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.“

“Teddy is a great trainer full of motivation and enthusiasm. He is very flexible with my schedule. Everyone is very welcoming and creates an awesome atmosphere. Teddy has helped me a lot to get back on track and start looking out for my health. After being consistent in my workout my anxiety has went away completely. I totally recommend Teddy as a trainer to help you with your fitness life and maintaining a healthier lifestyle.“

“I have been to many gyms in my life and have had 3 other personal trainers, and 9Round with Dave and Ovi is hands-down the best I have ever been to! I usually have a hard time motivating myself to go to the gym but I look forward to my 9Round workouts every week. When you enter, everyone greets you warmly. While you work out, trainers and other gym-goers cheer you on and motivate you. When you leave, you're congratulated on a great workout and walk out of the door with a smile on your face. It truly is a wonderful experience from start to finish. Be ready to work, though! 9Round provides a high intensity, full body workout. They also offer body mapping and consultation, which has helped me orient my workout and weight loss goals. Dave also provides me with tons of nutrition tips and challenges that have made a huge difference for me! I truly cannot say enough good things about this gym, so sign up already!“

“I have been struggling with getting my fitness journey for quite some time until I started working out at TNT. Eric really helped break down for me on what was necessary to meet my goal. He made it so easy to understand which workouts were needed and what my form should be, especially since that was something I always had difficulty with. He was able to make going to gym fun for me and I look forward to our sessions every week. I have never seen so much progress in such a short amount of time and I can’t wait to continue my fitness journey with TNT.“

“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 did six sessions with Dr Alice for a very mysterious and very painful sciatica-like syndrome in my leg. Alice was fantastic to work with and helped me a ton. She went at the problem very patiently and systematically,from several angles, and when we were finished the pain was about 90% gone - which was *huge*; I'd begun to feel downright cursed with pain - and I was now equipped with a whole battery of exercises and stretches to help me keep it away. So far they've worked great.“

“I have always hated going to the gym and working out but I love this place. Working out doesn't feel like a chore when you have Annie as a trainer. She is not only knowledgeable about movement, weights, and your body but she can work with your limitations (I started with a back injury). I also highly recommend her for the great conversation and recommendations for yummy food.If you're thinking of trying this place, do it! They have a 3 session package that is a great deal and then you will be hooked too.“

“Gracie Jiu-Jitsu in Alameda has been a fantastic experience for my daughter, blending martial arts training with essential life skills like self-discipline and respect. The instructors are dedicated and passionate, fostering an environment that encourages growth and confidence. It's more than just learning techniques; it's about developing character and resilience. I appreciate the positive influence this academy has had on my daughter, making it a valuable part of our community. A solid five stars for their commitment to not only teaching martial arts but also shaping young individuals.“

“Anthony provides a friendly, non judgmental atmosphere to work out in and reach your personal fitness goals. He tailors the workout to your goals whatever they may be - weight loss, general fitness, gaining muscle, etc. Clientele includes a wide variety of ages and training experience from beginner to intermediate. Workouts are done in small batches of 3 people during each time slot - so no waiting for machines, and you get personalized attention from Anthony. Workouts are circuit style, and Anthony can also tailor them on the fly depending on your current needs. The session lasts between 30-45 mins. You feel accountable to Anthony and the peer group you train with, and everyone pushes and encourages everyone else to train hard. You will leave exhausted but happy. If you're having trouble committing to a regular gym schedule, this environment is very conducive to developing a good gym habit. The health, fitness and confidence you gain from this affects every aspect of your life, so the cost seems insignificant for the benefits you reap. Anthony offers a free workout session where you can try out 1 day, and it's a nice way to test if you like it. I can't recommend Anthony highly enough - this will change your life.“

“TLDR: Fun classes, friendly community, zero ego environment, 5/5... go for it!As a runner for many years, pounding the pavement finally caught up with my joints and I needed to make a change to my routine. I dreaded signing up for a regular gym because it's just never been for me and always been a waste of money.I was really excited to discover F45 in my area as I simply don't have the time to design a wholistic workout routine, nor the motivation to stick to it on my own in a gym. If you can do that... bravo, but it ain't for me. Really all the thinking is taken out of it at F45, so your job is to just show up, do the work while listening to some loud music, fist bumps, and you're off to whatever else you got going.If you're on the fence.. seriously give it a shot. There's a 2 week trial for a reasonable price, nothing to lose“

“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.“

“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!“

“Jordan is an excellent personal trainer. Not only does he practice what he preaches, he's very encouraging and informative to make the most out of our session. I left our workout together feeling exhausted and pumped. He's a great person to have on your side to help you reach your goals!“

“I never thought personal training was my kind of thing, then the pandemic hit. In 2021 I wanted to start doing oly lifts somewhere outside my living room, but with way more attention to technique than a large group setting. The search was daunting until I recognized Max! I knew Max long, long, ago from a gym far, far away (not really, it was in Oakland) We discussed my goals and he set me up with trainers for 30 minutes twice a week.Two years later, I can say with confidence that the whole crew is top notch. Every time I've had a session with a new-to-me trainer, I've come away with more knowledge and perspective on movements I was already pretty comfortable with. A lot can happen in 30 minutes!Max: the boss! First and foremost technique focused. I was apprehensive about barbell movements and he patiently adjusted the cues for me until it made sense. Also introduced me to squats and bench press. All the foundations, all the discipline.Dave: an absolute legend. Solid focus on full body strength and doing just enough for gains while ensuring I avoid injury. Loves deadlifts possibly more than I do.Mikkie: also loves deadlifts possibly more than I do, but gave me to different, yet complimentary, technique cues than the other trainers. She also made me a true believer for resistance band work to increase overall strength and mobility.Diante: I await the day I can train with him. Every week, I'm envying his incredibly creative work with his clients. Until then, he's my biggest booster and an invaluable source of nutrition information.And my current besties:Alysia: she's known me for years, so she knows precisely when I'm BSing and when to push me. Her steady guidance has seen me through PRs and also with resilience through injuries. She also has excellent taste in 90s music, shoulder bags, and ice cream.John: when he's not giving me absurd names for exercises I swear are made up, he's throwing a complex at me composed of movements I'll never remember. By the 17th time, I'll finally get it, and realize: John was right, all while making sure I did everything right. He's full of surprises, all of which make you stronger.Love y'all, Powerform. Thank you for letting me play with all your iron while making sure I don't hurt myself.“

“It's an Honor for both of my children to be training at Dragons Den MMA. It truly helps , keeps my kids focused, and motivated to protect themselves. It's fun and my kids love it! It's nice to see how the instructors are so passionate and involved with all the children. Not just at the Den, but to their School and Education. Investing themselves so much about Kajukenbo. The teachings to their students making sure they work hard. To learn every move and form of Martial Arts.. It feels like we're part of an awesome family supporting community of people. I Highly recommend Dragons Den MMA to everyone in Union City, Ca. OHANA!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Abu is amazing!! I did personal training at Next Level for a little over two years and in that time I saw a complete body transformation. I gained over 10 lbs of muscle and the confidence to be able to workout on my own safely. Abu is great at accommodating all fitness levels, and adjusting to your level as you progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their fitness journey in the Oakland area!“

“Jonathan is Great! He's attuned and responsive with great energy and a WEALTH of knowledge about the nervous system and the body. I highly recommend him if you're healing from an injury or wanting to increase strength, fitness level and confidence in your understanding of your own unique body mechanics. He's observant, patient, supportive and kind.“

“I’ve been taking a class with Michael for almost a year. We focus on balance, strength building and coordination. Skills that I use throughout my daily life. Michael has a vast knowledge base, extensive experience and a keen ability to make modifications. His easy going and non-judgmental approach make our class enjoyable. I highly recommend him for 1:1 and group classes.“

“I never thought I'd want to do strength training, but the team at Live Oak Strength motivate me to focus and work hard. At the same time, they make me--a 51-ry-old introverted gay man with body image issues who doesn't gravitate toward exercise--feel comfortable. They are welcoming, clear communicators who already make me feel like I belong there. And who knew that my reaction at the end of high intensity exercise would be laughter? Every set is a good pain. Every set is a great joy. Benefit from the place Owen and his team create. Join now.“

“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 love Truve. It is a great gym with welcoming staff, wonderful trainers and state of the art equipment. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a gym.“

“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!“

“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.“
