Beautiful clean facility which includes Pilates and group fitness classes. Easy to sign up, first class was free. Coach Marko Cantero knows what he’s doing and is always a joy to be around. There’s plenty of parking and right next to a nice park off the iron horse trail.

If you are in the Pleasanton area looking for a gym to become a member at or just need a pop in class, you should absolutely stop at APS and sign-up with Coach Marko. He is great! I used to take classes with him at another gym, and it was so refreshing to take a class with him again. Plus, your first class is free and after that you can purchase a membership or class by class. Options for all needs!

I took my first Pilates class ever this weekend with him. I appreciated his dedication to making the class fun, to ensuring I used the right form on the machine, and to making me feel welcome after a long period of not working out. The gym is clean, vibrant, and has fresh, brand new equipment. There is space for any fitness needs. I am excited to go back and continue my Pilates journey and possibly return to some CrossFit classes.

Outside of the above, I have to commend Marko for his love of fitness, health, and people. He is very knowledgeable about fitness and is willing to teach you. He has a kind, energetic, and friendly demeanor. Most importantly, he cares. He remembered details about different injuries I have and before class, asked me about them. He always makes sure you are comfortable and moving at a pace that is good for you, yet challenging you to continue to better yourself.

I’ve attended several of the fitness session and really enjoy the culture and style of the workouts. I appreciate how Marko (APS owner) ensures everyone can attend any class no matter their fitness level. I have trouble with running and high impact activities, so Marko was able to suggest equal alternatives to his program that fit my capabilities. Workouts are ~50min, including warm-up, and before starting the group is walked through each step of the program for the day to make sure everyone understands and are comfortable with the exercises. I will definitely be returning for future workout and excited to try the Pilates sessions.

I’ve been coached by Coach Marko for many years. He is very knowledgeable in CrossFit, functional fitness and Pilates. He is very in tuned with the varying needs of individuals. He will work with you based on your goals and fitness level. Coach Marko makes workouts fun too, so not only will you get a great workout in, you will have fun doing it. Go check out his gym - it is an awesome space and has something for everyone!

I used to do CrossFit and recently moved on to Pilates. Athletic Performance Studio encompasses both disciplines. Combining both disciplines is a great way to get a complete full body workout. I recently took both a CrossFit class & a Pilates class.Marko is an excellent CrossFit coach & Pilates instructor; very knowledgeable. I highly recommend Athletic Performance Studio.
