Rick (the owner @ Strong Island ) is an impressive individual (Smart, honest, kind). I noticed that his doors had reopened post COVID, so I decided to stop in and tour the facility. The gym is perfect. Well equipped, and no nonsense. I was born and raised just a couple of blocks away from here (back when Velo Sports used to operate out of the address). The North Berkeley neighborhood is seriously benefited by having this establishment in it.

Since my last review, still highly recommend SIF for personal training as well as small exercise classes. I like the owners, trainers, small local facility. Mellow vibe there for seniors. Owners select nice and knowledgeable trainers.

The owners' dog is also cute - Gannon!

What an incredible place. The trainers have shown me lots of ways to work out that are different (and probably better) than what I've learned in the past. They are very welcoming to all sizes, shapes and ages as well.

Rick, the owner should start a side gig teaching other small businesses how to hire good people. Everyone that works there is incredibly friendly and seem well schooled in how to do personal training.

I worked with Rick for a year and a half and have nothing but great things to say.

He guided me through proper form on squats, deadlifts, and complex moves like Turkish get-ups. If my back was stiff, elbow hurting, or foot causing problems, he'd not only tailor my workout to work around the issue, but he'd also show me mobilization techniques to help loosen up that area. Much of what I learned from him will be part of my fitness routine for the long term.

The cherry on top: He's one of the warmest, kindest people I've ever interacted with. He really cares about each person in that studio. The other trainers are also friendly and very positive.

I loved going to this studio and I'll miss living nearby.
