overall fitness soar over just five months of regular attendance. Kudos to the Flagship team for building such a fun, friendly, and inclusive space (their claim about having the friendliest coaches is true).It's also true that it's the most expensive fitness membership I've ever held, and Flagship's excellent coaches — Jon, Zach, Nikki, and Anaïs — and flexible memberships team have made it an *investment* worth every penny for me. Facilities are clean and well-maintained; personalized attention and safety has been central to every class I've attended.Dog-lovers would be well-advised to take Zach's morning classes, who also has impeccable class music selections :)“

“When I first moved to the area a few years ago, I was tentatively excited when I saw that there was a promising-looking weightlifting gym so close to my new place. A couple hundred visits later (but who's counting?) I am happy to report that Bay Strength is by far the most supportive and inclusive environment I could imagine for anyone looking to lift for the first time, or just trying to escape the weird vibes & preening egos that so often suffuse big commercial gyms.All of the coaches are friendly and expert at tailoring their guidance to your goals and experience level. Notably too, all of the gym's co-owners are also coaches, and the pride they take in what they've built is evident, as is the care they take to maintain the gym's low-key, welcoming culture. They are also just very real; there's no pressured upselling or complicated membership tiers -- they truly just want to work with you individually or in small groups to help you get stronger. You can lift heavy things at other places, sure, but your chances of both enjoying it and sticking with it are way higher at Bay Strength than anywhere else I can think of.“

“I recently joined Strong Island Fitness LLC and I'm thoroughly impressed! From the moment I stepped into the gym, I felt welcomed by the friendly and knowledgeable staff. The facility is always clean and well-maintained, which makes for a great workout environment.The variety of equipment and classes offered is a major plus. Whether you're into weightlifting, cardio, or group fitness classes, there's something here for everyone. The instructors are fantastic—they really know how to motivate you and make sure you get the most out of each session.What I appreciate the most is the sense of community. It's not just a gym; it's a place where you're encouraged by both the staff and fellow gym-goers. This supportive atmosphere makes it a lot easier to stick with your fitness goals.Overall, if you're looking for a top-notch fitness experience on Long Island, Strong Island Fitness LLC is the place to be. I highly recommend it!“

“Huge thanks to coaches Chelsea and Mark for creating such a unique space where you can learn jiu-jitsu at a very high level, while maintaining a wholesome, family-friendly environment!“

“I recently had the privilege of working with Jonathan during my rehabilitation journey following an ankle injury.One of the things that immediately stood out to me was Jonathan's comprehensive understanding of the brain-body connection and its impact on injury recovery. Instead of focusing solely on traditional physical therapy exercises, he incorporated innovative techniques and helped me understand the unnecessary limitations my brain was forcing upon my body.Jonathan took the time to assess my specific needs and crafted a tailored program that addressed not just the symptoms of my injury, but also the underlying issues contributing to it. Through a combination of neurologically-based exercises, balance drills, and coordination activities, he helped me regain strength, mobility, and confidence in my injured ankle.I can confidently say that working with Ingersoll Fitness allowed me to recover from my injury quicker.If you're looking for a trainer who goes above and beyond the conventional methods to facilitate injury recovery, enhance functional movement, and longterm wellness, Ingersoll Fitness is the way to go.“

“After injuring my shoulder shoveling snow while in the mountains during snowpocalyose last winter, I knew it was time to get my body back in shape. Enter, Bliss Fitness and Health! From the first Rebel Recess class that I took, I have never felt more comfortable (except for the burpees!!) or more welcomed into a fitness space. The teachers are fantastic; the space is gorgeous; and most importantly after every class I feel euphoric, strong, and, dare I say, filled with bliss.“

“I was grabbing a juice from Got Juiced and after chatting with the manager Tarrell found out he was the owner of Body Mechanix. After hearing about my struggle with back pain when lifting he offered to give me tips on my form and did an incredible stretch session that honestly left me feeling 2 inches taller! I got to meet the manager in Body Mechanix too and they were both so friendly and professional. Thanks for the kindness to someone who isn't even a member (yet) Tarrell. He's the real deal, highly recommend the staff there.“

“I began training with Abu in 2022 however our work together was cut short by a family tragedy. I came to him in October of 2023 with a specific goal in mind. I needed to get fit for a week of skiing in Canada planned for the last week of January 2024. Prior to getting started, Abu patiently listened as I explained that I was prepared to push myself to get in maximum shape. He outlined a program of skiing related exercises, gradually increasing the intensity, to have me peak for my trip. The compact facility is well equipped. His ability to explain and illustrate movements is extraordinary. I feel he intuitively senses the fine line between asking me for more and recognizing when I have reached exhaustion. He gave me routines to do between sessions with a caution to "not overtrain". The last month included three weeks of high volume rotations (strength, balance, agility, speed, etc.). The final week we tapered to the finish. When I boarded the plane the next day, I knew I was ready. Abu is incredibly knowledgeable and can be a stern taskmaster when needed. He is also warm, funny and welcoming. Training With Abu is a great joy! I highly recommend his services to anyone; from a person reengaging with fitness to dedicated athletes looking to move up to the Next Level.“

“Jill Harris is an amazing trainer, and her development of FitSprings takes exercise -- any kind of technique! -- to the next level and beyond. As someone who has studied ballet since childhood and practices yoga, working out on FitSprings lets me strengthen without being tight and heavy, and builds flexibility and my quick-twitch muscles while keeping my joints and muscles happy, healthy, and well-stimulated. (Never strained -- ever.) There isn't another workout that compares. I just attended Jill's teacher training this weekend, and the possibilities with this equipment are truly endless. I can't praise or recommend Jill Harris and FitSprings enough.“

“Simon and Andrew were awesome! Great trainers with an amazing gym, would definitely recommend to anyone in the area“

“I have been training at The Perfect Workout twice a week since January 7, 2019. If you are looking for personal trainers who meet you at your current abilities and help you achive stamina and strength, this is the perfect place for you. I've lost three inches; and, I am so much stronger! This strength recently came in handy. I had my entire home interior painted, including closets. I was able to assist my son with unassemly and moving my heavy furniture! Thanks to all my trainers over the year in El Cerrito....Chris, Alyssa, Greg, and Melisa!“

“I started my time at Powerform after having my second daughter in April 2023. As someone who has typically engaged in Pilates, the idea of weightlifting was intriguing but intimidating. Max, the owner, was quick to respond to my online inquiry and was able to set me up with two trainers- Mikkie and John. He took time to chat with me about my goals. Shout out to Max for his excellent communication and thought processes for connecting you with particular trainers. John - within seconds, I immediately felt comfortable with John. He always lays out the groundwork for you so you know what to expect. His warmups always get me motivated for what's to come. I love that he is so encouraging and always keeps me on my counts during reps. John is extremely personable, and I truly enjoy our conversations. Mikkie- she has refined my squat game like no other and has pushed me to lift more than I ever expected to. She pushes me in the best way and always gives me opportunities to excel. I truly enjoy her style of training. As a mother of two young children, working out at Powerform has been transformative, to say the least. This has been my time out of the day for myself both mentally and physically. After many years of aimless workouts, I finally feel like I know how to spend my time to get the results I want. I feel stronger than ever, and that is thanks to the wonderful staff at Powerform. Highly recommend!“

“Super fun place to train and lift. The pump classes are high energy and the powerlifting classes are supportive and informative. Really community oriented and they even have a non profit to provide free coaching to Oakland youth. Coach Jason and Pela and all the other trainers are knowledgeable and awesome to work with. Definitely recommend!“

“I was a gym newbie who had the pleasure of working with Jason, who helped me bulk up a good 20+ pounds in the duration of our training together. I'm now more fit, energetic, motivated, and more confident and happy overall. Starting seeing results very quickly, in fact; my friends and family have noticed these changes which I couldn't be happier about.Jason is so knowledgeable in all angles of health and fitness and fosters a welcoming, accessible environment. He'll be able to work with you no matter your goals or experience level. I really appreciated him teaching me all about form and providing accommodations for some physical concerns of mine too -- eg helping navigate workouts with some tendonitis I have, and teaching me methods to deadlift comfortably with a shoulder that can sometimes act up from an injury years back. He is very proactive about preventing injury and promoting effective, tailored workouts for all.Jason has equipped his gym with truly the greatest equipment on the island and for whichever type of training you're in, you'll get his undivided attention. Effective, engaging workouts, and never a boring day! On a personal level, you will be enamored with the rapport that Jason will build with you. He develops strong connections with his clients and is an exceptional conversationalist, listener, storyteller, and has an impressively diverse taste in music. Clean, classy, ambient lighting, outrageously tasty water...invest in yourself and GIVE JASON A CALL.Mahalo!!“

“I've been doing one-on-one training with Mike and highly recommend him. He incorporates boxing drills into strength training - and mixes it up with different techniques every week with exercises I can realistically incorporate into my daily workouts. A great full body workout!“

“Jordan is exceptional at what he does. While he approaches his own work-outs more seriously than anyone else I've seen, he's very kind and patient with his clients to meet them at their edges and helps to push them to their potentials -- he's also hilariously witty! Definitely book with Jordan if you want to have fun reaching your goals with someone who genuinely cares about your progress​​​“

“Great flexible program. This is not a one size fits all program. It is catered to you and what works for you. Sheena is patient and works with you and your needs. Definitely a program to help ease anyone who wants to make healthy lifestyle changes.“
