Perfect Fit Personal Training

Jasmine is an awesome trainer. She is super friendly, really knows what she is doing and gives you a kick-​ass work-​out! Perfect Fit is a place where you feel right at home and that customizes the training based on what you need. I have been training with Jasmine for the last 5 months and I am really satisfied. I highly recommend this place :) :)

I’ve been training with Jasmine for over 4 years and she continues to kick my butt every time. I always leave whipped and happy. Since this is a private gym it’s either just me or one other trainer & client working out so it’s super comfortable and never intimidating. I highly recommend this gym.

My first visit to Perfect Fit was this past Sunday and I walked out a happy woman! Luis was a fantastic massage therapist and truly knows his skill. Professional, kind, and did a great job!

If you want to feel good and look good, go to Darya. I’m her client since she worked at ModVellum (located nearby). I had European facial. She immediately makes you feel at ease and has a warm aura about her. After the treatment, I felt lighter and fresher. Totally an experience to treat yourself to.

I came here to get a facial from Darya a few weeks ago after a friend recommended her to me, and have been meaning to Unilocal ever since because it was seriously AMAZING!!! It was probably the best facial I’ve had in San Francisco, and I’ve had quite a few around the city.
First of all, Darya’s touch is amazing. Just the right amount of pressure and movements to make you feel relaxed. Her extractions hurt just a tiny bit, but I left with every single pore clean. Usually extractions are not thorough and I end up having to finish the job at home, but Darya did a great job.
Second, the products she uses are amazing. Not too harsh on my skin, but definitely potent enough to feel like it was doing anything. Darya also gave me great tips on how to maintain my skin at home with more professional grade products.
I left Perfect Fit with glowing skin, and weeks later, I can still tell how fantastic the facial was. I will definitely be back to see Darya, and I highly recommend her if you are looking for great skin.

I’ve been working with Jasmine and Veronica now for 6 months on a training, rehab, nutrition, massage and stretching program. I have arthritis in both knees and was woefully out of shape (too many years of neglect). I was using a cane when I started. I’m down 44 lbs (about halfway towards goal) and haven’t used the cane since late August. These two wonderful and skilled gals will not be able to defy science and make the arthritis go away… but they have certainly turned the direction of my body’s health 180 degrees in very short order!
I interviewed and worked with a few trainers when deciding to go with Jasmine and Veronica on this and I couldn’t be more pleased. For me… I like that she’s a person with a life and somewhat outgoing about it. I find that «real» and frankly makes it safer for me to be «real». Perfect FIt does not have soaring ceilings and mulit-​million $$ equipment… but again… that makes it more real, comfortable and safe for me.
If you want flash, fancy real estate and stoic trainers… this is not your place. If you want human beings with warmth, understanding and skills… try the little place on the alley. That’s my two-​cents (and my first Unilocal review).

I found out about this spa though Bloomspot and I am so glad I did!
Darya took excellent care of me. I came in for a brazilian and a facial. Both treatments were fantastic. She uses hard wax and it was the least painful wax I’ve ever had. The facial was heavenly… Enough said. And, my skin looked amazing for weeks and I’ve gotten so many compliments.
This is my new go-​to spot and I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

When Darya left Modvellum, I followed suit. No sense of going to a facial place when your aesthetician ain’t there anymore right?
So, here’s the deal. The space here? it’s TINY. They make use of their space well, considering the size, but I’m not going for the complete «spa» experience here, I’m here to get my skin needs attended to. I need regular maintenance to keep my face looking clean and prevent pores from clogging (all those nights filled with greasy food and alcohol eventually shows up somewhere!)
I trust Darya with my skin and as someone who’s gotten facials since her teen years (oh so long ago) she does facials very well, explaining the process and the products being used and is very knowledgeable on health and skin needs overall. I’ve never heard of Jean D’Arcell products until my facial here and I have to say it’s fabulous!
It’s the New Year, time to put your best face forward and Darya can help you with that.

My girlfriend and I came here because of a Bloomspot deal on massages.
The massage was okay, and didn’t really go into the trouble spots on my back I’d brought up before starting, so I was only minimally relaxed by the end of it. There were a lot of manipulations that were entirely unpleasant, causing me to tense up, creating the air of muscle tension, whereas it was really just me trying not to audibly scream.
The real kicker was when the face rest collapsed underneath me, requiring me to finish my massage with my lower lip jammed into the edge of the table.
Overall, Veronica was very friendly, and obviously knew what she was doing, but I can’t say I would be inclined to return for another massage.

After my complaining of the massage I received from Luis, my friend told me to check the Solar Planet reviews. I wish I read those reviews before I spent money here. I also left the massage wearing several ounces of lotion. The sheets were also damp with lotion.

Perfect Fit is the great place to workout. The owner/​trainer, Jasmine and the rest of the staff are very helpful in reaching your goals and are fun to work with. The gym is in great shape and has all the equipment you need. I am so happy I found Perfect Fit

I hate to give this place one star. I had a wonderful experience at the spa. My aesthetician was perfectly nice. They used hard wax, which was less painful. She was fairly quick, and even though she left a few stray hairs, I was fairly happy with my Brazilian.
However, when I got home, I was so uncomfortable. I’m not virgin to Brazilians, and get one every month, but I’d never felt this horrible sensation before. I checked, and sure enough, my skin was completely raw. I put Neosporin on it, which soothed the pain, and went to bed. I thought perhaps it was my sensitive skin reacting to the oil, and didn’t think much of it… until two days later, when my skin started peeling off! I’m not sure if its their products, but I sadly cannot recommend this place for waxing, especially any type of bikini waxing.

I was searching for a personal trainer for quite a while and couldn’t find someone I liked until I came across Perfect Fit on Google. I met with Jasmine the owner on a Saturday and she listened to what I was looking for and matched me up with herself although I had a different trainer in mind. In retrospect, I am so glad she did that as she is the perfect match for me.
I have back problems and lots of other minor injuries from not being active for so many years. Jasmine took me as a project and focused on strengthening my core so that I will slowly be able to do exercises I was unable to do for many years. The small intimate studio has just the right equipment for a good workout and I don’t feel like something is missing.
Jasmine is the reason I exercise and I can safely say that I wouldn’t be able to do this on my own.
She motivates me, listens and is available to me ²⁴⁄₇. I am now half way to my goal and am confident that I can do this. I believe in Jasmine and her method of training and you can definitely see significant results on my body over a short period of two months!
Thanks Jasmine!

I just saw a bloomspot coupon for this place come through my email and I remembered that I forgot to update my previous review.
Owner Jasmine wrote her comment to my Unilocal posting about wanting to compensate me for the unfortunate professional incidences. However, (1) if she was serious, she would have contacted me — she has my info, and (2) I reached out to her several times with no reply. I realize now she was not sincere– it was just for other Unilocalers to see.
Anyways, she has written that I never wrote to her and implied I’m being untruthful but I have all the email communications to prove it — and I’m happy to show it to anyone who emails me through Unilocal.The point of Unilocal is not to find opportunities to negotiate «post-​hoc’ with business owners but to recommend or warn fellow consumers. That is what this is — a warning coupled with a recommendation on how to better spend your money on personal training. At this point, I could care less about a refund and wouldn’t accept one anyways. It is clear that Jasmine is defensive (see her replies to my posts) and also manages her Unilocal account very carefully so as to negotiate public perception of her gym.
So that brings me here — 2 years later. In the past 2 years, I have had multiple training experiences with several trainers. Reflecting back, I can say this was still the worst experience with a personal trainer. It doesn’t matter where your trainer went to school or got their certifications. They are either good, or they’re not. They are either professional or they are unprofessional. Going to a good undergraduate university doesn’t make somebody talented or professional. (I’m not sure why this is even in her response to my post).
After a long search, I have found a trainer worthy of expense. Let’s face it — $ 60 – 90 is a lot of money to pay someone to motivate you to exercise. But if you’re paying that money who is truly talented and will teach you about the mechanics of your body, then it’s worth it.
If you want a knowledgeable, dedicated, professional trainer, check out Travis Owen. He is the head manager and also trainer at Crunch on Polk Street. He treats me with respect as a paying client. He is methodical and empirical in his approach.
It’s also nice to train inside what is commonly referred to as the «most beautiful opulent gym in the country» since it is in an old abandoned opera house/​theater. It’s dark and beautiful inside with a HUGE movie screen playing movies constantly. Lots of fun!

I work with Shannon Wong here and highly recommend her! I wrote a separate review for her, so you can read more here:

Have you ever looked at a scale and thought… «Oh man, how did I get here?» I have. And I know the answer too: being a mom with not enough time to chase kid and work high stress job. You eat what you can, when you can. You skip exercises to help with homework and play games with your kid. And then, one day, you look at the scale and say «shit.»
That is EXACTLY where I was. I mean, tipping the scales at almost 200 pounds (I’m 5’4″) Ouch! I couldn’t keep up with my kid which was heart breaking. So I decided to start running. Not sure if my knees have forgiven me yet but after doing my first 5K I got hooked. Yes, I walked more then I ran but I got out there. Then I decided to take the next step and look for a trainer to help me out.
I found perfect fit training. And really, for me it’s a perfect fit. I was so nervous about a «gym» like place because it’s as intimidating as all hell to see all those skinny ass people in perfect shape work out and feeling like a slob. Then I met Jasmine and she put me at ease. I asked, «Am I the most out of shape person you have ever met?» she said nope. There was no pressure to be perfect, she met me where I was working around injuries that I had from a car accident a few years ago. My son sometimes would come with me and he would work out too. (He was 5 at the time)
She worked with my budget, knowing I was a single mom. She also listened to me bitch about my ex (when my son wasn’t there) because I had no one to confide in. We talked about my insane job and the stress it can cause. She taught me about eating right and gave me ideas that even my son LOVED.
What kind of shape have I gotten in? Well, in November I RAN TWO 5ks, TWO days apart without batting an eye. I got into great shape, my boyfriend really REALLY liked it and I would still be working out with Perfect Fit… if I weren’t pregnant. Yep, that’s how much he liked it.
I plan on getting right back to PFT as soon as this baby is born. See you in Sept.

I have been going to Perfect Fit for several years. The trainers there are friendly, professional, and goal oriented.
I enjoy getting there early and working out on the cardio machines while waiting for my appointment. Parking is convenient and it is located right in the middle of the Marina.

This place blows. I think they must have paid Unilocal to clean up their ratings, because there is no way that this place is five stars. I tried to book appointments with them, and after over three weeks, no results. Their customer service is atrocious. Maybe their trainers are great, but try to get in the door…
Epic fail Perfect Fit…

Perfect Fit is a great place to get fit. And the best way to get fit at Perfect Fit is with my trainer Natalie Gangemi (because she’s the best).
Perfect Fit offers an intimate setting, to be sure, but along with that comes a peace and a sense of family you can’t get at larger gyms. It’s also a great place to go if you’re not the most confident in your workout gear sweating in front of strangers, like I am. Parking is easy 99.9% of the time despite being in the Marina because of it’s off-​street location. It is lacking a shower but I’m very ready to go home after my sessions at Perfect Fit so it’s never been an issue to me.
Ready to go home because when I work out with Natalie I find myself digging deeper and pushing harder than ever before. Not because she’s some Drill Sergeant — in fact, she’s one of the most sweet, caring, likeable, down-​to-​earth, friendly people on the planet — but because she’s so invested in your success and in motivating you to get the most out of every moment that it’s infectious and you don’t want to disappoint her even more than you don’t want to disappoint yourself. That’s the deep, special rapport Natalie establishes with her clients; you know she’s always thinking about you and every angle of how she can help you reach your goal. And it inspires you to put that much more into it.
Natalie knows her stuff and really challenges me. The stronger I become the more she adds different dimensions to my workouts that continue to push me further and keep me interested and motivated. She loves what she does and she’s great at it… moreover, she makes you love it, too. Natalie goes above and beyond any trainer I have ever worked with in every capacity.
Go to Natalie at Perfect Fit and reach your goals. Find that something inside you didn’t know you had in addition to the body you always wanted. I feel like I won the lottery getting to have Natalie as my trainer so as long as you’re not looking to steal my slots, I think have an obligation to share the wealth.

Perfect Fit is a great place to work out with a Personal Trainer. It’s small intimate setting is conveniently located, but just off the main road so you don’t feel like you are working out in front of a bunch of people. The studio is equipped with all the functional training equipment you could possibly ask for making the workouts endlessly interesting and challenging.
The trainers are friendly & knowledgeable with diverse backgrounds and are sure to give you a great workout!
I highly recommend coming to Perfect Fit to find yourself a Personal Trainer!
