Sweat Studio

If you want one-​on-​one training, in an intimate setting, customized to your exact needs Sweat Studio is your place.
After having my first child 11 months ago (via c-​section) I was really nervous to get back into the gym. My body was… not quite what it used to be. After working out with John I feel (and look) great. He set up a custom program for me that was absolutely perfect.
I’ve gotten such better attention and care here than with trainers at the super gyms I’ve used, and there is no distraction from the million people running around you clanking weights and taking selfies.
Oh yeah, and did I mention their prices are crazy affordable. I dare you to try to find a better deal in the Bay Area.
If you’re on the edge or even just thinking about getting training Do IT, you can thank me later.

Started incorporating crossfit with my Muay Thai training. Thought I was in good
shape til my trainer Ray Ablao put me through my paces. I’ve known Ray and John for years and i wish i would have started Crossfit sooner.

I was in the shopping center where Sweat Studio is located so I meandered in and was surprised at how unwelcoming the little short guy that finally came out from the back was. He came out and just stood there looking at me and I ended up asking all the questions.
Q: Is this a gym? A: No
Q: Well… how does it work here? A: Aaahh we’re a personal training studio
Q: Do you have packages, memberships, information or anything? A: No.
It physically appears to be a nice little training gym but the trainer that came out lacks customer service skills big time. After I left I realized I was wearing my ‘Gold’s Gym’ hooded sweatshirt.
Come on little short, wee bit buffed guy… I know you weren’t intimated by lil ol me and my sweatshirt, and if you were that was no reason to be so unhelpful, or maybe you’re just afraid of ‘girls’.
Whatever it is, if you keep up that type of crap customer service you will continue to lose potential clients.
I certainly don’t want to sweat in your Sweat Studio and that’s for dripping sweat sure!

I worked with John and Vanessa this past summer and was extremely happy with my efficient work outs. Unfortunately, I moved out of the area and lost all motivation (lol), but I can honestly say that my time and money at Sweat Studio was well spent.
The studio is basic and perfect for any mindset, with mirrors, flat screen TVs, complimentary water bottles, clean towels, and a lot of equipment. It is also quite small, but very comfortable since there are rarely more than 2 people being trained at a time. I never felt intimidated by body builders or half naked girls.
Vanessa was my trainer, and she was wonderful. We got along really well and she would keep me motivated through each workout without being a boot camp bully. She really was able to read me and figured out how to keep me going when I wanted to quit. Additionally, she also worked with my fitness level perfectly, creating workouts that were really effective.
I wish I could still be at Sweat Studio because I truly doubt I’ll be able to find a great team and gym like this for the reasonable price I was given. I highly recommend Sweat Studio to anyone and everyone!

It’s only been three weeks, but I’ve already lost weight and inches and my muscle tone has noticeably improved. My waist size is now 23.9″ — I didn’t think I could ever achieve that without a corset or rib removal! Anyway, this is the most fun I’ve ever had working out. John’s a great resource and motivator. I’ve already referred two friends here. Highly, highly recommended.

I found John D. and Sweat Studio on Unilocal.I visited several gyms and studios and spoke with many trainers about my fitness and body goals. After countless hours of research, I signed up with John in January and have no regrets.
I am still working out with him three times a week. I have lost weight and gotten stronger. When I began, I could barely bench press 90Lbs. I’m now bench pressing my bodyweight and each workout I’m definitely achieving my goals.
The studio itself is very basic, no frills. However, John definitely knows his stuff. Regardless of your athletic ability or current fitness level, John D. and Sweat Studio are a worthwhile investment.

I simply cannot say enough positive things about Sweat Studio! Last December, I had had enough of trying to lose five years of baby weight on my own. I started researching local gyms and exercise classes, but I already had a YMCA membership that I never used and I knew that I really needed an option that would motivate me to change my lifestyle for the better. I had never considered getting a personal trainer because I had always assumed it would be too costly. But when I discovered Sweat Studio just minutes from my house, I decided to look into what they had to offer. Boy, am I glad I did! The owner, John, has assembled a talented team of dedicated professionals in what I refer to as a «boutique» style gym — small, yet very personalized and providing everything I needed to get into shape. John paired me up with Patthreeya, a multi-​talented and inspirational trainer who has helped me to lose 16 pounds and 4% body fat over the last 9 months! Patthreeya has created for me a customized and constantly evolving program that includes weight training, yoga, kickboxing, circuit training, and more — there is simply no way I could have achieved the results I’ve seen on my own. As for the cost, I never realized having a personal trainer could be so affordable and the improvement in both my health and my body image are priceless!

While looking for a personal trainer I came across Sweat Studio in Sunnyvale. I checked out the website and decided to send an email asking for some additional info. Within 2 hrs John the owner contacted me back and we set up an appointment immediately! When I arrived I saw that the facility was quite small. The gym is more for one on one training which I found really appealing. Especially since when I go to the gym I tend to get intimidated by those people who are really in shape.
John asked me a bunch of questions about myself and he checked my weight and calculated my body fat. Soon after he was working with me on my own individual program! He really pushes you and makes you sweat. His personality is great and you can tell he really cares about what he does.
After 2 sessions he wanted me to meet with another personal trainer named Kristel. Kristel has an awesome personality and we immediately hit it off. I enjoy working with her because she makes it fun. She pushes you and throughout your entire workout she tells you that you will thank her in the end. Boy is she right. It has only been a few sessions but I can already feel a difference in my posture, strength and I know I am going in the right direction.
I love the fact that you get one on one attention for an hour and you are given diet/​calorie goals. They really want you to see success and will do whatever it takes to get you there!
They offer package deals and it is better to sign up for multiple sessions. It is a little pricey but hey… this is your body your talking about! You want to look and feel good don’t ya! It’s so worth it in the end. You will see results. I see other members and wow… do they look great!!! I am looking forward to my new body. :)
