Pamela is the best!! I trained with her for about 4 months from May - September before I moved from…read moreSF to NYC. She genuinely cares about her clients and takes the time to understand your goals, strengths, and limits. I came into our sessions already decently fit and athletic, but I knew I wanted to level up and she helped me do that. I dropped about 2% body fat while maintaining and developing muscle mass. Her approach to strength training also helped a lot in my endurance where I noticed major improvements in my running performance outside of our sessions. Her programming is thoughtful, challenging, and tailored. She strikes the perfect balance between pushing you and keeping things sustainable. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or have been training for years and want to level up, she's who you need to go to!!

I am so lucky I found Pamela! I purchased a package of four sessions thinking I might learn a few…read moregym moves as a postpartum beginner, but wow I got something so much more. I learned so much about nutrition, how to build lean muscle, and how to kick my sugar addiction. I felt so cared for and supported through the whole process, but also felt like Pamela kept me motivated in a positive way. I also was so daunted by working out in a gym with others around but Pamela has the ability to make you feel like you're the only person in the room. Fast forward just a few months and I feel like myself again. So many of my gym experiences have felt predatory in trying to upsell me more expensive sessions, but Pamela is a breath of fresh air and empowered me to learn as much as I could during my time with her. Her goal is to empower her clients with the confidence to own their own experiences and that is what makes her one in a million. If you are a postpartum mom in particular, Pamela is truly a unicorn.

Oh man where do I start!? I first started seeing Sergio when I was 23 (2 years ago). A few months…read moreago, when I found out I was chosen to compete in Donald Trump's Miss California USA pageant, I came straight back to Sergio! It is no small feat to get a body ready to walk on a stage in a swimsuit in front of hundreds of people and TV cameras, and some of the MOST critical judges, but Sergio welcomed it confidently. Sergio asks the right questions in order to perfectly understand your goals, and what you want to look like/feel like ultimately. For me, I wanted to be lean and toned. Results? I am now a size 0, and more toned than I've ever been- not to mention more stamina than ever. AND I still have 2 more months to perfect things before my pageant! Each training session is different and geared specifically toward you and what you want to achieve. For example, Sergio introduced me to boxing which I LOVE, so he adds that in at the end of my workout for some condensed cardio. If we start doing a specific exercise and it doesn't feel right to me, he will immediately substitute something better so that each exercise is productive. Just 2 months later and I have met all of my major goals by dropping fat, and gaining muscle tone. All of my measurements have decreased, as well as my weight and body fat percentage. I have referred several friends to him and they all had positive experiences as well. I can not recommend Sergio enough! He knows what he is doing and I have personally seen the results to back it up. If you have found him, YOU are the lucky one!! =)

Bailey is both professional and genuinely fun, creating a motivating and welcoming atmosphere. The people in the class are just as great--friendly, supportive, and a joy to work out with.

Training with Bailey has been fantastic -- he calibrates each session to push me one step further each time and knows how to make a session productive even when I'm injured or not at 100%.

It's incredibly exciting to see myself improve month to month both in terms of technique, new combinations, and greater strength, conditioning, and flexibility. He also makes sessions so much fun! Highly recommend!

Within a few sessions I had improved the range of motion in my neck (chronically tight) back and hips. After doing some groundwork with stability we are starting to move on to more strength. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and responsive. I had a few minor aches and pains in knees and foot, and while this is not physical therapy, they've been great about not exacerbating anything and those issues are starting clear up just by adding strength in the right places. I really can't believe how much better my body feels in just 2 months. The studio is clean and relatively small which is a good thing because this adds to a relaxing atmosphere - it's not jam-packed with people like other gyms. I cannot recommend enough!

I've enjoyed taking classes with Jenise, Cheyanne and Claudia... they definitely make sure you get a good work out, always push you, and always ask the class what they would like to work on, whether it be strength, arms leg-work, etc. I definitely feel like my body has gotten more toned and leaner since taking classes here. As others have mentioned the online booking system is great. The studio, though small, is clean and in a great location. I can usually find parking easily. Thanks OnPointe!

When I came to Alex for coaching last summer, I was a metabolic train wreck. Seriously. I had…read morerun myself into the ground dieting and training for my first NPC competition. And on top of that, I was in denial about my myriad of health problems. I was hell-bent on competing on the National stage immediately, regardless of my health issues. A few weeks into our competition programming, I was coming apart at the seams. With my health and my life unraveling, Alex helped me see the light and shift my focus away from aesthetics and back toward getting my health under control. Alex is the complete package in a Health Coach. She is level headed and calm (something I need as a super high-strung person) while amazingly constructive, motivating and inspiring. Her focus is always on the big picture of HEALTH. She thoroughly evaluates her clients to determine what they need most, and creates a realistic, functional plan around that. Her integrative coaching method is what makes her outstanding: she coaches around mindset, nutrition and training. That triple threat approach makes big life changes stick. She has encouraged me to reevaluate my goals in order to appropriately prioritize health. She keeps me honest when I to lie to myself about what's working and what isn't. She keeps me sane when negative self-talk seems all consuming. And most importantly, she keeps me healthy, so I can continue to live my life and enjoy every moment! After 6 months of coaching with Alex, I'm almost ready to step on stage again. She has taught me to be patient with progress, how to listen to and learn from my body, and how to be proactive (as opposed to reactive) about managing my health. She has fused my health and aesthetic goals into one holistic training plan. Whatever your goals, if you need a coach, Alex is your girl! If you want to see what she's about before you start a program, check out her podcasts on the BodyIO FM channel. Look for the HERBODY podcasts. You'll hear first hand just how knowledgeable and experienced she is! LOVE LOVE LOVE this coach!

During my pregnancy, it became a ritual for me to eat a pint of (organic) mint chocolate chip ice…read morecream....every night. To my surprise, I put on nearly half my weight! How'd that happen? I realized post pregnancy that eating whatever the hell I wanted "because I'm pregnant" was probably not a good idea. Insert Alex. About three months postpartum, I began working with Alex to restore my body to (hopefully) looking good again. I remember those first few sessions where doing one crunch was impossible and I remember thinking, I barely feel sore - just a little here and there....does Alex know what she is doing? Well, let me tell you how big of a mistake that thought process was. For the first time, I didn't have a trainer that wanted to kick my a$$ and make me unable to walk the next day. No, Alex, instead, is 1000 times better than that. She is so good at what she does that you don't really feel your a$$ being kicked, but it so is. Within a month, actually sometimes a week, I noticed my waist line dropping. I have no idea what she does and how she does it, but I HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER! I feel strong, I have those cool ab lines, don't even ask about my behind - it has never ever looked this good. As a thank you to Alex, I plan on tattooing "Alex Navarro Fitness" on my behind. JK, I will not do that, but I will continue to see her for (hopefully) ever. Another perk is how professional, but charismatic Alex is - it is always such a pleasure to see her. She answers all my nutrition and fitness questions and is so knowledgeable aside from being a superstar trainer!

I decided to quit my Equinox membership and give Jigalin Fitness a try. I'd spent the previous year…read morehearing rave reviews from two friends who were members. It was a great idea. I've been going seven months and I've already dropped about 25% of my body fat. That's with limited changes to my diet. Mike, Jen, and Danni are all fantastic...I wouldn't get out of bed that early for anyone else. :) Class size is pretty small, usually between 4-6 people, so you've always got someone checking your form and keeping you moving. Finally, the biggest reason I love this place: You don't have to think about anything. You just show up ready to work. The workouts are structured throughout the week/month so that while they're always TOUGH, they never get repetitive or boring. When you're going to a large chain gym, you're probably following some plan from the internet...and you've got no one to hold you accountable or alter the plan if you need something different. Here, you've got someone planning your workouts based on what the last one was and what the next one will be. You'll push a weighted sled down Lombard on Monday, Tuesday doing core work, and Wednesday will be tons of rowing...it's a blast. You'll struggle with a particular exercise one day, then not do it for a month and crush it the next go-around. This place is the best. I can't imagine going to another gym.

I feel like I'm in college and I look forward to every workout. Never thought I'd say that! Five years in - still at it 3x per week with my partner! Mike does great couples training.
