Workout Spot

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Tamar for several months and I’m thrilled with how much improvement I’ve seen in just a short time. I wanted someone experienced with older people and she’s shown a deep understanding of how to fix a (long) lifetime of accumulated stiffness and chronic injury. I’ve regained some strength and range of motion, and have more energy too. Plus she’s fun to work with. Thank you, Tamar!

Fantastic experience: Tamar is a great trainer. My wife and I have done couples workouts with Tamar for the last year. We both feel stronger and more energetic from before we started. She watches to correct our form, and offers alternative options when necessary. The workouts are always in different styles and different exercises which keeps it interesting. Cardio and stretching are always part of the routine as well. Tamar is also very knowledgeable about the body and can answer questions about why exercises are done a certain way, which I really appreciate. She's also flexible with scheduling, there's reserved parking spots, you can park your bike inside, and the location is so convenient.

Fantastic experience: I had my first workout with Workout Spot yesterday and I feel great. The pace matched my skill level and Tamar was able to target the muscles that need the most attention, just by watching me do a few exercises. I built strength while also increasing flexibility. I feel optimized!

Fantastic experience: A good place to exercise, I recommend them.

Fantastic experience: The knowledge of the trainers is what originally kept me coming back to the classes

Fantastic experience: Tamar is the best! I've been a client since The Workout Spot opened and can't say enough good things. Some trainers call it in, Tamar Brings It week after week. There's a variety of exercises, a great selection of eclectic music and fun conversation. A bunch of times I'd tell her some muscle feels a bit wonky and Tamar would work around it or with it. A great compliment to physiotherapy.

Fantastic experience: Tamar is caring, fun, and she runs you through great workouts! I love having this local spot to workout in. Everything is clean and the space is perfect for personal training

Fantastic experience: I could not be happier with my decision to sign up for personal training with Tamar. She cares about the people she trains... and I love when she encourages me during workouts by calling me "Athlete"! It makes me feel strong! I signed up for her 2x/week personal training and it's affordable and I'm loving finally doing personalized workouts with a trainer. Signing up for personal training, I knew that for my own mental health after two years of a pandemic, I didn't want to start stepping on a scale, or tracking calories, or measuring body fat. I didn't want to look at any numbers. I just wanted to move again... and ENJOY moving again. Tamar was all for it and she has totally supported me in what I need from our personal training sessions. (By the way, I totally understand that some people will want to talk about food and step on a scale, so keep in mind that Tamar is flexible in how she trains her clients.) Overall, it feels good to sweat, and move, and have fun while doing it! She always has good music playing, she makes me feel comfortable when I just need to be goofy at the gym and have a good time, and she agrees to my constant requests for dance breaks in the middle of our tough circuits! (She also lets me bring in my little dog to hang out while I'm working out... dog-friendly gym, for the win!!!) Thank you, Tamar & Workout Spot, for getting me moving again and getting me excited to go to the gym!!!

Fantastic experience: Tamar is the one who will inspire you and get you to move physically and mentally. Health isn't a fad. It's a lifestyle.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience - this is a fantastic little studio with an incredible trainer! Tamar, really creates a body-positive environment. The class has structure but remains flexible to really get the most out of the experience. I hope to attend more events in the future!

Fantastic experience: Tamar is part of MY team. She makes this transition from couch potatoe for 2 years to moving again fun and I look forward to every session. Her monthly package rates are affordable and I’m finding it very easy to commit to 6 weeks in. She really customizes my plan to where I’m at every day and what I enjoy doing.

Fantastic experience: Tamar is so wonderful! She is kind, patient, and knowledgeable. As a larger-bodied person, I found her body positivity refreshing and unusual for the fitness industry.

Fantastic experience: Tamar is one of the best in the industry. She cares so much about her clients and their results. A true fitness professional!

Fantastic experience: Best fitness coach in the world!

Fantastic experience: Quite a little gem of a place! Relaxing and clean environment would definitely visit again. Also the owner Tamar has a great welcoming and positive attitude to help you get started or continue your fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: 10/10, amazing! Tamar is the best. She made me feel heard & supported while also challenging me. I went in feeling disconnected from my body and after 2 months working 1:1 with her, I feel substantially more confident and capable. Tamar is open minded, playful, grounded and compassionate. I'm excited to work with her again in the future! :)

Fantastic experience: Great little workout spot ;) on Telegraph in Oakland. I love how I can do heavy lifting (I sometimes squat 200+lbs) with barre & water row all in one place. The owner Tamar is very friendly and knowledgeable, and is versatile when it comes to training: strength, stretching, yoga, etc and the classes are fun! The bathrooms are clean and have nice amenities, there's even parking! O.O During COVID19 I've also been checking out the online classes available, but looking forward to going back to the Spot! :)

Fantastic experience: Tamar is a great trainer with lots of enthusiasm. She knows the physiology of muscle groups; and can direct your program to address your individual needs. She also offers a 10% discount for seniors. Tamar will carefully work with you to help you excel with your training goals. I thought about training for years; she inspired me to actually do it. Doug

Fantastic experience: Great location in Oakland. Intimate gym that allows for great interactions with the others in group class. The owner is very personable and joins right into the activities. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: Personal touch to her training and good atmosphere. Great workout!

Fantastic experience: Tamar is amazing. Very comfortable place to workout! Love it!

Fantastic experience: Love the variety of workout options. Personal trainer, Tamar, is inspired and knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: Having worked as an instructor at the workout spot, I must say that Tamar’s super amazing. She was very supportive and made sure clients got the best experience.

Fantastic experience: Tamar has a uniquely artistic and holistic approach to fitness and training, possibly stemming from her additional backgrounds in dance and environmental studies. She just established the Telegraph Ave. studio, so almost all her equipment, flooring, mirrors and barre are new, giving a fresh, clean feel. Plus, she’s always positive, making a strenuous workout actually fun!

Fantastic experience: I've been doing yoga with Tamar for about 3 years and was so excited that she opened the Workout Spot. What I love about her and the space itself. 1) you instantly feel welcomed 2) no judgement - no drama - awesome vibe You won't ever feel out of place there. 3) I've never had a bad time working out. Time flies, it's a lot of fun and I feel so rejuvenated after 4) She REALLY cares about her clients and pays attention to detail so you won't make a wrong move. The space is small and intimate. So classes are great because you can see what's happening and you feel like you are getting a more customized experience. Tamar is a super awesome human being. She's bubbly, super fun and knows what she's doing. Definitely worth checking out!

Fantastic experience: Great work out ! Excellent trainer ! She actually makes sure the work out is fluid and intense at the same time !great benefits and excellent location .tell a friend !

Fantastic experience: You need a space to work out? This is the spot. Tamar really knows her stuff and will help you reach whatever fitness goals you are trying to reach.

Fantastic experience: This review is mostly for Tamar. I have been training with her off and on for 15 years. She was the one to get me into fitness and I will still go to her for questions. Her workouts are fun and man do they kick your bootie. I defiantly saw results! You can always count on her to be honest, shes not just saying anything to get you to sign with her. What you see is who she really is. Tamar is also hands down the best yoga instructor I have found. She is the perfect blending of energy and strengthening. I recommend all by friends to go to her!
