Let's start by, this is home to me, so every time I am going to WestCa I am going to my second home! I know I will be there everyday, and the most important reason why is, you can't give to your friends nothing more important than support. Aside from that, this gym is operated by nonetheless than Tory Woodward, 3x Olympia Champ! and Meaghan, they really want to make a change to people's life, if you are willing to pay the dues. Nothing came easy not even for him!!! They really cater to every single person, you must give it a try. WESTCA IS HOME! read more

Just moved to downtown SJ and have been looking for a new gym. So glad I found Westca--the gym is very clean and well kept, the employees and customers are all very nice and welcoming, and it's never too busy (unless you come right at the after-work hour). It's a great place to workout and you feel like you're part of a community--would highly recommend! read more

During my year & a half of being at WESTCA, I made a ton of new friends & got to meet the great staff of this amazing gym! It became a second home to me, met people who became close friends, & the staff takes care of you as if you're family. Tory & Meaghan are great at managing the gym, & they multi task by doing personal training as well. The gym is always spotless & a great environment to improve yourself physically & spiritually. A positive environment with great equipment. I moved to Austin, Texas & will miss this gym dearly. It truly was a blessing to have found a gym where you're comfortable to get a great workout in! read more

Westca - Trainers Near Me - San Jose, California

Best gym in San Jose! A few thoughts: The gym is the most focused and welcoming gym Ive ever been too. They strive to welcome everyone regardless of their experience and skillset. Tory and Meaghan are the owners of this family businuess and run it with extreme care and passion. Staff is very friendly. There are many serious bodybuilders who come to this gym but there are equally as much beginners who are just starting their fitness journey. The experienced folks are extremely friendly, humble, and willing to help if you ask. Unlike other national gyms such as 24 hour, this gym isnt overly crowded, people don't hangout on the machines for unreasonable amounts of time. People are here to feel and look good. You can just feel the vibe and I cant stress how important that is. Highly recommend to anyone, regardless of where you are in your journey to be fit and healthy! read more

I've been a member for what looks like almost 3 years now and all I can say is if you're in the Bay or visiting and need a gym to train at then WESTCA is the place to be. When I first decided to visit the gym it was originally planned for only a week due to the gym I went too (at the time) being closed down for renovations. I brought a friend with me and even though we were intimidated the first time, we loved it and signed up the following week . The staff and Tory were so welcoming and what really stood out to me the most is Tory (Co-Owner) knew that we were unfamiliar faces at the gym so he took a break from shooting photos and introduced himself to us. Despite not being like a big chain gym (it's 1 of 1) that's what I like about it. I'm NOT treated as a number or another membership holder but rather I'm treated as a HUMAN and I've built some of what looks like life-long friendships and relationships because of this gym. From the equipment, to the staff, to being one of the few gyms in the area you're allowed to record videos at, WESTCA is a MUST place TO BE or VISIT! read more

I have had a great experience at WESTCA. Everyone is really friendly and it's a great atmosphere to workout in. They also offer nutritional advice and private training to help you achieve your goals. I've dropped over 20lbs since I started working out there in 2021. I would definitely recommend this gym for anyone in San Jose area! read more

I joined WESTCA in Oct 2022 and instantly felt the support from everyone, such a welcoming and fun community. I've been training with Maegs for 3 months and I've never felt better! She's very knowledgeable and motivating, always pushing me to achieve my goals. Even with my busy work life, Maegs has always found a way to fit training into my schedule going above and beyond to make sure I stay on track. It's been a dream to train with Maegs at WESTCA! read more

Wasn't gonna post anything because I don't want Adrian's schedule to fill up and have it harder for me to get in but he is hands down the best trainer I've had!! Even in a group setting Adrian makes sure to tailor your workouts to be the perfect blend of challenging and effective. He's super motivational and a joy to hang out with! I highly recommend him for anyone looking to up their strength training at any level (new or experienced). Thanks Adrian for pushing me to be able to squat 185 lbs ! read more

I have been training with Adrian for just about a year now and there are no words to describe what an incredible experience I've had thus far. I started out not knowing anything about strength training or lifting, lacking a lot of confidence in the gym, and just generally not feeling like my best self physically. After consistently working with Adrian over the past year, I can truly say that I am more knowledgeable, confident, and stronger...all thanks to him. The personal training here is worth it no matter how experienced you are. The overall vibe of the gym is immaculate. I have nothing negative to say. I'm a definitely a Westca member for life. read more

I've been to so many gyms in the past and have had a terrible experience at each one! I decided to come to Westca to start training with Paulina and I loved every second of it! The owners are seriously the sweetest and the entire staff was always so kind. Even before COVID, I was so impressed at how clean the gym was! I appreciate that everyone at the gym was also respectful and mindful of sharing the space. To my girls in SJ, holla at my girl Paulina for training. She is truly so beautiful inside and out and has the biggest heart. She has so much knowledge and you definitely will get stronger but also feel so confident in yourself when training with her. Honestly it was so therapeutic every session and I looked forward to seeing her every morning I highly recommend westca if you are looking for a gym!! read more

I've been apart of Westca gym for about 4 years, and I've never felt so accepted and part of a community when it comes to fitness. Truly an amazing atmosphere where you always feel welcomed and people genuinely want to get to know you or offer you help. I've trained with Andy for a few months now and his definitely put a big impact in my training in such short period of time. Truly a unique, caring, and specialized trainer. Westca is family & Andy kills at legs! Highly Recommended! read more

The best gym in the Bay Area! I was a member of this gym for about a year and the only reason I had to cancel was because I moved out of the area. This is an awesome place with awesome people. I loved working out here. Westca made such a great environment to be in and I recommend everyone to check them out!! read more

This gym is great! I've had the pleasure in working with Alishia and Lindsay, they are amazing. Thanks to their dedication I been able to achieve my body goals. Getting on the right meal plan and doing the right workouts and of course consistency, have gotten me there. I truly enjoy getting my workout in with these girls. The energy is just right and we get to work , no time is wasted. Plus the gym has great energy, not to mentioned the owners Tory and Meghan are amazing. I strongly recommend this gym to anyone that wants to look their best and feel their best! read more

I didn't realize how much environment and the people I surrounded myself with made in my fitness goals until I came to WESTCA. I went to 24 hour fitness super sport for over a decade and saw minimal results but once I started working out at WESTCA I saw my results blast through the roof. Everyone was so helpful when I first walked in and it made me want to get involved with their personal training program. Even during the small opening during the shutdown everything was extremely safe with every member wiping down every piece of equipment after use. read more

I love this gym which I can walk to from my home downtown. It is attractively designed, clean, bright, historic (converted Sperry Flour Mill From 1900), playing mostly upbeat House Music, and completely optimized for weight lifting. I love the mix of old brick from the original warehouse and contemporary styling within the gym. They will loan you iPads while on the cardio machines. Everything is well thought out and well attended to. Excellent trainers and an inspiring 6 week challenge for diet to support lifting. I have seen this make a huge difference in a few people. They have a body scan machine on site to measure body fat vs skeletal muscle content. The owners are on site daily and have helped me understand effective training and inspired me by showing me what is possible through their examples. It's also just a lovely group of dedicated people who work out there. It's also an amazingly good deal at $40 a month. Usually quality and that kind of price don't meet. read more

I've always hated going to the gyms in the past because of the seedy activities and creepy gym goers, but at Westca, nobody makes you feel that way. Everyone becomes family and the equipment is always clean and plentiful. I will never join another gym for as long as I live. Coming to Westca was one of the best decision I ever made. read more

A*D*R*I*A*N - killing it, one lb at a time! He is motivating and inspiring! Highly recommend 10/10!

I have been training at Westca and with Adrian for a few years now. This place is amazing and very family oriented. Adrian has definitely helped me achieve me goals and helped me understand a lot of fitness. Adrian is someone that cares about his clients and goes the extra mile. I'm happy to call to him my friend. read more

I've been going to Westca for a little over a year now and have used both their private and semi private trainings sessions with Brandon (who's no loner at Westca) and Adam. From getting set up with a consultation to finally "graduating' from semi private training to my regular gym sessions this gym has been nothing short of an amazingly welcoming gym. I was used to those 24 hour fitness gyms which made me scared to try weightlifting. Working out here has been the complete opposite. I had amazing trainers that took the time to teach me the machines and movements and pushed me to do my absolute best each time even when I give them the hardest of times. Since joining, according to my inbody scans and Adam's math - I've cut my body fat in half!! read more

I started working out at WestCa back in October with Maegs. She brings so much energy and encouragement to the work outs that the time flies. She is also super flexible with her schedule and is always willing to help where she can to make sure you get your work out in. 10/10 recommend her for anyone looking for a person trainer! read more

I don't know what I would do without WestCa in my life! I have been training with the owner Meaghan for 2 1/2 years now and she has motivated me and given me a passion for the gym. I never use to be consistent with my workouts but even through a year of Covid we kept up our normal training- (virtually via zoom) and it was one of the few things that brought me sanity. I now look forward to workouts and to returning to the immaculate gym and seeing the WestCA fam. If you need a wonderful gym or motivation this is the place, can't recommend them enough! read more

I've never had great experiences at big-box gyms. Luckily for me, WESTCA is not a big-box gym and the community here is so friendly and supportive. FWIW, gyms in general are not comfortable places for me. I'm a yogi and yoga teacher, so put me in a strange yoga studio? No problem - I put my shit down, roll out my mat, grab props and I'm good. I'll even chat with other students or the teacher on a good day. But any gym of any kind - I never know what to do once I'm there. Equipment never seems to be where it's supposed to be, and honestly without a trainer I don't have any clue what constitutes a good gym workout and what doesn't. The only thing I know how to do at a gym is run at a treadmill or play squash in a squash court, and it seems like a real waste to pay for a membership and only run in one place the whole time. Earlier this year I signed up for Westca with the intention of getting stronger, to use weight training to supplement and cross train for yoga. It took a while but I finally worked up the courage to walk through the doors. Everyone who works the front desk when I come in is SO friendly (I've never failed to get a hello), and all the people who are working out at the gym are focused but also friendly. I usually come during the latest hours, close to closing, and I love that the gym is pretty empty at that time - I feel like I can take up as much space as I want and nobody cares if I'm walking up and down the aisles while stretching between sets. For the price of membership you pay for a space that is well-lit, clean, and well-maintained; a community that is supportive and motivating, and also inspiring (some of the people who work out here are just wow!); and a positive atmosphere where you can be exactly where you are regardless of age/size/fitness level and where people are going to work out, not play on the phones or take selfies of themselves. It's so worth it to be in a space that is non-judgmental and where people obviously take pride in keeping the space nice for the others around them. Parking: Street parking or validated parking if you park at the garage directly opposite of Westca. This was one of the primary reasons I joined up and I SO appreciate the perk. Layout: The gym is split into two four areas in two rooms. Upon entry, you have the front desk/reception/lobby area along with retail on the left side, and then cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, and bikes) on the right. The only thing I would say is missing is a rowing machine, which is my favorite piece of cardio equipment. The second room beyond has all of the free weights, weight machines, and other assorted things such as a fake lawn area, battle ropes, exercise balls. There are mirrors running along both sides of the room, and bathrooms and cubbies in the far back. One thing I appreciate, as a gym newbie - all of the machines have instructions on them. Genius! Locker Rooms: Not really, but there are restrooms with a few stalls and one shower in the men's and women's restrooms. Honestly, the place is so small you're never really out of view of your gear - I've never felt like my stuff was in danger of being stolen. Final Thoughts: Worth it. Get rid of your big box gym membership and come here instead - you get so much more value for your money. read more

I've been working with Paulina for almost a year now and it makes me wish I never spent money a nutritionist or a therapist. She basically gave me suggestions to lose weight, yet I decided to go with a nutritionist who uses the same tools. Sometimes I want to cut my calories to lose weight fast, and she'll say it's a bad idea, and I'll ask my nutritionist and she says EXACTLY what Paulina says! As for therapy (which I go to in order to figure out why my coping mechanism is eating), she straight up told me to learn how to love myself and blah blah blah and I was like 'nahhhhhh, you're wrong', yet I'd go to therapy and my therapist would tell me the EXACT thing Paulina would tell me. She won't butter anything up, she's very straightforward, which is necessary because someone needs to call me out when I want to give up on this really longgggg, difficult journey to losing weight. Although, there are times when my training sessions with her are right after a therapy session and I'm literally sobbing and complaining and hating life while doing step-ups, and she'll ask me if I need a break or not. It's been a weight loss rollercoaster for the past year and I wouldn't want it to be with anyone else! read more

Pros: -has enough variety of equipment and weights to lift -small turf area for more than just lifting -clean facility, bathroom -good atmosphere -friendly staff! Cons: -can get crowded -slightly small -limited cardio machines (in comparison to larger commercial gyms) Overall, good gym in my book. read more

By far one of the most professional, and customer service oriented gym I've ever been to. All employees are very enthusiastic and passionate about your fitness journey and are willing to take that extra mile to meet your personal goals. Every time I enter the gym I'm always feeling the positive energy from the receptionists, especially Allie. She's always making personal connections with each member and ensures each member walks out Westca with a smile/ reinsures you why you came in on the gym with today! read more

I encourage whoever is reading this and in the area to give WESTCA a try. It is certainly the most welcoming environment in which I've ever had the pleasure to train. If you've been around gyms for any length of time you know that people stepping on your toes, invading your space, bothering you, and generally being inconsiderate is simply an expectation of the gym experience. Naturally, any deviation from these low expectations stands out in a big way. From the moment you walk through the door it is obvious that the gym is centered around a culture of positivity and camaraderie. Other gym-goers and staff are polite, considerate of your space and your time, friendly without pestering, and supportive of all members regardless of experience and fitness level. My only complaint is that I wish it were a bit bigger, but we can blame the Bay Area real estate market for that! If I weren't moving 300 miles away, I would still be training here, and if I ever move back I certainly plan to be back. read more

Looking to be challenged, hit your goals, and feel part of a community? Meet WESTCA! I've never had much success with gyms before but WESTCA has changed the game for me. I feel welcomed whenever I walk in and actually look forward to working out. Facilities are clean and the people are genuine. This gym is an absolute gem. Thank you, WESTCA! read more

The south bay's most perfect gym? Yes, I think so. On first arrival, I was warmly greeted by Paulina, who explained a little about the gym and offered a free no strings attached 7 day pass. Cool. After a few visits, this had to become my 3rd place (sorry Starbucks, you burn your beans). Westca is as much a center of community as it is a gym, thanks to the top down culture of the owners. The owners, Meaghan and Tory, are some of the nicest people you will ever meet, they know all of the members on a first name basis and warmly greet everyone. You can also find them putting in some elbow grease throughout the day, cleaning up the place, fixing things, sorting weights. Now don't get me wrong, this gym isn't everything under one roof, if you are used to super late hours, free towels, or large group spin classes, this place isn't for you. And that is OK. They have managed to strike the perfect balance between needs and desires for the type of crowd I like being associated with. Be warned though, if you have a closet full of velour Adidas track suits, you might find yourself outside the style curve here, luckily they have you covered on that front to with their own brand of in house fresh threads. I mean, they are called "West Coast Aesthetics" read more

I joined Westca 4 months ago. My fitness journey has progress greatly training with Maegs! She creates great plans and has motivated me to make progress every week! Everyone at gym makes you feel welcome. read more

I love going to this gym. Firstly, the people who go here are serious about working out and you get that vibe just by going there - it's inspiring. I've been to 24 Hour Fitness, Bally's, those fancy gyms with eucalyptus towels and nothing compares to how encouraged and empowered I feel going here. Secondly, all the staff are amazing. Any time I've needed help someone at the front desk has been able to help me move equipment or to get the supplies I need. The owners are super friendly too! Meaghan waves hi to me around the gym and Tory offers up encouraging fist bumps. Yesterday my hair tie broke and I asked at the front desk if they might keep any spare. I want to thank Yamato (hopefully name spelled correctly) for giving me one of her own hair ties and being the savior of my work out. It's just a great example of how the staff go above and beyond. I can basically never move now because I don't want to have to deal with any other gym again. Thanks for being awesome WESTCA! read more

I'm extremely happy with my decision to join Westca, I have a very demanding job that makes regular workouts challenging for me. Westca were proactive in supporting me with a program that is tailored for me. The trainers are what makes this place special! My trainer Adam goes above&beyond at helping me track my goals, he does a fantastic job at motivating, encouraging in a proactive manner & supporting my goals. I could not rate him higher! read more

I love going to work out at WESTCA. Adrian is the BEST! He really takes the time to listen to your goals and sets up a program to help your goals become reality. Plus he's got a great, upbeat attitude. read more

Westca is a clean and well-kept gym for anyone who is looking to improve themselves. There is lots of equipment (machines, barbells, dumbbells, etc.), and the vibe here is amazing. The members and the staff all know each other, and everyone is super eager to welcome newcomers to the community they have built. It is one of the few gyms that has achieved the perfect balance of serious workouts and a fun environment. I do a fair amount of traveling, and while I always enjoy all of the cool and exotic places I go, I always miss Westca when I am not home. read more

I lost 25 lbs in 3 months while training with Tory. Highly recommend Westca and training with Tory if you are trying to lose weight and trying to be fit. 5 stars Everyone is so friendly at the gym and you don't feel uncomfortable at all. It was my first time joining any gym and working out. Everyone started interacting with me from Day 1 and it was fun. read more

I've trained at a lot of gyms, and Westca is up there as one of the best. I expect every gym I go to to be clean, have lots of well-maintained equipment, and be open during the hours I work out. Westca has all of these things - but what truly sets them apart from your local 24-Hour Fitness is their culture. Tory and Meaghan (the owners, who you will certainly meet once you start working out here) are incredible people who care deeply about both their space and the progress of their members. They've struck the perfect balance between being serious about fitness and welcoming to people of all goals and skill levels. My first day working out there coincided with a fitness expo in San Jose, so there were lots of extremely fit people in the gym preparing for their events. Rather than feeling excluded or unworthy, everyone was so nice and knowledgeable that the experience motivated me to continue coming back - and now, two years later, I still am. Specifics about their equipment: - Dumbbells from 5-125 lbs. - 4 fixed benches; 2 mobile - 2 Smith machines - 2 power racks with plenty of bars - Hack squat machine - Leg press - Lots of plate-loaded machines - Several treadmills and stair machines + a stationary bike read more

This isn't just a gym it's a community of people motivating and helping each other achieve their health goals. If you need a little motivation to kickstart your health journey join Westca gym. read more

HUGE fan of this gym. My wife and I have been going to big box gyms for ages, and this place is SO much better. It's clean, well laid-out, everything is well maintained and - for us, most importantly - everyone is welcome like family. Big plus - people that go here are super serious about their training. Look to your left or right and there's a guy or gal who's in peak physical condition. And they're aspiring for more! It's motivating to be surrounded by a group that works hard at what they do. Other plus - you won't catch anyone sitting on the g*dd*mn equipment playing with their phones. Last plus - 95% of the time people rack their weights. Crazy, I know! 14/10 would recommend. read more

First and foremost, my trainer Adam is AMAZING, he pushes me to up the ante in my workout but never in a way that makes me feel unsafe or pressured. Can't recommend him enough. I also love what a diverse group of people workout there and people are super nice. Despite being busy at times, the wait to use a machine is never too bad. There's a variety of workout equipment and the place is kept clean. That said, I have had persistent billing issues that totaled to ~$3000 of overages over the 9 months my fiancé and I have been members. I'd alert staff that I was being double charged, told it was fixed, only for it to happen again. Hopefully, it is fixed for good since having an in-person meeting with the manager this month. Though tbh it was disappointing that when I inquired whether a gesture could be made for the inconvenience the manager declined-citing that she had returned the money (which is not a gesture, that's simply returning money I was rightfully owed) and that my enrollment fees had already been waived (which they were, but that was supposed to have been because of a promotion being offered at time of sign up). I totally understand mistakes happen but I just think that after being overcharged by thousands of dollars offering some sort of gesture (such as waiving the additional annual fee this January) would've been the least they could do considering the impact to my budget and the time it took me to make multiple inquiries requesting repayment. read more

Going to the gym and feeling confident in that space has always been a struggle for me, but since starting personal training at WESTCA, there's been a huge shift in mentality. I now walk into the gym ready to put in work in a safe space surrounded by an incredible community. I've been training with Maegs for awhile now and she took the time to get to know me and my goals, for my body but also for my overall wellbeing and mental health. She is respectful, caring, and is the ultimate hypewoman. Gym sessions have become something I look forward to throughout the week, and I have learned so much about the ins and outs of the different ways you can take care of your body through exercise. If you're looking for a gym to become a regular at, or looking for great trainers, I would highly recommend WESTCA! read more
