Oxsalon Fitness

I go to the boot camp classes and not only is it conveniently located across the street from my work, but I also get the best workout in a short amount of time. Everyday is a new challenge and our trainer, Nat, makes it fun and more importantly his workouts produce results. The boot camp classes are smaller than the average and the group that attends regularly are of all levels and ages. Even in a group, you still feel like you are receiving one on one training and constantly given accurate instructions that fits your needs. You always leave this place feeling Ox Strong!!!

Just finishing a year of working out with Nat and don’t let his nice guy looks deceive you. He is a stone cold, fire breathing, natural born killer of a trainer. Super knowledgable, always has different but useful exercises and we are always working toward my goals. Nat is interested in you achieving your goals and is always researching new methods, exercises and tips to get you there. We had a detailed conversation before I started working with him on goals, expectations and commitment, have revised them a little as we got started, did an initial assessment and then plotted out a plan. After a year I can say I am in the best shape in the last 15 years.
Now don’t get it twisted, he makes you work! I would curse him out in the middle of my workouts if I could only catch my breath. Super intensive, compound exercises with little to no breaks is what I am after and Nat delivers in spades. Seems to relish my pain (in a good way) and is always providing motivation.
Studio is not large but has everything you need. They make great use of the outdoor space, the fire escape and parking garage as well. I live nearby and found this walking to Starbucks one day so it is often the beaten trail a bit. However, if you are serious about training and want someone (and a place) to provide the plan, exercises and keep you on point, Nat is your guy.

Things to know:
–Free street parking in front of Starbucks (metered) until 9am
–The place is on the 3^rd floor in the Starbucks building — you may need to use the call box to get buzzed in
— They have water and restroom inside
My trainer was Nat. He was super nice and listened to my needs and I have really weird requests. I want to look skinner, but minimize the bulkiness/​toness. I literally just want stick straight legs and a butt. This is different than the norm and he was a bit floored when I told him and showed him a «before» photo of someone that I liked better than the «after.» Regardless of this, Nat worked me out and customized the work out based on what I wanted. He also just educated me and also let me know that he’d do more research in terms of targeting my goals.
Definitely would come back. It really is a customized/​personal training class.

You’re in good hands with OxSalon — the trainers are terrific (especially Nat!) and the gym’s super clean. Nat’s amazing about modifying exercises and creating a program specific to your needs and fitness goals.

I started coming to Oxsalon about 2 years ago because it was located in the same building as the office I was working in. I started off as a boot camper during their beta week, and after that I was hooked!
Since my fitness goals have changed, I have now graduated into their semi-​personal training sessions and I love them! I like that every month I have a different set of workouts to do and it is tailored to me and my fitness goals, so it never gets boring. I also like that there are only 4 – 5 people allowed per session, so it never feels too crowded or that you feel uncomfortable because there’s some loud dude making noises in the weight room. lol. Lastly, I love the trainers at Ox! They have become like family to me!
To add to this, my job location has moved to Foster City and I still come to Ox to get my workout in!

Great gym, great people, great trainers. This place is kind of tucked away. If you didn’t know about it you wouldn’t find it. It’s a secret place but the secret places are the coolest!

OxSalon is a great concept for semi-​personal training. Classes have no more than 4 people at a time which gives you the motivation to work out because others are around, but also allows you some one on one training. Jeremy is such great trainer. He is enthusiastic and uplifting. I go in the mornings and I’m generally not a morning person so hearing his optimistic disposition is encouraging to start a work out. I wish I would’ve found out about OxSalon sooner and I wouldn’t have wasted my money at 24Hour, not that it was a bad gym, but I had no clue what I was doing so I really never went. I literally just handed them money every month, what a waste. If you want to get in shape and in a close knit and non-​intimidating environment with real trainers then check out OxSalon!

Health and fitness are the greatest investments. Period. If you ever want to get more in tune with your body, with great results-​this is your place. Michelle and Jeremy are fitness life saviors. They are both extremely nice, genuine, down to earth people that make exercising enjoyable.
On top of that, they are ridiculously knowledgable about fitness-​they personalize each training session to what you need without stressing your body out. I feel great after each session and I have seen incredible results.
The first two months (during the holiday season while I still attended every holiday party and event/​enjoyed a few sweets) lost the lbs, dropped the fat, toned my butt and improved strength all over.
The ox camp is so convenient-​I have a busy schedule that’s all over the place-​so I’m able to switch up my training sessions within the week at a great price!
OxSalon is amazing, I’m more than glad I met this power couple!

Welcome to the new age mom and pop gym.
Equipped with state-​of-​the-​art functional training equipment and staffed with the most up-​to-​date and educated trainers and owners, OxSalon is what working out should be.
Michelle and Jeremy understand how the body works and how to both effectively and efficiently reach any fitness goals anyone has in mind.
I run a busy sports rehab clinic and whenever people are injury free and functioning like real human beings again, this is where I send them for any fitness related goal.
Their studio is in an easy to get to location with breathtaking city views that help get you through the grueling yet extremely fun workouts.
Simply put, if you are sick of meatheads or people taking up machines at traditional gyms and finally want real results, look no further. It’s time to train like an Ox.

Michelle and Jeremy are AWESOME!
I’ve been needing to get off my butt and get motivated to work-​out. I realized I was a l tired of watching P-​90X. Michelle and Jeremy make the work-​outs fun, challenging and it’s never the same routine. I’m doing the boot camp and I love the fact that the class only has 6 people to the class. Therefore, you have a trainer watching your form, to ensure that we get the most out of the work-​out. The bonus, you get to listen to booty shaking music and banter with them.
Thanks Michelle and Jeremy for making working out fun again.
I’m feeling like a Foxy OX!

With the help of Unilocal,in two weeks I tried a well-​rated boxing gym, bikram and other yoga studios, TRX and bar method studios, a running club, a gym, and OxSalon. All were good, but only OxSalon addressed my entire wish list: no crowds/​limited class size (only 4!), some personal coaching to address my technique so I can improve, fast results, variety, a good class schedule (before/​during/​after work + weekends), an up-​front monthly commitment so that I will stay motivated and not cancel due to work, a clean, well ventilated facility (I hated walking into a boxing or hot yoga studio right after a class had just finished), a positive, fun, and friendly environment where I’d meet new people, good value for money (the more my body aches two days after my workout, the more I feel like I got my money’s worth), an activity that would challenge me while instilling confidence, and something I would look forward to rather than dread.
I’ve been attending workout sessions with Michelle for four weeks, 3 times a week. The first day was a little rough for me as it had been over a year since I worked out, but since then, I can feel myself getting stronger with every session and always feel a ‘high’ after my workout. She offers a free trial session, so it’s definitely worth meeting her and giving her classes (which are really semi-​private personal training sessions) a try!

I meet Michelle through a mutual friend and I have always heard about her intense workout routine. I ran a marathon with Michelle and while running and talking I was really surprised by all the knowledge she knows. I’m not one to shy away from any fitness challenge and workouts and once I found out she was opening her own studio I was really excited.
I walked in the her studio and right away my fitness routine began. I love that she asses what you can do as a person and right away she had a customized workout for me and was ready to go. I love to be challenge and she gives me just that, a great workout challenge. I also like to know where I’m weakest, like pull-​ups and she definitely addresses the issues without being overwhelmed.
I’ve been working out with her for almost two weeks now and I can already see the changes in my body. I feel stronger and better every time I walk out her door and look forward to what my next session with her brings.
If you’re one of those ladies or gents that need a challenge then OxSalon Fitness is where you need to be. Michelle is a great trainer! She will make you work!

A great new place with an innovative concept. Michelle and Jeremy are awesome trainers.

Michelle is one Foxy Ox!
If you are ready to transform your mind and body, you NEED to train with Michelle!
I’ve been training with Michelle on and off for the last 5 years. When I am training with her consistently, I am in the best shape of my life!!!
She is diverse in her skills, she will tailor each workout to your body and your specific needs. She has trained me for marathons and has taught me how to use weights. I use to have this mindset that because I am a woman I shouldn’t lift heavy weights. Michelle has taught me to change my mindset and she consistently pushes me out of my comfort zone. Which I love and hate. Lol…
I feel stronger, I have more energy, and I am addicted to training with Michelle. I literally rearrange my hectic schedule so that I am able to train with her. Because I feel at my best when I train with Michelle.
So if you want to change your life and have fun while doing it. You need to contact this beautiful woman today!!!

Michelle is the best personal trainer hands down! I was a competitive athlete my whole life but after competing in Division I rowing in college I wanted nothing to do with working out anymore. I was over it and ready to take the back seat for a while. When you stop working out like a maniac the weight just drops right off over the first year so I thought I was doing something right. My body needed a rest, right? Haha — wrong! After a few years of minimal working out, I finally saw I lost all muscle and just didn’t have that same confidence I use to have. Enter Michelle! Michelle asked me if I wanted to train for a half marathon and I think my first response was probably something close to HELL NO. She then gave me a training schedule and I said hmmm I could do this and that’s how it all started. She got me freaking hooked doing hill sprints and now I’m like an addict on drugs. My friends ask what I do every weekend and I say «RUN». Most think I’m a complete weirdo but I finally have the definition back in my legs and I feel so much healthier. I enjoy running and the high I get after and I completely owe Michelle for reintroducing me to something I once loved.
Michelle also got me back into weight training. She really just knows how to motive and push you. She’s a tough cookie but that’s how I like my trainers. If you want someone who is going to make you so sore the next day that it’s hard to sit down this is who you go to. It’s fun knowing that you are pushed to your limit every time. Everyone wants quick results and she will help you get there.
My friend and I sometimes trained together with Michelle and we would be dying with laughter in between our reps. She really knows how to make workouts fun but she also utilizes your time so that you are working more than one muscle during every exercise. Michelle also helped me think more about what I was eating and reminded me CONSTANTLY to drink lots and lots of water.
Can’t wait for our next workout together!

Women… listen up! It isn’t too often that you find someone that has the attitude that «strong is sexy»…Michelle definitely has that attitude. I’ve had the pleasure of training with and being trained by Michelle and if you think that guys are tough?! Hold on to your Lululemons. I don’t say this to scare anyone, it’s just a fact. She understands that training is sometimes uncomfortable but makes it fun to get through the tough moments.
And for you guys, not a bad way to spend an hour sweating!
