RACES: Survivor Mud Run 2012 TESTIMONY: "My sister and I have been working out here for two month now and we absolutely love it here. All the trainers are super friendly and Tai, the owner is very accommodating. I had my doubts about training with a personal trainer because I always thought they would all be hard core army style training. But, I was very surprised to see that they tailor the training program to meet your needs, and achieve your work out goals. We train with Maggie, and I personally think she's awesome. She's very personable and encouraging. She knows how to push you when she knows you can go a little bit further, but helps you or gives you alternatives when you insist that you can't. My ultimate goal for working out was mainly to get more toned and build muscles, and I honestly felt the difference after the 2 months I had working with Maggie. Not only does the gym offer great work out regimes, they also have diet plans for you to follow if your goal is to lose weight and body fat (which I have also tried, and found very effective). In a nutshell, I would recommend this gym without hesitation!" ... Louisa ~~~~~ "I've been a member of 24 for-EVER (over 1/2 my life) and needed something new to kick my a$$ into wedding dress shape. After looking up reviews, this was first on my list. I signed up that day because: - Tai returned my call after a couple hours and I visited that day - Clean facility, towels and water provided - Variety of trainer experience (like an A-Team) - Training packages - Success stories on the website I picked Maggie as my trainer because she'd know what I was talking about when I'd say I have Hip Hop or Salsa class... not to say the other guys don't dance (it just isn't on their profile). I'm on my 5th week of training and I'm glad I signed up because I don't believe I'd get to my goals on my own. I've completed marathons, an olympic tri, and all gym group classes but Sunnyvale Fitness helped me figure out what I wasn't doing. 1. Nutrition - Maggie and Joey looked at my meals and saw that I had to change them to get to my goal on time. 2. Accountability - Maggie asks me what I eat since I last saw her, but if I mess up, I'm just motivated to make better choices the next day 3. Variety - I get bored easily so she changes up the exercises. They also have a bunch of other stuff I can do like boot-camp, volleyball, golf, run events, etc. (see website) 4. Mentoring -At first I planned to work out 3-4 hours/day, which I found out would be very bad because I'd be over-training, which would lead to burnout, then not working out. During the peak hours, there's maybe 4 or so trainers working and if someone has a question, they ask each other advice so I'm not just getting the knowledge of 1 person, but the whole team. Also, their location is excellent because before or after training, I can jog, take a nearby cycle or yoga class or stop by Fry's. Right before my wedding, I know I'm going to have my own success story because my abs are still sore from training 3 days ago." ... Orliy
