Hired on Thumbtack

I contacted the facility manager Maria to set up an appointment for a facility visit and she responded almost instantaneously. On the day of my appointment, I walked into the gym and immediately felt welcomed. The environment is filled with positive energy and motivation. I was able to meet with a few of the trainers and get a sense of what they have to offer in order to help me reach my goal. I am physically challenged and was not sure about coming to a gym and having people look at or judge me in ways that make me feel uncomfortable. I’ve tried gym memberships at big chains before and almost always felt like the center of everyone’s focus; that did not happen at MPC. Matador Performance was instrumental in the process of identifying the ideal personal trainer for me and my needs; the match was perfect. It’s been a month at MPC and my time here is so enjoyable that I wish I had started sooner. I used to use two arm crutches when I first started a month ago, now I use only one, thanks to my awesome personal trainer; he motivates and encourages me during every training session, and has demonstrated to have a wealth of knowledge and exudes professionalism. There are so many challenges for me physically and he’s been able to come up with varied training methods to fit my needs and always provides measurable and reliable advice that is easy to follow. I definitely feel my legs and my upper body getting stronger every day. Matador Performance is a trainer/client facility. I am really glad that I found Matador Performance Center (MPC), where client satisfaction is highly valued; they care about you and your goal(s) not just your money. They are located on a not very busy street and the area is quite safe. Parking spaces on the lot can be limited during busy hours but street parking is plentiful, accessible and free. I have only good things to say about my personal trainer; thank you Matador Performance Center for facilitating the perfect match for me. Couldn’t recommend this place enough to my family and friends; if there were a 10 stars option, I would gladly give them 10 stars.

Michael is the trainer I was matched up with by the Matador staff. I always avoided going to the gym because I’m overweight and felt intimidated. Now that I’m in my 60s and suffering from various ailments (ex-smoker, chronic asthma, high blood pressure, obesity, etc.) my doctor sounded the alarm of concern loudly and recommended I seek the help of a certified personal trainer to help me become physically fit. So I listened (this time) and decided to grab the bull by the horns, face my fears and give this fitness thing a chance. What does this old guy have to lose? Well… a lot of weight and then some. Didn’t know where to start, fortunately a colleague recommended Thumbtack. Been working out twice a week with my trainer for 4 weeks now and can’t believe how far I’ve come. I feel short-changed by my fears and procrastination. Should have started this fitness journey sooner but like they say it’s never too late to start. Matador Performance is a great gym, people are friendly and trainers are very accommodating. Don’t be like me and put your quality of life on hold. It is a lot of work and sacrifice but so far the gains are worth it.

I owe MPC and my trainer Jennifer an apology for not posting this review sooner. Several months ago I sought out a personal trainer through Thumbtack as a last stitch effort to redeem the failures of other PTs I’ve worked with in the past, all of whom failed to address my specific fitness needs. I’ve been struggling with arthritis for many years & so far PTs have been unable to work around my arthritic flare ups. I chose Matador after reading their reviews & success with placing clients with the right trainer so I decided to give them a shot. My PT Jennifer is great! With her valuable knowledge & guidance I am starting to see my body transform and the best part is I can actually finish a session without feeling so much pain from my arthritis. She’s always varying my workouts so I never get bored. I’ve frequented many gyms trying to find one I can call home, at Matador I found it! MPC has the environment I like & the trainers there are genuine and really work hard to whip you into shape. Don’t waste your time and money elsewhere; stop by MPC, see for yourself how great this place is and invest on a successful outcome for yourself by hiring one of their personal trainers.

My experience working with MPC to hire my first ever personal trainer has been more pleasant than I had anticipated. Previously I had a difficult time in my attempts to hire one on my own but MPC staff (thru Thumbtack) made the process seamless plus my first 2 training sessions were FREE; what a great way to start this journey. They took the time with helping me find the right trainer to meet my specific needs and goals. Upon first entering the facility I felt instantly at ease, there’s really great energy flowing through this space. Anyway, I’m really impressed with the facility layout and the variety of equipment throughout. My chosen trainer turned out to be a great fit, she makes sure I understand why we do the exercises in the order that we do them; she’s a real pro and has a terrific & clever sense of humor. Looking forward to continue training at MPC and possibly hiring some of their other practitioners for different specialties.
