I've been working with Grant for four months now, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As I've gotten older, I've become more focused on correcting years of poor posture and inconsistent workouts. I wanted to stay active and build a body that's more resilient to injury--and Grant has been exactly the right person to help with that. He takes the time to understand my individual needs and customizes each workout accordingly. He's incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics and always looking to learn and apply new techniques to help me improve. If you're looking for someone who will truly work with you to achieve your personal goals--not just hand you a generic workout--Grant is your guy. read more

I have been training with Grant for past 4+ years and my journey with him has been very rewarding, to say the least. I've been consistently impressed with his expertise, professionalism and dedication as my personal trainer. His in-depth knowledge on fitness and nutrition is matched by his ability to create personalized programs that challenge and motivate me to become a better version of myself. His coaching program offers a well-curated and flexible regime while ensuring my workouts are safe and always push me towards achieving my goals. Over the past four years, I've seen significant improvements in my strength, conditioning, and overall well-being. I highly recommend Grant to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and dedicated trainer who can help them achieve their fitness goals. read more

I highly recommend Grant as your personal trainer after training with him for a while now. He understands every single one of the workouts and recovery process. And he has a passion for it like no other. Besides he's also a very nice person and creates a very healthy training environment for you. So grab a training session with Grant and start getting fit everyone. read more

As someone who wasn't a gym enthusiast before, I have to sing Grant's praises! My husband had been seeing him for years and wouldn't stop raving, so I finally took the plunge a year ago. Grant was amazing. He made me feel completely at ease, even though I was a total beginner in both exercise and healthy eating. Grant didn't just create a challenging but achievable workout plan (which, surprisingly, I actually enjoy!), he also provided fantastic guidance on nutrition. He helped me understand the connection between diet and fitness, and offered personalized suggestions to fuel my workouts and support my goals. After a year working with Grant, I feel stronger, more confident, and have so much more energy. He completely changed my perspective on fitness and nutrition, making them both positive and empowering experiences. Huge thanks to Grant! read more

I have trained with Grant for over two years, and it has been truly transformative. Prior to this I had never worked out and I also had lower back pain and a shoulder injury. Grant created a workout that addressed both issues and the results have been amazing. I have never felt stronger, my endurance has never been better, and I feel like I have shaved 20 years off my age. Grant's workouts are never boring and there is always something new to master. We initially focused on strength and functional fitness. Later on, Grant introduced plyometrics (box jumps, broad jumps).   Whatever your fitness goals are, Grant can help you achieve them. He is supportive, encouraging, knowledgeable and truly cares about his client's success. I recommend him highly! read more

If you value getting in shape without injury, Grant if your guy! Absolutely amazing trainer, he helped me set a roadmap to get my my fitness goal. He's the best trainer in San Jose for sure! read more

Grant is an amazing personal trainer! I have been training with Grant for the past one and a half years and over this time I have improved a lot in terms of building strength. We focussed on weight and functional training and we had a kickboxing/MMA session every Saturday that was a lot of fun. Grant found out about my interest in MMA and wanted to incorporate that in the workout plan he made for me. Apart from that we have regular weigh-ins, discussions about diet and nutrition as well. I remember once that my roomate challenged me to log 50K steps in a day and I was nervous about taking it up but Grant was very supportive and he undertook the challenge with me which we ended up winning ! Grant also regularly organizes 12 week challenges for all his clients which are super fun and competitive. Training with Grant is like training with a friend who wants to motivate you to be more fit ! read more

Grant is honestly unbelievably great at what he does. I was initially very skeptical about working with a personal trainer but Grant was attentive and helpful from the very start. He crafted a unique workout program based on my goals and helped me to achieve those goals. The best thing about training with Grant is that he motivated and pushed me during workouts while making sure that I was using the right posture to prevent injury. I am not a huge fan of cardio and circuits (like everyone else) but after training with him, my endurance​ has vastly improved. Also, I see improvements in strength and muscle gain. I would definitely​ recommend Grant because he cares about his clients and goes above & beyond to help them get results. read more

I don't even know where to start. Found Grant on Yelp (and I did call 2 other trainers on Yelp) and I decided to go with Grant due to his Yelp reviews. I really liked how people were mentioning he was helpful with giving his clients information just beyond just "working out." And, I am SO GLAD we chose Grant! I was actually looking for a personal trainer for my husband. =) He tore his Achilles Tendon in February 2014, we moved into our first home and got married last year- it was a crazy year and not much time for exercise, especially with his injury. Grant is SO KNOWLEDGEABLE in EVERYTHING that he does. THIS IS KEY! If you want to improve your fitness, you really do have to know your body, be aware of your meals, etc. Grant does ALL OF this! He is just so aware of everything. I love how my husband comes home and tells me things I've been telling him, but he comes home and tells me like he's heard it for the first time. And, even crazier, whatever Grant is telling my husband, it sticks. But more so, my husband FEELS great. He's not only slowly losing the pounds one by one, but he hasn't felt this great in a long time. We initially signed up for 13 sessions for the first round with Grant. And just, last week, he signed up for an additional 10 sessions with Grant. He's just that good. And yes, unlike other trainers, he actually types out everything and e-mails you all the exercises that was done. He's also doing another new App thing where it's easier to look on your phone, too. (I don't have all the details yet, but just want to show how he really does care for his client's well-being.) He does get booked up. Which is good for him, but sometimes bad for those that want to get on his schedule. Definitely give Grant a call and see what he can do for you. THANK YOU, GRANT!!! =) read more

When you select 5 stars on yelp, it says "Woohoo! As good as it gets!" . Grant absolutely fits this I've trained with many other people over the years and he is in a league of his own. I think Grant should advertise as Trainer, Teacher, Life Coach :) He doesn't just train you physically, he teaches you WHY and provides an outlook on life we all need to work harder to embody, how do we make a real difference in the world. I have a friend that is a personal trainer and she recently posted on facebook stating her clients shouldn't ask for their workouts written down for them, as it would put her out of a job. Grant is smarter than that. He believes in enabling you to workout at on your own, is happy to give you your workouts with him, as well as write totally new workouts to do on your own. He honestly cares for his clients, and wants to do everything to help make us successful. I have referred 3 close friends to him, all of whom absolutely love training with him. Recently I asked Grant to help me build the strength/muscle it takes to be crew on a 40ft sailboat. Not an easy task (I'm a 5'2 40 yr old woman), but Grant has created completely new exercises for me, based on the movements needed. Whether it is to lose inches or build strength, Grant is your man! Oh and be prepared to learn things you didn't realize about your body and find yourself wanting to make a difference in the world after a couple sessions with him. :) Happy Training!! read more

I've been training with Grant for two months now and I feel great! He gives me that extra push I needed with my workouts. I always enjoy our sessions and I leave with a huge feeling of accomplishment. He's very encouraging and makes sure I feel comfortable with my workouts and my eating habits. Even when I am not training with him, he gives me a routine to do on my own and we set goals and meet them every time. TEAM GRANT!!!! read more

Grant Kennedy Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

Let me just start off with- GRANT IT FREAKIN' AWESOME. I was at my heaviest weight I'd ever been when I decided to sign up for some training sessions. I got paired up with Grant, and I'll always be happy that I did. I had 4-5 sessions with him over a month- one month and a half period of time, and I went down at least 4 sizes. I've kept the weight off, and continue to use all the knowledge and workouts I've learned from Grant in my workouts now. He always pushed me, but never too hard where it was unrealistic or to the point of injury. Was always fun to train with him, never just strictly business! Loosing weight is possible, or if you're just trying to gain muscle! Grant is your guy and is highly recommended in my book. read more

Worked with several different personal trainers before. Grant is the best. He pays attention to you and will work with you to figure out what to improve. In my option that's the most important thing in terms of personal training. You want to get the full attention from the coach so that you can improve and avoid hurting yourself. Grant is also a nice guy. We have built a good friendship in the past 1.5 years. read more

I've been training with Grant for over a year. He's the most amazing trainer i've ever had. Creates workouts that cater to my specific goals, keeps me on target, and is super easy to relate to. I highly recommend Grant for any type of fitness goal, i've personally made great gains and can't wait to see what other goals we'll smash! read more

I've trained with him once and he is a beast. His strengths are his passion and knowledge of fitness that makes him stand out between other trainers. You just need to make the decision to change your body and life then let Grant do his job and you'll be surprised at the end of this journey. If you care about yourself and looking for professional training, you just found the right person. read more

Sometimes it's hard to find someone who you can trust, who truly likes their job and who works to give a higher value service than what you paid for. I think Grant was a once in a lifetime find for me. I've struggled with a nasty back injury and prior sports injuries. I lost all of my core strength and flexibility with muscle spasms and gained 30 pounds due to the inactivity after my biggest injury. I did numerous very very expensive physical therapy programs to no satisfaction. A year and a half later I decided I had to get myself from nothing to something again but in a way that I felt I could achieve my goals and not feeling like I'm throwing crazy amounts of money towards it. I've only seen Grant for about a week now but I can say with confidence that he fits the bill perfectly. He really cares about target attainment that's safe but incredibly effective. I have a program tailored to me that I'm confident with and I don't feel intimidated at all by him or the program because he's very encouraging and has plenty of modifications that get you rolling. I have no question I can make my goals because it's based on science and facts I can see infront of me even with just a few visits. He personally takes me through each visit one on one so he can modify my program as needed as I go. He's extremely knowledgeable in the human body and muscle groups and has been spot on with which muscles I need to work in order to achieve my goals. The program works if you're a seasoned sports freak or if you've never exercised in your life and have issues. He also offers all the one on one coaching you might need or want ranging from diet to home programs, etc. And he'll review periodically for modification to help keep you on track. His product is also something I've never seen offered - after you get to the goal you set with him, you take what you learn from him and can keep doing it on your own if you want. Which is what he wants for his clients. Smartest investment I've made in a long while for myself. Highly recommended. read more

Grant is an amazing personal trainer. Down to earth and really takes the time to do things right. :)

Grant is the real deal, a trainer who gets it and has as his focus the goals and well being of his clients and the most effective way to achieve them. he is super friendly - in addition to being an excellent personal trainer he is really easy to be around. I think this is a key item - if you're going to spend hours with someone over a long period of time it is important that you feel comfortable with them. When i first met with Grant to set up a training program the he gave me the full range of options; from 1:1 ongoing sessions through to setting up an individualize program that i could do on my own, with periodic check-in sessions. he got to know me and my style, recommended what has turned out to be the right program for me. Grant knows training, knows the human body - from looking at a clients everyday work profile and taking that into account in setting up a program to knowing what stretches are important for an individual and ensuring the the program that is developed is the best for the client. I highly recommend Grant. I have referred my wife, son and daughter to him! read more

I have been training with Grant on and off for about an year now. He is pretty good at understanding what your goals are and crafting a regimen around it. He is not very pushy to sell you like other trainers at bigger gyms. He also sets you up with a training regimen so that you can train on your own on days you are not training with him. Overall, I highly recommend him and I'd definitely train with him. read more

Grant is different from other trainers because training isn't his job. Training is Grant's life. The man works just as hard hitting the books and learning as he does training in the gym with his clients and boy does it make a difference. It's obvious that Grant cares deeply about not only the body, but also the mind and spirit. As a Doctor of Physical therapy, I have worked closely with Grant and will refer my patients to no one else. read more

I trained with Grant for about 9 months. At 35, Grant helped to get me in the best shape of my life. He is dedicated to helping clients meet their goals and planned out daily/weekly workouts to hit my longer term goals. He is meticulous about good form and technique. Even after I decided to stop training with Grant, he planned long term workout routines to help me keep my goals going. If you're looking for a trainer, Grant's your guy. read more

I came to visit town for a few weeks and my sister had been seeing grant for personal training. I saw such a nice improvement in her body I had to join! After just two weeks I had my abs back ! Grant is badass and is patient and caring. read more

I've worked out with various trainers for years but Grant has been the only one I've seen significant results with. He tracks my workout each time and makes sure we are changing the routine and increasing weight each time. In the 3.5 months I've been working out with him, I have gained 7lbs of muscle (7 or so to go for my goal) and reduced my body fat percentage from 19 to 14%. I've been very impressed! read more

The best personal trainer we have ever worked with! My girlfriend and I were referred to Grant for personal training by one of her friends. We have worked with trainers before but never really got the results we were looking for. My goal was to gain 15lbs of muscle and my girlfriend wanted to work on her legs and abs, or as she put it "get a J-Lo booty". Initially we were going to do paired training but Grant advised us to do 1 on 1 training instead since we had different goals and would have different workout programs. He set us up with meal plans so we knew what to eat and how many calories we should be consuming. So far I have gained 10lbs and my girlfriend has added 4 inches to her hips while decreasing her body fat! Grant gives us a copy of the workouts and designs the program so we know what to do when we are not meeting with him. I Highly recommend Grant for anyone looking for a personal trainer. read more

I have worked with Grant for a few months and have already seen improvements in mobility, technique and strength. I have worked out on my own and even followed online coaches but I have found Grant's personal training to be a game changer in terms of making progress faster. His attention to detail allows him to make small adjustment in my techniques that really improve my efficiency and ability to do more. Grant has made great suggestions with regard to mobility and creative exercises that are totally customized to my body and goals. I feel much healthier and stronger even though I am training harder than ever. He has setup a complete program for me to follow each day and the workouts evolve over time as I improve in areas and need new challenges. I am very happy with Grant's coaching. read more

Simply put, Grant is the trainer you've been searching for but haven't been able to find...UNTIL NOW! First and foremost -- his positivity is infectious. He is extremely passionate about his craft, and it really shines through in his training. The thing I like most about training with Grant is that he listens! He has stayed true to both the long and short term fitness goals I brought to him on day 1, and consistently pushes me to be the best I can be. He takes the time to fine tune both macro and micro movements, and is always teaching me ways to push myself while training safe. Grant's workouts are always dynamic and they build on each other. I really appreciate the way he takes time to build a solid core movement foundation, and then continuously makes adjustments to the basic core movements (push/pull/squat/lunge/etc) as not to plateau. I finished my first 10 sessions and immediately signed myself and my brother up for another 20 sessions of paired training! Grant now trains both of us and I can't stress enough what an amazing job he does at keeping us both on our toes....SETS, REPS, AND SWEAT! Thanks G, you the man! read more

My Two boys (13 and 11) train with Grant. The training is hard and geared toward their sport of choice - soccer. After every session they are beat and say, "This was the toughest training ever." But, they can't wait to go back because they know it is helping them become faster, stronger, and a better athlete overall. Grant really can relate to the kids and the boys love having him as their coach/trainer. Normally the kids get bored with exercise, but not with Grant. He keeps things light and the kids don't even feel like they are working out because the sessions are varied. The sessions are fun and go by fast. I would recommend Grant to anyone to wants to become a better athlete. read more
