3Fit

I have trained with both Marcel and Vince for the past 2 months and have seen a huge difference in my body since. More specifically, I have been working with Vince to lose body fat and tone. He pushes my limits and explains the purpose of each workout. I highly recommend 3Fit!

3FIT is seriously amazing. From being able to do my first-ever pull up to doing thousands of burpees at a time (maybe a small exaggeration on the burpees), I am blowing past goals I had always set for myself, but never thought I'd be able to achieve. And I am having fun doing it!I've been training with Marcel 2 times/week for about 8 months now and could not be happier with my results thus far. In the past I have tried so many different gyms, classes, bootcamps, etc. etc., and never really saw the dramatic results I had hoped for. That changed once I started working out at 3FIT. It didn't take long for me to begin to notice a huge change -both inside and out. I feel stronger and healthier than ever before.Each workout is super challenging and different from the last. Marcel does a fantastic job of knowing exactly how much I can handle (which is sometimes more than I *think* I can handle). He also keeps a laser focus on my form to make sure that I am doing everything exactly right.The gym itself is great! It has everything you could ever imagine and more - rock climbing wall, giant tires, TRX, kettle bells and more. It's super convenient to get to off of Central Expressway and there's always plenty of parking available.If you have been thinking about giving personal training a try (or even trying out a boot camp), look no further than 3FIT. I cannot recommend this place enough. It will be one of the best decisions you make. It sure was for me!

Been going to 3FIT for more than 1.5 years now and couldn't be happier. I've worked with CJ and Vincent (and tips/tricks every now and then from Marcel on form and mobility). All of them are fabulous and keeps me coming back.Pros -1. Fitness assessment at the beginning to help you understand progress and goals.2. Focus on correct form. A lot of time is spent teaching correct exercise form before we even start going heavy on weights.3. Immense variety in workouts. You'll never be bored.4. Workout tracking. I have details on sets/reps of each workout since day 1 of my workouts.5. Vincent/Marcel are superb motivators.6. I am injury prone in my back and hurt myself every few months (lots of seating at work, bad posture, etc.) And every single time, they've modified my workouts to accommodate injury and help with recovery.7. Unlike some other instructors I know of, Vincent is extremely accommodating. I've had to cancel our sessions in the past, due to some injury, urgent work, etc. but it has never been an issue.Cons -Only con is that since I've moved to Milpitas, it has become a bit of drive and traffic is pretty bad in the evening. But I can't imagine not coming here so thats a Pro :-)Keep up the great work guys and your passion clearly shows!

If you want to finish a class feeling strong, accomplished and sweaty, this is the place for you!I get an amazing full body workout every single time, thanks to the expertise and personalization Marcel provides in his group bootcamps.Each workout is different, so I never get bored and I'm constantly challenging my body in different ways.Training at 3Fit has helped me become a a better runner which is my main goal.Thanks Marcel!

Marcel is a tremendously knowledgable, patient, and down-to-earth trainer who has made my life so much better! I used to have chronic neck and shoulder pains from an old injury, and was tired of constantly struggling with body aches. Through my PT sessions at 3Fit, I've developed tons of strength, become much more aware of my posture, and learned really useful stretches to improve my day-to-day life. 3Fit's Bootcamps are fun and a good workout for people of all fitness levels too! The workouts are always different and you get to use a variety of equipment in very creative fashions! The facilities are also great for people who have busy work schedules (shower+lockers).

3Fit is truly exceptional -- plain and simple. If you are looking for someone to train with -- LOOK NO FURTHER! I have lived all over the Bay Area and worked with trainers in Redwood City, San Francisco, and Menlo Park. The 3Fit team easily outshines the rest. Expect the highest quality training in the Bay in a fully equipped, quiet, personal setting. This was a huge plus for me, since working out in front of a bunch of other people has always made me feel a bit self conscious.The trainers are top notch -- bringing experience, INTELLIGENCE, and kindness to the table. These are people you not only want to train with but be friends with. Do you have an injury? They will modify exercises. Are you new to the gym? Prepare to learn (and enjoy it!). Do you have extensive experience working out? Prepare to be impressed (I thought I'd seen pretty much every standard exercise out there -- wrong)! Do certain exercises scare the daylights out of you? Prepare to meet the people who will help you (without pressuring you!) overcome those fears.I discovered 3Fit via Yelp almost exactly a year ago. After a string of horrible experiences with trainers, and a years worth of unhealthy eating and basically not working out at all, I knew something had to change. The location is a little tricky to find the first time you go, so give yourself a cushion your first session. I was very nervous at the beginning, but those feelings of trepidation quickly dissipated after a few very successful sessions. We started work in early January and by March I ran the first 5k of my life! I have had horrible ankle and back pain due to horseback riding injuries compounded by sitting in an office. Marcel and his team worked with me to deal with these injuries and form better daily routines -- helping manage my pain in and out of the gym. Not ONCE have I ever felt uncomfortable, scared, or ignored in a session. Now that I'm in law school, I look forward to each session as a time to let go, sweat, and do something completely positive for my body. No matter how hectic my schedule, I have never once thought to myself: "I should have spent that time doing something else." Every session is time well spent and I feel my body and mind are better off for it. Yours will be too!

I have been working with Marcel as my personal trainer for over 9 years! Let's just say I am of a certain age that qualifies me for senior discounts, and that when I retired from my high-tech desk job, I promised myself I'd finally start devoting some time and energy to my physical health. I joined one of the big box gyms-that-will-not-be-named, and the new membership came with some 'free' personal training. I didn't really want it (joined for the group exercise classes), but after one session of working with the trainer (lo and behold, it was Marcel!), I was hooked. He made the work challenging but fun, and always made sure to take my age and health factors (AKA arthritis) into consideration. Over the years since then, he has not only left the big box gym factory behind to open his own gym, but has developed some in-depth knowledge of kinesiology, and works hand-in-hand with my chiropractor to make sure I am doing the right kind of training for my aging, arthritic joints. As they say, getting old isn't for the faint of heart, but thankfully with Marcel's expert help, I'm going to feel young for many years to come

Marcel is the best personal trainer I've met so far. He generally starts each session with preplanned exercises, providing workarounds for any particular exercise that might cause issues for people who have had injuries and are concerned about reactivating them. He's also great at recommending alternative exercises and stretches for injury prone areas. Whenever I work out at a gym, I might be sore for maybe the next day, but from his 1 hour group sessions, I'm typically sore for 3, sometimes 4 days.

I have been training with Marcel for about three years. I started at a time when I was injured and going stir crazy from not being able to do any physical activity especially climbing. During the initial training, he was able to work around both my injuries while still getting a good workout.Here are the a few of the many things that I really like about Marcel:1. He was able to figure out my personality and how to work around my quirks2. He has asked me about my goals and catered the workout to help me meet them. As a result, I am climbing stronger.3. He is very knowledgeable but is modest about it4. He is not pushy but knows how to push you (not sure if it makes sense to others but it does to me :) )5. He is a big reason that my wrist injury did not get worse even though I am on computers all the time.In short, if you are looking for a great trainer I highly recommend 3Fit!

Marcel was enthusiastically recommended to me by a friend a year ago and I've been training with him ever since. I am always impressed at his depth of knowledge about the body and nutrition, and I leave workouts feeling exhausted, but totally energized in the best possible way. However, even more than his knowledge, I have a deep respect for him as a person. He is very sensitive to his clients' individual needs and knows exactly how much to challenge you, which ultimately helps you push to the next level. Yet he also knows when support, encouragement, and a listening ear is necessary as well. I've worked with him one-on-one and in group settings, and it's really apparent how much he genuinely cares about his clients and how much he enjoys helping people. As a previous review mentioned, Marcel really does live what he teaches, which makes his training and advice all the more relevant and realistic. And although he no longer does in-home training, the 3Fit gym facility is easily accessible and very well-equipped, which brings some great variety to each workout.All-in-all, I am totally thrilled with the results I've gotten since training with Marcel! More strength and stamina equals more confidence and energy that spills over into all areas of my life.
