Body Mechanix Fitness

Fantastic experience: If you need a push and encouragement… this is the place! And Alex is the guy!… and how many other gyms have a perfect score?… There is a reason!… go there, and be delighted with their efforts, and your commitment… I lost 14 lbs in two months; but more important; my 68 yr old body feels 20 years younger!

Fantastic experience: Training sessions with Marlon have been perfect so far! He was able to figure out where I'm at and what I needed on day 1. Facility is in pristine condition- super friendly staff. Variety of equipment and activities - can never remain stagnant. Highly recommend this gym and training sessions.

Fantastic experience: Killer workout. In and out of the gym in 30 minutes. Gotta do the elite sessions.

Fantastic experience: I joined this gym one year ago and it was the best decision of my life. The staff is very welcoming and encouraging. They have all the latest equipment, great HIIT circuits and the best music.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. My body responded very well immediately. Thanks a lot Mr. David Davis

Fantastic experience: Great group classes and even better trainer's ???? ???? ????

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have been going to Body Mechanix for a few years and always enjoy coming- great workout and motivating environment! The team at BM is strong, knowledgeable, thoughtful and always interested in helping you achieve your goals, whatever they may be.

Fantastic experience: Just had my First training at 5am with them since it helps me get to workout and not hinder my work. The trainers and the people there are very nice and helpful! Doesn’t matter where you are physically they help you no matter what and truly care about getting you to be healthy and proud of the body you are in. I highly recommend them. No better gym and people to workout with.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Body Mechanix is great! Personal training (my first time) has exceeded my expectations and I can't express how much I enjoy it. I had some niggling issues I wanted to work on have have gotten good results so far! Staff is good, friendly and helpful. I plan on expanding what I do there!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I successfully accomplished weight loss goals with the help of Body Mechanix Fitness CV. I was new to the gym experience and the staff helped me transition with ease. Really good programs and excellent support from staff. Clean Facility. Positive environment. Covid compliant.

Fantastic experience: I had been working with Marlon since 2004, and this is my experience with him and Body Mechanix. I had an autologous bone marrow transplant in 2011 with a life expectancy after the transplant of 5 years, and a prediction of a possible leukemia as a second cancer due to the tremendous amount of chemotherapy and aggressive treatment. Exercising has been one of the principal keys in my full recovery, to prolong my life expectancy, and have a better quality of life. Nowadays, I am out of pain medication and asthma medication. I do not have words to express my gratitude as Marlon dedication help me to get thru cancer treatment, have a full recovery, and I am happy to say that in February 1, 2021 I celebrated my 10th re-birthday. Marlon was my coach before, during and after the cancer diagnosis. Even though I relocated from California to Puerto Rico, we still working together with the online program. Yes, I am happy to say that he works with me remote now, and the results still amazing. For those of you who feel afraid of Covid19, this online program is a great tool.

Fantastic experience: I had the best deep tissue massage therapy session ever. Mistie (massage therapist) is fantastic! I was able to walk without limping or pain for the first time in over a year after my session. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Best thing I ever did for myself was join this community gym! Working out before was always a drag for me and during the pandemic I rarely took care of my body. I decided to take a workout class at Body Mechanix in CV and the trainer Robert put us through a great workout and gave me lots of exercises to help with my plantar fasciitis (which is significantly better now). I’ve enjoyed taking classes with all of the trainers they have (Joe, Margaret, and Awa to name a few are awesome), each one is a little different and you’re sure to find someone you love. The workouts are challenging but fun, and fit for any fitness level. The past three months I’ve been doing small group training with Marlon and he is the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time)!! I used to look forward to the weekend and now I look forward to my workouts with him. Thanks to his nutrition advice eating healthy has never been easier for me and I don’t crave all the junk food I used to have so often because fueling my body right feels so goooood! There’s a big difference between going to Body Mechanix and your average gym. Here you’re part of a great community the day you join and everyone supports you through every workout. Investing in my health during this time has been so rewarding and it’s gotten ridden of my “pandemic blues”. They’re also very covid safe with group classes being socially distanced, outside, and all the equipment is disinfected after each person uses it!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Best gym. They help you reach your goals. Very friendly staff!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I have great respect for my trainer Margaret Sohm. She is able to adjust to my needs as a client and has the innate ability to challenge me to be better. It’s evident that she loves her job & is very professional at what she does. The gym in itself is fully equipped, clean & organized.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality If you want a quality workout with friendly people and great instructors, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Probably the best gym experience throughout my lifetime. All the staff are hospitable and kind. The gym culture here is non-intimidating, genuine, and warm. The people here want and love to be here. I’m willing to drive to come to this gym because I’m inspired by the members and trainers.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been visiting this BodyMechanix site since well before the pandemic, and have always found the site, equipment, and staff to be excellent. They have group classes and personal training that can suit a great many experience levels, and can adeptly work around injuries or many other other physical challenges with you. I’ve been able to continue a personal training regimen over Zoom calls since the COVID shelter-in-place order, and even with only a small dumbbell set at home I sill get a great workout. It’s pretty flexible and works around my work schedule. I believe they’ve even started doing some on-site classes outdoors in their parking lot, though I’m not entirely and haven’t looked into participating in any of those. In any event, I highly recommend calling them up for a consultation.

Fantastic experience: Awesome gym that will help you achieve your fitness goals in a very fun and engaging way! Shoutout to Marlon Gomez, the owner, for taking such good care of my family over the years.

Fantastic experience: I’ve loved training at Body Mechanix with Marlon and everyone else who staffs and attends this gym. When we began to quarantine I figured I’d be without my trainer for a while, but Marlon was able to deliver the same quality workouts over zoom as I get in person. We did not skip a beat and I was able to continue on my fitness journey even though I was not at the gym. It’s been amazing and I honestly cannot recommend these guys enough. I’m in much better shape and my body is much more functional, after training with them for only about half a year!

Fantastic experience: My friend recommended trainer David after I expressed to her I wanted to get back into shape. My husband and I went in for a trial run. David’s personality was a fit for my husband and I. We signed up for the couples training. Which I thought we would be doing the same workouts, which we are but David will modify it to fit us each individually. He is also a great motivator, when I feel like giving up he will encourage me to push a little harder and that I got this. The facility is small. The staff we have met are super friendly and also encouraging. Great atmosphere and I highly recommend to check out.

Fantastic experience: The entire team is awesome, super knowledgable and very supportive. I've never experienced a gym like this!

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix is Amazing! I have been a member for almost 4 years. They hold you accountable. They care about your health and well being. It’s like a family atmosphere and they make the workouts fun. Anyone who is interested in some next level workouts and some results and being pushed to your limits come check them out! You won’t be disappointed.They have some Great trainers who are all professional and knowledgeable. I train W/ Robert Gomez and he is the Bomb! Everyone there is the Bomb! Robert,Marlon,Joe,David,Margaret,John,Awa,Eileen, and Devin and Junior...#BodyMechanix #Castrovalley #GusmanFamily

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix is an awesome gym to be a part of. Each and every trainer is about what they preach. I personally attended the 5am classes with Joe which were a great start to my day and fit best with my schedule. I have personally worked with Marlon, Joe and Jamie, but I would totally recommend any trainer associated with the gym. This is a fun, upbeat environment and you are surrounded by many people looking-out for your best interest. I highly enjoyed the proper technique shown and taught, because I felt that I was learning while working out and not just obeying commands. Great place! Great people!

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix is awesome! All of the trainers are great...Marlon in particular is inspiring and always makes the workout a blast! I have noticed major changes in my body since becoming a member 6 months ago. I don't have a lot of time being a mom of 2 and this gym maximizes the couple of hours I have for me time a week I am always challenged and I am never disappointed :)

Fantastic experience: Great experience working out at Body Mechanix. The trainers know what to do to get your body right! The workouts are designed to obtain your goals and are varied. I have reached my goals and I continue to come back because I feel great and look great!

Fantastic experience: Long over due but I (liezel) was trained by Jaimie Dorris. Gahhh SHE IS AN AMAZING PHYSICAL TRAINER!!!! I was in search of having my first ever physical trainer and after i met up with her. All the others couldnt compare to her skills. I can tell she is passionate about what she does. She is very detailed and is a stickler for good form. I love how she showed me what to do, told me where i should be feeling it, and let me know when i wasnt doing it correctly to save me from injuries. She is also very knowledgeable on nutrition. She challenges me but does not pressure me to do anything i was uncomfortable with. She asked questions to really make the training personal to my body type. I highly recommend her!!! ON another note, the whole staff is super welcoming and gives such positive vibes!!

Fantastic experience: I came across Body Mechanix after buying a friend and I a trial offer for 30 days back in May 2012. Marlon and the "gang" has added so much to my life. Each trainer has their personal gifts to share with us too help us with our fitness goals. Taking diet health and exercise to a whole nother level. So since then I've lost 25 pounds, maintained a healthier way of life, I was able to get off my BP medications and more importantly developed amazing friendships of trust and care..

Fantastic experience: I love Body Mechanix Castro Valley! Marlon has an amazing team of trainers who actually take the time to stay current on fitness research and techniques. They are all about keeping you healthy and feeling good about yourself. No shame in this gym and all fitness levels are truly welcome! If you are an elite athlete, they know how to help you stay injury free. If you have never set foot in a gym and can hardly make it up a flight of stairs, they help you transform without judgement or injury! Best thing, the trainers and all the people who go to the gym are the nicest people you will ever meet. I've been going for more than 5 years and I will never give it up. Best money I have ever invested!

Fantastic experience: I'm so happy that I randomly walked into this place one day, it is the best gym I've ever attended. I've learned so much here, all the trainers have so much knowledge and are so nice! You won't be disappointed if you join :)

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this gym for the last 3 years or so. I had tried going to other gyms before like 24 hour fitness, but I always felt like I was one of the robots and in a constient state of anxiety; I also had no clue how to use anything. When I first started going to Body Mechanix I had high blood pressure, endless back/knee pain and was a vary self-conscious and shy person. Marlon and his team of trainners are vary welcoming and excepting of everyone that comes through their doors. Something that I needed to start down this path of recovery. I wont sit here and say that the path is easy. You will have to fight to find time and fight to stay commited, but they will be there every step of the way watching your back. This place is not simply a gym, it is a community; One that is filled with good people that support one another. I was one of the first people to step into this gym when it first opened at this location, and over the years have watched it grow into a community of great people. This place has not only improved me physically but mentally as well. Stepping through those doors was the beginning of a new life for me; One that would not have been possible without this place. Whether you just want to have a fun place to go for working out or you need help changing course in life for the better...this is the place to be. I hope to see you there.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been going to this gym for about 8 months now and love it. We do a combination of personal training and classes and have nothing but great things to say about the trainers. Joe does a killer 5am workout class (which I highly recommend if you can wake up that early) and Magaret and Marlon do the evening classes which are also great. The classes are fun and they are always mixing it up. We recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: Been going to Body Mechanix for 2 years now! I've lost 20 pounds and feel better then ever! I love the small group environment. They push you hard and hold you accountable. I also train with Robert Gomez there who is a personal trainer and he is amazing. Everyone there is amazing! They help you not only with getting fit but give you advice on nutrition and how to preserve your body a prevent injury! Thank you Marlon, Margaret,Joe,Rob,Eileen, John and Roy for all your dedication and persistence to get us all fit, happy and healthy!

Fantastic experience: Castro Valley Body Mechanix is one of my favorite places to go. Great people and great workouts.

Fantastic experience: The trainers here are great! Before I came here a few months ago, I had never exercised on purpose before in my life. Now I do personal training here with Roy, as well as conditioning classes with the other trainers. The classes have a very diverse range of skill levels but the instructors are very good at making sure everyone is excelling. In class, the instructors are encouraging and attentive. They don't leave anybody behind for having trouble with the exercises and they always seem to notice when you get something down. One-on-one, my trainer Roy has been very, very helpful. I had to learn a lot of fundamentals (you can bend over at the hip instead of the back?!) and he's very good at teaching while encouraging, no matter how basic something is. I feel like I've come a long way in a few short months thanks to Roy and the rest of the gang. No matter what level you're at, you'll have a great time here and you'll definitely see results. If you're ready to make a change, come on down. You won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: Love this place! The coaches are excellent, always ensuring proper technique & safety. Marlon & Margaret are the best. Marlon always pushes us to a higher level of fitness. I highly recommend this gym!

Fantastic experience: Great local gym. Very accessible trainers, varied workouts, and strong community environment. You will actually like going to the gym

Fantastic experience: I did at consultation with Joseph and he was thorough. He asked me a lot of question and was able to customize a workout to my needs and issues. He noticed things that I was going to physical therapy without me telling him. The level of training he brings is worth the price!

Fantastic experience: Love coming to Body Mechanix in Castro Valley! I was looking for a facility near me with experienced trainers and this place did not dissappoint. I've worked with Robert Gomez for almost 6 months and have had great results. I came in with back issues and some lofty fitness goals. Robert has mad skills in identifying correct form and function, and can develop really effective workout routines to correct issues and strengthen the body appropriately. My workouts are never boring and I look forward to my sessions (even though I might complain during them!). One of the best decisions I've made was signing up with Robert.

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix has been life changing for me! The trainers are absolutely amazing and do an phenomenal job of training you properly while also pushing you to get better. They also keep it fresh and exciting with different exercises every time I am in there. I've always been the type of person who thought I could workout on my own and get stronger, but I can say with Body Mechanix I have taken my strength and conditioning to a whole new level. If you are in the market for a gym/trainer I would highly recommend stopping by Body Mechanix and talking with anyone there. They are extremely helpful and friendly! Keep up the great work Body Mechanix!

Fantastic experience: I have known Marlon for over 10 years. I followed him from 24 Fitness to Body Mechanix. I love his energy, positive attitude, and his extensive personal fitness knowledge. Marlon's fitness training style is fun-loving and challenging. He will personalize the exercise plan depending on one's fitness level. The workouts are always fresh and keeps you wanting more. Marlon's passion for fitness doesn't end after the workout. At the end of each class, we have a huddle session. He would share helpful information such as the purpose of the workouts to the importance of lifestyle changes. I always leave the gym content knowing that I did something good for me. If you're ready to make a healthy change, I suggest giving Marlon a call or stop by and ask for him by name at Body Mechanix located in Castro Valley.

Fantastic experience: Bodymechnix is a great place to workout and meet new people. Great atmosphere and trainers. Marlyn, Joe, John, Jamie , Roy and Margaret. They all now understand what there teaching you.

Fantastic experience: I've been a member at many gyms, but this one definitely takes the cake! Everyone is so friendly, and always has your best interests in mind. Rarely do you find a place where you feel comfortable, motivated, and genuinely cared about by the people on staff. Body mechanix is a place where everyone knows your name, and always great you with a smile, fist bump, or "wassssssssup!" The trainers are always willing to help you work on your goals, and regularly check on your progress so they can make modifications for you. I am so proud to be part of the body mechanix community in CV!

Fantastic experience: This place may look small, but this facility is fully equipped with clean and modern equipment. Sessions are scheduled so that it never feels like you're competing with a ton of other people for space. My trainer, Marlon, is hands-down the most knowledgeable personal trainer I've ever met. He's worked with me extensively to rehabilitate numerous injuries sustained during my active duty military career. I cannot recommend him enough.

Fantastic experience: The energetic group environment always leads to a fun workout and a massage from Mistie is the perfect way to relieve the tension the next day. She massaged me after a gnarly skating accident and rid my muscles of the pain. Body Mechanix has result driven personal trainers working hard to increase their clients' strength and meet any other specific goals. The supportive nature of this gym facilitates exercising and truly promotes healthy lifestyles.

Fantastic experience: Waking up for a 7am session every Saturday isn't so bad here. Maragret is an awesome trainer as are the rest of them. Everyone is friendly, the place is clean, and it makes the whole experience fun. Come check them out!

Fantastic experience: I have become obsessed with the group classes here. Compared to crossfit and Orange Theory the classes they offer are somewhere in between. You can always adjust the weights so it's really up to you rather you want more strength training or conditioning. All the trainers here are great and they will make sure you are lifting the right way so you don't hurt yourself. I saw dramatic results after the first 2 months and has been coming here for almost 9 months now. So glad I found this gym!

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix at Castro Valley is a great little spot with a great family... and it is a family. No matter whose client you are or which class you take, everyone knows your name. The environment is friendly and encouraging, and everyone there is committed to helping you become your healthiest self. Having been a personal trainer in the past, I can say the trainers here really know their stuff and work to make every client's experience personal and worthwhile. I've been a member for almost 2 years, and have watched it grow and flourish. There's a running joke that if you hang out there long enough, you end up working there - and apparently it's true, as I'll be starting as the on-site chiropractor at BM Castro Valley next month, and I couldn't ask for a better team to work with.

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix in Castro Valley is great! It has the best trainers that truly care about their clients and are very passionate about what they do. The trainers are always there, on time, and with so much positivity that it's an actual joy to come into the gym...sometimes more than once a day!

Fantastic experience: I originally came to Body Mechanix for rehabilitation from an old knee injury but it turned into so much more. Not only did my knee pains go away with the precise diagnosed solutions but a new lifestyle was created. The encouragement and motivation I continue to receive is exactly what was needed for me to stay on this tuff path to a healthy lifestyle I desire. I highly recommend Marlon and his entire team to anyone in need of pain relief, weight loss, motivation or all of the above like me.

Fantastic experience: Body Mechanix has helped me lose weight and inches and gain more self confidence. Marlons knowledge of eating the right foods has allowed me to stay on track ... well most of the time! It's almost as if I have his voice with me all day guiding me to make better choices in my life. Marlon helped make working out more fun and that's saying a lot for me because I do not like exercising!!! I know every time I walk in the door of Body Mechanix that I'm going to have an awesome workout & a great time doing it! I'd like to Thank Marlon for all his support .... he's an awesome personal trainer and I highly recommend Marlon & all of the personal trainers at Body Mechanix to everyone. All the best, Vicki Valenzuela
