Christopher -
As I explained when I came to you the first time my fitness goals
were very simple -
1. lose the last 20# on my South Beach diet (I'd been stuck for 3 months)
2. lose inches on my gut so I could see my toes in the shower
You suggested regular exercise to "chip away" at the pounds and inches with regular exercise
I'm up to 5.5 miles on the treadmill/stairmaster/cross-trainer with M/W/F work.
You recommended Aruna as a Personal Trainer. I do Tuesday with her and Thursday on my own.
Since November 1 I have:
* lost the 2.5 I needed to get back to a healthy BMI
* lost the first 5# against my 20# goal on Friday, 20 Nov
I really look forward to a couple of hours at Kentfield Fitness every day.
I even came in once this past weekend!
I appreciate listening to "my" kind of music on the sound system
and mixing up watching CNN, KQED, ESPN and the Food Channel on the TVs.
I've met some nice people as well. I appreciate Gynelle's warm "good morning" every day.
And I'm less than 5 minutes from my home in Ross.
Now if I could only convince myself to BIKE this route rather than drive...

Thanks for creating a successful and enjoyable environment,
a nice respite from the stressful world of high tech!

Kentfield Fitness is a great neighborhood gym. The equipment is up to date and you never have a problem getting a machine. The staff is professional and friendly and it is a great environment to work out in. They offer many classes and their boot camp class is great! If you want a friendly, efficient gym Kentfield Fitness is perfect.

My husband and I spent several weeks looking for the right gym after moving back to the area. We were very disappointed with what we found. The gyms seem to fall into two camps: a) the overpriced, oversubscribed gyms that appear to have lots of classes and equipment but also lots of attitude and cost or b) the chain gyms were you could get a very low monthly cost but they too were oversubscribed, overused and were more focused more on signing up a contract than really servicing a potential client. Then we stumbled onto Kentfield Fitness and it was a perfect fit for us. Kentfield is a lovely, well cared for gym that really caters to all ages and clientele. It has a very intimate, neighborhood feel and the staff are all warm and friendly. The owner, Chris, worked closely with us to get us the right trainers that meet our needs. The gym is always open, never seriously crowded and everything is kept neat, clean and in good working condition. They are willing to work with you in whatever way best fits your needs and are not constrained to complex contract arrangements. In the time we have been at the gym, both of us have seen our fitness improve and have really, really enjoyed the experience. If you're looking for a gym that is easy to join, nice to be in and has great people to meet, I highly recommend Kentfield Fitness.

Before joining Kentfield Fitness I had joined and tested out many other gyms in the area, none compare. Kentfield Fitness takes pride in their clients, the staff greets every client when coming in the door, they are always willing to help when you have a question or need to learn how to use a piece of the equipment and help if you have questions or need direction with your workout routine. Kentfield Fitness is the cleanest gym I have ever been a member of and all of the clients seem to take pride in the cleanliness as well. There are a plethora of machines, weights and classes available to help you accomplish your goals. I have personally gone down 3 pant sizes since joining and am happier than I have ever been physically and emotionally. If you are looking for a friendly, clean and client inspired gym, this place ROCKS!!!

I found my way through the doors of Kentfield Fitness by accident. I was meeting a personal trainer, Jerson Rodriguez, who I hired to work with my fiance' as a birthday gift. I had driven by numerous time throughout the years, never giving a second glance as I had my membership at McGym down the street. Upon looking around, I found the set up to be like no other gym I had seen. The atmosphere is more like a home than a gym, with a relaxed feel you just can't replicate in a larger setting. The layout of the gym allows ample space to find your niche and stay focused. In addition, they have the latest in fitness gear, so I am never bored and have access to try new things to keep my fitness routine fresh. On the subject of freshness, you won't find a cleaner gym in the Bay Area, which has allowed for greater peace of mind in sharing the equipment.

The staff at Kentfield Fitness is attentive, friendly and eager to help you meet your fitness goals. I had the privilege of also working with Jerson, one of many personal trainers you will find at Kentifield Fitness. What I appreciate about the training atmosphere, is the camaraderie between the staff, the trainers and other gym members. I have had personal experience with other trainers approaching me to show me new exercises or correct my form, even though it was not their obligation to do so, rather their passion for what they do.

If you are looking to break away from the chain gym scene, or just want to add some variety to your workouts, I highly recommend giving Kentfield Fitness a try.

For many years I resisted joining a gym because I felt most were dark, loud crowded places that catered to bodybuilder and aerobics fanatics. Thankfully Kentfield Fitness is the antithesis of that. Kentfield Fitness'  bright and airy space is filled with the major equipment and amenities one would expect without any of the waiting or pressure associated with other gyms.The large windows let in plenty of natural light while providing views of the passersby on one side and Mt. Tam on the other which make make my time on the cardio machines go more quickly. The   friendly staff is equally welcoming to all members which range in age from teenagers to senior citizens. It is motivating for me to workout alongside people of various fitness levels.Kentfield Fitness' casual and supportive environment is what attracted me 18 months ago and it is what keeps me coming back 5 days a week.
