The Fit Potato is extremely EFFECTIVE! I injured my hip from over training last season so I went to speak to Francisco about my pain. He was super thorough in explaining the problem, the work we needed to do to get back on track. Additionally, the strength classes are very dynamic and effective at keeping one's total body strong from a maintenance perspective of rehabbing some injury. I highly recommend Fit Potato! Coach Francisco and Juan are great!!!

Fit Potato is such a great community for both running and fitness. All of the coaches are exceptional and they have always provided the support that I need to succeed in my running career. Coach Juan has always been very willing to go out of his way with my training, especially with his busy schedule. He really is the most encouraging coach I’ve had the pleasure to work with. I 100% recommend Fit Potato!

I have been training with the Fit Potato for less than 6 months, and I absolutely love it!! I thought I preferred running alone, but now the group running classes are my favorite! Everyone I’ve met here is so fun and encouraging. I feel like a part of a team here, and I didn’t realize how much I wanted that. Not only am I having FUN, I have improved my 5k time TWICE since joining. The combination of strength work, running form drills, and expert tips on recovery are dramatically improving my performance. These coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and experienced, and they know how to help you

I worked with Francisco for months to train for the 2019 Boston Marathon and it was the best decision I could have made to prepare for the race. Francisco was very responsive to my questions and concerns and incredibly knowledgeable about developing a training plan for me. He taught me a great deal about proper training, nutrition, stretching and preparing for the 26.2 miles. Not only did he focus on helping me physically prepare for Boston, but he helped me mentally prepare for it, as well. He checked in with me regularly, offered great advice and helped me get ready so that not only was I able

The Fit Potato is not just a gym, but it is a community of people who want to better themselves. I have been going to the Fit Potato for the last 9 years. In that time, it has helped me to become a better runner and stronger athlete, supporting me in all my athletic endeavors including running marathons and even qualifying for Boston. Francisco and Juan and crew have set up an awesome program to support its members in achieving their fitness goals and realize their potential.

I had been looking for a coach to help me improve my running speed and coach me to get ready for a marathon. I am so happy, my friend suggested and I joined The fit Potato.
Coach Francisco, Coach Juan and Zach are fantastic. They are supportive and knowledgeable. Coach Francisco created a personalized plan for me. I am loving every minute of my training. Wish I had joined earlier!

I did one-on-one personalized coaching with Francisco Gomez. It was pricey but worth every penny. Here's why:
1) Goals become reality! Prior to training with Francisco, I did 12 marathons. I had one goal - to finish in under 4 hours. Several times I came close but the goal eluded me time and time again. This year, I decided to do something different and signed up for weekly sessions with Francisco. First and foremost, he analyzed my gait and noticed that my right leg was much stronger than my left and that I was tight in several areas. As such, we worked on strengthening exercises

Juan and Francisco have built a great community at their establishment! I have been going to Fit Potato for many months now and love their friendly nature, focus on their customers - more like friends - and the knowledge demonstrated on health and fitness routines! Shout out to Juan for all the encouragement he provides me infused with all of his positive attitude and helping me reach my goal of one race per month this year!

I was looking for a place to workout when I am in town for work and found The FIT Potato. Initially I was somewhat hesitant, not sure what to expect but glad I made the decision to come in for One-on-one Training and a few classes. I really liked that the classes are small, every time I show up there is only 6-10 people in classes which is great for me and has allowed me to get more help with my form and accountability. I have also done 4 sessions with on One-on-One Personal Training with Coach Francisco so he could guide me and make suggestions so I can keep a routine going when I go back home

If you’re looking for a unique, fun, motivating fitness program, The FIT Potato is it! I love that this isn’t your traditional gym - it’s a family-run boutique program of small group classes, personal training and a running team. Coach Francisco, Coach Juan and Coach Zach take the time to get to know everyone personally. They accommodate anyone from the beginner to the advanced in a comfortable and friendly environment. I joined their running team without any prior running experience - they made me feel completely at home and have helped me develop into a healthy, happy runner and racer.

I've been going to The Fit Potato for years now and they are truly amazing! Juan, Fransisco, and Zach are all so positive and motivating. If you're looking for a hard work out and friendly environment, it doesn't get better than here. They offer so many different services. Just to name a few: men and women's bootcamp, running classes, private sessions, kids classes, and they also compete in local races as a team. They work with all ages and skill levels and really get to know each and every one of their clients. I've never met personal trainers who care more about their

The Fit Potato is a great place to work out they are here to help you. It has a family feel when you work out because everyone knows each other and are willing to help each other out. The coaches, Juan, Francisco and Zach are there support you and will help you keep yourself in check. They have a close parking lot and I park and walk in and it feels like home. They do classes and personal training depending on what you want and it is tailored for you. You should try working out here if you are unsure about working out or checking it out.

Coach Francisco and coach Juan are amazing! Since I have been going to The Fit Potato not only am I feeling better physically but mentally as well. They helped make me believe in myself and gave me a more positive outlook on life. I have been struggling with my weight for a long time and Coach Francisco not only has me on fabulous workout regimen that works for me and my schedule but he helps me with my daily diet as well. I would most definitely recommend The Fit Potato to anyone who is looking to lead a healthier lifestyle with the support system they offer there is no way you can't succeed!

The Fit Potato is an amazing place that I am proud to be apart of! Before I started to attend classes I used to dread working out and because of the upbeat environment and the awesome support system you get with them working out is now my favorite part of the day. Not only are they helping me loose weight but they made my outlook on life more positive. The Fit Potato is all about forward movement and helps you rise above and be a better you. If you are looking to improve your health and have a good time along the way this is the place for you! Thank you so much Coach Francisco and Coach Juan for

The Fit Potato changed my life. I have never lost so much weight at once and kept it off. I remember joining weight-watchers over and over again. The meetings were insightful, but something was missing. I'd lose about 30lbs and then gain it back 6 months later. I exercised here and there but it was never enough to make a huge impact. I joined The Fit Potato in the middle of December of 2012. I remember it taking me awhile to build up the courage to finally contact them. It was embarrassment, shame, and fear that held me back. I knew that starting in the middle of December was possibly the

I have nothing but great things to say about working with The Fit Potato. Both Coach Francisco and Coach Juan genuinely take an interest in improving my overall health and fitness as I told them I wanted to start training for a 10k. They push me to keep going when I start slowing down and continue to be positive. I like that everyone is going at their own pace and I find myself pushing harder with the group of individuals who are there. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to get in better shape without feeling the pressure I've often felt when working out with a trainer at my other gym

After going through breast cancer treatments, surgeries, etc., I was ready to feel strong again! Francisco helped me to get back into working out in a fun way. We met at the park and in his gym. It was nice to have a variety of workouts that I could do on my own as well. He is very passionate about what he does and he is very motivating. He wants you to succeed! I feel better about my workouts and it was just the jumpstart I needed! I would highly recommend The Fit Potato if you want to lose weight and/or feel stronger!

I started my free class June of 2012. I came back for another free class on Saturday and since then I have continued to come back of course not for free! Coach has a great attitude and is super positive. I really enjoy his variety of group classes. They are a great non stop workout. I have never received negative criticism from him and it will almost be two years of training with him. He has helped me lose 40 lbs and enjoy running! Something I never thought I liked. I live in Tracy and I drive to Dublin for his bootcamp. I really enjoy the atmosphere provided and every one is very supportive.

So- I can't really rate this place since I've only tried it out one time, but I will since my experience was one of a kind.
I went to the running camp one night at Dublin High School and checked it out. Nice group of about 6 people. Loved how everyone was doing their own thing- working at their own level. I met Coach Gomez and Coach Francisco, who both seemed to have a great personality, easy going and nice to talk to.
About 2 years ago I had a Brain Hemorrhage and fell into a stroke - I am 33. I wasn't expecting to go through all of that at such an early age. Although I have recovered

I contacted Coach Gomez because I was new to running and wanted to have a running coach to help me lay a good foundation especially in terms of running form. As a stay at home mom, I train almost exclusively on the treadmill and sometime run with the jogging stroller. I do not have any background in the track sports; in fact I had stayed away from running for a long time because of an injured ankle that I acquired from running the mile in junior high P.E. class that would easily reinjure itself just from daily activities like walking every few years. So once I got back into exercising regularly

The Fit Potato is so much fun. The trainer is very motivational and he has helped me look better and feel better. I go to work feeling and looking great! Its worth the effort for me to get up in the mornings and train with Francisco. Also, he knows his stuff and he can help anyone reach which ever goal they want, just as he has helped me and is continuing to help. I would recommend just trying it out, you have nothing to lose (expect weight!).
