A BIG congratulations Teddy on your 10-year anniversary of the T.T.B. San Leandro location in May 2026! It has been an honor to be a part of your fitness passion and journey as a client since 2019. The consistent personal greetings you provide when entering the gym are more than welcoming, they are HEALTH INSPIRING! I am so thankful my wife encouraged me to start working out again 7+ years ago. You have helped me regain my overall strength, endurance, and health as well as contributed to my better understanding of how to work out safely as I hurl towards my 60s. I really enjoy your coaching style of holding me accountable in a positive environment while also encouraging the importance of having fun along the way. All the trainers and clients contribute to the positive atmosphere of the gym which often feels like an extended family! Thank you for bringing us all together at the annual client appreciation parties! Another benefit of the T.T.B. gym I regularly participate in are the bimonthly Saturday morning Yoga classes with Erica Hooper of Heart Luminations! Her classes are an appreciated variation of the dynamic Vinyasa style with a sprinkling of static poses from hot yoga style adjusted to the capabilities of the attending students. A HUGE thank you Teddy for sharing your passion of health/fitness and at times being my workout life coach/therapist! You contribute to the magical experiences in my life's journey! Kurt read more

Teddy has been an exceptional trainer and has been passionate about me achieving my goals and personal wellbeing. I came in without any exercising knowledge and he was very patient with me, and I really appreciated that he did not mind reminding me of the exercises. He has always been incredibly committed, and he always makes sure to push you when you need it with encouragement and positivity. The high energy and passion that he brings, along with the welcoming and positive culture at the gym has made it easy for me to continue going. I highly recommend anyone to work with Teddy on their fitness goals and he always be the positive coach and supporter in your journey. read more

I was referred to Coach Teddy by my cousins who attend his workout classes. I've been looking for someone to do swim lessons with for quite a while. I tried to learn how to swim a few years ago and in a course of three weeks, barely learned anything. One lesson with Teddy and I was able to finish the first lesson out by taking a few strokes with assistance which was huge. I am extremely terrified of water, even though I've been wanting to learn how to swim all my life. He has such great patience and very knowledgeable. I just overall feel a sense of comfort and safe while learning how to swim with him. Today was my second lesson and I was able to float and do strokes across the pool by myself.(the short length, I'm not to the full length yet ). I left today feeling extremely proud of myself because in 2- 1 hour lessons I learned so much and it's encouraging me to want to keep coming back and learn more. I highly recommend taking swim lessons with Teddy. He teaches all ages and it is never too late to start learning how to swim. I'm 37 years old and I know without a doubt I will be swimming by myself next summer. read more

I can't say enough great things about (Teddy) my trainer! Every session is challenging, motivating, and perfectly customized to my goals. They take the time to focus on form, explain the "why" behind each exercise, and always know how to push me just the right amount. I've seen incredible progress in my strength, endurance, and confidence since starting. Beyond the workouts, Teddy's positivity and professionalism make every session something I look forward to. If you're serious about getting results and working with someone who truly cares, I couldn't recommend them more highly! read more

Becareful I got scammed pay here sessions in full kept making me show up and not following through on his word. Sessions felt like my pe class in middle school. No shower,no equipment,no changing rooms. He even asked me for more money, when we did not get anything done. Use your money on gyms that have invested in equipment,infrastructure and carry integrity. Back smells foul,urine and musty. He tried to get me to come again for money even though we did not reach our goals. Gameplan was to learn weight lifting only and not workout hard. Find a professional place that is clean tidy and qualified. I was never even offered my money back. All he could have said is sorry I don't want to train you and refund money read more

I have been going to Teddy's Total Body for years now. My husband and I originally sought out a personal trainer to help us with motivation to wake up at 4:30am and workout before kids and work. Teddy has a good gym, all the weights needed for a great workout. I like to try some tiktok trends and fun ideas and he helps me with that. He's always got a positive attitude and supports anyone that's willing to put in the work. I have also attended the yoga classes taught by Erica and I loved it, always a welcoming class. read more

Great experience overall. Very professional and motivating, with structured workouts tailored to your goals. Highly recommend

As someone who goes to Teddy I can vouch! He's great at what he does & is very professional. He will make sure you reach your goals & know your strength. Every session I've had was amazing,, I always leave feeling more confident in myself. read more

Training with Teddy has been a game changer for me. From day one, he pushed me past what I thought were my limits -- not just physically, but mentally too. He's incredibly knowledgeable about lifting, form, and overall fitness, and he tailors every session to help you hit your specific goals. What really stands out is how motivating he is. He knows exactly when to challenge you and when to encourage you, and that balance made all the difference. I've seen major progress since working with him -- not only in my strength and endurance, but also in my confidence. If you're serious about getting results and want a trainer who truly cares, Teddy is the one. He'll hold you accountable, keep you consistent, and push you harder than you'd push yourself. Easily the best decision I've made for my fitness journey. read more

I've known about Teddy's Total Body Personal Training for a while. I follow him on Instagram. My oldest son has been trying to convince me to get started working out again. I had failed back surgery 9 years ago and have been in so much pain and so unmotivated. Finally, a couple months ago, I gave Teddy's place a try. Thank goodness I did. I'm so happy to get back on the workout wagon again after so many years. I know it's gonna take time and dedication and Teddy's is the place to help me along. I wear a permanent prosthetic leg brace and it's hard doing certain things, but Teddy works with me and changes up certain exercises so it works for me. Just when I'm getting tired and think I can't do another rep, he encourages me and motivates me to keep going. I know me personally, without someone guiding and pushing me to keep going, I'd probably give up. But now that I've started, there's no stopping now. I'm hoping to get back in shape and feel healthy again. Thank you Teddy for getting me motivated! read more

Meeting Teddy has been life changing! I found his ad on Craigslist in 12/2024 and didn't call until 3/2025. I'm so glad I finally called. From our very first conversation I was met with his sense of humor, compassion and humanity. He listened and gave me guidance on the next best steps to heal my body after some intense injuries which lead to years of stagnation and a sedentary lifestyle. My first session was 3/27/2025 and my life is radically different in the best way possible! In just a short amount of time, my strength, confidence and the healing of my body has been miraculous. It takes determination and devotion to want to change and working with Teddy has made that easier for me to make the changes I desperately needed to make. Just in the last few months, we've developed a great friendship! And we share resources with each other because we both want each other to win. I work out with him early in the morning, and every time I arrive, I am always greeted with a giant smile and "Welcome In!" by his wife Erica, and it just always warms my heart. We are all greeted like that and everyone is welcomed there. We're a melting pot of people in those early mornings, we're all working out together while working on ourselves and you get to see their progress right along with yours. It's a really cool experience. For the last 20 years I've wanted a personal trainer to help me heal my body from injuries and to spend the time with me to teach me how to understand how to build physical strength and heal overall. Teddy has done all of that and so much more! I just cannot imagine not seeing him every week and counting me down as I get noodle arms and complain about it. It's our thing and he's very patient with me. I am so grateful for Teddy's Total Body and I cannot wait to see my progress come 3/27/2026. Thank you, Teddy! read more

TREAT yourself to a 1:1 session, or join one of his small group classes..... you get one life and one body make it work for you!!!!!! read more

Ive been working out and getting trained with Teddy for about 2 months now and I definitely feel lighter. I may not see result as drastic as i imagined but I do feel better in my own body. I have more energy and i feel ready to tackle on the day after a good session. Teddy does his best to get you in at the time that fits best for you and will have long shifts yet still gives you the attention needed for your sessions! Teddy and Erica are super sweet and motivating. Teddy will push you hard because he know how much more you can give, he sees the potential in us even before we see it in ourselves. Erica is so sweet and motivational and helps balance out the environment in the gym! I definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of loosing weight or just trying to get fit! Helps with: -nutrition -good form - motivation read more

I started working out with Teddy about three weeks ago. It took me a while to stop being lazy and get up and go sign up for his classes once I met Teddy he's a cool person. He knows how to kickstart the metabolism. He's a great personal trainer. he's a great nutritionist, I've lost 10 pounds already working out with him 30 minutes a day Monday through Friday also following his eating habits read more

Dedicated and inspiring! If you are looking to get back in shape I highly recommend revisiting your fitness journey with Erica and Teddy at Teddy's Total Body Gym! Thank you to Erica and Teddy, owners and power couple, for helping this mama find her rhythm again on my road to a healthier lifestyle! Three weeks into the program and I have already lost about 8 lbs! I do 30 min sessions twice a week at Teddy's Total Body gym which always leaves me motivated to workout on my own on the other 5 days of the week and eat healthy. Teddy's Total Body gym offers personal training and small group training. I opted in for the small group training which consists of myself and 4 other women. These 30 minutes sessions are intense with a combination of weights, cardio, body weights. What I love about Teddy's Total Body Gym's methods is that the trainers reach out to gain a better understanding of your goal, history with weight-loss and diet, and make suggested modifications if you've had any previous injury. They are encouraging, motivating, and are always bringing high energy and a lively environment. Shout out to Erica for always bringing that contagious energy to each workout! She's not only walking us through the steps but is going through each exercise with us. read more

I am a 64 year old woman, who turned to Teddy's gym to get healthy and fit. Not exercising at all over the years has put me in terrible shape. However, Teddy's gym has been heaven sent. It's challenging, which I love and love the fact that I am able to do it and when I fee I can't the staff and Teddy gives me the motivation to do it. I look forward to reaching my goal dropping a couple dress sizes and losing 30 pounds by my 65th birthday in November 2023. Thanks Teddy, Ruby W. read more

Emailed me 4 times to confirm I was coming to 7am bootcamp. Reiterated that I would be the only one and asked if I still wanted to come. I confirmed each time "yes". Guess who ended up sitting outside the gym alone at 7am for 15 minutes before taking off? Super rude and unprofessional not to show up. If you wanted to cancel just say that instead of wasting my time and my gas having me drive down there. read more

Individual approach! That what stands Teddy out comparing many cookie cutters PTs. No the same routine over and over. You can clearly see he truly likes what he does and you get inspired by that. Very unique! read more

Super unprofessional! I was really excited to sign up with a trainer because I have never had one before but I definitely will not be trying again after the experience I had with Teddy. I met with him and told him my goals and timeline (was hoping to lose some weight before a wedding I'm attending at the end of next month). He charged me in full for 8 sessions the day we met via venmo so that he won't get taxed and scheduled me in for four days a week for the next two weeks. Our first session came around and I waited at the facility for 40mins (sessions are 50min long) and he never showed. He explained to me later that his car got stolen that morning and I was completely understanding even though he didn't let me know until well after the session would have been over. Then he proceeded to tell me that I wouldn't see him until the next week (even though we had three other sessions scheduled that week) because he was going on vacation. SUPER confused as to why he would schedule me for three sessions during the time that he would be out of town. Since my timeline was short as is, I was frustrated that he wasted a week of my time. After all of this I just did not want to deal with him anymore so I asked for a refund for my money. Although his contract stated that there were no cash refunds, I paid through venmo which could have easily been given back, especially given the fact that the fault lied with him. We went back and forth for a while and he has yet to give me my money back so I am now out $300 for no sessions at all due to him cancelling on me. I would understand why he'd refuse to refund me my money if I cancelled on him. But again, our first session was cancelled by him and he failed to tell me he was going to be out of town for the remaining three sessions we had scheduled that week. Definitely do not recommend!! Very unreliable and non communicative and wasted my money on absolutely nothing. read more

AMAZING! I recently had to relearn how to walk and use my right side again. There is nobody I would trust more than Teddy to get me back to where I was as well as stronger. Even on the days when I cried with frustration with myself, Teddy was supportive and pushed me to keep going and spoke nothing but positivity to me. I have limited mobility as I am retraining my brain and body, but Teddy makes sure to tailor to who I am as a person so that I am able to build myself back. I appreciate the accommodation and patience Teddy has with me when I come to workout. I also am weary of COVID and do not get nervous or worried while I am in the session. I definitely am excited for the transformation that is on the horizon as well as grateful to have Teddy support me through that. read more

Teddy is a great trainer full of motivation and enthusiasm. He is very flexible with my schedule. Everyone is very welcoming and creates an awesome atmosphere. Teddy has helped me a lot to get back on track and start looking out for my health. After being consistent in my workout my anxiety has went away completely. I totally recommend Teddy as a trainer to help you with your fitness life and maintaining a healthier lifestyle. read more

Joined this gym for their 16 week challenge. I am a person who like group exercise, it help to motivate me. All of the trainers are knowledgeable and very kind. The bonus for me is there are a lot of black women of all ages participating in this challenge to get healthy and fit. There is personal one on one training as well. My only con is I wish the group classes were an hour instead of 30 minutes. If you are looking to get healthy and fit, you won't go wrong with Teddy's read more

I love it here! Teddy is a great trainer. Not only does he help you reach your goals but he supplies resources to do it. He is really good with holding you accountable. Your results are his results as well so he pushes you to stay consistent. I definitely recommend! read more
