"I signed up for privates with Daniel after a year of unsuccessful recovery from a knee and shoulder injury....[He] taught me how to properly engage all muscles and build strength in order to take the pressure off my injuries and slowly build back strength in the injured areas...I am so grateful to have him as a trainer and motivator. I've dropped a pant size, built muscle and am still injury-free!"

"When I first came to see Daniel I was bloated, had chronic stomach issues, stressed, overweight, had awful posture and was constantly getting knee and other muscular injuries. I was a physical and emotional mess and it was having a major impact on my well-being and quality of life.
Daniel took the time and effort to understand me in great detail — my lifestyle, eating habits, sleep, rest, stress levels etc to put together a program to correct years of bad habits. We started slowly, fixing my breathing issues, instilling good life habits and basic body movements, to give me a good grounding on which to build. Over many months, we worked to improve my co-ordination, stamina and strength to a level which showed a demonstrable improvement in my physical and mental well-being. 18 months later, I am 25 lbs down, gained significant muscle and strength, lost my bloating and am a much happier individual. He goes the extra mile to ensure his clients succeed. He is more than a PT. He genuinely cares about his clients and their wellness. I also have great fun during our sessions and Daniel is a positive and energetic person to be around. I can not thank him enough and wish I had met him years ago!" -Beverley C., San Francisco |

"I have now worked with Daniel for 2 years. When I first started working with him, I had already gotten myself into a good place as far as my body went. However, he helped me develop my form and becoming more aware of feeling my muscles activate and how to engage them. I go to the gym now with greater confidence, plus, I've had several people complement my form. To which I know I have Daniel to thank for.
We've also incorporated Kickboxing to our routine. At first it was not something that came naturally to me. With much patience, he was able to push me to a place where I feel much comfortable and coordinated with not only the movements, but practicing with other people as well. My foot work and Kicks have greatly improved it is now something I've developed a passion for and not willing to give up anytime soon! Throughout my journey, Daniel has not only been a great teacher, trainer, and coach, he's also become a great friend. And to me that is a sign of a great trainer!" -Thomas A., San Francisco, CA |

"I have been training with Daniel for a little over a year now. Previously I have worked with a number of other trainers since 2007. Daniel is well-versed in all training techniques and is very knowledgeable about the human body. But what makes Daniel different is his passion, integrity and discipline in doing what’s right for the clients. This approach will yield superior results in the long run for his clients. Rather than focus primarily on strength training, Daniel made a few adjustments in my training routine and, as a result, I have become a lot more balanced and my mobility is much improved. I believe these changes will be significantly beneficial for me in the long run."

group session feedback
"Daniel is genius! For the first time ever I have an understanding of what parts and way my body is supposed to move. His ability to verbally explain, create exercises very specific to areas you need to practice to help you achieve the bigger exercises you are struggling with, as well as his body control which allows him to demonstrate exercises in very specific and slow motion makes the experience an enlightening one. If, hopefully when I save for a personal one on one class it would be for him as an instructor."
-Gracie A., San Francisco "...instructors like Daniel Martinez...practice what they preach...Their breadth of knowledge is matched only by the clarity as well as care they bring to instruction." -Masha R., Oakland "Daniel is the best! Great workout, great trainer, great location. What more can you ask for???" -Noah T., San Francisco "Daniel is a rockstar, the right amount of sensitivity to [people's] thresholds and abilities and up to make us laugh. Good fun!" -Claire S., San Francisco "Daniel is a great trainer. Patient and able to focus on individuals while handling the group" -Steven G., San Francisco |
