Annah Hayes

I have been working out with Annah for over a year and highly recommend her as a personal trainer. She is very knowledgeable in many different types of workouts and will custom tailor a regimen for you that will get you results. Every workout is different, so it never gets boring. One day we might do lifting, and the next cardio/​circuit training, etc. It’s not completely random though — as mentioned Annah designs the workouts with your current abilities and goals in mind, whether it’s building muscle, weight loss, or training for a marathon.
Annah has a warm and funny personality, so spending time with her is very easy. I very much recommend her if you’re looking for personal training.

Annah is a great trainer and a fun person to be around. She makes the hard work of training more enjoyable. The workouts are always unique and challenging! I would recommend Annah to people of all fitness levels. Since working out with Annah I feel great. I am much more toned, had increased stamina, and became a better runner. I even worked out with Annah through most of my pregnancy and she adapted everything to keep fit and healthy.

Annah is top notch. Really. She is a stellar educated and certified fitness trainer with an amazing work ethic who has literally transformed my body & mind. I started working with Annah six months (and 40+ lbs) ago when she came in, assessed my fitness level, helped me set goals and built a program tailored just for me. Simply put, she got the job done.
Annah will push you past your comfort level – and will give you customized workouts to do on your own. Your «homework» as she calls it. They will get progressively harder, but the results show, and they show fast and it is SO worth it! Trust me. She will also provide necessary guidance on reaching your goals and will educate you about strength training, cardio and nutrition. She’ll help you track your progress and will give you a reason to show up at the gym each week.
If you have a specific medical problem, injury or condition, I can guarantee she has the knowledge and education in most if not all areas and will work with you. Your health is her main concern. You can text/​email her any time — if you are at the grocery store and have a nutritional question or say your shoulder is sore and you’re not quite sure if you should ice or put heat to it. Annah is a great listener; she will listen closely to what you say and will make sure she understands your goals, wants and needs. There are so many statements she has made just in casual conversation that I’ve kept with me throughout this journey and I know they have made all the difference.
Annah is an all-​around genuine person with a big heart and she wants nothing more than to see you succeed. She has that «get along with everyone» positive personality and will make you feel right at home. She’s laid back but will definitely push you when pushing is necessary. During your session she will be focused solely on you and will be 100% involved in your workout. She’s the best of the best and because of Annah, I’m happier, healthier and energized through the roof. I am so thankful to have one of the greatest trainers in SF!

If you want a trainer who knows their stuff. Annah is for you.
Do you dislike doing repetitive workouts that are the same thing day in and day out? Annah’s vast knowledge of exercises keeps the workouts fun and fresh. She also imparts a lot of tips for diet as well.
Most importantly, Annah listens to you and makes the appropriate changes to the workout to benefit you.
Well, this might be deemed the most important, I lost over 30 lbs following Annah’s direction.
Cheerful, motivating and just plain nice, Annah can help you achieve your workout and fitness goals whether you are a true beginner or an elite athlete.
I have also recently learned she knows a lot about animals. A woman for all seasons :)

I’ve been training with Annah for about a year. Here’s what I really love/​appreciate/​enjoy about working with her:
— She listens. If something’s wrong, if there’s a question, if something needs to be modified, she reacts accordingly. Because she has been doing this for awhile, she knows that not all bodies can do the same things, so she’s happy to offer other suggestions. She knows the difference between «Ow, that hurts,» and «Ow, I’m lazy.» And I’m not talking about going easy: sometimes she takes your strengths and pushes THOSE.
— She mixes it up. It’s never the same thing. The warmups, the cool-​downs, the circuits all vary from training to training. As someone who gets bored EASY, this is key.
— She pushes. Because I (might) suffer (a bit) from being lazy, she knows how to push just enough. I’m perfectly happy to push myself but there are some days you just have to give yourself over, shut up your inner demons, and do what she says. Her workouts are always challenging (sometimes alot challenging, but shut up, why do you go to a personal trainer in the first place, if not to be challenged?) .
— She’s got great energy. She keeps it positive. Let me be the one who acts grumpy and cynical and whiney.
— She offers other methods to reach goals. She has suggested diets (some of which work and some don’t for me personally). But she never pushes the diets hard. You don’t want to do it? Fine. But the offer is there. She suggests other ways to get in shape. She does it herself.
Annah is great. That’s it.

Annah is one of my all-​time favorite personal trainers, and simply a great person. I’ve been fortunate to work with her for more than 1.5 years in one-​on-​one training sessions. Annah’s workouts are consistently challenging and always varied, and Annah strikes just the right balance of encouraging me to push my limits while at the same time making me feel comfortable and confident (side note: I’m not naturally super-​athletic, so this is a big deal to me!). Working out with Annah has been one of the key factors in my achieving a much higher level of fitness and health over the past few years — I really can’t thank Annah enough for the positive impact she has on my life! And, true story: during the holidays or on family vacations I usually work out with my sisters, who now ask if we can do «Annah workouts» :)

Annah is not only an awesome trainer but also a great person as well. She has many a times kicked my butt but always in a good way. She makes sure you are performing each exercise/​workout the proper way and adjust accordingly to your needs whatever it may be. Her Cross fit background help drive her workouts to a level that will push you both physically and mentally (in a good way!) I would highly recommend her as a coach/​personal trainer!!!

Not just an awesome trainer, Annah’s personal history and personality affords her amazing empathy and knowledge about accomplishing personal fitness goals and managing sport’s injuries. She’s also just super fun and sweet.

Annah is an absolutely wonderful trainer. She helped me work around an injury and is so completely knowledgable and supportive. She knows how I like to push myself, yet keeps me within my limits. She is an incredible person and her calm demeanor and down-​to-​earth attitude will leave you feeling not only that you have had a fantastic workout, but that you have a true friend.

Annah has amazing energy and is a very knowledgeable fitness coach. With her great sense of humor, encouragement and nuanced coaching, I was able to get through workouts I never thought I could complete. A dedicated athlete, her range of kinesthetic expertise is wide and her attention to detail runs deep. She’s great to work with and one of the most popular coaches in the gym. :)

Annah is the most driven person I have ever worked with. She has kicked my butt (in a good way) as my trainer on several occasions. If anyone can help you reach your goals — athletic, body image, or otherwise, this trainer can do it.

Annah rocks! I got the best workout I’d had since college when I dropped into her bootcamp class one morning. She pushed me harder than I would have worked otherwise, and made me feel great about the workout. Definitely let her pump. you up.
