Me in Maui on rocks
Jen A.

I was going through a rough patch in my life a few years back and then the covid-19 pandemic hit and my weight just kept going up and up. I decided enough was enough and I found Matt. After more than two years of Matt's coaching and nutritional guidance I have lost over 15 pounds and am stronger than I have been in the last 10 years!  Working out and eating right is now a non-negotiable part of my life and I have Matt to thank for that. I like how the online coaching tools keep me accountable. I am able to track my progress and see when I hit a personal record. If I have questions or need modifications, Matt is very quick to respond and update my routine. Matt is the best!

Awesome place to workout away from crowded gyms. The trainers are experienced and truly care about their clients. My favorite thing is their Tuesday/Thursday classes " Strengthen Your Life" at 5pm

Before

I started working out with Matt in May 2022. I was out of shape, my blood pressure was high, cholesterol was high, and I weighed close to 250 lbs. One year later, my blood pressure is under control, my cholesterol is down dramatically, and I weigh 200 lbs. I had previously been killing myself, doing nothing but cardio. As soon as I started doing the weight training with Matt I began to lose weight and get in shape. Matt is a great trainer, he is easy-going, and keeps things very simple. Thank you, Matt. WGWG is worth it! ‍‍‍

I've had a really positive experience training with Jimmy over the past 5 months during my…read morepostpartum recovery journey. I originally decided to work with him because my neighbor highly recommended him, and I'm so glad I did. Jimmy is both friendly and professional, and he creates a very comfortable and supportive environment. Every session feels personalized -- I usually just show up, and he already has a plan based on my progress and energy level that day. He always checks with me before increasing weights and carefully tracks my progress so we can continue improving safely over time. I also appreciate that he mixes up the exercises, machines, and workout styles so the sessions never feel repetitive or boring. What stood out to me the most was how patient and encouraging he was, especially during my first few sessions when I was tired, emotional, and honestly a little grumpy postpartum. He was always kind, understanding, and motivating. Now I feel much stronger, more energized, and more confident physically and mentally. I'm truly grateful for Jimmy's support and guidance throughout my postpartum recovery.

I have never seen anyone cleaning here, especially not the bathroom. They literally aren't fixing anything. Beyond cleanliness, this 24 is an absolute joke. 70% of the treadmills don't work, every 4th machine or bench on the floor doesn't work. 100% of the equipment has worn out leather, creaks, rattles, wobbles. It's like this gym has literally not been serviced since it opened its doors for the first time. Save yourself the time and literally do not intentionally drive yourself to this 24. What an absolute joke.

I honestly can't say enough good things about BODIED. I joined about a year and a half ago during a…read morereally difficult season in my life, and what started as a gym quickly became a place of refuge. The workouts are always challenging and never repetitive, the instructors are incredible, and the community is something special. It's full of strong, supportive baddies who genuinely cheer each other on. I've gotten stronger, built muscle (and yes, my booty has definitely grown!), but more importantly, I've built real friendships and found nothing but good female energy. I'm there 2-3 times a week and never get tired of it. BODIED has become one of my favorite places, and I can't imagine working out anywhere else.

I've been going to Bodied SJ and it's been such a great experience. The weight lifting sessions are…read moredefinitely challenging, but in the best way. I always leave class sweating and feeling like I actually pushed myself. Valeria is an amazing instructor. She really pays attention and takes the time to correct your form and technique, which I genuinely appreciate a lot. It makes you feel supported while also ensuring you're doing things safely and effectively. I used to lowkey dread going because of how tough the workouts are, but realized that I need to change my mindset and keep it consistent. I eventually grown to enjoy it. It's one of those places that pushes you out of your comfort zone in a good way. If you're like me and know yourself that you'd slack off or something at another gym (lol), coming here would make a huge difference due to the structure and coaching. Would recommend if you're looking for a challenging but rewarding workout.

I can't say enough great things about Mike and FIT60! Mike is incredibly kind, attentive, and…read morepatient. He genuinely cares about making sure you're doing each exercise correctly and is always willing to help and correct your form. His classes are intimate, thoughtfully planned, and never feel repetitive or random. You can tell Mike truly understands the purpose and benefits of each exercise, and he knows how to push you to challenge yourself while still making you feel supported. I only wish I lived closer! I'm only able to make it to FIT60 every few months, but every time I go, I'm reminded of what a great trainer Mike is. If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping you do your best, I highly recommend Mike and FIT60!

Mike has designed it to be a 7 day program that targets all the essential aspects of healthy living if you can go everyday. MWSa are the strength days, TTh are the core days, F is a HIIT day, and Su isn't a stretch/mobility day. I typically just do the MWSa classes, so my review is based on those classes. HIGHLIGHTS: - 8 stations that target most major movements: squat, hip hinge, thruster, biceps/triceps, upper body push and pull - programs change every 4 weeks so it doesn't get boring and your muscles don't plateau - great community: everyone is friendly and happy to help! There is a wide range of ages and strength levels so no one feels out of place. - clean: everyone wipes down their equipment after each exercise STANDOUTS: - Mike pays close attention to everyone's form, especially those who are newer to exercise and/or need more guidance. - He offers modifications if the movements are painful TIPS: to maximize the benefits of the workouts - Make sure you work on your form outside of class if you're struggling - Make sure you're getting enough protein in your diet (+ water and sleep) - Focus more on form than weight. - Focus your goal on building strength, function, and longevity more than weight loss. You will see progress! 10/10 would recommend!

I highly recommend UFC FIT Oakridge. It is, by far, one of the best values for a gym in San Jose…read more The facility has excellent equipment, and everything is clean, well-maintained, and in great condition. What really sets this gym apart, though, is the culture. It combines a serious fitness environment with a fight-culture mentality that creates a unique atmosphere where competitive, motivated people come to train hard, improve themselves, and support one another. I've trained at several gyms over the years, and I've experienced plenty of places with worn-out equipment, poor maintenance, and less-than-sanitary conditions. UFC FIT Oakridge is completely different. The facility is constantly being cleaned and maintained throughout the day, and it shows. There's a great mix of people who genuinely want to train, get stronger, improve their conditioning, and push themselves. At the same time, there's a strong sense of camaraderie and peer support that makes you want to keep coming back. For the quality of the equipment, cleanliness, maintenance, and overall training culture, I honestly don't think you can find a better value in San Jose. **Highly recommended--UFC FIT Oakridge is a great place to train.**

While the gym community and recovery amenities are great, the training and sports therapy services…read morewere deeply disappointing. After six months and thousands of dollars invested, I walked away from eight paid sessions and canceled my membership because the environment became completely unworkable. My strongest warning is about the sports therapy. Toward the end, the massages were barely therapeutic at all. There was little targeted treatment, technique, or effort to address the areas causing me pain. At times, it felt like someone was simply moving their hands over my body to fill the session rather than actually treating. I repeatedly left without meaningful relief. The experience became so uncomfortable and degrading that it began to feel almost ritualistically humiliating rather than therapeutic. Combined with repeated boundary issues and conduct I found profoundly unprofessional, I could no longer justify continuing. For this price, there are far better options throughout the Bay Area for competent, professional therapeutic care.
