I am so grateful that I met Omar on a friend's recommendation. He is one of the best trainer I had over the years. His knowledge of human body and techniques to improve mobility, strength and physical well-being is outstanding. I love his boundless and inspirational energy, encouragement and constant attention to help me maintain proper exercise form. His creativity in ensuring that every workout session is novel and fun is truly exceptional. He is always tuned in to create a workout that feels like the best value you can get for your money.

Omar is incredible! He creates awesome custom workouts that are personalized to you / your group, making sure to hit the right mix between getting you in shape, improving your mobility / flexibility, as well as consistently putting injury prevention above all else.
The sessions are always fun & informative, fueled by Omar's super encouraging attitude as well as deep knowledge of how the human body performs best.

Omar is an amzinam instructor. He takes his work personally and professionally and really cares about his trainee.
My wife joined his gym and I've seen the difference shortly after. After years of seeing doctors, chiropractors, surgeries, and physical therapy to fix her back with no progress, it was great to see her walking and happy and not suffering,
After seeing this amazing work I joined the gym myself and I can't express enough how happy I am with the work that Omar is doing with me.
Thank you so much for everything.

Working with Coach Omar has been a blessing. As a competitive athlete, having the professional, attentive and healing care only received from Omar is unlike any other. Working with a physical therapist who doubles as a strength and conditioning coach has allowed me to take my overall health and wellness to the next level.
Omar was able to help restore mobility back into my shoulders, help remedy a popped rib, just to name a few. Coupled with a vass and deep knowledge of the body, Omar's humor and open heart make his establishment very welcoming and friendly to all fitness levels. Whether

I came to Functional Core Fitness to see if Omar was able to fix my body after many years of professional fighting and my most recent neck injury. He was able to point out all my problems and set a plan to heal me. It was a lengthy process that was at times, difficult for me. But, with Omar's positive outlook and his coach's attitude we were able to reach my goals, that became our goals. I am now healed completely and continue to see him regularly for strength and conditioning training. Omar is so professional and will never let you think a negative thing about yourself. If you want to

Just got my @$$ kicked! First session and it was awesome. This place has a beautiful vibe. Learned a lot about diet, energy, stamina, and a lot of other factors that go into complete fitness and health. Go hard or go home. Looking at others who are in much better shape here motivates me to be on their level. Good music playing, variety of equipment for different workouts and a overall positive vibe. I see you summer 2017.

My wife and I have been working with Lissy for the last few months and it has been an awesome experience. I have never worked with a trainer before and she has exceeded both my wife and my expectations. I really like the low key atmosphere of the studio and focus on functional strength training. I have IT Band Syndrome from cycling and the training program she has developed for us is delivering awesome results. I would definitely recommend Functional Core Fitness and Lissy. http://www.functionalcorefitness.com/lissy-stalter/

I had the privilege of working with Omar to rehab a leg injury. 8 weeks prior to my very first Tough Mudder event I got a grade 2 strain in my calf muscle. The first thing that came to my mind immediately following the injury was that there was no way i was going to be able to participate in the TM event and my planned 35 miles of hiking in Zion. I was fortunate enough to have met Omar whose approach to rehabilitation was far superior to what my doctors recommended. After six weeks of stability, strength, and power training I was able to run 3 miles without any pain. This gave me the confidence

I have been working out with Lanthany at Functional Core Fitness for over a month now. I love my trainer and this gym. Everyone is super nice and welcoming. I have never felt self conscious or intimidated. I am sore for days after my workouts and I have already lost weight and inches. If you want a great workout, individual attention and friendly staff, this is the place to go. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I have been training with Omar for almost 4 months now, and couldn't have imagined finding such motivation to change my lifestyle without him! I remember when I went to talk with him the first time, I was skeptical because I've never had a personal trainer. But he dove right into finding out what sorts of goals I had, and was genuinely excited to help me reach my goals. Not just in terms of weight, but to get my body to an activity level where I can start exploring all the things I've always wanted to do!
He's very in tune with my goals, abilities, and how far I can be pushed

This is the best gym in Bay Area. They have an excellent combination of space and high technology equipment mixed with excellent professionals 100% focused on you.
I am a World Wide manager that travels a lot with crazy working times and the standard lower back problems coming from planes and long nights working in front of the laptop . Usually I pay the first month at gyms like 24x7 and I stop going after few weeks.
Well, I started my training @ Functional Core last February and I have been motivated during almost a year . The reason is very simple: "They are Professionals".

GREAT trainer! He is excellent at pushing people's limits, very imaginative in creating exercises that apply to a person's sport, and very knowledgeable and experienced. He specializes in training MMA athletes, and is great in pushing their cardio, strength, and power- but is also able to train the everyday mom, dad, or kid ;) I highly recommend him.

I've been attending the circuit training class on Saturdays at 11 am. First, I appreciate the time - 11 am allows me to sleep in, and is early enough that it isn't in the middle of everything I need to get done.
Second, its a really good workout. Omar, the instructor, organizes an exercise for each person in the class. You do the exercise for 1 minute, get a 15 second break and rotate, then start the next exercise. After you've completed all the exercises in the circuit you get a 1 minute break. Then you complete the circuit again until the hour is up.
Third, the price is just

Don't let the Functional Core Fitness center building fool you.

Hey ladies...Lisa teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced pole dancing. Now we can all us a little of that now can't we? Leave the stilettos at home girls; you can put those on after you learn how to work it on the pole.

I have been training with Omar for the last 3 months to both improve my physique and increase my real strength (not just glamour muscles). As a result ever person I know has commented how much better I look. In addition, I feel incredible. I used to greet every day with 2 cups of coffee and then another around 11:00 am. Now, most days, I just take a morning shower and hit the day full stride.
I met Omar because I compete in jiu-jitsu. Recently I competed in the advanced open-weight division. I have only been training for 3 years now and all of my opponents had over 8 years of training each
