Where do I start, this P4L gym is amazing! I've been to this location a few times and would rate my experience 5 stars each visit. Clean bathrooms, sanitized equipment, and new weights! Awesome energy and knowledgable trainers ~ they are extremely eager to help and will take time to teach you fundamentals if you've never seen the exercise before. They take time to listen and understand what you are striving for ~ WILL help you meet and exceed your goals, while having fun! The classes are the right amount of intensity for everyone, and you'll love the workout supersets. I'll be back again, next time I choose the music! THANK YOU COACH DAN! read more

Perform For Life - BIRD DOG ROWS!!! STABILITY, CORE, BACK WORK. ALL THE FUN! - Gyms Near Me - San Francisco, California

So much love and gratitude for this gym, I don't even know where to begin! I've been going to Perform For Life for about a year now and it's the best decision I ever made. When I first started my fitness journey, I was really discouraged. I failed high school PE (haha), and only ever did cardio for exercise so the idea of lifting weights and strength training was foreign to me. The moment I walked into Perform For Life, that intimidation feeling I always get when I walk into a gym immediately went away. The atmosphere here is so positive! All of the coaches here are super welcoming, supportive, and knowledgeable. It really feels like a tight knit community when you come in. The biggest thanks for my new found confidence in myself, and love for lifting weights and working out goes to my Coach Kris Gallimore. I was first paired with him based on my specific goals and his experience previously training tactical athletes. He's patient, encouraging, super informative, and most of all so genuine and makes working out so much fun and enjoyable. The programs he's put together for my goals are top-notch, and we do so much different variety of workouts each session. Every session I feel challenged, and so proud of myself for accomplishing something I did not even know I was capable of. My most recent accomplishment was 30 inch box jumps!! I can't say thank you enough to him for encouraging me to challenge myself both mentally and physically every session. Seriously, I could rave about him for hours. They also have small group classes that's taught by amazing coaches to supplement the work you are doing with your coach 1:1. These classes are capped at about 5 people so you still have that intimate community feeling. Any fitness goals that you have, Perform For Life can get you there. They will help you meet, and exceed your own expectations that you did not even know you were capable of. read more

After over 20 years of chronic pain, 24/7 pain that made both sleep and work hard, I am thrilled to say I am now pain free most of the time! While I cannot attribute all of this to Jacob Albritton, he deserves the lion's share of the credit. When I began working with Perform For Life, the founder Bryant did an involved initial exploratory where we dug into all of my pain areas, misalignments, muscle weaknesses, and goals. He and Jacob then developed a terrific plan for me. Within a month I noticed a reduction in pain, and now, several months of once-a-week training later, I am significantly stronger, toned, and my core is more balanced and stable. I am SO thrilled with my body, strength to throw my 4-year-old around, and lack of pain. I'm sleeping better, have more energy, and, may I mention again, SO MUCH LESS PAIN. As a side note, we've been doing virtual sessions since shelter-in-place mandate began, and Jacob crushes these sessions. I don't know how he manages to kick my ass so hard each week given that I'm in my living room with very limited equipment, but he manages it beautifully. I cannot recommend PFL more highly, both the gorgeous gym or in the comfort of your own home. read more

What started out as a mere new years resolution in 2019 has transformed into a new way of life that I enjoy, and going to the gym is actually something I look forward to. That is all thanks to Mimi! Starting from my first session with her, I've grown stronger and more conscious of my body's capabilities. I have been training with Mimi every week for almost a year now and somehow she hasn't repeated a single workout move - yes, she's that creative! The exercises are fun yet challenging to the point where there is noticeable, steady progress--sometimes within a session or two. She is very mindful of my limitations but also motivates me to push myself. What I appreciate is how much thought she puts into her workouts. I first started with body weight workouts, and when she felt I was ready to start lifting (even though I was doubting my own strength!), she slowly started to incorporate weights into the routine. It really showed me that she is paying attention and is always actively thinking about new exercises to help move me toward my goals. One of the really impressive things about working with Mimi is that she actually gives you workouts that she herself has done, so she knows exactly which muscles are being activated and where you'll be sore the next day. It gives our sessions a more "we're in this together" vibe. There were a few sessions where she actually did the sets with me - she's a beast so she's a great motivator to keep pushing through! She and I have also discussed eating habits in conjunction with a healthy gym life. She never sets any unrealistic expectations for me (stress eats are real and I was in school for most of the last year), yet at the same time ensures that I'm still pushing myself. Mimi really is a one-of-a-kind trainer and if you're looking for someone who is knowledgable, excited about what she does, and cares about her clients actually progressing and reaching their goals, she will not disappoint! read more

I am not an athlete or even a weekend warrior. Just a woman who wants to get her workouts and strength training in each week while juggling work and being a single Mom. P4L is great for my needs too. LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION - the new FiDi location is brand new and centrally located on Mission Street, close to the Montgomery subway stop. I started at the mid-Market location (also great) and followed my trainer, Becca to FiDi when it opened up this month. GREAT ATMOSPHERE - the vibe at all three locations really is friendly, supportive, knowledgeable, and non-judgmental. The staff seems to genuinely like each other too and the management fosters a family feel amongst both the staff and clients. GREAT CLIENT FOCUS - I received two check-in calls from the owners when I first started which was unexpected and appreciated. When I had a billing issue when my account was initially set up, I texted the owner and it was immediately resolved - even though it was late in the evening. My trainer is proactive with scheduling and found me a sub when needed so there's continuity in training. COACH BECCA IS AWESOME - After an initial onsite intake that involved a discussion of my online questionnaire (goals etc.) and my performing some light exercises and movements, I was paired with my trainer Becca. Becca is a petite powerhouse who does competitive weightlifting and brings that expertise to our trainings. She's smart and informative, is a sweet, personable, genuine person, motivating, and appropriately pushes me to do more. Our sessions are always different. Sometime I whine, she tunes it out and pushes me harder. She adapts our session to how my body is feeling that day. And she's focused on you - she's not distracted or engaging in conversation with other trainers during our session. That I appreciate. The classes book up quickly so you have to be a planner and book (online) a week or more ahead - the good news is that they are small classes with just a few people and included in your training package. Overall, a very happy - and healthy - decision to join P4L! read more

I highly recommend this place. The facility is very clean and the equipment is top-notch. But most of all, the trainers are the best part. I trained with RJ who is amazingly supportive and knowledgeable about fitness. His energy and personality pushes me every time to get the most out of the workouts. He helped me breakdown difficult exercises and helped me build my way up to the correct form. His workouts always push me to my limits but at the same time he's always attentive and making sure that I'm pushing my limits safely. I highly recommend RJ to anyone looking for a trainer to achieve any fitness goal. read more

I've been taking the virtual group classes since SF's Shelter-in-Place mandate in March. The trainers are on video customizing each class and if you decide to turn on your video, they'll provide feedback to participants to make sure the workouts are done properly and effectively (I'd say it's about 50% people with video on). It's so nice to have someone there motivating me! They have 5:30 pm Strength & Mobility classes which are great after working on the computer all day. My go-to's are Jacob's Monday and Tuesday Strength & Mobility, Mimi's Wednesday HIIT class, and on the weekend Garrett's Saturday HIIT and Tony's Sunday Flexin & Stretchin classes. I highly recommend these online classes - it's easy to sign up on MINDBODY, and you can do them from anywhere! read more

If you're looking for a trainer to help you reach your fitness goals, Mianni (aka Mimi) is the way to go! Hands down! Not only is she extremely knowledgable BUT she always provides an immense amount of support to push you when needed--Not to mention, she's a JOY to be around! you definitely won't be disappointed. read more

I've been going to Perform For Life for over half a year and can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. It all started with a desire to change my physique and get into the best shape of my life. I emailed many personal trainers in SF and P4L literally contacted me the same day. My initial assessment was with Coach Brandon. He patiently and thoughtfully answered all my questions about their services and explained how P4L could be a good fit. He related to my desires to get fit while remaining active with activities I enjoy such as snowboarding, climbing, and volleyball. After some initial scheduling hiccups (totally my fault - they were extremely accommodating to my schedule) I was set up with Coach Randy and honestly I am very happy with him. Happy enough to move from the Hayes Valley location with him to the new FiDi one. We meet about twice a week depending on my work schedule and he works me harder than I've ever worked before. He tests my limits in a safe and controlled way where I don't get injured. I have a shoulder injury from a previous surgery but he customizes my workout regiment around that. He's gone above the call of duty in recommending me nutritional supplements and other tips to help me achieve my fitness goals. Every session consists of a workout plan that he adjusts on the fly depending on how my body feels that day. I'd like to get into heavier lifting but since I'm a relative noob he's been focusing a lot on fundamentals to get my form and body prepped for the more difficult exercises. He's always fully engaged during the session, spotting me when I lift heavy. He even whips out the massage gun to loosen my muscles if they're sore. I always enjoy our conversations and he seems to genuinely care about me not just as a client but as a person. In addition to Randy several of the other trainers as well as owners Bryant and Justine have gone out of their way to introduce themselves and say hi to me when they are in the gym. Overall it seems like a friendly community. Of course, nothing is perfect. Sessions are very expensive, so I've had to sacrifice in other areas to afford them. You can either pay per session or buy a package which gives access to semi private training classes. The gym gets quite busy depending on your appointment time but everyone's respectful about sharing space. Also highly recommend seeking out Dr. Krystal for chiropractic sessions at their affiliated Ascent Sports Chiropractic. She's extremely knowledgeable and friendly and I feel like her services have helped a lot. Overall, quite happy to be a part of the P4L family and would encourage others to check it out as well! read more

Even during a pandemic, Randy continues to work hard, making sure his clients get what they need to stay sane during this crazy tough time. Randy listens, trains clients respectfully by conducting virtual workouts using at home equipment. His creativity has brought sweat and smiles. For me, Randy meets me at Kezar. We begin with warmups in the bleachers. He stands a few rows up and shouts orders (like a coach!). I then go on the track and try to hit the times that he has carefully planned by studying my aerobic and anaerobic zones. We leave the track together with workout bands, disinfectant wipes and a feeling of accomplishment. Randy himself has been an inspiration. He continues to challenge himself with time trials and we all came out to support him at his finish line. Beyond Randy, perform for life posts updates for a safe reopening, respecting city guidelines. When I couldn't find weights to buy, Brandon stepped in to lend me a few until the gym reopens. I am thankful for perform for life for keeping the endorphins alive in me during a dark time. read more

Perform For Life - Randy PR'ing after his half marathon time trial. Social distance support! - Gyms Near Me - San Francisco, California

I would highly recommend this place. I enjoy training with Jacob. He's professional, patient, friendly, and always encouraging. He's very good at helping me find my own workout pace. The programs he designed are very goal oriented. And he's been constantly measuring my progress and adjust the intensity of the workout. read more

I wanted to commend Mimi for her energy and consistency throughout my virtual training experience so far. As hard as it is to stay motivated, her willingness to keep encouraging me is very much appreciated. She is knowledgeable and has been giving me workouts that target areas pertaining to my fitness goals. I have already seen improvement in some of my problem areas, which is extremely exciting. There are some exercises I have never tried before which makes me look forward to our workouts. She goes out of her way to keep me accountable and make our workouts fun. She honestly makes the perfect trainer. 10/10 recommend! Thank you Mimi for your organization, consistency, support and energy. As a former athlete trying to bounce back, you have been my motivation to get my health back on track. I am excited to keep working with you throughout the year. read more

I got nothing but love for the P4L Fam! It was my first time ever doing personal training, and I'm glad I put my trust in them. From consultation, to my first day of training, to the small group classes, I've learned so much about fitness and my own body during this process. I don't know about you, but I've definitely walked into many gyms feeling intimidated and scared to ask questions about how to use machines or how to work out. But at P4L, they've created such a welcoming and friendly culture where you can just keep asking questions and learn about fitness that you can take with you years after. Bryant and Justine are super friendly, and they genuinely care about everyone who walks through those doors, which is why the culture matches exactly that. The coaches and staff are skilled, very knowledgeable, and know how to adapt the program to match your goals. Shoutout to Brandon who manages the FiDi location. I trained with him for a year and a half and he's helped me work on my flexibility, balance, agility, as well as core strength since my goal for personal training was to get better at hiphop dance. I also really like how we can talk about all the new hiphop albums dropping, and basketball. read more

I have been going to P4L for many years attending their small group classes. These classes have been a major part of my fitness regime. I really enjoy them especially because of the first-rate instructors. However, I decided to elevate my fitness goals and start weekly 1:1 training with Jacob Albritton this past February. It's been an absolute success and as they say the "the proof is in the pudding" ... I have lost over 15 pounds, increased my muscle mass, and lowered my % body fat to name just a few successes. This is all due to the personal programs that Jacob has crafted for me. His attention to detail is second to none which has helped make these results a reality. Jacob also focuses on the importance of diet, sleep, and emotional well-being. I'm excited to see all the progress that is yet to come. Thank you, Jacob and the entire P4L family! read more

Absolutely amazing! The trainers are friendly, professional, and really know their stuff. This isn't a huge gym with a high turnover of barely-qualified trainers trying to get you to sign up for a lot of lessons up front, this is a place where the trainers are extremely qualified and focused on long-term results. I have lost 8 pounds of fat and gained 4 pounds of muscle in the last 5 months (verified by a series of InBody composition readings) which for my age and build is absolutely fantastic! What's more I really enjoy going to the gym now. I have lots of gym experience but I never really looked forward to it until now. If you're serious about fitness or body transformation I don't think you can do better than Perform for Life. My trainer is Kris Gallimore and he's amazing, but honestly I've been impressed by what I've seen from every trainer here (there are zero other gyms I've trained at I could say that about). read more

This is a really fantastic gym. The staff are really knowledgeable, engaging, and fun. The actual space is all new, with great equipment. The location is also unbelievably convenient for people that work downtown. I'd definitely recommend this gym. 10/5 read more

Love this new location of P4L! Super convenient for me to workout and shower before work in Fidi. A few things make a gym some place you actually look forward to visiting. The people, the program, and the space make P4L a really great gym experience. The staff, coaches here all build a great, positive vibe. They are approachable, knowledgeable, encouraging and nice. I love that the coaches and trainers really take ownership in making sure things are the best they can (equipment, experience, etc.). The owners, coaches and staff I've never even formally met knew my name when I am in the gym and were eager to make sure I was having a good experience. They ask for feedback (formal and informal) consistently. Love this gym space itself -- beautiful and clean. Gotta love that exposed brick! The equipment is all new and beautiful. The team is so good about cleaning and wiping things down (nothing sucks more than getting on a mat that reeks of everyone else's sweat). I do 1:1 with Randy and he is awesome! Squat PR's and a 5-minute PR on my last half marathon while training with him. He is thoughtful about the exercises I do, tailored to my needs as a runner, and my particular weaknesses in mobility and imbalances. I love that he's a runner himself and totally "gets it". We get more in to every hour session than I'd ever be able to do on my own. I'm left sweaty and tired, but feeling great. read more

I used to visit Perform For Life in Mission Castro before their newest location opened up in the FiDi. It's a must easier commute from where I live, and I enjoyed training with Brandon. He definitely pushes me enough, and we sculpt our twice weekly meetings around the physique I'm going for (think young twenties 1980's beach volleyball semi-pro). When this shelter in place happened, I'd resigned myself to basic squats and dog walks in my neighborhood, unsure of what my summer body would look like. But the lovely staff at P4L actually have me a ring a few weeks ago, informing me of the online classes they have. Definitely took some getting used to, but I'm blown away at how comfortable I quickly became. Getting back into shape, and loving the results. read more

This review is for Mianni (aka Mimi)! When I did my first assessment with Brandon, I requested a trainer who is funny and can keep me motivated during tough moments. Mimi did that and more! She helped me lose 3% body fat and gain almost 3 lbs on muscles in a month. I'm still working on my beach body but I have no doubt I'll get there before summer at this rate. read more

I want to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Performance for Life / Performance for Golf Facility and trainer Angus Lee! I have been playing competitive sports since I was very young; playing softball for a Big Ten School was a highlight. I do wish they had more training involved in sports when I was involved as it would have saved some major injuries. I have now switched to golf over the last few years and with the time I have to devote to the sport I feel I have accomplished a lot. I work out a lot and I feel I am in decent shape; but I decided to google something close to my office that could offer me a program to help improve my golf game through fitness. As we age golf is hard on the body and knowing what you can do to help this process, I feel is key. I found Performance for Life / Performance for Golf! I went to the initial assessment, and they worked with you on the weakness you can key in on that would help your golf game. I have now been with Performance for Golf for the last 3 months and working with Angus Lee has improved my game and I have not even been able to play because of the rain. The few times I have been able to play I can tell I make a better connection with the ball; and it has made a 1 club difference. Angus pays attention to what is going on with your body and will adjust each week to help you make improvements on the course. We work a lot of rotation and staying down on the swing. (This is all done without a golf club and then when I have been on the course, I feel I have the motion needed to make the proper connection.) Everyone at the FiDi facility is very welcoming and the facility is very clean and convenient to get to. I truly feel this has not only helped me with my golf game in a short amount of time but also for the Game of Life! Liz Frome read more

P4L is a beautiful facility to come in and train at. Although I could go on about how nice and well kept this gym is I would like to shoutout one of the trainers Mimi!! Having met Mimi she was super informative and on top of her game. She really understands her craft (fitness) and is able/willing to help out in a lot of different ways. She has really helped motivate me and further my knowledge on fitness. Keeping it fun and professional she really knows what she's doing!!! If you're looking to get your body right or improve your performance Mimi is definitely someone you should check out. read more

My roommate convinced me to go to a gym for the first time in my (adult) life and this place is amazing! Scott is incredible! He was motivating and knowledgeable. His HIIT class made me want to die, but in a great way. I can't recommend this place enough, and if you're looking for a great personal trainer, look no further than Scott! Their group classes are amazing too, for beginners (aka me) or more advanced (aka Wonder Woman, known as my roommate) read more

I've been working out with Coach Mimi for about two months and have already seen a noticeable difference in my strength and all around energy. I had a baby a year ago and trying to get back in shape on my own just wasn't happening. From the beginning, Coach Mimi worked with me to rebuild my confidence and stamina. Highly recommend her and P4L! read more

I love this gym. I have a super busy work schedule but plan diligently around semi-private sessions only (small group isn't my thing) and love the personalized attention you get. Fitness SF and Equinox got too crowded, and I had heard amazing things about P4L. All the coaches at P4L are great, but my two faves are Randy at FiDi who is incredibly informative throughout, and Dan at the Hayes Valley location. They're great with instruction and general coaching, either correcting my form when needed, positive reinforcement when I'm doing something right, or nicely nudging me when I'm slacking. I enjoy the workouts they put together - general flow of the workouts are great, and neither have made me do burpees... yet :) Equally important, they have good, positive energy, relaxed but engaged energy. I don't train as much with them due to location/scheduling, but shout out to Jon and Amber at the Hayes Valley location too. The new FiDi location is sooo close to my office and super cute with exposed brick walls and plants. Everything feels extra clean and super new plus lots of locker space, three bathrooms and showers. Only negative feedback is the Mindbody app - I'm on auto-renew for semi-private, but I can't book classes until the new period starts. V important since sessions tend to book up a few days to a week in advance. On that note, since sessions book up quickly (and I work my schedule around the sessions), when a class is canceled by P4L close to the end of a billing cycle (this can happen, coaches are people too), it's tough to get into another class and use up my sessions - and these sessions do not roll over to the next month. Overall, happy camper. Love the social media engagement and fun events that they host. Most of all, thanks to all the kickass coaches. :) read more

I started working with Perform For Life a few months ago and have had a wonderful experience so far. I'm a lifelong dancer and had never done any kind of training at a gym before, but noticed that my lack of strength in certain areas was starting to affect my knees and ability to dance confidently. P4L's supportive atmosphere and friendly staff have made it easy for me to jump into new classes as a beginner and feel motivated to work out in the mornings. Brandon--whose cardio boxing class is super fun, by the way--was thoughtful during my assessment and quickly identified where I was weak or needed help (though to be honest, my lying splayed out on the floor unable to do a single pushup speaks for itself). While my overall goal was to improve my dancing, it was clear I needed to start by focusing on the basics. He matched me with Mimi, who has been helping me build a baseline of overall strength and has been a delight to work with. Mimi is incredibly positive and pushes me just the right amount when I want to give up prematurely, but is always responsive if I feel like I've reached my limit or weight needs to be adjusted. I feel noticeably stronger in dance class, especially when doing floor work that requires upper body support, and more confident in my body in general. I'm looking forward to what the next few months of classes and training bring. Until then, thanks P4L fam! read more

I've been training with Mimi since about February, and she is truly a wonderful trainer. I had never done much weight training before, mostly cardio and yoga, and started with the very basics. Mimi was super patient and motivating, coaching me to build up strength in early sessions so I started to see real progress quickly. She evolves each workout to balance muscle groups week to week, introduces new exercises to keep it interesting, and always makes sure to check in on my goals and what we should focus on next. In the ~10 months we've worked together I am honestly amazed by how much strength I've built up from our sessions--I didn't think I could get here! And I notice the difference daily. When we switched to virtual training, Mimi adjusted immediately, working with the limited home equipment I had to develop sessions that still pushed my progress. Mimi provides great corrections and coaching virtually, pointing out what muscles should be activated by each exercise and watching for form. As the months have gone on I truly value the routine of regular sessions and look forward to it. There have definitely been weeks when I was loowww on motivation and she always showed up ready to go, kept it positive, and every time I left feeling glad I'd gotten up and done the workout that day. If you're looking for a great trainer who really knows her stuff and will truly show up to partner with you to reach your goals, Mimi is your person! Thank you, Mimi, for being fantastic. Very grateful to work with you and excited to continue! read more

UPDATE: P4L park workouts are the best way I know to get out of your apartment these days. Ever since Jacob started Wednesday classes in Duboce Park, I've been an every week regular. I get a great workout and a way to reset my brain past the work day. Again - Everything is properly distanced and safe, and it's so great to be working out and getting sunshine. read more

Kick ass. Been keeping clients moving even in quarantine. Love the workouts and trainers a lot here - focus on you a lot. Very accommodating with my travel and freeze situation too. Wanna get back after quarantine is over for some strength classes. I took personal and small group classes- all were great. read more

P4L is amazing! I have enjoyed working with Randy one on one to focus on my running strength for the last few months. I recently started going to the FiDi location and the gym is great. It is a brand new gym space, so the equipment is top of the line and there is ample space! I am an avid gym go-ers and appreciate both of those things! The showers/lockers/bathrooms are also super nice and have toiletries for you to use! A review for Randy: Every session I feel challenged and that I am learning new moves and pushing my body in the right way. I also love working with him because he knows the right things to say to motivate me. He genuinely cares about my training and makes sure I am feeling good during and after our sessions. read more

Been doing virtual sessions with Randy since Q-tine started and its honestly been such a blast. Loving being able to continue to focus on improving myself and body during this tough time! read more

I've worked with Coach Randy since this spring and its been a great investment in my health. I work in Finance hunched over a computer every day, so I've appreciated the dedicated time to keeping moving and feeling athletic and strong. Randy is awesome and incredibly knowledgeable. He always makes me work harder than I think that I can at the start of the session. Pros: - Great, highly-qualified trainers who put a lot of effort into doing sessions unique to each client. - Really supportive environment. I've never felt uncomfortable or intimidated at any classes at P4L. - The new FiDi location has beautiful new equipment and a ton of space. I really enjoy working out there. - Classes are small, so you get a lot of attention and have trainers paying attention to correct any form mistakes. This is something I've found to be really rare at other gyms. - During open gym time (10am-4pm) it's really empty in the gym and there's tons of space to do your own thing. Cons: - Scheduling classes with Mindbody is a pain and the app is often glitchy. Sometimes the passes don't load correctly and the app incorrectly says that you need to pay for a class when you still have sessions left. - Classes (because they're small) fill up really quickly, which makes the Mindbody issues even more annoying. - It's expensive and not the most flexible. If you're someone that has to reschedule things often or doesn't know your schedule ahead of time it may be difficult to get the full value out of a membership Overall, I'd highly recommend P4L for anyone looking for a supportive environment with lots of attention from qualified, engaged trainers. read more

I love the PFL TEAM! They're so welcoming and truly make me feel at home whenever I'm there. I work nearby so it's wonderful to be able to stop by and get a nice training session in. I was worried with the Shelter in place order but they offer online training sessions currently so I can stay in shape in these tough times! read more

Such an excellent environment and training philosophy. Coach Mimi is an excellent trainer, especially since I'm coming back from ACL surgery. She's helping me work through my imbalances while helping me reach my fat loss goal. Bonus, they are super cautious around covid and take all the protocols necessary and go beyond. read more

Great gym. Great trainers. If you are looking to change things up or are just getting started I highly recommend you give P4L a shot. The gym is clean, the equipment is state of the art and the trainers are top-notch. I have been working out with Brandon Woo for several months now and it's been the best personal training experience I have had to date. I came in with a shoulder/neck injury and he put together a program that enabled me to fix my problem areas and increase my total body strength. Whether you are new to personal training or just looking for something new I strongly recommend you check out P4L. read more

I've been a member of P4L for the past 2 years, and I just can't say enough good things about the business and the community. Bryant and Justine are warm and welcoming, and their coaches are top notch. I highly encourage checking out the new FiDi branch of P4L! read more

I signed up in early March before covid was serious, ended up leaving the Bay Area after quarantine started and headed out of state. I decided to pick up some virtual sessions with Scott Lawson. Being a former athlete I always thought I'd never need a trainer if I wasn't actively playing. Man was I wrong, Scott has kicked my butt, motivated me and worked around my schedule. He has been incredibly flexible and I can't thank him enough. I'm looking forward to working with him in person when things get back to normal but for right now I can't think of a better person to motivate me when stuck at home. read more

Even though Randy is amazing, he's got enough love on this page so this is for everyone else (even though Randy is top notch). I'm a P4L convert from 24 hour fitness. The classes are varied, fun, and fast paced. They're exactly the type that a former athlete like myself loves. Beyond the classes, it's really the people that make this place incredible. Let's start with the manager Brandon. Before signing up, I spoke to Brandon and he worked with me and explained to me what the gym was like in a patient and understanding way. And now that I have been training there and have taken a few of Brandon's classes, he's just a great dude. His boxing class is great and he knows his stuff. He doesn't placate you and say "oh good job" when you're really not doing great. He teaches you and forces you to learn and adapt. Love it. Becca and Tony are equally awesome. I've taken a majority of my classes with them and they are nice and great at what they do. As a national competitor in Olympic weightlifting, Becca brings a ton of knowledge and she even sent me an email with links about something I mentioned in passing during a class. It shows she's listening and cares. Tony, in addition to being a good trainer, has a bomb playlist and love when he's on the aux! Emily, the nutritionist is very nice. I only had a complimentary 30 min session with her but she knows her stuff. The packages for a nutritionist are out of budget for me but if I could afford it I'd sign up for sure. Guys, keep doing what you're doing. To the owners, your staff is great! It's the reason I look forward to coming nearly every morning (even at 7:10am!). The only minuscule comment I have is that the bathrooms aren't 100% well done. In the sense that the showers are in the same level flooring as the rest of the bathroom, and the showers only have a curtain not a door. This causes water to get everywhere. Also the direction of the shower head prays at the curtain instead of parallel to it. Doesn't make too much sense. Some work on the bathroom in that sense would be great. Nonetheless this is a 5+ star review and I wouldn't change it! read more

First experience with a personal trainer and a more specialized gym, and it's been great so far. I have several old injuries I used to work around while exercising, and Jacob's experience as a physical therapist means I'm getting rehab alongside the conditioning I wanted. Good stuff. I'm a fan of his group classes, too; he paces us well and explains the movements clearly. The management team has been great, too. They're fast to respond and use tech effectively to manage shelter-in-place restrictions -- the move to online video workouts was nearly instant, and they're incredibly convenient. read more
