I got into the best shape of MY LIFE with Nick as my trainer!…read more I've always been fairly active and have been consistent with cardio and workout classes, but was never able to truly get toned or lose my pudge until now. I always felt kind of lost at the gym, but Nick taught me how to strength train and worked patiently with me on improving my form when I had no idea what I was doing. He pushed me to progress with new workout plans, helped me build good habits, and most importantly, kept me consistent!! I am soo happy with the changes to my body - I feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. Thank you Nick!!!

After getting blood test results back where my cholesterol and a1c (blood sugar) levels were the…read morehighest they ever been, I knew I had to make a change. Despite playing regular sports my whole life I've never been able to consistently lift weights so I didn't have high expectations, but working out with Nick has helped to transform my relationship with the gym. He's able to help breakdown exercises and concepts in laymen's terms, is really good at encouraging without making you feel guilty, and leverages technology to help you visualize exercises and track your progress. He's always accessible whether it's meeting up in person to workout together or asking him questions any time of the day. I'm proud to say that 3.5 months later, I've consistently hit the gym ~3x a week (even while on the road), I'm down over 10 pounds, am arguably in the best shape of my life, and have noticed huge gains in muscle and strength. Thanks Nick!

This is the case with Mani, he is as much a philosopher, as a trainer and a healer. I had tried many forms of exercise in the past, like CrossFit, and even though I could get moderate improvement I never managed to make any real change. Mani has spotted all my functional problems, and he's taking a very thorough approach to trying to improve those before we can ramp it up. It takes time. It may sound simplistic but I even had to learn how to improve my posture and stance. Without having a solid foundation it doesn't matter if your training longer and harder. Mani also helped me recover fast after a complex operation in my knee (broken meniscus & torn ligaments). He approached my case methodically and built upon the framework of my physiotherapist. Within 4 months after my operation, I was back on my bike and riding century rides! Save your body, Mani will make sure that you have what you need before you can get faster and harder. Even though I don't train with Mani anymore because I moved out of SF he his wisdom and tips are still with me. I chose a new kettlebell-focused gym that shares Mani's principles and I do try to remember​ his teaching when training or even walking.

When I first started training with Mani I had a long-standing hip issue due to a car accident. I…read moresaw a chiropractor, but that never fully fixed my issue. Mani told me that he knew ways to fix that, which I didn't believe at first because my chiropractor never mentioned anything else to me. Mani helped address my hip issue by manually stretching me, working on my overall walking and running mechanics, and strengthening muscle groups that were weakened from the accident. After all his work, I no longer have my hip issue. I didn't expect this, but Mani has become more than just my trainer, he has also become a mentor and life coach. He has a gift to educate and empower people. As my trainer, he is highly experienced in assessing personal strengths and weaknesses, while integrating them into daily life. He looks at everything from a holistic view and tries to structure a balanced sustainable workout regimen. His knowledge is beyond what you expect from "a trainer" and he surprises me all of the time with his scientific knowledge. He also has a great ability to explain difficult and technical concepts that really help me understand my workouts and mechanics. After a year and half of learning from Mani, I'm still learning many new things and am getting stronger every day.

I joined a friend's training session with Zach of Functional Fitcamps at her local gym a couple…read moreweeks ago and it was so motivating. Zach was able to squeeze so much information and exercise into the hour we had together without moving too fast, or pushing us too hard. My friend and I were at different fitness levels and he was able to help us adjust each exercise to what would benefit us most individually. He knows the body and mind very well and knows how they need to work together to achieve the most in a session which is why I will book with him anytime I'm in the San Francisco area. I was sore for a couple days (which to me is the sign of an excellent work out) and was able to practice some of the same techniques he taught us on my own when I arrived back in LA. Thank you, Functional Fitcamps! See you again soon! PS: He also does fitness for kids, and after working in child development for 8 years, can tell he posses the qualities to be awesome at it! We need more focus on teaching our youth how to stay active for a lifetime! Big ups Zach!

We went over around 10 movements that I can do at home without any fancy equipment and I feel much better. The facility is clean and luxurious filled with modern equipment! I highly recommend reaching out to see how great of a fit he can be for your physical needs.

I've only been to one session but that one session sealed the deal and I'm coming back! He starts you off with a general assessment of physical capabilities: squats, push-ups, pulls, etc. and from there tailors the workouts to meet your needs. He's methodical and patient, guides you through the reps, and is more than happy to demonstrate the exercise again if you forgot how to do it. For me I wanted to work more on my glutes and abs and we went there exercises I had never done before (been gymming for 10 years). Halfway through I told him I wanted to work on my traps and he immediately devised a workout on the spot. At the end we did a quick 2 minute HIIT workout with the battle ropes that left me gassed but feeling accomplished. It's been two days since I worked out with him and I'm being hit with the second day soreness. 5 stars and I'm coming back!

I have been working out at the gym and doing cardio since I was 18, however I never had the courage…read moreto workout with weights. Well that has changed because of Jason Marx. I have been trainging with Jason Marx for a year and half and he has pushed me and encouraged me to not only meet but exceed my fitness goals. In addition to lifting more weight than I ever thought I could, he has made me believe in myself, and have more confidence in myself. If there is a new weight workout he is going to show me I no longer say I can't do it I embrace it and make it happen! Jason cares about his clients not just for the time he is trainging you but he is constantly looking for ways to improve workouts and eating habits so we can continue to the next fitness level. He is always throwing new things into the workout so I don't plateau. If you are looking for a trainer you have to workout with Jason Marx at least once. I guarantee you won't want to workout with any other trainer after that!!

I've been training with Jason at 1119 Fitness for a little over a year and I can't say enough good…read morethings about him. He gives just the right amount of motivation and pointers--enough to push you without being annoying. He has a great sense of humor. And he accomodates my hectic schedule. I've had other trainers in the past, and witnessed many, and without doubt, Jason is one of the best around. The proof is in the pudding though: With just 1 or 2 workouts a week, I've dropped at least 15 pounds of fat and put on significant muscle mass. My flexibility is improved, as is my stamina. I came to him barely able to do a set of push ups, and now I can do them all day long. I'm 38, and feel better than I have since I was 10 years younger. I was a decent athlete when I was younger, but getting old is no joke (as is getting married and having kids), and I've fallen off over the past decade. Jason is a former athlete, and approaching middle age as well (sorry Jason), so I think he gets it. I've seen and worked with younger trainers who treat clients like olympic athletes, pushing too hard, and risking injury. I've also worked with trainers who've treated me like I've never seen the inside of a gym before, which is insulting. Jason is neither. With a session or two he figured out where I was and where I wanted to be, and has developed perfectly challenging sessions for me. Never the same one twice either. He trains men and women, a variety of shapes and ages, and all seem pleased. Do it!!!!

This is a true miracle story right here…read more For the past 4-5 years, I have been struggling to reverse my diagnosis of pre-diabetes. When I was first given this news 4-5 years ago in LA, my hemoglobin A1C level was 5.7. Though I was on the lower end of the spectrum, I still fought with fervor to drop this value. Of the 4-5 years, I had gone to the gym nearly every day, had an incredibly low carb, no added sugar diet that I followed religiously. I even had a personal trainer at the YMCA for about a year. Several months after working with my trainer at the Y I checked my blood again, and surprisingly my A1c went from 5.6 the year before to 5.9 (May 2016). Due to conflicts I had with an instructor at the Y, I decided to leave them and join at the JCC. Though I had a routine the JCC, offered a very enticing personal training package for new members. I decided to take a chance with it, and I have NEVER been happier. Mind you, before meeting Cam I was relatively fit, though my A1c levels were high my body fat % was 26.6; Lean Body Weight: 114.24 lbs; Body Fat Weight: 40.26 lbs. I met Cam in October 2016 and since then not only has my body fat decrease, my lean muscle mass increased but my hemoglobin level has dropped to an astounding 5.2 (April 2017). I should also mention that when I checked this value, I was 13 weeks pregnant (generally pregnancy ruins hemoglobin A1c levels, causes it to rise). Despite not changing my diet and only changing new routines that I had obtained during my monthly sometimes weekly sessions with Cam my A1c levels dropped within six months!!! It only took six months for Cam to help me change not only my physique but my physiological health! Now Cam is also ensuring the health of my future baby =). My husband and I are eternally grateful for meeting Cam and all the motivation and support he has provided me in these short six months. The last time we measured my body composition was in January of this year, and the results are as follows: Body Fat: 22.76 %; Lean Body Weight: 120.12 lbs and Body Fat Weight: 35.38 lbs Numbers don't lie and neither do lab tests.
