I started my session with Valeria due to a doctor recommendation. I was reluctant and frankly felt…read morethat I had better things to do with my time. Valeria canceled my negative expectations quickly with not only her kindness, but her acknowledgement that bodies are different and respond differently. Her knowledge is extensive and her ability to talk in layman's terms makes it easy. I felt that I had a knowledgeable coach that was on my side and had the wisdom to actually help me improve. She sincerely wanted to learn about me so she could show me how to help myself. I found myself calling my wife to join our sessions. I thought my wife would benefit from Valeria's knowledge as much as me and that we both would be better because of it. It was true. I highly recommend that you bring this nutritional coach on to your personal team. Watch how you will improve by taking her advice. See how, with Valeria's coaching, that you will become more aware not only of your nutrition but how your body might react to the medications that you take and how certain activities could improve your life.

Did you know you could get a body composition scan? This is new to me but what great information!…read moreNot only is the information interesting the staff is both professional, kind and knowledgeable. Lots of other services are offered and the location is suitable.

Went to get a first DEXA scan and really didn't know what to expect. The appointment was fast, and…read morethe service was friendly. Kalen greeted us as if we are old friends. The DEXA scanner is inside the van but don't let that fool you. Kalen walks you through the process, what to expect during the scan. Before you know it, it's done. Afterwards, Kalen goes through your results in detail, and of course, leaves room for questions at the end. All this is done in about 20-30 and not once did we feel rushed (even though there is an appointment afterwards). You also get an email copy of your DEXA results. The results itself is highly detailed and highlights what your weight consists of (fat tissue vs lean tissue). Now that we have baseline numbers, we can see if our training and conditioning plan will be paying off in the utmost geek manner. Whether you're trying to lose weight or gain more muscle (or both!), this is a great way to find out.

Absolutely terrible clinic. I had been in touch with them for a month ....first they requested a…read morereferral from my primary care so my primary care sent it over. They kept saying they didn't receive it. I had to contact primary care several times to have them fax the referral to them a couple times until they finally received it. They got a pre-authorization from my insurance company which means they accepted me as a patient. They scheduled me for several visits so I blocked myself on my work schedule. I filled out all the paperwork , showed up at my very first appointment because I was very excited about a new journey and I was told that they will not be able to see me. It was very unprofessional the way that the staff didn't have a clue that they don't accept my insurance until one of the other staff members pointed it out. she said just because they don't accept my insurance, I wont be able to pay out-of-pocket to be seen. They obviously had some discrimination against me. I would never waste my time to see these unprofessional people that called themselves a clinic. They didn't even apologize enough for wasting my time to come in , to fill paperwork and to go back and forth with my primary care.

3 months ago, I challenged myself to do something totally crazy - attempt something no one who…read moreknows me would expect - something that, quite frankly, seemed scary to me. I got a personal trainer. With two little ones, I decided it's time I get healthier. But, what do I know about fitness?! From day 1 - I was put at ease by Nick. He met with me, talked to me about my goals and discussed what sort of options were available to me. He never once made me feel like it was a hard sell - more, he was here to answer my questions and encourage me. Most importantly, he assured me that this wasn't going to be something that was going to drive me away. The team was going to work with me at my pace. I decided I'd go three mornings a week - totally crazy, right?! Now, I work with Vince three early mornings a week. Vince is awesome! He's fun to work with, super knowledgeable - always taking the time to explain things to me. And, most importantly, he's encouraging. I'm nowhere NEAR as advanced as some of the people I see, but Vince makes me feel like I have a place there. Just a few months ago, I would have NEVER thought you'd EVER find me in a gym. Now, I look forward to going!

I started training with Melanie November of 2016. After one of previous personal trainers left…read moreBakar Fitness I tried a few people before finding Melanie. Melanie's profile caught my eye on the website of Bakar fitness. I have always been on the petite side naturally and one of my goals was to be able to gain muscle and be strong. I never thought it was possible for me to be very strong being a 5'3 and naturally skinny person. Melanie definitely proved me wrong! My proudest moment was when I was able to deadlift 185lbs (I was myself 107lbs). While the number of pounds gained/lost definitely shows progress and reflects great milestones in one's personal health journey, training with Melanie has helped me look at health beyond numbers. Training with Melanie has had cascading positive effects in my life. I have become more disciplined when it comes to my health which in turn has improved my diet, reduced my anxiety, helped with my insomnia. Melanie is definitely unique in her approach. I have had several trainers where training means 1 hour of working out with them every week. Melanie is not your average trainer. She cares deeply about her clients and goes above and beyond for them. Outside of our 1 hour of training, to give an example of how Melanie came through as a coach for me - She gave me a nutritional program and kept me accountable. I broke my wrist from a bike ride; Mel helped me train my lower body in isolation for multiple months which helped me stay healthy physically and emotionally. I also had a shoulder surgery from a sports injury. I experienced a lot of atrophy and stiffness after the surgery. Melanie has supported me over the last 2 years to build back my strength and range of motion. I can do pull ups again! I have gained a lot of strength and muscle with her programs. Melanie is not a trainer that just cares about the number of pounds dropped/gained or to just get you high numbers for squats or deadlifts. She is very cognizant of injuries, she puts a lot of focus on conditioning and stretching and taking care of your body like it is a temple.She is extremely educated about anatomy. These qualities differentiates Melanie's programs from just another personal training experience. People often think having a personal trainer is not worth the money. Why pay someone when you can google exercises/programs. Having done my share of googling programs and investing in a personal trainer like Melanie, I can definitely say I am better off with Melanie. I look at health differently now and investing in having an expert like Melanie has definitely been the right choice and the returns have been more than worth it.

She is knowledgeable, non judgmental, kind and tailors the training for me! She always takes into account my aches , pains, post surgical condition, schedule, events, nutrition - you name it - Coach Melanie has always made adjustments that help me in my journey. I am so impressed by her! I met Coach Melanie at the UCSF Bakar Fitness Center when I barely exercised after a cervical spine surgery years ago. I was having back and nerve pain and I hadn't done a triathlon or run in eons, couldn't do a push-up and didn't exercise regularly. After working with Coach Melanie I strength train consistently ( super important for us all!), completed the sprint distance Honolulu triathlon, a couple of 10k's and few metric century rides and am on my way to more! My goal is to one day complete the iron- person distance tri and if anyone can help me get there it's Coach Melanie. We talk over nutrition I even meal prep now - not something I did before. I've had a few trainers over the years but Coach Melanie is the absolute best! I also really respect her values and am impressed by her own health, wellness and fitness journey. She's a fantastic person! Start training with Coach Melanie now to progress in your journey - no matter your level. You'll not regret it
