Cedar Farwell
“I trained here for a couple of months, and would've kept going if my schedule allowed. The workouts and training are extremely personalized and effective. I originally found this place looking for somewhere with an ARX machine. This and other machines there are top notch.”
Susie S
“I tried this method as a new post injury workout. Alicia was an excellent trainer. I will be back for more!”
Jessica
“I'm very glad I checked this place out. I look forward to my weekly sessions. Feeling great.”
Preetha Nath
“Awesome workouts. Intense, short, personalized and highly effective.”

“Great trainers, Patrick and Chase are super knowledgeable and really know how to motivate. Love the modality of their training, I've found it extremely efficient and effective in maintaining strength and fitness. I was a college athlete and have been fit ever since. Believe them when they say 30 mins once a week is enough to show improvement — and it's amazing how many ways they know how to adjust the workout so you're never comfortable or find it boring. EverStrongSF is truly worth it.”
Alessandra G.
“I started at EverStrong about 8 weeks ago. I do Yoga and Pilates 4–5 days a week but I was losing too much muscle. I hate gyms and wasn't much for weight training, but when I read about EverStrong I was intrigued. I love that each session is private and no more than 30 min. Chase works me to fatigue every session. I just did an InBody and not only have I stopped losing muscle — I have started to gain it back. I feel stronger and it's actually been helping with my handstands at Yoga. I'm now a member and really looking forward to the months ahead.”
Catherine Pantsios
“What I love about EverStrongSF: No mirrors, no clocks, no clanging machines or listening to other people grunting, and having the whole space to myself. But most of all, my amazing trainer, Patrick — he is always laser-focused on my form and keeping me challenged.”
Brian Boyd
“A personal trainer dedicated to your growth and fitness, with a simplified approach to strength training that simply works. Going just once a week for 30 minutes is helping me get back the body I lost during the COVID lockdowns. Highly recommended!”
Tom S.
“If you are self conscious about what you look like working out, this is the place for you. If you feel like you don't have the time to dedicate to your physical health, this is the place for you. I started a couple of months ago, and I am noticeably more toned and strong. Chase is great. He's super tough, and knows exactly what he's doing — I have never had a bad session with him. Highly recommend EverStrongSF!”
Joseph Lopez
“This was a new experience to workout in this style, however the staff were definitely subject matter experts in both fitness and nutrition. This made my time feel well spent, and accepting of the challenge.”
Christina Vigil
“I've been going to Everstrong SF for about 22 months and love it. I have to say that without my fantastic trainer, Amanda, I don't know if I would've kept it up.”
Gerti Tran-Sorensen
“Amanda is one of the best personal trainers. She cared for me very much after I returned from a knee replacement surgery.”
Christina V.
“I've been going to Everstrong for about 18 months and love it. This past year with my trainer Amanda's weekly guidance has been so incredible. She listens and suggests but never pushes. She's incredibly knowledgeable on the body, nutrition, general stressors of life, etc. I have yet to miss a class because I don't want to. She's a really, really good teacher.”
Karanveer M.
“I have been going to EverStrong weekly for 4 months now, and my body feels a lot better. I used to have a trainer at a regular gym before, but my body feels like it does more work in these 30 minutes than it did in 50 minutes at the gym. You can see your numbers on the machines as you work out, which helps you get a good sense of how much you're improving over time.”
Michelle F.
“Really efficient and effective workout for a busy person. Takes less than 20 min only once a week, and you don't even have to come in workout clothes! Yet it is very intense for those 20 min and takes your muscles to fatigue. You can see your progress every week, and you will get stronger. I lost an inch on my waist just doing EverStrong, along with some minor improvements in my diet. The trainers are patient, encouraging and informative.”
Kim Makoi
“Fastest, most efficient workout ever! I love that this workout saves me a lot of time AND also gives results. I have been working out with Patrick over there, and he is great — personable, focused and experienced. So far, the whole process has been positive. Very happy to have this resource in the neighborhood!”
Retreat Skin & Hair Studio
“I can not say enough good things about Everstrong SF! I joined in July in preparation for having a Gastric Sleeve Bypass. As a bigger woman, the experience in a regular gym is not always a great one. At EverStrongSF everyone is welcoming and focused entirely on helping you succeed.”
Christina V.
“After a year, 60+ sessions, with EverStrong, I still really enjoy the 20-min workout and the exceptional trainers. I still get results every week. The very best thing is it's quick; if you don't necessarily like working out, EverStrong is the perfect workout. I had so many aches and pains before EverStrong. I did Pilates 3 times a week and would have incredible shoulder pain, knee pain, etc. The pain is gone. It's almost a miracle that this works so well.”
Tucker K.
“This is a world class gym staffed with world class people. If you want to go to a gym where you know the people genuinely care about your well being and progress — this is the space for you. Experienced or not, anyone with a goal in mind for increased strength will see success. The techniques are backed by science and are a great way to get introduced to the world of muscle building — in a sustainable and long term way. Go here, keep showing up and you will get stronger. Period.”
Erin V.
“As a fitness professional and ultra-marathoner, I didn't want to believe in this technology as a means for creating strength. But I was totally and completely pleasantly surprised!! Using adaptive resistance helped me get stronger in less time and in a whole new way. I was exhausted after each 25-minute session. What was unusual was how alert and energetic I felt within 10–20 minutes after the session. I'm stronger, running faster and ready to compete again after 8 weeks.”
Thierry H.
“Abe and his team are amazing. His method is very different from all I have seen before and highly efficient. He helped me with my recovery post MCL/ACL surgery and Physical Therapy. He was able to fix all the pain and kinks I had and made me stronger in the process. I highly recommend Abe at EverStrong if you want to get stronger without the injuries.”
Kim M.
“Most efficient workout ever!! I LOVE the fact that I don't need to wear special workout clothes or get sweaty enough to need a shower afterward. My strength continues to increase. I don't love working out, but it needs to be done, and the guys at EverStrong make it happen quickly. I have been working out with Patrick, who is great. If you think you don't have time for strength training, definitely check out EverStrong!”
Karen M.
“I've been working out with Abe for several months. I love how the EverStrong system is challenging, but it takes almost no time to see significant results. In just a few months (only once a week!), I've seen results that in the past took me a year to achieve with traditional weight lifting. I feel strong and I've noticed that I'm less fatigued and recover faster from my running workouts since starting with EverStrong. Abe is an expert trainer and has great insights into fitness and nutrition. I recently heard on NPR's Science Friday that the type of training EverStrong offers — super slow, high intensity — is the fastest, most effective way to get strong.”
Elisa C.
“It's not only about working with EverStrongSF once a week but what you take home and implement into your daily life. Working with Abe has been a wake up call for me to look at my daily morning routine, my diet, my sleep patterns, meditation practice and my overall health. I cannot thank him enough.”
Courtney Maree Reiman
“While I'm someone who isn't motivated to go to the gym, I also care a lot about taking good care of my body. Abe introduced me to a method that not only works for me and my busy schedule as a working mother — a solid workout for only 20 minutes, once a week.”
Kenya Moses
“I absolutely loved my session with Abe at EverStrongSF. I am a big believer in keeping the body long, strong and supple and the process that Abe and his team guides you through is amazing. Don't let the fact that each session is only 20 minutes fool you — the results speak for themselves.”
Connor Daly
“I've done a lot of strength training programs over my years of playing high school football and college rugby, and I've never experienced a program like Abe's EverStrong. Just a few minutes on his machines has an unreal effect. I left feeling like I had done a full workout — because I had.”
Amelia Douglass
“I started training here and I love it. It is challenging but very safe. They are helping me increase my vertical leap (I'm a volleyball player) and I'm well above the net now. I'm not so tall so this is awesome.”
D'Arcy D.
“I'm on my third month of weekly workouts and I've started seeing great results. But the interesting result I wasn't prepared for was how much better my posture is. Intimate space. Good energy. I highly recommend.”
Jonathon M.
“I've been doing the super-slow workout method for several years, and was excited to see this new studio open in a very convenient location. Abe and Austin are great, flexible, and very considerate of my individual goals. They truly make it feel like we're working together rather than being told what to do. It comes at a cost but in terms of results it's worth it for me. Highly recommend you try an initial session and see if it works for you.”
Gen B.
“I have been working with Abe for over 2 months and love it. He is incredibly knowledgeable and easy to work with, cues me throughout the workout, keeping me focused and validating my form. He takes time to explain the data captured by the adaptive machines which are super safe since they adapt and respond to the force you exert. You will both feel and see results — my coworkers have started calling me 'the buff lady.' Highly recommend.”
Mark V.
“I was skeptical at first that working out once or twice a week for 20 min could do much. I've had six sessions now and by Session 3 or 4 I was sold. You can literally see your progress, which is tracked by the ARX machines. I've increased in strength and endurance quite a bit. I feel stronger, more sturdy, with improved posture and I can see muscle gain in my arms and chest. I've worked out with Abe, Patrick, and Austin, and all are great.”
Irene C.
“EverStrongSF is my new way of staying in shape, along with my yoga and walking schedule. After experiencing this training I find that I am stronger without a lot of muscle buildup. It also fits with my busy schedule. I would recommend EverStrongSF to anyone interested in building strength, stamina, firming and fat burning — and it takes less than 30 minutes a week.”
Jack S.
“Very cool and unique setup. I was looking for somewhere in San Francisco with the ARX machines, having read about them from Dave Asprey. This seems to be the only place in San Francisco with this state of the art equipment.”
Lucy A.
“Great team and great space. Small but efficient and diverse fitness machines paired with one-on-one coaching and science-based strategies. The trainers focus on finding the right strategy for your body and fitness goals and needs. Highly recommend.”
