Trainers near San Leandro

“I love the high intensity work out! I sweat so much and burn more calories in 30 minutes then when I was walking for an hour.“

“Ive been working out and getting trained with Teddy for about 2 months now and I definitely feel lighter. I may not see result as drastic as i imagined but I do feel better in my own body. I have more energy and i feel ready to tackle on the day after a good session. Teddy does his best to get you in at the time that fits best for you and will have long shifts yet still gives you the attention needed for your sessions! Teddy and Erica are super sweet and motivating. Teddy will push you hard because he know how much more you can give, he sees the potential in us even before we see it in ourselves. Erica is so sweet and motivational and helps balance out the environment in the gym! I definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of loosing weight or just trying to get fit! Helps with: -nutrition -good form - motivation“

“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.“

“I don't remember how we found Alison and Truve but I'm thrilled that we did. I'm 71 and my partner is 68 and we wanted a gym and a trainer who would work us hard but be knowledgeable and respectful of the challenges of keeping older bodies fit and strong. Alison listened carefully to our goals and concerns and set us up with Jenn. Working with Jenn is a delight - she knows her stuff and pushes me just enough. Every week she shows up with a different workout that keeps me on my toes - she's always fully present and responsive. As for the gym itself, once you've covered the basics like cleanliness and equipment quality (check and check), it's all about the vibe - are you comfortable being there or not. I've been a member of multiple gyms before and Truve is hands down the place I've most enjoyed going. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.“

“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“

“Rob Lin is an exceptional physical therapist. Rob and his entire team are patient and welcoming, and his 1-on-1 work is phenomenal. If you have the option, I cannot recommend The Technique enough. I knew when I signed up that working with him would be an investment, and it is one I am so glad I made.

I came in with an injury that I have been struggling with for 4 months. I had been seeing another PT but I had repeated setbacks during my recovery. I was in consistent pain and I wasn’t improving.

In 3 weeks or so, Rob has gotten me to a place where I can function again and even push my physical limits. He is kind, reassuring, and his hands-on work has consistently made an obvious impact. Immediately after getting off the table, I feel less pain and improved stability that last. His work on me has allowed me to push further during session and during at-home exercises, which he’s tailored based on my feedback.

TLDR: I’ve already recommended Rob and The Technique PT to friends struggling with injuries and would urge anyone to book a free in-person consultation. Rob is amazing and I look forward to every session. I can’t thank him and his team enough.

“Just one introductory session with these folks completely shifted how I think about strength training. I love that the foundation of this work is rooted in a philosophy that emphasizes slowness, deep presence and muscle fatigue instead of number of reps. Their resistance training is designed to meet you wherever you're at and consistently challenge you to find the next edge. These folks really care about their craft and their culture really motivated me to give it my best -- highly recommend working with them!“

“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 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.“

“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 worked with Abu for over a year and loved every minute of it. Abu is great for people of every fitness level, and taught me a lot about proper form and how to get the most out of my workouts. He will push you to get stronger, and even had some good tips on proper diet that I found to be helpful. I would highly recommend Abu to anyone, especially to those at the beginning of their fitness journeys.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“We have been members since 2019. While we lived in the east bay during that time we have since moved to the Santa Cruz Mountains in 2021. Here we are 2024 and our children are still members. The reputation of the Dragons Den speaks for itself and therefore making the 1 to 1 hr and 15 min drive twice a week each way is worth every moment they have the opportunity to train with the DD staff! The patience and lessons that come with the training are seen through the efforts of the dedicated members who have nothing but great things to say about this place. There's no wonder there is always a wait list. I highly recommend signing your kiddos up here if there are any openings. We sure are proud of the training we have seen with our children and how they continue to be dedicated.“

“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!!“

“Jordan is exceptional at what he does. While he approaches his own work-outs more seriously than anyone else I've seen, he's very kind and patient with his clients to meet them at their edges and helps to push them to their potentials -- he's also hilariously witty! Definitely book with Jordan if you want to have fun reaching your goals with someone who genuinely cares about your progress​​​“

“Super fun training for my kid. Much more gender neutral than other sports with a good age spread too. Positive coaching with a good mix of fun and serious skill building. A touch of the Francophile world as well“

“"I recently had the pleasure of taking part in a spring declutter & detox journey hosted by Gloria Kamil of Total Fitness Transformation. I must say, the experience was outstanding, the complete journey was outlined from beginning to end. This cleansing journey was the catalyst that allowed me to reconnect and develop a healthier relationship with the right foods and improve my overall health. Gloria's expertise and dedication to her clients alone with knowledge has helped me reach my desired goal. With exercise and making the right food choices I have lost a total of 22 lbs. in 2 1/2 months. Thanks Gloria“

“I am renting the space for my Capoeira school and it is really nice and really big with tall ceilings, a great sound system and a nice big heater. Also has a kitchen and bathroom. What more do you need!“

“Hey hey! Just to verify I am the girl in the photos in his site. No fake pics. Mike was my trainer for over a year in NY until he relocated to the west coast. Very sad day for me, but for his new clients in CA you won't regret hiring him as your trainer. As you can see in the first pic I had some lbs to lose after my second child and he helped me make it happen! I became stronger and had more muscle tone then when I was much younger pre kids! Mike is professional, fun and he created awesome workouts which were not limited to inside a gym. We took advantage of the outdoors as well, which I loved... even though outdoors meant burpees. Every workout different and hard AF. We trained 2-3 days a week for an hour and created workouts for me to do on my own on off days. Not only was I pushed physically but mentally as well to overcome things I didn't think I could accomplish. His positive attitude, encouragement and communication was amazing! He's a personal chef btw and assisted with diet and meal planning! That was key!!! I haven't been able to find a trainer in NY to replace him.“

“Matt Lucas is awesome! Great teacher and human being. The lessons are challenging and rewarding. Matt can modify the work outs based on your needs.“

“This man changed my life. I am not exaggerating.I started working out with him last year in 2021 and at the time I was skinny-fat, had no stamina, and was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Now my body definition has changed drastically for the better, I feel more energized on the regular, and I'm en route to diabetes remission! I no longer see the belly sticking out when I wear some of my shirts and I'm in perhaps the best physical condition ever.Also he knows exactly what type of workouts you need in order to reach your goals. If I had worked out by myself, I would've made little progress. With James, he knows very well how and when to exercise certain parts of the body for ideal results.I think what's the best thing about working out with James is that he's not only a mentor and trainer for me, but also someone who I would consider a friend. I fully recommend training with James if you have the chance. If you put in the effort, you will see results!!“

“Before I walked in to Chirofitness, my doctors recommended pain medication, followed by spinal injections, followed by surgery to control my back pain (I have lower back stenosis). Even though the pain was debilitating, I was not willing to tolerate the side effects of pain killers and risks involved with surgery until I put an earnest effort into the alternatives, namely chiropractic. The staff at Chirofitness thoroughly evaluated my condition and listened carefully to my description of the symptoms and history. They started me on a gentle routine of chiropractic adjustments and mild exercises and stretching, and provided a doctor's note that allowed me to get a standing desk at work. Within weeks the pain subsided and I began to get my life back. I learned techniques to maintain better posture and develop the core muscles to keep my spine aligned and protected. Not only did my back health improve, my spirits and self-confidence improved, as well! Within a few months I was able to ski again and within a year I rode my mountain bike across the Oregon Outback, a 380-mile unsupported ride through eastern Oregon. Not only did I feel strong and healthy the whole time, I began to feel more fit than I ever had before back pain. I've done that Oregon ride twice now and I've also incorporated the deadlift into my gym routine, something I never felt confident doing. But with careful training and coaching by Chirofitness, I've developed the strength and correct technique that I can do it safely. I'm lifting 175 lbs. now and improving! I'm so glad I consulted with Chirofitness before starting down the path of pain medications and surgery. Treating the cause before treating the symptoms made all the difference for me.“
