I’m a believer. No, not a Belieber, that’s my daughter. I’m a believer in the approach that Amy & Nic take to getting fit. I’m a tough guy to convince of pretty much anything but these two have me willingly showing up every night to get my butt kicked in the best possible way… by the best possible trainers… and standing next to a crew of great people all pounding it out along with me. My wife was an avid Lift & Sprinter for over a year before convincing me to take advantage of the free trial week while I was on «vacation.» That vacation left me sorer than any vacation I’ve ever experienced but I loved every minute of it. I’m nearly 40 years old and gave L&S a shot because I realized I was having a hard time running around the soccer field with my kids and wanted to see if they could give me the motivation, direction and support to get me off my butt and back into shape. Just over four months later I can honestly say I’m fitter, stronger, better conditioned and just plain happier than I’ve been since my mid-twenties. The workouts are focused and structured but Amy and Nic are adept at immediately seeing what level you’re at and adapting things to suit your situation and needs. As a guy who literally couldn’t run for :30 seconds without stopping when I first started, I was a bit worried about how I’d feel working out next to a bunch of people who were already fit and working out. Turns out, almost everyone either feels that way or has felt that way at one point. Not only are the trainers awesome at helping everyone reach their full potential, the rest of the Lift & Sprinters are like the best support group you could hope for. Their motto of «No egos no limits» really rings true. Beyond the work outs they give great nutritional advice to really help you get to the next level and, even better, they’re great people to sit and have a beer with. On top of that, neither Amy nor Nic get annoyed when I swear at them throughout the workout. I’m happy to say that not only can I now run the field with my kids without gasping for air, I just got back from a beach vacation where the results were evident in the fact that I am now in the market for some smaller waisted swim trunks. Thanks Amy & Nic and I look forward to seeing any of you reading this at one of the upcoming sessions.(oh and all of the L&S locations are amazing)

I started going to lift and sprint about a month ago. The trainers are encouraging and positive. The exercises are challenging but manageable for all fitness levels. They provide modifications to make each exercise fit your fitness level. Also the trainers are very good about asking if anyone has an injury or area of concern at the beginning of each class. The trainers really try to find fun ways to motivate everyone to train. I would highly recommend Lift & Sprint to others. Mitch

One of my girlfriends from work brough us all here to do a «trial» work out with Lift & Sprint and it was awesome! Amy is a great instructor– motivating, positive, and knows how hard to push you to get the best work out possible. If I lived in the East Bay I would absolutely considering signing up for this on a monthly basis.

Amy and Nic are incredibly knowledgeable and passionate trainers, but more than anything they are super motivational. They use high-quality equipment in creative ways to design unique 45-minute workouts that are always challenging(in a sweaty, total body way) but completely fun. The convenient Emeryville Marina location is beautiful and peaceful, right on the water. Lift & Sprint is an awesome and efficient way to get your workout on and have a great time.

Amy & Nic make sure no two workouts are the same. It’s super fun and keeps their lift & sprinters guessing! The view from Emeryville Marina is awesome. Working in the Watergate Towers, it’s just a short walk from work to an awesome workout. With boxing, kettlebells, sandbags and more, it’s definitely worth it!
