Diakadi Body - Personal Training and Wellness Center

Diakadi Body is the best gym with the best trainers! This gym definitely has the best environment for Personal Training, truly offering a "Zen-like" experience compared to any other gym I've been to. Diakadi offers a whole new approach to Personal Fitness as its a gym where the sole focus is Personal Training. When I first began training here six months ago, I wanted to find a gym, where I could focus on my fitness goals. I was training for my first Marathon, the San Francisco Marathon and wanted to take my running to the next level. I've always been an avid runner, but knew I needed to work on my core if I really wanted to become a faster and stronger runner. Thanks to my trainer Luis Chirinos, my core and physical endurance has become stronger than it has ever been in my life! Since I have been training with Luis I have ran several PR's and my 5K Race time is now faster than it was in High School. I even placed 4th overall in a recent Race in San Francisco and have had several top 10 finishes, most importantly I finished the SF Marathon in August and felt strong throughout the race, thanks to the core building exercises from my training. Luis is one amazing dedicated personal trainer and really knows the mechanics of the human body, providing me with the best core-strengthening and balance exercises, which has taken my running to the next level!

If you want to work out with a personal trainer, this is it! Diakadi body has all fitness levels. The facility has tons of different equipment in an environment that is clean, functional and cool. My trainer has provided diverse workouts that meet all my objectives and leave me drenched and coming back for more. They do a great job of limiting the number of trainers working at any given time so it never feels crowded. Everyone there is working with a trainer, so everyone is in the same boat you are. If you are serious about working with a trainer.... DO IT! When I started, I was so out of shape, walking up the stairs to Diakadi left me winded. I lost 25 pounds, have kept it off for 2 years, have competed in a triathlon and a half marathon and am in the best shape of my life. If you want to change, if you have a goal, if you need a little help, Diakadi is the BEST and only answer.

Billy tailors your workout to your specific needs. He is great in helping you to come back from injuries and in guiding you to avoid new injuries. He helped me come back from shoulder surgery that some surgeons said I would not fully recover from. He continually revises your workout to reflect your progress and to keep your workout interesting. Billy inspires you to do the best that you possibly can. Most important is that he makes working out lots of fun, helped by his quick wit and constant interest in you as a person.

Diakadi is the cleanest facility I have ever worked out in. The equipment is state of the art, and there are thoughtful amenities everywhere. The atmosphere is always positive and upbeat. Best place to work out in SF or anywhere! I would give Billy and Diakadi more stars if they were offered.

After 30 years of lupus, a ruptured lumbar disc, and six joint surgeries including two hip replacements I never thought I'd be able to walk without pain. But after working with Richard, Diakadi's staff physical therapist, my back and sore joints healed and I could finally exercise without discomfort. Then I added Lynne to my regimen and my fitness really started to take off. I do Yoga and Pilates moves that I never thought I would be able to do. My stamina has gone way up, from ten minutes of cardio to almost an hour.

Diakadi has really changed my life. Every other gym I've been to the trainers pushed me beyond my limits and I always ended up hurt. At Diakadi my trainers really wanted to understand my health needs and work with them rather than against them. In almost two years I've never been hurt. I started out with a cane and now I'm walking and hiking and never need my cane.

Everyone is friendly and supportive and from day one I felt comfortable and at home. It's a gym where regular folks work out alongside world-class athletes and no one feels out of place.

Diakadi is amazing. I don't know what I would do without them. Every single person -from the trainers to the physical therapists to the receptionists - is so nice and extremely professional. My trainer is constantly staying connected to the latest advances in training and working out and has truly changed my life. Diakadi is THE BEST!!!
