Find a Personal Trainer in Menlo Park

Results matter. In training, results matter a lot. Cara Nguyen helped me get real results, for the first time in my 30-year-long war with obesity. Like many of us with weight or metabolism issues, it's been a lifetime battle: I've been thin (losing 120 lbs in my youth) and I've been very obese (topping out at 360 lbs). A comprehensive list of things I have tried would go for literal pages: diet, exercise, nutritional supplements, drugs-- in every variation and combination you can imagine. Cara got me results (down almost 30 lbs, this morning) with a reasonable, healthy approach to diet and exercise. I appreciated her gentle approach: she was never heavyhanded when checking in on me, nor did she shame me for a dietary slip up. Her exercise regimen has been very approachable, which is saying something after a decade inactive at a desk. A really sweet and caring professional that will figure out a personalized diet and exercise program that works for you-- even if you've done it all before and not had the success you wanted. This could be your time.

Amazing place. Not only a gym, but a lifestyle. Amazing coaches, and wonderful community.

I have been thinking to start working out to shape up my body but could not have chance especially due to covid. I thought It may be good idea to start with someone who can guide me for work out because it is sometimes hard to do it by your own without deep knowledge and motivation. So, I started searching trainers close to my address and I was able to find Max with really good reviews. I contacted and he replied quickly. We set up some time to discuss how he plans workout for his clients. He initially did couple sessions to understand where I am and then provided me a lot of information if I want to do work out sessions with him. What I liked most was he knows what is doing not only for weight lifting but also nutrition and other required movements for the body. I signed up and have been enjoying my progress so far. He designed the sessions for my goal and he guides me setting up new goals once I reach them. It is only 6-7 weeks and I go to 3 times a week, but I already started feeling the change. He is challenging me every time and also motivating to keep up the hard work. He also closely watch how I perform and when he feels that I have problem with a training, he quickly finds a solution for me to fix the problem such as stretching special parts of the body and so on. He also keeps good conversation during the training and you would not feel bored at all. We not only work for muscle weight also work for balance, strength, movement, endurance and so on.

I've trained with Andre multiple times per week over the past year. He is fun to work with and I've made many improvements in my strength training by working with him regularly. I am now able to do exercises I didn't previously have the strength to do like chin-ups, heavy squats, and deadlifts. Thanks Andre!

I choose Darryl as my CFI and used him through my Private Pilot License (PPL). Darryl is a career flight instructor and knows his stuff inside and out. It took me about 6 months to get my license and I would fly with Darryl an average of twice a week. I am not a particularly good student and am a difficult "customer" - Darryl was patient with me and very encouraging. I coach wrestling and I see that Darryl has the qualities of a great coach - he will honey drip you when you do well - and immediately point out where you messed up. In fact, he builds to his curriculum mini-tests that you are almost guaranteed to mess up, as instructional opportunities. What I found particular about Darryl is his expert risk assessment ability. While training Darryl clearly knows where his students are and lets his students go right up to the "line" when practicing their skills. I found the ability for me to use my judgement in taking calculated risks around weather, airports, and routes was essential in my ability to operate under my own license. I found that while Darryl is perhaps one of the most expensive flight instructor in the area, I feel that it was worth it. He is dedicated to his student's success, is very organized, and flexible. I felt pushed the right amount and was never uncomfortable. I learned quickly with Darryl and felt I was well prepared for my PPL checkride.
