Joe has changed my life and many others including UFC fighters and families highly respected and recommended all with low impact because of my knee and back problems read more

See all

Joe and his team are truly the best! Their combined knowledge and experience is evident with each visit. Each training session is a unique experience. It's challenging yet fun at the same time so you never get bored, and it has allowed me to push myself to limits I never thought possible. Joe tracks your progress and you'll be amazed at how quickly you start to see results. He also demonstrates the correct way to lift weights so you avoid injury. It's such a positive environment, you'll want to keep coming back. I highly recommend this place! read more

I just recently completed 10 months of training and I am proud and amazed at the results. First I have to thank Joe, Jessica, and Vanessa for pushing me every time I came in and helping me to achieve my goal. I didn't know what to expect when I started as I've always only worked out on my own, so not only did I have new found motivation, I was also pushed beyond what I thought I could do... I learned better work out techniques to make the most of my time while working out as well as better eating habits, frequency of work outs, the importance of rest, and the right amount of cardio to pack on muscle and burn fat. I lost a total of 80lbs, over 31 inches, and dropped 30% of body fat... I couldn't of done it without Joe and his trainers... even though my time with Joe has ended, I'm going to continue with what I've learned and want to drop another 10% of body fat... Taking away what I've learned from Joe and his trainers, I have no doubt I'll be able to hit my ultimate goal. read more

Joe Grasso Elite Training - My before and after with Joe Grasso Elite Training - Gyms Near Me - Santa Clara, California

Echoing the theme of the posts I've read: Training with Joe, Vanessa, and Cameron = RESULTS! It's that simple. Joe will tell you from the initial interview and diagnostic body check that he and his team intend to provide results. From then on, if you just follow their simple instructions, that's what you'll get. In the 3 months that I spent with Joe I lost 10% body fat and gained 20 lbs of mass - losing inches where I did not want them (my gut) and gaining them where I did want them (chest, bis, and tris). Loved ones, coworkers, and others noticed! The workouts were fun, challenging, and believe it or not, not that long. The gym is centrally located to a bunch of tech companies in Santa Clara, has all kinds of equipment, and no one will be standing in your way of completing a workout. If you are looking for your bikini bod this summer, I highly suggest you stop by and chat with Joe! read more

Shout out to Joe Vanessa and Gyress-- love these guys! They have made a huge impact on my life. After a yo yo of activities and age, I became complacent and gained weight and was out of shape. After 10 visits I dropped 14 lbs of fat and inches off my waste, arms and thighs. Joe tells some great stories and is very patient - really focuses on proper body mechanics and form. Vanessa is the sweetest but don't let her petite figure fool you- she's a powerhouse who will push you to your limits. Extremely knowledgeable!! Gyress (sp??) love this guy!! Smiles and laughs to make you feel comfortable and pushes you to your limit!! Great personality and knowledgeable. After working with them I walk out with my arms and or legs feeling like jello!!! Thankful they are a part of my life as I transform my body to what it used to be.. hugs you guys!!!! read more

I spent years in the Army and I've never seen results like the results I've gotten in the 3 short months working out at Joe Grasso Elite Training. I can honestly say Im in much better shape now than I was while I was in the service. Joe and his staff really get to know you and your body and will create a specific training program depending on your specific goals whether it be to lose weight, tone up, or look like Michelle B Jordan from Creed 2. I highly, Highly, HIGHLY recommend Joe Grasso Elite Training! read more

I have to say that Joe and his staff are amazing. I recently had a knee operation and I wanted to get strength back into my legs and I've heard nothing but great things about the way Joe trains people. I've been in the martial arts for over 40 years and I've got to say every time I train with Joe I learn something new!! For those of you that want to gain more strength or just tone your body I highly recommend Joe Grass's Elite Training!! read more

Joe and his team are remarkable, and this gym truly provides it all - knowledgeable staff, customized workouts, practical nutritional advice, the best commercial machines I have ever seen - but most importantly, real results. After 5 months, my total body weight is down 14 lbs - while adding lbs of muscle and dropping lbs of fat. Thanks to Joe and his team, I am now stronger and healthier at 50 than I was in my 30's and 40's - and they personalized exercises to strengthen my bad knees without re-injuring them! My teenage son and daughter have also been working out here with excellent results. Their overall body strength and stamina have noticeably improved, and both have increased their standing vertical jumps by 3" (thanks to personalized routines focused on improving jumping ability). Whether you are a long-time weightlifter or just starting out, you will feel comfortable (and see results) in this gym. The whole team will challenge you, encourage you, and educate you. Joe has lots of smiles, lots of great stories, and he truly values people. His heart is just as big as the rest of him! read more

When I started feeling like a slug, I decided to call Joe Grasso. I had trained with him 10 years before and remembered how strong and great I felt after just a few weeks. I wanted to get back to that place! The new location is superb and spacious, and the trainers (especially Vanessa) know exactly how to train me. She knows about my past injuries and ensures we are doing the proper exercises to build muscle without aggravating my conditions - bad knees from several years of martial arts and a bad shoulder from, well, a bad decision to ride a mechanical bull one night! ;) The equipment is state of the art, clean, and I never have to worry about other members. Yes, you pay a bit more than those crappy, high volume places, but you get what you pay for - and the quality, comfort, and feeling CLEAN and SAFE are all priceless. I am sore after every session, which feels great! I'm getting stronger, feeling more confident, and am definitely walking with better posture. I'm so glad I came back to Joe Grasso and highly recommend this place for those who want high quality training in a great facility. read more

Joe Grasso - great trainer and an even better human being! Love going for training to Joe's he really understands the needs of his clients and customizes the training based on their needs. Joe shows you results through realtime measurements and loads of encouragement to push a little harder! Absolutely recommend Joe to any friends looking for effective strength training and results!! read more

Joe and the rest of his trainers are amazing! The results have been there for me on muscle gain. I have struggled with the fat loss portion of the goals I set for myself, but that is not the fault of the trainers here! That is a motivation/diet issue and the holidays definitely bit me. I have worked out with Joe in the past, and the new facility is WAY better than the old one, especially after a heavy leg workout day! I appreciate the fact that Joe has always been conscious of my overall goals, which are burn fat and gain strength/muscle. I have never felt like they were more interested in pumping me through the workouts to get me out the door. The focus has always been on my experience, on my health, and my form (to keep my joints happy and healthy) They have pushed me beyond what I though I could do, and the results are definitely showing. They are just hiding below the layer of poor diet choices :) I also appreciate that Joe and his team do not push any sort of supplementation, but rather focus on the things that everyone NEEDS to know... Safe, load bearing exercise, and a clean diet WILL result in weight loss and muscle gains, no one pimping out the latest powder, or shake, and the staff is Super helpful with questions, guidelines and keeps the workouts fun, and varied so that you (and more importantly, your muscles) never get into a rut, and plateau. Thanks again for the workouts! Matt read more

I am now leveraging Joe to help my second boy to recover from a back injury, Joe and his team are really elite trainers. The approach, the professionalization and also the facility is all 5 stars. Few years ago my older boy practiced few months in Joe's gym and the results were super. Highly recommended read more

This gym is the real deal! Private, by appointment only, so it is never crowded, ensuring that you will receive the specialized training necessary to achieve your goals and you WILL achieve them with Joe and his staff. Jairus (I hope I'm spelling his name correctly) is awesome! Joe gave me vital information about the right foods to eat and the right combination to help burn fat and build muscle, and Jairus helped me to meet my fitness goals and pushed me to lift weight that I didn't think was possible. In 5 weeks, I shed 10 pounds, lost 4 inches off my waist, thighs and triceps and lost fat! Joe gives a highly detailed assessment and body measurement to help you keep track of your fitness journey and KEEP YOU MOTIVATED! You won't be disappointed! read more

Joe and Vanessa are great! Pleasure to have worked with them. great results, great variety in routine and always keeps you motivated. After my 30 visits were done, I definitely felt like I was in much better shape. read more

Joe and rest of the trainers are simply amazing!! I loved the output for the amount of input I had put in. Results: I took a package of 15 visits and lost a couple of inches from waist and seven pounds in just 2 months. I used to go two to three times a week. Process: Each session is one hour long in which you warm up and then do training with one of the trainers. What I learnt is how to achieve results smart and not the hard way. Joey and the team focused on increasing my metabolism and strength for achieving the results. The trainers at Joey makes sure that you are doing the right excercices and importantly in the right form. I liked the gym atmosphere as well. There were TVs attached to each elliptical/tread mill where I could watch something nice while warming up. They have a diverse set of equipments (really I mean that!) so I never got bored etc. Overall it was a great experience and I would recommend others to try it out :). read more

I just completed the 10 session package with Joe Grasso and every five star review here is absolutely well-deserved. I came in in fairly decent shape, but wanted to lose body fat and weight overall, and build strong, sexy muscles (I really want to look great in a bikini!) Joe assured me from the first training that I would see pretty incredible results in ten sessions. He was right. I lost 7% body fat, 8 pounds overall and lost 10 inches in total, including 3 inch off my waist. THREE INCHES OFF MY WAIST. In ten sessions! I truly hate cardio, and get bored with mindlessly running on a treadmill. What I love most about our workouts here is that Joe and his trainers really maximize your time, doing effective (tough!) strength moves that leave my limbs feeling like tired noodles (in the best way possible) and then you're out the door in what seems like no time at all. Thank you Joe, Vanessa, and every other trainer who helped me achieve these results! I plan to be back for more and know the results will be awesome! read more

Joe and his team are amazing. I'm halfway through my program and I have had amazing results (lost 8% of body fat in just 4 weeks). I have worked with many personal trainers but none as good, professional and efficient as Joe. Recommend 100%. read more

I've been coming to Joe Grasso for about a year now. In that time I've lost at least 50 lbs of fat and seen significant increases in strength and energy. Most importantly, Joe's staff stresses proper form which minimizes injuries. I stuck with it, put in the effort, and am overall impressed with the results. read more

Joe Grasso has been in the business longer than most trainers have been alive. There is something to his techniques and his determination to help you achieve your goals. With Joe Grasso your success is his success. He has genuinely been proud to see the extreme changes I have undergone to get back to my healthy self inside and out. Nutrition is repeatedly reinforced when working out with Joe Grasso. You cannot achieve your goal of being fit without it. Lastly, the one-on-one coaching is something I prefer to loud and chaotic gyms. A++ read more

Signed up 12/16/16 and after 10 visits (less than 1-month) down 5% in body fat, lost 8 lbs of fat, and added 5 lbs lean muscle (for a total of 3 lbs down on the scale). The most important thing to me is that my strength has increased quickly after 5-years without lifting weights. Really like the atmosphere of the gym and the attention to detail that Joe/Vanessa and other trainers give you. read more

I've been training with Joe for nearly two years now and it has been one of the best decisions I have made for my general health an well being. Not only has it helped me in my martial arts but I've also been able to return my cholesterol and blood pressure to normal levels, and the also no longer pre-diabetic! If you are willing to put in some hard work, then i highly recommend Joe to anyone who is serious about getting into strong, fit, and healthy! read more

Joe Grasso Elite Training is truly THE BEST! For the longest time, I've wanted a personal trainer to help me get into shape. A few weeks ago by luck, I stumbled upon his website and thought I'd make an appointment. That was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. I just completed 10 sessions and already, I have awesome results. (Not to mention feeling so much better too) What I love about this place is that it's well-maintained, clean, private - (there's never more than a few people at any given time) but even more importantly, the motivation, encouragement and guidance from both Joe and Vanessa. Seeing my results after just 10 sessions has inspired me to sign up for 10 more. I love it! I HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Training at Joes facility is great. Every workout is different. Vanessa was attentive to my limitations and pushed me. Well worth my time.

I have heard some good reviews about Joe Grasso methods and I was curious. I am ready to take my body to the next level and so while searching online for trainers in Santa Clara, his came up and what caught my attention were the results people were having in a short amount of time with him, I'm only on testing day, and I already feel my muscles burning! He's friendly and very accommodating, yet you know he is going to push you to do your best. He assessed me first and took measurements and because I got the 10 Day Visit special this month, he kept saying how I will already see some results in those 10 visits. There were a lot of testimonials on Yahoo, but to really find out - I must follow his advice and put some work into it. Nothing comes easy, but I am willing to build my muscles up this time to get in shape. So I am putting a good review right now because I am very happy even with the assessment! Wish me luck and I will do another review in 10 days!:-) read more

When I first emailded joe it was after hours, he called my first thing the next business day. To me that set the tone. Great responsiveness, very pleasant to speak with. He signed me up at no obligation to come visit the gym. The gym is beautiful, all equipment was clean and an atmosphere that was inspiring for me to work hard and get great results. After my first few visits joe worked on my to get a base line to get me prepared for what was coming. Next he had me start working with Venessa, which is one of the best trainers I have ever worked with / along with Joe. She is very informative and organized on specifics routines that fit you life style. If you want to work your ass off, or maybe you have an injury that you need to take some time she is one bad ass trainer!!!!!! Overall not tons of people in the gym at one time....bonus! Tons of equipment, he has it all!!! I have lost about 15 lbs 260 to 245 last weigh in I gained 9 pounds of muscle in two months. It's like paying for silver and receiving platinum I love these guys, they care and treat every client like they are family. Would give them ten starts if possible. Hope to see you there! Will update later when I continue to get results. read more

I purchased the 30-visit package with fitness goals of losing weight and the ability to run 5 miles continuously. During my training, I never ran a single lap and Joe assured me that by the time we concluded my sessions, I would be able to run at least 5 miles continuously with no effort. To my surprise, he was absolutely right. Joe is very knowledgeable about physiology and nutrition and shares his expertise with his clients in order to help them achieve their goals; I lost approximately 20 pounds and 4 inches off of my waist. I continue to utilize Joe's exercise techniques and nutritional guidelines and have been successful at keeping the weight off and my stamina/endurance up since our last session (about 3 months ago). Joe doesn't teach or endorse fad diets and encourages clients to live a normal life, enjoying food in a healthy fashion and incorporating exercise and weight training regularly. I admitted to Joe once and a while that I "cheated" on my diet and he assured me that I was still on track and said, "You have to live life." This realistic approach facilitates long-term maintenance of weight loss, retention of muscle mass and cardiorespiratory endurance. My girlfriend is a Registered Nurse and is skeptical of trainers who teach unsafe methods of exercise and/or poor nutrition (including starvation diets) and she was very impressed with the Joe's training. As with anything, you get what you pay for. Joe's training is not the cheapest in the land but it is definitely the best. If you are going to invest in hiring a trainer, you want long-term results and with Joe this is what you will get. read more
