Brenda was incredibly supportive in helping me get started, creating a personalized hybrid plan that set me up for success. My trainer, Coach Hollis, has been fantastic. His dedication and patience were clear from day one.

I've also been doing group classes with Coach Keith, which are always a good time. He brings great energy, makes each session fun, and ensures everyone maintains proper form while offering helpful modifications when needed. I can't imagine my routine without method3 now, and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to get stronger while genuinely enjoying the process!

Over time, I have trained with some of their trainers one on one and have gained so much knowledge of the world of fitness. From Chris's teachings of conditioning and boxing, to Dom's motivation to achieve my personal record lifts, to Kathy telling me to raise one vertebrae at a time while sweating in yoga, to Cody telling me to "go to failure" when asking how many reps I have to do, these are just a few of the different teachings each trainer has to offer. Over time, I have seen how much they care about their clients and am always astounded by how much their clients grow as they spend their time with The Fit Clinic team. I will always recommend people to the Fit Clinic. You wanna lose weight? The Fit Clinic. You wanna gain muscle? The Fit Clinic. You wanna have a detailed meal plan to fit the diet to reach your goal? The Fit Clinic. The Fit Clinic team always knows how to make each client feel welcome and come into this community of people that help each other grow to their highest potential. [Motion. Muscle. Mindset.] These are the words that show the core of what the Fit Clinic truly is about.

The most mind boggling thing working with mike is easily his knowledge of body building and everything that comes with it. From nutrition to muscle growth and he just naturally shares it with you as you work with him. I've learned more in 4 months than I did the past years lifting on my own.

The Trainer Who Keeps Me Coming Back…read more I've worked with a few trainers over the past 30 years, but Ray is truly exceptional. He is the only trainer who not only challenges me but also takes the time to stretch my body and work with my injury. He explained why stretching is an essential part of strength training, which has made a huge difference in recovery journey. Ray tailored my workouts to include rehab for my arm, customizing sessions to my needs. He is a true motivator--encouraging, knowledgeable, and resourceful. He provides valuable feedback on what I need to improve while keeping workouts both challenging and fun. I always stay motivated because he keeps things fresh with different types of exercises.

My wife and I just finished our first class at F45 Branham Park, and wow, it was a whole new level…read moreof tough. The workout was called "West Hollywood" - 27 stations, full-body - and it absolutely kicked our butts. I'm not the fittest person and definitely have a lot to work on, so I felt gassed out pretty quickly, especially during the core exercises. It was way different from what I'm used to at Orangetheory, which I've been doing for a couple of months now, and definitely more intense in its own way. Coaches Michelle and Rudy were awesome - they really made sure we didn't feel overwhelmed and were super encouraging. They kept the energy high and took the time to help us get through each station without feeling too lost. It was tough and challenging, no doubt, and I can see why people get hooked - it feels like you're pushing yourself in a way that makes you leave everything out on the floor. There's a reason Mark Wahlberg is a promoter of F45; you leave feeling like you're ready to fight your way through an action movie. If you're ready for an all-out sweat and a solid workout that pushes your limits, F45 is definitely worth a try. Just be ready to feel those core muscles the next day - I know I will!

Ive reached fitness goals that i never thought were achievable thanks in largely to coach Michelle. When I first came to class I couldn't deadlift - now I can deadlift almost 200 lbs! Coach Michelle has also helped me greatly with my nutrition, mobility, and overall self esteem. On top of all the fitness achievements, I've met some of my best friends at f45. This is largely in thanks to coach Peggy who made me feel welcome from day 1 and constantly sets up events for our members to socialize and become friends outside of their workout. Coach Peggy has a way of making you feel valued and important to the community on days you don't want to show up. I love f45 BP and can't recommend it enough!

The reason I reached out to Bez at the beginning was because I was overweight due to my pregnancy . I'm only 5.2 but weighted 165 lbs. I couldn't even finished 60 mins classes at beginning and I had back pain too . I was so desperate by that time and wanted to try different aggressive weight loss including medication . The good thing about Bez is , he will always listen to you and let you try them out . So ! You will understand it won't work ... the only thing is to diet + keep exercising!!!! I've lost 30lbs with Bez thru 4 classes per week constantly . Most importantly , weight lose experience was not a pain for me anymore because I developed new running habit ! Running was never my thing for the past 32 years, I can only run 0.4 miles and I would need to take a break. Bez told me he is going to turn me to a runner and I didn't believe in him . But with his methodology running training, I can now run 3 miles !!! We're going to aim 4 miles pretty soon. Bez became our best friend , my husband and my brother also taking class with Bez over the weekend . One thing that I learn from Bez over the past months is never give up ..... you will make it there . This is way more than body training, it's more about mental healthy and pain management which can be beneficial to me for the whole life time !!!!

I joined 24 hour fitness this January. I've been going regularly…read more Pros: it's well organized and easy to navigate. Even when busy, it's usually no or short wait times for machines/equipment Cons: parking is competitive and limited. Gym itself is not super clean. Bathrooms and locker rooms are sort of yuck. It's seems like a combo of mess from customers and poor cleaning products or timing coupled with deferred maintenance on the facility. They are something to avoid while at this gym. Overall, this is an ok place to work out. There's also a pool (small) and sauna.

Very concerning is that there appears to be the presence of black mold on the floors under the sink area and other areas where water and moisture are present. Look at other Yelpers' posts (including one very recent review) and you will see the same sentiment: the bathrooms are FILTHY. I've spoken with the front desk and, more recently, the GM. I was given the same song and dance during two separate conversations: that they have been "short staffed for the past three/four days." Meanwhile, the conditions continue. I will not even go into detail about the filth in the women's bathroom -- go check it for yourself. And the ADA bathroom stall has been "out of order" for at least two months. A patent violation of federal law. I've posted a few pictures. GM and front desk staff: Do better. Be better. You don't have porters to clean? Then go clean it yourselves. Take initiative. This is a reflection of you and your willingness -- or unwillingness -- to keep the bathrooms clean. There should never, ever, under any circumstances, be bodily fluids left on surfaces for days at a time. Shameful.

I have been training with Lea for over 2.5 years now. She is a skilled, professional, and…read moreknowledgeable trainer, with a wide arsenal of workout strategies. She has put me through diverse workout routines based on goals we discuss, and we have so far hit each and every goal! And I was not an easy case. I was a case that needed attention to subtle detail, to eliminate injury/cheat patterns while increasing strength. She has a focus and understanding of good posture and form. It is hard to find trainers who understand good form, let alone be dedicated to ensuring you achieve it. She does this by being creative, and finding the right workout routines to build strength to achieve form in more challenging routines. Most clients like to sweat, and you most certainly will, even more so when you don't get to cheat with your form (ouch)! Training with Lea, you will achieve your goals, increase your strength, while preventing, and even eliminating, injury patterns through good form. I have a lot of respect for Lea, and over the years, she has become a friend, in addition to a fantastic coach that challenges me.

I have been working out with Lea for almost two years, initially once a week and more recently…read moretwice a week. I came to Lea with a weak lower back (which I had accepted as a permanent problem), poor posture, and a lack of flexibility. I had been an active runner an cyclist throughout my thirties and forties but the arrival of our daughter in 2013 lead me to put my exercise on hold. Two years later, frequent aches and pains, and a weak lower back that regularly left left me incapacitated for a few days drove me to look for someone that could "fix" me. A friend referred me to Lea. I was skeptical at first as I had tried commercial gyms in the past and they had not worked for me. However, this was a very different experience from day 1. First of all, the location Lea uses (Norcal Functional Fitness in Campbell) is a well-run, low key gym that specializes in 1:1 workouts. You are surrounded by people in focused 1:1 workouts which provides a positive and stimulating atmosphere, very different from your typical gym. Secondly, Lea is an amazing trainer. Not only is she very experienced and knowledgeable, she is also passionate about her work. She is focused and observant and continuously fine tunes the workout to optimize the results. She is an excellent communicator and has great interpersonal skills. Most importantly, she genuinely cares about the quality of her work. Lea made me realize the invaluable benefits of a regular 1:1 workout and the importance of choosing an experienced trainer to work with. I gained significant strength, flexibility and stability since I started working out with Lea and my lower back issues disappeared entirely. I have nothing but praise for Lea and recommend her without reservation.

(update 3/21/21) I must update my review after a very disturbing encounter with the owner Keith…read more After being a loyal client for about 1.5 years, I was following his cancellation policy (I texted him at least 12 hours BEFORE our next session), he agreed via text it was ok to reschedule (he does this for all clients as long as it's within the policy window outside of emergencies, pretty standard). Then, later that week during my session, he seemed very angry but incredibly passive aggressive. He said I could not reschedule and he's keeping my $75 for that session. I was shocked, caught off-guard because I followed his guidelines. I went back and looked at my texts, not only did I follow his policy, but we supported his business through covid so you'd think we would have at least ONE conversation over the 1.5 years in regards to rescheduling or his dissatisfaction. Since day 1, I was very open about how we needed flexibility in our busy schedules. Later that week, he texted me wanting to drop us as clients (surprised, but completely fine with it) and said he'd refund my 8 sessions for the rest of the month. Well, I can clearly count to 9, so I let him know he owed me for 2 sessions (Sunday + this one). Yeah, he tried to steal from us 2 times. I gave him a chance to explain himself, this was the professional and kind response I got from him via text, he told us to go F*** ourselves (see screenshot, thanks Keith for the evidence!). I also noticed he did not honor his off-peak hours 9am-11am at $40/session. Beware of this owner and his business practices. I will be going back to all my monthly Venmo payments to ensure he didn't overcharge us. More than happy to resolve this issue still and looking to get our money back. Next step will be to report to consumer protection bureaus. I will update this review if anything changes.
