It has been a challenge for me for the last few years to get myself back into working out, I tried numerous times, paid gym membership for months and still did not do it. One day I see this ad on Facebook and something told me to check it out, so I put my info in, and I got call from Coach Darrin, few days later I convinced myself to try FitTRAC out.The first couple of days, I took 1/2 hours semi private classes, then started taking group classes, and both were great.This is not a Gym, it is a lifestyle changing experience.Started with a six weeks challenge. Not only I lost 20 lbs, but also 4% body fat, and more than 3 inches waist, so finally I am able to wear all those pants and shirts that I have not touched for years.As part of the challenge you get daily messages on their application were you start identifying what to eat and not to eat, and for me most importantly, I learned how important sleeping is, and I went from 4 hours of sleep to 7 hours of sleep, they even teach you how to sleep.So by the time I finished my 6 weeks challenge, i realized that I am addicted to this program and to this community, so I signed up for a year, and the day i do not workout, I feel something is missing.Coaches are the reason of the success of FitTRAC. They are amazing!Very helpful, knowledgeable, listen and advise, pay attention to each individual, keep changing workouts daily, actually hourly, yes believe it, constantly changing, so every workout is new and exciting.I have worked out with all the following coaches, and not once I felt that there was a bad coach.Darrin, JB, CJ, Alex, Jesus, Jia, all amazing coaches.I can keep on writing for hours, but I think I will wrap it up by saying I am so grateful for Fitrac for changing my life and making me feel 10 years younger. Also grateful for everything FitTRAC does to the community, and the donations to many great causes.I highly recommend this place, but it is not enough listening to me, you gotta try it out yourself and live this amazing experience yourself.Keep it up FitTRAC!

I joined FitTrac on a 6-week challenge.  I was very diligent about going to as many workouts as possible, and also kept track of my calories on MyFitnessPal.  I lost 12 lbs total, and reduced my body fat significantly.  I trained at the Burlingame facility, and Coach JB was always encouraging, supportive and helpful.  It is a low-key, non-judgemental setting.  The coaches are all awesome - I had interactions either in person or online with JB, Ken, Darren, Erin, John and Jesus.  Whether in person, or via text/email - they are constantly asking if there is anything they can do to help you, how you felt after the first week, etc.  Coach Jesus gave me feedback about my nutrition.  The newsletter that Coach CJ sends out is full of information that sort of cancels out the noise of all the fitness information out there.  These guys know what they are doing.  I feel stronger (I consistently upped my weight lifting PRs) and the community aspect is bar none.  I would highly recommend to anyone of any fitness level - the coaches will assess you and can modify any exercises to suit you, but also challenge you.  I am trying to continue on my progress on my own, and I miss the FitTRAC family!!  I will be forever thankful for the mindset change I had while training with FitTRAC.

The thing that struck me the most when I started with PSTI (via their Groupon) was that they really do care about you and your personal progress. Apart from being great coaches and creating fun workout experiences, every single one of them took time to learn my name; those little things make a difference. Everyone in our center (Palo Alto) was extremely welcoming and encouraging, and that sense of community is what got me up at ungodly hours in the morning till it became a habit. I was so inspired by everyone and being a member of PSTI has changed how I think about exercising--it's not just about losing weight, it's about leading a healthier lifestyle (despite the occasional fried chicken binge). I never felt as energetic and good about myself as I did after I started at PSTI. They also do a lot of community service (fundraisers, blood drives, etc.), which I appreciate a lot. It's a great community of people and I cannot recommend it enough. More...

I have been working out with PSTI for about three years now.  I started when I finished breastfeeding my last child and just couldn't lose that last 10 lbs of baby weight.  The 6 week kickoff program was a perfect way to get started, and I loved it so much that I signed on for a year.  That was three years ago now.  I have been an athlete and dancer for my whole life.  I have tried just about every form of exercise.  I have a back injury that rears it's ugly head from time to time.  I love PSTI because the work outs are different every day, so I never get bored, but my coach also is really careful about where to push me and where not to to avoid issues with my back.  I can't imagine ever doing anything else.  For those of you who think you don't have time for a regular work out routine, these workouts take no more than 45 minutes.  I am usually done between 35-40 minutes from start to finish.  Who can't find 45 minutes in their day to improve their health?  Try it, do it, love it.

I first joined PSTI about 6 years ago at their Redwood City facility and 6 years later I came back to their Burlingame facility. What made me come back? I have to say their exceptional coaching, comradery, and the best investment value you can ever do for yourself. Their tag line says it all, "Invested in your Success" and that they are! (Seriously, not to sound cheesy, but it's true, they're so good, I got my hubby and a few work colleagues to sign up with them). Sure, I lost some weight, but what I love is the strength and energy you gain from their work outs.You owe it to yourself to give them a try and be a better you! More...

I have been in/out of various gyms doing hours of cardio or group classes, or even youtube videos to save some dollars. PSTI has transformed not only my physical condition, but gave me confidence and a healthier outlook on fitness and body image. PSTI stands out to me because of their personalized coaching styles. They quickly customized exercises to accommodate various fitness levels and physical limitations. They made me feel confident when I thought I couldn't do it and even jumped in to exercise next to me for comradery! They check-in to see how you are doing after a workout and ask how they can further support you! You don't feel alone in your fitness journey, including how encouraging and supportive all the other members are for each other.   Most of all, I appreciate how personable all the coaches are. Even with a 30 min or 1 hour class, they know your name and genuinely get to know you. PSTI also provides comprehensive fitness assessments (e.g., measure body fat%) and guidance on nutrition, supplements, exercises, and stretching outside of the gym for FREE! I'm shocked that this wasn't an added service. But I can literally text a coach anytime to ask for advice. I'll sent them nutritional labels and ask if it's crap or not. They help to decipher any false health claims and offer healthier alternatives. Overall, I appreciate their availability, quick responsiveness, and expertise. You can tell they are not striving for perfection, but want to support people to engage in healthier, sustainable lifestyles even outside of their gym. Lastly, this has NOTHING to do with fitness, but shows the heart of PSTI. They are really committed to their members and the community. They host annual red cross blood drives, children's toy drive, and breast cancer research fund, which started because a past member lost her battle to cancer. They also like getting together with members for BBQs, hiking, bowling, holiday parties, etc. You can tell the coaches really care about you and make efforts to cultivate a wonderful community together. This is truly a unique gym and fitness culture! More...

Let me start off by saying g, I do not like to work out. However, 3 plus years ago I signed up at PSTI, it was a Groupon. My thoughts were , why not, I can do this for 30 days . I dragged my sister along with me. Well here we are today, still a loyal member and big fan of the circuit. I don't get bored as it is never exactly the same. My coaches Jesus and Andrew are awesome. They are tough but kind. It's a unique "boot camp " that I'm addictive too. Try it out for yourself. You won't be disappointed. More...

This review is for the Santa Clara location - I love having Coach Jon at my fingertips for questions and workout ideas! Let me tell you, I've hired and paid for more than 10 different trainers in the last 10 years,so I know when I find a great personal coach! ! Coach Jon is always positive and has a real passion for health and fitness. He never yells and only uses encouraging words to motivate you to push yourself harder! He is VERY knowledgeable and enjoys answering ALL your questions! I really enjoy the 6am bootcamp classes with him; my workouts are hard but I feel great and I'm already done for the day!!! Coach Jon is SO awesome that even after my 28-trial membership, I decided to sign up for a whole year of unlimited bootcamp!!! PSTI is the answer to my hopes and dreams; Coach Jon and myself are just the motivation to keep me focused to achieve my goals!!! Can't wait to reach my goals!!!! More...

I have worked with the team at PSTI for almost 5 years.  In fact, both my sons and my husband are clients as well.  This is a place operated by well educated athletes, who know how to get you stronger, leaner and more agile.  They have helped my kids with speed and agility and been mentors for them as they developed athletically over the past few years.  I started with PSTI about 5 years ago, as a runner with a little strength.  And LOTS of injuries.  I was so out of balance athletically.  Ken Easter changed my way of approaching fitness.  We focused on strengthening my body equally, and increasing my upper body strength, and I have been injury free for years.  I thought I was in great shape when I started with PSTI, but it turns out I had a LONG way to go to get there.  I look forward to every session and knowing that I will be stronger and leaner every time.  My husband and kids have worked with Darren over the years, and have learned so much about finding newer better limits with each exercise and training program.  I know fitness, and I have joined countless gyms over the decades.  NOTHING compares to the passion, knowledge and experts at PSTI.

I've been going to pee PSTI since January of 2017. It is by far the best fitness program I have ever been a part of. The coaches are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and always push me to go a little bit farther faster and deeper in my workouts. The result is I feel fitter than I did in high school. I especially like the variation of workouts on a day-to-day basis  you never get bored with the same old routine  since the workouts are always fresh and new. Additionally the other people who attend the workouts are very encouraging and it is very much a family-like atmosphere. More...

I signed up for the six week course, three times a week for thirty minutes each, at the Burlingame location.  The location is in a shared space with an indoor soccer facility.  It's enough space and they manage to get a lot of equipment squeezed in there.  Cameron was super flexible in scheduling the first appointment to get set up.  During that first meeting, you get weighed and measure your BMI.  You then discuss your eating habits and make commitments and identify strategies to eat healthier.  Cameron starts the expectations off so that they're attainable (e.g., if you usually eat dessert every day, then maybe only eat every other day).  Then, you're asked to do a series of movements (e.g., lunges, push-ups, etc.) to check your natural movements and how to correct them before getting started.  Each class never had more than 5-6 people, and three rounds of three different circuits. Cameron is super attentive and challenges you based on your own strengths.  So, everyone does the same exercises but perhaps with heavier weights or slight variations to make them more challenging.  I NEVER left class feeling underwhelmed... often, if need a minute or two before heading off to my car just to catch my breath.  You are guaranteed to work hard.  I never took advantage of the unlimited hour-long group classes, as the thirty minute classes were perfect for me... also, I was super sore after each class, I don't think I could have done the hourlong classes but there are many stronger people than me out there! In fact, in the class, the ladies were so strong!You get daily text messages checking in on you and the movement goals you've committed to as well as if you haven't shown up to a scheduled class. Cameron is friendly, knows when people miss a class and keeps everything feeling personalized.  I lost about 5 pounds and gained a lot of strength and visible muscle definition!  I have been able to keep the weight off and regularly attend other fitness classes now that I've built up the habit because of PSTI.  I wish I could've kept the classes up, but continuing the courses after six weeks was out of my price range. If you do best when someone keeps you accountable and doesn't let you wimp out... I often said, "I can't" with Cameron unflinchingly saying that I could, and to my surprise--I could!  I highly recommend this, especially with New Year's resolutions coming up! More...

I came upon PSTI after spending a few days researching good places to workout earlier this year. Came across their Groupon, and decided to try, and have absolutely loved it since. In the past, I have been a reluctant gym goer, making excuses, and ending up quitting in a couple of weeks. With PSTI, I look forward to going to the class every other day, and don't hesitate even for a moment to wake up early for the morning class (to make up for classes missed due to travel).  The classes are hard work - but the variety in workouts, the atmosphere, and how you feel after - makes it all enjoyable. I've really enjoyed working with Coach JB - he takes the time to explain the exercises, makes sure you are doing it right, pushes you, and works with you if you have any injuries. I wasn't looking to lose weight, but have seen improvements in stamina, strength, muscle tone, general energy levels, and even eating habits. Highly recommend PSTI, if you are looking for a new workout place that is both challenging and engaging. More...

I've been a PSTI client for approximately 9 months.Before joining PSTI my biggest struggle was going through cycles of dramatic weight fluctuations. It was really difficult for me to lose the weight and keep it off. Exercising was limited to running and I didn't have a regular exercise routine or a healthy eating habit. When I stopped running I would easily gain weight. I've tried all the different diet programs available (Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, fad diets, etc.) but none of these programs were sustainable. In 2013 when I decreased my running I eventually gained 15 pounds. I resorted to food for comfort, preferred staying at home watching TV, and avoided a social life. This impacted my mood, attitude, and motivation. I would put in the effort, start to exercise and eat healthy but wouldn't see any results. I was having a difficult time getting out of this funk until I joined PSTI. Now I am an overall happier person. I am able to enjoy running again and completed two half and one full marathons (within six month) after joining PSTI. I have regained my confidence, feel better about myself, and have a much more positive attitude in life. More...
