Vitality-Fit

Every workout with Chealsea is creative, fun and hard. She is excellent at assessing where your fitness is, and tailoring each workout to build up stamina in certain muscle groups. We focus on boxing, yoga and strength workouts– all of which are included in our 60 minute sessions.
Her prices are by far the fairest personal training I have found in SF– much cheaper than going to Equinox or Barry’s Bootcamp– and a much more personalized workout.
Highly recommend training with Chealsea! She has kicked my butt into shape in about 2 months.

Chealsea was a great fitness instructor! She is the perfect balance of safe, firm and hard. We would start with cardio, move into strength training and end with stretches.
She is adaptable to the group and made us work the areas where we were weakest and motivated us to work on those areas the most. I had no arm muscle and Chealsea taught me the proper way to do push ups and weights to build my strength.
She is also really fun to be around and has great tastes in music!

I loved working out with Chelsea, with a couple of my girlfriends. The sessions were fun, well-​planned and she really pushed me out of my comfort zone but not so far that I didn’t come back the next week. She just built my strength up gradually. Chelsea is also really knowledgeable about food and lifestyle, so sessions with her were more than just about exercise. I loved how she gave us «homework» — exercises do to between training sessions. It really showed that she was willing to put the extra mile in, so I really ought to too! I learned from Chelsea that there are always ways to exercise, you just have to know how!

Probably the only person that can motivate me to get up in the morning, work it out, and stay on track to eating healthy is Chelsea. When I first started, I was lazy, tired of being overweight but lacked the confidence and determination needed to start getting my butt into shape. Chelsea was and is my kick start every week. She switches her training styles to fit my needs and focuses on the target areas I hate most, while building my core strength in order to do more exercise routines. Going from kickboxing, to weight training, to running exercises, and tabata, I feel like my body is getting the most out of every exercise. Although I only see Chelsea about twice a week, she checks in with me almost daily to see what exercises I’ve done and what I have eaten to make sure I am not straying away from my end goal. She’s the best because she is not only a trainer, but a friend who understands the daily struggles that everyone goes through in their week. She puts her heart with every one of her clients.

I have been training with Chelsea twice a week for the last year. Her workouts are fantastic and we never do the same workout twice! She mixes them up, keeps it interesting and pushes you in a firm but gentle way. Her kickboxing class is also awesome! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a hard full body workout.

I have trained with Chelsea on and off over the past couple of years but more recently decided to do it on a more regular basis-​twice a week. And although it’s been quite a challenge, it’s also been a lot of fun. I work out harder in our 50 minute sessions (plus another 10 minutes of stretching at the end) than I could do in double the amount of time on my own. This is because she is great not only at pushing you, but at giving you exercises that work multiple part of the body at once, so you work out more efficiently in a a given amount of time. And she has given me a few different routines, so there is a lot of variety and she wrote them all down so I can (theoretically!) do them on my own.
She also has a great sense of humor and is really easy going, but still pushes you hard. Even when I tell her she tortures me or I yell at her and ask «why are you doing this to me?»” (um, because I am paying her to?), she takes it all in stride and plays along. But she doesn’t fall for it or let me get out of doing the exercises just because I complain. And that is exactly why she is the best and why I am excited to continue training with her. She is definitely helping me stay motivated about getting back in shape!
Plus, her stretching at the end feels so good-​it makes it all worth it!

I first met Chelsea when she worked at Crunch on Van Ness. I was never a personal trainer kinda gal because they’re usually so pushy and insincere. Crunch always had tons of promotional events including everything from mixers to group workouts. That’s how I got to know Chelsea, and she breaks that stereotype. She’s genuine, upbeat, and just plain likable. The few times she worked me out there were challenging and fun. She was also really cool about showing me how to use equipment on the floor, even though I was not one of her clients.
Fast forward a couple years – I was trying to get back into shape post-​baby. Since Crunch closed, Chelsea had started her own practice. I looked her up and decided to give the personal training thing a try. I was a little skeptical about working out at her home, but the studio is actually a great space and fully equipped with all my favorite booty kickers like the bosu and kettlebells. I love circuit training and she always had a new routine to throw into the mix. She’s very understanding and accommodating. She even let my 3 month old come to one of our sessions! I lost 20 lbs. of baby weight with Chelsea and she has shown me effective exercises and routines that I still use at the gym today.

I have worked with Chelsea for over a year about 2 times a week. I truly miss our sessions. I was in the best shape of my life at that time. The only reason I stopped was because I moved. I have yet not found the motivation to find someone new. I felt really comfortable working out with her and wasnt embarrassed to try different exercises because there’s no one around watching me. The prices are reasonable as well. She is trained and knowledgeable in all sorts of exercises such as yoga, kickboxing and strength training. Our workouts were always different and just when I thought there could be no other new exercise she’d introduce a new one to me. I really liked doing the kickboxing. I was getting my cardio in and at the same time it was a way to unleash all my pent up stress. What I also liked is that at the end of each sessions she stretches you out. Whenever I worked out on my own I’m always too lazy to stretch after so having this part of our routine was really important. Not only is she experienced but she’s very easy to talk to and most importantly motivating. If you’re looking to train somewhere, I would 100% recommend going to chelsea.

So I thought I was already in pretty good shape before I did sessions with Chelsea, but 5 minutes into my first workout with her I learned the truth. As others have already mentioned, it is indeed a great ass-​kicking but it never really feels like that during the workout. I find that it isn’t until about 10 – 15 minutes afterwards that I realize how thoroughly I was worked as I sit on a stool gasping for breath at home.
Chelsea is a veritable encyclopedia of all things exercise – always ready with something new to challenge you with to insure that you get a well-​rounded workout that maintains constant effort without boring you. Her multi-​disciplinary knowledge truly impresses (she teaches yoga too?) and her thoughtful session planning is clearly evident every time you see her.
If you’re serious about getting in shape and taking your body to the next level, look no further.
Oh, and she is quite resilient to sweating and whining. I’m pretty sure that I can out-​sweat anyone (that small lake on the floor of the gym… yeah that was me) and probably every other exhale from my mouth comes out in the form of a complaint or at the minimum, a whine.

I saw Chelsea for about a year and thanks to her I was in the best shape i had been in for a long time… and that’s saying a lot because as a firefighter, I have always been into working out in one form or another and I take working out pretty seriously!
Chelsea is really knowledgable but more than that… it’s fun! She kicked my butt (in a good way) and the hour flew by. She was also very conscious of my previous injuries and tailored the workout so that my history of low back problems did not become an issue. I recommend her highly! If i hadn’t moved out of town, i’d still be a client. She ROCKS!

Chelsea is great! A very thorough workout: prepare to sweat, curse but look incredibly fit. She does a combination of cardio kickboxing as well as other kick ass training stuff. I highly recommend going twice a week.

I took some kick boxing lessons with Chelsea and was very impressed with the quality of the work out. It was pretty intense but never overwhelming. Really great way to get into your body and get the adrenalin flowing. She is also an awesome yoga teacher. If you want results and a challenging work out, then Vitality Fit is your place.

Let’s see, how to put this… I think, «a great ass kicking» (if you’re into that kind of thing) sums it up nicely, although I guess you get out of it what you put into it, still, a-​great-​ass-​kicking.
Chelsea’s a knowledgeable trainer and a great motivator. During her workouts I never wondered long on what needed to be done, and if I didn’t know how, she let me in quickly and effectively.
Her studio is well equipped and her rates are very competitive!
The workouts run the gamut from cardio kickboxing to TRX strength training and everything in between; very thorough. And, you can’t tell now, but naked, I look awesome!
Thanks Chelsea!
