1. Start where you are
We ask about your health, history, and schedule, and test how you move, so your first sessions fit your body instead of punishing it.

Weight loss personal training in Los Altos
Lose weight and keep it off by getting stronger. Private, one-on-one coaching from trainers who started their own fitness journeys overweight.
Who it's for
- You've tried diets or gym memberships that didn't stick
- You're getting back to it after years away, after having kids, or after a demanding stretch of work

How we train it

Strength training is the core of the program. Building muscle while you lose fat helps you look and feel better and makes the results easier to keep.
3. Stay consistent
We change up your routine, give practical nutrition guidance, and keep a direct line open between sessions, so you keep showing up.

What clients say
That was a little more than a year ago. I've lost 45 lbs, have more energy, sleep better and got my self-esteem back!
In 2011, my goal was to greatly improve my conditioning, and in eight months, Jason helped me lose 50 pounds in addition to improving my strength, mobility, and balance.
I'm very impressed and would highly recommend Carl's training services to anyone struggling with an injury or weight issue.
Weight Loss questions
Do you help with nutrition?
Yes. Creed holds a Stanford nutrition certificate and Jason is an Apex Nutrition Specialist, and we give practical nutrition guidance alongside your training. If you follow a diet prescribed by your doctor or a dietitian, we work within it.
I haven't exercised in years. Is that OK?
Yes. Many of our clients start after a long break. We begin with foundational exercises at a level that fits you and build from there, without the burpees-on-day-one approach.
How fast will I lose weight?
We don't promise a number by a date. We build a plan you can keep up with and track your progress, so you can see it working.
How do I get started?
Book a free consultation. We'll talk through your goals, history, and schedule, then recommend a training plan.
