Since my first review over a year ago... I've continued to go to Pilates Forever Studio pretty…read moremuch every day (except when I'm traveling). It's not just the workouts, but the people and the feeling of community, that I truly enjoy. I love it so much, I signed up for their teacher training workshops in Feb-Apr earlier this year. I work full-time in the tech industry, but Pilates Forever Studio has become my 2nd home. Being a part of this studio for almost 2 yrs now has benefited me both physically and mentally, and I have gained long-lasting friendships with a lot of the people here. I've done the rotating gym memberships at 24-Hr Fitness, Bay Club, Orange Theory, etc throughout my whole life, but this is the first time I've stayed committed continuously to one place. I've lost over 45 lbs, and maintained my goal weight and I'm stronger than I've ever been with muscles I never knew I had! Check out Pilates Forever Studio... it was a life changer for me!

I took the 8am class with Grecia this morning and it was lovely! Parking was easy, check in was…read moreeasy, and class was great! I arrived and they asked if I had grippy socks and asked that I purchase them for safety reasons. They had plenty to choose from. The class size was very small (only 2 of us) so we got a ton of hands on attention and Grecia really made sure we were focused on the correct muscles for each exercise. The class was about 50 minutes long. I definitely would take a class from here again and would recommend to others!

Mark is a truly gifted personal trainer, and I can't thank him enough--not only for helping me…read morebecome stronger, but, more importantly, for the impact he has had on my overall fitness and health. When I first walked into Mark's gym six months ago, I was frustrated. Despite working out consistently three times a week for many years, I still suffered from frequent back and knee pain, and my lower-body strength, core stability, and balance were poor. From our first meeting, Mark listened carefully to my concerns and developed a customized training program around what my body actually needed. Instead of simply pushing me to lift heavier weights, he taught me to first build a strong foundation--core, glutes, hamstrings, quads, balance, and proper movement--before focusing on strength and power. That lesson will benefit me for the rest of my life. Six months later, my back pain is gone, I no longer need knee support when working out, and my lower-body strength and balance have improved tremendously. At the same time, I increased my dumbbell chest press from 45 lbs to 70 lbs and went from barely being able to hold myself on a pull-up bar to performing multiple unassisted underhand pull-ups. Most importantly, I achieved all of this without getting injured. Mark taught me that a great trainer isn't someone who simply pushes you harder or makes you lift heavier weights. A great trainer understands your body, identifies weaknesses, builds strength methodically, and knows when to push and when not to. I couldn't be happier with what Mark and I have accomplished together. His contribution to my fitness and physical well-being has been invaluable. I highly recommend Mark to anyone who wants to build lasting strength, improve their overall fitness, and reduce the risk of injury.

I've been working with Mark Bransky in Pleasanton since March 2025 and couldn't be happier. I just…read morerenewed my subscription because the results speak for themselves. Mark is excellent at explaining both the theory and practice, so you actually understand what you're doing and how to do it properly. The gym is very well equipped, always clean, and has everything you need for serious and focused training. Mark creates a relaxed but professional atmosphere, and he's easy to work with, always adjusting the sessions to fit where you are and what you need to work on. Since starting with him, I've seen solid gains in strength and technique, and I feel much more confident with every workout. If you want a personal trainer who's knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping you improve, Mark is the guy to see.

This update is for the online program that Lifelight Fitness has running right now: I initially…read morefound out about Lifelight Fitness three years ago on Facebook when I decided to participate in a body transformation challenge. I had such great success with the program that I wanted to return and continue to build on the initial success I had achieved. I wasn't sure how an online program would compare to the in-person experience I had the first time. I was worried that wouldn't get the same amount of individualized attention. However, my personal coaches, Tom and Nicole, quickly put my fears to rest. My first day I had an in-depth conversation with my new Coaches. I was given my initial individualized meal plans, access to the Facebook groups, and other amazing online tools I would be utilizing during the program. The personal guidance provided by Tom and Nicole really helped me through my struggles with accountability and motivation! The check-ins keep me motivated to keep going and Stay On Track. And the special Facebook groups gives me access to other Lifelighters going through the program for peer support. The online program has allowed me to workout and maintain my diet on my schedule and on my terms. This means that I have been able to fit in online workouts when I Never would have made it to the gym, making working out Easier! The meal plans have been incredibly easy to follow and very realistic and user-friendly. Hunger isn't a problem. Little by little I have begun replacing small bad habits with healthier, more productive habits. As time goes by it becomes easier to maintain these healthy and productive changes. With the help and guidance of my amazing coaches I have lost pounds, body fat, some bad habits and plenty of negative thought patterns. I've gained a more positive self image, a healthier life style and a stronger mind and body - all while having some fun being a part of the Lifelight Fitness Family. This isn't going to be some short-term success either. The Lifelight Fitness program has made my Lifestyle a healthier one. I will benefit from my healthier lifestyle long after the program is over. If you're thinking about doing this online program - Do It! You have nothing to lose except excess weight.

The massage chairs now allow you to scan your pass in order to start up for one ten minute session per day instead of you having to bother the front desk person to start it up. In addition, they now have a red light therapy room that runs in ten minute sessions as well. You better believe I'll be taking advantage of the massage and RLT post shift. Zumba classes still available when I decide to drop by again (you're too popular Alberto!) and no issues with the workout equipment. I also appreciate that they have a variety of channels playing so you can station yourself accordingly based on your preference.

Extremely Frustrating and Concerning Billing Practices…read more I had a very disappointing experience with Vim and Vigor Fitness in Pleasanton, CA, regarding their membership cancellation and billing practices. I cancelled my wife's membership and updated the payment account to a working account on the same day. Despite this, a few months later, we received a threatening email stating that her account was overdue and would be sent to collections if the balance was not resolved. When I went in person to address the issue, I discovered that her membership had apparently been reactivated without our knowledge because the account was considered overdue. This is particularly concerning given that I had already cancelled the membership and provided an updated, working payment method. To make matters worse, the employee I spoke with told me that he needed a manager to deactivate the account, but the manager would not be back for another week. How is a gym unable to resolve a basic membership and billing issue because a manager is unavailable for an entire week? The entire experience has been frustrating, unnecessarily stressful, and unacceptable. **Threatening customers with collections over disputed charges while seemingly reactivating a cancelled membership without notification raises serious concerns about the gym's billing and cancellation procedures.** I consider these practices predatory and will be submitting a complaint to the Better Business Bureau. I would strongly caution prospective members to carefully document all cancellation requests and keep records of their billing communications. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this gym to anyone who values transparent billing, reliable customer service, and straightforward membership cancellation procedures.

I had one goal - to finish in under 4 hours. Several times I came close but the goal eluded me time and time again. This year, I decided to do something different and signed up for weekly sessions with Francisco. First and foremost, he analyzed my gait and noticed that my right leg was much stronger than my left and that I was tight in several areas. As such, we worked on strengthening exercises and flexibility every single week. I was also injured, suffering from piriformis syndrome and shin splints, so he swapped 2 days of running on the weekly calendar for the elliptical machine. Francisco also ensured I did my long runs slow. If I'm being honest, I wondered how running less and running slow would ultimately help me run faster come race day but I trusted Francisco and his process. In late June 2019, I ran the Missoula marathon, had over a 5 minute PR, and came in at 3:57!!! 2) Family feel - the whole Fit Potato staff is warm, inviting, fun, and friendly. 3) Long term health - some places/people will push you too hard and you end up injured. Francisco and the Fit Potato team challenge you but they also know that you cannot achieve your goals if you're injured. If you are looking to achieve a goal or simply to improve your overall fitness in a healthy way, I would highly suggest you give Fit Potato a try!

I have also done 4 sessions with on One-on-One Personal Training with Coach Francisco so he could guide me and make suggestions so I can keep a routine going when I go back home. This has been priceless, I have never been able to maintain a fitness routine and get to the point where I enjoy it and miss not doing it. If you are in town for work or live in the area and you are seeking small personal classes with lots of teaching and accountable or seek more direction in the form of Personal Training I highly suggest you give The FIT Potato a try. I was very pleased with coaches dedication to teach and truly make fitness not just a workout but something personal and focus around long term results. I have a new outlook on fitness and look forward to every workout. Huge Mind shift change.
