I have been going to Perfect Fit for several years. The trainers there are friendly, professional, and goal oriented.
I enjoy getting there early and working out on the cardio machines while waiting for my appointment. Parking is convenient and it is located right in the middle of the Marina. -

It's all about the details.
When you put top of the line equipment and excellent certified personal trainers in a meticulously maintained training facility, you get a gym experience unlike any other. Jasmine Nichols created a spa-like environment with gorgeous bamboo floors, beautiful lighting, and stainless steel accents that makes you wonder how you ever worked out in one of those stark gyms with florescent lighting (as if there isn't enough of that in the office).
This is the place to treat yourself to customized workouts designed by top trainers to help you achieve that level of fitness you've always hoped to achieve. -

I've been working out with Lisa for several months now. She's been great about working with me on my goals and helps in all areas, strength, cardio, flexibility and food plans. Most importantly she's great about motivating me....there have been a...ummm...few days where I would have preferred to sleep but I always know that I will leave there feeling better than when I came in.
The space isn't bad either, never crowded and always bright and cheery! -

I'll admit it- I'm in need of a little extra motivation to get myself to the gym. Having had a membership at a gym for seven months and having never used it, I found myself imagining all of the other great things that I could be doing with that $94 every month.
Then I found Perfect Fit.
The owner, Jasmine, really paid attention to my concerns right off the bat, and matched me with a personal trainer that she felt would mesh well with my personality.
And then there was Nilu. Nilu is PHENOMENAL!! I love her! Not only does she motivate me and make me laugh during our sessions, she also produces fantastic results! Having been an athlete all my life, I really appreciate the power and compound movements that she puts me through... it is a very athletic-driven type of workout with practical benefits applicable to any sport or activity.
Nilu is the best EVER! I highly recommend her (just not at the times that I want to work out) :) -

I had put off working out for nearly 6 months, after sustaining a neck injury. I was hesitant to go back to the gym for fear of a relapse. I knew that if I did go back, it would have to be under the supervision of a highly-skilled, personal trainer who would be able to get me back in shape quickly while still making considerations for my injury.
I found exactlty what I was looking for through my Perfect Fit trainer, Lisa Corsello. Lisa is a total star. Not only am I losing the weight and getting back in shape but my neck has not bothered me for months.
Thanks, Lisa! -

Perfect Fit is a great place to get fit. And the best way to get fit at Perfect Fit is with my trainer Natalie Gangemi (because she's the best).
Perfect Fit offers an intimate setting, to be sure, but along with that comes a peace and a sense of family you can't get at larger gyms. It's also a great place to go if you're not the most confident in your workout gear sweating in front of strangers, like I am. Parking is easy 99.9% of the time despite being in the Marina because of it's off-street location. It is lacking a shower but I'm very ready to go home after my sessions at Perfect Fit so it's never been an issue to me.
Ready to go home because when I work out with Natalie I find myself digging deeper and pushing harder than ever before. Not because she's some Drill Sergeant - in fact, she's one of the most sweet, caring, likeable, down-to-earth, friendly people on the planet - but because she's so invested in your success and in motivating you to get the most out of every moment that it's infectious and you don't want to disappoint her even more than you don't want to disappoint yourself. That's the deep, special rapport Natalie establishes with her clients; you know she's always thinking about you and every angle of how she can help you reach your goal. And it inspires you to put that much more into it.
Natalie knows her stuff and really challenges me. The stronger I become the more she adds different dimensions to my workouts that continue to push me further and keep me interested and motivated. She loves what she does and she's great at it....moreover, she makes you love it, too. Natalie goes above and beyond any trainer I have ever worked with in every capacity.
Go to Natalie at Perfect Fit and reach your goals. Find that something inside you didn't know you had in addition to the body you always wanted. I feel like I won the lottery getting to have Natalie as my trainer so as long as you're not looking to steal my slots, I think have an obligation to share the wealth. -

Perfect Fit is a great place to work out with a Personal Trainer. It's small intimate setting is conveniently located, but just off the main road so you don't feel like you are working out in front of a bunch of people. The studio is equipped with all the functional training equipment you could possibly ask for making the workouts endlessly interesting and challenging.
The trainers are friendly & knowledgeable with diverse backgrounds and are sure to give you a great workout!
I highly recommend coming to Perfect Fit to find yourself a Personal Trainer! -

This is a very nice personal training gym. They have very qualified trainers and brand new training machines and weights. The place is clean and esthetically pleasing with bamboo floors and stylish accents.
If you are serious about getting in shape and staying in shape this is the place. Highly recommended -

One of the best neighborhood gyms in SF. Great trainers, especially Aziz who was an olympian in the 90s. Warm, friendly ambiance - trainers really know their field. I've been training there for over 6 months, I hardly do the same workout twice. Had great results (lost 3% body fat in the first month alone). Highly recommended.

This place blows. I think they must have paid Yelp to clean up their ratings, because there is no way that this place is five stars. I tried to book appointments with them, and after over three weeks, no results. Their customer service is atrocious. Maybe their trainers are great, but try to get in the door...

Jasmine is the best. She's very attentive, knowledgeable, and sensitive to her clients' specific needs. I never felt embarrassed or judged or under scrutiny. She's supportive and pushes the right amount to get results! She even helped me detect a thyroid condition because my heart rate wasn't quite right! She made a potentially intimidating experience totally enjoyable and worthwhile.

I debated writing this review because I don't want to have to share my trainer with anyone else. But, given my amazing experience with Kate Clemens, I decided to put my selfishness aside for a minute.
I have been going to see Kate once a week since last November. I am a pretty lazy person when it comes to working out, and I have a lot of body aches pretty much on a daily basis. Kate hones our training sessions to work with my personal needs and goals. She is never negative about my limitations and distracts me from the hard work by chatting with me about what is going on in our lives. I feel "reasonably" sore for a few days after each workout, and I feel like I keep getting stronger.
The best I feel all week is when I walk out of our training sessions. After pushing me for 50 minutes or so, she helps stretch me out and even rubs the tension out of my back muscles! Lately she sets aside 15 extra minutes a week to chat with me on the phone about what additional excercises I should be doing.
Basically, I can't imagine a better trainer than Kate. I've used Yelp for years, but this is my first time writing a review-that's how highly I think of her! :) -

This small gym is perfect for personal training and is nicely laid out with all the equipment you need. I work out with my personal trainer, Pam B. here, and see Jasmine, the owner all the time. It's a nice environment, and everyone is friendly. It's easy to park as it's right behind the big parking garage off of Lombard, and is private as it's on a small street.

There are so many reason why i prefer perfect fit to other workout studios. I will start by saying how wonderful the owner Jasmine is,she is highly knowledgeable of the industry,and makes a huge effort to personalize a work out program that suits your individual needs.The studio is very clean and stylish and is never over crowded.Perfect fit has the right combination of elements.They offer top of the line trainers and equipment, in a top of the line environment.

If a qualified and fun personal trainer is what you need, look no further. Kate Clemens rocks! This year was my first season competing in triathlons. The results I achieved from training with Kate surpassed all my expectations. Her mind, body and spirit approach to fitness is unique and refreshing. She truly loves what she does and you'll benefit from that. Thank you Kate!

PROS:
-Jasmine is really nice and easy to be around.
-She normally charges $90 per session but she gave me a deal of $60 per session.
-The gym is very clean (albeit small) and you don't feel like you have to sanitize yourself every 5 minutes like at other gyms.
CONS:
-Jasmine, the owner, trained me personally and she would constantly take calls from her husband while she was with me. Sometimes her husband would bring the baby into the sessions at the beginning or the end and he would always look sort of angry and distressed like he needed her to come tend to the baby. I actually felt really bad for her a couple of times because her baby was really sick at home and her husband kept calling in the session and Jasmine looked really upset and distracted. I offered to leave so she could leave to tend to the baby but she insisted on staying. Looking back, she should have just let us both go and rescheduled the session because she was distracted the whole time (and understandably so!) On another occassion, she came to the session totally sick and was touching me everywhere and coughing all over the place. I got really, really sick on a business trip two days later where I responsible for a huge project and it was a nightmare for me. I just wished she would have cancelled with me instead of going through the session like that.
-Even though she has expertise in injury rehab and orthopedic issues, I did not receive this type of expertise in my sessions. Rather, I felt like I was just sitting with someone who would hang out with me while I did basic exercises -- not ones specifically tailored to address the needs of my body (I have scoliosis). After I ended my session with her, I saw two physical therapists and another personal trainer that were all shocked when I told them about the type of exercises I was doing with Jasmine. All 3 of them told me, for example, that I should never do certain exercises that hyper-extend my shoulder where I have curvature in my back - those were the exact exercises that I did with Jasmine though -- which apparently cause repetitive stress and aggravate the scoliosis. They said anyone with a basic understanding of scoliosis would have known that. When I started with a new trainer, she did a proper diagnosis of my back and within 3 sessions, I was able to stand up straighter and my pain was subsiding over time. It was then that I realized the difference between an excellent and mediocre personal training experience.
I should definitely mention that I only had 10 sessions with Jasmine (before I stopped going) and they were spread out over months. So I definitely did not expect to see any weight loss goals achieved. Because I traveled so much for work, I was not able to attend her sessions on a consistent basis. But for $600, I did expect to learn a thing or two about my body and learn the proper exercises for my body type. I do believe that part of the benefit of paying for a personal trainer is to learn about your body.Comment from Jasmine N. of Perfect Fit Personal Training 7/28/2010

do you ALL remember my horrible experience i had with my previous, personal trainer? well, if not, here, let me all take you back into time... (click!) http://www.yelp.com/bi... (click!)
well, if you didn't read the review, i insist you read that review and then THIS review, and do yourself a favor, that is, if you're planning on looking for a trainer, especially in the MARINA!
i swear, God answers people's prayers ... no joke ... don't let the pictures fool you! Kate may look cute and petite, but she's HELLA STRONG.. remember that quote? NEVER EVER judge a book by its cover!
how could you NOT LOVE SOMEONE LIKE KATE when she's a naval command fitness leader, a certified sports nutritionist & a licensed health counselor who also does yoga and personal training in between?! She even does YOGA RETREATS! WOOOoOOOoYEA! i swear, THIS girl, (points to KATE) KNOWS her shit! =)

Dear Kate,
I've never really had the opportunity to seriously thank you for all your endless hard work and effort ... You were the best personal trainer one could ever have ... Extremely patient, dedicated, friendly, fun, personable, and definitely, motivating! o gosh, i'm at a loss for words!!! You made working out SO fun for me that i'm seriously SO addicted to working out.... *GASP*! is that a good thing or WHAT? One thing for sure, I can't help but to look at myself everyday, looking at the amazing results that you've given me! If anything, I always looked forward to our daily trainings!!! You are and were truly an inspiration to me and to everyone else!!! Sure, you made every work out an intense challenge, yet made it SO fun, that i know i won't find another personal trainer JUST LIKE YOU when i move... You know, we always have San Diego though .... =) I'm going to take you back to memory lane ... =) My 2 favorite work out moments with you was when we were doing those 100 crunches, screaming out our numbers in SPANISH! lol ... ANDDD, when you pushed me to run that nasty steep hill on fillmore going towards broadway in one shot! good times, good times!!! I'll also miss our daily chatters about GUYS, and LIFE! Anyways, I'm super sad that due to my personal commitments that we are currently not working out together but you seriously have a special place in my heart and again, I wanted to thank you for making one part of my life SUPER exciting... Love ya girl! =)
