Trainers near Menlo Park

“I had never had personal training, but I needed to do something different after a couple years behind a desk. Hitting the gym in isolation was sounding tedious, and was too easy to put off.Even after 15 sessions, I am noticing a huge different in my body, flexibility, and energy levels. Aside from being a great guy, Max has a vast portfolio of exercises, stretches, rolls, and cardio to pull from. He tailors every session and constantly introduces me to movements I have never done before.The result is a super engaging workout, with a ton of compound movements mixed with new variations on conventional exercises, and a very holistic approach to balance, stability, and health. I plan to continue working with Max, but a lot of what he is teaching me will stick with me for the rest of my life.Very highly recommended.“

“Had a taster session and it was extraordinary. I usually work out on Nautilus and universal gym with a trainer. This session pushed me in a fresh and really fast way. - I was in and out in 22 minutes! Going back for more! Thanks Perfect Workout Menlo Park!“

“Palo Alto fitness is the perfect place to kickstart your journey on becoming more active and focused on your fitness goals. I had worked with one of the personal trainers in the industry, Kirby who is real passionate about fitness and is an experienced athlete who loves to give back and help others to reach their goals. Palo Alto fitness had struck gold with Kirby!“

“Really fun atmosphere and the head trainer/manager Jess is so friendly and brings THE BEST energy to every class. Highly recommend for a quick and efficient full body workout.“

“I love OrangeTheory. Workouts are amazing but more than that.. their front desk people are AMAZING.

They make so much difference in the experience. They genuinely understand the problem, they are kind and go extra mile to provide service. 10/10.. Sometimes I am having such tough time in office but then I see such kind people and it makes my day.

Also.. I love Kalli .. she is the best coach.“

“I was a bit intimidated with weightlifting when I started at Gym Class Rocks years ago, but it was the perfect place to get started. Not only was the owner of the gym, Shannon, very accommodating in teaching me the exercises and helping me adjust the workout to my specific needs, but the entire community of women was as well. Once I started getting stronger and was ready to increase my weights, I could look to this wonderful community of strong women for inspiration and advice on form, weights, and life. And, perhaps most important for me, whenever I skip several weeks due to life getting in the way, I am always welcomed back by Shannon and the community as if I hadn’t been gone at all.“

“I'm so glad I found More Than Fitness and started weight training with Matty. I used to have a fitness club membership. I would get motivated for a few weeks, but then I would stop going, so of course, I never saw any real improvement. With Matty, I lift weights twice a week and I am getting so strong! It's amazing how getting stronger makes life easier! I first found Matty last November. He offers a free fitness assessment at his gym in Redwood City on El Camino (across the street from Burger King). After the assessment, you can decide if you want to work with him. If you need a trainer who will keep you safe while you become stronger, then I highly recommend Matty.“

“I had the pleasure of working with an incredible personal trainer, Tayo, for almost two years, and he helped me get in the best shape and version of myself for my wedding. I had gained weight during covid in 2020 and he helped me lose the weight, gain muscle, confidence, feel the best version of myself and getting in the best shape of my life. Tayo was very committed to my success. Tayo's passion for his work was evident in every session we had together. He wasn't just a trainer, he was a motivator, a mentor, and a genuine cheerleader throughout my fitness journey. Has positive energy encouragement pushed me beyond my limits, and I found myself achieving milestones. What sets Tayo apart is his genuine care for his clients. He wasn't just interested in the numbers on the scale, but he actually cared about my overall well-being and confidence. His attention to detail and ability to tailor workouts to my strengths and weaknesses made each session challenging yet incredibly rewarding. I love the feeling I get after I have a good workout with Tayo. All the trainers and staff at fitSF are incredible and know what they are doing. You can tell by seeing how happy their clients are at the gym. My wedding day wouldn't have been the same without training at FitSF studio for the big day and I'm forever grateful for the positive impact Tayo and FitSF studio had on my life. They are truly amazing people. I'm no longer working out but I miss seeing Tayo, John and some of their regular clients and trainers there!“

“Erron is great! I’ve been working out with him for a while now and have definitely seen a lot of progress. He’s very flexible with how I like to structure my sessions and always finds ways to keep our workouts interesting.“

“Dr. Kelly and the gym are great. A breath of fresh air after the gyms I've gone to in the past - happy to have finally found this place!“

“I’m here twice a week to take their Zumba class. Very clean facility and friendly staff“

“My wife and I have been working with Jason for years and we truly cannot say enough good things about him. He has everything you want in a trainer: professionalism; unparalleled expertise on all things health and wellness related; and a kind, friendly approach that will appeal to anyone. He knows just how hard to push you so you are always advancing, but not so much that you risk injuries, or become too intimidated to continue. He is open-minded, creative, and collaborative. For people who are pregnant or thinking of becoming pregnant, know that he helped train my wife throughout her pregnancy and afterwards. Without a doubt, he is the reason that my wife was able to follow her own birth plan-the doctor was skeptical that she would be able to deliver without a C-section given the size of our baby and because she had spent 2 days in labor before beginning to push. But Jason had helped prepare her-both her core and her stamina-and she was able to deliver our kid safely in under 2 hours. The doctor called her the 'best pusher' she's ever seen-and that is because of Jason. In other words, he is perfect. Jason is also just a funny, smart, and interesting guy to be around-we have enjoyed not just working with him, but becoming his friend. We trust him with our life, and you will, too.“

“Kip is probably the first trainer who ever really listened to what I was saying and had a realistic path to progression. It's the first time I really saw the benefits of fitness training as opposed to just suffering without seeing any results. I wish I had someone like Kip 20 years ago. Kip is about action and focus which is what you need as a beginner when there's so much noise out there. He often brings equipment for home visits which is a benefit since you can decide what you might want to get next for your home setup. When it comes to sessions in the gym he can help you get the most out of what's available there too.“

“Awesome gym and even better team! They have everything you need from classes, free gym time, and chiropractor. Highly recommend if you're looking for a new gym in the area!“

“I've been training with Lanthony for a little over nine months now and have seen an amazing transformation over that time span. This is my first time body building and hitting the gym regularly to lift weights. Lanthony made sure I understood the equipment, exercises and he played close attention to my form throughout. He was able to provide a challenging workout while working around existing injuries. Lanthony is bringing the energy, dedication and passion for his craft every session and is keeping me motivated throughout.“

“I've always been athletic and have been working out consistently since the age of 15. But recently I got to a point where I really wanted to change things up a bit, and challenge myself. A friend had high praises for Dowling Fitness, so I decided to see what it was all about. Once I shared my goals and how important it was to change things up, Kevin came up with a plan that ended up being exactly what I was looking for. The UFC oriented workout routine was just the "kick in the butt", change of pace that I needed! It was amazing! I highly recommend going with Dowling Fitness. You'll be glad you did!“

“I have been training with Charles twice a week for 18 months--the results have been extraordinary- a total body transformation. I initially had debilitating back pain and had tried everything from patches and shots to spinal decompression with no relief. Within months of working with Charles, the pain was completely gone. His wide breadth of knowledge on all things fitness is remarkable. I have leg strength for the first time in my life and I am in the best shape of my life. I had never deadlifted a year ago and recently lifted 390 straight bar from the floor. Charles has motivated me get cardio in everyday now, and I truly enjoy each strength training session. I could go on and on- bottom line: priceless training, the highest recommendation!“

“First, a bit of background. Over the past few years, due to the pandemic, I've been holed up at home eating and drinking excessively without exercising, and my weight has skyrocketed. My belly has also puffed up, and since I mostly write code while sitting, I start to have neck & back pain.

Under my girlfriend’s coercion and persuasion, I started looking for personal trainers near the Peninsula. I found that most options were either large gyms offering training courses or personal trainers at regular gyms. However, regular gyms are too crowded for me, and the equipment is unhygienic, so they weren’t an option.

One day, I stumbled upon Wayne’s social media account account and saw that he shared a lot of useful information, including dietary advice. His fitness philosophy resonated with me, and he owns his own studio, which has a good environment and complete equipment. Since it's by appointment only, there are very few people, which fits my needs. This studio is located in downtown San Mateo, and there’s a small parking lot right behind the gym, making it very convenient.

With a try-it-out mindset, I took classes for two months, and the results were remarkably significant. I train every Wednesday and Friday at 8 a.m., with each session lasting an hour. I highly recommend my coach, Mark. He’s a very approachable guy who excels at encouragement-based teaching [doge]. He creates tailored plans for me; I have mobility issues with my left arm and neck, and he focuses on these areas during our sessions, providing me with suggestions for exercises to do at home. Since I’m reluctant to go to a gym, he also teaches me exercises that I can do with just body weight and simple dumbbells or kettlebells. Throughout the course, Mark has been very professional and meticulous, carefully demonstrating each move and correcting my form. He always asks if I have any questions, patiently explaining the muscles targeted by each exercise and its purpose and significance. Overall, after two months, my body fat has significantly decreased, my strength has greatly improved, and my upper body flexibility has also improved quite a bit. I've also learned many specialized exercises that are suitable for me. I highly recommend giving it a try!“

“I've been seeing Dr Sepulveda for a few years now. Her care and precision when working with me has been a huge blessing to help rehab many of my legacy injuries that have impacted my current spine and posture - as well as other ailments. I'm confident that her CBP approach can help anyone in need so I encourage everyone to reach out to her to improve your wellness and overall health.“

“I completed my 12 week transformation about a month ago and it was excellent! Not only did I lose 24 pounds, my trainer Stephanie has helped me to rehab from several injuries including a bad turned ankle, a wonky shoulder, and a sciatic/hip strain. Her level of care and attention is something I've never felt before and it's special. Michael, Charles, and the other trainers also offer this detailed level of care and everyone's attitude is so encouraging. I am walking taller, with more ease, comfort, and confidence than ever before. Thank you, Stephanie, and thank you, Michael and Training Space!“

“Dina really keeps me on my toes and on track to reach my goals. My #1 goal is to never be a "little old lady", no matter what my age. The sessions are just the right length of time and I am already feeling stronger, more flexible and more fit.“

“Dom has been a tremendous help with adjustments and even treating RS. for many years. Great team and friendly vibes.“

“Best fitness trainer EVER!!! I can say that since I've had three pretty great ones in the past and my standards are pretty high for what I look for in a trainer. Danielle is very professional and makes my workouts fun so they fly by right away. Love the flexibility that is offered as I'm pretty busy most days. If I could give her six stars I would. Ready to sign up for more sessions soon.“

“DefineIt is a wonderful gem of a gym! Shari Gower is such a positive motivator and a wonderful personal trainer. She really knows her stuff and I always have a fabulous time seeing her! Her location is convenient - right off of 101 - and it's such a great space! Always clean, never crowded, and you get great personalized attention! Shari keeps the workouts challenging but really fun at the same time. Seeing Shari keeps you accountable for your program and every session with her has been a great use of time! Very professional and efficient. I honestely love going to see Shari at DefineIt - she'll be the motivation you need to stay focused and on track! Shari is simply the best and I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a personal trainer.“

“Frederick has been my trainer for many years, but I don't think I have ever had the same workout. He is a great motivator and is consistently working on getting you toward your goal.“

“I've been going about 8 months, my first exposure to Tai Chi. The teachers seem to have a martial arts perspective, but even if you are not interested in that perspective (I'm not particularly) it gives a certain focus and emphasis to the teaching, and you can really see the layers of learning you can acquire if you stay with it. I have noticed not that many beginners make it all the way through (it takes 5-6 months continual attendance), but there are a core of experienced attendees, and any one of them can be your teacher on a night ... even if they aren't the designated teacher for the night they are happy to emport some of their "body wisdom".“

“I started training with Jin fairly recently because I noticed he had a lot of similar running experience, and I wanted to add some strength training to my marathon training program. He's very knowledgeable and also an awesome person - highly recommend!“
