They're faster, more consistent, and energetic. They also love his music. The atmosphere of this place is amazing. read more

Looking for the correct way to work out? Improve physical strength and flexibility? Coach Jose is the best! He has helped our son to improve his vertical jump by almost 10 inches in months. He tailors the programs specifically for the athlete's needs and tracks the progress. That's what exactly we were looking for. read more

Coach Jose has been training my son and his volleyball teammates since last August. The boys love him! We, as parents, see huge improvement in terms of physical strength and the verticals. These are essential skills for volleyball play. He understand your needs and he can provide the solutions! read more

I have been working out w/ coach Jose Aguayo for the past 4 yrs. from the time when he was a director at QUAD to where he is now. He is a stickler for right form and has been phenomenal in customizing his workouts for his clients w/ issues (knees in my case). Well rounded programming - covers form, high-intensity drills, endurance and muscle recovery coupled w/ prescriptive guidance on diet. Absolutely the best place to see real results w/o getting into injuries. And did I mention ..... he's super funny read more

In my 5 years of working out and training with various trainers Jose is by far one of the BEST coaches ever. I was always a person who did not like group classes but when I went for my first class and seeing the training fell in love with his training style and workout routines. I have lost more weigh and gained more strength with Jose's training than with any other trainer before. I would 100% recommend this gym/training to anyone serious about making a change. read more

Hello all, Personal athlete here, and working with Jose (the main instructor) has taken my fitness to a new level. He found ways to tailor workouts according to my needs. His workouts are intense and you will see benefits in a short amount of time. In addition to great workouts, workouts are affordable which is not something that is easily found in the Bay Area. He trains everyone from youth volleyball teams to corporate professionals. 100% worth the investment. Not to mention, he will give you his maximum effort and makes no excuses. If he says something, he will follow through and provide what he can to make sure that you see results in your fitness goals. read more

When I first met Jose at my gym in Pleasanton, it was friends at first sight. I had been doing Crossfit training before I retired. Once retired I joined a local fantastic gym near my home. I had been doing my own workouts, which was 50% of what Crossfit did for me. The gym brings in Jose Aguayo as a Crossfit Trainer. His classes grow from 5 to 40 people. I have never seen folks love a trainer like they do Jose. I was approaching 60 years of age working out with 20-40 year old folks, so Jose sets me up with a modified program so I could still work out with motivated people. I think the best was watching Jose with middle school & high school age athletes. They loved attending his workouts, even though they were difficult. Jose is a motivator of fitness and one of the nicest guys you would want to meet. I highly recommend him. read more

My son is 14 and he has been working with Coach Jose for almost a year. He really benefited from Coach Jose's workout programs and he has become stronger and faster. It also helped enhance his sports performance. Coach Jose really cares for the safety of his students which is very important to us. My son looks forward to his sessions every week. We highly recommend Coach Jose! read more

Best kept secret in Pleasanton! If you are looking for a trainer to not just motivate you to work toward your fitness goals, but to also implement a plan, provide a comfortable and fun atmosphere, push your limits, and continuously check in with you to monitor progress, THIS IS THE PLACE!! Jose Aguayo is extremely knowledgeable about nutrition and fitness and will tailor his programmed workouts to meet you at your current level of fitness (while at the same time push you forward to reach your goals.) Also, the people who workout here are super friendly, from all walks of life, and supportive of each other. Class sizes range from 3-15 people, so even on busy days, you feel like you are with a private trainer. I was hesitant to workout in this type of environment initially because I felt so out of shape, but Jose made me feel comfortable and the folks working out were welcoming. All fitness levels are welcomed. Oh....also.....don't come here expecting all the bells and whistles that come with places like Club Sport....you wont find that here, but guaranteed you will feel better about your level of fitness. read more

I've trained with Jose for over 5+ years and I can easily say he's the best coach that I've ever encountered. I've trained at 5 different crossfit gyms over the years so I feel like I have a cross section of coaches, and approaches. Here are the things I prefer about Jose: 1. A real background in sports training. Jose studied (college) and trained to be a coach, he's not just some athlete that is good at crossfit or someone that went to a weekend Level1 training course. He has a deep understanding of movement, proper form, and how to get you to your fitness goals. He understands why and how each exercise effects your body at a deep level. He's a lifelong learner and is always posting and reading articles on fitness, sports training, and health. He really really loves coaching, and you can see this in the way he runs his programs and classes. It's a feeling that you can't really describe, but you know it when it's there -- someone doing the thing they love and doing it at a very high level. It's like watching a virtuoso play their instrument, or seeing an artist paint something amazing. 2. He writes his own programming. The guy spends hours carefully considering how to program each week. He's not copying from some other gym, or looking at some online forum. He's putting all his years of experience, and the insights he's getting from observing his students, into a comprehensive program to push you towards your goals. He's adjusting the programming in real time based on your progress. His combination of strength and conditioning is really ideal. Working his programming I saw huge increases in both strength (too many PR's to list) as well as huge gains in my cardio conditioning. It's a very well put together all around approach that makes you very well rounded. 3. His classes are fun. Although he tells the same corny jokes all the time, he makes working out less work. He has a warm personality and treats everyone in the class the same -- rookies to elite athletes, everyone gets a fair share of personalized coaching and instruction. Workouts are always varying and he brings in his background in sport specific speed and agility training, which most crossfit gyms don't offer. 4. It's a group setting, but it's actually personal training. Have you ever been to a gym where the coach can tell you your scaled weight before the workout begins? One where a coach remembers that you tore your shoulder a year ago and that you rolled your ankle last week? A coach that is keenly observing the class through the entire workout, actively pointing out form errors? Yeah, me neither. No other coach I know of knows his athletes as well as Jose. He knows my injuries, my PR's, my capacity, my movement weaknesses like they were his own. Not only for me, but for EVERYONE in his class. This just doesn't exist anywhere else, period. I could pay $150/hr for personal training, or I could pay $150/mo to work out with a coach that acts like a personal trainer. Really can't overstate this enough, it's absolutely personal training in a group setting. 5. It works, period. When I train with him, i see and feel the difference. I'm constantly seeing improvement across the board, be it strength, technique, or motor. I've trained at other gyms, and this is not always the case. I recently moved from the area, and one of the things I miss most is Jose's training. If you're on the fence I'd suggest going to a class to experience his training in person, well worth it. read more

Since starting with Aguayo performance in June 2017, I have noticed significant changes to my body. I am stronger and leaner thanks to Jose Aguayo. He is an extraordinary coach and I love his attention to detail. He figures out a way to make working out fun for everyone, and his passion for health and fitness shows in his classes. He is a big part of my weight loss journey. Since June I weighed 288 lbs and since starting with Aguayo performance to this day I have lost 35 lbs. I have a goal in mind and I am glad that I found Aguayo Performance. My wife and I are extremely pleased with Aguayo performance and we highly recommend Aguayo Performance to anyone and everyone. read more

I met Coach Jose Aguayo 3 years ago when he was Director of the CrossFit program at The Quad. When The Quad closed, I waited for Jose to open his own place because I definitely wanted to continue training with him. Now I've been with Jose at his current location for over a year. The workouts are challenging, varied and fun. I enjoy leaving the studio totally energized and exhausted at the same time. One thing I appreciate about Jose is his emphasis on safety. He knows exactly how much weight I should put on my bar, how much weight to add, how many reps I should do and when to push me to the next level. read more

Coach Jose is a true professional ,knows his craft. Been a personal trainer myself I was looking for somebody I could train and learn from. He shows his passion for coaching and shows a lot of care for his members. He makes his workouts enjoyable and fun! If you wanna reach your goal in the gym,Jose will individualize the program to fit your needs. Can't wait for my next session read more

Jose is a quality trainer that knows how to customize workouts for your needs. He truly cares about his clients and goes above and beyond to ensure they are reaching their goals! He has a positive energy that makes you look forward to working out!! read more

Jose is the real deal! Great guy and cares about the people he coaches. Amazing how he can remember each persons modifications, what weights they should use for each exercise and is a perfectionist on proper form. So happy to workout at Aguayo performance!! read more

I have worked with over a half dozen coaches across several different gyms over the past 5 years, and Jose is by far the most knowledgable, attentive, and dedicated. He programs with the purpose of long term health and fitness and clearly cares about helping each individual athlete - from beginner to experienced, young to old - achieve his or her goals. His understanding of body mechanics and proper form, combined with his knack for programming that is both fun and progressive truly sets him apart. His program includes days that focus on strength and days that will push you with high intensity interval training - each day is part of his larger plan to help us become fitter, more well rounded athletes (and I never though of myself as an athlete before!). I trained with Jose before leaving Pleasanton a few years, and knowing that he was opening up this gym was a huge motivator for my moving back to the area. If you are looking to get both strong and fit and to join an amazing community, I can't recommend Aguayo Performance enough. read more

I would highly recommend Aguayo Performance to anyone near Pleasanton that is looking to improve their fitness or performance. I have been lucky enough to work with/for Jose for a few years in the past and he is an exceptional coach. Over the years I have been exposed to a number of coaches, and not many are able to connect with each member while providing a great workout like Jose. He is able to blend all the different programming strategies he has learned over the years to make sure each participant gets a workout suited to them. Also, if you have kids I can't think of a better place for them to train as well! He not only gets results, but the kids enjoy training with him as well. Not many coaches know movement and how it applies to sports like this guy, so you can't go wrong by choosing to train at Aguayo Performance! read more

I have worked with countless fitness coaches over the years and without question Coach Jose is the best of the best. His background, experience, personality and approach to fitness in unparalleled. Classes at Aguayo Performance are designed to help you become functionally fit through a variety of different workouts that have been thoroughly vetted and tested by him to get you to your goals. Whether that is to lose weight, get leaner, become stronger, jump higher or run faster, Jose will help you reach that goal. It's not some random workout either; Coach Jose spends hours designing programs for his classes to maximize your goals and help you get fit. It's a perfect combination of strength, cardio and high intensity training. I call his approach "small group personal training" because it does not matter if he is coaching just one person or a group of 15 he pays attention to you to make sure you are doing the exercise correctly; he is a stickler for form. He takes the time to learn about you and is great at motivating and pushing you to your potential. If you have an injury or limitation he modifies the workouts for you. Jose creates a very fun and relaxed environment and he is very good a promoting a community atmosphere. I look at joining a gym as an investment in my long term health. I've worked out with Jose for many years and I know he has been a big contributor to keeping me strong and healthy. I highly recommend that you try working out with Jose, there is no one as good or devoted to his craft and your well-being as him and you will notice the difference. read more
