I moved to SD from San Francisco in early August and finding a trainer was a week one priority. I…read moresearched around online and found three trainers with time to fit my schedule and interest in working out outside. I worked out with Parker Lennon, and he out competed the other guys in terms of personality, fitness knowledge, price, creativity of workouts and client:trainer match. Parker is a former high school and college athlete (swimmer, runner, football) so he knows a lot more about fitness than the inside of a gym. He keep his workouts changing - but for me it's a mix of cardio, TRX, kettle-bells, and dragging tires across mission bay park. Within three weeks we increased my fitness to a level where I'm super motivated now, and look forward to our 7AM time in the park. He also runs a Saturday 12noon Bootcamp for a good price and low commitment tryout. Thumbs up.

Ryan evaluated me a few months ago and created an individualized plan based on my goals. When I started I would say I was at 50% and today I'm at 98%! I feel incredible!

At 45 years old, I'm feeling my best thanks to Ryan. I'm going back to playing basketball! I thought my hooping days were over for good. Highly recommend! Ryan is truly gifted.

I first worked out with Tracey when she was working at my local gym. I was actually planning to…read morecancel my membership because I was getting bored with my gym workouts, but I signed up for one last class and Tracey was the sub. I had such a great workout with her that I decided to keep my membership specifically to take her classes. After a few weeks, however, she ended up leaving the gym to focus on HIIT the Mitt full-time so I finally quit and followed her. I've always wanted to give kickboxing a try but never found a place that I felt comfortable going to. 2-on-1 outdoor training sounded like the perfect way to give it a shot so I asked a friend to join me and we signed up for a 10-pack. What I love about Tracey is that her workouts are the perfect amount of challenging and fun. I need that balance to keep me motivated and committed to any workout routine. She's great at putting together a personalized, flexible workout that challenges you to get stronger but doesn't leave you feeling defeated or crappy about your current abilities and strength. She's very attentive and knows how to really push you to the next level but also knows when to ease up or slow down to let you catch your breath. On top of that, Tracey's highly knowledgeable -- it's easy to see from her own form, strength, and the way she coaches you or adjusts your form that she's had several years of formal training in martial arts and Muy Thai so not only are you getting a great workout but you're training with and learning from someone who's an expert. There are a lot of exercise/bootcamp/fitness options in SF but I definitely think HIIT the Mitt (and Tracey) really stands out. If you're looking for a new and exciting workout that leads to real results, I highly recommend HIIT the Mitt!

I have been a huge fan of HIIT the MITT since I started training with Tracey two years ago. Having…read moretried all the group/studio workouts in the area (e.g. Barry's, Rumble, etc), I was looking for something more personalized and versatile that was still fun. What makes HIIT the MITT special is that Tracey not only puts her time and attention into building your training program, but also keeps things interesting and fun with her playlists and attitude. Every full-body workout leaves me feeling like a bad ass and gives me something to look forward to. Training with HIIT the MITT has also been a saving grace for me during COVID. Tracey has adjusted my workouts to being socially distanced and very safe, which allows me to keep up my workouts even in such strange times. It has also been a fun excuse to get out of the house and head to the park for some fresh air. Highly recommend to anyone who is looking to improve their physical fitness, while having fun!

I opted for the month trial for $349 of working out 2 x a week, with the unlimited cardio. Upon signing up, I was really looking forward to it, especially with regards to the nutrition coaching I anticipated receiving. This is a wonderful place to work out for those needing guidance and a boost of encouragement to begin working out. I loved the following: *foam rolling session- empowering *mobility stretches *inclusive environment *encouraging trainers- Sam, Mo, and Ashley! *nice facility *each written out program is "customized" for each person *flexible with my busy work schedule What could use improvement/suggestions: *communication- mostly done through text and last messages sent to owner were not responded to. *follow-through- was under the impression that I would be receiving weekly nutrition coaching calls and a life coaching session. We had a brief call the second week, and I did not feel guided in that area as much as I would have liked. *Would have enjoyed working out on Saturday evening /Sundays
