Shortly…read moreafter I saw how his passion turned into a dream of helping others achieve their own fitness goals. Within a matter of weeks he was certified and was taking on new clients. What surprised me the most about his skill was that he didn't just tell u what to do he explained it. He had: -Great technical skills, demonstration and explanation -Anatomical and in depth understanding of how each exercise affects the body. During our training together we did both full body and isolated training. That compared with his nutritional advice, I saw sudden results to my shape and form. I couldn't have been happier.

Evan and Monkey Moto School provide incredibly high quality, detail oriented and personalized…read moretraining for your riding no matter what stage you are at. I am an early stage rider with my M1, my own bike, and about a month of experience riding around the city but I lacked the confidence to feel really in control of my bike. Evan reshaped by fundamentals and taught me in much more detail about my throttle and brakes than what I learned at my CMSP course. Also being able to ride as a passenger while he demonstrated the drills was incredibly eye opening. Being able to feel the smoothness and minute control that an experienced rider has really helped me learn what I could aim for myself. To top it off, literally the SAME afternoon I finished my lesson I had a driver pull put in front of me from their parking spot while I was making a turn, and with the skills that Evan taught me I was able to avoid collision and ride away safely. Most importantly, I handled the situation calmly and smoothly because of the outward focus that my Monkey Moto lesson taught me. I can't recommend Monkey Moto School enough, don't hesitate to book a lesson no matter your skill level!

After trying to contact several places in the San Francisco vicinity, this was the only conversation that went smoothly. The gentleman I spoke with was super accommodating and incredibly patient. He spent a good 15 minutes on the call with me, thoroughly explaining their different programs, what the standard course entails, and how their program can be uniquely useful. He gave me many useful tips, all before I had even set foot in the place. Bear in mind, I was calling on behalf of a friend, and I say this as someone with over a decade of powerful motorcycle experience myself - felt that giving my friend into save hand. I can't (yet) speak to the actual quality of the on-bike education, but at least the theoretical part and the customer service were absolutely great.

We have done their tour of Oakland twice now...just too much fun to do once. It includes a quick…read morelesson for those who have never used a Segway before. Then the tour is on! One time we zoomed around Laney College campus, the other time through Chinatown. Then both times we visited the Jack London Square area, and continue through downtown and around Lake Merritt. Their teachers were great and very enthusiastic. Just go, try it! Segway-ing is really fun, and this tour will make you want to get one of your own (sadly I need the price to come down A LOT to do that). An earlier review complained about the facilities...uhhhm, OK, but that's missing the point, right? Why would you care whether the back office is luxurious or in a high rent district? It should be all about the quality of the Segways (which were excellent both times we tried them), the spots you see (zipping around in Oakland's urban, downtown setting was really fun), and the tour guides (super fun individuals). Cmon, dude, pull the stick out!

Being resident of O-town for over 40 years I never thought I'd see the day I'd be cruising the city…read morelike Rosie from the Jetsons. It was certainly a cool way to cruise. The initial learning curve was steep for about a 60 seconds, but after that is it second nature for anyone that has ridden a bike or skied. The technology is cool, the machine will actually do all the hard work of balancing, all you have to do is relax and enjoy the ride. I got the offroad model which is like an SUV, FAT and CUSHY, a little tougher in tight spots but more forgiving in my opinion. I scored a groupon type deal so it was about half off, way fun for two hours and less than $30, look for the deal.

I reached out to him via Email and the first biggest impression for me was how quickly he responded and answered all of my questions! Coach Calvin sent me all of the information I requested and also sent me his website which pertained all of the information on there as well. After carefully looking through the website, I decided to book a 1 on 1 session for our 13 year old son which was very affordable! My boy currently plays multiple sports but I believe he needs guidance to gain better posture/form and build speed and strength. During the first session, Coach Calvin didn't waste any time he immediately jumped right into training, he was very observative, identified his weak points, gave critical feedback and corrective actions! All of these are exactly what we've been looking for in a trainer and to top it off, the biggest plus in his coaching style that impressed us was the fact that Calvin was able to demonstrate and even performed the drill WITH my son! I'm glad we found Coach Calvin and are looking forward to seeing improvements in our sons performance!

As a loyal Gary Lee follower since 2003, I am happy to find that he is finally being recognized…read moreapart from the gym at which he teaches. The gym is fabulous, don't get me wrong, but Mister Lee's master workouts deserve more than a small blurb between a description of the locker rooms and the ever-increasing monthly dues. His workouts are the "meat" of my routine and the reason I drive thirty minutes to get to a workout rather than five, and pay $180 per month instead of $50. I do this because there's something about Gary... I'll begin with Gary himself. Thirty-something with a wiry strong, athletic physique, he doesn't look like some crazy Crunch instructor maxed out on steroids. Think Tim Lincecum. Down to earth, often funny, he's one of those people that just walks around exuding good vibes. People tend to gravitate toward him and are excited to be a part of whatever it is he's doing. In the gym, he notices and remembers what each client can do and works from there. He'll yell at you but it's never EVER meant to be mean or to make you do something beyond your personal ability. More encouraging than intimidating, it's a "I notice you're slacking off right now because I know exactly what you're capable of and you're not doing it" warning. My reaction is always either a sheepish grin, or a "you want me to do THAT?" brow furrow... and then I do whatever it is I'm told. The real question is, will training with Gary get you to lose weight? Yeah, it will. As with any trainer though, diet is a huge chunk of it, so don't expect this to be your ONLY solution. Beyond the weight loss though, over time, you'll start to feel tougher. Not just stronger, tougher. (Yes, I'm talking to you too, fellas. Half the class is composed of fit dudes and they have to stop to catch a breath, too). First, you'll notice that you're developing endurance. In the middle of a hard run, you'll be able to drop to a three minute plank followed by a set of push-ups before getting back up to start running again. You'll gain balance such that you won't be twisting or spraining your ankles as easily because the small muscles in your lower legs somehow react faster. Your chronic low back pain will no longer plague you because your core will become tough enough to actually support you (imagine that). The endorphin rush you'll walk away with following each workout will last for hours, putting you in a relaxed, positive mood. These are all effects that I have come to experience for myself throughout my years of training with Gary. Whenever my school schedule conflicts with my G-schedule, I can see and feel the difference, even when I'm consistently taking other bootcamp-style classes, Body Pump, Spinning, Step, and (non-G) kickboxing. I never feel quite as tough or as lean. Needless to say, those are the semesters I dread the most. Fortunately for us all, Gary has branched off to train clients on his own, independent of the pricey gym with workouts on most days of the week. He's the best kept secret to fitness in SF, but now that he's official with Yelp, I think the secret is out...

I've only been going to Gary's Total Athletic Conditioning class at the Bay Club for three weeks…read morenow, but I'll keep going as often as I can for as long as we're both in the same city. It's the hardest fun I've ever had at a gym. Most other teachers at the Bay Club wear headsets and keep talking and giving instructions throughout the class. Gary comes in and says maybe ten words to the class in the whole hour. He teaches like an animal: pure id. He'll sort of bark to get the class's attention, demonstrate the next move, and maybe say the number of repetitions to do, and then blend back into the crowd. It's hard work, but Gary's spirit and the room's esprit de corps really keeps you working hard at it despite any mental resistance. He'll ask you (without words) to do some insanely challenging stuff -- but instead of feeling messed-with, or abused, or anything else negative, you just laugh at the outlandishness of the challenge, then give it a try and find that you can do it. After every class I go home to my wife and say "look what Gary had us do today!" and demonstrate these things where you're in plank and have to jump the length of a step-aerobics-step without really bending your legs, or this "donkey kick" where you're in plank and kick your legs high and balance on your arms, again without really bending your legs. I show my wife and she says "jeez be careful you'll make yourself puke". (On the other hand, my wife is very happy with the physical results of the class). Gary's Bay Club class keeps getting more and more crowded and I hope they will add more classes (maybe they've simply cut back for the summer?) so I can go more often than just Monday and Tuesday. I take 1.5 hours out of the middle my workday to go to Gary's class--so I have to come into work early and/or stay late on TAC days to keep up good appearances. This is totally worth it.
