Ricardo Reyes Certified Personal Trainer

My wife and I have been working with Ricardo for 5+ years. I can’t say enough good things about his approach. I end my week with a workout with Ricardo and I look forward to it. He’s creative and brings just the right amount of motivation. I was rehabbing a chronic hamstring problem when we started and have not had issues in more than 5 years.
I thoroughly enjoy Ricardo’s approach and would recommend him to anyone.

Ricardo is the best! Seriously! After having a second baby four years ago, I needed to jump start my fitness routine. Ricardo’s boot camp was the perfect solution and I have been working out with him ever since. He has just the right balance of pushing you to achieve your goals without being too intense. He’s super knowledgeable, motivating, positive and just plain nice to be around. He changes up the workout so I consistently feel challenged and am always learning something new. He also pays particular attention to injuries and knows all kinds of special stretches and exercises to address the problem. The bootcamp group that meets at 6am are a fun and friendly group, although he does offer other times during the day and individual training. His schedule is very flexible and he always tries to make sure to get your workout in. Ricardo is so great that my husband and two of my friends now go to him for personal training. I can honestly say that I look forward to bootcamp despite the 5:45 alarm!

Ricardo is what I had been looking for in a trainer.
My wife and I have been going to Ricardo since January, 2011. We go to personal training once a week on Wednesday nights and boot camp once a week on Saturday mornings. We meet at Purely Physical Fitness in Noe Valley.
I started going to Ricardo because I always enjoyed working out by playing basketball, but I never stayed motivated to stretch, run, and lift weights. Ricardo has helped round out my workouts.
Ricardo’s attitude is always positive and never judgmental. My wife and I have different training needs. Ricardo recognizes that and gives us individualized attention and goals.
He is also a very effective motivator. He knows that I like to time myself and try to beat the time or number of repetitions that I previously did. I cannot speak for others, but I would bet that he creates your workout based on your own goals. It is nice to know that you are heard and that not everyone is just doing the same workout.
Unlike other trainers I have been to, Ricardo has never tried to sell us anything to get a commission. That’s a nice thing.
Other miscellaneous good qualities: always on time, communicates via text, flexible schedule, discount bulk boot camp packages, multiple boot camp classes available, encourages you to reach your fitness goals, patient, nutrition/​diet planning (if you want it), and generally just a really nice guy.
My one complaint is that I have been trying to convert one morning session into a day when we go get breakfast burritos. Ricardo has refused all of my repeated requests.
