I have worked with personal trainers for over a decade, at big box gyms and smaller, independently owned facilities. I can say without hesitation that Liz and Mina are outstanding trainers. Perhaps what I value the most is the time and attention they invest in creating individually tailored programs that focus on flexibility, stability, and strength. This combination has been so effective at improving my performance as a runner, preventing injuries, and increasing muscle tone. I also love the inclusive, fun, and supportive environment that Liz and Mina have created for their clients. They offer small-group training sessions in an unpretentious environment. Finally, Liz and Mina take the time to work on their professional development as personal trainers rather than rest on their laurels. For all of the reasons and more, Intelligent Fitness gets my highest recommendation!

"I can't overstate how positive an impact Intelligent Fitness has had on my body, my self-esteem, and my overall happiness. I'm stronger, fitter, and more confident in my body's capabilities than I've ever been. I have my share of body image issues and was initially nervous about joining a gym where I'd be working out in front of other people, but the community is so diverse and friendly, those feelings are gone! I love working out with a mixed group of genders, backgrounds, ages, and capabilities.

I love working out in a community that is explicitly woman-affirming and queer-friendly. Everyone is welcome at IF, as long as we treat each other with respect."

"I was referred to Intelligent Fitness by my chiropractor. I had torn my ACL/medial meniscus while snowboarding and was eager to rehab fully from the knee surgery. I got in touch with Liz for a consult. We discussed short & long-term goals. Within 2 months, my injured knee was nearly stronger than the non, and I was back to snowboarding every weekend.

I have been training with Mina and Liz at Intelligent Fitness for a little over a year and I absolutely love it! I came to Intelligent Fitness with some very specific health and fitness concerns and they created a program that is completely tailored to my needs. My strength and flexibility have increased significantly and I look forward to my workouts all week. The sessions are fun and engaging and I feel completely confident in their expertise. I can’t recommend this gym enough.

"I began training at Intelligent Fitness after completing treatment for breast cancer - surgery, chemotherapy, radiation and hormonal therapy -and I am happy to report that I am stronger and more fit than I was prior to my cancer diagnosis. In fact I recently had a bone density test to monitor my osteopenia that now shows my bone density has increased significantly to that of a much younger woman."

The trainers are very caring and helpful, with individual attention and customized programs. The fellow trainees are all positive and nonjudgmental. I am thrilled with the results of my training. After a little over a year, although in my seventies and overweight, I am surpassing most of my peer acquaintances in mobility, strength, flexibility, energy, and endurance, according to comments from friends and relatives!

To start with, the trainers Liz and Mina, are incredible humans. They are understanding, encouraging, and knowledgeable. To make sure we are on track, Liz provides periodic evaluations to see if our individualized programs are serving our goals well.

Throughout my two years here at Intelligence Fitness, I have gone through many programs and it is incredibly encouraging to see my improvement in strength and endurance overtime. I feel so strong and badass when I get to lift heavier weights with good forms.

I've been training with Liz on and off since 2013. I've referred many people to her over the years and it's been awesome to see them grow.

Liz and Mina are awesome strength coaches. They work with you to create a program that works for your fitness goals. They've created the best, most supportive fitness community in the bay. It keeps me coming back even when work or life gets in the way. Liz is an expert at functional movement, flexibility, and training for strength, power, and speed. Whatever your goals are, Liz and Mina will get you there!

Before ever signing up, Liz spent time to get to know me and my health and fitness goals. Once we both decided IF was a good fit for me, Liz created a fitness program suited to my needs.

It didn't take me long to notice that she pays close attention to the details of my body--its mobility and strength--and adjusts my workout plan accordingly. It makes me feel really safe and seen. I haven't felt this strong in years!

I used to be THAT person that thought trainers were for people without discipline. Now I am a total convert. I love the encouragement and attention I get during my workouts. I love that I have a real professional taking care of the planning. I just need to show up with enthusiasm--and that's no problem! And I love all the other IF Athletes. It's a very collegial place where we all want to see each other achieve results.
