Custom Fit

Negative experience: I visited for a session with Carl to address a knee injury from cycling. While I appreciate approaches to healing, the session felt unfocused. Carl spent most of the time working on areas unrelated to my knee, and when I asked for clarification, he explained that my elbow was connected to my knee and required attention. I left feeling like my concerns weren’t directly addressed. Unfortunately, this approach didn’t feel effective for me, and I wouldn’t return.

Fantastic experience: Training sessions with Leo at Custom Fit have exceeded my expectations. Great vibe, top-notch coaching, and awesome results!

Fantastic experience: If you’re serious about fitness, train with Leo at Custom Fit. His personalized approach gets results fast!

Fantastic experience: Bright, clean gym; Leo’s coaching keeps you inspired to improve.

Fantastic experience: Working with Leo at Custom Fit has been a great experience. He's so knowledgeable as to the proper form and science behind effective weight training. He'll customize to your goals keeping in mind your fitness level, and how much you want to challenge yourself. Workouts feel fun and you'll definitely see results! 10 out of 10!

Fantastic experience: I love Custom Fit. They are a comprehensive gym/wellness center. The facilities are immaculate and the atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive. I cannot say enough good things about Lance. He's knowledgeable about fitness, stretching and many other health related topics. He's motivating and kind and works with a wide variety of clients from athletes to seniors. I'd definitely recommend him.

Fantastic experience: Working with James Cocoa has been the best thing that has happened to my fitness. Previously working on my own, I wasn't able to consistently see improvement without re-injuring some ailing issues, but no longer. James is dedicated and knowledgeable and has helped design a workout plan to achieve my goals. The facilities at Custom Fit are great as well, with the gym seldom crowded when I am working out! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to CustomFit by a colleague and couldn't be more excited to continue my health + fitness journey with them! I understand I am not an easy client since I've had multiple (6x!) knee surgeries and my trainer, James Cho, is hyperaware of how to modify, push, and sustain mobility across the board. He geeks out on exercise science (I love it; I studied it in undergrad so he keeps me honest!) and is unlike any trainer I have had given he is proving he really gets the human body and movement patterns. He is also mindful to correct my form and proactively setting me up for success if work/personal travel takes me away from the gym floor with virtual workout programming. In addition, I am also starting to leverage both Tarah (RDN) and Brett (DPT) @ CustomFit and so thrilled that I have my very own 'wellness + medical team' to kickstart 2025!

Fantastic experience: If you're thinking of investing in your health, I highly recommend training with James Coca! I started training with James about 6 months ago and it's been an amazing experience. From the very outset, working with James has been an absolute pleasure - James personalizes every session to your training goals and to how your body is feeling. When I started training, I was looking for someone who could help me make consistent and steady progress starting from zero and James has been fantastic in that regard. He makes every session fun and worthwhile. S-tier trainer!

Fantastic experience: James Coca with Custom Fit is an outstanding trainer who truly goes above and beyond. From the start, he took the time to listen to my needs and goals, running a thorough assessment to identify areas to focus on. He then designed a personalized program to meet my specific needs. As someone new to weightlifting, I wanted to make sure I was going about it correctly, and James guided me every step of the way. He ensures I maintain proper form, explains the techniques and the theory behind them, and has given me the confidence to feel like I’m doing it right. James consistently checks in to make sure I’m meeting my goals and adjusts my program as needed and to keep things fresh. He’s also given me actionable advice to maximize my progress outside of our sessions, which has been invaluable as a busy dad short on time. The results speak for themselves—I've seen steady, consistent progress and couldn’t be more satisfied with the outcomes. On top of all that, James is a great guy to chat with, making every session enjoyable. I can’t recommend James Coca highly enough to anyone looking to get serious about their fitness journey! Custom Fit's facilities are also top notch and add to the positive experience, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with James Coca for over a year and a half now, and I couldn’t be more impressed with his approach. I had never been to a gym before starting with him, but now I genuinely enjoy my sessions. James is calm, knowledgeable, and always prepares exercises tailored to my needs and my fitness level. Exercising with him has given me the confidence to try new activities on my own that I never thought I’d attempt. Thanks to his expertise, I’ve seen measurable changes in my body and made consistent progress. I highly recommend James to anyone looking for a professional, supportive trainer who helps you push your limits!

Fantastic experience: Friendly and welcoming, with a nice mix of ages among the clientele. Some of the trainers work as gym employees, others are independent contractors with their own training business.

Fantastic experience: Wesley Woo is an amazing trainer. His tips and corrections on form really helped me get to heavier weights faster and safely, which was my goal. He pushed me past where I thought I could go each time and that was a lesson that reached far beyond just strength training. Such great, positive coaching, but in his very chill Wesley way. He is so good, so knowledgeable, so on top of every little detail with form. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with James Coca at Custom Fit for the last two years. He is a dedicated, reliable, and thoughtful trainer. I really appreciate how he focuses on proper form, always checking to see that I'm doing the movement correctly rather than focusing on loading up the heaviest weight possible. His approach has really worked to build my confidence in trying new exercises and new routines.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with James Coca at Custom Fit! He was my personal trainer for the past few months and I can say that I’ve learned so much about strength training within a fun, challenging environment. He tailored my program to my running training, which ultimately helped me to achieve a PR in the half marathon I ran recently! He educated me thoroughly on the different exercises I was doing (including form, what that exercise was targeting, etc.) which built my confidence when training on my own. I highly recommend James, especially if you’re looking to implement strength training to assist in other sports such as running! I always looked forward to my sessions and he was extremely accommodating when I wasn’t able to make certain training sessions.

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and excellent trainers. I started coming to Custom Fit after tearing two discs in my lower back over two years ago. I began with solo training sessions for a year before my fiance starting joining me for partner sessions. The training regiments are “custom fit” to your needs, so in my two years there we have focused on core strength and lower back mobility while also getting in a full body workout. My current trainer Charles has been a true inspiration and i highly recommend him to anyone who thinks they lack the inner strength to overcome any physical adversity life has thrown at you.

Fantastic experience: I love Evan the owner - he is the man!

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently signed up for personal training at CF and was paired with Stefan. I’ve been working out on my own for quite a while and tried most classes under the sun (Barry’s, Rumble, CrossFit, Equinox, other personal training gyms…). I can confidently say even after a few weeks that working with Stefan has been the most fun, enjoyable and effective training I’ve experienced so far. Not only is he super knowledgable on the technical component of building a strong and healthy body, he helped me breakthrough my mental barriers by helping me set small goals, stay consistent, and push through my perceived limitation and comfort zones. I’ve been progressing on strength and mobility much faster than I expected all the while loving the process. It’s an incredible feeling to be able to get stronger and I’m motivated to keep the rest of my fitness goals on track. I highly recommend checking outCF and set up a time with Stefan. Just please don’t take my 7am spot ❤️.

Fantastic experience: James Coca at CustomFit has been my trainer for the past year, and it's been life-changing! I'm a pretty sedentary person my nature, and combined with a busy work schedule and a young child, I haven't been able to really exercise consistently...ever? So I was pretty skeptical how much of a difference personal training could make (I've done it before elsewhere and just felt bad the whole time - too exhausted from tough workouts and judged by the trainer for being flabby)...but James is soooo different. He's got incredibly welcoming energy, and is so good at ramping up to a pace that feels achievable, yet also pushes your limits. I immediately saw results without feeling beat up at the end of a workout. James also always shares with me the science and physiology behind what we're doing. He's helped me understand and recognize what muscle groups are working for each exercise, and that has made me infinitely more aware of my own body. We started with weight training because it actually burns more fat than pure cardio. And it was incredible to pretty quickly be able to lift my school-age son like it was nothing! Whenever I felt like I was plateauing because it was so hard to make time for exercise, James would brainstorm with me different approaches of incorporating activity with my schedule. By creating micro-goals that felt achievable, I'm now someone who is working out in some capacity - swimming, running, dance classes, etc - several times a week (and actually look forward to it!). I can't recommend James and CustomFit enough - working with him there has transformed not just my body, but my whole attitude towards physicality!

Fantastic experience: I have had a fantastic experience here with with Lizzy G. I'm a trained classical dancer and appreciate her care and expertise. She finds new ways of helping me train muscle groups to fire together without other unnecessary muscles engaging, works with me on balance, agility and upper body strength. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: Stefan has been a wonderful trainer. He is super helpful and understanding. He also is just great to talk and really listens. I’d highly recommend getting a trainer at CustomFit. I have really enjoyed my time there.

Fantastic experience: Overall, Custom Fit is an amazing studio with world-class staff in every aspect of their business. Custom Fit has exceeded all of my expectations and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone looking to start or continue their health journey. I will specifically highlight Tarah, Jonathan, Nia and Evan below but before I do, I want to highlight how much Custom Fit offers. I love that they have showers (with Aesop products!) as well as a recovery room with Cold Plunge & Infrared Sauna, DEXA/VO2 Max, Bloodwork, Nutrition, Personal Training, Amazing Gyms and more! They truly have everything one could want. I found Custom Fit initially when looking for a place to do a DEXA scan in April 2023. I had wonderful experience with Evan who walked me through my scan without judgement and provided me with all the information I needed to understand the scan in its entirety. Following my DEXA scan - and per Evan's suggestion - I signed up to work with a nutritionist, Tarah. Tarah has been a critical part of my health journey and I am so thankful for her tips and motivation over the last 6 months. Working with her, I have successfully lost 20lbs+ and feel stronger, healthier and more confident than I ever have in my life. More importantly, she has changed my relationship to food and has even gotten me into cooking! I am so thankful for her and again, feel lucky to have access to Tarah as well as DEXA/other resources all at one studio. Lastly, this review would not be complete without highlighting my personal trainer, Jonathan. I have struggled to find gyms/fitness classes that I have stuck to and have been self-conscious about getting back to the gym after gaining weight/not prioritizing enough time to fitness throughout the pandemic. I was matched with Jonathan and from day one have felt comfortable and supported by him. I love the workouts he programs and can feel myself getting stronger every week. He challenges me every session and I always leave feeling accomplished and with a smile on my face after all his funny stories - a great distraction during the tough workouts he plans. I look forward to coming into the gym each time we meet and highly recommend Jonathan to anyone looking for a tough but empathetic and motivating trainer. Similarly, if you are looking for an awesome way to start your morning (and want to get a taste of Custom Fit before signing up for 1:1 Training), check out Nia's group fitness classes! They kick your butt but Nia's energy is contagious! Thank you, Custom Fit!

Fantastic experience: If you’re on the hunt for a top-tier personal trainer, look no further than Brandon! My wife, Megan, and I had the privilege of working with him in preparation for our wedding, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From day one, Brandon demonstrated a profound knowledge of fitness. Not just the usual workout routines and exercises, but he delved deep into the mechanics of movement, understanding individual body types, and curating tailor-made regimens that aligned perfectly with our personal goals. His expertise is evident in the way he approaches training — focusing not just on aesthetics, but also on overall health, strength, and well-being. What truly sets Brandon apart, however, is his ability to keep things engaging. With each session, he introduced innovative exercises and routines that kept us on our toes (sometimes quite literally!). Megan and I never once felt like we were just going through the motions — each workout was a fresh, exhilarating challenge that we looked forward to. But it wasn’t just the workouts. Brandon’s infectious enthusiasm, coupled with his genuine commitment to our fitness journey, made every session feel like we were hanging out with a friend who just happened to be an absolute fitness guru. His light-hearted demeanor and encouragement made the sweat and sore muscles all worth it. Thanks to Brandon, Megan and I not only achieved our fitness goals but surpassed them. We felt strong, confident, and radiant on our wedding day, and we owe a huge chunk of that to Brandon’s unparalleled training. For anyone seeking a personal trainer who combines expertise with fun, Brandon is your go-to. We couldn’t recommend him more highly!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. The staff are so helpful and educated. The nutrition/dietician services are spectacular. So informative and motivating!

Fantastic experience: I came to Custom Fit one year ago and I'm happy I did. I run my business, San Francisco Integrative Massage out of the Custom Fit Market Street location because they are top notch in every way. The space is clean and the environment is welcoming and fun. It's a relief to be able to refer clients to the trainers here because I know they're some of the best in the city. If you're looking for a trainer, nutritionist, dietician, sports massage therapist, physical therapy... they have it all! Check out the cold plunge & infrared sauna too. Highly recommend Custom Fit!

Fantastic experience: I just started with Custom Fit last week. Two sessions in and I am hooked. I have not been to a gym or had a personal trainer in 20+ years, so I was very nervous about it considering that I am fairly unfit. I’ve partnered up with Anthony Dandrea as my trainer and it’s been nothing short of amazing. The facilities are great. It’s not crowded and everyone in the gym is just doing their thing, so my fears of people watching me are totally unfounded. In two sessions, Anthony took the time to get to know me, hear about my goals, and then he met me where I am currently at with fitness. I know he will push me, but he delivers it in such an encouraging and positive way, it honestly feels like I just have a friend cheering me on from the sidelines. Anthony and the team at Custom Fit should be super proud. Highly recommended and ready to keep booking sessions.

Fantastic experience: Custom Fit = State of the Art Equipment = Nice Aesthetics & Plant Decor = Friendly Trainers and Clients = Very Clean = Nice Owners As a personal trainer who has been in and out of so many gyms for the entirety of my 15x years as a trainer.. I feel at home here hosting my clients sessions and my own workouts. I have seen my clients get great results from working out at Custom Fit. Rehab clients, sports clients, elder clients, weight loss, etc. The space sells itself. Come check it out and see for yourself. Of note.. I am not an employee of Custom Fit, rather, I am a private trainer who pays to host my sessions out of the 3x different studios Custom Fit has. I love the locations and how easy it is for my clients to gain access to the studios with their own entry code numbers. The showers are really clean and there is also towel service! I look forward to many more sessions and workouts here :) Stay flexing! Chris Moen

Fantastic experience: Custom Fit is a phenomenal personal training studio! I just completed my 10th session and cannot rate or recommend this studio highly enough! Top of the line equipment and space, super clean, friendly staff and patrons. Brandon Tran is an amazing personal trainer, and I'm seeing a ton of results from his personalized and customized programming for me and my goals! Run, don't walk, to Custom Fit!

Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience working with Pete at Custom Fit! It's a super clean gym with great equipment - both basics and some speciality pieces - and is never too crowded. Pete is friendly and easy-going, and consistently designs workouts that are fun, challenging, and satisfying.

Fantastic experience: I have had a *phenomenal* experience at Custom Fit. My trainer Chris Finlez is perfectly matched to me both in my training needs and personality. Just an excellent, flexible, highly skilled trainer and on top of that has physical therapy experience which has come in handy for my lower back issues and shoulder problems. He also adjusts my training based on my fitness habits outside of the gym, keeping a close eye on my hips and knees as I am an active walker/runner. On top of all of this, the DEXA scan was unbelievably insightful, showing my imbalances, my bone density, and my weak points based on my age. Cannot express enough how great this place is if you are a data nerd like myself. The gym in Hayes Valley is very cool, open, not crowded, clean and focused on strength and flexibility. This isn't the place to just come and jump on a cardio machine - its a holistic experience with racks, sleds, ropes, stability balls, lots of weight machines, foam rollers, and a dope ice plunge bath and sauna. Love Custom Fit!

Fantastic experience: Super rad gym! We did a recover session here in the plunge and sauna. Very clean and well maintained. Top of the line equipment. Recommend anyone checking it out.

Fantastic experience: Great gym for personal training, you can do partner training with a friend or significant other which is great. Pete Fonteneau is excellent!!

Fantastic experience: It is a fantastic studio with an incredibly inviting, diverse, inclusive environment and staff. I've had the pleasure of being partnered with Charles to continue my wellness and strength training journey, and he has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals. My primary objective was to strengthen my body, improve mobility, and enhance overall flexibility to alleviate various pains I was experiencing. Charles has exceeded my expectations in every way. He deeply understands the human body and its mechanics, allowing him to challenge me while protecting my weak points and past injuries (primarily my knees and lower back). His expertise and attention to detail have been invaluable in creating a workout routine that pushes me and keeps me safe and injury-free. In just a few short months of working with Charles, I have witnessed significant improvements in my body. I feel stronger and more flexible, and my stamina has greatly improved. Charles has a keen eye for identifying areas of weakness that I was unaware of but turned out to be the root cause of some of my pain. Each exercise he introduces contributes to my overall well-being and leads to noticeable progress. I am incredibly grateful for Charles' patience and unique approach to training the mind and body. He takes the time to understand my individual needs and tailors the training accordingly. His holistic approach has not only made me physically stronger but has also positively impacted my mental well-being. Under his guidance, I have experienced increased strength, improved movement, and visible changes in my body. Charles is an exceptional trainer who genuinely cares about his clients. He doesn't follow a cookie-cutter approach but rather treats each individual as unique, with specific and diverse needs. He goes above and beyond to help clients meet their specific goals and needs. With Charles, you can expect a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer who will support you every step of the way. I highly recommend Charles to anyone seeking an innovative and dedicated trainer who will prioritize your well-being. His personalized approach, expertise, and genuine care make him stand out. Working with Charles has been a transformative experience, and I am grateful to have him as my trainer on this wellness journey.

Fantastic experience: Brandon has helped me loose weight, get in shape and help me be healthier. I can’t say enough about how great my experience has been.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of training with Lu for about 3 - 6 months, and I must say his dedication, guidance, and extensive knowledge truly stood out. He was incredibly committed to helping me achieve my fitness goals, and his personalized approach made every session enjoyable and productive. I am grateful for the progress I made under Lu's watchful eye and only wish I could have completed my training commitment with him. His departure is truly a loss, but I will always cherish the valuable lessons he imparted

Fantastic experience: I've been doing personal training sessions with James for the last 6 months. I appreciate his thoughtful approach to training. He really makes sure to build a strong foundation, so that you can meet challenges with confidence. As you continue to work together, sessions get more and more tough, but never beyond your limits. He helps you keep striving towards new goals. He is present, focused and keeps you motivated without being over the top. Sessions are fun, educational and empowering. I highly recommend working with James.

Fantastic experience: Our training experience at Custom Fit with Coach Charles was simply amazing. His wealth of knowledge, expertise, and guidance were instrumental in helping us achieve our fitness goals. The workout routines were challenging yet enjoyable, and his supportiveness kept us motivated and inspired to push our limits. What we found particularly refreshing about Coach Charles is that he never forced us to adopt a strict diet. Instead, he educated us on how our bodies work and helped us make informed, healthy food choices that align with our fitness goals. Additionally, he took the time to explain how each exercise targeted specific muscles and taught us the science behind our workout. We highly recommend Custom Fit and Coach Charles to anyone seeking a top-tier fitness training experience that prioritizes long-term health and wellness. Thank you, Coach Charles, for your invaluable expertise, guidance, and encouragement!

Fantastic experience: I'm now 8 weeks into training with Johnny K. at Custom Fit and I've lost 16lbs and hit *lifetime* PRs on my squat, deadlift, and benchpress. Hands down the best private gym in SF with the best trainers. You'd be lucky to get Johnny's expertise and cues.

Fantastic experience: Started a journey back to fitness after Covid and having a kid - and could not be happier with the team and facilities at Custom Fit. My trainer, Brandon Paesang, is helping me get fitter and stronger - all while being receptive to any feedback to make the workouts harder (or easier - like yesterday - oof). Really happy to recommend him, and Custom Fit, to anyone.

Fantastic experience: I joined Custom Fit last year and really like vibe of the gym and the workout space. I started personal training with Brandon who is fantastic. He's really knowledgeable about fitness, proper workout technique and he created a personalized workout plan that is tailored to my specific goals. He's very encouraging, energetic, and flexible, always willing to work around my schedule. Overall, I have had a great experience at Custom Fit and with Brandon and would highly recommend to anyone looking to improve their fitness and reach their goals.

Fantastic experience: Super clean and friendly staff (Brandon P is great). Very helpful with teaching me form without judging me for lack of knowledge

Fantastic experience: The space is AMAZING. Big open space - never too crowded. I work with my trainer Brandon P and I’ve never felt stronger in my entire life. Excited to see how the space evolves and to continue my fitness journey here at Custom Fit.

Fantastic experience: I had a terrific experience with everyone at Custom Fit. The facilities are top drawer! Would highly recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Had an absolutely wonderful experience training at Custom Fit SF with Lu Green. I have worked out with personal trainers before, but this experience blows the past experiences out of the water. Lu is incredibly knowledgeable and is able to help address problems with movement, muscle imbalances and overall helped me learn so much about fitness and injury prevention. He is always listening and observing and works diligently to make sure you are getting the most out of the training sessions. The gym is also amazing, clean and private - with tons of equipment, showers and anything else you would need. Would’ve totally stayed signed up if I was still living in the city. You can not go wrong giving Custom Fit SF your business.

Fantastic experience: Where do I begin? I’ve never had a personal trainer before that I’ve liked until now, and he’s the best one ever. Brandon got me to care about my health, my body, my fitness, my goals, and my life. The passion he exudes for fitness is contagious and I’ve got the fever! I now live fitness and am actively working on bettering my body and my life because of the skills I have picked up thru this training. I care about health and my fitness now. So happy about everything, like GO ME! Go Brandon! Go Custom Fit!!! Thank you Brandon and custom fit for making me feel better about my body in my birthday suit or clothed!

Fantastic experience: The new space is BEAUTIFUL! I have been seeing Brandon and he has completely transformed my body, my strength and how I work out. He is patient, encouraging, and flexible with my schedule and moderations for if I'm in pain. My only suggestion is more mirrors so we can see our form!

Fantastic experience: This is s clean and great facility

Fantastic experience: Great studio gym that has everything you need and no crowds. I've been working with a fantastic trainer (Lu Green), who has helped me with a program tailored to my goals and has me achieving them faster than I could've imagined. Its great to see the results in my lifts, in the mirror, and with CustomFit's DEXA scans.

Fantastic experience: Ross has been a fantastic trainer and I enjoyed all my sessions with him. His approach of focusing on consistency over intensity is something that resonates a lot with me. I really enjoyed my time with Ross & would highly recommend him to others.

Fantastic experience: I started my journey at Custom Fit with the new client special, and after that I was hooked! Training with Charles has been an amazing experience - he is soo knowledgeable and supportive. Not only are my workouts challenging, but they are enjoyable - it's always a fun time with Charles! All of the staff at custom fit are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Great and highly professional space for DexaScan and personal training. Everything is clean, run on time and organized. Great consult after the dexa too including really granular detail interpretation of the results. Highly recommended!!!

Fantastic experience: Very friendly trainers and staff!

Fantastic experience: This gym is perfect for a personalized gym experience with extremely knowledgeable and supportive trainers and owners. Charles was my trainer for several sessions and couldn’t be more satisfied working with him. Charles has vast knowledge and experience about all types of workouts and is committed to helping his clients reach their goals.

Fantastic experience: I went to Custom Fit for DEXA scans to get a baseline and track my progress throughout the year. I found my dietician through them (Tarah Valenti) and it's been the most incredible experience and the BEST investment I've made in years. I'm down 30lbs this year, my energy has increased, my relationship with food has completely changed, and I feel better than I did pre-pandemic. Working with Tarah has been so easy; I just track my meals in the app and she can see the full picture of my nutrition and where I might need to make small changes. She gives great feedback, shares delicious recipes, and keeps me accountable every week. I absolutely recommend booking a consultation if you're considering a dietician (and DEXA scans help to really see your progress along the way!).

Positive experience: I have been working with Ross for a few months now. I generally do not like gyms because of the smell, lifters grunting and the vibe. However, because Custom Fit is used for individuals and trainers, and is well-spaced and equipped for individualized work, there are none of those downsides. People are respectful of others, which I really appreciate.

Fantastic experience: I had a great run of personal training at Custom Fit- from a very thorough intake process and interview, starter meal plan and nutrition recommendations, and my training sessions themselves, I felt very well taken care of. My initial trainer I was paired with left the studio after my first couple months, which worked out in my favor as I was then set up with Omar, who is an excellent trainer- patient, knowledgeable and a very detailed technician. Being new to personal training, I didn’t know that’s what I needed, but he has set a high standard in every way. I stopped training because my schedule got too busy to keep up with it, but I will definitely go back. The facilities are excellent- well maintained, clean and functional, and rarely crowded when I was training. I am very excited to hear they will be opening an additional location. The new space is even closer to my place.

Fantastic experience: Over the last four months, I’ve been working with Tarah (nutrition) and Brandon (training) and have had an amazing experience with both of them! I came to Tarah wanting to learn more about nutrition, to see if there was a way to eat healthy without sacrificing taste, to support my fitness goals, and to have consistent energy throughout the day instead of sugar crashing constantly. She designed a program for me based on my lifestyle and tastes, taught me how to focus on my macros instead of obsessing over a calorie limit, supplied me with delicious, healthy recipes, and helped me see that I could eat healthy in a way that was sustainable to me. Now, I have a new mindfulness about what I’m putting in my body, consistent energy throughout the day, recipes that I love (discovered the magic of lentils and chickpeas!), and most importantly a healthy relationship with food. I’ve also been working with Brandon twice a week since January. Brandon is the perfect blend of tough and encouraging. Our workouts are really fun — he brings a lot of creativity and is always mixing it up and incorporating new exercises — and he is always watching me and making adjustments to ensure I’m not at risk of injury. My physical (and mental!) strength, mobility, and endurance have all increased since working with Brandon, and I truly feel like he is setting me up with healthy habits/workouts for life. Amazingly, I’ve lost 7 lbs since January, in a way that feels healthy, sustainable, and without ever feeling like I was hungry. I’m SO grateful to Tarah and Brandon for giving me the tools, knowledge, encouragement, and accountability to get my health on track and would highly recommend them to anyone looking to do the same.

Fantastic experience: Great space to film at! The gym was clean and the host was very kind.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Place and Amazing People! Loved every minute there and will be going back! Thank you Lucia and Team for all the hard work you do! Feel like a Million after every work out there!!

Fantastic experience: We started training at CustomFit in December 2021 and completed our 20th session with our excellent trainer, Ross, this week. We could not be more pleased with our experience at this gym and with Ross. THE GYM: We really like this gym because the equipment is in excellent condition, kept clean at all times, and booked by appointment so never too crowded. There are small towels for client use, changing facilities, and areas to stretch, warm up, etc. The owner Evan matched us with our trainer, Ross Dempsey, following a detailed client intake evaluation over the phone. We agreed that a 2-person training sessions format (me+partner) would be appropriate for us. THE TRAINER: We really like training with Ross for many reasons. 1) He takes the time to explain the proper movement of each exercise we are doing. He makes sure we keep proper form so that we don't injure ourselves and to get the most out of each set that we do. 2) He pays attention to our health conditions (eg lower back issues) and has tailored a training regimen based on our fitness goals. 3) He somehow is able to keep us to task with our workout while also being friendly and makes each training session a welcoming and positive experience. At this point, it is hard to imagine training with anyone else. After 20 sessions, we've noticed that we have gotten a lot stronger, are able wear a belt one notch tighter, and after 4 years of chronic lower back pain, about 90% of the pain has gone, including after 4 mile jogs. It feels like a miracle after trying to rest, acupuncture, sports massage, etc. Thanks CustomFit and Ross Dempsey!

Fantastic experience: Gym is clean, equipment is new and well maintained. Trainers are warm and helpful and provided a very personalized experience.

Fantastic experience: Tarah is absolutely amazing! She really listens to what your goals are and makes the plan work for your lifestyle/habits. I never felt like I was suffering or missing out but was still consistently getting the results I was looking for. It was super easy to get ahold of her and she is a wealth of knowledge!

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Archie for the past 4 months, and have been very pleased with the results. I've had a decent number of injuries in the past, and was initially concerned that I wouldn't make progress. Archie was thorough in understanding my starting limitations and how to overcome them. Not only have I seen an increase in strength, the pain I experienced over the past 5 years has reduced considerably. Custom Fit has all the necessary equipment for strength, mobility, and weight loss training. I highly recommend Archie and the entire team at Custom Fit for your training needs.

Fantastic experience: I had recently joined Custom fit and found the personal trainers to be well experienced and the gym itself to have the highest quality equipment

Fantastic experience: Nice facility. Ross is a friendly helpful trainer.

Fantastic experience: Ross Dempsey at Custom Fit is the perfect trainer if you are new to working out and need a knowledgable guide to help create a custom tailored plan for you. He takes the time to explain why different exercises can help you reach your goals and makes goal setting in itself much easier. He created a weekly guide for me with video's and explanations on how to do each movement. He also followed up with me many times to check in and make sure the plan is working for me. Great trainer! Highly suggest working with him.

Fantastic experience: I trained here with Ross Dempsey and he was great. Helped me put together a detailed workout guide focused on specific body areas I wanted to see growth. Highly suggest you work with him if you are looking a trainer!

Fantastic experience: Ross is outstanding! He's super knowledgeable, and it's clear his passion for helping people through improved health and fitness runs deep. He's a great communicator, and has a serious knack for helping me stay motivated and keep the big goals in focus. Ross always finds a way to balance my goals with each training experience, and when I'm solo - like he still finds ways to ensure I'm making progress and staying motivated, even if I'm injured or achy or overate or just not at my best. Whatever fitness goals you have now, Ross will help you get significantly and measurably there!

Fantastic experience: The atmosphere here makes it very easy to focus on your health and fitness goals. Ross is an incredibly respectful and humble trainer who can connect with you on a human level while you train. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to get in shape!

Fantastic experience: I started training at Custom Fit after breaking my foot this year and they helped get the strength back in my ankle and leg and regain confidence in bearing weight on it again. I've been training with Ross and he's phenomenal - he watches my form like a hawk, regularly helps me correct it to ensure I don't injure myself, pushes me the right amount but we have so much fun with it, it's honestly the best part of my day. The gym is also super clean and the equipment is in great condition, and I love that it's packed with TRX bands, ropes and other great equipment. They're super communicative and flexible with scheduling and honestly make it really easy to fit your day.

Fantastic experience: Customfit is a super nice gym and very clean. I always look forward to training in such a nice facility and my trainer Ross has been so much fun to work. I feel much stronger and fitter since I started working with him only a few months ago!

Fantastic experience: Ross is an awesome trainer! His infectious optimism make exercise fun. Ross works hard to tailor his program to the client’s level, assists in setting realizable goals and when met makes getting to the next level achievable. Very knowledgeable , knows what to say when you feel like giving up. Keeps things simple . He not only helped me to loss weight but also helped me to gain muscle and that's progress motivate me to keep working even harder and stay focused !!

Fantastic experience: Customfit is a really nice gym with all the equipment you need to get in an effective workout in a really modern well lit space. My trainer Ross is great, he customized and modified a plan that fits my goals and I’m feeling much fitter and stronger. I would highly recommend Ross and Customfit!

Fantastic experience: This place is a small gym mainly for one on one sessions or small groups, but it never feels overbooked or crowded (important in any gym but especially during a pandemic!) or like my trainer and I can't get access to the equipment needed. It's neat and clean and well equipped, and the trainers are friendly even if I'm not their client. I do a weekly resistance body scan in the facilities that gives me a better view into my progress than just weight tracking. There's no locker rooms or much room for personal items outside of some small cubbies, but I've been going home to shower after so it's not been any trouble for me.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Ross at Custom Fit for a few months now and have been so happy with the progress and results I've achieved in my overall fitness! Ross took the time to truly listen to what my goals were and outlined a progressive plan for me to get there. He makes sure I am challenged, but also approaching my fitness in an effective and safe way so that I don't risk injury. I feel stronger than ever and am so excited to see my progress every week! The gym itself is also really nice —great equipment, very clean, and never crowded. If you're looking to prioritize your health (especially after nearly 2 years of being in this COVID slump), then definitely reach out to Ross!

Fantastic experience: Amazing space, amazing trainers, and owner!! I work with Custom Fit chiropractic and they referred me to Custom Fit personal training to ensure the work I’m getting done in my neck and back stay in place! It was a nice little self-care investment I made for myself after having such a hard two years and was the best decision I made this year. I’m getting into the best shape of my life and highly recommend this place! Mark Eaton is amazing - he was a former gymnast and knows what the body and what levers to pull to give his clients the results they want! He crafted a nice plan for me for both in/person and at home, and I am seeing fast results. Evan, Custom Fit owner, is also amazing and his heart is in the right place with the gym! Wants everyone to have the best possible results and makes the necessary investments to give people what they need! They recently got a DEXA scan which I saw on Instagram recently that gives you an accurate read on muscular imbalances, body fat loss vs muscle gain so you can accurately track your progress! You can schedule an appointment to get a DEXA scan even if you’re not a Personal Training client! It’s so cool!

Fantastic experience: Ross is great! Super cool and a hell of a trainer. Got a few old injuries and haven’t worked out very much recently. A friend told me about Ross. He’s just what I needed. Ive been working with him at custom fit for a few months now. I get stronger and feel better after each session. We have the gym to ourselves every time. Its nice. He mixes it up every time, which keeps it fun, but also challenging which is how it should be. Awesome!!!

Fantastic experience: Adam is a great trainer here. The facility is clean and well equipped.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Ross for a few months. He is professional, knowledgeable, easy to talk to and fun to train with. His workouts are always fun, challenging, and tailored to my specific goals. I have a busy work schedule and he is very flexible with times he is available to train. The gym is clean, has plenty of room, and other staff are always friendly.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Evan for almost a year. He’s professional, down to earth, and easy to work with. I have issues with my hips as well as some blood pressure issues when working out and he’s done fantastic modifying the workouts so we’re not aggravating what’s already there. Evan has also been flexible with scheduling. The studios are clean, well-maintained, and aren’t ever too crowded. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! I’ve been here a handful of times and it’s always super clean, has everything you need, and the trainers are awesome! Definitely feel safe working out here.

Fantastic experience: First of all I love Evan! He is the owner of this wonderful gym. He is super nice and easy to talk to, like talking to a friend you've known for years. I go here for the Open Gym. It's so peaceful not like a commercial gym and super clean! I also love the equipments! they are all up to date and my favorite is the squat racks!. I feel home when I workout here. It's very private, so I really get in the zone, I don't have to worry about someone staring at me while i'm working out. There is also something about the location I really like. Just the whole San Francisco vibe, there's coffee shops & brunch spots in the area as well. I highly recommend this gym! and their personal trainers are awesome!

Fantastic experience: The best gym in SF!

Negative experience: This studio makes so much noise when they slam weights down. Shakes the whole building. Selfish people only think about their own needs.

Fantastic experience: Incredible experience with Custom Fit - Evan is a world-class trainer with (as the name suggests) highly customized workouts catered to your requests and varied each session. Facilities are new, clean, and equipment is the same with a number of state of the art pieces. Environment is very comfortable for all experience levels. Can't recommend Custom Fit enough!

Fantastic experience: It has been such a pleasure to work with Evan at Custom Fit! First of all the facility is gorgeous, and very well-equipped. I love the clean, modern, and alive vibes of the space, with lots of plants, and earthy design accents like bamboo floors and astroturf. Makes working out more pleasant for me when I’m doing it in a beautiful (and spotless!) space. Evan is also incredibly professional and really knows his stuff in terms of how to address each individual’s body differently. Custom Fit is a perfect name since I really feel like he customizes an exercise plan unique to me. We spent the entire first session just assessing my movement habits and figuring out where I needed work. He identified several asymmetries right away and gave me exercises and stretches that helped SO much! I also really appreciate the added nutrition piece that he and his colleagues offer. As a fellow healthcare professional, I know first-hand how crucial proper nutrition is, and agree that true fitness is far more than just working out. If you’re looking for help with your fitness, give Evan a call! Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Amazing family owned business in SF! Clean, safe, friendly and professional! You should checkout some of the amazing healthy meals they prepare on IG as well ❤️

Fantastic experience: Evan and his team are A++. I felt super safe coming back in during the COVID crisis, they've clearly put a lot of thought into keeping people safe and active. Can't say enough good things about these guys. I always look forward to coming by for my workouts.

Positive experience: Custom fit has changed my life and my body! Eric is genuinely concerned about my fitness goals and makes sure that every workout is different from the last. You are sure to get a great workout and feel a part of something bigger than yourself. I am grateful for Eric's focus on what my needs are and sets up the next workout to achieve my goals. You need to check this out!

Fantastic experience: I've worked with Evan for the past 2 years now and have nothing but positive things to say about him as a trainer and business owner. First of, the studio itself is not only beautiful but functional as well. It contains every single piece of fitness equipment you can ask for, and with each new season Evan adds a new piece of equipment. As a trainer, Evan is incredibly passionate and dedicated to helping people reach their goals. Working with Evan made me realize that fitness is not just about losing weight, but about being strong and cable as a human being. I went in expecting to lose weight but I actually only lost fat and gained muscle (the scale did not really change, but my body did!), the whole experience changed my perspective on nutrition, training, and my behaviors. If you're looking for a dedicated, personable, professional personal trainer and gym Customfit is a standout in a city saturated with corporate gyms!

Fantastic experience: I go to Custom Fit for both the "Personal Training" and the "Nutrition" and they both get a resounding 5 stars from me. Nutrition: I work with Tarah Venn, who is an incredibly thoughtful and adept nutritionist and has already helped me make more progress in the 2 months I've been working with her than I made in the last 2 years on my own. She promotes long-term habits as opposed to "quick tips" to reach goals quickly. If you're interested in getting some help to reach your dietary goals, I couldn't recommend her more highly. Personal Training: I work with Kendra Africa, who has been a perfect match for me in terms of personal training. She's customized all of my workouts to optimize strengthening muscles where I've long had weaknesses. I also have dealt with multiple knee injuries and Kendra has been so helpful finding ways to prevent future injuries. She clearly has a vested interest in my success and that's really awesome.

Fantastic experience: I’ve worked with personal trainer Charles Armstrong for over 3 years now and it has been one of the best decisions I've made about my personal health and well-being. His great skills in personal training honed with years of experience and education make for great workout sessions. Charles pushes me to constantly challenge myself and I have definitely seen results in my physical (and mental!) health. A trainer and client have to be a good fit. One of the main reasons Charles and work well together is that I trust him. He is an all-around great person to be around. He is always positive, personable and reliable. I've gone from never working out (before I worked with Charles) to now working out 2 to 3 times a week with him. I can be very unmotivated to work-out, but he constantly changes-up my routine so that I don't get bored and stay motivated. He constantly watches my form and reminds me of any corrections I need to make. I also really enjoy training at Custom Fit - the people are friendly and the space works well for individual training sessions. The location works well for me too

Fantastic experience: Really great facilities & trainers. Katie is amazing. She is knowledgeable, non-judgemental, and motivating. She is there for you outside of sessions and does her best to change the way you think about fitness. When I started with Katie, all i cared about was what I saw on the scale. I rarely did any strength training and spent the last couple of years in grad school without even stepping foot in a gym. With her help & coaching, I feel myself improving with every workout and learning to love my body and its abilities more. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Katie is a great trainer who always comes prepared with a plan to kick my butt. I trained with her at a previous gym before she moved to Custom Fit and I followed here. Couldn't be happier with the new place - lots of room, good equipment and the staff is friendly. Highly recommended

Fantastic experience: I train at Custom Fit with Katie Kroshka and I absolutely love it. Even when she's pushing me, muscles burning, lungs yelling at me and I feel like I can't do another more rep, I'm still having a blast. And with a smile from Katie and encouragement I'm able to finish the set. She literally lights up like a Christmas tree when she's proud and you've done well. She takes pride in her work and truly loves what she does. I think there needs to be a good balance between serious focus and having fun. Katie has found this balance and shares it with me and I can't thank her enough. Her knowledge is deep and sometimes, I don't even notice we've had a session until the next day. She makes it easy and challenging at the same time. Wizardry. The gym itself is clean, comfortable, and has all the tools we need for whatever we're focusing on that day. The other trainers are respectful and kind and you don't even notice anyone else in the building. Everyone is focused on what they're doing and I like that. I'm a fan of privacy, especially when it comes to self improvement. So feeling comfortable in this professional space is a determining factor in me coming back to Custom Fit time and time again. If the gym seems like a scary place to you, or you're a seasoned fitness pro, Katie and Custom Fit will help you ease those fears or meet those goals. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: The gym is nice and clean and the equipment is very professional. The only complaint is that there's only one shower room which is always busy. But if you can go to a shower room at home or work that should be fine

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Evan since 2015 at another studio prior to Custom Fit. When Evan opened Custom Fit, I followed him. Why? As a plus size woman, being comfortable with my trainer is important to me. Evan is non-judgemental, easy-going and keeps me motivated by making each training session unique so it is never dull. He is challenging but never to the point where I feel discourage and overwhelmed. I often joke with him and tell him "I am playing ball with the big boys now" bring it on! because he makes me feel like I am capable of doing anything and that is very important because it keeps me going!! I train now once a week with Evan and twice with Allen-another extraordinary motivator! I was reluctant to train with Allen because I was so use to training with Evan three times a week but Allen has completely won me over! Allen's dedication to my success has helped me stay focus. He is driven, passionate and does not deviate- it is all about staying focus, having control and breathing properly. When he talks about his own personal workouts and how great he feels, he lights up! and as a result it motivates me to continue pushing myself even harder. Now that is what training is all about! Having the desire to take it to the next level!!! Having both Evan and Allen as my personal trainers, I know that 2020 is the year that I will make drastic changes for a better and healthier self.

Fantastic experience: This is a great personal training gym with great equipment and vibe. Our personal trainer, Darioush, is super knowledgeable and motivating.

Fantastic experience: Awesome experience working with Evan & team at Custom Fit SF for partner training. The gym is conveniently located, clean, well-organized and super functional for strength and circuit workouts. Lots of fun equipment to mix up workouts (sled, battle ropes, kettlebells, etc.) and for recovery (massage guns, foam rollers, etc.). The vibe is friendly and unpretentious and even at peak hours the gym is never over-crowded. Our trainer, Lucia, was extremely professional, easy to communicate with, and planned fun, challenging workouts. The included nutritional advice and recipes was also a huge additional value! Highly recommended, would gladly train here again in the future.

Fantastic experience: Super awesome gym!!
