At one point, I even rotated my pelvis, which prevented me from working for about a month. After many visits with the chiropractor, I decided that it's time for me to workout to get my body stronger and prevent future injuries. I have now trained with Garrett for about a year now, and his emphasis on technique and form have helped me increase proprioception. My posture has improved and I'm more aware of my body positioning that I haven't had any other injuries while working. I've been going to "Group Training" class and it's very motivating to workout with others in a small group. The support from others have led me to be confident and push myself further, exceeding my limits. Garrett is very attentive, gives specific feedback, and patient. These characteristics are especially helpful for a beginner like me!

Focus on getting my blood pressure down, increasing mobility, strenghtening my "core" and just improving my overall physical health. My blood pressure has dropped over 30 odd points and stays in good healthy range, my mobility has improved, and while there is still work to do, I am very happy with the progress I have achieved. He has tailored an excercise program that keeps all parts of my body moving. He alternates the excercises, keeps it fresh and while pushing me, he makes sure that I am not hurting myself. We use rollers and other tools to keep me loose and flexible. This has been a great life decision for me and I look forward to a long healthy relationship.

He has been so patient with my whining, so flexible with scheduling, and just so fun to work with that the hour sessions go by so fast. He is 100% worth every single penny (and so many more pennies, actually). Walter cares very deeply about his clients. He is very responsive to any questions and is always reachable. He is the kind of trainer who wouldn't shout at you or push you to the extremes, but you would do the work because you want him to be proud. He is motivating in kind ways, and is there to adjust and support you with your own individual physical journey. I am so sad he's leaving SoCal, but if you are in NorCal, you are in luck. Definitely book him ASAP; trainers like him are very hard to find!

When I was 27 I moved to the Bay Area, I stopped everything I had been doing in terms of health and fitness. I gained so much weight and depression. I kept seeing Jeff's posts on Facebook or IG. But then I had had a baby at 29 years old, so I didn't accept the 6-week challenge. In November 2021 at 32 I decided this was the place for me. Small group classes - cardio and strength. Focus on health and not weight. JOINING THIS GYM WAS THE BEST DECISION I'VE MADE FOR MYSELF. I went from being a kick-boxing, gym rat - thinking I would never not be that. To being someone who wasn't in the gym for six years. I had one meet with Jeff. He let me try it out, and held me accountable. Almost three years later - this is my community. I love Jeff and his family, and the people who work out here. My mindset has changed, and my STRENGTH has changed. I can do things at 35 that I couldn't do at 25-32. I have a better relationship with my body. I feel so confident, and so strong.

I wish I could give Sid more stars because 5 is just "great" but his training is excellent. After…read morejust a few weeks, I started recommending this place to everyone I knew because my back pain disappeared! It's not even the reason I started going here (reason was to get in shape and healthier), but it was a very happy side effect of Sid's gentle restorative approach to fitness. For years, I would toss and turn at night from back pain that gradually increased with each hour, sometimes getting me out of bed at 3 or 4am. If I didn't get out of bed when it got bad, then by morning I'd feel practically disabled, struggling to get out of bed with intense pain that felt like my back was going to break just sitting up. But after just a few weeks with Sid, I realized that I'd been sleeping well and popping right out of bed with no pain!!! It was so amazing, and I do credit that to Sid's restorative training approach. Sid's does personal one-on-one training in his own private gym, so there was never anyone else there using the gym at the same time, which was nice because the focus was 100% on helping ensure I was in the correct positions -- not squatting with my knees wrong, or pulling a stretch band with my elbows or shoulders in a damaging position, feet in correct position, etc. If anything was in a position that could cause injury working out that way, he would quickly let me know how to correct it -- and that was HUGE for me, because I know for a fact (from many workout injuries) that I am the type of person who works out incorrectly. Sid helped prevent that, letting me know if I was doing something correctly, or need to fix my position. But there is so much more! I wasn't expecting this, but he also talked to me each time about things like diet, and what I'm doing on my own time to ensure success, and why or why not certain things I'd been trying were (or weren't) effective at this time, at my current fitness level. He really helped me start thinking differently about what I was eating, how it was affecting my body's ability to function properly, how much and even when to eat, how even little tweaks in a restaurant order can save me the amount of calories equal to a one-hour workout. His information helped me decide to stop drinking one particular type of drink I'd often buy, and switch it for a much better one. I could send him questions any time, he is very responsive. He actually seems to genuinely care about you being successful, and is there to help. Sid was, in my experience, the absolute best kind of personal trainer I could ever hope for. I didn't even know they could be this good. Now, I personally tried Sid's personal training gym as a treat for myself for Christmas, as I can't normally afford such a thing. But I really need fitness help, and I liked his website -- it's focus on restorative exercise sounded exactly like what I needed, and I wanted to try it. So I did, and I can't wait until I can go back again! I do absolutely recommend Sid at Back to Fitness to anyone who can afford it because it was truly life-changing for me, and I learned so much even in the short time I was there, and my back still feels better (thank you so much, Sid!). I really can't wait to go back here again.

Yes these are trainers, BUT they make working out a competition between everyone in the class, they make you GO FAST which is NOT how someone should work out unless you want to get hurt. In the class I noticed a lot of people have very POOR form, rounded back, lifting too heavy for themselves, not taking their time to really get good form in. I've heard other people in class say they were sore for 5 days, that's not good. You are pushing people too hard that are just getting in and they will hurt themselves! The first class a trainer will typically evaluate you, ask you if you have any injuries , and weakness, and pain, none of this was done my first day which would make it very easy for someone to hurt themselves. Not to mention there's no stretching before or after? I don't trust these guys, for the amount your paying. (175$ monthly) they should really be focusing on being a trainer and the form of people paying them. You sign a full disclosure if you hurt urself it's not their fault.... if you're paying this much.. I would recommend getting a trainer from a gym. No one in this class is super fit besides the trainers and that should tell you something ...
