Daniel Farrier Personal Training

Dan is the man and the gang! I met this group on meet up, and they are so awesome. I felt very welcomed when i first joined in, so get your toosh started. («_​,) Started running with them last year, they are so strong, that means I am motivated to be like them one day. :) Dan is there to help, push you and motivate you. The gang are just awesome people. I love them already. Dan makes our run fun and hard at the same time. I highly recommend this dude. Thanks for being consistent, Dan! Not everyone are like that. I always look forward to our weekend runs.
Check out San Ramon Mud Run and Endurance Cross — Training Group on meet up! My friends love it. The fact that he switches location once in a while, makes it more fun for us living in this side of the hood. LoL just sayin! Can’t wait to run by Briones. (Just sayin-​lol) I am hoping to conquer that rope climbing during spartan race. Did I mention Spartan Race, yes, we love those stuff! Make it your goal this year! Come train with Dan and the gang!

There are not enough words to describe how amazing and knowledgeable Dan is!
I started out training in his group cross training sessions in February 2013 then decided to add personal training sessions in June 2013 to get quicker results, which was exactly what I got! So far, I have lost 15 pounds, dropping 5% body fat and gaining 3% muscle! Running 1 mile used to be very intimidating, but now it is a warm-​up and can be done in the 7 minute range. I am now preparing for the Tough Mudder with The HAWC Gym Muddy Spartans team, which was unimaginable a few months ago.
Dan is always so motivating and encouraging. He understands my limits and knows exactly how much to push me and to challenge me. There are a range of fitness levels in our group classes and he always accommodates to each level! He is very approachable and willing to patiently explain anything that isn’t understood.
Training with Dan has been life changing and I couldn’t have picked a better trainer to work with! He creates such a positive environment in his gym and I ALWAYS look forward his training sessions! Having worked with multiple trainers in a handful of other gyms in the past, no one else can compare to Dan and all he has to offer!

All I can say about Dan is he is the best!
His knowledge goes beyond the normal trainer, I have had a few before, but he truly understands and knows what he is talking about. He is more than willing to help you achieve the goals you have for yourself but will also push you to go a little bit further. He has a wide variety of exercises and knowledge of supplements and products that can help assist you.
If you want to get back in shape, loose wight, get healthier, tone up, train for a marathon, get back in the gym, or specialized training check him out this is your go to man.
Also his group classes are a lot of fun. They never get boring and he makes exercising fun! Plus the dynamic of a group also helped me push further

Still the greatest! He is my favorite training ever. Make Dan part of New Years Resolution — you won’t regret it!

Dan Farrier was my trainer in San Francisco since earlier this summer 2012 until he moved to the East Bay the last few months. I can’t help but endorse him as my former trainer because Dan is The Man who will whip you into shape. I should know because when I moved to SF from Florida, I became a foodie and eating was going out of control. I had to do something about it and searched on line for a personal trainer, in which Body Mechanix received a lot of great reviews.
I trained with Dan at the Embarcadero location. Parking was almost always there except during Giants game days. The other trainers and staff were very kind and always said hello when I walked in. They have an excellent array of equipment and the necessary tools to lose weight, gain muscle, and excel in one’s own fitness level to the next phase.
Dan always mixed things up with me with each of my sessions. There was never a dull moment and he always kept my heart rate pumping beyond levels I would never do on my own. He consistently kept my workouts fresh and he always tested me to my full potential when I didn’t believe in myself. My constant cries in «I can’t, I can’t» would turn into «Yes, I can. Yes, I can.» If you have any physical limitations, Dan can also work around it and still provide a balance of exercises and regimen that is most comfortable with you. He has vast knowledge in fitness and the body itself and can help you with fulfilling your goals in endurance and weight loss or whatever your goals entail. He can also help you with your nutritional goals as well.
All in all, Dan was great to work with and always kept a positive outlook. His high level of energy and enthusiasm translated into ensuring I kept with my goals. He will PUSH you to your limits, but again, only at a level you would be comfortable with. I mean, who wants a stale workout, right? My only negative here is that he moved to the East Bay, which is out of my range I would travel, otherwise, I’d continue my sessions with him to this day.
I highly recommend Dan Farrier as your next personal trainer. I lost weight, gained muscle and confidence that I never had before since this was my first time with a trainer. Every dime was worth it and I have no regrets whatsoever. I mean, damn, who has less than 8% body fat — I guess Dan does and he can help you get there!

I am so happy that Dan is now running Body Mechanix! I love the group classes. Dan mixes things up so it is never boring and you get a great all over work out. The class times can work aroung anyone’s schedule and the price is right. I really notice a change in my strength and endurance. Dan has such an upbeat and postive attitude, it makes coming to class easy. :)

I’ve been training with Daniel for several months now and I cannot say enough good things about his program or the results he delivers. I am an avid runner and cyclist but was looking to compliment my workouts with a trainer to build strength, endurance, and flexibility. I’ve tried CrossFit classes and other programs but did not believe I was getting enough attention or focus to deliver the results I wanted.
Dan will work with you to understand your goals: weight loss, strength, endurance, etc. and then tailor a program for you. Each workout is different so you are never bored. He constantly rotates exercises or creates new ones to keep you challenged. I have been focusing on endurance and during our workouts I wear a heart rate monitor so Dan can track my heart rate /​effort and then dynamically adjust the exercise to keep my heart rate up. He understands the science and method behind the different exercises as well as the value of a balanced exercise and diet regimen.
Most importantly, Dan is a great personality to be around. He’s positive and energetic and is able to push you harder to get the most out of your workouts while still being supportive. I look forward to my sessions and plan on continuing them. I would recommend Dan to anyone looking for a personal trainer.

What a great trainer! I’ve had two sessions with him, and I can easily see that this is going to be a great long term program for me. I feel very comfortable with his personality and he knows very well how to push me further than I thought I was capable. His military training is perfect for this purpose.
Dan is up on all of the latest health concepts and will help you get from theory to practice. It is amazing what he knows about diet and exercise. I thought I was knowledgeable but now I am working with a master.
The initial sessions were well thought out and thorough. There was a whole questionnaire getting him up to speed on your current knowledge and exercise/​eating habits, so that he could then design a program tailored to your goals on your schedule. His gym is in SOMA, but he regularly does workouts outside where it is more convenient for you.
I am a long distance runner, but was looking for cross training to assist me with my goals. As well, the kind of full body strength training Dan provides enhance the weight loss and muscle building that you max out on running. As well I am seeing where I can take this training to another level and prepare for other kinds of events like the Tough Mudder.
I’ll give an update later after more sessions, but I see only good things to come.
