Find a Personal Trainer in Palo Alto

I first started working with Flavien to help me with a range of core strength and mobility issues that were a result of a vexing spinal injury. In the 2.5 years since, I have been amazed by my progress -- not only in my strength and flexibility but I've also lost 15 pounds. Flavien's approach is warm and empathetic but driven by a keen scientific approach and careful analysis. One of the things that most impresses me is his continual drive for new knowledge: he is always studying, reading and attending seminars to increase his expertise in anatomy, nutrition and kinesthesiology. I would highly recommend Flavien to anyone seeking real results and lasting change in their wellness and health.

Very healthy. Good selection of well balanced equipment.

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 have been taking Z-Health classes here with Eva Scott. She is so knowledgeable and really has been helping me with movement, vision and balance. Really interesting approach to personal training. Cutting edge techniques used by professional athletes. Would definitely recommend trying it.

I have had a very bad experience with the Zumba Certification process. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. First off, you are not told about the additional 2.5k per month to keep your certification valid until after you have registered with your registration fees. The Registration fee is paid in INR, but when it comes to getting a refund, they refund in USD. This not only leads to an immediate loss based on exchange rate and bank charges, but it comes to be lesser than their promised refund amount. Not to mention problems with the bank that expects you to get refunded in the same currency that you paid in. Even though they have mentioned about the cancellation charges, they are ridiculous to charge you for doing absolutely nothing. Given the classes kept getting pushed back due to Covid, but with nothing concrete set up, charging me to cancel was uncalled for. This was a horrible customer experience and I would not suggest this to anyone. Mainly for the cancellation fiasco and also because of the upkeep of certification fee which just feels like a rip off.

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.
