Juliana is an excellent personal trainer who understands women’s health and well-being and integrates it seamlessly into her approach. The gym is spotless and everyone from the front desk to the other trainers are friendly and approachable. I highly recommend FIT for personalized training.

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a crossfit gym is the coaches. Having the right coach can prevent a lot of injuries and pain. The coaches at FIT are well educated in fitness and they all compete. I travel a lot and I visit many cross fit gyms. I can comfortably say that the FIT coaches are some of the best coaches I have worked out with.

Another factor is the environment. Fit has a very friendly and inviting environment. everyone is welcomed and encouraged.

All in all great place!!

I have been going to FIT weekly or bi-weekly for more than 11 years! The trainers at FIT are excellent and I worked consistently with one for ten years and now with another who is also outstanding. I am "older" and credit FIT with my good health and strong, body. The owners of FIT are very friendly and accommodating, as are all the trainers. It is a very motivating, warm and welcoming place to be.

I've been doing CrossFit for more than 7 years. I've been a member of 5 affiliates, and have dropped in to more than 30 gyms around the world. CrossFit is about community, positivity, and an inviting atmosphere to throw weights around in. CrossFit Los Altos is not a traditional CrossFit gym. I was a member here for more than a year. It is a class tucked into a small part of a larger personal training business - and it shows. The CrossFit class takes place in a tiny section of the building, and members are rebuked if they seem to interfere with the personal training in any way. You are often made to feel like an inconvenience to the gym. If you are looking for a traditional CrossFit experience, look elsewhere. On a positive note, the programming is good, and some of the coaches are really great. (Caution: one coach is an unfortunate combo of ego and insecurity and talks down to members instead of building them up.) If FIT took CrossFit seriously, arranged the facility to embrace CrossFit, and only gave classes to positive coaches, it would be great. But that isn't their primary business.

We have been going to FIT for a few years and they are simply amazing. They are comprehensive for all areas of exercise and health. They have been fantastic for our 9 year old daughter who plays tennis nationally as well. I have seen dramatic difference from before going to FIT to now week over week. I strongly recommend them for families.

Mike Nevens

I've been a client for both personal training and CrossFit for several years. The trainers are very good at what they do. Technically knowledgeable and listen well to client issues and needs. Tom and Tracy have fostered a family atmosphere that is very comfortable. I am healthier because of what they help me do!

I love the holistic philosophy and the individualized approach of the trainers. A worthy investment in my health, fitness and well-being!!! I just started my second 12 week contract, and after years of being scared and sedentary ( due to a history of injuries, motor vehicle accidents, etc.), I feel like a whole new person, stronger every day, and committed to an active life. I appreciate the balanced approach of the owner and my trainers (Hien and Maggie). I am listening to my body and adapting exercises where needed, while still advancing toward my fitness goals and pushing myself safely. I highly recommend FIT!

This review is for CrossFit Los Altos. I've never had a personal training session but everyone I see training looks happy.

I LOVE this gym because of the people and of course I get a great workout. The owners, trainers/coaches and members all really care about each others well-being. When I first started here a little over a year ago, I was intimidated to start at a new gym because I wasn't sure what to expect or the type of people to expect. I can still clearly remember how friendly and welcoming everyone was to me on my first day and not just the coaches but everyone.

On the fitness-side: All workouts are scalable and there are always alternatives if you're coming off an injury or just starting out. Every day/week is different so you don't get bored. We also track our performance so we can see how we've improved over time. There's also a wide range of fitness levels, some folks compete and many don't, no matter where you land in that spectrum, you're not alone.

The format of the classes:
warm up (run, row, etc)
mobility (foam rolling and whatnot)
Strength (lifting)
WOD (workout of the day)
