During that time, one of us may be in recovery mode from surgery. He manages to keep us all pushing our boundaries while being very informed on how not to re-injure ourselves. He makes it fun, it is different every week and he is very informed when we ask why we are doing a certain exercise. I personally think he is amazing and I'm very grateful he keeps me positive. If you are younger have no fear he will push you to get stronger and stronger...it's a talent to work with a wide range of abilities and do it well..that's Danny..... Ramona

Personal Trainer Katie has been helping me for 6 months. I have lost 40 lbs since. She established…read morea fitness plan for lifestyle change and helped critique my eating habits. She's easy to contact and answers my messages quickly. She has the tools, just commit to doing the work and you'll see great results. Realizing it's not a diet, but a lifestyle change takes some time. It gets easier about after 3 months. There is an escalation of the workout plan. I'm a heavier dude and concerned about my knees. Doing squats and deadlifts are two of the most important exercises for generating testosterone and solidifying your frame. For example, she started me out with just the bar and I gradually got up to maxing out at 315 lbs for the first time. My motivation is to walk on the beach with my shirt off and get down to 10% body fat. I was honest with her what I wanted and I'll keep up the hard work.

The floors are dirty, the machines are dirty and in dire need of maintenance, and the people up front couldnt give me a solid answer on their cleaning and maintenance process.

Apparently this is a problem that other members are dissatisfied with based on some of the other reviews here. If I could revoke my membership I would

I have been attending early morning spin classes at Studio E since it opened. They are the…read moreearliest classes you can take in Moraga [5:30 am]. The classes are small and that makes the difference for me - no huge sweaty rooms, no getting lost in the back row. Eileen is a terrific motivator and a great instructor. The bikes are brand new [as is everything] and the bike computers really keep you honest during your ride. I have not tried the other classes yet. The personal training is very reasonable as well. I highly recommend Studio E for spinning!

I have had two patient, yet challenging personal trainers, Eileen and Tommy. Changed my life and my weight! I really enjoy spin classes with Eileen. My favorite spin teacher is Wendy. See, I'm not a gym person, I'm an older person (HA!) and a bit overweight (HA!), and Wendy provides encouragement and warmth as well as challenge. Her music is good too. I actually look forward to going to spin class! A miracle.

Love F45! Excellent place to get fit and strong. Forget this getting weaker as you age. Heck no! If…read moreyou want to maintain and build muscle - go here. One thing I've noticed is if I'm not being pushed I don't work out as hard. But at F45 Moraga, the coaches will catch your eye and tap on the heavier weight and give you some encouragement to do better. So you do and you end up surprising yourself. Another thing they do is add exercises at the end of the sessions: 10 burpees followed by two laps running around the building or core work or stretching. It's a reasonable cost for a solid workout. Great value!

The bad: The classes are large, the music loud, and the routines are posted on screens which are…read moredifficult to see without my glasses on.

Holy moly, what an amazing facility and workout! FitLab has been around for several months, but…read moreI've only heard about it recently through ClassPass. With zero ratings / new on ClassPass, I decided to sign up to try it out anyways, and it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. Coincidently enough, one of my former fave OTF coach worked out here, so more of a reason to try FitLab! I signed up for their Hybrid Engine class (HYDOX / DEKA training, etc.) for Monday 6AM, but I wanted to see the facility before a full on class so I wouldn't feel as lost, so I then signed up for "open gym" the day prior. Got there a few mins before it started, and I met Coach/Trainer Larry. He was superb! Larry gave us a nice tour around the facility and described the various machines and stations. He also showed us the amenities- bar, sauna, cold plunge. Amazing! He gave us a nice workout that day as well, focusing on DEKA and we utilized a lot of the stuff- rowing machine, air bike, dumbbells, ski erg, weighted balls, ski pulls/pushes, and more. We also did some body weighted exercises and stretches, as well as some outdoor run up and down the hill. After the workout, he showed us some other stations, more focused on Spartan races. Wow, so strong and inspirational! I had an amazing intro, and was looking forward to the actual class the next morning. Next morning quickly approached, and I was ready for the workout! It was the Hybrid Engine workout, and we did a warmup, then we were divided into groups and were told which stations to rotate around. Nice HIIT style workout focusing on items re HYROX and DEKA. We did some of the machines, some farmer carries, RAM burpees, med ball throws, sandbags, and more. Great intro to a lot of the exercises, and I really enjoyed it. Ended the workout with some dynamic stretching, and I tried the sauna and cold plunge for the first time in my life. Full facilities- locker room, showers, toilets, etc. Shared, which is fine by me. Looking forward to signing up for more classes!

I gained strength, stamina, energy while losing pounds and Inches. While gumsaba focuses on adopting a healthy lifestyle and fitness regime, I can personally say I lost about 15 lbs and several sizes. But more importantly, I gained confidence, a great group of friends and a changed life. And I LOVE being outdoors and enjoying the scenery. Rainy days are the best! And no excuse not to work out - rain or shine! The coaches are awesome - always remember issues or past injuries and offer modifications. Michelle, the owner, is an expert and was born to do what she does. Brianna, another other coach, is the best!

Carolina is AWESOME. If you are confused and looking for a sign on whether to approach her as a…read morepersonal trainer, this is the sign- do it! I 'got busy with life' after having my baby, and waited a long time before contacting her. If I had only known how amazing she is, I would 1000% have reached out to her sooner! She is kind, motivating, extremely knowledgeable, super organized, and makes every workout so fun. She has a very holistic approach to personal training- really understands you as an individual, and helps you figure what works best for you physically, emotionally, mentally, dietarily within the constraints of daily life hustle and bustle.  I have never been a 'gym person' or an exercise person (I'm someone who would always choose an elevator over stairs, a brunch over a jog together, etc.), but I absolutely look forward to and LOVE meeting for our training sessions. She makes them so enjoyable, and I feel so energized from our workouts on the days we meet. Starting personal training with her is 100% the best decision I made in a long time. She understood and was respectful of my (basically zero) baseline, knew how to work on/with my knee/arm injury, and has helped me work through my postpartum body struggles and weaknesses. I have lost weight/inches, gained muscle tone, don't feel as tired in my daily life when climbing stairs or walking uphill, my skin feels way nicer, I can see the difference in my resting heart rate on my Apple Watch, and this is definitely the strongest I've ever felt.  I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a personal trainer. Thank you for being who you are, and for all you have done for me, Carolina!

As someone who approaches exercise with caution (accident and injury prone) she always listens to me and is ready to modify. As someone who battles a critical inner dialogue- I have found her style to be just the right amount of push and pull.

Our sessions go by so fast and she is always so present and a good listener. I am proud of the progress I have made working with her-such a great feeling- you should try it!
