“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.“

“We love the convenience along with the staff. They have all the equipment needed for a full workout.“

“Love TNT. I feel stronger and healthier ever since I joined. The trainers are all smart regarding body science and their approach emphasizes this knowledge. I feel welcomed every time I walk in the gym. They have been able to make the workout accommodate an injury I have without missing a beat. They push me to my limit and it feels great. Anyone looking for a place to workout that’s encouraging, smart, fun, and based in science, TNT is the place to be.“

“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“

“Dr Lin is one of the most knowledgeable and patient physical therapists in the area. His team is also very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!“

“I moved to Walnut Creek a few months ago -- trying out different gyms -- came across Everfit and since then I incorporated the classes as part of my routine. Chris (the owner) knows what he's doing and every class is intentional. Solid split workouts through the week. He's also an athlete so for me personally I'm a fan of learning and following a training routine from someone who's been there, done that, and still doing it! An added benefit is his dog Kobe being in the mix everytime I'm there! If you're looking for a "I can't wait to workout" type of environment -- Everfit is the place to be!!!! LFG!!!!!!!!“

“Reading the other reviews, I can second all of them. I'd just add that as a woman in her late 60s I feel totally comfortable here. The coaches take everyone seriously and I have never felt talked down to, as can happen in some gyms. There is a lovely balance of serious lifting and socializing between lifts. It has been very fun getting to know people of all ages and life paths I might not have had the chance to meet in the rest of my everyday life. Whether you are a long term, serious lifter, or someone who has never lifted but keeps hearing you probably should (yes I'm especially talking to you my fellow "mature" women) check them out. You will not regret it.“

“My hubby goes to this place on regular basis and he really likes their approach. I also like the fact that he has not got any injury since he switched to this place. I recently attended their women self defense training. I was able to master a few techniques within one session and effectively beat my hubby at home! Very impressed! We plan to send our daughter there once they are able to expand the facility. I think it will be great for their confidence building.“

“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.

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 have had hip pain for two years. I have seen chiropractors, acupuncturists, physiotherapists, sports doctors and physical therapists. It was not until I began working with Jonathan that I felt that I had the information I needed to heal. And heal I have. Jonathan listened carefully to my descriptions of pain, during the times I was not with him, as well as while working with him. Then he tried different exercises until he found the ones that were pain free but improved my mobility and my strength. I am so lucky to have found Jonathan. He is a thoughtful listener and a creative problem solver. He joins a vast knowledge of exercises with a deep well of compassion. I cannot recommend him enough.“

“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.“

“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.“

“This gym is ideal for a working person like myself who needs flexibility in when I get time to work out. I have severe knee and back issues and Vlad the owner has been kind enough to adapt every round workout. He also ensures he is giving time and attention to my form, correcting me and does the same for everyone. The gym is very clean and organized and with the workout set up, there isn't insane crowds so it's a good atmosphere for a workout.“

“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.“

“I signed up to the trial while visiting a friend in Moraga and loved it! Whitney was the trainer I had the most and she was awesome. So welcoming and friendly, always making sure I was pushing myself. Together with Billy they brought the vibes and had great playlists to keep you motivated. I was there for a week and felt like I'd been part of the crew for ages. Couldn't recommend more! Such an awesome team!“

“I can't say enough about Anthony! He is a great trainer and coach, very knowledgeable and a great listener. But he is an even more wonderful person, I am lucky to have met him. My wife and I trained with him together and he is was very responsive to our limitations and our goals. This is a gym I you will look forward to going to and you will feel great after you leave. The facilities are clean, well taken care of, with relatively new equipment everywhere. I feel very fortunate to have learned about Anthony and his gym“

“This is an amazing gym. Training is tailored to your goals and I've worked with 4 different trainers here and they are all so awesome.“

“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!“

“I'm so blessed to be part of the 9Round community! Dave and all of the other trainers here are so kind, so good at what they do and SO supportive. During my first year working out here, I focused on my mental health. What a difference a year makes! 9Round has become the thing that pulls me through hard days - just being part of the beautiful, diverse community of people who come here and getting the encouragement and support from Dave and the crew has meant everything. Now I'm more focused on my physical... and damn does Dave push me in the best ways! I'm down 15 lbs. and feeling so confident and strong. Dave is always willing to connect, hear about your life, offer nutrition and PT advice... it is just such a blessing to receive that kind of love and care in this crazy world we live in!“

“I have an extensive fitness background and I can say without a doubt that Framework is absolutely the BEST gym I have ever been to. Lauren and Jocelyn have created an incredible community with workouts that are scalable to all levels and let you really challenge yourself and have fun while doing it. Whether you're a totally beginner or a competitive athlete, their group workouts are excellent and the variety keeps it fresh and interesting. I seriously and truly can't recommend this place enough. Just take a class and see for yourself, you'll be happy you did it!“

“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 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'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!“

“On the outset, I had talked to a few different trainers, but John had a good vibe and I generally felt confident with his approach to correct form. In addition to being a highly knowledgeable trainer, he's also just a rad human! Definitely recommend giving him a call.I worked out with John 2x a week for over 6 months while easing back into shape. My goals were to gain muscle and avoid injury, and he helped me achieve both. I had a DEXA scan, measuring body fat and lean muscle, before and right at the end of our time together, and I had a pretty big improvement, which we were both stoked about.I knew I would eventually "graduate", and John set me up to be able to move forward on my own in a gym and feel more confident creating workouts for myself. He even checked in with me a few weeks later to see how I was doing and if I needed help decoding any of the machines.“
