If you're looking for personal training in Marin, CaliTraining is an absolute gem. My husband and I…read morehave been doing couples training with them for over a year, and it's completely transformed our fitness. We've seen major improvements in our strength, conditioning, and overall health -- and we've actually enjoyed the process (which I didn't think was possible at a gym). Jesse and Scott are both incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely fun to train with. We're at different fitness levels, but they've created customized workouts that challenge us both and keep us motivated. We always leave our sessions feeling stronger, more energized, and never once regretted showing up. The other thing that makes CaliTraining so unique is the location. You're literally training on a dock over the bay, with seals swimming by and boats in the background -- it's like nothing else in Marin. It feels almost surreal that this is where we get to work out. Over time, we've also become part of a really welcoming, down-to-earth community. We've met great people through the gym, and it's made our fitness routine something we truly look forward to. If you want a personal training experience that's thoughtful, personalized, and set in one of the most beautiful spots in the Bay Area, this is it. We can't imagine our lives without Jesse, Scott, and CaliTraining.

I first started going to Xavier abut 20 years ago. I had lapsed on my fitness and my arms and legs…read moreshowed it. They were so flabby and my formerly flat stomach was long gone. He's the only trainer that has managed to make me get up and workout at 6am. It was amazing how quickly I popped into shape by just working out with him 2 days/week and doing my assigned cardio. I looked and felt great. And we became close friends..he is like my baby brother. Fast forward to COVID. Life had moved on, I had stopped working out with Xavier but we still stayed very close. One day we were talking and he picked up something in my voice that concerned him. He didn't like it and insisted I come work out with him...outside. I didn't realize it, but guess I had a bout of depression due to the isolation and recent loss of my Mom. I was heavier than I'd ever been..194 pounds! We began working out 3 days/week and I did power walks 2x/week. In one year, I lost 20 pounds, a host of inches around my waist and arms and got my body tone back. I am now 160 pounds. That's what Xav does. He sees the real person underneath, and helps you envision and realize your true potential. All from a place of caring discipline and true joy. He loves what he does and, somehow, makes you love it too. All while achieving your end game. He is truly one of a kind..and the best!!

This place is the real deal! Cornell is so committed to his customers. The workout is thorough and…read moreyou will feel it. You will also experience a tremendous explosion in your strength just after a month of classes 2x/week. Cornell is exceptionally knowledgeable of health and nutrition and "gently" guides you towards your goals. There is an initial interview/intake session and then you can either join a class or book individual sessions with him. The regulars in class have a very tight bond, however they are more than willing to cheer you on! You will be stronger and more fit in a very short period of time no matter your fitness level. On 3... G-B-C!!

I have been working out with Kevin for over 2 years now, he has also been training my 17 year old…read moreson for the same amount of time. Kevin is really committed to tailoring a workout program for each client which he documents and evolves as you progress. His program has changed my life. I was a fanatical trainer until i was 30. Had kids, and came to Kevin 250 pounds and really out of shape. I'm down to 220, am the fittest I have been in years, and feel great. Kevin understands not only muscle and strength training he also focuses on diet and can provide testing to check hormone levels etc. Kevin is an excellent trainer and a wonderful all around person. Best in Marin.

I found Gerard through Bark and met him, did the assessment and signed up for a package. He then proceeded to change the date of our meeting times twice (once on the actual day), and he completely didn't show on another time and claimed we had agreed on a different time but I sent him a photo of our text exchange to prove we hadn't. I believe in giving folks chances, but this was the third time of flaking and at this point I asked for my money back. He was ok with that and claimed he'd send me a check. Then a week went by. Then two. Then two more. He said it "got lost in the mail"--I waited another month. He still claimed he'd drop by with it and he never did. Eventually, I had to file a claim with my credit card company to get my money back. The owner of the gym even asked Gerard to leave because he's done this to other people too.

I have been in the fitness industry my entire life. Whether it be playing competitive sports,…read morecoaching and training others, or having my own trainer, fitness is a huge part of who I am. Because of my background, I need to work with a trainer who knows their stuff inside and out, one that will push me, and one that understands the fundamentals of exercise physiology and stays away from the hot, hip, and often dangerous trends. JT was all of that and more. I came to JT with a specific goal and only three short weeks to reach it. Three weeks for a fitness program is like a blink of an eye. It is quick. I worked with him twice a week where he pushed me, encouraged me, supported me, and also made sure I left smiling. Within those six sessions, my strength increased exponentially, my stamina improved, and my mental game took huge strides forward (never thought I would be able to do 200 pushups in a day). Each time I came to train with JT, the studio was clean and he was there ready to go. He never wasted time, and he never stalled while coaching me through the workout. He was organized, thorough, methodical, and prepared. I looked forward to my sessions all week. On the in between days, JT would check in with me to see how I was feeling and how my workouts were going. His love for what he does and excitement for my progress always came through the messages. JT is not a good trainer. He's not even a great trainer. JT IS ONE OF THE BEST AND MOST PROFESSIONAL TRAINERS I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH IN MY ENTIRE FITNESS CAREER. Do yourself a favor and visit Jake and JT. You'll thank yourself after.

Marin Heavy is a fantastic gym with a well-rounded approach to fitness…read moreThe program focuses on comprehensive strength training that enhances power and endurance. I participate in Programs that improved my speed and overall mobility. The Coaches helped me achieve my personal fitness goals, providing tailored support. Marin Heavy has an inclusive Membership. There are individuals of all ages and backgrounds, we make up a diverse community. I enjoy the work-outs that encourages participation and support. The positive training atmosphere is hard to find elsewhere. The Gym has a concentration on Olympic Weightlifting, a style and discipline gaining broad appeal across many athletic pursuits. Many of our athletes pursue competitive weightlifting and have earned National and International success.

My previous review was out of line and needed to be modified after I reread it. Not the intention I…read morewas trying to convey about the gym. I am wrong to make this about personal emotions and need to just state facts about the business. The gym is a bit small and tight knit, everybody is friendly. Jasha is the best. He's been doing this since he was a kid. 30 plus years of coaching under his belt. Clean equipment, water and ice available, sauna, all very nice. Can get a bit crowded on occasion. But that can lend itself to motivation. They also do a kids program, which I believe nobody else does here in Marin. Cool. Various programs with increasing benefits and coaching as the membership fee goes up, all very standard. Can get a key and come in on your own time if the morning or evening hours don't work for you, so that can be a good option. This gym is set up for competition, the programming is progressively set up to peak you on a certain day. They stress moving slow when beginning to prevent injuries and are very strict about techniques. Teaches proper form before just building brute muscle, so you can avoid injuries.

I have lost 70 pounds so far in 11 months thanks to Brent. I 100% could not have accomplished this…read morewithout his help, guidance and support because I have tried dozens of times prior and failed every time. I use both Brent's nutrition coaching and personal training. He is the best! I have never worked out before so was super nervous to start but Brent was so patient, kind and encouraging which put me at ease and now I find it very enjoyable. Plus Brent is hilarious and keeps you laughing! I'm 50 and needed help with both losing weight and getting stronger and improving my mobility. I'm able to do things I haven't been able to in years and feel fantastic at the same time. I have never eaten better in my life and have finally learned proper nutrition and skills to eat healthfully. Brent has improved my life in many ways - thanks to his coaching and training I have never felt better or more confident. He is so knowledgeable about health and wellness and nutrition and fitness - he has many tips and tricks to share! I look forward to continuing to work with Brent and losing more weight and getting even stronger.

He is extremely knowledgeable about every single muscle in your body, form, function, nutrition, metabolism, and he knows just how to motivate you to keep going. I had never lifted weights before, but I see the benefit and believe it is the best way to stay healthy and strong. Brent makes it all possible, with his encouragement and attention to detail in the workouts, he plans the program to suit your specific needs and changes it up so it is never boring. I highly recommend Brent without hesitation.
