“This place is a great place to workout in. I decided to aim for my goal to workout and hire a trainer. I see why people like to come here because it's not crowded and is such an awesome workout community. Makes me want to do better and reach my goals! I need to mention my trainer Joey! He is the first trainer I felt that really tries to connect and pushes me to my full potential. He really cares and wants me to grow on this health journey. He listens to me and always has a positive can do attitude. He makes me want to workout and reach that goal! I do not regret this decision and hope to continue this wonderful workout journey.“
“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!“
“Gym Class is an amazing place to workout. Not only it has the best leadership (Shannon) guiding all of us, but her fitness knowledge is amazing. Besides that, Shannon makes you feel apart of the community immediately. I can't recommend Gym Class enough I have muscles in my arms and I never had them before. Love Gym Class!“
“I’ve been to other OTF studios and this is one of the best out there. The front desk staff and manager are amazing. The coaches are wonderful and not overbearing. So glad I found this studio in the Bay Area.“
“My experience with Matty at More Than Fitness PT has been great! I started several months ago with the goal of increasing muscle and strength in a safe and injury-free manner. As a woman in her 50's with previous injuries, that's no small order. But Matty has delivered! He even makes it fun, or as fun as it can be, I should say. I honestly feel stronger and am so happy that I took the plunge and called Matty. He set me up with an assessment and from there I purchased 5 training sessions. I had been working out at 24 Hour Fitness on my own for months but not seeing any real improvement. Matty makes it easy for me to stay motivated and to keep getting stronger.“
“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!“
“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 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.“
“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.“
“Let me preface anything I say here with the fact that I am neither a natural athlete, nor have I ever liked working out.With that said, the Tosetti team has somehow gotten me to a point in my life where I can’t imagine a life NOT doing squats, punching bags, wrestling, and swinging swords. It’s probably high time I left a review, since I’ve been going here since September 2018.Fitness classes are like a giant game of “Simon Says.” Coach Melissa and Coach Geralyn are amazing, and some of the warmest, most welcoming people I’ve ever met. Their patience and encouragement when I started these classes went a long way to bolster my confidence. Again, I’ve never liked working out, so I also had no idea what I was doing, and being told what to do did me a whole lot of good. They were happy to start me off with baby steps and add challenges as I progressed, and are always ready to show you alternatives if you have certain limitations, such as joint issues.Wrestling classes—when I say I knew nothing about working out, I knew even less about wrestling. I actually started these classes because of the sword classes (that’s a long story). Coach Paul officially teaches these (with the occasional supervised wrestling sessions from… another Paul), and has somehow shown me, at 5’4’’, how to throw people who tower over me. The classes tend to be a mix of all levels of experience and weight classes, and Coach Paul will often cater his lesson that day to the needs of the class demographic. It’s a whole lot of fun.Lastly, sword classes are what I joined Tosetti Institute for (and since I joined, they’ve added a polearms class to the weapons repertoire). These are not the kind of sword fighting classes that usually come to mind in the modern era, such as the foil fencing you see in the Olympics. We’re talking historical martial arts here, with swords in a variety of sizes and styles—and Coach Paul definitely emphasizes the martial part of the art. This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. He draws form historical texts, but he’s a fighter first and foremost, and that’s what I think really sets his teaching off from other historical fencing schools—if you want to learn how to fight, he will teach you how to fight. I’m going to do a bit of bragging here, but some of our sword fighters are competition-winners (I’m not among them—I’m actually mediocre at best, but I love being able to learn from these awesome people).Really, I could go on and on about how much I love Tosetti Institute, and the people there. This was unfortunately the shortest I could keep this review while doing them any sort of justice, and it’s only an inkling of how much I love this place. Even sadder is the fact that I’ll be moving out of the area in the spring/ summer—of all the things in the SF Bay Area, Tosetti Institute and the people I’ve met there are what I will miss the most, and I don’t think I’ll ever find their equal.“
“Great workout! I’m so pleased that my great trainer is so knowledgeable about avoiding neck injury, an area that has been problematic for me. The one on one training is unique. I’m noticeably stronger. I’m very pleased with the perfect workout!“
“Dom has been a tremendous help with adjustments and even treating RS. for many years. Great team and friendly vibes.“
“I've been training with Charles for a little under 2 years. He's the first personal trainer I've ever had and it's been a transformative experience. I went from never deadlifting to deadlifting 315lbs, among other milestones.Just trust the process with Charles and you'll be amazed with the results.“
“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!“
“Such an awesome trainer! Can't wait for our next sessions! I had never worked out before but she makes it a fun thing to do. 100% Recommended!“
“Clean gym with very good classes. People are happy and professional. Close to home is another big plus.“
“A year ago I was in an accident & had 2 cracked ribs. When I went to physical therapy, I was only receiving electrotherapy but I was really looking for therapy to help me get back to my weight training. When I asked the therapist when I could get back to weight training, he made it seem like it was months away. While at the PT office, I noticed a flyer for APE at the front desk. Since I could barely move my right arm away from my body, I started taking classes with the seniors in hopes to not lose mobility from just sitting while trying to recover. Even though I was probably half the age of the seniors, I started joining the senior class so I could stretch & get back to using weights. A few weeks later I was able to take a general conditioning class which required me to get on a mat & roll on my injured side. In a little over a month I was able to take a Level II Circuit class using heavier weight. My recovery progressed SO much further from exercise when I was barely getting relief from physical therapy or a chiropractor. Thanks to Scott who encouraged me to start taking classes after my injury! I never thought when I was starting with 1 lb dumbbells that in less than 2 months I would be using 20 lbs. Now I am back to lifting 200 lbs on a good day!“
“Coach . Charyl . Is . A . Beast !! I've worked with her for about a little under a year and she never fails to motivate me, show me correct form / technique and knows exactly what to say to push me to that next level. I've seen tremendous improvements in my overall fitness, have lost a significant amount of weight and am just a better personal overall thanks to her efforts ! Highly recommended Coach Charyl, she knows her stuff“
“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.“
“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!“
“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!“
“I'm happy to update my review and give Agile 5 stars for their excellent service and care. After I posted my initial review, I was contacted by Katie, the business manager, who apologized for the billing confusion and offered to work with me to find a solution. My son is back at Agile PT seeing Bianca and making great progress. Thank you, Katie, Bianca, and Agile for your outstanding service and support!“
“Chiropractor Dr. Drew is awesome. He is really knowledgeable and helped me eliminate the frequent headaches/migranes I was dealing with. Highly recommended him!“
“Pain free for many months now. CBP has been life changing. It’s changing my posture and Dr. Minet is great!“
“Working with Wayne has been a game-changer for my fitness journey and my first-ever personal training experience. He's not only a fantastic trainer but also an incredible motivator. Under his guidance, I've successfully shed 20 lbs and built muscle, feeling stronger every day. Wayne tailored the workouts to fit my pace and introduced fun challenges to keep things interesting. His nutritional advice turned my diet around--I've never felt this energized. We've shared many laughs and great conversations, making each session something I look forward to. Wayne isn't just my trainer; he's become a trusted friend. I highly recommend him for anyone who's looking for a great personal trainer!“
“I gave F45 a try and got totally hooked. All the coaches are outstanding. They have helped me so much to correct my form. I am getting a fantastic workout and enjoy the variety and camaraderie. I used to be a member of Equinox and had my own personal trainer but am seeing more results now with F45 than ever before.“
“I dragged my friend along with me to try their 60 min hot26 asana yoga class! We were rushing as class started at 7am and we wanted to ensure we'd make it before the doors locked. We got there just in time and were welcome by Regina! She gave us a quick rundown of the studio. They have nice lockers with keys, a water fountain and showers available. Class began promptly and it was comfortably full. Regina was a very lively and informative instructor. She gave helpful guidance on how to do the forms in class they were doing as they were slightly varied from what I am used to doing. The poses were comfortable and I could feel myself truly feeling zen through every pose.“
