HIIT School has changed my life for the better. I've been coming here twice a week for over a year now and I feel so much stronger mentally and physically. I've gained so much more confidence in what my body is capable of. I love that the training feels personalized. I feel challenged and supported at the same time. I love this place and the positive impact it's had on me. Highly recommend read more

Having recently moved from Portland, I was on the hunt for a new group training gym in San Jose. Luckily, HIIT School offered a free week trial, so I decided to give it a shot. I've tried it all (Barry's, F45, Orangetheory, Shred 415) and HIIT School is easily at the top. After my trial, I signed up for a membership right away! CLEAN, MODERN FACILITY WITH TOP-TIER EQUIPMENT The moment I stepped into the gym, I was blown away. The facility is clean, new, and stocked with state-of-the-art equipment - some of which I had never even seen before! Whether you're a beginner or advanced, this gym has everything you need to level up your fitness. CHALLENGING & EDUCATIONAL WORKOUTS The workouts constantly change every two days, so there's no chance of me ever getting bored. What really sets HIIT School apart is that it truly lives up to its name. It's not just a gym, it's a school. Nick puts so much thought into the workout programming, helping every student push toward their goals while also educating us along the way. I walk away from every session having learned something new. FRIENDLY & SUPPORTIVE COMMUNITY From day one, I felt welcomed. The atmosphere here is super supportive, and everyone is genuinely friendly. Unlike some other gyms where I've felt intimidated, HIIT School has an encouraging and motivating environment. Sarah and Nick have done an incredible job cultivating this kind of culture. RECOVERY EQUIPMENT ON POINT HIIT School also offers an infrared sauna, ice bath, hot tub, massage chairs, massage guns, and a Hyperice Normatec leg recovery system. I haven't tried everything yet, but I can't wait to take full advantage of it all! ALWAYS EVOLVING & IMPROVING HIIT School isn't just staying the same - they're always adding new things to make the experience even better. They've recently brought in a yoga teacher and are adding a stretch therapist soon. I love that HIIT SCHOOL is always leveling up and making the membership even more valuable. TLDR If you're looking for a group training gym that offers killer workouts, top-notch equipment, and a welcoming community, HIIT SCHOOL IS IT. Plus, the recovery options are a huge bonus. Highly recommend checking it out! read more

I have been doing HIIT School for about 2 months and I can honestly say that this was probably one of the best decisions that I made for myself this year. A part of me regrets that I didn't try it sooner, but better late than never. I felt like I was such in a slump and wanted to do something to get myself to how healthy/fit I was during covid. I did their free trial week & I was immediately sold. The workouts are challenging, but can be fun. The workouts are never the same, so you won't get bored. I find myself pushing myself further with each workout. Nick is an amazing trainer and motivator. Everyone here is also very supportive of each other. HIIT School also has a some nice amenities, like sauna, cold plunge, etc. I haven't used any of those yet, but I can't wait to try it! I look forward to continuing my HIIT School journey. If anyone is looking to challenge yourself physically and mentally for the new year, sign up for HIIT School! You won't regret it! read more

HIIT School - Gyms Near Me - San Jose, California

This review is long overdue. I have been working out at this gym for 6 months now, and have nothing to add. The workouts are thoughtful and considered, the trainers are EXPERTS, and schedules and policies for canceling and rescheduling classes are humane and reasonable. This is not a gym looking to get corporate dollars off your ass! This is a gym looking to make the community better and stronger (from bonus nutritional content to community volunteering and engagement). As an example, our high exertion points are matched in donations to local charities! A true neighborhood joint, this feels like the gym equivalent of cheers- instead of getting drunk, you're getting hot- and everybody knows your name. read more

I've tried a lot of workout classes in the area, and this studio is my favorite. All of the instructors I've had are great--super motivating without being over the top, and really good at giving clear cues and modifications. What I love most is the balance of cardio and strength. The variety keeps things interesting, and I never feel like I'm stuck in a routine. If you're looking for a place that keeps you engaged, pushes you in the right ways, and has an awesome team running the show, this is it. read more

This is the fitness and life change community you have been looking for. I fell off my fitness routine 3 yrs ago and had a tough time getting started again. When I saw HIIT school in downtown Willow Glen I figured I would give it a shot. Honestly had low expectations that a group class would be for me having tried in the past - I usually got bored. Wow, was i surprised- Nick and his team do run a group class (capped at 30 - and regularly sells out) - however the way it works they have time to provide individual attention to everyone. Also peers in the class help motivate and get through the initial learning curve. This is a community of trainers and people at all levels plus backgrounds. After 7 months me and my partner are consistently there 2-3 times a week. Most important goal for me achieved: getting there consistently and not being bored. It all started with. 7 day trial and so happy I did it. See you there! read more

HIIT School - Gyms Near Me - San Jose, California

HIIT School really is a 5 facility with top of the line fitness equipment and recovery amenities. I love the mix of cardio, strength, resistance, balance and agility training. The trainers really care about your personal fitness journey, giving you the benefits of a personal trainer within a group fitness setting. read more

HIIT School with Coach Nick has been an absolute game-changer for me! In just two months, I lost 1 inch off my waist and dropped my body fat from 14% to 10% measured on top of the line In-body scale available at the gym at no cost. The workouts are intense, well-structured, and incredibly effective. Coach Nick pushes you to your limits while keeping things fun and motivating. If you're serious about getting leaner, stronger, and fitter, this is the place to be. Highly recommend! And I have to mention the all recovery tools available like suna, cold tank and legs compression. read more

Great class format and I leave every class so glad that I went. Nick the owner and primary instructor puts together well thought out classes and explains the movements and why we're doing them. Not to mention the other attendees are great and it's easy to make friends. Suitable for all fitness levels so don't be intimidated from coming in. I love taking advantage of the recovery amenities such as the sauna, ice bath, leg compression tubes. Come in and check it out!! read more

I love it. I always look forward to class. The variety and organization of exercises ensures a well rounded, full body workout. It's really easy to follow and it's efficient. As a trainer myself, I can attest that creating such a space with top notch equipment that operates well consistently, is always clean, and is maintained despite high usage - all of that is really hard. On top of that, delivering quality classes and keeping an entire group of moving bodies organized among that equipment - that's very hard. But here, everything works, and Nick and Stephanie are excellent. Moreover, the members are so kind, welcoming, and positive. I remember my first time, and no joke, three members were so cool with showing me what to do and where to go next during the workout. That meant a lot and is reflective of the type of leadership this gym offers. For me, I work from home. Working out in my garage or at the Planet Fitness near my house is convenient though boring. I needed a community. I'm so glad I joined. This place is perfect IMO. read more

HIIT School has been a game changer for me. The workouts are so great and they change it up so often, you never do the same workout twice. It never gets boring. Trainer Nick is passionate about this program and his students and it shows every day. Additionally, the other people that work out at HIIT are really welcoming. I have never been one to feel comfortable in a gym environment, but the sense of community at HIIT is totally different from other gyms I've gone to. The other people are of all ages and skill sets, but everyone supports each other and are very friendly. read more

Was a crossfitter for 10 years then f45 for two and finally im being challenged consistently at hiitschool. Dont be bougie with a personal trainer come join a friendly but competitive (with yourself) environment. Youre not on your own here. read more

I've been coming here since it opened in Willow Glen, and I can honestly say it's one of the best fitness communities I've ever been part of. Every class is different, which keeps things fresh and challenging, and the energy is always high. Nick is an incredible instructor--knowledgeable, motivating, and down-to-earth. He really knows how to push you without ever making it feel intimidating. The people who go are friendly, supportive, and absolutely not cliquey. It's a welcoming environment for all fitness levels. If you've got time after class, the recovery options are fantastic too. Highly recommend checking it out if you want an effective workout, an amazing coach, and a great crew to sweat with...just don't ask him to play Chappell Roan! read more

I've been a member of this gym for about 2 and half months and have been impressed with Coach Nick and the HIIT School community. I've been a member of MANY gyms over the past 20+ years and here a few things that stand out: - One week trial with no pressure to join. I probably would not have tried this gym if not for the free trial. I anticipated a sales pitch but my trial week was a pleasant experience unlike many other gyms which can feel like walking into a used car dealership. - Pricing transparency with no long term contract required, and no hidden/extra fees. Membership includes recovery therapies (cold plunge, infrared sauna, compression boots, massage chairs). - Clean facility with well-maintained equipment, showers and towel service. Nick's attention to detail makes the space inviting; I especially enjoy the variety of plants and heated toilet seats! - Classes include intervals of strength and cardio and the programs change constantly so you will not be bored. There is also a yoga class on Sunday mornings that I highly recommend! - Classes are held at a variety of times (as early as 5:20a), instructors are reliable and classes start on time! (These are priorities for me.) There are also open gym hours in addition to classes if you'd like to come work out on your own. - Finally, Coach Nick is supportive, knowledgeable and has great energy. Some coaches use cookie cutter plans for everyone and make assumptions about goals (e.g. weight loss). I appreciate that Nick takes the time to get to know his members, ask questions, and offer modifications to accommodate personal goals, injuries, etc. If you are looking for a new gym with a wonderful community in a super convenient location, I highly recommend giving the free trial week a shot! read more

HIIT School is special. It's where you go if you want to learn how to push yourself, move correctly, and understand why you're doing what you're doing. There are so many fitness options out there- I've done a lot of them- but if you're looking for the next challenge or you feel like trying something new, come here. It's more than just showing up; it's training to get better- stronger, faster, more balanced, better endurance. When you think you're getting the hang of an exercise, it'll change to an iso or compound movement and then you get to try and master it again. There's new programming every other day that's thoughtfully sequenced and tailored to goals. Like the name says, it is like school, but the good news is you're not going through puberty and there's no homework. read more

I cannot say enough about this life-changing place. From a fitness perspective, it has all that you need - tough, yet scalable workouts with high-end equipment that are always challenging and changing. The programming removes the guesswork and lets you focus on pushing yourself. The community is great, too. Everyone is encouraging and fun to be around. The group motivation is simply awesome. If you're looking for a gym or a new routine, your search should end here. This place is it. Highly recommended! read more

This is not only the best workout I've done, but the amenities are also great. You can workout, then do a cold plunge and sit in the infrared sauna. There's also compression boots for recovery. I've yet to try the zero gravity massage chairs but will get to them soon. Nick is amazing and cares about all his students. And there's a big parking lot in the back so you don't have to worry about finding a space in busy WG. A++++ read more

I've been working out since I was a teenager and have tried a lot of different programs to stay in shape. From personal trainers, instructor-led classes at the gym, Barry's Bootcamp ++++, but NOTHING compares to HIIT School! I was lucky to discover HIIT School at Google, where I work and participated in the onsite workouts there and absolutely loved it! When I found out that Nick opened up an actual studio in Willow Glen - I quit my Barry's membership and signed up. It has been an integral part of my life ever since and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the intentionality and variety of the different exercises that Nick puts together each week. There is never a dull moment and your body is constantly being challenged in various ways to achieve overall fitness. ...and it is so much FUN!!! Good vibes and great community - not to mention all of the additional complimentary perks that are part of the membership! They have the best recovery equipment available - including an infrared sauna, cold plunge, massage chairs, leg recovery boots and theraguns. The facility is BEAUTIFUL and clean. Can you believe the floor is made up of recycled Nike shoes?! Nick and Sara are the very BEST in the business and I highly recommend trying it out! First week is free so you have nothing to lose - except for a few pounds. ;-) read more

My super fit girlfriend convinced me to join with her. As an ex D1 track athlete. I thought I was in good shape. HIIT School definitely challenges that thinking. I work out hard and I feel better than I ever have, the staff is super knowledgeable and motivating great place! read more

I've been doing workout classes at HIIT School for a year now and I'm loving it! Lots of variety so you never get bored, cool functional workouts, and always the right level of challenging but accommodating for all fitness levels. Shout out to Trainer Kyle for creating an awesome workout program, now please expand HIIT School locations to the Peninsula! read more

I can't say enough good things about HIIT School. The workout, trainers, and community are what sets this fitness program apart. It's been my most consistent workout for the past 5+ years. The trainers have coached me and provided nutrition advice through various life changes, including getting ready for my wedding, staying active through 2 pregnancies, and gaining back my strength postpartum. When the pandemic hit, the HIIT School community remained strong, and continued to be a source of regularity, comfort and friendship in a difficult and uncertain time. Now, post-pandemic, I love the flexibility the program offers, everything from in-person to virtual and even a hybrid option! A special shout out to Nick and Kyle, who I not only think are excellent trainers, but also consider to be dear friends. read more

I've been twice now and I'm obsessed with HIIT School!! The trainers are awesome and the facility is incredible. I loved the workout and am so excited to go back!! read more

The workouts are super challenging and keep me motivated. Nice, clean facility, excellent equipment and the recovery amenities are a stand-out. Nick is an excellent coach and explains things clearly, especially when you're new. You won't be bored and you won't regret it. read more

HIIT School is one of the best gyms I've worked out in. Coach Nick and Kyle have created a strong community here that motivates everyone and makes anyone feel welcome. The facilities are first class from the equipment on the floor to all the recovery tools that are at your disposal (Normatecs, Hypevolt guns, cold plunge, sauna, massage chairs). The programming and class structure are set up to make you successful and make quick progress whether you're a newbie or professional athlete. read more

I'm taking classes from HIIT school at my corporate office. The coaches at HIIT school are great. They are energetic and encouraging. The workouts can be challenging, but the trainers help you scale at your own pace. They make it a welcoming environment for all fitness levels, and the results are undeniable! read more

I've been training with coach Kyle at HIIT school for over a year, and I highly recommend it. The classes are well-designed and challenging, yet it's still a lot of fun. I noticed the improvement on my overall conditioning quickly after I started, and it has been effective at keeping my body at a healthy and energetic state. read more

I've been taking HIIT School classes with Trainer Kyle since 2019 and keep coming back because his workouts are engaging, challenging, and fun! I especially appreciate how he modifies exercises to support my on-going knee injury and kindly keeps me accountable when I lose focus. Thanks to Kyle's guidance, I've gotten stronger and maintained a consistent workout habit, which has been life-changing (truly). If you're looking for a supportive and challenging workout environment, HIIT School with Kyle is the perfect place! read more

Fun, varied and ever-changing workouts in a corporate outdoor setting. Kyle is always cheerful and positive and really motivates participants - he has great EQ to know which people might benefit from a little competitive push and who just needs encouragement now and then. He proactively proposes suitable modifications since he keeps mental tabs on who has what injuries or other challenges - but he keeps it quiet and doesn't make a big fuss about it, which I appreciate. It's very motivating and I am always pleased to come to 7am class - it sets me up very well for the day. read more

State of the art equipment ,great facility and awesome knowledgeable trainers. The trainers come up with a great variety of workouts that keeps things fresh and fun. read more

Just starting my 9th semester (over 2 years) of HIIT School. This class has not only gotten me in the best shape of my life, but has changed my lifestyle to be more healthy and fitness focused. I've completed hundreds of these classes and they still find ways to have me rolling on the ground in exhaustion after the class :) I've been with Trainer Matt and he is inspiring, challenging, and gives you the attention of a personal trainer while in a group setting. The classes are designed to accommodate the most advanced students to students who are just picking up working out. Everyone can go at their own pace. The group setting is great because seeing other people push through the workout will push you mentally to continue it yourself instead of giving in to the exhaustion. This class WILL transform you into a healthier you if you stick to the diet recommendations, push yourself during the workouts and complete the homework. Take the plunge, sign up, and invest in your health, which is the best investment you could ever make. I can promise you won't regret it. read more

HIIT School is the best workout program I've ever done! I joined HIIT School thinking I'd only sign up for one semester, but I keep finding myself re-signing up - because it's become such a daily and integral part of my routine. the workout: + The class is a total body 60-minute workout. The first 10-15 mins we'll warm-up and stretch, and for the next ~45 minutes we'll rotate between a minute on an assault bike and a minute of a strength exercise. + What's great is the variety of the classes. As the classes go on, they gradually add in different equipment to make sure we're being challenged -- whether it's kettlebells, TRX, battle ropes, etc. + I love that the classes are outdoors, rain or shine. After spending most of my day indoors behind a computer, getting some fresh air is super refreshing. + The classes are pretty small with ~ 10 students max, which has really created a sense of community within our groups as well as allowing each of us to get the attention that we need. the trainer: + Trainer Kyle is terrific! He definitely takes care of his students, and pays a lot of attention to detail. I've done other HIIT style classes, and with the fast pace, I've gotten lost with what exercise to do or how to do it. Kyle always is checking on each of his students, though, and keeping tabs on their progress -- whether it's in challenging us to try a heavier dumbbell or keeping track of injuries and modifying exercises. + Overall, Kyle is a great motivator, and one of the most personable and fun trainers I've ever had. food: + HIIT school sends out a food log to keep you on track - which has kept me accountable for my sweet tooth... Overall, this is an amazing program. I've done a similar small group 10-week program, but I've never enjoyed them as much as this one -- or gotten as great results! Would definitely recommend HIIT school! read more

This class has gotten me in the best shape of my life. I could probably barely run 2 miles before starting. I just finished a half marathon a few weekends ago, not having to stop one time. Nick is an amazing trainer. He's funny, enthusiastic, and he really gets the most out of you. Even when you think you don't have one more rep in you, if he comes over and says something to you, you're going to crank another one out. I cannot recommend the class highly enough. You get out what you put in, but if you're willing to put in the work, Nick will take you very far. read more

This is about the best workout I have ever done in my 15+ years of going to the gym. After 2 semesters, my body composition, muscle mass and fat levels have changed so drastically. I had an amazing coach (Krishen), who was dedicated in ensuring that I get the best out of my workout. read more

If you want results, this is the way to go. Nick is an excellent trainer. He's friendly, knowledgable, and will get you in shape. The workouts are always a challenge and he is very motivating. I've tried a lot of different classes and this is the one class that I can 100% say works! Don't wait to sign up, you'll regret it if you don't! read more

INTENSE, KILLER, TOTAL BODY WORKOUT. I've tried every workout and fitness class out there (Body Pump, Zumba, Soul Cycle, Power Yoga, Bikram, Hot Pilates, Kickboxing, The Dailey Method, boot camps, etc.) and let me just say...HIIT SCHOOL IS HANDS DOWN THE MOST EFFECTIVE WORKOUT I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. I heard about HIIT SCHOOL from a friend and was extremely nervous and reluctant to try it since I've never been a huge fan of boot camps. I had tried some in the past that weren't tough and had the same exercises/workouts each week. So boring. (Hence the reason why I've tried so many fitness classes- I crave change). The reasons why I prefer HIIT SCHOOL over any other fitness class: 1. Combination of weights & cardio - no need to do weights THEN cardio like a 1.5-2 hour workout at the gym. 2. Endless variety of exercises and workouts - They change weekly and HIIT SCHOOL has all types of equipment - AirDynes, squat rack, ropes, landmine, kettle bells, free weights, etc. - it's actually mindblowing. I would've never expected all of that to fit into a truck. 3. High Intensity Interval Training style - Ability to have a tough, effective total body workout in under 60 minutes. Work hard and fast and you're off to enjoy your day or make dinner for your family with an awesome workout under your belt. 4. Mobile - Workouts can take place anywhere!! 5. Staff - The trainer, Nick, is extremely knowledgable, experienced and actually cares more about your results than you do. He keeps tabs on his students' progress and pushes you so that you see RESULTS. He's also decently funny so it makes the class entertaining. 6. Grading Scale - Easy and fun to track progress. 7. Price - Very reasonable at $20 per session (package of 5 can be bought online). I would pay way more for a class like this. Totally worth it. 8. Class Size - Kept small, usually 8-12 students, so that each student is given personal attention by the trainer. Great for motivation, keeping form in check and not risking injury. 9. Most importantly - RESULTS! Why else would you workout if you weren't going to achieve results? HIIT SCHOOL DELIVERS RESULTS. PERIOD. Needless to say, this is my favorite workout. I look forward to this class each week and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to achieve results and exceed their fitness goals. I would also recommend reserving your spot online since the classes fill up quickly. Bottom line - Do yourself (and your body) a favor and experience HIIT SCHOOL- YOUR BODY WILL LOVE YOU. read more

I can't say enough great things about HIIT School. Every workout is different, challenging, and fun. Nick is a great motivator and is personally vested in getting you results. I look forward to each session and love the way my body feels after the intense trainings! read more
