Dan Farrier was my trainer in San Francisco since earlier this summer 2012 until he moved to the East Bay the last few months. I can't help but endorse him as my former trainer because Dan is The Man who will whip you into shape. I should know because when I moved to SF from Florida, I became a foodie and eating was going out of control. I had to do something about it and searched on line for a personal trainer, in which Body Mechanix received a lot of great reviews.
I trained with Dan at the Embarcadero location. Parking was almost always there except during Giants game days. The other trainers and staff were very kind and always said hello when I walked in. They have an excellent array of equipment and the necessary tools to lose weight, gain muscle, and excel in one's own fitness level to the next phase.
Dan always mixed things up with me with each of my sessions. There was never a dull moment and he always kept my heart rate pumping beyond levels I would never do on my own. He consistently kept my workouts fresh and he always tested me to my full potential when I didn't believe in myself. My constant cries in "I can't, I can't" would turn into "Yes, I can. Yes, I can." If you have any physical limitations, Dan can also work around it and still provide a balance of exercises and regimen that is most comfortable with you. He has vast knowledge in fitness and the body itself and can help you with fulfilling your goals in endurance and weight loss or whatever your goals entail. He can also help you with your nutritional goals as well.
All in all, Dan was great to work with and always kept a positive outlook. His high level of energy and enthusiasm translated into ensuring I kept with my goals. He will PUSH you to your limits, but again, only at a level you would be comfortable with. I mean, who wants a stale workout, right? My only negative here is that he moved to the East Bay, which is out of my range I would travel, otherwise, I'd continue my sessions with him to this day.
I highly recommend Dan Farrier as your next personal trainer. I lost weight, gained muscle and confidence that I never had before since this was my first time with a trainer. Every dime was worth it and I have no regrets whatsoever. I mean, damn, who has less than 8% body fat - I guess Dan does and he can help you get there! read more
