Bay Area Trainer

Devin is a fantastic group trainer who has a talent for devising interesting workouts suitable for all fitness levels. He takes care to correct your form so that you remain safe and also get the most out of each exercise. The modified exercises for beginners are very challenging for me and I always feel as though I’ve accomplished something meaningful in the pursuit of good health at the end of each session. Cannot endorse this program enough!

I have been coming to Bay Area Trainer for about 5 months now. I get to have a one on one training session with Dean once a week and then go to the boot camps offered and I have seen the best result! I have worked out for over 20 years and never felt this good! Dean is the best trainer with so much knowledge of what my body needs to sculpt it and Devin who leads the boot camps pushes me past what I think my limits are! The combination of the two plus with the added bonus of help with meal plans has me feeling and looking better than I ever have! Highly recommend!

Dean is an exceptional trainer. I’ve worked with him for about a year and a half and it’s helped me in many ways. I have arthritis, tendinitis and other issues due to a lifetime of being overweight. Dean is great about keeping me motivated and helping me work around my pain issues. He pushes me but is always respectful of my limitations, something other trainers I had in the past did not do (and I would end up injured). My strength, flexibility, stamina and balance have all improved greatly. I feel & look better at 59 than i have in many years. His knowledge and support are top notch and he keeps workouts fresh & interesting so I never get bored.

I recently signed up for the 36-​session package to get the best rate and have to say I have no regrets in doing so.
I am currently on the fifth week with Dean, who is a knowledgeable, motivational and understanding personal trainer. He is absolutely fantastic to work with not only because of his training knowledge and personality but also his lifestyle guidance to achieve the best fitness result.
Best trainer in the area!

I found him totally by accident. I’m over weight & terribly out of shape. In 10 sessions I’ve noticed a difference. He is a fantastic trainer & a very nice person. He creates workouts that work for ME. He is very accommodating & is willing to work with me on a schedule that works for both of us. He’s NEVER flaked or forgotten about me. If he’s had an earlier time slot he will call & see if I’d like to come in earlier. I plan on staying with him for a very long time. I highly recommend him. His prices are very reasonable too!!!

Dean is great and will get you amazing results! This review is way long overdue as I used him in 2007 before he had his own gym at the current Martinez location. Not only was I paying for a 24 Hour Fitness monthly membership but I also had to pay for a membership where Dean would train, but that no longer applies as the hourly fee is included with the current gym location in Martinez. So today’s pricing is better overall!
I always paid 2 months in advance and that forced me to commit to the training as well as offering a better per hourly deal.
After 10 months of training with Dean, I lost 10 pounds and got in the best shape of my life. I actually had ‘side abs! I trained with Dean 3 days a week and played soccer on Sundays while still enjoying my regular Coca Cola and chocolate nearly every day… I was still able to lose the weight. Had I been able to increase my cardio another day per week and reduced my sugar intake, my results would have been sooner.
Dean will give you a before and after body fat test, an overall analysis, as well as give you nutritional recipes to try while you’re training to give you faster results.
Bay Area Trainer works!!!

I trained with Dean for about a year and a half. He was going to school and I was working so the times did have to be adjusted to what was going on in both of our lives. When we agreed on training times and he did not come TWICE, I could tell I was not a very valued client. When I asked for a refund on money that I had paid him, he text me that I was difficult and he was glad to get rid of me. This is what you will get if you train with him.

I have been training with Dean for over 5 years. It’s never boring and I appreciate that Dean is a nationally certifited trainer. Some of the «trainers» at the gym have obviously not taken classes. I want to do the exercises correctly and not get injured! Dean is very motivational and I am so glad he’s been my trainer for so long!

Dean is fantastic ! I have been a bit over weight all my life. I have had other trainers but none compare to him ! He is patient and he really listens to your concerns and can answer all your questions. He makes you feel really comfortable and is MOTIVATING ! He has kept me motivated through the years and YES I have kept the weight OFF ! Dean is affordable and when you are dealing with your health you need the BEST ! Thank You DEAN !
