Thanks

Check out SWEAT on Solano in Albany or on College in Rockridge. The personal training there is awesome and the classes often feel like a group personal training session. I've been a regular there for almost two years and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in.

Jonathan Devoto is a fantastic trainer. He's really smart, kind, encouraging and knows how to train so you don't get injured (which is hard to

find in a trainer). His specialty is corrective exercises to heal from injury. He TOTALLY helped me heal my

injured shoulder. I can't more highly recommend him.

Good luck

I have a great trainer! She specializes in women of more than 40 years old. I have been with her for more than 3 years. It is totally worth it to go to San Leandro, her studio is by Dutton St, next to 580....

I highly recommend Michelle Gordon-Canning. Her website is: http://findingyourstrong.com/

She was my trainer in the past. I love the lady. Isabel Sanchez C.

Parand Behbahani. She's in Kensington. Top-notch personal trainer, no-nonsense, has a great sense of how to keep it new so you're not bored and how to increase the challenge when you're ready to move it up a notch. Plus she has a heart of gold. I dropped 3 dress sizes over a year of working with her and got much more fit. 415-583-4102.

My trainer is Zechariah Whittington, 510 417 9224.  His studio is near Target, by the highway.  He is fantastic, incredibly well educated about physiology and the like.  He works with my retired husband, my 23 year old son, and I began with him when I was home-bound with a broken leg.   He does different exercises for each of us because we all have different needs, strengths, weaknesses.  The more sessions you purchase in advance, the cheaper they are.  So I bought the largest package and it's basically $65 per session.  A friend of mine referred him to me; her daughters see him as well.  He's a terrific person, super responsible and a great guy.  

I love my trainer, Pam from www.pamgfitness.com

If you are a woman, I strongly recommend Parand Behbahani who works out of her home studio in Kensington (she can also travel to your house). I have been working with her for a couple years and really enjoy it! she's professional, funny, and very good at what she does.
