Oakland's best-reviewed personal training studio

I was paying for a YMCA membership across the street for over a year but never went. I walked by this building every day with my dog and one day decided to give it a shot. I've been working with two trainers for about 3 months now. I can confidently say after just a few months that I'm in the best shape of my life at 43 years old all thanks to Nick, Ada & Wyatt!

I had done some bodyweight fitness but was otherwise a totally inexperienced gym goer looking for guidance on good form. After an intro call where Nick explained the format and gym, he matched me with Ada. It's been a few months and I've been making great progress feeling stronger and more in tune with my body. She made me feel totally comfortable and supported when I told her I had no idea what I was doing.

I was looking for a reset to get in shape for my wedding and have some accountability, but also to learn new skills for the long term. Free validated parking right next to the gym is a huge bonus. Nick set me up with Ada after listening to my goals and we hit it off right away. Now I look forward to our Friday morning sessions each week.

I have been seeing Ada for about 9 months and she is the best trainer. Her ability to cue you into new exercises and connect you to the movement in your body is unmatched. I have met the goals I originally set out with when I began training and I credit that to Ada's ability to understand my needs, push me when needed, and her amazing personality.

I have prior experience with strength training but had concerns about injuring myself if I continued without support. Ada assessed my posture and movement and gave me ways to improve my form to protect me from injury. She developed a fantastic home and gym program for me to do in between sessions. I feel so much stronger and healthier since I started.

I've had a great experience at Nu Fitness, specifically with Wyatt. He has been amazing across the board, from bodyweight movements like pushups and pull-ups to building muscle through lifting. He really met me where I was in my journey and has continued to push me.
