Trainers in San Francisco

“Dropped in while I was travelling through San Fran. Incredibly welcoming team, a fantastic location and awesome gym full of everything you need to get a workout in. A real shame I wasn’t staying longer!! Well done guys 10/10“

“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 :).“

“My wife and I have been training weekly with Brandon Tran at Custom Fit in Hayes Valley for nearly two years. We initially sought out his expertise following an accident that required reconstructive surgery on my knee. I had such a great experience with Brett Lando at Custom fit that after physical therapy, we decided to pursue couples personal training at Custom Fit.

Prior to starting with Brandon, we were complete neophytes at the gym -- neither of us had stepped foot in one since high school. Our main goals were to generally increase our fitness levels and build strength as we enter middle age.

Brandon has been a fantastic partner and has supported us immensely in this journey. He has created tailored routines that have helped me continue to pursue my goals, even after my surgery, and helped us both significantly increase our strength and overall fitness. Neither my wife nor I ever thought we would be interested in going to the gym or hiring personal trainers, but we are extremely happy with Brandon and would recommend him to anybody.

We also appreciate the atmosphere at Custom Fit. The gym serves a large variety of clients, from serious powerlifters to older individuals who are maintaining their fitness and everybody in between, making it a comfortable and welcoming environment for all fitness levels.“

“All trainers are friendly and amazing, all while whooping your a$$ Great community environment and applicable for all levels of fitness.“

“It’s my first time having a trainer. And I can say coach Junior loves what he does. He really helps his clients to achieve their goal but also really understanding and cares about each individual’s unique needs. He’s always really straight forward and takes step by step to get closer to our goals. I always look forward to our sessions!!!“

“I've been training with James Coca at Custom Fit for the last two years. He is a dedicated, reliable, and thoughtful trainer. I really appreciate how he focuses on proper form, always checking to see that I'm doing the movement correctly rather than focusing on loading up the heaviest weight possible. His approach has really worked to build my confidence in trying new exercises and new routines.“

“I've been training with Alex for a few years now and working with him is one of the highlights of my day! He is just an awesome coach - very knowledgeable, personable, and positive. He is great at explaining complex movements, watching how you move and giving great feedback. I've been able to learn how to rope climb, do double-unders, string toes to bar, and achieve many personal weightlifting records thanks to his insightful cues. As an athlete I've grown so much as an athlete and I am so grateful for his guidance and expertise.“

“Took a transformational class with Eric today. Great blend of movement, mantras, and music. I left feeling relaxed -mind and body :)“

“Justin is amazing! Takes the time and energy to understand pain points and come up with real solutions! Couldn’t recommend enough!!“

“I have been going to Kauno for the past two weeks for my physical therapy. Lindsay Hendrickson and her team provides excellent care. The staff are all professionally trained and responsive to your concerns and needs. Overall, friendly, safe, and clean environment. I highly recommend this place.“

“I found Flagship when I was recovering from an injury and interested in giving CrossFit workouts a try, and the coaches here are amazing! Nikki, Anais, and Liz do a great job of introducing each exercise, and it feels like there's a good amount of personal attention even when the classes are larger. The coaches make sure you feel comfortable with the movements and have the proper form, and help adjust workouts for any injuries. The equipment is really nice and the gym is spacious, so I enjoy coming here to exercise. I like that the workouts are published in advance so I know what I'm getting into, and I also really appreciate that they have multiple membership options, all transparently priced on their website. Joining Flagship was an excellent decision, and I'm looking forward to continuing my fitness journey with them!“

“I first recommended to ASP from a teammates parent when my older daughter Nelly tore her ACL in high school. I was so pleased to to see the care and patience they had for her in her recovery and helped her back to return for her senior year. Excellent staff and a very knowledgeable team that developed a perfect program for her needs. It eventually lead her to major in Kinesiology in college and currently is wrapping up her masters. I was so pleased with their professionalism that we enrolled our youngest , currently in 8th grade, in a program for her strength and conditioning. They were able to detect a possible injury waiting to happen as my daughter tended to walk inward which could’ve lead to a knee injury. I’m glad to say they fixed the problem with a great program. She’s been there for almost 2 years and had comments from several coaches on how strong and fit she has become ( not so lucky for those who play against her lol). If you are looking for overall conditioning orRecovery, this is the place to be. It also prepared my daughter , not only for the physical part, but the mental. She built her strong mentality that ultimately got her accepted to her future high school SHC ! ASP is perfect for the mind and body!!Thank you Jack, Jared and Hannah at ASP!!!“

“Wow. That’s really all I can say. Visiting from Los Angeles, and San Francisco Barry’s Marina truly set the standard. Such an incredible workout. High energy, great coaching, and I definitely burned those calories. Overall, an amazing experience. Thank you so much for such a great workout“

“Fit springs are so much and effective! They are great for everybody! Jill is amazing, knowledgeable, and kind.“

“I've been training with Todd for over 2.5 years now. Todd has been able to help me overcome old sporting injuries to my shoulder, knee and help strengthen my core again to to support my back. I have dropped weight, put on muscle and feel stronger now than I have in years. Todd listened to my needs and the results speak for themselves. Highly recommend.“

“They have the most friendly and responsible staff. I accidentally left my ID at the front counter and I forgot about it. They called to tell me they held it for me and let me know when they'd be available. Thanks Brooke!“

“yoga flow SF is amazing! Our team at work did a private class there and it was fantastic. Beautiful studio, amazing instructor Brie!“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I can honestly say my experience at CrossFit Fog City was excellent. I was only in San Francisco for about a month and needed a gym, so I signed up for a temporary one-month membership and I couldn’t be more satisfied.

The gym is massive and has just about every piece of equipment you could ask for. The coaching staff was awesome great programming, fun classes, and a really positive atmosphere. Gordon, the owner, was extremely responsive and welcoming, which made the experience even better.

Whether you’re in town temporarily or looking for a long-term fitness home, I highly recommend checking out CrossFit Fog City. The space and community are amazing!“

“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.“

“Jeff is great! He came to our place a few weeks in a row to help me and my husband correct our workout form/posture. I love it that he uses different analogies or explanations to help me understand what the correct form should look like, and also helping me create a workout program that can help me build bone density. He has a great attitude, is always punctual and is also super responsive to all my email/text questions. Thank you, Jeff!“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Marty, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I came to him with two main goals: addressing some knee pain and improving my dance performance with a more well-rounded approach to strength and mobility.

From day one, Marty’s depth of knowledge and passion for movement stood out. He has a strong background in kettlebells, but he doesn’t limit himself there. He brings an interdisciplinary lens, always connecting the dots between strength, mobility, longevity, and real-world performance. He’s rigorous and detail-oriented, with an incredible eye for form. Instead of just running me through sets, he made sure I understood the “why” behind everything we were doing.

He very quickly identified the root cause of my knee pain, and gave me precise exercises to fix it. Within weeks, I felt a real difference.

Beyond rehab, he looked at my dance training and lifestyle, and challenged me to think about what my “missing link” was to not only take my physical base to the next level, but also set myself up for longevity. He’s savvy about how to personalize training to your unique situation - not just in movements but also how you incorporate training into your lifestyle.

Each session was essentially a mix of training and hands-on education. I didn’t just get stronger from working with Marty, he taught me how to think critically about my movement, my longevity, and my potential. He’s essentially a fountain of knowledge (he’s got a LOT of passion, and you can tell he does a vast amount of self-study because he loves it!), and his eye for detail and corrections are on a class of its own.

He’s tough and rigorous in all the ways you want a coach to be, and if you truly dedicate yourself to the work and to being the best student possible, results are sure to come.

Im grateful to Marty, and recommend to anyone thinking of working with him!“

“I've been going to Perfect Fit Training for over 5 years and can't imagine working out anywhere else. It's such a relief to train in a small, friendly space instead of fighting for equipment at the bigger gyms. Jasmine has been my trainer this whole time and she's amazing - she knows exactly when to push me harder and when to dial it back depending on what's going on in my body and life. I am excited to continue my fitness journey at Perfect Fit!“

“I rarely gush over a place in a Yelp review that doesnt serve Amazing Food or is a hotel in front a beach but here goes. I joined Alex Fitness in early March 2020, just before the pandemic and have loved it so much I stayed for 4 years now. (their Google/Yelp reviews are close to perfect for a reason) I enjoyed that AlexFitness is a family-owned gym, led by Olga and her team, offers a welcoming and supportive atmosphere that's hard to find elsewhere in the area. Not only is the pricing more affordable than SF Fitness or Live Fit nearby, but the quality of the equipment and the less crowded space make for a relaxed workout environment without some of the more distracting and more disruptive gym behavior that I experienced at a lot of packed Corporate gyms in the area. The machines are good quality and well-maintained, the place is very clean, providing everything needed for a solid workout. Although I haven't used the personal trainers myself, I've did observe them to be very professional with their clients. A big added bonus, the location is fantastic - right on Market in the Castro, making it super convenient. I cant reccomend Alex Fitness enough this is the spot.“
