I've been working with Joe Ruiz as a personal trainer now for 6 months. It's been life changing for me. Joe and his trainers are very skilled at crafting full body workouts that push you to your limit without injury. I've seen continual improvement in my health and it's given me so many benefits: better energy and cognition at work, reduced stress, greatmuscle toning and weight loss. Joe is always focussed on how to keep the workouts fun and challenging while developing muscles I didn't even know I had! I'm very grateful for the work they do to improve the health and outlook for people in the east bay. They are a local treasure that I can recommend without hesitation! More...

I joined the XFit Training family back in July 2015 and I'm still here! I showed up out of shape and unsure if I would ever make fitness a lifestyle. I started personal training with Joe a few times a week at a pace and schedule I could work with. After a few months Joe talked me into trying a boot camp out - I was ready. It was hard... I'm not going to lie! But everyone is so nice and open here. NEVER are you pushed to do anything you do not feel comfortable doing and you are not expected to be as good as anyone else. All the trainers are informative, encouraging and friendly in a non-competitive atmosphere. In 2017 XFit Training signed up as a team (optional) for a Spartan Sprint Race. Never in a million years would I expect to push my limits this far. But I did it with the help from the trainers and my boot camp team. My 17 year old son even decided to join and loves it! Compared to other programs out there you can't beat the training price, knowledge, friendliness and support that you get here! I am now a happier, leaner and more balanced individual.To Joe, Kirsten, Derrick & Becky - Thank you! More...

First time doing a group workout and getting away from the typical gym scene/routine. Let me just say all of the coaches/trainers are great and they provide great training regardless of your fitness level. I never thought I would be able to be in the shape that I am in now and through these workouts have trained muscles that have never gotten attention before and have learned to push myself to limits I never even knew I had! I would definitely recommend! More...

I've been training with Joe and the other trainers for a few months now. It has been perfect for me as I came in severely out of shape and a lot was new to me. As a former athlete (over 20 years ago!) I like that as I get in better shape I can adjust at my own pace and push harder when I feel like it. More...

I am so glad I discovered XFit Training. Joe, Kersten, and Becky are absolutely fantastic trainers -- striking a perfect balance between kicking your butt and supporting you at your own pace. I've been going for over three months now and I've never had the same workout twice. I also enjoy the camaraderie of the other XFit participants. Everyone is committed to their workout but no one is taking themselves too seriously. Definitely no "meatheads" here. But don't get the wrong idea -- this is a REAL workout. And I actually look forward to getting up at 5:30am for it! More...

XFit workouts are varied, fun, and structured so that every individual can rock it at their own fitness level. Joe and the other coaches are great motivators and knowledgable. This is a no judgement, no intimidation, bootcamp-style workout with a friendly group of people. Plus, you get to be outside in good weather AND there are a variety of class times (as a non-morning person, I thank you so much for offering evening classes!). For us it's been a great way to start getting back into shape and to meet some folks in the community while doing something together. This is totally unlike a drab, boring treadmill routine in some stinky gym. Try it; you'll like it! More...

I found this group after looking for a person trainer earlier this year.  I was tired of trying to kick my own behind in the gym and needed some new ideas and inspiration.  I found them on yelp and decided to check it out because of the awesome location and the early class times make it so I can knock out a workout and still make it to work.  I have to say that my body feels better than ever after just a month of going 2 to 3 times per week.  I have lived with some chronic pain over my life and the combination of the workouts and warm-ups/stretching have really improved my flexibility and I have had zero pain even through some pretty vigorous workout sessions.  I am already noticing it in other areas of my life when I go hiking or play other sports.Everyone in the class is awesome and of course Joe and Max are great and make it fun.  They pay attention and make sure everyone is comfortable and scaling to their own ability.  So glad I found it.

Joe and Max have been amazing! I love XFit. The work outs are always fun, never stale. They are always helpful and caring about what someone can or can't do. They are helpful with supporting people and their goals. They offer one on one support and are 100% supportive when in the group setting. I love that they also push you a little further every time. They cheer you on when you need it and they are the first to express, well, when you need to hold back a little! LOL Did I mention how affordable they are? The drop in price and monthly rate beats anyone I have seen yet, and I'm a local gal! I really can't say enough great things about them. Wonderful team! More...

XFit Bootcamp is pretty EPIC!!!  My sister actually sent me to bootcamp for a month for my birthday this year and it was the best gift ever!  I've attended a couple of other bootcamps in the past and I have to say that XFit Bootcamp is the VERY BEST.  I recently moved to El Cerrito and finding this gem 3 minutes from my house is AWESOME.  I go to the 5:30am classes during the week and the Saturday 7am class with MAX (3 times a week).  I've been going to class for about 7 weeks now and I've been sore (a good sore - where you know you're body is changing) every day since I started.  This is pretty phenomenal because it means we work different areas of the body, class to class, so you get the maximum benefit.  MAX IS AWESOME!!  He is the perfect blend of hardcore and sensitive to your individual needs.  He is very attentive and makes sure you are doing the work but having fun.  This is a tall order at 5:30am but he is great at it!!  I look forward to going to bootcamp every time.  If I could go every day, I would!

Great community of people from all fitness levels and very welcoming. Athletic workouts include stretching, cardio, and strength training; but do not forget to include drills to improve balance. The variety in different stations (bosu ball, kettle bells, etc.) and in the type of workouts (hard cardio, athletic, tabata, etc) keep me coming back. Working out regularly has greatly improved my endurance and balance. XFit Training keeps you motivated! Feel the burn. Love the burn. Not quite love. More...

A self-described dispassionate individual and one who is not easily impressed, I would like to give credit where credit is due on my first review. Joe and his talented trainers have done the impossible by wowing me with their workouts. I was unsure of what to expect prior to attending my first boot camp. While in attendance, I found the routines to be challenging and differed by trainer. All were patient, motivating, and correcting. Their routines varied, emphasized quality over quantity, and tested all of my muscle groups. In a very reasonable period of time, I have seen dramatic yet favorable changes in my energy level along with desirable physical transformations.Absolutely recommended! More...

I've been attending XFit Training for about nine months, and can totally see and feel a difference in my fitness level.  I've never thought I had much in the way of natural athletic ability, but at XFit Training all the trainers are extremely supportive and encouraging.  They find a way to motivate you to maximize each workout to each individual, so that you're only trying to better yourself, and not compete with others.  The outdoor locations are great places to work out, and there are enough options of times during the week that you can make it work with any schedule.  I previously had gym memberships, did Zumba (which I still love), and ran, but never have I felt my level of fitness that I do now having been attending XFit.  If you want to improve your health and fitness in a warm, encouraging environment, XFit is for you!

I've been working out with Joe & Max since January 2014, and I'm definitely loving it!My concern about any workout program is that they all kind of "recycle" the workout, not only your body plateau after a while, you also get bored - at least I do!  Joe & Max always change up the workout and make sure that we're challenged, both physically and mentally!  I work out 3 times a week with them at their morning bootcamp.  This schedule is perfect for me - I have no excuse that the workout is in my way!The best reward - 2 weeks ago, I bought a new dress for an upcoming bachelorette party in Vegas.  When I tired it on, my husband immediately noticed, "Wow!  Look at your toned arms!"Thank you, Joe & Max!

What can I say about Coach Joe and X-Fit besides how awesome it has been for me and helping me get motivated to exercise.  After I had my daughter my desire to go to the gym was a zero, so I bought myself a Spinning Stationary bike for the house ...I have only been on it 6 times. Working out at home was not a good option for me. I finally tried X-Fit with Joe and I'm hooked! Joe puts together a great work out and drives you to want to do better for yourself. It's a small group which I also like; everyone is so nice and supportive of each other. I think the word "Boot Camp" can be so intimidating and I the Boot Camps I've seen look like torture. Joe's X-Fit is not a boot camp in that sense, it's a fantastic, exhilarating workout with friends that is totally "Doable". Don't get me wrong you feel the BURN ... but in a good way. More...

If you're looking for a regular people's Bootcamp with a knowledgeable coach and a really fun atmosphere, you should totally check out X-Fit. Joe is awesome. He brings out all the tools, busts out the boombox and energetic tunes, and he somehow makes working out a fun activity you actually look forward to. The regular crew is quite welcoming and it's an easy process to get started.The workouts change quite a bit from week to week. Same stretches, but a good amount of variation. There is lots of encouragement and good peer pressure. No yelling or competition. You'll come to hate some of the exercises cause they are so damn hard, but you'll get better fast and you'll notice the difference and you'll keep coming back.Unfortunately we had to move and I miss it a lot so I'm here supporting a great fitness program for others who might benefit. Give it a go. Totally worth your time. More...
