She is extremely knowledgeable about about exercise, diet, and women's health. I learned so much from her! She helped correct my form and knew which movements would yield better results for my body and goals. Everything felt customized and we often flexed our workouts based on what was going on that month if I was traveling for work or having health issues. We experimented with diet too and overall I saw strong progress in my health goals and overall strength like never before. I enjoyed our conversations and loved having a coach like her by my side. I highly recommend her and hope to be working with her again soon!

Working with a trainer who can adapt workouts to my needs and keep me motivated is key to making progress and staying on track with my fitness journey.

I'm so grateful that I've found a wonderful trainer like Maricela who provides such a positive and effective fitness experience.

Jeannine is AMAZING. I began going to Jeannine a few ago and was a total mess. I have bad knees,…read moreand had been in a few car accidents that had messed up my neck and spine and was seeing a chiropractor who was not doing much for me. After seeing Jeannine for one year, my entire body changed; my muscles were toned, I no longer had problems with my knees, back or neck, and I said goodbye to my chiropractor forever! I would not hesitate to recommend Jeannine to anyone - she is extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with the body, has a great up-beat personality and is a wonderful personal trainer.

Jeannine is a wonderful personal trainer. I worked out with her for about 5 months, and she really…read moreimpressed me with her patience, energy level, and commitment to her clients. She is not a "drill instructor" type, more of a fitness motivator and mentor. She has a full gym in her home, and training is one-on-one. I was a person who had really never worked out much before, and I was so intimidated by the equipment, and worried that I would not be able to keep up with the workout routine. Jeannine guided me through the process, always challenging me but not making me feel that she was asking me to do anything that I wasn't capable of. I was amazed at how quickly I felt myself gaining strength and feeling more fit. I always left Jeannine's feeling thoroughly spent but energized, and amazed at how much I had done in one hour. I would recommend Jeannine to anyone who wants to gain strength, get in shape, and who might be intimidated and confused by working out on their own in a gym.

I was able to train with Julian. I highly recommend Julian as a personal trainer. He's professional and supportive with your time and goals. He was able to work with my availability and kept me accountable for my goals. As a trainer, he would cheer me on for just pushing myself a little more each time. I was able to gained more strength and have a healthier mindset after training a few months with him.

Since starting to train with Julian I've steadily gained muscle, moved further toward my goals, and pain isn't an issue. I appreciate that Julian takes the routine out of warm-up and workout, making a concerted effort to mix things up each time we meet. Important to me in finding a Trainer was someone who would pass the 'airport test'. I spend at least 3 hours a week with Julian - he's a smart and fun guy, passionate about what he does, thoughtful in his approach, and genuinely interested and invested in his clients. As a small business owner, Julian operates with high integrity. I highly-recommend Pushnweights to help you meet your health and fitness goals.

The energy itself is unmatched and the equipment is high quality. I LOVE how there are multiples ways to do hip thrusts with padded support.

It quickly became part of his routine and he convinced me to join in January 2025. This gym has every different machine you could want, it's clean and you can go workout whenever it fits your schedule. Like literally... it's open from 4am to midnight and you get a code to the door! As busy parents of toddlers, we are not in a season where we can commit to signing up for a class ahead of time like some other gyms require because life happens. We have also both done the big name brand gyms that are overcrowded and overstimulating.. where you have 20 different TVs to watch as you wait for a machine to use... this is NOT one of those gyms and that makes Chain Reaction perfect for us. Personal training is available if you want/ need it, but not forced on you which we appreciate! Pam and Chain Reaction fitness are the perfect addition to San Bruno because she values community! We've walked by this place a bunch over the last 5 years that we've lived in the neighborhood but within the last few months there is new ownership and energy and it's definitely worth checking out! We're excited to be part of the Chain Reaction community and encourage anyone thinking about joining to set up a time with Pam to chat. She is friendly, kind, knowledgeable and genuinely looking to build a community of people supporting each other from fitness journeys to beyond!

For me I find using the various Pilates equipment, in a small group setting, to be the most efficient and enjoyable workout. For years I would travel to SF to go to a studio I loved! Once I had my daughter I stopped the regular workouts and it became very difficult to get to my old studio. I really wanted to get back to weekly sessions so I started the search! I looked all over the coast, and even the Peninsula, for an exceptional pilates studio. I finally discovered Lele at Half Moon Bay Pilates. I absolutely LOVE my sessions with her. I participate in weekly, small group private workouts (usually 4-6 people). It is the value of a lifetime... having her expertise guiding your every move. She focuses on each persons strengths and limitations which is invaluable. The studio has exceptional quality equipment as well as a variety of other props that are used. The space very clean and setup for a nice, relaxed feel. We are always switching up the workouts and trying new things. Lele keeps it fun, information and enjoyable. I love Half Moon Bay Pilates and Lele!!!
