Elite Training Center

Great Gym! Great people! I started two years ago and couldn’t do one sit up. Paul was great coaching me to build strength and endurance. People are always saying they want to support small local businesses. Here is your opportunity, with great trainers and a great program you can’t go wrong!

Amazing staff, friendly people in class and a really fun high energy atmosphere. After 3 classes I am sold and get excited thinking about the next time I get to go back.
There are organized workouts for each class and very experienced trainers/​teachers who guide you and make sure you do each move correctly. It is intense, but I never feel pushed out of my comfort zone or unsafe. I can tell I am getting a full body work out and finally feel like I have found the place that will help me reach my goals.

If you are serious about getting into shape, spending an hour to get a full body work-​out that includes strength and cardio, then Elite is for you. I have been attending classes for 2 years now and am in the best shape of my life. The instructor’s are awesome, they motivate and instruct well. You can move at your own pace and adjust exercises if you have physical limitations. The bottom line is that you get out of it what you put in. The workouts are alway’s changing and never boring. I would highly recommend.

Love Elite! I joined almost a year ago and love everything about it. The owner and trainers are all super friendly. I had really bad form and was intimidated with weights in the beginning. They help and explain exercises to you during the workout. There can be a lot of people in a class depending on the time you go, but it’s not a mass class. Trainers will come around and help you during the workout. The workout is usually a mix of weights/​strength training, cardio and boxing.
My husband was an avid runner and now he comes to Elite instead. Better workout and he has really toned up and got super motivated with working out.
If you are serious about working out and pushing yourself then this is the gym for you.

I have never been so disappointed in a facility. The staff is very disorganized with new members and scheduling for classes. I was told my free trial pass would allow me to sign up for any class I wanted, and one worker told me I was ready to go for a 5:30 class on Friday via email. When I called to confirm on that Friday, the man I spoke to on the phone told me what she did was incorrect. Specifically, he said I wouldn’t be capable enough to try a normal R12-​fit class because I am a newcomer. What he didn’t ask me was my actual fitness level and experience in the gym. I am a serious, competitive powerlifter, but I’m sure because I sound like a little girl on the phone, he assumed my voice was an indicator of my capability. He spoke to me in such a sexist and condescending way, and I felt incredibly insulted by this behavior. Just from one phone call, I could tell this gym is not suitable for everyone because of the judgmental mindset of the male workers. I highly would not recommend to anyone looking for a welcoming community.

Trial experience:
Walked in, and no one was at the front desk. The man who was supposed to be working the front was sitting in the back of the gym doing something on his phone. When someone finally got his attention he was friendly and got me signed up. Aside from him being on his phone the whole time, he seemed like a nice trainer. Unfortunately he wasn’t the one teaching the class.
R-​12 Boxing Class:
Good workout. But not much guidance. Coach for my trial class was inexperienced and kept making mistakes that the other coach had to correct him for. There wasn’t any technique pointers so I couldn’t tell if I was doing the moves correctly and by looking around… the other members were kind of just doing whatever they thought was correct (each different).
What I didn’t like about the class the most was the lack of stretching and warmups. Everything just kind of felt all over the place and disorganized. I understand they want to incorporate a little bit of everything… but they need to put a little more strategy into it. I was sore after the class, which was good… but in a very tight and sluggish way. There was nothing to counteract DOMS.

Elite is a great gym with passionate, helpful, and motivating trainers who make working out fun and challenging. Day in, day out these trainers will push you to work a little harder and cheer you on during your fitness journey. Paul is the man behind this whole place, he is friendly and an awesome trainer. He knows his stuff and loves what he does, you can see this everyday through the gym he runs. Nick is another amazing trainer at Elite who will expect you to dig a little deeper and encourage you along the way. Sean is the quiet guy but means business when it comes to workouts. At the end of each workout you will walk away tired but feeling better and stronger. I love this gym and will be back for more once I finish school.

I’ve been on the hunt for a gym since I’ve relocated to the Bay Area. When I saw the heavy bags at this facility, I thought Elite might just be the place for me. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to sign up for a membership because they still don’t have the onsite childcare room (which I told was coming soon a few months ago). The only thing I didn’t care for with their kickboxing class is that it’s about 75% weights/​crossfit style exercises. I don’t mind mixing it up but would prefer a class that is more kickboxing/​boxing focused and only about 25% misc. exercises. Other than that, it’s a great workout and cool little gym. Would have loved to sign up but I’m a single mama and need a place with childcare.

I bought a Groupon and called to register and let them know that I would be attending on Monday (03/​23/​2015). I didn’t know what to expect as the description of the boot camp does not give it justice. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed my workout. I forgot the trainers name but he was cordial and instructed me on the process. unfortunately I could not attend this morning, but I will be there tomorrow and the rest of the week. I will post a more thorough review once my Groupon has ended but I think it you are looking for a place to burn some calories and change up your routine, this is a good place to start!

The Elite facility and its staff are top notch. Everyone is friendly, motivational and supportive. My son and husband both attend different classes weekly, and I use the personal training facility. Elite provides a variety of options for your fitness goals, in a safe, clean and well organized facility. The owner is extremely knowledgable and knows what it takes to get results. Many of the patrons and the employees interact like they are family… You feel the friendly, welcoming vibe right away and will look forward to coming in for your work outs!

friendly staff

Love this place! Paul and jimmy are amazing trainers. Motivating, friendly, ruthless, and knowledgable. I wish they had an afternoon class (around 12 – 1) … But other than that, no complaints

Paul was very kind to accommodate my husband and I when the boot camp next door flaked on us. Great full body workout!

Tryed my first class today. I met Alex, Nick and Vanessa. All great employees and very helpful. Nick taught my class and he was very helpful on explaining to me on how the class was going to go. He spent a little more time with me since it was my first class on lifting properly and boxing abilities. Very motivated to continue my trial membership and they can count on me to sign up for more training. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow’s class will bring.

Love this place! Best workout I’ve ever had!!!
I honestly feel like the staff really encourage you to push yourself and get results!!!

In anticipation of my wedding in two months, I put my standard wait-​forever-​for-​a-​machine gym membership on hold but after two weeks at Elite I’ve decided to drop it all together. Paul and his incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff give you an insane workout that is way safer then Crossfit but its the closest thing to it that I could fathom doing. No matter your age or size you will get amazing results from this program, especially the BodyBlast Boxing workout he’s created which allows individuals to tailor workouts to their strength. These guys make it a point to get to know everyone and make them feel welcome, which as we all know is a huge plus in the otherwise can-​be intimidating gym atmosphere. 5 stars no question!

GREAT place to work out! I’m 3 boot camps into my trial and I decided to sign up today. So far, I’ve only had Kyle as an instructor. He’s great – he keeps you working, motivated, and the time flies by. My body is aching in a good way and I’m actually looking forward to my next class. Never felt this way at my old gym. This place is great for anyone who wants to step it up!

My friend found this place through Groupon. 10 classes for $ 20 or 20 classes for $ 35, if I had a chance I would repurchase the Groupon for 20 classes.
If you are reading this because you see this deal on Groupon, you MUST PURCHASE IT. At least purchase the 10 class one, if not the 20 class deal.
The Groupon is valid for 3 classes (strength & conditioning, boxercise, kickboxing fitness) We tried the boxercise and kickboxing fitness class. You have to have your own boxing gloves or you can rent them for $ 5. I would recommend purchasing the gloves that they have available at the center for $ 35. The gloves are very durable and provide much more padding than the Everlast gloves I purchased for the same price at big5.
Onto the actual classes… these classes are FANTASTIC. They are so much more interactive, fun, and private compared to the classes I’ve taken at my regular gym. The instructors (Paul Mike, etc. there are many) are so motivating and truly interested in helping you achieve your fitness goals.
The boxercise class included running, jump roping, squats, mountain climbers, burpees, BOXING (which I am in love with now. even though I am still not very good), lunges, deadlifts, etc. I would say this class has more weight training than the kickboxing class.
The kickboxing class includes all the above and more. (mainly kickboxing) This class has more cardio than the boxercise class.
My flab has been TRANSFORMED. Flabby arms be gone !!! I am 10xxx toner than I have been in years, and am so much stronger.
I still weigh the same (because I was not trying to lose weight, just become more tone)
This class is not for girls who like to walk leisurely on the treadmill, or whom don’t like sweating a drop at the gym. This class is also not for people (mainly girls) whom refuse to use weights because they are scared of becoming «manly» or «too muscular» whatever that means. There is a wide range of body types /​ages here, so you won’t feel out of place.
There are many other classes here, but the Groupon deal isn’t valid for them. The Groupon ALSO waives the registration fee which is $ 79 or $ 99? Concurrent monthly payments range.
P. S. You must eat before this class (even if just a banana or orange) many times I felt very faint because I didn’t eat enough.
P. S.S. what your still reading??? GO BUY THE DAMN GROUPON

Best boxer size class ever

I started working out at Elite in Mid-​September of last year. I could barely make it through half of the kickboxing class, and wondered if I was just being too ambitious in going to this class. I decided to stick with it. I started out going to only 2 classes a week, but quickly worked my way up to 4 – 5 classes a week. I have gone from 309lbs to 259lbs in a little over 3 months. I feel amazing, and the results speak for themselves. I am addicted to going every night, and I hate missing a workout.
No matter what your fitness level is, Elite is a conducive, and encouraging environment to work on your fitness goals. If you are unable to do any of the moves or exercises, you can modify until you are able to. Everyone in the classes are friendly, and encouraging. The instructors are always expecting more, and pushing for you to give more in the classes. It shows that they care, and they want you to succeed. I have thrived within this environment and I know that many others have as well.
Bottom line, this is an amazing COMMUNITY of people, working hard to achieve results, lose weight, tone up, get in shape, BE CONFIDENT and FEEL AMAZING!
Don’t spend the rest of your life wondering if you can do it. Start NOW because you can.
See you in class :)
