I would give Advanced Wellness 6 stars if possible. Leo and Robbi and the rest of the staff are simply amazing. If you put the work in, they will transform your body.

Leo, Robbi and the training staff at AW are fantastic.
I've been working out with them for 9 months now and have dramatically improved my core strentgh so as to avoid future injure. At 36 I found myself plagued by lower back issues, and increasingly injury prone in all the things i love doing (skiing/surfing/golfing/cycling). I was introduced to AW in September of 2018 and can proudly say I've been injury free since I joined. The core of the AW program provides a base level of fitnees I have not had since college. I'm stronger, faster and have transformed my body in relatively little time after moving away from my core cardio only training program.
From the initial on-boarding analysis, to the regular check-in's tied directly to my personal goals, I feel like AW is truly dedicated to keeping me strong. Being a part of AW is like having the best coach in your athletic career all over again, watching you, pushing you, testing you and then there to congratulate you at the finish line.
Thank you AW!

Advanced Wellness totally changed my perspective on what a gym should be. AW takes a wholistic approach - creating wellness and health through movement, nutrition and having a good time.
I discovered Leo and AW as an athlete with lot of issues. For years I'd dealt with hip, knee, ankle and foot issues and my past experience with trainers, therapists and surgeons had left me dissatisfied. The thorough initial assessment and subsequent work to address my specific individual issues has totally changed how I feel and my performance on the court has improved as a result. The experience was so profound that I now plan to pursue a career in this field!
Further, the community feel at the gym may be a bigger draw than the actual workouts. There will be days where you won't have any desire to workout, but find yourself going anyway to see mates and for a laugh between sets.
When I speak of Leo, Robbi and the rest of the AW crew, my words of recommendation usually boil down to how much they care about their clients, something that is hard to find in this industry. Some of us worry if the Shveyds ever find time for themselves. They will routinely go above and beyond for their clients.

I love this gym. The only gym I have ever been able to stick with. I have been coming here for 2.5 years and it's just as good as ever. Each time the personalized training and class training is different so there is no worry about getting bored. The trainers are friendly and thorough. It really feels like a community where you can go and see friends and get a stellar workout. I'm often sore but know I'm getting a quality workout.

I have been working out at Advanced Wellness for 7 years and have never felt better. No workouts are ever the same, so one doesn't get bored or becomes apathetic.
You are always challenged to the best of your abilities. You are constantly being supervised by very professional (yet funny) trainers, so the risks of injuries are slim and none. In these 7 years, I have met the most interesting people, made new friendships and never once, have I felt like I was being judged by anyone.
It is a very safe and friendly environment, no matter what shape you're in or what your previous workout habits have been. The place is clean and well run by Leo & Robbi Shveyd. Something else to note that I have found invaluable, Leo (the owner) will assess you before you start working out there.
Not only do you get assessed for where you are at that time and what type of workout you'll be able to safely do to get you leaner and stronger, but he will keep assessing you every few months so that you can gage your results and move up in what exercises you are then able to do. He is also excellent at rehabbing people with injuries, works a lot with athletes, trains athletes and preps people pre-post surgeries. That way, they go into their surgeries as fit as possible and the recovery time post surgery is much faster. Anyways, thumbs up for AW. I can't say enough good things about this place.

I've joined many gyms in my life, only to let months and months go by without attending once. When I joined AW 3 years ago, I was immediately impressed by how committed and skilled the owners and coaches are in helping you achieve your goals. They truly care about your whole well-being and will reach out to you if you haven't been to the gym in a couple of weeks. The accountability they help you create for yourself is priceless. The great coach-to-client ratio means that whether you are in a team training or semi-private, you'll get the tailored attention you need to achieve great form and physical results. The AW community feels like a family -- trainings are fun and intimate, and easily become the highlight of your day!

AW is a great gym, and it's unlike any other I've ever joined. Here, you can choose the level of intensity of your workout, and your trainers and fellow clients provide support and encouragement! It provides the structure you need to succeed and reach your goals. Most gyms stop working for you when you sign the contract. But for Leo, Robbi and the rest of the team, that is just the beginning. They provide a couture workout program that will get even the most reluctant person to become an enthusiastic workout warrior.
AW finds a way for you to get the most out of your workouts and be the best, fit person you can be. In my 3+ years there, I have transformed my physique and improved my health tremendously.

Leo and Robbi and the rest of the team at Advanced Wellness are amazing. They are serious professionals and care deeply about their members. I really love them as people and having exercised at their gym many times when I was living in SF, I can tell you they know what they are doing and you'll definitely see results if you show up.

I have been working out at Advanced Wellness for 4 years. You can read other reviews to find out why this gym works. I'll offer data: including vacations and other weeks with 0 workouts, and despite having two children born, my 4-year average is still over 2.5 workouts per week. Before this gym I had never exercised consistently for more than three months in a row.

Advanced Wellness has transformed my relationship to exercise. I look forward to going to the gym!
Robbi and Leo have created a warm, supportive and personalized environment that is still challenging. I feel safe to push myself to try things that I would never have done before.
I exercised here throughout two pregnancies (my second with twins) and it gave me the strength to power through two long labors and recover quickly.
I would recommend AW to anyone looking to improve their quality of life.

I have benefited so much both personally and professionally from the Advanced Wellness team! Leo and Robbi got me pain free and maximized my mobility, stability, strength, and endurance so I could play my best golf. I have seen them do the same thing with athletes on an elite level. I can't thank you enough!

I joined Advanced Wellness 4 months ago and it turned out to be exactly what I was looking for, without knowing exactly what that was. I was tired of typical gyms where I was continually not knowing what exercises to do and losing self-motivation to workout. This is more than a gym, because it is an incredible full health program that provides tailored workouts and nutrition, and is a great community and culture. It is for anyone who is looking to improve their health and have fun doing it.
To get an idea of the program, this is a gym that is designed for semi-private and group training. That creates a fun and motivating way to workout with others, but still receive individualized attention. The workouts are 1 hour long, that you sign up for in advance, and are offered during mornings and evenings 6 days a week (Mon thru Sat). The program is designed for you to make at least 3 workouts a week. The workouts are well designed, challenging but catered to your ability, and are a lot of fun. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, and helpful.
This gym has helped me prioritize my health, and I can honestly say it was through the people and program at Advanced Wellness.
