I've been working with Mark Bransky in Pleasanton since March 2025 and couldn't be happier. I just…read morerenewed my subscription because the results speak for themselves. Mark is excellent at explaining both the theory and practice, so you actually understand what you're doing and how to do it properly. The gym is very well equipped, always clean, and has everything you need for serious and focused training. Mark creates a relaxed but professional atmosphere, and he's easy to work with, always adjusting the sessions to fit where you are and what you need to work on. Since starting with him, I've seen solid gains in strength and technique, and I feel much more confident with every workout. If you want a personal trainer who's knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping you improve, Mark is the guy to see.

Even though Mark's services weren't specifically what I was looking for, he went above and beyond…read moreto help me find a gym that did suit my needs. If he's willing to be that helpful with someone who isn't even paying him, I can only imagine how well he treats his actual clients. Thanks a million, Mark. Should I hear of anyone who needs a personal trainer, I'll make sure to send em your way.

I love the group classes with Melissa. I've been attending for a few years now and always look…read moreforward to the fun, exercise and challenge. I feel stronger, more flexible and healthier knowing that I started my day with a workout. Melissa's classes are made for everyone; she adapts each exercise for all the levels represented in class. The 50 minute workouts are the prefect length and include a full body workout with weights, resistance, cardio, etc. Each day is a little different and challenges me in a new way. I actually look forward to working out. Something I never thought I'd make a priority is now something I look forward to and plan on doing for a LONG time! As we age, the importance of movement, flexibility, weight resistance training becomes even more important! Thank you Melissa and Tri Valley trainer for keeping me healthy!

I've been going to Tri Valley Trainer for 6+ years. It's how I start my day. No matter how tired I…read moream I get up to go to to class with Melissa and I've never regretted it. Last year I injured my back and could barely move for 4 months. After trying everything from physical therapy, chiropractic therapy, cryotherapy, acupuncture, massage therapy, nothing really helped. I did some personal training with MelIssa and she got me back on my feet. Today although I still suffer from my injury, I'm back in class 4 to 5 days a week. Although I don't do exactly what everyone else is doing, Melissa takes extra care to make sure I'm still strength training but protecting my back. I recommend Melissa and Dan to anyone who wants to get in shape and stay healthy.

I was new to the East Bay Area looking for a personal trainer. A friend recommended me to check out…read moreFC50 with Peter. Have a 60 min consult with Peter where he got to know what I was looking for a fitness goal, preferences and then we did some movements to see what my range was. Let me tell you! That 60 min with light movement got me sweating! Let me tell you I work over regularly 6-7 days a week doing orange theory but was at a plateau. So I thought if I can get a sweat in a light 60 min what would a full training session be. I started in May 2024 with Peter being my personal trainer having 2 sessions a week. From then I could tell my was leaner from May 2024 to Oct 2024. So happy I joined and continue my training session, where Peter pushes me to whether it's more reps, heavier weights or new exercises. As I tell Peter my training sessions are my therapy and I know each time I go I get the best workout. Note it's not cardio like running. Sometimes it just your body weight and correct form with different angles. You get what you put in. Try and you won't regret it. I know I don't.

Let me preface this by saying this review is based on my experience only…read more This business did something really shady in my opinion, randomly charged my card for $1,890 after I completed my "contract term," and didn't even have the audacity to reply to my email with an explanation or apology or anything. Thankfully my credit card company offered protection against fraudulent charges and I changed my card number since this place kept my credit card info on file. I wanted to support an Asian American owned business, which is what led me to FC50. I was a bit surprised they did no written contract, everything was oral, and they took my credit card info in their phone and saved it. I agreed to a 3 month term and paid for the first month up front on or around Sep. 10th ($720) for September's sessions. The training sessions itself confused me a bit. I thought with personal training, your personal trainer is supposed to tell you what to do and keep track of your progress. My personal trainer often asked me what did we do last time? Or what do I want to work on today. That made the personal training session 'less personal' in my opinion. He did teach me proper form on various exercises, so that was a positive that I took from my experience with this business. They charged my card for October sessions ($630) on or around Sep. 27th (I thought he had told me my billing cycles would be around the beginning of the month - but whatever). I had to travel overseas in November so we skipped that month. They did charge my card on around Nov. 19th for December's training sessions ($630) but did refund $180 after I asked for a refund because the amount of sessions I was doing in Dec did not add up to $630 (albeit it took them approximately 3 weeks to send the refund). At this point, I didn't enjoy my personal training at this place anymore, so I just skipped all my December sessions but still paid for all of them. I decided after I finished the 3 month term, I did not want to renew here and left it at that. Then suddenly on or around Jan. 28th, I received a credit charge alert that this business charged my credit card on file for $1,890. Why would they do that when I've never even paid that much for monthly sessions? I emailed them, no response. So I handled the fraudulent charge through my credit card company. To this day, still no idea why they did that, and no explanation or apology from them either. 0 Stars.

It is the most amazing experience I ever had with a trainer. He knows his stuff so much because he was a body builder himself and is still super fit. His knowledge, experience, expertise is amazing. I'm so excited I started this journey. I'm excited to see what happens in 2024. I've been doing workouts I never in a million years thought I could do. My hour session goes so fast it's ridiculous. I'm so excited for my next session already. He's trained so many amazing people. Look at these photos. Wow. He truly has a gift.

This place is well worth every penny and I wish I had signed up with John sooner. He has years of experience in this industry and is himself a competitive bodybuilder whom I had the pleasure to hang out with backstage at the Sac show as he won unanimous first place in his class. The workouts he prepares for me are fun and forever changing so I never get bored, he is professional and ALWAYS on time, enthusiastic, genuinely cares for my well-being and success, and most importantly....MOTIVATING.

Decided to get serious about it and signed up with AbdAllah for a single personal training session. After the first session with AbdAllah, I already felt better! Signed up for a month of sessions, one time a week, and then decided to go to two times a week. Now I'm about 18 sessions in and feel and look so much better. My clothes fit better, hiking and walking upstairs is so much easier, and I have more energy. I highly recommend AbdAllah for all ages as well as for both men and women. He not only creates amazing work outs but also helps you with eating plans, nutrition, and mental attitude. He really cares about your progress. Best of all, you'll see results fast which keeps you motivated.

Having a trainer who designs a program designed specifically for your goals and where you're at is well worth it. The workouts are different and interesting and I've gotten so much stronger in the last few months. He breaks everything down in a way that makes sense to me so I understand what I'm doing so I can maximize results. We revamped my diet to help with fat loss and build sustainable habits. Highly recommend, it's such a great investment in yourself and your health and wellness.
