Facility is nice and quiet and equipments are well maintained. There's always parking in the plaza. Bathroom and water stations are inside the plaza, which are private and well kept. I was able to train with Julian. I highly recommend Julian as a personal trainer. He's professional and supportive with your time and goals. He was able to work with my availability and kept me accountable for my goals. As a trainer, he would cheer me on for just pushing myself a little more each time. I was able to gained more strength and have a healthier mindset after training a few months with him.

I started working with Julian at Pushnweights to be more consistent in my training and meet my…read morefitness goals. I was also starting to worry about lower back pain during my workouts. Since starting to train with Julian I've steadily gained muscle, moved further toward my goals, and pain isn't an issue. I appreciate that Julian takes the routine out of warm-up and workout, making a concerted effort to mix things up each time we meet. Important to me in finding a Trainer was someone who would pass the 'airport test'. I spend at least 3 hours a week with Julian - he's a smart and fun guy, passionate about what he does, thoughtful in his approach, and genuinely interested and invested in his clients. As a small business owner, Julian operates with high integrity. I highly-recommend Pushnweights to help you meet your health and fitness goals.

I've been training with Brett for almost two years and he is genuinely the best trainer I've ever…read moreworked with. I've hit PRs across every lift, gotten stronger, leaned out, and yes, I have visible abs now (not a full 6-pack, but absolutely a proud 2-4 pack situation). He knows what he's doing, smart programming, clean form coaching, and he pushes me without EVER risking injury. He's consistent, present, and actually cares. He used to train at Equinox and you can tell, the skill level, attention to detail, and professionalism are just different. If you want real results (not just someone counting reps), stop messing around, and go to Brett.

I have been in and of out gyms, HIIT courses, 13 different types of diets - and always struggled to…read morenot just lose the weight - but truly become fit while committing to any routine. Then I met Brett, who taught me about the importance of mobility and worked we me on how to fall in love with strength training. I was from dreading every activity and diet to struggling to spend a day without it. Now, 70 lbs lighter, doesn't even scratch the surface of what I have accomplished. I am lighter, happier, stronger mentally and physically, enjoy the outdoors longer and recover better than ever. Brett taught me to commit to my fitness and unlocked the best of me hidden inside. And I still look forward to every new milestone. Do yourself a favor and just go for it, stop buying into the reasons you aren't committing. You got this!

We stumbled upon Daniel for duets strength training. My friend and I are both postpartum mamas and…read morewere excited to work with someone who was located close to us. Unfortunately, he was not the best fit for us. We felt he was not able to properly assess our capabilities for working out. When we commented that some of the workouts were advanced for us, he ended up laughing us off. Our final session with him, I did a pull up exercise and ended up pulling a lat muscle. He did try to help stretch it out but there was no follow up the next day. If you're a postpartum mama looking for support, I suggest finding another fit. He might push you way past your limits and us mamas can't be injured when we have little ones to care for.

As my neck has healed, he has helped me find ways to get a balanced workout and push myself. As I tried to find a way to healthier eating he also helped me set goals and make practical plans to eat better. And I am! He checks on me and keeps me accountable and motivated. In general he's really knowledgeable and has a great coaching style. Finally I can tell how hard he works to meet his clients where they are and work around their schedules. He works so hard I'm surprised he has time to work out himself as well. I truly love working with Jeffrey and it almost makes me love working out. At least I can say I really enjoy it now.

I have been doing strength training weekly with Jeffrey and can see and feel the results from our workouts.

I discussed how this could change our training, fearing that he would be unable to train me anymore. But that was not the case! I continues to train with Elias until 1 week before having my son. I am thankful for an understanding and concerned trainer. He adjusted the weighs and circuits as I progressed through my pregnancy. I recovered so quickly after this baby in comparison to the other two. I felt stronger throughout. I'm training again and feeling great. In conclusion, I recommend Elias and TLS 10/10

Until you feel confident in your form and have some knowledge it's easy to give up and feel like you have no clue what you're doing. Coming to PSG I didn't know what to expect, after my first session with Eli I was hooked. And SO excited to continue my fitness journey with him. I've been coming for roughly 3 months and it blows my mind the progress I have made with his help. He is very personable and makes you feel comfortable instantly which is KEY. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to fitness and nutrition. I'm so glad I bit the bullet and decided to commit to this because it has changed my life for the better!

I've been weight lifting for several years, but recently decided to try out Crossfit. At one of…read moremy first Crossfit sessions, my friends and I were struggling with proper technique for an Olympic lift, when James came over and started helping us out. It became pretty clear that teaching yourself Olympic lifts is an easy way to get hurt. We hired James to help us improve our technique. After hiring him, our form improved and we learned a ton about Crossfit technique/culture/nutrition. James is extremely affable and he knows his stuff. It's clear he loves what he is doing, and I definitely recommend him as a trainer.

I agree with what everyone else has said in the previous reviews. James is not only a spectacular…read moretrainer who pushes you to your limits, believes in each of his clients, is knowledgeable in his field of health and fitness, but is also a great friend who cares and has a big heart. James has really pushed me to reach goals that I didn't even realize I could reach. I am definitely stronger because of him in all domains - mind, body, and spirit. I could be in the worst mood and somehow, the workouts with James, sheds away the funk and I feel completely better by the end of the workout and proud of what I have accomplished. I have not only gained physically strength but am also more confident about myself and my capabilities. Whatever your goals are, James will help you get there.

1. What is the "Sports Palace" 2. Jim Schmitz, the legend…read more3. My story (1) "The Sports Palace" is the bay area's original [Olympic] Weightlifting gym hidden away in the basement of a bodybuilding gym in South San Francisco. A true hidden gem! Over the several years of training here, we've been visited by professional athletes, weightlifting royalty (athletes and coaches), and visitors from around the world; if only just to mingle with Coach Jim Schmitz and train in the most complete and original curation of weightlifting history. And of course with the best equipment: ELEIKO... everything!... barbells, plates (discs), etc. Even some custom fabricated equipment. Just be prepared to count in kilograms [it's easier... trust me]. (2) Jim, as you may have read from other reviews... is a decorated Olympic and National Coach. Yes. He coached in the Olympics for Team USA (1980, 1982, & 1988). He's kind of a big deal; but you'd never know it. He's very down to earth, and loves sharing stories of his escapades and adventures over the years (between sets, as long as you're working hard). He knows how to read a room and is full of corny jokes which will keep you entertained while you're focused on training. He also wrote for MILO magazine for a period of time and consulted/held positions with USA Weightlifting and the International Weightlifting Federation. (3) I originally sought his coaching after several years of "recreational weight training" using prescribed workouts from my collegiate days. I always thought I was "in-some-kind-of-shape." Boy was I wrong. I couldn't overhead squat a broom stick on my first day; let alone snatch a barbell. My posture was terrible, I had zero joint stability, and was less flexible than I thought I was, or should have been. Jim assured me that with consistent effort (and personalized drills) results would eventually come. Just... try not to get a new exercise named after you... (inside joke). A year later, I snatched OVER my bodyweight; AT FULL DEPTH (see pictures). My posture is the best it's ever been [despite working in a lab and at a desk], and I still train today (albeit remotely, due to relocating). Jim for a while trained my fiancée too, and we invited him to our wedding! [TLDR] Seeing people lift heavy weights overhead may look and sound intimidating, but the people here are really the friendliest and most dedicated individuals you'll meet. Complete novices to international champs, all are welcome. Lifting heavier, and heavier is truly intoxicating. Come by to watch, have a chat with Jim, train, get strong.

Lifting with Jim is always a great time, and there's a super supportive community as well. It's a…read morewelcoming and friendly environment for both new and experienced lifters. I trained with him for four years when I was in high school, and recently visited again while I was in town for the holidays, and I immediately felt at home again! The equipment is top notch (all the bars are eleiko) and Jim is very experienced. He's coached a number of Olympic athletes and this is one of the oldest weightlifting clubs in the world. Another plus is that there are lots of great options around for food after your workout.
