Everything you need to know about personal training at our San Mateo studio
I've never worked with a personal trainer in San Mateo before - what makes your studio different?
Our private San Mateo studio offers completely personalized training. Choose between 1-on-1 sessions for undivided attention or semi-private training with 2-5 women. Every certified trainer knows your name, goals, and progress. We prioritize proper form and safe progression in a supportive, professional environment designed specifically for women's fitness.
What happens during my complimentary consultation?
Your free consultation (in-person or virtual) covers your specific goals—weight loss, postpartum recovery, or general fitness. We'll explain our signature H-Method combining strength training, Pilates, and metabolic conditioning, then create your personalized fitness roadmap. In-person consultations include a full studio tour.
I'm a complete beginner - will I feel comfortable at your studio?
Absolutely! Over 40% of our San Mateo studio clients start as complete beginners. Our trainers specialize in making fitness accessible, breaking down complex movements into simple steps you can master at your own pace. We begin with a thorough movement assessment to understand your current fitness level, then build a program that feels challenging but achievable. You'll have privacy, expert guidance, and a supportive environment where you can focus entirely on your progress and building confidence.
How is studio training different from in-home personal training?
Studio training at our San Mateo location offers access to specialized equipment like cable machines and heavier weights that maximize strength gains. You'll benefit from a dedicated fitness environment free from home distractions and a professional workout space. Choose in-home training if you prefer maximum convenience and privacy. Choose studio training if you want complete equipment access, a professional environment, and separation between your workout and living space. Not sure? We'll help you decide during your free consultation.
Do you offer both private training and small group fitness classes?
Yes! Three options to fit your needs: Private 1-on-1 sessions for complete customization, semi-private training (2-5 women) at $80 per session combining personal attention with group motivation, or small group classes maintaining our personalized approach while building community.
What equipment does your downtown San Mateo studio have?
Our 120 2nd Ave studio features professional equipment for all fitness levels: cable machines for functional strength, free weights (2-50+ lbs), kettlebells, resistance bands, and cardio machines. Everything is professionally cleaned between sessions. Whether you're building foundational strength or advancing your fitness, we have the tools to support your goals—all in a climate-controlled, comfortable environment.
What makes your San Mateo studio special for women's fitness?
Our women-only studio features professional equipment from 5-50 lb weights to TRX and Pilates systems—ideal for beginners, seniors, postnatal recovery, menopause training, and injury rehabilitation. The bright, private space creates a comfortable sanctuary where women at every life stage can thrive.
Can you help with menopause symptoms, post-natal recovery, and hormone-related fitness goals?
Yes! Women's wellness is our specialty. We provide evidence-based training for menopause support (reducing hot flashes, preventing osteoporosis, maintaining muscle mass), certified post-natal recovery programs (including diastasis recti rehabilitation and pelvic floor safe exercises), and hormone-aware training for all life stages. Our trainers understand how hormonal changes affect your body and adapt programming accordingly. We've helped hundreds of Bay Area women stay strong through midlife transitions, pregnancy recovery, and beyond.
Do you work with clients who have injuries or medical conditions?
Yes, we specialize in medical fitness and safe progression. Our trainers work with clients managing scoliosis, joint replacements, arthritis, osteoporosis, diabetes, and chronic conditions. We collaborate with your physical therapists and doctors to ensure your training supports your recovery and health goals. Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or working around an injury, we create safe, effective programs that help you build strength without aggravating existing issues.
