Jeffrey Yu Fitness

I have been working out with Jeffrey Yu for over a year and he is the BEST PERSONAL TRAINER I have ever had. I am a 60yo woman and have hired a good handful of personal trainers over the years. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jeffrey and here are 9 reasons why. 1. Jeffrey’s comprehensive in-​take appointment lasts over an hour. He reviews your past history, your body challenges, past injuries, and what your goals are. This in-​take session is a precise example of how Jeffrey trains: with research specific to his client, with a strong college degree to back-​up everything he does, and with an intense scrutiny of your lifting position, your posture, your dietary and health choices and your verbal feed-​back. Simply unheard of and amazing for a personal trainer. 2. Jeffrey spends a great deal of time preparing for each session. He researches exercises and specific movements for target areas based on what you both decide together. 3. Jeffrey is fastidious about proper body posture, correct form and body balance. This makes a huge difference in a proper work-​out. I am stronger than I have ever been and feel confident and strong. Last year I reversed osteoporosis to osteopenia (8oz of unsweetend almond milk & vit D a day along with the weight-​lifting). 4. Jeffrey asks for verbal feedback on every exercise and weight adjustment. Anytime I feel a minor tweek or slight pull I tell him and he modifys the exercise then and there. 5. I lost 5 pounds in three months and have no idea how. I just make my appointments and show up on time and ready to go. 6. Jeffrey’s packages are very reasonable. I go twice a week. What’s the point of having money and feeling unwell? 7. Jeffrey is a very positive, happy person and I love meeting with him. He lifts my spirits and encourages me to always do my best both in the gym and out. 8. Parking is easy on the side streets — free 2 hour parking. Or there are meters out front when I am I a rush. 9. That hour with Jeffrey is all about YOU! His focus is on you and your goals and how you feel in your body in the moment (and I do mean that I watch other personal trainers on their phones while their client is lifting). I almost want to keep Jeffrey my secret, but I love Unilocal and am happy to share him with you. Make an appointment and you will see that everything I mentioned above is spot-​on. Good luck!

I have been working with Jeffrey Yu for almost a year. I have worked with 4 other trainers in my life and Jeffrey is definitely a KEEPER! He is very client-​sensitive, patient, knowledgeable, and brilliant. He takes time to know my history and is schooled in kinesiology and nutrition. My friends and family see noticeable changes in my body and my energy level and balance and physical strength have improved dramatically over what it was last year because of my work with Jeffrey. If you are looking for a trainer I know you will be very happy if you choose Jeffrey Yu. Investing in your body and your health is a smart investment. I am glad I did!

Jeffrey Yu is an excellent trainer. I’ve been working with him for almost a year and have lost weight, gotten stronger, and am generally feeling much more fit. He is patient and takes the time to explain everything we’re doing, proper technique, etc. Jeff is high energy and always thinking during our workouts and makes adjustments as we go along. He’s responsive to all my questions between workouts and devised an exercise routine for me to do on my own that has been effective. I’m so glad I decided to work with Jeff and would recommend him to anyone looking to do personal training.

Over the years I developed a lot of unhealthy habits that I needed to eliminate (poor diet, weak muscles, joints with limited mobility). I finally decided to change my ways a few months ago and signed up for some sessions with Jeff. Not only did Jeff help tailor a workout plan that fits into my busy schedule, he also made sure I monitored my calories and kept me on track. What set Jeff apart from other trainers was that he stayed in constant communication via email and text between workouts. I appreciated his encouraging but not too pushy attitude. The facilities were clean and fit my needs. If you are looking for a trainer, I highly recommend Jeff.

After moving neighborhoods and losing our beloved gym, StudioMix, my husband and I struggled to find a new workout régime that was convenient and motivated us to get back into a healthy routine. Like several others, I found Jeff thanks to Unilocal and I’m so glad I did!
I really love Jeff’s approach: he’s goal-​oriented and keeps track of weight, reps and progress — so not only can you see your results in the mirror or waistline, but you can also see it on paper throughout your sessions with him. My goals were to focus on my gluts and arms in addition to becoming stronger overall, and I definitely noticed more definition and muscle in those areas — and quickly! That said, he also switches up your workout routine so you’re trying new things and working new muscles in addition to focusing on your goals.
He’s also super focused on technique and safety — he doesn’t push you to lift or do more until your form is truly perfected. And Jeff is also a great nutrition coach. He helped me create a meal plan and calorie and intake goals that matched our training as well as my overall activity to help me achieve maximum results.
Jeff and I have worked out for about a dozen sessions together and even though I’m now with a new trainer, I personally saw awesome results — I feel better, I’m much stronger and in turn look better ;) And my new trainer commented on what great shape I was already in when we started!
Jeff’s prices and packages are super competitive, he’s really fun and cheerful to work with and the gym is also located the far end of West Portal which means there is usual ample and easy parking! Basically, you have no excuses not to call Jeff!

I’m one who believes in the importance of using the services of a quality trainer to achieve fitness goals. I’ve had several experiences working with professional trainers, both with highly positive and not so great results. Jeff falls in the category of HIGHLY RECOMMENDED trainers because not only has he helped me feel good at working out again, he has exceeded my expectations because of the results.
I have been dealing with chronic tendinitis on my right knee and this had stopped me from getting back into doing workouts on my own and have made me very cautious at choosing a trainer willing to work with me on my injuries. Jeff has been awesome to work with at maximizing my training sessions without exacerbating my injury. We have both worked around strengthening my legs and upper body without worsening my pain.
In addition to our regular workouts, Jeff has also been great at providing me with a list of strengthening and mobility exercises that I can follow on my own. He also is very diligent at helping me monitor my daily nutrition, helping me lose over 10 lbs in about two months of regular training sessions. So far, I’m very very happy of my progress and my decision to have chosen Jeff as my trainer.
If you or anyone you know is looking to get back into fitness with the help of a professional, again, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jeff to be the one to help you through the journey.

Jefferey is young but he is an amazing trainer. I started training with him about 1 month ago, I am impressed with his energy and dedication. He is persistent with maintaining good excise routine and diet, he is relentless when it comes to reminders, questions and education. I am already seeing results and I feel great! I look forward to continue working with him.

I found Jeffrey on Groupon and my initial plans were to gather as much information as possible in four sessions and then work on my own. Well things never quite work out as planned.
The four sessions flew by, and there was so much information and techniques that requires more than just four sessions.
Jeffrey definitely knows his profession! I have been seeing him now for over three months and I feel much better about my over all physical fitness. He will hold you accountable for your actions — and motivates and challenges you to improve your overall health by staying fit and sticking to your plan.

I found Jeffrey via Unilocal while searching for a personal trainer. I’ve trained with him for almost a month (6 sessions) and I’m more than satisfied with his service!
Before meeting Jeffrey, I had bare minimum/​basic knowledge of fitness/​nutrition. I was a cardio bunny that dilly-​dallied around in the gym. Worked out my legs here and there. I basically had no idea what I was doing. Never knew the importance of calorie tracking (thank you MyFitnessPal).
Jeffrey has been extremely diligent about keeping me on track, addressing my concerns, and keeping me in the loop about «fitness knowledge». He’s very patient and gives me great pointers. Most importantly, he understands my goals/​priorities and does his best to help me reach them. Not to mention, his inviting/​fun personality is a big bonus! It would suck to train with someone boring for 2 hours a week.
I’m 6 sessions in and I feel like I’ve learned so much about myself, mentally and physically. All thanks to Jeffrey.
I’m grateful for having an awesome personal trainer.
Thank you! Your service has been spectacular!

I’ve been working out with Jeff for a couple of months now. Jeff has been great in helping me overcome a (slow) recovery from a knee injury. Easing in to strength-​training was easier than I thought, with his help. Jeff is careful to protect the injured knee, while working to strengthen it at the same time. He is great at adding variety to my workout, tracking my progress and keeping me motivated. He is very knowledgable, friendly, approachable, on-​time and easy to train with. I feel so lucky to have his help!

I feel completely lucky to have found Jeffrey Yu Fitness on Groupon about 3 months ago. I have been working with Jeffrey since and my entire energy has shifted for the better. After two years of neglecting my physical health (thanks Job!), I decided to make a commitment to improving my health by getting back in shape.
I have a 24-​hour gym membership, but whenever I went to the gym I just did abs and biceps without any real direction. I didn’t see myself ever hiring a personal trainer, but now that I am I realize it’s an incredible service… and worth every penny.
Jeffrey and I have been working on core strengthening, cardiovascular exercises, and overall improvements in my movement/​form. I feel stronger than ever. I’m an active 34-​year old softball and tennis player. I can already tell my performance is getting elevated as a result of core strengthening with Jeffrey.
I highly recommend Jeffrey for anyone looking for a top-​notch, honest, and hard-​working personal trainer. Jeffrey really cares for my improvement and does as much as he can to guide me along the path. He’s very knowledgeable about exercising, movement, and dieting. It’s totally enjoyable just chatting with Jeffrey about anything during the session.
If you’re even considering it, go forward! You will not regret meeting Jeffrey.

I’ve been training with Jeffrey for over half a year now. I find him to be very patient, knowledgeable, genuine, and motivating.
When I first started, I only trained with Jeffrey once a week. He told me training just once a week was not enough, and provided me some YouTube videos so I can train at home. In addition, he asked me to use Mobile apps to count calories. I lost 8 pounds in four months.
Now I train with him twice a week, not because he asked me to but because I want to. I feel healthier and my body is a bit more toned, but I know there still a long way to go.
Fitness/​working out takes commitment, having a trainer like Jeffrey helps to keep me engaged, motivated, and do things right.

I found Jeffrey through groupon and started working with him as my personal trainer and it’s been great! I can say that he is very knowledgeable in his field and provides insightful advice on how I can reach my goals. He gives feedback until I can perform an exercise correctly before moving onto the next exercise. He took time into putting together a workout plan for me.
He does not let me leave his session if I still have any unanswered questions. He is available through text messaging for feedback on my diet or any questions that I have and he is very responsive.
After meeting with him, I’ve made lifestyle adjustments that weren’t apparent before and I highly recommend him!!!
