I have been coming to FIT for 6 months now and the place is fantastic. The crossfit program director, Rick, studied concurrent training in graduate school and he knows how to optimize a workout routine for both strength and cardio gains. The owner, Thom, is very down-to-earth and friendly. A few weeks ago I accidentally broke a window at the gym; I insisted that Thom let me pay for the damage, but he wouldn't allow it. This team makes it their mission to provide customers with a comfortable, uplifting environment for physical fitness development, and that mission has been a great success. read more

FiT is the second personal training gym I have "belonged to" in the past 15 years, and I could not be happier. While Thom is my ongoing trainer, I've also worked with Laura and Jeff G when either I had to change my schedule or Thom was out of town. They have a great approach to making sure the training varies to work different parts of the body but also different types of activities (i.e., it's a lot broader than strength training). They also work in conscious attention to sleep, eating habits, heart rate variability, etc to sure that I get a workout that fits how I am feeling that day - sometimes pushing hard when I can handle it and scaling back when I can't without making me feel like I was dogging it. read more

FIT and CrossFit Los Altos are fantastic! I have been doing CrossFit here for over 2 years, and love it! I love the people and the coaches are top-notch. I've also done personal training with Rick Dyer, who knows how to get the best from everyone, but also realizes that everyone is different. I appreciate that, because I have a tendency to compare myself to others versus just competing against myself. The facility is great, and the locker rooms are clean and fully equipped, which makes getting ready for work pleasant. Highly recommend FIT and CrossFit Los Altos for your fitness needs. read more

I have been working out my entire life it seems but as I got older, the weight started adding on and then kids and then injuries and boom. It seemed like I was forever on a eliptical at various clubs. Hours and hours, miles and miles. I finally gave in and joined FIT. What a difference! The key is the incredible group of first rate trainers. In many places I find the "weekend trained" trainers that hae no right training. Or you find the "blackberry/iphone" trainers who spend more time on their little electronic devices then really working with you. But ith FIT they are writing everything down. They are tracking your goals. They encourage you and motivate you and are always up. They make it fun. And they respond to your down days and up days. Compare the credentials. Compare the years that trainers stay at the place. No turnover here. How about always seeing them working out themselves right next to you. They walk the walk. They care about the whole person. Food as well. Great insight and help is provided by all of them on what to eat and how. And injuries? Surgery? I have been through two surgeries so far and they know exactly how to pace you and work with you to ensure fantastic recovery. PT is also available conveniently as well. Just awesome. So I can't speak more highly of the place. read more

I can't say enough about FIT. If you are going to make the commitment of time and money to work with a trainer, this is the place to go. The trainers are extremely professional, passionate about their field, incredibly knowledgeable and clearly work to stay on top of all the new research. Over the last 4 years I have worked out regularly with half a dozen trainers. All of them have been excellent. They have nursed me through knee surgeries, neck injuries, back issues and 20 years of dietary ignorance to make me stronger than ever. Background: early 40's, loved to play soccer, ski, mnt bike and backpack. I drive 30 minutes each way to see them (yes, they are worth it). I have belonged to numerous gyms, including other high end personal training outfits. They are the best, hands down. read more

My doctor recommended FIT when I was cleared to start exercising after major back surgery. I found it very reassuring that Thom, the owner, spoke with my doctor and physical therapist before creating my exercise program. I was in rough shape when I started--my core strength was practically nonexistent. But after working with awesome FIT Trainer, Danielle, twice a week for 6 months, I felt strong again. I can't recommend FIT highly enough. They seriously changed my quality of life. I will be forever grateful. read more

This place is amazing! The owners' passion for their clients' health and fitness goals is evident in everything that happens here. Clearly the owners are highly selective in their hiring. They have the most qualified and well educated trainers of any gym to which I've ever been (and there have been many -- on both coasts and in the South). I've also been impressed by the breadth of clients. I've seen teenagers, seniors, highly competitive athletes and the mom crowd (and several tech big shots.) It is a welcoming place with highly individualized programs. And, if you have health challenges or injuries (my husband and I have had both) you'll be in excellent hands here. read more

I came to fit with some shoulder & back issues trying to strengthen my core muscles. I'm not a weight lifter, nor am I looking to be bulky, I just wanted to get better & retain my form. I found Traver to be very fun, knowledgeable, extremely experienced & thoughtful. Thumbs up Fit team. read more

I worked with coach Rob E. during my summer before college. He is a really great guy and an awesome coach, especially for strength and olympic lifting. Despite ridiculing my lack of core strength (in a friendly joking way) he is very motivating and knowledgeable. The facilities are immaculate and everyone is really nice. It is a little pricey but, it's in Los Altos so that comes with the territory. Now that I live in LA I am still working on that core strength but a really enjoyed my time at FIT, and hope to visit....maybe when my core strength is better lol read more

The Los Altos CrossFit Program is exceptional! Jimmy does an excellent job facilitiating the program and all of the trainers are fantastic. The class times are great, really offer a wide variety throughout the day. Class sizes normally allow for a lot of interaction between the trainer and participant. Trainers do a incredible job of motivating you to improve and meet your fitness goals. CrossFit Los Altos is addictive! read more

I discovered FIT 8+ years ago, and haven't looked back! Trainers, including mine, Jeff Samson, are amazingly knowledgeable and committed to their both clients and craft. I've learned an amazing amount, seen great results, and discovered that yes, in fact, even I can learn to lift heavy things and be taught to touch my toes. :) read more

Been training here for 2 months now, I love that it's only personal training (Crossfit moved in to their own building) so it's never super crowded like some gyms can be. My trainer Maggie is awesome and my wife's trainers Kate and Laura are equally great, totally worth spending the money to better yourself. read more

I have been attending the Cross Fit evening workouts for the past 2 years. Rick Dyer and his team of accomplished trainers are knowledgeable, patient, coaxing and demanding. Highly recommend not only for Cross Fit but for individual personal training as well. Generously nice, honest and professional trainers. read more

Been doing Crossfit here for over three years. I don't even live close by but make the trek because it's worth it. Great, friendly staff. Expert coaching. Clean and well-equipped. What else can you ask for. They're about to extend their CF space you so I can't wait! read more

Fit Los Altos is the best gym I've ever joined. The trainers are all extremely knowledgeable, fun (!) and customize workouts based on your individual level. I was intimidated to try CrossFit and they made it easy...now I feel better about my overall fitness than ever before, and love the friendly, laid back environment. read more

When it comes to workouts, F.I.T. is the best. Whether it's one on one training, or CrossFit, or Barbell Club, this well designed facility and excellent trainers and staff will help all of us look better, be stronger, and be fitter than we ever were before. All the trainers are well trained themselves, and they help, as they say, in the "training the athlete in Everyone." read more

This is the best gym I have ever been to! The trainers are all top-notch! The approach is scientific, the facilities are state-of-the-art and I learn something from every training session. I am feeling better than ever and I've only had 3 sessions. I can't wait to try the massage and infrared sauna options too! read more

I came here for two sessions to get some extra physical training tips. The staff is friendly and it's an open and motivating workout atmosphere. In particular, my trainer, Jeff Samson, was very focused on designing a good session for me and tailoring a workout towards my goals. Their rate is a quite pricey -- $90 for an hour -- but I felt I got a lot out of just two hours with Jeff. Definitely coming back! read more

Wonderful staff, great facility. I primarily work with Nate. His workouts are tough but I feel accomplished afterward and I know I'm making progress every time I go. My husband recently started CrossFit - he loves it. The CrossFit trainers are attentive and make sure the workouts are accommodating but always challenging. My daughter is a club soccer player with aspiration for collegiate play and has just recently started working with Nate - so far so good! He develops her workouts with her soccer practices/game schedule in mind. We love the variety in the workouts and all of the extra services they provide - nutrition, massage,... Perfect set up for our family - definitely exceeded our expectations! read more

I have been to many places, and this one has really been the best for me in terms of the quality of training.

Superb training and professional, friendly and non-intimidating environment!!!

Love FIT! I came to this facility to have physical therapy on my back with Tony. He really helped get me the exercises/routine I needed to relieve the pain and get on the road to healing. I then started working out once a week (I am 71 years old) with Maggie who is a doll! She took into account my physical limitations but still developed a program I could live with and feel good about. Everyone is friendly so you don't have to feel intimidated by the super fit folks doing the hard stuff! The pricing is a bit odd since you have to sign up for so many weeks, then make up sessions if you are traveling etc. I found that undoable because I do travel so had to pay the highest price for individual sessions. But it was worth it! read more

I stand by my previous review of two years ago. FIT is constantly upgrading its facilities and keeping up with the health and fitness world. I work with Josh who is highly motivating and fun, and very sensitive about any aches and pains I may have. He pushes me but knows not to push beyond reasonable limits. He is kind and fair, and always attentive and present. I have worked with two trainers at FIT and both were excellent. FIT is a pleasant place to spend time, whether in a session or just working out on the equipment. I feel very welcome there. As an older woman I have never felt any discrimination or bias, always encouragement and inclusion. It's a great gym! read more

These guys hit it out of the park on every pitch! Thom and Tracey know what they are talking about and really listened to me for about two hours and then emailed me a plan to help with five facets of wellness to focus on- surprisingly working out like a maniac did not even make the list. Everything they told me was based on evidence, no quackery her, and they gave me better advice in ten minutes than my MD has in the last ten years. A very high quality place, super clean, very convenient, quiet and not ever crowded read more

The team of people who work here and the folks who attend classes feel more like a group of friends and family than a gym. People are friendly, knowledgable and genuinely interested in each other's lives, their health, families, etc. Just this week, one of the instructors had a birthday, and the entire place erupted into song wishing her "Happy Birthday!" It was sweet and fun, not cheesy. Rick led my CrossFIT on boarding, and I felt like I was in great hands. 4+ months later, I still do, as I continue to learn new things every time I go to a workout. He is fantastic. Instruction is clear, expectations are fair, and the instructors work directly with you to modulate and calibrate according to your abilities. Men and women of all ages and abilities work out side by side, and it's genuinely a fun time, even as we get beaten up by the often-brutal workouts. :-) read more

I honestly love FIT! I started coming to the LOLA Bootcamp almost 2 yrs ago. It's been amazing! Great group of women and Jimmy, our amazing trainer, can handle all our personalities. Jimmy, individual gives us the workouts we need as a group, yet knows how to individually push us to our greater potential. What else could you ask for? read more

I have been going to FIT since it first opened and hope to go for many more years. The trainers are very knowledgeable, respectful, helpful and friendly, and so is the rest of the staff from the moment you enter. Shaun Conner is my trainer and I could not ask for a better one. He knows and understands my strengths as well as my limits, and has enhanced my capacity in every area. The equipment, exercise, and locker rooms are always clean and in utmost working order. I trust them without reservation and give FIT my highest recommendation. read more

The folks at FIT care so much about your transformation. The owners/staff are so caring and know how to build great relationships. They really understand body mechanics, nutrition and can help find new levels of performance that may not have seemed possible. If you are looking for a thoughtful workout and a holistic approach for your body and wellbeing....this is the place for you! read more

LOLA is the best and addicting, I hate when I have to miss. Great balance of strength and cardio. The class has made my body stronger and clears my mind for the day ahead. Thanks to Jimmy and the team at FIT for providing such great service. read more

I have been going to FIT attending crossfit classes for about a year. Top notch crew. Good workout environment. Would recommend attending a class. read more

I've been working with Shaun for over 10 years and he has been excellent. Very professional and knowledgeable. He also is very flexible in dealing with my normal aches and pains. read more

The CrossFIT team has dramatically improved my health and wellness. I have been a regular for 15 months. I have never lasted more than 2 - 3 months on any other gym, class, or workout program. Their philosophy and approach are grounded in science ... it's about nutrition, sleep, stress, and then exercise. Thom is super helpful and approachable and genuinely cares about his clients. I have worked with 3-4 personal trainers and they are all excellent ... they prepare, they know you, the push you while the encourage you. It's a great environment and I couldn't recommend it more to someone who is looking to get healthier. read more

The staff at FIT are dedicated, earnest, and genuinely nice people, well educated in fitness as well as other related fields. It was a pleasure being trained there. read more

I agree with the other reviewers on two counts: a) it is very pricey (but worth it) and b) the front desk/sign-up/administrative side of things could be a little bit more streamlined. But the staff are friendly, responsive and accommodating, and once you're scheduled for your first session it is between you and your trainer. More importantly on the positive side this is a Class AAA++ outfit for 1:1 personal training sessions and every person working there will bend over backwards to accommodate your every need. I have been there for 6+ months now and have increased my attendance from 2 times per week to (time and weather permitting) 4 times per week. I even got my wife to go multiple times per week, and she hates exercise with a vengeance. We both have different trainers that we're very fond off and we love showing off our new muscles, or the fact we're fitting back into our old clothes from years ago. It is showing off to the point that our friends start asking if they should go themselves! This facility very carefully selects its staff, and they're really assessing each individual for their goals, physical capabilities and readiness level. I am/was out-of-shape and recovering from injuries and surgery and each time I go in there I come out feeling just about exhausted (in a good way), feeling stronger and fitter and never had any bad consequences or pains due to ill-advised exercises. The facility itself is in an old bank building and very quaint in a good way. It is not your standard run-of-the-mill white+stainless steel mass gym, but has warm tones, "original elements", wood, and of course every possible useful piece of exercise equipment. What I really like it that they also use a lot of traditional "old-fashioned" equipment and exercises. It is amazing how many different exercises you can make you do with a ball, a rope or a rubber band. There's is also the classic weightlifting that gets weaved into the routines. A lot of variation, and a gradual continuous buildup as you get stronger and more flexible. All-in-all, I am hooked, and I will continue to go for as long as I can afford it. I can recommend this place to everyone, all ages and all fitness levels. read more

If you are intested in improving your overall fitness, FIT-Los Altos is the place. I have been going to FIT for about a year now. The personal trainers are what make FIT special. The trainers are knowledgeable, motivating and even funny. They listen to your goals and design a work out program to help you achieve those goals. I have trained with Jimmy, Nate & Dion. But really, all the trainers there are great. I strongly recommend FIT-Los Altos if you are interested in getting fit. read more

I spent this past summer in the bay area studying for the bar exam and therefore getting up off my butt for very precious few hours a day. I went to FIT 3 mornings a week for about 3 months, and about two months in I got out of the shower one day and realized I had never, ever looked better, or, more importantly, felt better about my body, in my life. Not when I was an aerobics teacher at 18, not when I was a skinny college girl who lived on popcorn & wine, not ever. I had muscles- sweet, sexy, toned little muscles that looked amazing (and actually worked!) I live in LA now and despite my best efforts have not managed to maintain the same level of goddess-hood. Why? Because my most amazing body ever was a joint effort between me and FIT trainers. Due to a weird schedule on my part I've worked out with 4 of the trainers there and each one is amazing. They are all careful about injuries while also not letting you count self-doubt as an injury. For years I thought that having a personal trainer was something you did if you weren't motivated enough to get your own butt to the gym or didn't know how to work out effectively. I have a lot of fitness training and I know my way around a gym but despite my best efforts I fall into ruts and end up using gym time just to blow off a little steam- using my muscles but not really challenging them, & definitely not in new ways every time. FIT was such a more affirmative, efficient, effective place to actually change my body. After 2 months I could do 4 pull ups (at the beginning of the summer I would have laughed if you'd told me I would be able to do one). And I've worked with trainers before, but I've never experienced such a total body makeover as I did at FIT. read more

I spent 2 years living in the Bay Area and tried out many gyms. This was the only facility I found where personal training was actually personal and not cookie cutter. Most people only work with one trainer but with my crazy schedule I had to work with a few different trainers and every single one of them was amazing. ONe of my favorite parts of their program is their focus on nutrition and how important nutrition is. They are extremely focused on helping you achieve whatever results are. There were some pretty stellar athletes who trained there. Serious marathon runners. Marathons are not my cup of tea but it was great to see such a variety of clients. Oh and if you need realignment and healing go see Angelo! I've never experienced anything like it. The best part about this facility is its family owned and it has a nice family feel to it. They offer kids classes and even a special needs class. The work there do there is unlike anything I've seen! read more

Nice gym. I haven't done any of their classes, but the weight room is well equipped and they have on-site staff physio's and massage staff, as well as personal trainers. read more

My son attends FIT Buddies at this location. It has been really great - not only does he receive great exercise, but he is also a part of a nice group of teens. He enjoys the camaraderie of the group and looks forward to the classes every week. read more

Thom, the FIT owner, helped my 18 year old son refine his weight-training plan in the most genuinely helpful, honest, knowledgeable way a concerned mom could want. He spoke with great competence and expertise, yet in a friendly, caring, accessible way that my son could appreciate and "hear". Both of us were totally impressed, grateful and motivated. Thank you, FIT and Thom! read more
