Castro Valley Fitness

Fantastic experience: Mitch and his team are dedicated to helping your reach your fitness and health goals (and helping you figure them out if you're not sure). They keep up with current information and techniques, and are the most supportive, compassionate, and realistic trainers I've worked with. (Plus, I'm thrilled not to have top 40 blaring while I work out, as it was at the other gyms I belonged to.)

Fantastic experience: I've been training 2 days a week at Castro Valley Fitness for just a few months, and I knew I was getting stronger in the gym but the improvements I'm seeing in real life are even more meaningful. Last week I took my daughter to the beach where she stepped on a piece of broken glass and got a cut on the bottom of her foot. I was able to lift her and give her a piggyback ride to the life guard tower a ways down the beach so they could clean and bandage the cut. Before I started working out I don't think I could have done this without hurting my back. I feel really proud of my commitment to my health and fitness and grateful to Mitch, Diane and Kyle for guiding and encouraging me on this journey.

Positive experience: Mitch definitely got me stronger and introduced me to weight training which I knew nothing about and although I am not currently a client I would recommend his services!

Fantastic experience: Are you looking for a great trainer? Mitch Rothbardt is the best trainer I’ve ever worked with. Here are some highlights: • Mitch creates custom workouts to help you reach your personal goals: get stronger, leaner, recover from an injury, slim down for a big event, etc. I’ve lost weight, added muscle and gained a lot of confidence by training with him. • Mitch’s rates are affordable. He also offers a wide variety of training times and a 6am bootcamp. His training can fit into any budget or busy schedule. • Mitch offers 1:1 training and semi-private training. I train semi-private with 3 other people per session but I have my own workout program. The gym is social and people are friendly. • Mitch is a powerlifter which means he really knows how to lift correctly. He taught me (a woman) to deadlift, bench press and squat with correct form. For women doing these lifts, you won’t get bulky, you will get strong and lean! (You also do not have to do these lifts; he’ll create a workout based on your goals and preferences.) • Mitch is passionate about training. He’s motivating, positive and supportive. • Mitch won’t give you a workout that is too hard or not right for you. The workouts are challenging but you will leave the gym feeling great and full of energy. Training with Mitch is one of the best decisions I ever made. Give him a call and find out how he can help you!

Fantastic experience: Mitch is knowledgeable, highly skilled, no-nonsense and inspirational when it comes to health and fitness. He knows about nutrition, exercise, motivation and the stumbling blocks we each face on our journey to fitness. He knows how to accommodate all kinds of injuries to help you work on what you can, and strengthen the areas that are healing. I did both bootcamp and personal training and highly recommend him to anyone else looking to get healthier, stronger or both. And the community he builds within his client base is phenomenal. Talk about support - it's a wonderful group of folks to work with. Great to be in it together!

Fantastic experience: I was new to Castro Valley and looking for a particular type of workout - after visits to several gyms, I googled "fitness" and found Mitch. I called, he answered the phone and we met. It's been nearly 4 years - I've done both the bootcamp and small group personal training. They are both great. The sense of community and friendship among members is an added bonus! I was specifically looking for strength and balance and have found so much more!

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a great team to listen to you, become a part of an amazing fitness family, this is the place! Mitch Rothbardt the owner is the most compassionate trainer out there. He creates person programs for each client and keeps well eyes on the form performed by you. His additional trainers are Diane and Kyle who are both very mindful and supportive through your process. This training studio doesn't just offer Semi-Private training with personal sheets for each individual. Mitch Rothbardt Fitness also has nutrition Coaching as well as Boot Camp for those early raisers (6am Monday-Friday). Mitch and his Team are always continuing their education to give us the BEST!!!
