Disclaimer

New online training clients must complete a minimum of 10 in-person sessions before transitioning to online personal training. This ensures we can properly assess your form, technique, and goals before moving to a remote coaching format.

Achieve new levels of fitness with the help of our professional online personal trainers committed to guiding you towards healthier habits and stronger bodies. If you’re a beginner trying to figure out how to exercise correctly, or an experienced athlete seeking more challenging training goals, SVA’s expert instruction, ongoing encouragement and customized guidance will keep you focused, motivated and steadily progressing toward lasting success.

Personalized Online Training Services in Oakland

The foundation of individualized coaching and great training experiences is a solid onboarding process. We require all clients to complete at least 10 in-person training sessions before transitioning to our online personal training program. These initial sessions are when our coaches get to know your physical capacity, find the most effective exercises, establish resistance levels and make sure that every movement is being practiced safely and correctly before moving to remote coaching.

For your introduction to SVA, you’ll receive a complimentary dynamic power workout and first round of coaching sessions so we can get to know you better. At this time we discuss your exercise history, review your daily habits, and evaluate your current fitness level. We explore the goals you hope to achieve. We use this information to find you a trainer whose experience and coaching methods match your personality, preferences and long term goals.

At sustainable fitness we believe it’s about doing a program that feels achievable and rewarding. Our trainers create personalized programs, not generic workout plans, to keep you motivated through each step of your progress, build your confidence and encourage consistency. We are here to help you develop healthy habits that will lead to lasting improvements in fitness and overall wellness.

Prerequisites

  1. Body composition test
  2. Testing upper limits
  3. 10 completed in-person sessions (minimum)
  4. Demonstrate self-reliance.

Group-255

Personalized Training Plans:

All workouts are individually designed with the TrueCoach app and adapted to your fitness goals, experience, strengths and weaknesses. Your trainer will monitor your performance on an ongoing basis, evaluate your progress, and adjust your workouts as needed to ensure each session is effective, challenging, and aligned with your long-term goals.

Group-256

DXA Scan:

DXA scan gives you a detailed breakdown of your body composition by accurately measuring lean muscle mass, bone density, and body fat percentage. This high-tech device will generate complete data within minutes that your trainer can use to make informed recommendations and develop a training program customized to your body’s current condition and future fitness goals.

The advantage of doing DXA scans multiple times on your journey is that you get a much better view of how your body is reacting to training. Instead of just looking at changes in body weight, you can look at improvements in muscle growth, fat loss and overall body composition, allowing your trainer to adjust both the exercise programming based on sound data.

Weekly Check-In:

Weekly coaching sessions give you the accountability and structure to keep you on track to make consistent progress throughout your fitness journey. Your trainer reviews your recent workouts at each virtual meeting, discusses any concerns or challenges, reviews your results and updates your training plan whenever changes are needed to keep you on track to your goals.

Regular conversations also offer good opportunities for education, encouragement, and individual feedback. Whether we connect, video conferencing, email or direct messaging, our goal is to keep you supported, motivated and confident throughout every stage of your program.

I’ve been training with Seung about 4 months. I joined to get my strength back up after I stopped weightlifting for a while. I got my strength back for the big 3 (DL, bench, squats) pretty quickly with his coaching. Seung has Olympic lifting and powerlifting background so he is an expert to get you lifting heavy.

SVA is a great facility with state of the art equipment and method tracking your progress. I definitely recommend getting a trainer who can help you with programming if you’re feeling stuck where you’re at with fitness.

They have an awesome community they put together. Everyone’s got good energy when you come in here. Coaches are very experienced and knowledgeable. You won’t be disappointed. They also do some community events like renting out a movie theater to watch Avatar 2 as well as diet seminars.

For price point, it’s in par with what you’d see at other places. The good thing is they made it way easy to put good use from the HSA. Use that HSA and invest in yourself.

Highly competent coaches and very motivating environment to upskill. There’s no judgement to experiment but also no compromise on quality! SVA gym sessions are the highlight of my husband and I’s week. Special shoutout to Miguel for pushing us way beyond what we expected of ourselves

Coach Compton is amazing! His personalized training program helped me get stronger than I ever had been. 400+lb squats, 225+lb bench, 300+lb deadlifts, and much more! Plus my conditioning went from good to great! I was able to get a win at a Jiu Jitsu tournament, out working and out hustling my opponent.
Whatever your goals, he will help you get there!

Daniel Compton is a fantastic trainer and a great addition to Silicon Valley Athletics. I trained with him for a year at a different facility. His programming is incredible and very much something I would not do on my own. I saw great results and more importantly feel so much stronger. He was able to work with my injuries, show me modifications and ultimately help me overcome the injuries to be stronger and more resilient than before. If you are ready to work and push yourself to your strongest, Daniel is your guy.

I trained with Michael at Silicon Valley Athletics in 2024, and it was an incredible experience! Michael is extremely knowledgeable, motivating, and knows exactly how to tailor workouts to your goals. Every session pushed me in the right way, helping me improve strength, endurance, and overall fitness. The facility is clean, well-equipped, and the staff is welcoming. If you want real results and a trainer who genuinely cares, Michael is the one to work with!

SVA has a terrific and dedicated staff that trains their clients to their individual needs. All the trainers are friendly and very personable. I like the quiet environment of the gym—no loud music blaring into your ears. I’m glad for Keiller to be my personal trainer even when I questioned his methods. He readily assures me that I can do this, and encouragely stands by. Highly, highly recommend in trying SVA services

I've worked with a few personal trainers so far but my experience working with Hadji has been the best. He is an excellent trainer and really knows his stuff - he is great at tailoring exercises to your unique needs. He is also very approachable, easy to talk to, and genuinely invested in helping you grow. He pushes you to do your best, but always in a motivating and supportive way. I’ve learned a lot from him and would highly recommend working with Hadji if you can!

I was looking for someone to teach me how to train safely and also in general how to approach fitness strategy to actually build strength. I've had nothing but positive experiences with every person I've encountered at SVA and can't recommend it enough. They were able to analyze my goals, my over/under-active muscles, strengths, weaknesses, to help me develop a strategic workout plan. They pushed me hard and also taught me how to properly rest/de-load.

The price may seem intimidating at first, but it is worth every penny.

Special shoutout to Paul who was my trainer. This guy knows everything about everything to do with weightlifting and training. He also showed me some exercises to help with some running injuries I had (that even my orthopedic doctor wasn't able to help me with). He's also crazy jacked and it's inspiring.

SVA is fantastic! Crystal is undoubtedly one of the best personal trainers I've ever worked with. Her professionalism and dedication are commendable, and she's significantly helped me enhance my form and strength. I'm truly grateful for all her efforts.

I really like the atmosphere and the positive energy from the trainers. The one-on-one coaching has kept me motivated and consistent with my workouts. Though it's a smaller gym and can feel a bit crowded during the peak hours, it's never overwhelming. It feels a lot more friendly and communal compared to a big chain gym. It's also cool that multiple trainers know my name. I've worked with three of the trainers and I really like my current trainer Yoav. He's upbeat and knowledgable and is quick to adjust the program or provide coaching when something isn't working for my body. Personal training does cost a bit more, but it's nice to not have an added gym membership fee. I feel that it has been worth it for me because this is the most consistent I have ever been with a workout routine and I always come away feeling accomplished.

I usually do not write reviews, but I felt like I needed to write one for this great team. I have been working out with Joey, Howard, and a few other trainers at SVA for over a year now, and this is the best investment I have made for myself. The team is not just very experienced, professional, and committed to their work, but also one has a feeling of being part of a community. Also, Joey always pays attention to his clients' satisfaction and progress. He does care about them. I recommend this training facility to everyone looking for professional and dedicated trainers to make positive life changes.

How quickly will I see the results of my training?

The DXA scan kicks off your fitness journey by giving your trainer the details of your body composition so they know what to expect in terms of how you’ll progress. From these results we develop a personalized plan and projected timeline that takes into account your unique starting point and fitness goals. Many clients report a significant increase in their energy, sleep and overall daily mood within two to three weeks of consistent training.

Physical transformation takes time and consistency, it is a slow process. If you follow your personal exercise program, you will be making significant progress over the long term. We encourage clients to measure success by strength, endurance, mobility and how their clothes fit and not just body weight.”

Those who stick with the process often see profound improvements that go beyond appearance. Clients report not only a stronger, more toned body but also better posture, increased confidence, enhanced physical performance, and a healthier lifestyle that supports sustainable long-term results.
