San Jose Functional Fitness

I have been training with Nate for almost a year now and it’s amazing to see how much stronger I am getting every time! Let’s just say I couldn’t even do a proper squat when I first started haha. I have referred friends and family and they have all signed up! It’s always fun to go and workout and relieve some stress!

Owner and Personal Trainer, Nate, does an outstanding job of making you feel welcome in his gym. He pays attention to your needs and encourages you to do better than your best while not being overbearing. He is very flexible for his clients, making adjustments in times as necessary to accommodate you. I have never been to a gym like 24 or Golds, nor would I want to after getting the personal touch Nate provides. He takes on one or two clients at a time, so his attention is never far. They are consistent in monitoring your progress making sure your are getting maximum benefit. Since starting with Nate (and sometimes his brother Jake) I know I am stronger and healthier. If you are new or experienced in strength training, I highly recommend San Jose Functional Fitness. They’ll even let you choose the music!
Get Strong! Get Fit!

It’s hard to be a middle-​aged fat woman in a world of young, fit folks working out and lifting weights. So, imagine finding a place where I fit in and the trainers are interested in me and my health, not how «good» I look or how good I can make them look.
Nate and Jake have different approaches to training, which complements them as a team. This is where you want to go to get healthy and fit for life. If you’re only in it for the short term, that’s good too, but you’ll want to stay to learn about nutrition, physical and mental strength and overall health fitness.
I’ve worked with them for over two years and can say they’ve tried a couple of different approaches to motivate my mostly lazy butt. The difference here is that they accommodate my needs to my style, not the other way around. They are totally client focused and make it about you.
As a 54 year-​old woman I am very comfortable in their gym. It’s clean, a little warm for a menopausal woman, but it is a gym not a spa.

Nate and Jake are great personal trainers. They take personal to heart. They get to know you, want to help you achieve your goals, give you great feedback on what you’re doing well & what might need to change. They’re invested in you, your progress and your well being. When you add in the fact that they’re humble, friendly and have fantastic personalities, you couldn’t ask for anything more.
Give the guys a try, their word means everything. You can count on that for sure.

This place has changed my life. Nate and Jake have supported me day in and day out in reaching my fitness goals. Even when I feel like giving up, they bring my morale back by reminding me how hard I’ve been working and the accomplishment I am so close to feeling.
They are great trainers, knowledgeable in many areas of total body health, and dedicated to helping me make the change I want to see. I used to talk myself out of needing a persona trainer on my team but these guys are so worth the extra motivation and technique training I need. I never feel bored and always feel challenged.
So glad to have found brothers who can work together to create such a great learning atmosphere close to me in downtown San Jose.
I definitely recommend taking them up on their free first session offer to see what these guys are about!

I guess we should call him Nate the Great. I’m not the youngest athlete in town, but getting older and just doing day to day tasks is getting harder. Nate takes his time and is very knowledgeable on which exercises to do for each workout designed for me personally. Nate’s positive outlook and enthusiasm help me reach my short term and long term goals.

Nate is great! He’s been working with me for a little over a year. I’m the «chunky monkey» on his client list and he’s very encouraging on both changing my eating habits as well as doing more with each workout. I swear he stays up all night figuring out ways to hit the specific muscles in my body, working around my physical limitations. He’s incredibly personable and focused on giving me REAL personal training. You can always feel a personal connection with Nate — and, I feel great (although sometimes sore) after working out with him. I Highly recommend talking to Nate and brother, Jake, about your fitness needs and signing up for personal training with them.

I have been training with Nate (& sometimes his brother Jake) for the last month out of the Chromefit gym in San Jose. I am really happy with my progress and excited to get stronger & start living an overall healthier lifestyle. Everyone knows that a great trainer will give you lots of variety in your workouts and Nate does exactly that. I have learned so many new fitness techniques and routines and am very inspired to keep learning.
It is very reasonably priced.$ 99 for the first month, $ 200/​month following that. (8 sessions/​month) & now i’m hooked! I am renewing my contract next week — WOOHOO! Excited to see results.
Thanks guys! See you soon.

I’ve been working out with Nate for more than 6 months now and my experience has been fantastic.
He listens to you and designs the workout to best match your goals. I’ve struggled with Knee problem but had no issue working out. Nate paid attention to what I could or could not do.
I’ve followed him here from 24 hour fitness and I’m so glad that I did.
My husband works with both Nate and jake and he has seen immense progress in his body as well. They focus on strength as well as endurance.

These guys are the best. I have been working Nate and recently Jake on getting myself into shape. I have lost 60+ lbs. put on muscle and feel better than I ever have.
They really put the ‘personal’ in personal trainer. I have had a problem with a slipped disc in my back for years which caused me constant irritation. After Nate helped me strengthen my upper back I no longer have numbness and tingling in my arms and hands. I can’t put in words the difference it makes for me on a daily basis.
Not only do they listen to what you need, they are encouraging and supportive of your development.
Regardless of your age or fitness level, if you want or are even thinking about a personal trainer, you have to check out San Jose Functional Fitness.
