Hey Guys,
Let me give you a little background on what i was before and after:
I started of with Markshane when i was at 227 pounds (around 230 to be precise), this was the first time I had hired a trainer, after trying a lot of different things at the local gym. I trained with him for close to four months..
Things that I loved:
1. The training is never the same, he made it as interesting and fun as possible.
2. You will clearly identify differences with our body within the first ten days ( if you eat right though !! )
3. He is very understanding of what your limits are and pushes you to your best.
Also I have to mention about jeremy here:
He worked with me for the most part of my training here,
1. I loved the way he in- cooperates exercises that you love in the training session - I always wanted to do pull ups which I could never do before (even 1 was insane!), by the time i left I could do different variations in pull ups.
2. Jeremy is very helpful in answering all the questions that you have, I used to ask him the dumbest questions possible and he was always patient.
I wanted to continue training here so badly, but I had to relocate to San Fransisco.
The reason I am writing this review after so long is, I have tried to work with personal trainers in the bay area, but none of them even come close to these guys...
Miss you guys so much !!!! Thanks for the help in kickstarting my fitness.

It's been just 2 weeks (4 sessions) since I started training with Markshane from Shape Up Studios, and it's been so awesome so far that I felt compelled to write a review about my experience! We had our first consultation 3 weeks ago, and i was a little hesitant about getting a new trainer (since i had to leave my old trainer do to relocating to SD)and wondered if he'd meet my expectations. I'm a figure competitor and love to workout but just got stuck in a boring routine and started falling short of meeting my goals to get me back out on stage. Not only did he have the same visions for me when I walked in and met with him for the first time, but I'm already on the fast track to meeting the goals. My energy is up and my confidence is back! If you are looking for someone to who will motivate you, listen to what you need, make a personalized plan for you, push you to your limits, and help you start reaching your goals, then I definitely recommend Markshane.

Great place to workout! I first found this studio about 7 months ago when I was looking to lose weight and become more active. Markshane is very supportive and always charged with energy; it inspires you to workout more! He listens to all your concerns and suggests what is best. My trainer Fredie is amazing, I couldn't be happier. I've worked with a few other trainers in the studio every now and then and they are all great. You will never get bored of the workouts with so many variations. I've been to other gyms and worked with trainers in other places but I could never stick with them because I felt overworked and tired afterwards and they never put in efforts to know more about how your body feels or what you are capable of that particular time/day. What I love the most is the fact that Markshane and Fredie are very knowledgeable. I learn something new about muscles, the connection with nervous system, movements and nutrition in every session with Fredie. They also have flexibility to provide online sessions when you're on vacation or away from SD. They have a clean space, washrooms to freshen up, and play nice beats to pump you up for the workout.

Markshane is amazing and has really motivated me to get in shape. First of all the initial assessment prior to us getting started was very thorough and I have never had a trainer be so detailed in getting info and listening to me. I have felt and seen a difference in my body getting stronger. He holds me accountable and checks in with me. Kara is amazing as well. Im so happy to have a team of supporters who are helping me get into shape.

This man knows exactly what he’s doing! When I reached out he got back to me within minutes and we were able to schedule an assessment. When I got there the studio was huge and had other good looking trainers. He was very kind and broke down everything to me and even gave me a mini workout to see what we would be doing. Within the 20-30 minutes he was patient with me and showed me how to properly do each exercise and explained to me where it was targeting. It wasn’t easy but he didn’t work me out to the point I didn’t want to return (which happened at those workout bootcamp) because he tailored it to me. I highly recommend him, and believe that he really wants to see people reach their goals whether that’s weight loss, toning, or even boosting their self esteem. You won’t be sorry!!
