Physique Magnifique

Physique Magnifique is such a lovely gym community! I have been coming here for personal training with my trainer, Louis Perez for about a year and a half now. Louis is a very knowledgeable and dedicated trainer. He makes sure that every one of our sessions is personalized due to goals I have for myself and the support he gives. Louis motivates me and gives me the space to feel safe and comfortable when coming to the gym. Any questions I have about work outs or how the human body works, Louis is able to answer. If you are looking to start working out but you don’t know how to start- don’t hesitate to work with Louis! He has forever changed the way I look at healthy ways to lose weight, build muscle, and eat right.

When you join this gym, you join a family— literally and figuratively. This family owned gym is a hidden gem in SF. The culture in the gym is friendly and welcoming. Everyone encourages each other. I trained 1:1 with Futaba, who is so skilled at body building and helping with mind-muscle connection. She’s great if you’re a beginner to weightlifting. Their 6 week body transformation challenge was transformative for me. I lost weight and got out of prediabetes! Once I got stronger, I wanted to try CrossFit style, so Futaba referred me to Louis. Louis got me lifting heavier than I ever thought I could. He will be your best cheerleader. He balances pushing you with encouraging you. I highly recommend starting out 2-3x sessions per week to get full value out of the 1:1 sessions. You’ll see the progress compound exponentially that way. Oh, and Jim, who co owns the gym with Futaba, is so friendly and kind too. When I came in on off days, he’d let me know if I was lifting with risky form. This gym is filled with laughter and joy and makes you want to workout. Grateful I got to train here for ~1.5 years:)

One of the best gyms I have ever been to. Very good old school equipment. Everyone is kind and friendly. I even make the trip from Redwood City just to train here.

Came in for a day pass for boxing while traveling and was impressed with the facilities. Friendly and helpful reception, lots of space and bags, overall recommended! Looking forward to coming again next time I'm in town.

A friendly, clean gym that offers a multitude of fitness options. Casual enough to be comfortable and professional enough to be all-purpose, sanitary and safe. Highly recommended!
