Alive! Fitness Studio

Their strength training is like nothing I've experienced before. In just one to two 30 minute sessions a week, I've gone from post-partum abs to abs of steel! (Really!) The personal attention to my needs and progress are outstanding. Great support and great results.I highly recommend you give it a try!

This place is amazing. Taru and James have invested in the highest quality equipment available for their fitness studio which you will be hard pressed to find anywhere else. Their trainers are all certified so they make sure you get the most out of your workouts, safely.If you haven't come by to check out the studio and meet their wonderful staff, I highly recommend you do!

I have been working with James for almost two years now and I love it. The strength training program is challenging and I always feel like a rock star after I'm done. The studio is clean and conveniently located off 101. If you are looking to get healthy, build some muscle, and remain mobile as you get older, I recommend you check them out. Ask them about their summer promo when you call.

If you want to get your body sculpted without any judgments, loud music and the latest trends in Lycra fashion I highly recommend Alive. You feel totally comfortable here to work out with professionally trained fitness instructors in a controlled and safe manner. James and Taru know what they're doing and make you feel very welcome. So glad we have this gym in San Carlos!

I'm writing this review while my preteen does their strength training circuit. I believe she's Alive's youngest client. She's an underweight kid who wants to improve her strength for dance and sports, and I'm very optimistic. I've been working out with James for over three years now; my husband sees him too, and I can't thank him enough for our freedom from pain, improved posture, better energy, and independence while traveling. (I can haul anything into and out of overhead bins without any risk of killing myself or a fellow passenger!)

Alive! Whole Life Fitness Studio: Strength, Wisdom, Versatility, Knowledge, Professional, Encouraging, Experienced, Motivating, Skilled, and Gentle. There are not enough words to describe my experience. I highly recommend this studio.

Really had a horrible experience here. People were rude and they pushed me too hard in my workout. I ended up getting injured and have never felt just right again. Not recommendable.

I started out at Alive! as part of a recovery program after major hip surgery. Not only have I recovered from the surgery, but the excellent coaching at Alive! has helped me regain strength and function lost to years of joint deterioration. I feel like I've been able to "roll back the clock" at least ten years. Along with improved overall strength and mobility, my balance is making a comeback!I recommend Alive! for anyone who wants to regain physical confidence and comfort whether lost from age, injury or surgery. And if you're a serious athlete, Alive! could be an integral part of a balanced training regimen.

Joining Alive Studios is one of the best things I've ever done for myself. My purpose for joining was to get stronger without injury. Everyday things in life are easier because of my increased strength. I continue to surprise myself. This has been the best investment in my well being and I will never stop this type of strength training. I am so appreciative of James and Taru for making this workout available.

I've been doing slow motion strength training at Alive! for the past six months. I can't believe the impact this program has had on my life. I've experienced:* less back and neck pain* increased strength and endurance (at age 60+)* improved breathing * better balance and posture* a renewed commitment to my own health and wellnessI really value the personal expertise, attention and encouragement that I receive from my trainer. It makes all the difference in the world.
