Trainers in San Francisco

“Amazing location for a drop-in class while in the city! Friendly staff & a good workout, definitely recommend!“

“I love Custom Fit and working out with Moe. She has helped me regain strength and stability after a TKR. She is very supportive but also encourages me to move out of my comfort zone when it's appropriate. She's designed at home workouts for me as well. The studio is modern, clean and inclusive. I see everyone from elite athletes to seniors working on balance. I'd highly recommend Custom Fit and Moe.“

“I joined Diakadi in the summer of 2021 and I have been working out with Dan Stahl ever since. Dan has done an amazing job of creating an exercise program that is tailored to my needs. The gym never feels crowded and the “open gym” hours are even less so. The equipment is well maintained and space is always clean. I have recommended Diakadi and Dan to everyone I know. Thank you to the owners, Billy and Mike, for creating such a positive and welcoming environment.“

“James Coca at CustomFit has been my trainer for the past year, and it's been life-changing! I'm a pretty sedentary person my nature, and combined with a busy work schedule and a young child, I haven't been able to really exercise consistently...ever? So I was pretty skeptical how much of a difference personal training could make (I've done it before elsewhere and just felt bad the whole time - too exhausted from tough workouts and judged by the trainer for being flabby)...but James is soooo different. He's got incredibly welcoming energy, and is so good at ramping up to a pace that feels achievable, yet also pushes your limits. I immediately saw results without feeling beat up at the end of a workout. James also always shares with me the science and physiology behind what we're doing. He's helped me understand and recognize what muscle groups are working for each exercise, and that has made me infinitely more aware of my own body. We started with weight training because it actually burns more fat than pure cardio. And it was incredible to pretty quickly be able to lift my school-age son like it was nothing! Whenever I felt like I was plateauing because it was so hard to make time for exercise, James would brainstorm with me different approaches of incorporating activity with my schedule. By creating micro-goals that felt achievable, I'm now someone who is working out in some capacity - swimming, running, dance classes, etc - several times a week (and actually look forward to it!). I can't recommend James and CustomFit enough - working with him there has transformed not just my body, but my whole attitude towards physicality!“

“After several months of one-on-one sessions with Justin -- his holistic approach to wellness and personalizing our time together make every session a highlight of my fitness journey.Firstly, Justin's attentiveness to crafting sessions tailored to my personal needs and interests. If I mention a new goal or a slight discomfort, he's quick to adjust our routine, ensuring that each exercise supports my journey to better health. This customization has been a game-changer for me, especially considering how it's helped me manage my foot and hip pain (due to a chronic condition). Under Justin's guidance, I've noticed a significant reduction in discomfort, an improvement that has been nothing short of life-changing.Justin's sense of humor makes each session fly by; I often find myself chuckling while in the midst of a challenging core exercise (more planks!)-- a welcome distraction indeed!To anyone considering Rebalanced SF with Justin: expect to work hard, laugh often, and come out feeling stronger both physically and mentally. Justin isn't just an instructor; he's an integral part of my support system now, and for that, I'm incredibly grateful.“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“Jack, Hannah, and Jared fixed my busted knee and ankle as well as made me love weight training and built up my strength. The team is amazing; they are superb at what they do. In fact, I've never met anyone as knowledgable as these three. 100% recommend if you have any injuries to get rid of or just want to level up your training.“

“I can't express how amazing my experience at this intimate private training gym has been. The setup is perfect - a small, personal area dedicated solely to you and your personal trainer, creating an environment that fosters focus and dedication. Anthony, my personal trainer, deserves a huge shoutout for his outstanding commitment and positive energy. His enthusiasm is contagious and makes every session a joy. Anthony goes above and beyond to push you to your limits, helping you discover strengths you didn't know you had. Despite the gym's size, it's equipped with everything you need for a strenuous workout. The attention to detail in providing the necessary equipment is impressive, ensuring that every exercise is effective and tailored to your fitness goals. If you're looking for a place that offers personalized attention, a positive atmosphere, and a trainer who genuinely cares about your progress, this gym is the perfect fit. I can't recommend it enough - my fitness journey has been transformed, thanks to this exceptional training experience!“

“Yoga class with Ayşe was a great stretch, and the facilities are really nice and clean“

“Super nice, helps a lot with form, very relaxed. He observed my exercises and corrected form -- gave me many corrections that the PTs were not giving me. He really helped me focus on getting proper form. Also convenient because he can visit you at home.“

“Have been going to this location for a few months now. Daniel onboarded me and is super-helpful.The gym is clean and very private.“

“Excellent facility with great staff. they are hooked into most insurance providers, which makes that easy. Easy to make appointments once you are a returning patient. They have their act together!“

“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.“

“Love this place. Clean, well spaced and great equipment. The owner, Humberto, is also awesome!“

“Can’t recommend Todd highly enough. He’s an excellent communicator, trainer and mentor. Total pleasure to work with. Gym is great and stocked with amenities. Five stars“

“yOMGa! I just took Joy’s morning Slow Flow class (conveniently after school drop off) and it was just what I needed! ?“

“I tried this method as a new post injury workout. Alicia was an excellent trainer. I will be back for more!“

“Francisco is an amazing trainer! I've been training with him for the past year and I have been very happy with the results. I feel much stronger and have developed a good exercise routine, thanks to his guidance! He has a private studio with amazing equipment which is great because you can work out without any distractions. I highly recommend him for personal training!“

“Brian is a well rounded and knowledgeable trainer. Before beginning by training sessions I had mentioned my injuries and Brian planned the training program keeping my injuries and goals in mind. I have been training for few months now and I have never had any injuries and happy with my progress.During our sessions, Brian is constantly offering clear and effective feedback for getting the most out of each exercise- a telltale sign that he's paying close attention. He makes small adjustments in posture and movements that are immediately felt, and I leave each session feeling like I got the most out of the hour.I would highly recommend Brian. I've had several trainers in the past and Brian is by far the BEST!!!!“

“I have been taking personal training and small group classes at Powerplaysf since July 2023 and I have had such a great experience. Shout out to Kwanua, Daniel, Fabi, Jen, and Pudji in particular! What is amazing to me is that they offer exceptional individualized and personalized service while at the same time offering a wide variety of classes and approaches to personal training so you can experiment and switch things up. For example, I have done one on one boxing, Pilates, and weight training and small group strength and conditioning, Trx, yoga, boxing, and Pilates classes. All of the personal training and small group classes have been excellent. I've also had to travel quite a bit for work and they have been very flexible letting me make up sessions and classes or even doing personal training remotely. A few highlights: I have been taking a one on one boxing class with Fabi for several months. She is an excellent instructor/trainer. As a former overweight, uncoordinated kid, who tended to shy away from any kind of exercise that seemed "too complicated" I'm amazed by my progress! I have also been taking a Trx small group class from Daniel for several months. He is also an excellent instructor. I was definitely a little intimidated by the class description and the word "athlete," but Daniel has done such a great job encouraging me to perform my best. It feels great at 36 to really do something out of my comfort zone. I would highly recommend powerplay!“

“The owner is amazing, positive and for healthy living. They're always nice when I come!“

“Fantastic gym, worth every cent. JJ has assembled a solid group of trainers, who are always looking out for you.Correcting form, encouraging you, and riding the fine line of getting more out of every workout without the risk of injury. Always coming up with creative exercises that are catered to your strengths and weaknesses and leaving egos at the door.I especially like the “small class” approach they take, as I don’t feel like I need 1-1 time for the entire time. Just enough to keep me accountable, push me for that last rep, and recalibrate every 8 weeks depending on progress.“

“I’ve been training with Andy for 4+ years, and I can’t say enough good things about him! From always being on-time, organized and extremely professional, to helping me meet my personal strength and fitness goals (never thought I would be able to say ‘I can deadlift and squat 125lbs!’), Andy is the best. He believes in perfect form and training you on the fundamentals to keep your body safe so you know how to train on your own. He is wise beyond his years, and can always make you laugh (even at a 6am session).“

“Marty is an incredible trainer. You will learn so much about the principles of physical fitness, strength training, and proper technique. Marty is excellent at identifying the weaknesses in your posture, form, and technique, and then creating a totally personal program to attack those deficiencies. His training goes beyond just teaching proper form with kettlebell exercises, he teaches you the fundamentals behind the techniques so that you can then apply those principles in your own training at home. He also very skilled at identifying faulty movement patterns and correcting them so that you can train safely and with confidence.The training also goes beyond just strength and kettlebell training. My cardiovascular endurance has greatly improved since starting to work with Marty. Marty also incorporates other tools into your program depending on your goals and where you would like to improve. I learned about mace training and I learning a ton about mobility and flexibility. He also provided a number of great ideas about diet and nutrition.Marty takes a holistic view of your strength and health and he cares deeply about his clients and their progress. You will not find a better trainer. Whether you’re just starting out or just looking to refine your technique Marty will absolutely be able to help you achieve your health goals.“
