I joined Mint Condition Fitness about a year ago as a result of back pain and neck pain /…read morestiffness, as well other physical issues that was making me feel my age. Historically, I have had trouble starting and maintaining a strength training program due to my busy schedule and not really knowing what to do. Mint has been perfect for me due to the fact that I am on a set schedule and my trainer works with me to plan my workouts based on my physical needs. They rotate my plan every couple of weeks to ensure I am working my entire body. Since joining Mint Condition Fitness I have gained muscle mass, reduced fat, reduced my blood pressure, improved my cardiovascular performance, and most importantly improved how i feel overall. Anytime I have any kind of physical issue crops up, my trainer adjusts my program to help work through the issue and also make improvements to help improve my body in that area. I really can't say enough good things about Mint. The people are great, the environment is supportive, and it is a place I look forward to going to for every session. Best of all - the program works for me and has got me going to the gym.

I've been a part of Bay Club Courtside over the last 6mo's, and overall, I've been having a really…read moregreat experience. VIBE & AMBIANCE The space felt luxurious. It's a great spot for your classic gym work-out's, but also as a change in pace for those who work from home (there's a separate work space where you can also rent out private room). Noise level is typically lively. Parking in the main lot is difficult especially after work or at noon (during weekday's) and is generally packed during the weekend - of note, there's an alternative parking lot to the side of the main lot for Bay Club-specific parking (approximately 5min walk). SERVICE Service was friendly, overall, as you're typically greeted by those at the front desk, which is lovely. I'd say there is room for improvement for my tour/meeting with the membership director when I first looked at Bay Club Courtside, as it felt that my question's were more of annoyances and that he wanted the meeting to be over with sooner than later. STANDOUT DETAIL What stood out most to me was the overall atmosphere and vibe - it feels like I'm going on vacation to a resort everytime I enter (rather than a gym). I've never paid a monthly fee for a gym until now, and I'll say it's absolutely worth it! Overall, I'd highly recommend Bay Club Courtside!

I've been coming to SPENGA for about six months now, and I love it…read more Staff: They've built a real community at SPENGA. The staff are friendly and welcoming, from the front desk managers to each and every instructor. Each instructor has a different vibe -- and they're all great. From time to time, the studio runs different fitness challenges, which helps foster the community atmosphere. Atmosphere: The studio is set up into three different sections - one for spin, one for strength, and the other for yoga. The facilities are modern and very clean. It's nice! Classes: The signature Spenga workout is 60 minutes - 20 minutes of spin, 20 minutes of strength, and 20 minutes of yoga. The Spin classes ramp up in intensity based on your own performance over time through increasing your "sweet spot." This is nice because you can see how much you improve over time. After a SPENGA class, I feel like I've had a great workout and love that it ends in yoga. The mix of all three parts works so well for me. I'd gotten out of the habit of working out -life got busy. And SPENGA has been great for me to get back into the swing of things. I've gotten good results in terms of fat loss and physical performance. I can't wait to see what the next six months has in store. I'd absolutely recommend giving it a try if you are looking for a new fitness activity in Los Gatos.

Patrick is a one of a kind trainer. I'll start with that!! 5 STARS, HANDS DOWN!…read more I live in LA and was up for the week to visit my family. I was recommended to Los Gatos Strength and did my first session with Patrick in the am - and let me tell you, this was so much better than going to a regular gym. He's attentive and super hands on, exactly what most of us need to push ourselves to our fullest potential! Pat is a true fitness professional and really assesses what you need based on your goals, body type and strength. I highly recommend taking a session with him to try it out and then from there you'll make the best decision to sign up with LGS. You'll definitely feel and see the results if you stick with this type of training. I love that he holds you accountable which is so necessary of a trainer to all experience maximum results. Thanks, Patrick!

The studio is located right next to its sister studio, x2o studios. As a member of said studio, I…read morehave been taking advantage of the occasional complimentary classes offered (see x2o studios review for more details on pilates). With only 4 classes (and more counting) under my belt, I find x2o Elite as a compliment to my current workout regime. I do Pilates a minimum of 4x week and having been doing so in 3 years, I feel like I've plateaued even with the various styles of trainers. Enter x2o Elite. It's a circuit style workout formated at 50 minutes, 5 students, and 1 trainer which honestly, the optimal size for me. It can't get any bigger (maybe 1 more) given the cozy size of the studio. All trainers have a friendly approachable and KNOWLEDGABLE style and there are various offerings: HIIT & Burn, Lift & Burn, Sculpt & Strength utilizing a squat rack, treadmill, free weights, TRX, SKiERG, etc. I did notice that there are only so few 5lb and 10lb weight dumbbells because... I'm weak and if there's another weakling like me-we're competing for use. There's also a cool little sauna which I don't know if/ when we can use? More of an observation rather than a comment: unlike the other studio, you can no longer get any visibility on how many other students are in your class (I hate beign a loner aka focused on lol). There's a restroom in the back. tl:dr: solid weight training gym for those who need guidance/ correction but don't like to get focused on the entire time. They do offer 1:1 if that's something you're interested in. No classes on the weekends (for now). Bring your own water bottle, wear proper shoes, and come ready to WERK.

I wholeheartedly give Grace, the owner and manager at Pilates Suite, five bright shining stars. I…read morehave been training with Grace for six months. It is important that I cultivate the Pilates Habit! as I have some fragile bones in my hip, an issue with balance, and for sure poor posture from fifteen years of writing at my computer. I am now conscious of my posture while at the computer, practice expanding my breathing most every day and squeeze my core muscles when I am walking. I find Grace in be a daily presence in my life as she inspires me to practice what she is teaching.. Every time I work with Grace, she is positive, warm, and consistent in teaching exercises to help with my issues. Grace is a great teacher as she can key into what works to help you learn. I have found her to be an amazing Pilates teacher with physical therapy skills. Grace is 100% focused on delivering a service and does not push sessions on you. Each time I take home my list of exercise which help me in my practice. Due to the fact I have deadlines on my book, she has been flexible with my Pilates schedule. Grace is skilled at adding in just enough to improve my routine but does not overdo it. I think Grace is one of the best Pilates teachers in the area and my MD is thrilled I'm making progress with the pain issues. I overdid it weight lifting but am now back to normal thanks to Grace!! The final benefit of working with Grace is that you get to work in a private room and can focus because there aren't other people around. If you are looking for a great instructor contact Grace for some fabulous training. You want an instructor who can help you develop the Pilates habit as you want to make it part of your daily life. You will Feel better and LOOK! better too!! Thanks Gracie for being the talented, wonderful, and inspiring teacher you are. Patrice!
