DIAKADI Fitness Performance Life: Reviews
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI itself is an outstanding gym. The space is clean, well-equipped, and has an energetic yet welcoming vibe. The management is extremely professional and has created an environment where clients feel supported and valued. If you're looking for top-notch trainers and a gym that truly cares about your success, DIAKADI is the place to be! Working with my trainer Austin (Avolver Fitness) at DIAKADI has also been an amazing experience. My goal was to build strength while working around low back issues, and Austin designed a program that not only strengthened the areas supporting my back but also kept me completely pain-free. His expertise and attention to detail are unmatched.
You are THE best Amro! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this amazing review for both DIAKADI and Coach Austin Villamil. We are psyched that Austin has been able to help you in developing a strength program that not only keeps your back safe, but also improves your strength and reduces your body fat. Plus, the consistency of your open gym workouts at DIAKADI must have also played a key role in your successes. Way to stay on top of those! Thanks for always bringing such great vibes when you come in each week and we hope that 2025 brings you even more success my friend. All our very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI is more than just a gym — it is a fitness community where everyone is welcome. When I started training at DIAKADI, I was new to strength training and was intimidated walking into the big chain gyms, often lacking confidence in how to properly use machines or proper form. My trainer, Austin Villamil, is an awesome coach that provides me with a personalized training program and lifestyle/diet plan in addition to our once/week sessions together. Not only have I gotten stronger and lost weight, I have gained a ton of knowledge since training with Austin and I can now walk into any gym with confidence!
Thank you Cherish for your kind words and for sharing your DIAKADI story! We love getting to see you each week and we are psyched that both DIAKADI's community and your Coach Austin Villamil have been such an ideal fit for boosting your confidence with your workouts and nutrition habits, while increasing your strength and reducing your body fat! We look forward to seeing what 2025 has in store for you and your fitness and lifestyle achievements! All our very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI has become part of my weekly routine now and I love going there. My trainer, Sara Goldman, has made me more confident and a much, much stronger athlete than I have ever been… She’s really attentive and she knows a lot more than just about lifting. I started only a year ago and now I go 2 or 3 times a week. I’m in my menopausal years and that’s my new strategy: Strong first! The rest will follow!
Fantastic experience: I try to be conservative with the people and services I promote. I cannot recommend working with Roland Borys highly enough. I've worked with several trainers and coaches in the past as an NCAA D1 All-American runner. It is not an exaggeration to say that Roland has had a larger positive impact on my mental and physical well-being than just about any therapist or coach I've worked with. I've referred him pretty widely, and he now works with about 10 of my close friends. A couple bullets: 1. He's more focused on injury prevention than "vanity muscles" and has a savant-level way of seeing and developing out imbalances in muscles and movement 2. He's a bit of a spiritual guru. It's hard to explain, but he has a level of awareness and presence that is quite unique….kinda feels like Eckhart Tolle-esque. He blends that into the work and you end up feeling more at peace after working out with him
Thanks Andrew for taking the time to share the details of your excellent experience with your Coach Roland Borys. I do agree that Roland has a gift as a bit of a 'muscle meets mind whisperer' with his clients and we are happy to hear that this has been such an ideal match for you for the last year and a half, as well as for your community of friends. Roland says that you are focused on improving your flexibility and mobility in 2025 and we wish you the very best in your continued work and success. Thank you very much for your continued trust and support. Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: This is a two part review, one for Diakadi, and another for my trainer, Roland Borys. Diakadi : Diakadi itself is a fantastic place to work out. You have pretty much everything you'd need in a single building : personal trainers as well as open gym and physical therapists downstairs should you want to spring for it. The facilities are always super clean, and they have pretty much every exercise implement you could imagine. The staff are fantastic, and the culture overall is laid back, but focused on getting results. Diakadi is a gym centered around personal trainers, so if you simply need a personal trainer who's going to have your best interests at heart, as well as push you to be better, look no further. Which brings me to the second part of my review : Roland Borys : I first got referred to Roland by my buddy Chris (he's left a stellar review for Roland btw, filter the reviews by "Roland" to find it). I had previously had less-than-great personal trainer experiences, and really didn't see the value in spending money for training. I mean, it isn't really cheap, to be honest. At the same time, I had plateaued in getting results, and I kept running into minor injuries repeatedly, especially with knees and ankles. I figured I'd bite the bullet and give personal training a shot to see if I could be more efficient with the time I was spending in the gym. Both to improve my overall health, as well as get in better shape. After all, time and health will always be worth more than almost any amount of money. Roland absolutely brought that improvement that I was looking for. The man can very effectively tailor the regimen you follow to adapt to your specific needs. For the first year, we had a big focus on my physique, as well as addressing knee pain. Afterwards, we shifted focus to strength, and overall joint health. I've gotten injured a couple of times in unrelated accidents outside, and Roland has been terrific about tailoring workouts around these injuries, as well as giving me great rehab workouts and advice. He has demonstrated in-depth knowledge of movement, nutrition, and general anatomy, all of which help create the best possible results. Since I've started working out with him, I have a much more improved and healthy approach to working out. My knee pain has significantly improved. I've also just been better mentally equipped to stay injury free and overall be a lot stronger. Roland is now the sole trainer for several friends. We've all had wonderful experiences across the board. He provides not only physical guidance but also mental guidance for a lot of us. For me, he has definitely helped foster a better sense of discipline and focus when I'm in the gym. He has been as much of a friend as he is a trainer, and I don't think many trainers are capable of being like that. I highly HIGHLY recommend giving him a chance.
Thanks Sriram for the incredible review of both DIAKADI and of your work with Coach Roland Borys for the last two and a half years! You are correct that Roland's gift for meeting clients exactly where they are and helping them achieve their ideal goals is exceptional. Huge congratulations on all of your success so far and wishing you amazing achievements ahead in 2025. Thank you for your continued trust and support! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Owners Mike & Billy and the entire team create a great atmosphere – positive, focused & fun. I have benefited from their comprehensive services for wellness, knowledgeable & committed personal trainers and therapists, and the equipment and facilities are excellent – I could not be happier with DIAKADI.
Thank you Rob - It has been excellent having you in our community for the last two and a half years and we are psyched that Coach AJ Harper has been such an ideal fit for you and your fitness programming. We very much appreciate your longterm support and trust in our DIAKADI team and we hope that you an incredible year ahead in 2025! All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: After working with Roland Borys, my philosophy to exercise and physical health has completely shifted. His presence, attentiveness to the mind-muscle connection and making sure his clients really are connecting with each movement are a total game changer. Working with him will re-orientate the way you view your body, health, and mind for the better & give you a strong foundation off of which you can further your health. I've had personal trainers before and there is simply none that can compare. 10/10, Highly recommend.
Thanks very much Kiran for sharing your excellent experience at DIAKADI with Coach Roland Borys. You are so right that his attention to the mind-muscle connection is an incredible gift that he shares with his clients. It has been wonderful to have you and your calm, happy vibes in the gym with us since January. We wish you an amazing year ahead in 2025! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I've been training with Roland Borys for over 2 years now and I have to say it is without a doubt one of the best investments of my life. Roland is beyond a trainer to me at this point -- he's shown me a healthier and more free way to live, helped me become a better person, and a whole lot more fit too. I've referred 5+ clients to Roland, and they all unequivocally love him too.
Thanks Thenuka! We are psyched that you have found such a trusted and perfect match with your coach Roland Borys. He says that you have been cooking more, keeping a food journal and consequently losing body fat, so BIG congratulations on your results. We appreciate you continuing to spread the word and wish you only the very best in 2025! All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Zach is the ABSOLUTE best. He saved me from having back surgery and helped me create new habits in strength training and diet and wellness.
Heck yeah Rheanna! You are right, Zach is truly an incredible coach, especially for back issues. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your story and we hope that all continues to go well for your new habits and your back strength! All the very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Helping me a lot to improve my shoulder from shoulder injury
Thanks very much Jimmy for taking the time to share your story! We are psyched that our Physical Therapist Dr. Steve Kim has been such an excellent aid in your shoulder injury recovery. We are extremely fortunate to have his advanced knowledge on our DIAKADI team. We wish you continued success with your healing and very much appreciate your trust and support. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: When I started working with Brandon I had been dealing with a herniated lumbar disc for about 6 months, seeing various physical therapists with limited success. I was still regularly experiencing pain and felt limited in a lot of activities. After working with Brandon for 6 months I feel great — my pain has been largely eliminated and I have no restrictions in physical activity. Not only that, but my mobility has improved and my confidence grown such that I could get back to barbell weightlifting. I’ve gone from barely being able to touch past my knees when bending over to comfortably touching the floor, and I’ve increased my back squat by over 100 pounds. Brandon has helped me meet and exceed my goals through his knowledge and expertise in dealing with both the physical and mental aspects of injury recovery and strength and mobility improvement.
Fantastic experience: I have been receiving personal training from Mark Borys at Diakadi for over 4 months now and loving every minute. Mark first started with understanding my current level of fitness and my fitness goals. Then on a weekly basis he creates a custom strength training routine where he pays meticulous attention to my form for maximum benefit and injury prevention. He provides alternate ways to do the same exercise so I can do it with the equipment I have at home in between my workouts with him. I am 63 years old female and happy to report that not only am I stronger and leaner, but nothing hurts! (except for expected muscle soreness of course!). I am continually challenged and never bored! I highly recommend Mark!
Fantastic experience: I wish I could give more than 5 stars to DIAKADI and my trainer, Dustin Millhollen! Dustin is an amazing trainer. He's methodical in planning my workouts for long and short term success and tracking my progress. He's intuitive and knowledgeable about how to achieve my goals. The gym is spacious and well-equipped, and the management is attentive. They have a wide range of clientele, and I always feel comfortable there. In my search for a new gym and trainer, I checked out several others to compare, and DIAKADI and Dustin were the best. While it's at the top end of my budget, it's definitely worth it to me. I highly recommend them!
Thank you SO much Allison for taking the time to share your rave review for your Coach Dustin Millhollen and for DIAKADI. Dustin told me that you have been 'super' consistent and that you have made a 33% weight increase in your trap bar deadlifts! HECK YEAH! It makes me very proud to hear how you 'always feel comfortable' in the gym, as we pride ourselves on DIAKADI offering an inviting and inspiring space for EVERY individual looking to improve their health and fitness. Thank you again for your sweat and support and we wish you the very best with your workouts ahead at DIAKADI. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: How many characters do I have, because I have a lot of good things to say! DIAKADI is the best gym, not just in SF, but in all the cities I’ve lived. They simply outcare everyone. I started with a trainer and I was skeptical based on previous experiences, but he really taught me about not just workouts, but health and mindset too. My form is still good from that training. I also use the open gym because the equipment and facilities and very hard to match. I’ve been a member of equinox and fitnessSF as well, they don’t have as much unique stuff. It’s also not super crowded and everyone is friendly. Just good vibes. Love the tangerines after a workout and clean locker rooms. I travel a ton and am always on a fitness roller coaster with lots of driving out for work, so whenever I get back to SF for an extended period, I’m able to get into diakadi and shed fat and build muscle. The owners Billy and Mike highly encouraging and friendly too. They really care about each member. Also high quality body work with people who know about muscles, have Achilles and plantar issues. Highly recommend for anyone looking to be serious about fitness and likes community.
Dominic! You are amazing! Thank you so much for this. I think your review literally covers just about every aspect of our business. We are super PROUD to offer such an all encompassing service that continues to meet your fitness and health needs from strength training programs to massage therapy sessions. We got you! We appreciate you and your continued support and trust after all of these years. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Randy was a great coach to help me train for my first marathon! Diakadi has a lit gym!
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI is a terrific gym and has all of the supplies and tools one could ever use. I work with Dustin as my personal trainer and couldn't recommend him enough. Every single staff member has very welcoming and inclusive. I would highly suggest if you are looking for a gym.
Fantastic experience: The DIKADI Fitness Performance Life operation is most extraordinary - I have been participating for more than 10 years and will continue as long as physically able. The #1 reason - the ownership and staff - experienced, competent, attentive and super friendly. The venue is bright, airy, clean and accessable. I have experienced multiple trainers and massage therapists - all terrific. For the last 3 years my therapist is Benjamin Brewer. I tell my friends Benjamin is a witch doctor because he has succeeded in keeping me from my medical doctor who has wanted to do back and shoulder surgery for the last 5 years. I highly recommend him and all the leaders and staff at DIKADI!
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Diakadi for several years now, working exclusively with Zach Scioli at Revolutionary Health. This is by far the best gym I've used - it has a great variety of equipment that is always well maintained. It is never too crowded, and fellow gym goers are courteous and respectful. It's a fantastic welcoming environment. I suppose the greatest compliment I can give is that even after I moved out of the city I've continued to frequent Diakadi, even with the occasional 1+ hour commute.
Thank you so much Ted for taking the time to share your excellent experiences with DIAKADI and your advanced personal trainer Zach Scioli throughout the last five years. Zach says that you are 100% back pain free now and that you have been thriving in both daily life and competitive car racing! HUGE congratulations all around. You are truly in the hands of a back pain specialist with Zach. We appreciate your hustle and continued trust and support for our DIAKADI community. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I've been fortunate to train at Diakadi on and off for over ten years and it is by far the best gym and team I've ever been exposed to across my time in SF, LA, NYC, and abroad. Mike and Billy do an amazing job running the facility, which has the best setup and equipment in the city by far. They're also wonderful at caring for their team of trainers, all of whom are lovely people that are extraordinary in each of their disciplines. Everyone at Diakadi exudes positive energy and spirit and it makes spending time here a true pleasure. I started at Diakadi with Tom Armenta over a decade ago, and he was able to help me build a foundation of fitness that I've been able to build on ever since. It's awesome to see him continuing to transform the lives of his clients. This past year I've been working with Elijah Markstrom who has an enabled me to make a major breakthrough in my overall fitness and reach goals I previously thought impossible. I've been able to get my weight down to its lowest ever in my adult life, I've radically improved my posture, my metabolic fitness is at an all time high, and I'm steadily gaining strength, all thanks to Elijah's expert programming and guidance towards the goals I shared with him when we began. In addition, Elijah's thoughtful approach has also helped me avoid injury, which had been a chronic problem. Seeing continued progress without setbacks has been really exciting and gives me extra motivation to keep after it each week. In all honesty my life would be meaningfully worse if I had never discovered Diakadi or met Elijah and Tom. I'll always be grateful that we have such a special gym and group of people here in SF. ❤️
Fantastic experience: When I reached out to DIAKADI and sought a personal trainer to address my joint pain issues (such as in my lower back, knees, and elbows), I was paired with a trainer named Mark Broys. He asked some questions and requested that I do some weight training in order to design a program for me. After a few sessions, my issues suddenly disappeared. Not only that, but my strength also increased. I also learned a lot of tips from Mark. Furthermore, Mark always accommodated my needs and provided a recap after each session, encouraging me to train on my own afterward. I am very grateful for all of this.
Thanks Skinner! We are PSYCHED to hear that your joint pain in your lower back, knees and upper body has disappeared and that your advanced personal trainer Mark Borys has been such an excellent match for your needs. Mark says that you have been one of the most 'dedicated and hardworking' clients, and that your core strength and flexibility has also shown GREAT improvements. Well well done! We hope you continue to have incredible results in the months ahead and THANK YOU for your continued trust and support of our team at DIAKADI. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Training with Elijah at Diakadi over the past 18 months has been hugely positive experience. I’d highly recommend anyone wanting to make an investment in their health and fitness to just go for it. You won’t regret it. Elijah is an exceptionally knowledgeable and supportive trainer who knows when to push you and get the most out of you. The whole team at Diakadi led by Mike and Billy have created a unique community here that I’m proud to be part of.
Fantastic experience: Working out at DIAKADI with my trainer Mark is a highlight of my week. Mark is hugely knowledgeable about strength training, and is a patient and observant coach. For anyone who wants to level up their strength training game, I highly recommend working with him!
Fantastic experience: Training at DIAKADI has been a great experience. My last trainer, Aurora, understood my goals & tailored a program to enhance my athletic movements specifically for tennis (a sport I'm pursuing). Her background knowledge and positive energy made a significant difference in my progress on court and made training much more enjoyable. The gym is also well laid out with a variety of equipment and is very well-maintained. I'm really happy with my results and enjoying the journey more and more. Thanks Aurora, Dan, Billy, and the staff for making the the gym approachable and fun!
Fantastic experience: I love DIAKADI Fitness, such an incredible gym with incredible trainers. Brendan is such an amazing trainer! He works with you so well and makes sure you always have what you need, and also knows how to push you to be your best. I've struggled with body issues and eating habits, and ever since training with Brendan, I've been able to incorporate better habits in my lifestyle and always look forward to my training session with him because he makes it such a fun and positive experience. Would highly recommend anyone trying to get more into their fitness journey to start at Diakadi and work with Brendan!
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI is a top-tier fitness gym and personal training center that excels on every level. The staff is exceptional, providing expert guidance, support, and an encouraging smile every time you walk through the door. The gym itself is stunning, creating an environment conducive to focused workouts. What sets DIAKADI apart is its seamless coordination between trainers and clients, ensuring a smooth and productive fitness journey. Thanks to DIAKADI I met Brendan, and my fitness journey has changed exponentially. From the moment you step in, you're met with professionalism and dedication. If you're looking for a gym that prioritizes cleanliness, excellence in service, and effective communication between trainers and clients, DIAKADI is the ultimate destination.
Fantastic experience: I've worked with Aurora over the past year at Diakadi. Aurora has helped me meet my goals and beyond. I have more confidence in the gym, I'm getting stronger week over week, and I feel a lot more energy / stamina in my day to day life. As a woman entering a gym can be really intimidating but Aurora creates a safe and comfortable space for you to meet your fitness & health goals, whatever they may be!
Thanks very much Tina for sharing your story about your work and success with Aurora. Aurora also mentioned that your plantar fasciitis has greatly improved, which is excellent news! At DIAKADI, we take great pride in providing a workout space that is comfortable and challenging for EVERY single body, so it makes me very happy to hear that you have also found that with your coaching. We wish you continued strength gains and energy boosts in the year ahead! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Diakadi for two years now, working with my excellent trainer Aurora Bellone. Diakadi is a first rate facility. Clean, well equipped, with a friendly but serious vibe. My wife has been with Diakadi longer than I and also finds the caliber of the trainers to be top notch and the environment welcoming to people of all levels of fitness.
Don, a HUGE thanks for taking the time to share this review about your work with Aurora and your DIAKADI experience. Aurora raves about you being the 'most consistent' client that she has, so it is no surprise that you have had such great results with your health and fitness goals. We greatly appreciate your continued support and hope that you and Elizabeth keep kicking butt in the year ahead. All our very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Diakadi has excellent coaches you have helped me get my body back after covid and have built my strength and endurance up. Thanks to my trainer Cole I feel better than ever (and look better than ever :).
Fantastic experience: This place is so sacred for all health enthusiasts! Great trainers - My favorite are Cole and Brandon. I love the community the owners have built and the vibe is very energetic and warm!
Thank you Apurva! Describing DIAKADI as a 'sacred' place for health enthusiasts is an honor that means so much to me. We are psyched that Cole and Brandon have been such ideal matches as your coaches and your RESULTS speak volumes: Down 5% body fat Gained 6 lbs of muscle BIG gains in all of your major lifts Keep it rolling Apurva and thank you again for all of your hard work and support over the last two and a half years! All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Diakadi is an incredible place. The facilities are awesome, the people are amazing and the community they have built is fantastic. I can’t say enough about how great a place this is and how fortunate I am to be able to train there. Billy, and the team are simply the best. I’ve been to a lot of gyms and trained with a lot of people, but they are the best by far. One day, I forgot my shorts and Billy gave me his. They are just so kind and really want you to have a great experience. I’d give them 10 stars if I could. Love them
Fantastic experience: Diakadi Fitness creates a remarkable and supportive culture. I have being workout at Diakadi for several years and the owners (Mike and Billy) trainers, and facilities have been instrumental in helping me keep and achieve my fitness goals. Diakadi is an important part of my weekly schedule and I am little saner and fitter for it. :-)
Thanks very much for the kind words and for all of your sweat and hard work throughout the last three years with your Coach Justin La Plante! We are psyched that our fitness community has been such an ideal fit for you and we appreciate the supportive, good vibes that you bring in every week with you. Those excellent vibes are exactly what makes DIAKADI such the special place for all of us. All the best in the year ahead Brandon, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Anthony D'Andrea as my personal trainer since November 2023. He is an excellent trainer: kind, knowledgeable, motivating, willing to work with me at my level. I had just past age 60 and was unsure if I could get back into shape. I have seen amazing results in the short time I've worked with Anthony- I've lost 10 lbs, have eliminated my esophageal reflux, fit into jeans I had almost donated. I have improved self-confidence and personal motivation. I can't thank Anthony enough!
Heck yeah, Ron! You and Anthony have been KILLING IT! We are so psyched to read all of these excellent results and I will add them to a brick for you on the DIAKADI Results Wall. Keep pushing and we hope that you continue to make incredible progress in the year ahead. All our very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Working with Dan has been amazing. He’s constantly crafting new training programs to either fit to my goals or to incorporate new mechanics and enhance the workouts. His knowledge and interest in fitness science shines through every time, and his presence in the gym makes our sessions really enjoyable.
Thank you very much Michael for sharing your story about your work with your trainer Dan Chavez for the last three years. You are in the hands of a coach who truly has a thirst and love for advanced fitness and health knowledge, so we are psyched that he has been such an ideal coach for you. We wish you all the very best in the year ahead. With much appreciation, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I filled out an online questionnaire about my health and fitness goals that Diakadi then used to match me with the personal trainer best suited to help me. I was paired with Anthony, who on top of being incredibly nice and supportive, put together a plan for me that I almost immediately began to see (and feel) benefits from. The homework Anthony has me do outside of Diakadi at my own gym is fun and I look forward to the workouts. I cannot recommend Diakadi more highly!
Fantastic experience: I have been a member of many gyms over the years, and Diakadi offers the most warm and friendly environment and practical experience of any gym I have attended. The trainers (I work with Zach and also Anthony) are excellent and focus on the client's needs, not some cookie cutter workout approach. Zach changes up my workout routine every 4 weeks to keep it fresh. The equipment is state of the art and updated often. Street parking is easy, and there is rarely a wait for equipment. Mike and Billy are the owners and they are present and available. Terrific place !
Thank you Rob! It is always a pleasure seeing you in here each week and I am psyched that your matching with Zach Karcher has been such an ideal pairing in helping you stay consistent with your workouts and progress. (Not to mention the exceptional sub-trainer sessions where I stood in for Zach with you while he was on vacation!) Thank you for consistent hard work and drive, as well as you continued trust in our team. You are looking damn good and we are excited to see your road ahead in 2024. All my best, Billy and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I've been a member since 2018 and I recommend Diakadi to everyone who is looking for a great place to work out and hit their fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI is one of a kind. I've been training here on and off for over 10 years and LOVE it! The gym has everything you would need plus great facilities for getting ready for work and snacks available for purchase should you forget your protein shake at home before a workout. I've been seeing Derrick Lee for many years and no other trainer that I've worked with comes close. He is absolutely incredible. He works on your body first so you get the most out of your workout. He has built me routines for me to do on my own between our sessions. He got me into the best shape of my life for my wedding and worked with me while I was pregnant. Cannot speak more highly of this gym and Derrick! Thank you to both of them!!
Thank you so much Jeanette for all of these years of support and for trusting Derrick and DIAKADI with guiding you through all of your life events. Can you believe that it is actually over 11 years now? You are truly working with a one-of-a-kind trainer with Derrick. We are incredibly fortunate to have him as one of our longtime educators and leaders on our training team. Here's to 11 more amazing years ahead for you in every way. With much appreciation, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: This is probably the best gym in America. Maybe on earth. Seriously. It's hard to imagine a person coming here consistently and not meeting their fitness goals.
Heck yeah Alex! Thank you sir for the kind words and for trusting us as your fitness facility for the last 10 years! Our #1 goal is to make sure that you all have EVERYTHING you need to keep your workouts and your results consistent and bar setting. We look forward to seeing what BIG results you and Coach Gavin have in store for the year ahead. With huge appreciation, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I joined Diakadi in the summer of 2021 and I have been working out with Dan Stahl ever since. Dan has done an amazing job of creating an exercise program that is tailored to my needs. The gym never feels crowded and the “open gym” hours are even less so. The equipment is well maintained and space is always clean. I have recommended Diakadi and Dan to everyone I know. Thank you to the owners, Billy and Mike, for creating such a positive and welcoming environment.
Thank you very much Jason for taking the time to share this review! I am so dang psyched to have a fellow UNC Tarheel in our DIAKADI fitness family and proud that our facility has been such a good fit for you and your fitness goals. You are in excellent hands under the well tuned and corrective eye of trainer Dan Chavez and we wish you the VERY best in the year ahead. Go Heels! Billy
Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a great experience with Diakadi and Jon De La Torre!
Thanks very much for taking the time to share a review for DIAKADI and for your coach JDLT! We are psyched that you have found our 'fitness family' to be such a good match for you. Also, HUGE congratulations on your new PR of squatting 245 lbs last month! Keep it rolling as we head into February and best of luck with breaking your new record again in the weeks ahead. You got this! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Incredible two-floor facility with a sole focus on personal training. It is never crowded, always clean and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Randy has been our personal trainer for a year and has been great building us up to a sustainable functional fitness level.
Thanks very much Hywel for sharing your experience and for your continued trust and support throughout the last year! You are literally in excellent hands with Randy with both his advanced coaching and massage therapy skills. We look forward to seeing what the year ahead brings for you in continuing to improve functional fitness. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Have been working out at DIAKADI three times per week for more than one year. Besides my incredible trainer (AJ Harper), I love the space, flexibility, equipment, staff and overall vibe. They’ve got everything I need and loads more. I’ve been challenged with my workouts like never before and have seen remarkable gains (and losses!). Huge DIAKADI fan!
Thanks Harry and HUGE congratulations on your body fat reduction of 8% down! You are in excellent hands with Coach AJ! We look forward to more laughs with you and music reviews from you in the year ahead. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Hi , i have been a member of Diakadi gym for four months , it is in my opinion the best gym in San Francisco, when first inquiring there Jeni answered any questions i had , i asked about taking some personal training sessions as it had been a while since i weight trained , Jeni referred me to Gavin one og the many great trainers there, Gavin knows his stuff and has helped me on my fitness journey , giving me a workout program that is challenging yet works and i have stuck to, the staff are friendly ,and helpful , the gym is clean and has everything equipment wise you would need ,
Heck yeah Craig! We are pumped that your match up with Coach Gavin Birmingham has been ideal for you and that you have been able to take great advantage of our Open Gym Membership for your homework workouts. Keep your good consistency going into 2024, and keep us updated on those random pre-workout donuts that we talked about this week. Ha! All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: The staff and facilities at diakadi are phenomenal. My trainer Ricky Seminsky is a GOAT. He constantly makes sure we're going at a challenging pace and having fun, while adapting it to my daily life and unique fitness needs. Gym's great too, it has more stuff than I've ever seen before.
Thanks Raul for sharing this review about your DIAKADI experience with Coach Ricky! He truly is the GOAT and we are so excited to celebrate the balanced strength gains that you have seen as well as the pain reduction in your back and hips in helping to improve your rock climbing! Keep it up and all our best as we head into 2024! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI UP
Fantastic experience: I've been working with Michael at Diakadi for the last 11 months, and it has been life-changing. Yes, the physical results have been great, but the lifestyle change is what's been truly transformative. Diakadi and Michael have provided a supportive place where I've learned a lot about weightlifting and been able to establish consistency. The facilities are top-notch and never too crowded. And the trainers are all stellar. I'd recommend Diakadi to anyone who wants a place where they will feel supported in all their physical health goals.
Thanks Nathanial for your kind words, continued support and happy vibes every time that you come into the gym! You have been incredibly consistent with your homework workouts so it is no surprise that you have gotten such great results. You have truly become a member of our fitness family during the last year and we look forward to seeing what lies ahead for you in 2024. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: The nicest people, the very best training to be had in SF. I've been training with Randy Miranda for a few months (and trained with other DIAKADI trainers in the past) and I'm consistently impressed with his deep knowledge of biomechanics and running form and his really long-term orientation to my training. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend DIAKADI.
Dakota! You are THE BEST for taking the time to share this review for DIAKADI and Randy. It is always a treat for us to have your great energy and vibe in the gym and we look forward to seeing what goals and results you achieve in 2024! With much gratitude, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I worked with Randy Miranda at DIAKADI leading up to a marathon (CIM) and had a wonderful experience with the coaching, the staff, and the facility. I felt completely set up for success to achieve my goal and loved being able to celebrate this accomplishment with them. I would highly recommend for anyone at any place in their strength or fitness journey.
Vanessa, HUGE congratulations on completing your pain free CIM marathon this year, and THANK YOU for taking the time to share your story here. Coach Randy Miranda is truly the pain-free runner/jogger 'whisperer', so you have found the perfect running coach with him. We hope that 2024 brings you even more success in your health and fitness. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Diakadi does a great job at having you tell them what your goals are and partnering you with a trainer. Honestly your connection with your trainer makes ALL the difference. I absolutely LOVE working with Roland Borys. He is an extremely mindful trainer who knows the value and importance of mind/body connection. I've felt myself become so much stronger and agile in the past yeah and a half working with him. When I initially came to work with Roland my main goal was to create a more sustainable fitness routine for long term health. I also came from a background of competitive cycling and eating disorders so I really just wanted to focus on treating my body well as I aged, and while I hoped for what many of want out of training (a hot bod or w/e) I wasn't aiming for that as my goal knowing that I needed to change my relationship with my body. However in doing just that my body and my connection with it changed. Roland really helped me treat my body with kindness and we worked on a lot of functional fitness. which to some doesn't seem as "difficult" because it's not about hitting heavy weights. But all of that mindful training really helped my body heal as well as my experience with my body image. Now when I look at myself I see someone who is healthy and strong overall which in itself is beautiful. I did loose inches and became much more toned if you're wondering. But that truly doesn't matter as much as how my body and mind now feel. I've also gotten into a variety of other sports and my body just easily adapts to whatever I do with such ease now. Further proving to me the well rounded nature of Roland's training. In addition He has also helped me see how much stress i was carrying in my life. Stress can do a lot to a body and working with him (and my therapist) have really helped my mind connect to my body to work as a whole. I'm the fittest I've ever been and my connection to my body feels much more healthy than before. Overall I would 100% recommend Diakadi if you are wanting to train with an expert for a reasonable price. And I 1000000000% would go with Roland if he matches your fitness goals.
Thanks so much Ariel for taking the time to share your DIAKADI story! Our referral director Jeni and her team take great pride in helping our clients find their ideal match in their coach and we are PSCYCHED that your match with Roland has been such a wonderful fit. We hope that your movement, strength and mind/body connection continue to grow in 2024 and we very much appreciate your continued trust and support of our DIAKADI fitness family. All our very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: The best gym in SF. I gained a lot of muscle mass over the last 2 years here. Highly recommend! The trainers are friendly and the space has all the equipment that you'd need. And it has 2 floors of machines including space for dynamic workouts. Pretty cool.
Heck yeah Chendur! Seeing the before picture that you showed me this week was definite proof that you have added an AMAZING amount of muscle sir. Huge congratulations on your success! Thanks very much for sharing your story here. We are psyched to see where you continue to head with your fitness goals in the year ahead. You got this! All my best, Billy
Fantastic experience: The best gym I have ever been to. I have been training here for six months. I'm really proud and impressed with my progress. The gym has every machine I can think of, lots of space, and strikes the perfect balance of being a community to take part in, or just being a place to get a work out. Everyone is friendly and respectful. I really love it here!
Thanks so much Chris! We have loved having you become such an active member of our community in just six months. Not only with your workouts with Austin and your open gym visits, but also with your assistance as a speaker at our AI experts panel. As well as your participation in our DIAKADI Adventure tarantula hunt on Mt Diablo! More great adventures and FUN times ahead in 2024 mister- All our best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: I’ll keep this short and sweet. I met my trainer Tycho almost 12 years ago when he was starting out at the YMCA and I have followed him along his various transitions in his career, and I followed him to Diakadi several years ago. Needless to say… His decision to join, Diakadi was great for both of us! The facilities are superb to say the least… And the entire team a Diakadi from the trainers to the owner to the regular staff, make the place warm and welcoming. Well, like most people, I’ve had my ups and downs during my fitness journey. My successes can definitely be attributed to Tycho and Diakadi as a whole. This year I started to take my health a little more seriously and thanks to the constant support from my fitness team In the last four months, I have lost well over 20 pounds and lost 15% body fat down to 19%! Not bad at all for a 46-year-old post menopausal, female! Whether you’re just trying to set personal records for your fitness or Just need to lose a few pounds and set up the rest of your fitness journey for success I highly recommend Diakadi! When it comes to your personal health and fitness, don’t settle for less than you deserve! Invest the time and money in yourself. You will not be disappointed And you will thank me later!
Heck yeah Luba! HUGE congratulations on your recent body fat loss. I did not realize that you and Tycho had been a dream team for 12 years - Amazing! We are fortunate to have both of you in our fitness family. Also, a big thanks to you for sharing your art work this year as part of our local artists gallery in the gym. The good vibe and beautiful colors in your pieces have been a great energy booster for us. Here's to amazing things ahead for you in 2024! Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI stands out as a friendly, motivating, and inclusive gym for those seeking help in achieving their health, fitness, and nutritional goals. My personal journey with DIAKADI, spanning nearly two years, has not only led me to surpass my initial fitness goals but has also inspired me to maintaining a healthy and sustainable lifestyle. Although I have been working out for many years, the depth of knowledge and insights I’ve gained while training at DIAKADI has been so significant that it felt like my fitness journey had just begun. The trainers here adopt a holistic approach to health and fitness, ensuring consistent dialogue about nutrition and being attuned to your body. Each training program is meticulously crafted to suit individual goals and needs, reflecting their trainers’ commitment to continuous education and certification. DIAKADI’s dedication, passion, and expertise makes it a place I wholeheartedly recommend for anyone looking to transform their health and fitness journey.
You are THE best Jonathan! Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words and for bringing your glow and good vibes into the gym with you every time for the past two years. Your incredible body fat reduction over the last five months deserves top billing on our Results Wall and we look forward to seeing what you have coming in 2024. You Got This! Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: I have learned that to succeed at my fitness goals, the thing I need most is encouragement. At Diakadi I have found a training partner in Sebastian Hagemeyer. He’s as interested in my goals as I am and makes training both intensely hard and a lot of fun. I look forward to every session and leave feeling accomplished. Working one on one with a trainer is a major investment. Diakadi respects that by providing a clean, organized, well-stocked facility, every piece of equipment imaginable, friendly, helpful support staff, and the best trainers in the City. The gym is never crowded and there are no difficult personalities dominating the space. There are a wide range of ages and physical abilities among the patrons, and the trainers are thoughtfully matched based on expertise and outlook. I encourage anyone who is considering working with a trainer to try this place out. And if you want to get strong , ask for Sebastian.
Chris! Thank you so dang much for taking the time to share your story. We are extremely proud of the community of advanced performance coaches that call DIAKADI home, and you have chosen a truly encouraging support team with Sebastian! If there is EVER anything that we can do to boost your experience in any way, do not hesitate to ask. Keep up the great work of getting stronger while having FUN! You got this! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I joined DIAKADI because the idea of one-on-one training was so much less intimidating when everyone else around you is doing the same (i.e. not so obvious if you have no clue what you're doing!). I was a regular runner, but never really felt strong or flexible or particularly excited about the aging mama body thing. Enter Jon de la Torre...I absolutely LOVED training with him. I learned a ton, had so much fun, got WAY stronger, and I now have the foundation to keep going. Although I've recently moved out of the city, I'm looking forward to regular check-ins with Jon to keep me accountable!
Thanks Mikhal for sharing your Coach JDLT results story. Even though you have left the city, keep pushing in your workouts and keep those amazing strength and flexibility gains coming! Know that we are always here if you ever need anything at all. Also, a HUGE thanks for sharing your abstract paintings with our clients in our DIAKADI Gallery space. They have been such a perfect fit and source of inspiration for our community during their workouts. We wish you only the very best down south and hope to see you back in the gym sometime down the road. Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Been going to Diakadi for 4 years now, and it’s one of the best gyms I’ve been to. It has all of the equipment you need. It’s perfect for athletes out there. My personal trainer is Jon, and he has been a joy to work with. Always look forward to our 6 am sessions.
Thanks so much for sharing your story and this review for Jon and us Maria! It is always good to see your happy glow and vibe when you come in for your EARLY AM sessions, and we appreciate how that only adds to the happy spirit of our entire fitness family. We hope that you and Jon have more amazing achievements and success ahead! All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Before moving to the Bay Area 2 years ago, I was a member at a grass roots CrossFit-inspired gym that I also absolutely loved, and I was convinced I wouldn't find anything comparable. Thankfully, I did. Diakadi is the absolute best, including Jon De Le Torre, my personal fitness guru! First, Diakadi is always incredibly clean, organized, calm and has the best vibe. People are so respectful of each other and the space. I am by no means a fitness star, so it is incredibly important to me that there are many different people in a space; Diakadi has folks of all abilities working on their fitness and I love that. When I joined the gym, I told Jon I wanted to focus on overall fitness, increasing my weight lifting potential, and staying strong for potential pregnancy in the coming few years. He answered with multiple 8-12 week programs. In about one year we've gone through an introductory phase, I trained for and ran a 10k, and now we've increased my core weightlifting movement capabilities by nearly 50%. If you're looking for a place that will support you in your goals and lift your spirits, Diakadi is the place!
Heck yeah Tiffany! Thank you so much for sharing this review and your story, and HUGE congratulations on the 10k and your boosted core strength. You are in excellent hands with Coach JDLT. You mentioned one of the traits that we are most proud of in our facility... a great 'vibe' space that feels welcoming and inclusive for every type of person. We greatly appreciate you 'spreading the love' to folks outside of our space so that anyone looking for a heart-led fitness community, will know where to find us. Keep pushing with Jon and we look forward to seeing what new goal achievements are down the road for you! All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI #yougotthis
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing experience! Fantastic gym, wonderful staff and the trainers are epic! I have been working with Dan Stahl and he is head and shoulders above the rest. A true professional who is hungry for more knowledge and education which is quickly implemented into his programs. With an athletic background and exercise science degree, I have seen and participated in my fair share of programs. He is cutting edge, effective and focuses on long term health, longevity and sustainability. Want a white glove experience with highly trained personal? This is your place, forget Equinox!
Thank you so much for this incredible review Corey. You are truly in amazing hands by working with Dan and we hope that you two continue to make some fitness magic and achieve the longterm health results that you are looking for in your programs. All our very best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: This is by far my favorite fitness experience in SF. I work with Jesse, and over the last year he's helped me be pain-free, build strength, and drop 25 pounds. The gym is a super supportive environment, I felt very welcomed joining as someone who couldn't do a squat (WITHOUT weight) and like I belonged just as much as the dude next to me doing twice his bodyweight in deadlifts. I've never gotten unwanted attention working out at Diakadi, rather folks are across the board respectful, motivated, and friendly. The BEST.
Thank you Jackie! You have seriously kicked some major BUTT this past year and I am psyched for you and these amazing results. I always talk to our team about bringing 'GLOW' to their work in here each day and I want you to know that the 'GLOW' that you bring in every week with you raises our glow bar in exponential ways. Not to mention how much I enjoy our amazing front desk talks on zucchini pollination, fig recipes and life! Here's to amazing things ahead for you in every way. With much gratitude and big hugs- Billy
Fantastic experience: I have been working out at DIAKADI for over a year now and I can say with certainty that it is the absolute best gym to train in the entire bay area! Before joining DIAKADI, I wasn't someone who worked out regularly and did not have a planned approach towards meeting my fitness goals and was looking for a place and a trainer to help me accomplish that. DIAKADI's intake process is quite detailed where they first asked me about what I was looking for and my goals and then used that information to match me to a personal trainer who is best suited to help me. I got the opportunity to work with two trainers so far - Dan Chavez Stahl and Austin Villamil and both of them are just amazing. They are both highly knowledgeable professionals who are fully invested in keeping me on track towards my progress. They developed highly strategic, focused programs that's tailored for me and refreshed it every couple of weeks, taught me corrective exercises and proper forms/ techniques for performing complex movements and also performed therapy work to help with specific injuries I had with my knee. They also created calorie charts for me, updating me every week on how much calories - carbs/ proteins/ fats I should be ingesting and tracked the data along with results from my body composition scans to factor in changes to our programs. I consider myself quite lucky that I got the opportunity to work with and learn so many things from the two of them! Talking a bit about the gym itself - it's probably the most well-equipped gym in the bay area. Spanning multiple floors and featuring ample room to workout, the gym has everything ranging from machines to free weights/ different types of equipment and grips and multiple tracks with sleds/ tanks. It also has separate lockers, showers, multiple massage/ therapy rooms and everything is extremely clean and well-maintained. The owners - Billy and Mike are just awesome folks and they are super helpful/ always there to greet me with a smile and check in with me on how things are going and provide encouragement! Overall, if you are someone looking to make a change/ improve on your fitness - DIAKADI is the place to be!
Deb - You left out the most amazing part of your story - THAT YOU LOST 22 LBS OF FAT IN THREE MONTHS! #seriousasskicker Thanks so much for taking the time to share your story and DIAKADI experience. We are very sad that you are moving back east soon but we are psyched knowing that you have all the tools and knowledge that you need in order to continue achieving any health and fitness goals you have ahead. All our very best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: I am a 19-year (!) veteran of Diakadi and I love it. I grew up with anxiety in gyms as an uncoordinated youth and adult. I trained with Billy Polson, one of the founders and he compeltely changed my attitude about working out. Although Billy no longer trains clients regularly, I am now with AJ Harper who is phenomenal in the way he keeps the workouts interesting and fun. I feel stronger and more flexible at 54 than I did at 30. I highly recommend the Diakadi experience. The gym is incredibly well-equipped with friendly clients and staff. It's also VERY clean.
Gary- Thank you mister for sharing this! You are literally a founding member of our family and I cannot begin to say how much we appreciate all of your years of support and sweat! It makes me incredibly proud to know the big role that DIAKADI has played in your life and health... and that is exactly why we do what we do in here every day. Here's to many more 'stronger and more flexible' years ahead! Huge hug- Billy
Fantastic experience: Diakadi is an excellent fitness studio with top notch trainers and a superb facility. I've been working out here for nearly a decade and not only greatly improved my fitness, but I've enjoyed the community built here at Diakadi!
Rene - You and Zinia are TRULY a part of our fitness family at DIAKADI and we love getting to see you all every week. Thank you so much for sharing a little bit about your experience and we are psyched to see what fun adventures we have in the years to come. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: My favorite gym in SF! Great equipment and a very welcoming environment with a friendly and helpful staff, and awesome trainers. I hadn't worked with a trainer before joining DIAKADI and also hadn't been working out regularly for the better part of a decade. I was looking for someone to help me with program design and a bit of coaching on some movements. I ended up working with trainer Michael Crammond to get me back on track. Michael develops really thoughtful programs to keep me progressing towards my strength and body composition goals and provides helpful feedback during our sessions together. On top of this, Michael is also able to do some manual therapy to work on muscle imbalances and strains in order to keep me healthy and able to continue working hard through the program. While I wasn't really looking for a trainer that can also do manual therapy, it's turned out to be really invaluable for me. I've been working with Michael at DIAKADI for 1.5 years now and I couldn't be happier with my choice. Overall, I've gained 17lbs of lean mass and lost 14.5lbs of fat (numbers via DEXA scan) since starting at DIAKADI, and I'm feeling better than ever.
Tony! Thank you so dang much for sharing your story! Your results have been incredible and it is no surprise with the true commitment that you have put into your training. You are in incredible hands with Michael and I am psyched to see what comes next for you. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I called the DIAKADI Gym for the SF Sheriff Physical Abilities Test. The owner Billy was so friendly he explained everything to me. I took a tour of the gym. It is well-equipped and spotless. I signed up for training with Randy Miranda. Randy is a very professional trainer and really cares about his clients. He is in excellent shape and has a very positive attitude. I passed the Sheriff's PAT test with record numbers. I genuinely appreciated the help of Billy Polson and Randy. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED to anyone looking for a great GYM and Personal Training.
Heck yeah! Thanks so much Faryad for sharing the incredible news about passing your Sheriff's test with record breaking scores! We are psyched to play a part in your big successes. You are truly in excellent hands with your advanced performance coach Randy and look forward to seeing what 2023 brings you. All our very best to you, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Best gym in SF, and a great local business.
Huge THANKS Andrew! We love seeing you and your great vibe in here with Joseph each week and wish you only the very best of success in the year ahead. #wegotthis Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Great gym started by an old customer that made me very happy it has been so successful after watching it grow from inception.
Hey RJ - Thank you so much for believing in us and for helping us with our original funding 19 years ago! What a wild journey it has been, starting with our original vision and growing into the DIAKADI brand and community of 2023. Stop in and see us anytime that you are in the neighborhood. All our very best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: Obsessed. Diakadi is THE destination for a complete fitness journey, and the entire staff they employ are the top of their game.
Kyra! You are SO wonderful for taking the time to spread this good word about DIAKADI and our team. We are so dang lucky to have you and your ginormous glow in here with us... as well as your expert mascara tips. :) Here's to amazing things ahead for you in 2023! All our very best, Billy, Mikey and the entire DIAKDI Family
Fantastic experience: I started at Diakadi in February 2022 and it was hands down one of my best decisions last year. I love the gym because it is welcoming, clean, spacious, and everyone is really friendly. I look forward to going to Diakadi every week because it is motivating to be around others who are invested in their health and who are encouraging of others' journeys, as well. I've trained with Zach the entire time that I've been at Diakadi. I had a bit of an inauspicious start to 2022 where I got injured left and right for a few months back-to-back, and I didn't know how I'd get back on track with the gym with so many injuries. Then I met Zach, who immediately made me feel like getting back on track was possible, and that I could train in a way that was safe. My goals were to lose body fat, and to change my training and nutrition into something that was sustainable. Zach has done that for me - he has set me up with a training program that is sustainable where I am training smarter and safer than I was before. He's helped me change the way I see nutrition and helped me understand how it makes my body feel, and how it affects performance at the gym. He also changes up my eating plans depending on what is going on in my life, and I appreciate the flexibility. Zach also helped me value and understand how sleep and recovery affect my goals. I am lifting heavier than I ever have before and certainly heavier than I thought I could with the injuries last year. I am setting PRs pretty often which surprises me every time. I have lost 20lbs of body fat and have put on about 6lbs of muscle. I have not reached my goals yet but I give all the credit to Zach for my progress so far. His guidance and his approach to fitness have been key to my progress because before him, I was just running myself into the ground with overtraining. Zach is very encouraging which makes training with him all the more fun and exciting. I look forward to seeing him every week. When I started last year, I only expected to train here for a couple of months. I am now coming up on a year at Diakadi and I know that it was the best decision I could've made for myself and my health to continue working on my goals with Zach. 10/10 would recommend. Thank you, Zach and Diakadi.
THANK YOU Raquel! You are honestly a HUGE inspiration to all of us here! You have worked your butt off to achieve your incredible 20 lb weight loss and strength/muscle gains, and we are thrilled to celebrate this continued success with you. Zach Scioli is an incredible coach and you two are obviously quite the dream team together. Here's hoping that 2023 brings you even more achievement. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this. All our best, Billy and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Diakadi provides high impact personalized fitness planning, resonant coaching and a great environment for working through any fitness challenge. I've been working with Aurora for the last 4-5 months on a number of fitness goals and her education, partnership and inspirational motivation has helped me exceed my personal goals. Ensuring that many muscles get strengthened, not just the big ones provides a deeper workout for overall body strength.
Elisa - Having been the matchmaker for you and Aurora, I am SO psyched that it has been such a successful pairing for you! Thank you SO much for taking the time to share this review of both DIAKADI and Aurora. You are literally in amazing hands with her combination of advanced fitness education AND being a licensed massage therapist. Here's to continued great achievements in your year ahead. All my best, Billy
Fantastic experience: Diakadi is a fabulous place to train. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I have been a member for 7 years and have worked with three trainers there during that time. I am stronger, faster, healthier and happier as a result of my work with them at this gym. Billy and Mike are compassionate, thoughtful, smart, caring owners who make sure that the gym - its vibe and physical presence - are kind and welcoming. I am a 62 year old white woman who feels comfortable there; it's a place that welcomes all abilities and ages. Billy and Mike and all the trainers value everyone's interest in his/her/their health and wellness.
Thank you so much for this kind review Anne! We are psyched that you have had such an amazing experience with all of your trainers. Thank you for truly being an inspirational athlete for all of us! Keep running and pushing in every way. All our best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: Diakadi is an incredible gym to work out at. Billy, Mike and the rest of the team have created a great facility. The gym is very clean, and has some equipment I haven’t seen elsewhere. The trainers here are equally excellent and use the gym to its full potential. My trainer (Brendon Walcoff) has helped me make great progress towards my goals all while keeping the workouts creative and fun. I love that the gym is not overly crowded like some of the other gyms nearby, so it’s a much more pleasant experience.
Anirudh! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback, and trust us, the feeling is mutual! You and your bright glow are always such a pleasure to see every week and we are psyched that your match up with Brendan has proven to be such an ideal fit as your coach. Here's to great workouts and results ahead for you. All our best, Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Quite an astonishing place. It's loaded with the best workout equipment!
Thank you SO much Abhishek for sharing this review. We pride ourselves on having an arsenal of equipment and plenty of space to run, jump and be an athlete in every way. #wegotthis
Fantastic experience: I’ve been training at Diakadi for several years now and have had the best experience. Previously I’d been a member at a general membership gym and always felt like just another number in their list of customers. Mike and Billy have created an intimate, friendly environment that never feels over-crowded or impersonal. I can always count on a warm greeting by everyone on the staff. The space is clean, comfortable, and fully stocked with all the equipment I need for a full-body workout. Highly recommend checking the space out for your fitness needs! These two great guys have really built something special here.
Jim! THANK YOU so much for your kind words and support in every way! We love getting to see you each week with Joseph for a workout... and of course a good share of Disney or horror movie gossip! Here's to more fun and sweat ahead - All our best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: Diakadi is the best gym in the city! The staff is wonderful, and we love our trainer, Joseph. If you’re looking for a personal training experience, you won’t find anyone friendlier or more excited to work with you on your fitness goals. I’ve been working out at Diakadi for three years, and I can’t see myself working out anywhere else!
Thank you so much Zach for taking the time to share this review! It is always the highlight of our Tuesday and Thursday nights to see you and share a GREAT laugh for the week. I am so glad that you have found such in ideal fit with Joseph and with DIAKADI. More great things ahead for sure! All our very best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: Diakadi provides a personalized gym experience with expert specialized trainers. As a competitive runner, I was looking for focused strength training to support my running goals and stay injury free. My trainer, Randy Miranda, who specializes in running was exactly what I needed. With the focus on individual training, the gym is never overly crowded and always welcoming. I couldn’t recommend Diakadi more!
Thank you so much for sharing this Katie! I am psyched that you have found an ideal fit with Randy as an advanced running coach and sports performance trainer. HUGE congratulations on your third place finish in San Jose half marathon last week and I hope that Randy was able to help out with some post race sports massage work as well. Even faster times ahead I am sure! We greatly appreciate your support and for spreading the love here with us. All our very best, Billy, Mike and Holly
Fantastic experience: TLDR: I couldn’t recommend Diakadi more highly. The space is great; their trainers are incredible. It’s not cheap, but it’s worth every penny. The vibe at Diakadi is something like high-end Soma warehouse meets high school gym. It’s upscale but not overly designed or pretentious like some gyms at this price point can be. There’s always good energy, though it’s never crowded – even during prime time. They have a ton of equipment; I’ve never had to wait for a squat rack or pair of dumbbells. The staff is warm and friendly, always greeting me by name. I really enjoy being in this space. The real magic happens, though, with their trainers. I was in a slump after 2 years of pandemic lockdowns – I’d gained some weight and wasn’t feeling great about what I saw in the mirror. I started working with Zach in January 2022, with the primary goal of losing fat and a longer-term goal of building some real muscle. We’re just over 3 months in, and I cannot believe the progress I’ve made. So far, I’ve lost 10lbs of weight overall while gaining meaningful muscle mass. My body fat has dropped 5%. I didn’t think of myself as much of an athlete, but with Zach’s coaching, I’m surpassing all my historic lifting achievements, and I’m continuing to hit PRs every week. I’m starting to see a 6-pack – something I’ve never had and didn’t think I was capable of. My clothes are fitting better, and friends are commenting on the transformation. Just incredible results! Zach really knows his stuff. I love understanding the “why” behind each exercise. Zach does a great job explaining both the physiological impact of each move and how they fit into our broader program. And while he provides exceptional nutrition and exercise coaching, his holistic approach extends much further. We’ve worked on sleep quality, digestive health, drinking water quality, stress management, mindfulness, social relationships, and more. Zach’s helped me learn how they all play a role in overall well-being. Zach is exceptionally talented, kind, and knowledgeable. I’m excited to continue working together and can’t wait to see what else we’re able to achieve!
Vince, thank you SO much for taking the time to share your experience and even more importantly YOUR AMAZING RESULTS! Seeing you in here consistently for both your workouts with Zach and your homework, we are not surprised at all that you have had such incredible weight loss and muscle gain in only three months. Zach's powerful education combination of advanced personal trainer programming and being a Board Certified Health Coach makes him such an incredible wealth of knowledge. We are psyched that it has worked out so well for you! Here's to more lifting PRs, showing 'six packs', and wellness upgrades in the months ahead! #yougotthis
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love DIAKADI. The trainers are world-class, the staff are kind and supportive, and I genuinely get excited to get in my workout in their facilities. Working out in a space in which everyone is receiving personalized and customized guidance to maximize their performance and achieve their fitness goals also creates an incredibly positive and community-oriented atmosphere.
Thank you Patrick! We are psyched that your work with Randy has been so successful over the last year... and BIG congratulations on your Oakland 10k! Randy's work as an advanced running coach, massage therapist and advanced personal trainer have developed him into a triple threat trainer and an ideal match for runners like you. So keep kicking butt Patrick! We appreciate your hard work, support and continued trust in every way! Great things ahead.
Fantastic experience: I joined DIAKADI in January of 2020, after years of working out on my own and not feeling particularly healthy. The staff at DIAKADI paired me up with Ricky, who not only focused on exercise but also nutrition. His background as a golf instructor also helped to tailor some of the exercises to help my core stability, flexibility, and to improve my swing. DIAKADI kept me going through the height of the pandemic - for a few months the gym moved outdoors so that we could continue training until it was safe to move back inside. Ricky (unfortunately for me) moved overseas to pursue his dreams, but we remain friends and in close contact. I've since started training with Damon, who is a paramedic by day, and brings all kinds of energy, enthusiasm, and a passion for learning that keeps me motivated. The best thing I can say about DIAKADI is that it's a community focused on wellness - there's no pretense, no judgement - everyone there is just there to feel and look well and support each other. There are people training at DIAKADI in all sizes, shapes, and at different points in their fitness journey. Billy, Mike, and Holly have built an amazing culture and a place where I feel like I belong, and that is priceless to me.
Thank you SO much Brian for taking the time to share your story! Throughout the last two years, seeing you ride up to the gym on your scooter each week throughout the pandemic was one of the few things that remained a wonderful constant for us. It means the world that DIAKADI has become such a supportive spot for you to focus on your wellness work and we look forward to seeing where 2022 takes you! Keep kicking major butt! All our very best, Billy Mike Holly and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Francisco is the best trainer in the city! Listens to your goals and also opens your eyes to new ideas and perspective. Anyone who has rated him less than 5 stars was clearly not looking for results. If you want to push yourself and change the way you view fitness francisco is who you want!
Heck yeah Jennifer - Thanks so much for giving this shout out for Francisco! He is a giant hearted, driven educator and coach that truly lives what he teaches and we are honored to have him on our advanced coaches team. And thank you for being such a committed client for almost a year now. All our best, Billy and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: Started working with Brendon (guy on left in the banner) sometime last year to get myself back on track, and joined their open gym early January. Brendon is incredibly flexible with his sessions and have provided me training plans so that I can achieve my goals on my own. This is a 2-story gym with incredibly well-kept equipment for weight and HIIT training; never really a wait time when I'm in. Convenient location—located in SoMa area with Lyft bike station just a block away; Costco, Trader Joe's are just around the corner for your after-session grocery needs. A big shout out to the owners Mike and Billy who been incredibly supportive in my fitness journey as well!
Thank you so much Josh for taking the time to share such a nice review for Brendon and for DIAKADI. It is so FUN to see your smile come in each week, ESPECIALLY for those homework workouts, and we are very happy that our little fitness community has become your fitness home too. Keep up the strong work mister and great things will stay ahead in 2022! All our very best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: If you want to have a great and personalized gym / weight training experience, you can't go wrong with Diakadi in South of Market. Owners Mike and Billy run a terrific training center that caters to serious weightlifters, or to folks who just want to stay healthy and in shape. They attract world-class trainers that believe in the power of positive reinforcement. Very friendly and open gym. Been a member for over a decade. Super impressed with how they managed the pandemic, always putting members well-being first.
Mark - Happy 10 year anniversary on January 30! Thank you so much for TEN years of hard work and support ... AND for taking the time to share these kind thoughts about our community. We also love and are so proud of the wide range of supportive clients in here. That unique mix of folks is what makes our community such a special, inclusive place. Only the very best ahead for all of us in 2022! With great appreciation, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a private training facility where there is no judgement, trainers/owners that are constantly improving their fitness & health knowledge, technique & skills, then Diakadi is your place. The staff and trainers are welcoming, friendly, professional and get you the results you are looking for. I have been a client of Diakadi's for many years and always look forward to my sessions here. Truly the best gym in SF!
Scott - you are 100% on our 'originals' crew, since 2008! It is hard to believe that it has been 14 years and we cannot say how much we appreciate all of your trust and support throughout every year, month and workout. Great things ahead! GIANT hug - Mike and Billy
Fantastic experience: I began working out at DIAKADI in the Spring of 2019, at a self-determined low point of my physical condition and feeling beyond stressed from daily life. Since then, they have been a mainstay of my physical and mental health. Training primarily with Austin Villamil of Whole Body Solutions, I lost 35 pounds that year alone; I was welcomed and encouraged by my trainers and the whole DIAKADI staff every step of that grueling process. They are far-and-away the best and most inclusive environment for fitness that I have encountered in San Francisco. There is a home for every skill level and goal within the walls of DIAKADI. You may be a few feet from someone performing in ways you think you could only dream of and yet, this is a safe space for you to be yourself and grow at your own pace. It is difficult for me to imagine all the gains I may have lost in the pandemic, if I did not have the community fiber and fortitude of this space and the people working behind it. To boot, It is clean, well-maintained, and has an enviable inventory of equipment. It has always been a worthwhile investment and they are worth every penny!
Thank you so dang much Dru for your kind words, support and hard work! You have been working your butt off with Austin as well as on your own, and you have earned every one of those gains in your fitness and health. Your butt kicking results raise our entire community's bar! Great things ahead in 2022! All our best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: The owners Billy and Mike are wonderful. I’ve been going to Diakadi for 13 years seeing my trainer Shelby. I highly recommend this gym, it’s clean, modern and has all the equipment you could ask for. They have the option of a non-binary shower and bathroom area with private stalls which is a game changer for folks who are trans and non-binary! Shelby is one of the best trainers and people I’ve ever worked with. (I was a collegiate athlete) I’ve had numerous injuries over the years and she has always been able to support me and help me get back in the gym. 5 years ago I moved 30 minutes south of SF and even though I now work remotely I still drive up to the city to get in a session (they follow all the COVID protocols). I highly recommend Shelby and Diakadi!
13 years Tristan! Holy moley! It has been so wonderful having you in our community for all of these years and we wish you only the VERY best as you head down to Southern California. If you are ever back in the Bay Area, please stop in and say 'Hi!' You will always have a fitness home here. All our very best- Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: Best Gym in SF, Hands Down Before joining Diakadi in 2013, I must admit I found most gyms rather intimidating. I would usually find machines I was familiar with and go about my normal, ‘boring’ workout. But when I joined Diakadi, and I was matched up with my incredible trainer, Gavin, my gym ‘routine’ became anything but. A loyal member for 9 years, I can attest that the results speak for themselves. I now have the knowledge to diversify my workouts with free weights, and the confidence to take on new, more challenging programs including compound movements (such as an overhead squat). What’s so rad, is how these fun and engaging exercises have had a direct and positive impact on the pursuit of my hobbies. My snowboarding skills have multiplied given my increased strength and my stamina on the mountain gets better year over year, (something I am particularity proud of as I enter my 40’s). Come springtime, Gavin will change up our area of focus and get me ready for golf season. As far as the facility itself is concerned, Diakadi offers an experience second-to-none. Not once, in almost 10 years of training have I ever had to wait for equipment needed for a workout. The owners, Billy and Mike, work diligently with their entire team of trainers to make sure resources are being used judiciously and efficiently. Weights and accessories like elastic bands, foam rollers etc are plentiful and always stacked and stored with great care (something that my OCD tendencies very much appreciates). As far as COVID protocols go, I feel incredibly safe. All members and staff are fully vaccinated, there are plentiful hand sanitizing stations, great ventilation, and they even have color-coded towel stations to indicate which are to be used for personal use, and which are to be used for equipment wipe downs. If you are looking to join a great community and gym, look no further than Diakadi
Thanks Laird! Over these last nine years, you have definitely become one of our family members! Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your ongoing support for DIAKADI and your Coach Gavin in every way. Here's to amazing things ahead in 2022! All our best, Billy and Mike
Fantastic experience: This is my 3rd year coming to Diakadi and I absolutely love it. It's pretty much my second home at this point! The staff and trainers are excellent and the facilities are more than enough. Mike and Billy have done such a great job managing the place and I'll definitely keep coming back.
A HUGE thanks Jim! It makes me SO DANG happy to hear that you call DIAKADI your second home. We truly LOVE seeing you and your good vibes in here with Michael each week and we very much appreciate your continued support. Here's to AMAZING things ahead in 2022! All my best, Billy
Fantastic experience: Diakadi is where I’ve recovered from double knee surgeries. They have an incredibly knowledgeable staff and the best specialized care I have received in Sam Francisco. The double turf facility has ample room for all kinds of movement training that is only limited by the staffs creativity. This space got me from crutches to jogging this year.
Thanks Tyler for taking the time to share this wonderful review. You have honestly killed it throughout all of your work with Dr McGill and the Physical TheraPT team. Keep pushing and keep 'jogging' and we hope 2022 brings an even stronger year for you. All our very best, Mike, Billy + Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I absolutely LOVE this place - the moment I walked through the door I felt welcomed by the incredibly friendly staff, the space is just beautiful and it's always such a pleasure to work out and get my sweat on. DIAKADI's team of Personal Trainer is absolutely top-level and awe inspiring. If you are looking for the best gym experience in San Francisco look no further than DIAKADI!
Thanks Rolf! It has been wonderful witnessing your growth in strength and confidence while working with Dan, Joe and Kevin. We greatly appreciate your continued trust and support and look forward to seeing what achievements 2022 brings your way. Happy New Year! Billy
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough great things about my experience at Diakadi over the last 14 months. The staff is professional yet friendly; the gym is utilitarian yet sparkling clean; the environment is serious yet not intimidating. I was new to working out when I began my sessions with Aurora, but never felt out of place alongside people who have clearly been doing this for a very long time. I truly feel at home there and would recommend Diakadi to anyone who is looking for a place to start (or continue!) their fitness journey.
Thank you Cristina!! You and Max joined our community right in the middle of the pandemic and we so appreciate all of the love and support that you have shared with us, not to mention all of your butt kicking workouts with Aurora. We are extremely lucky that you continue to consider us your 'fitness home', and we are psyched to see what 2022 has in store for you. All our best, Billy, Holly + Mike
Fantastic experience: My experience training at Diakadi has been nothing short of exceptional. The staff, the trainers (especially Aurora), and owners Mike and Billy are all wonderful people. Supportive, positive, inclusive - Diakadi has truly fostered a community that is fun and productive to be part of. This gym is like no other - small, personalized, clean and welcoming. This has allowed me to reach goals I never thought I’d reach. Couldn’t recommend Diakadi more!
Thanks so dang much Max, for being so generous of heart and for bringing such great vibes to your workouts! We truly look forward to seeing you and Cristina in here with us every week as you continue to kick some serious butt with Aurora. Happy New Year ahead in 2022! Billy, Mike + Holly
Fantastic experience: This is an unsolicited review for Roland Borys a trainer @ Diakadi. When I turned 30, I started to experience more injuries in my day to day activities (I am an avid skier/climber/runner/cyclist/blah blah) and was getting PT referrals every 3 months or so for some new issue I needed to baby so that I could get back to full fitness. I took a look at Diakadi because I figured preventively training with a professional every week to strengthen my body *before* a new injury hit would keep me out of PT and ultimately allow me to breakout of the injury cycle. Going into the process, I planned to just do a month or two of the workouts and then break off on my own so that I could save the money and workout on my own time - I also had pretty negative experiences with "bro-y" trainers who didn't seem really to care in the past. Nine months of training with Roland later (1 hour/wk), I couldn't imagine *not* going to Diakadi every week. Roland is a masterclass. He is cerebral yet fit as hell. He is extremely attentive and always ready to go with a custom regiment tailored to your needs that he efficiently deploys throughout the session. He is also just very enjoyable to be around which makes it feel like you are working out with a good friend (which I guess is now the case ;) The best part is the results though! For the first time in many years, I feel stronger, more limber and have increased my endurance across a range of activities - it feels amazing to be getting older but improving as a amateur athlete and this translates directly into greater work productivity and happiness for me ;) Bottom line, training with Roland is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Thank you so much Chris for taking the time to share such an incredible testimonial about your work with Roland. Nothing beats feeling strong and ready for anything that life throws your way and we are psyched that you have stepped into your full power after working with Roland. We hope that you have an incredible year of strong adventures ahead in 2022. All the very best, Billy
Fantastic experience: The welcoming atmosphere, badass community of clients and trainers, and level of expertise at DIAKADI is truly unbeatable. They go above and beyond to make sure you’re at home which is exactly what it’s been for me for years. The people, the equipment, the gains. It’s all amazing. I’m proud to train and be trained here and if you’re reading this, WHAT are you waiting for!
HUGE thank you Aurora! It has been such an amazing six years of having you in our community and we look forward to many more ahead. #wegotthis - Billy + Mike
Fantastic experience: I have been training clients out of here for the last ten years! It's a great place to train clients. The front desk staff and owners are very supportive and help with business opportunities. I would recommend this place for other potential trainers to run their business out of.
You are the best Derrick! Thank you for your kind words and for continuing to be such an educational leader in our gym family. We are very lucky to have you. All our best- Billy + Mike
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI is premiere gym in San Francisco! I’ve been running my business there for 16 yrs. DIAKADI has been there every step of the way for much needed support and guidance during my process of building my clientele and expanding my business. If you are trainer looking to train your clients or a client looking for the best gym experience in town, DIAKADI is the place!
Tommy! We LOVE having you and all of your hard working clients in our community... FOR 16 YEARS! Thank you so much for taking the time to share this review and for your continued trust in the DIAKADI brand. Great things ahead in 2022 for sure! Big love, Billy, Mike, and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI is hands down the very best private training facility in the SF/Bay Area. Both the all-star team of trainers and gym have been consistently voted #1 in SF for a reason! Exceptional staff, services, and facility ✅ Best team of trainers in SF ✅ Warm hearted, supportive, and diverse community ✅ Whether you are a client looking to take your training to the next level OR a fitness professional looking for a great facility to run your independent business>>> DIAKADI is the top choice 10 out of 10 definitely recommend!
Wow - Thanks Josh for this incredible review and list of accolades for us! Admittedly, one of the things that we are most proud of is our 'warm hearted, supportive, diverse community'. Especially after this last year, the community at DIAKADI has come together in powerful ways at every level. We constantly talk about the 'Ubuntu spirit' of our 'fitness family' and how it is a true differentiator for DIAKADI in the fitness industry of San Francisco. Thank you for being such a heart forward member of our community! Ubuntu for life - Billy
Fantastic experience: This is the spot to go if you're looking for a personalized fitness experience with a trainer who will help you achieve your goals. And the facility is amazing! Not like the usual dingy gym experience we all avoid. Give it a try!
Brendon - It means the world that you point out the personalized experience that we offer to our clients. Our trainers' in-depth assessments lead directly to their truly individualized fitness programs which are the major reason that our clients' receive such GREAT RESULTS! Then, your A+ for our facility design and for the 'white glove' cleanliness test makes us swell with pride. DIAKADI is truly a sanctuary for us and we are psyched that it is for you as well. With great appreciation in every way - Billy
Fantastic experience: DIAKADI has been part of my community of fitness for years and is the best gym I have belonged to. A few years ago they served to help me through a knee rehab with their amazing physical therapist, Heather. And through the pandemic, they have worked to keep everyone safe while providing great space for me and my trainer, Justin, while providing access to all the equipment needed. I can't thank Billy, Mike, Holly and the rest of the staff enough! I would highly recommend.
Thanks Becky! You truly have the Dream Team with Heather and Justin! Thank you for your kind words and even more for you years of support and trust in our work. We have the knee is stronger than ever and we are excited to continue having you as a member of our fitness community. #wegotthis Billy, Mike, Holly and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I am proud to practice at this facility. The DIAKADI management, staff, trainers and other clinical providers are exceptional, compassionate and strive to be their best each day for their colleagues and clients.
Heather, you and your Physical TheraPT team are an integral part of the success of our clients and trainers. Thank you for sharing your business and expertise with our community and for helping every one of us with staying pain free and strong for whatever performance needs we face in our lives. We appreciate you! Billy, Mike and Team DIAKADI
Fantastic experience: I have been a coach at Diakadi for 6 years. I have literally experienced all aspects of the training world. Through thick and thin, this place has been a rock for me. I am so grateful to Billy and Mike for keeping such an empathetic and engaging atmosphere for my fellow trainers and for keeping such a professional and playful gym space for my clients. I have travelled to 12 different countries in my life and been in the coaching business officially for 10 years. This is literally heaven on earth for us trainers and all the people who decide to live their best lives through our coaching. From the clean and tidy workout space to the invested and interesting work environment, DIAKADI is the place to be.
There could not be a more incredible description for DIAKADI than 'Heaven on Earth for Trainers'! I will also add ... 'for clients too'. Tycho, we greatly appreciate your big hearted review and your continued trust in choosing to run your practice out of our DIAKADI facility. You and your clients are a 'glowing' part of our community! Big love right back to you. Billy
Fantastic experience: Listen up people. If you are considering working with a physical trainer and/or going to a gym, you don't even need to think about going anywhere else. Forgot your notions of what a “gym” is because Diakadi is better than that all of that. The moment I walk through the doors, my mood is lifted, I feel welcome, and I can focus again. At Diakadi, we are not just invited but supported and encouraged to take care of what matters—our physical, emotional, and psychological wellbeing—so we can show up for others we care about, our work, and life in general. It is unlike any other fitness and/or wellness experience I know and at 53, I have experienced many of them: Jazzercise (memba that?) yoga, Pilates, boxing, kickboxing, Cross-Fit, spinning, swimming, dance, weight training, meditation, nutrition clinics, triathlon training groups, etc. etc. etc. I had the privilege of working with Billy, and what I learned about my body and how it works, what it needs, and how it heals has had more influence on my wellness than anything else. Hands down. Billy and Mike have dedicated their hearts and souls to building an inclusive, motivating, highly professional, and fun community that meets you where you are and provides you with tools and strategies to feel successful, confident, and excel in whatever way is important for you. The trainers are the best of the best. Also, it’s crazy fun. So fun, I look forward to it.
Thank you Michelle! We are so dang proud of our 'kind hearted community' and feel fortunate that it is filled with wonderful folks like yourself. I personally think that you and I need to bring back the Jazzercise vibe... OUTFITS AND ALL! BIG love right back at you! Billy
Fantastic experience: Love this place! Great trainers and great equipment! Very well spaced out / thought out gym arrangement, I never feel crowded
Thank you Lowell for taking the time to share this. It means a lot to hear your feedback on the layout as one of our main goals is to give trainers and clients LOADS of open floor space to run, jump and be as athletic as they wish, without any concern with crowds! We greatly appreciate your continued support.
