    I’ve been going to Advanced Wellness (AW) for the last 3 years. I’ve had several of my friends join and we all love it! I love it for a number of reasons. Before going to AW, I was intimidated going to a gym. My family signed up for a gym membership when I was a kid and that gym was acquired by 24hour. I have a $30/year membership but I rarely use it. On the rare occasions when I went to 24hour, I would wander from machine to machine not getting much out of it. Or I would struggle on the bench press by myself. Leo and Robbi have built a completely different experience. They started by building community at AW where everyone working out in a time slot knows each other’s name. The staff push you to reach your potential but in a fun way. They make sure your technique is correct before encouraging you to push it to the next level. Leo and Robbi are so knowledgeable with body movement and mechanics and they pass this knowledge down to their staff. The staff keep a smile on your face during the workout. The workouts are varied and challenging but you can choose how much you want to push yourself. I started out using a large band to assist with my pull-ups three years ago. Now I can do pull-up’s with a 45lb weight hanging from my waist! I’ve seen the workouts translate to my life in many ways. I’ve protected a lower back issue by strengthening my core and legs. I have much better posture. I’m a much stronger skier (I’m skiing like I did in the 90’s when I lived in Vail and skied 90 days a year). I took the confidence and strength gained at AW and used it to swim Alcatraz without being a very good swimmer ;-) Come check it out. Highly recommended.

    I have been a member at Advanced Wellness for over a year and I can't say enough about Robbi, Leo and the whole team at AW. Historically, I've tried various gyms and none ever stick. Exact opposite has happened with AW, I literally am bummed if I don't get there enough during the week! The trainings are tailored and new weekly and, most important, the team knows each of us very well (and our body's idiosyncrasies) so they are able to customize on the fly. Best part is you don't have to "think" about your routine, show up and the team walks you through the 50-60 minute routines. Can't say enough, try them out with their intro offer, can't hurt to try them!

    The advanced wellness team is amazing. It's not just a gym, but a community of great people who have fun and make staying in shape incredibly easy. I have never enjoyed working out so much and seen such fantastic results. You can tell that everyone there truly cares about helping you be happy and healthy no matter what your goals are. I highly recommend coming here and giving it a shot for at least a few months. You'll definitely see and feel the difference and notice that you can't wait to come back!

    Love this gym! I have been coming here for a few years and I can’t believe it has taken me this long to write a review! Robbi and the AW Trainers are amazing. They are motivational, fun and knowledgeable. The workouts are never the same and are consistently challenging. AW also communicates the ever changing COVID a guidelines to its members and focuses on making sure everyone is staying healthy and safe. Highly, highly recommend this local gym.

    I have never been a gym person, or considered myself into fitness, until now. The vibe at AW is awesome. Low stress, not intimidating at all, everyone is super nice and helpful. The instructors really pay attention and help you. I've gone from dreading the notion of working out, to actually looking forward to my weekly workouts! Thank you AW crew.

    I just love AW. The workouts are always great (and challenging!) and the staff is incredibly knowledgable. The atmosphere is friendly and not at all intimidating. I look forward to my workouts every week.

    I am so thankful for my past three years as an AW client. I started off with no knowledge of strength and conditioning training, but with the help of the AW team, I quickly felt comfortable and confident in a gym environment. I joined the gym because I knew that AW would be the perfect gym for a beginner like me to train in a personalized setting. For the past three years, I’ve learned and practiced proper form while also improving my overall fitness. The trainers are true experts in fitness but they also help foster a strong sense of community. As I improved my own skills, I learned that AW is a gym where people at all levels (newbies, athletes, people recovering from injuries, etc.) can train together. The AW team was resilient and creative throughout the duration of the pandemic, creating virtual, outdoor, and eventually indoor exercise options for all clients. THANK YOU to the AW trainers for making me stronger, more fit, and more confident in the gym.

    AW is a great gym, and it's unlike any other I've ever joined. Here, you can choose the level of intensity of your workout, and your trainers and fellow clients provide support and encouragement! It provides the structure you need to succeed and reach your goals. Most gyms stop working for you when you sign the contract. But for Leo, Robbi and the rest of the team, that is just the beginning. They provide a couture workout program that will get even the most reluctant person to become an enthusiastic workout warrior. AW finds a way for you to get the most out of your workouts and be the best, fit person you can be. In my 3+ years there, I have transformed my physique and improved my health tremendously.

    I've joined many gyms in my life, only to let months and months go by without attending once. When I joined AW 3 years ago, I was immediately impressed by how committed and skilled the owners and coaches are in helping you achieve your goals. They truly care about your whole well-being and will reach out to you if you haven't been to the gym in a couple of weeks. The accountability they help you create for yourself is priceless. The great coach-to-client ratio means that whether you are in a team training or semi-private, you'll get the tailored attention you need to achieve great form and physical results. The AW community feels like a family -- trainings are fun and intimate, and easily become the highlight of your day!

    Advanced Wellness is a great place to get in shape. The workouts are challenging but are easily scaled up or down based on the individual. This is different than other places where I have trained where I felt like it was too easy or I was in over my head relative to the other participants. The trainers are very competent, encouraging and are super friendly. They get to know all of their clients and do a great job introducing those who don’t know each other. They find a common thread between individuals to enhance the connection. The camaraderie among the participants is a huge bonus. Advanced Wellness is a community, not just a gym. Everyone is so supportive and we all have a ton of fun and a lot of laughs while we are training together. I can’t give enough praise to AW and highly recommend others give it a try.

    Advanced Wellness has saved my body and allowed me to be an athlete again. Words cannot describe my appreciation, but this is my attempt: After playing competitive soccer all my life, competing in long distance running and cycling events, and generally trying to stay active most days, I had the unfortunate experience of tearing my ACL knee ligament while playing soccer at the age of 28. My surgeon in San Francisco recommended meeting with Leo at Advanced Wellness to discuss physical therapy. From the first time I met him and his wife and co-owner, Robbi, they have been encouraging, knowledgeable, challenging, and my improved my overall mobility and strength. I am still a member at AW long after my "recovery" period because it is the best way to get a great workout and a personalized injury prevention program. Each time I depart AW, I'm shocked at how hard the workout is and yet it can be completed by all members of the gym at all fitness levels. This is the sign of a true fitness genius! Congrats to Leo and Robbi for building a family of trainers and members that are a joy to be around. I recommend AW without reservation!
