After a year-and-a-half break from working out, I needed accountability to motivate me to workout again. Tenacious Fitness was exactly what I needed to get back to what I’ve enjoyed for years. I wanted my strength back.At the start, Coach Alec put together a workout that was just what I needed to get on the onramp to the level of fitness I enjoy now. The workout was tailored to the areas where my body needed some “repair” and strengthening. Alec continued to create more challenging workouts as I got stronger.I refer to Tenacious Fitness as the Bespoke personal training gym of Napa.Knowledgeable, helpful trainers and a friendly, comfortable environment that encourages and empowers.After several months with Coach Alec who is patient, knowledgeable and encouraging, I feel I’m back to my strong self. Pain places are gone, and I feel younger than when I started.

Napa Tenacious Fitness has been integral to me starting and keeping with my fitness journey. The trainers are all very knowledgeable, helpful, and motivating.Every session is 1:1 with my trainer, and the best part is that my exercise plans are customized by my trainer to match my goals, needs, and ability. Its cheesy to say, but I really feel like they put the personal in personal training.

Sean, Sarah, Alec and the entire team at Napa Tenacious Fitness have been wonderful to work with over the past year. They catered my experience to my fitness goals and ability. During our time together, I had a few injuries I needed work through, and they were able to create a plan that helped me comfortably push myself while ensuring I did not experience further injury. The entire team is extremely conscientious in doing what is appropriate for each client. I always look forward to going to a training session. Our time together is challenging, but fun, making it easy to get going and continue my progress. I feel stronger and sturdier in my everyday life, and have learned invaluable tools that I will carry with me to ensure a healthier lifestyle into my future. Incredibly grateful to the Napa Tenacious Fitness team for supporting my fitness journey!

I have consistently worked out my whole adult life. I have embraced ageing with gusto, until about a year ago when I developed arthritis in my knees. I was in significant pain and was angry that I could not run, hike, or even get into a child’s pose in yoga, not to mention walking up and down stairs. I continued to work out but was bogged down by the pain. I found a good orthopedic doctor and was placed on meds and eventually got cortisone shots (with an ungodly long needle) in my knees which gave me some relief. But I was still in pain and unable to maintain my normal fitness level. Then I found and started personal training with Sean McCawley and Tenacious Fitness. One of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I have been training with Sean for about six months and I am pain free without meds! Tenacious fitness methodology includes a focus on functional movement in addition to strength training. My workouts are tough, fun, and creative and all focused on strengthening my hips, glutes, hamstrings, calves, and core to increase flexibility and lessen the stress on my knees. I am more flexible than I have ever been, and I have surpassed my past fitness level. All the trainers at Tenacious Fitness are highly competent, friendly and seem to really love what they do. The facility is also cheerful, airy, and fully equipped with all the best fitness gear. I always feel so much better when I finish a training session and I highly recommend training at Tenacious Fitness!

I can’t say enough about how awesome and encouraging Sean and the team at Napa Tenacious Fitness is. I’ve been training there for 16 months to get ready for my wedding and feel overall stronger. The trainers have been encouraging and offer a great plan of attack for my fitness goals. I highly recommend Sean and his team for your fitness goals.

I cannot say enough about how highly I regard Sean and the team at Napa Tenacious Fitness. I’ve been training there for 18 months to reset my fitness post-pandemic with the goal of finding a routine that I will maintain consistently going forward. The team has been amazingly supportive of my goal. I love that my exercise routine is constantly evolving, keeping things interesting to engage my body and mind. I feel stronger and with fewer aches than I’ve had in many years. The team is so personable and sets me at ease; I don’t know how they do it but every trainer there greets you by your first name on arrival and departure, creating a warm and supportive environment. Special shout out to coaches Moni and Noah who I’ve trained with most frequently, though I’ve happily worked with all of the coaches. If you are looking to meet your fitness goals in the new year, I highly recommend Napa Tenacious Fitness.

I am that person who has always wanted to be in better shape, but just couldnt stick to a routine. Earlier this year, I made a decision that it was now or never. I joined one of the big gyms in town and tried some training sessions, but the environment didnt feel right. It was big and loud and not at all personal. So I called around to some of the smaller personal training gyms and decided to try Tenacious. My intro session was with Sarah, and after that session, I knew this was the right gym and the right program for me. I signed up for 3 months. Starting out was hard for me, but the coaches were all supportive and encouraging, and now Im starting my second 3 month session. Im seeing and feeling progress and Im hooked! Ive also used the nutrition counseling and massage! I give both of those 5 stars too!Sean has created something special, with both the program and the gym environment. Where else do you walk in to a gym and everybody knows your name!

I normally have a baseline level of fitness but do much better with someone telling me how to workout and holding me accountable. Tenacious Fitness does both! Im training for a mountain climb and knew I needed help to get me to the level of fitness required to not only be safe, but have a good time climbing. Ive been working with Tenacious Fitness for a few months now and Ive noticed big changes in both my physical level of fitness as well as my appearance. Hiking is getting easier, Im lifting heavier, and Im actually working out on my own more effectively since Ive been assigned homework to do on my own. Ill be using their nutrition counseling soon too! They have so many ways to help you get to the fitness goals youve places and i highly recommend them if you want to take your fitness to the next level. Its also worth mentioning that they are extremely flexible with scheduling. They frequently check in to see how youre feeling throughout the course of your fitness journey. This was such a good decision on my end and Ill come back for another review after Ive accomplished my goal!

I turn 40 next June and have been trying to re-prioritize my health as a gift to myself and my family. Napa Tenacious Fitness has been a great resource and solution for me as I struggle to create exercise habits after babies. It is pricier than I would like, but worth the expense for me since I have not been able to commit to anything successfully otherwise. I am still early and slow in my goals, but am seeing marked, steady progress and have done so in a consistent, kind, supportive environment - without pressure, feelings of defeat, comparison, or worry that Im doing it wrong! I can trust Darwin that he knows what he is doing to turn me into a strong mom who is ready, rather than reluctant for all of my familys adventures! I am looking forward to signing up for my next 6 months!

I have had several trainer experiences over the years and my 6 months with Napa Tenacious has been by far THE BEST! The program that Sean has created and customization of workouts are so effective and actually fun!! My strength and endurance have increased exponentially allowing me to do all of the outdoor activities I love and confidently push myself. The entire team at Tenacious is incredibly talented, so knowledgeable and a blast to work with. I am honored to be a client and highly recommend them to anyone looking for guidance in their fitness journey! Thank you Sean and Team!!

Napa Tenacious Fitness is THE BEST gym I have ever worked with. I have been training here for 6 months and I have trained with most of the team and I can’t say enough about how wonderful they are!

Ive been going to Tenacious for several months and I am so thankful I found this place! Sean is an expert trainer and his staff are highly knowledgeable and friendly. The workouts are personalized based on your abilities and fitness goals, and they check in often to make sure you are getting what you need out of your workouts.They challenge you to push yourself but also listen to your body which is exactly what I need. Sarah has been my trainer this month and I love her energy, she makes the workouts fun!Sean also offers a nutritional session as part of your package which I found very informative and helpful.I highly recommend Tenacious for anyone - even if youre new to exercise they will create an effective, doable workout plan for you with no judgement and lots of positive support!

If your looking for real results in your fitness journey there is no better place in Napa Valley than Napa Tenacious Fitness. Sean and his team of certified trainers and coaches are the best and most professional people I have had the pleasure of collaborating with to meet my fitness goals. Their personally structured program has helped me meet and exceed my goals. I am stronger, more flexible and better conditioned than I have been in years thanks to the NTF team. Not only does this program help you to create and understand better fitness habits but the personalized nutrition coaching helps you understand your diet as a whole and how it affects your performance and ultimately your relationship with the foods you eat and how that affects you for better or worse. I could go on and on about the positive attributes and changes I have experienced working with this team. If you are even remotely considering a personalized program such as this, do your self a favor and join Napa Tenacious Fitness!

I signed up for sessions because I had a goal of looking a bit more fit for a wedding. Six months later I am delighted that in addition to looking more fit, I feel much better in my body. I have been dealing with chronic shoulder pain for years and that is now gone. Really appreciate all of the trainers I have worked with at Tenacious. Have spent the most time with Darwin and Ayden who are fantastic.

Im a man in my mid-60s who wanted to improve my balance, energy and core. I signed up for a 3 month package of weekly sessions with Napa Tenacious and worked with Trainer Ayden. I was very pleased with the training expertise and customer focus. My body tone and balance have noticeably improved, and as importantly, I have the understanding to maintain a great workout schedule on my own going forward. Napa Tenacious is supportive, enthusiastic and expert---I recommend them.

Sean and his team at Tenacious Fitness are amazing!I started Deadlifting and doing Back Squats (on my own) a few months ago. I felt a little nervous because I knew my form was not right.I was creating my own workout routine, which at times felt boring. I tried watching videos online to understand proper form and get new workout ideas, but I was unsure about my form and how much weight I should be lifting.Then I joined Tenacious Fitness.I feel so confident about my workout routine. I am lifting heavier without worrying about injury. Ive learned a bunch of new exercises, and I know I am doing them the right way. Im prone to injury- this is the first personal training gym that has not pushed me into a state of pain that I have later regretted. I am meeting my goals and feeling so good!Tenacious Fitness is super knowledgeable about form and sustainable exercise plans. I highly recommend them to anyone trying to build strength for everyday life or heavy lifting.Im a huge fan!

I’ve been training with Tenacious for 27 months. I joined during Covid when I got a new job convinced that post covid we’d never be able to continue with my travel schedule. The flexibility and dynamicism of the entire team was unbelievable and we never missed a beat with my variable schedule. I’ve also never been able to do heavy strength work without injuries but their protocol of focusing on fundamentals and mobility has made a huge difference in my training. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and injury free even with an incredibly challenging work schedule. Moni, Alec, Noah, Darwin and Sean have been instrumental in keeping me healthy and on track with my physical goals. Thanks Napa Tenacious.

Ive been working out at NTF 1:1 with Moni for about a year and I absolutely love her coaching style. Shes passionate about fitness and nutrition, and always builds great workout programs that are tailored to help me reach my goals. One of my main reasons for joining this gym is because its 1:1 training. I wanted to make sure I had someone who would not only tell me what to do, but also explain the why and keep on top of correcting me to ensure Im using proper form. Moni has done exactly that and more. She also goes the extra mile to create travel programs for when Im away and even researched hikes for when I went back to NY visit family for 4 wks so Id have a good plan beyond the actual gym workouts! Sean, the owner, is also very invested in helping his clients reach their goals. After I expressed an interest in learning massage therapy, he went out of his way to generously put together a learning program and gave me several books to read. Ive struggled most of my life to stay consistent with going to the gym and originally, didnt plan on staying here for longer than a year once I felt confident on my own, but this team of coaches has become like a family and I really love coming here 2x/wk so theyre stuck with me!

After years of false starts on my fitness journey, I can finally say Im on my path to success, and I owe it to the amazing team at Napa Tenacious Fitness. The coaches craft personalized workouts that help you meet YOUR goals. No cookie cutter plans here. They will craft a plan to challenge you no matter what fitness level you are at.The one-on-one attention has made all the difference. After only two months, I have a renewed sense of confidence that I didnt think Id ever tap into again. The coaches are immensely supportive and encouraging. Its like I have an entire team dedicated to helping me get healthy and stay committed to my goals.

I started w/ Tenacious Fitness 3 months ago and it was a great decision. Id never worked w/ a personal trainer before but its been an awesome experience. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable, they constantly ask for your feedback on how you think your workouts are going or how to improve them, and they do an amazing job keeping the workouts fresh so your body is consistently responding to the sessions. My only regret is I didnt start this sooner. I highly recommend their services!

I trained at Tenacious for 6 months and had the pleasure of training with each one of the trainers there. Everyone I trained with was knowledgeable, friendly and made me feel comfortable at each session. I spent majority of my months training with Moni who became my personal cheerleader! I looked forward to each session with her and we built a great relationship! I feel overall stronger, I have begged posture and feel 100x more confident while working out now. I am appreciative of the tools they gave me. If you are looking for a place to start from scratch when it comes to working out or you are already well versed in exercise, no matter where you are at in your journey this is your place! Thank you Tenacious!!

I had stopped going to the gym for a couple years so I signed up with Darwin to get myself excited to return to the gym. Their system is set up well for me to do that. One day a week with Darwin and the other days on my own. I always find myself in a good mood when leaving there for the rest of the day. Great conversations and awesome workouts.

I’ve been going to Napa Tenacious for about nine months and am so glad I am. The program my trainer, Darwin, set up for me has worked perfectly. Slowly but surely I’m improving, feeling stronger, more toned and have lost weight. The concept here is aimed at success, especially for me as a beginner. I never feel discouraged or overwhelmed. If my body doesn’t respond well to an exercise, Darwin alters it. He is always encouraging and makes the program enjoyable. All of the trainers are personable, the equipment is in great shape, and studio is very clean. I highly recommend Napa Tenacious!

Having been an active tennis player most of my life, I became fairly sedentary following total knee replacement surgery in February 2020. I also had surgery on my rotator cuff in 2019. Without tennis, I gained weight, lost muscle strength, balance and flexibility. I had driven past Napa Tenacious many times and made the decision to contact Sean McCawley / Owner of Napa Tenacious. Am I glad I did! I have lost 10 pounds since I started my training sessions with Sean and his very professional staff of trainers. One-on-one training is something I had not experienced before and I highly recommend it.My entire body is stronger. My balance and flexibility are much improved. I look forward to my continued training with Napa Tenacious and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking to recover from past injuries/surgeries, lose weight, improve your strength, balance, and flexibility. Did I forget to mention that training with Sean and his team Improves Your Life!

The instructors at Tenacious Fitness always ask the right questions and really listen to make sure your personal fitness goals are met with the tailored programming they offer. The combination of stretching and resistance training strike just the right balance. I am learning new ways to challenge myself in every session and the results have exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Tenacious Fitness to anyone who is looking for an evolving personal fitness experience regardless of age or workout level.

I can’t compliment Darwin at Napa Tenacious Fitness enough. He takes my fun sports, golf and pickleball, seriously! From throwing tennis balls at me while I’m standing on one foot (to improve my fast reaction and balance for pickleball) to adjusting forearm and upper arm exercises to treat and prevent golfer’s elbow, Darwin has increased my confidence and ability in playing these sports. My handicap has dropped 5 points! My medical tests have also improved - from improving my bone density to improved cholesterol, blood sugar and triglyceride results. As a medical doctor, I also vouch for Darwin’s nutrition and fitness knowledge. He is up to date on these topics and I trust his advice. I am glad that Sean McCawley writes for the Napa Register - that’s how I found this gym and it’s been a great investment in my health!

I have been working out at Tenacious Fitness and I am very happy that I found them! I wanted to work on my flexibility, strength, and overall fitness. Sean, Jesse, and Bobby are great trainers. They work with me on my goals and create a workout plan that I can do and really enjoy doing! I look forward to each new phase of exercises as I get better and stronger when I go in for my sessions. I would definitely recommend you check out Tenacious Fitness!

I started at Tenacious Fitness in February after spending 2021 with a couple injuries that had really stopped me from working out for most of the year. Combine that with age related weight gain and I was really feeling down about myself and the shape I was in. I felt that I wanted to start to get back in shape with a personal trainer rather than in front of others at a class. The trainers really took the time to get to know me and my abilities and made sure that my workout was tailored to me and my goals. I have worked with 3 different trainers and all of them have been conscientious about my past injuries and helping me to gain strength and endurance back. I started almost 4 months ago and I already have more endurance and energy and feel more like my old self. The experience has been so positive, I plan to stick with Tenacious Fitness.

I cannot speak highly enough about Sean and his team! I have been attending weekly training sessions at Tenacious Fitness for over 6 months. Sean is passionate, knowledgeable and takes the time to truly understand my goals. Most importantly Sean listens to my feedback to ensure my training sessions are fun, diverse and target the areas that I want to focus on. I have been battling a knee injury for over 15yrs and very quickly after a few months of consistent training at Tenacious Fitness I noticed a total change in my knee mobility and strength - this in turn has improved my quality of life! In addition to my knee rehabilitation Sean has also helped me gain a better understanding of nutrition and overall wellness, Im proud to say that I have also lost 8lbs along the way. I am grateful to have found a safe and supportive training environment!

Sean and his team are everything one could ask for in a fitness program! They took the time to really get know what my goals were. The individualized workout plan is like nothing I have experienced before. The workouts are never boring. They are evolving as my needs change and skills develop. I feel so safe in the amazing space that you have created. Thank you to Sean and the Tenacious Fitness Team!

I have been working out at Tenacious Fitness for 4 years now and it has changed my life. Not only have I become physically stronger and more toned, but I have also become mentally strong and more confident in myself. I currently train twice a week with Jesse which has been the perfect consistency for me. The Tenacious team have helped me maintain my healthy lifestyle and have been nothing but supportive and encouraging, while also still kicking my butt in the gym! I would highly recommend Tenacious Fitness!

So, I never leave reviews, but Napa Tenacious Fitness deserves it because it truly is a hidden gem! I think everyone should check this gym and the trainers out. I am so happy to have found this place and found trainers that really care about your health through fitness, nutritious, and just overall wellbeing. Their approach is very personalized, which is great because everyone has had a different fitness journey. For a while I have been looking for a gym/trainer that focused on injury prevention through resistance training and teaching proper form. A few years ago, I was at the peak of my fitness, I was lifting heavy weights, dancing, and doing HIIT regularly. I got into a car accident and that messed up my back, which then made me very hesitant about lifting. I went to PT and Chiro and tried to look for a gym that would help me get stronger and gain confidence to lift heavy again. After searching for a while, through a friend’s recommendation, I found Napa Tenacious. The trainers at this gym create catered exercise routines that focus on your personal goals through different phases so that you can progress to your goals in an injury free manner. I have been working out here for over a year now, I can see the progress I have made. I am stronger, I have more confidence lifting heavy weights, and my overall fitness has improved! Thank you so much to the Napa Tenacious team (Sean, Alec, Diego, and Gianna)!!

The word tenacious is defined as, persisting in existence; not easily dispelled. Synonyms include determined, dogged, relentless and resolute. Whether you want to lose weight, get stronger, or just develop healthier habits, tenacity is key, which is why tenacious is the perfect way to describe the experience at this studio. The fitness prescription developed specifically for you by Sean and his team enable you to reach your goals in a healthy and sustainable manner. While youll quickly see results, every exercise is introduced in order to create a strong foundation for growth. Programs build upon programs in an effort to develop lifetime fitness habits. Ive tried many different fitness programs and have never achieved the level of success that I have at Tenacious Fitness. Beyond that, training with Sean and Bobby is a lot of fun. Tenacious isnt just a word to describe how youll approach your fitness goals, but it also describes how Sean, Bobby and the team approach them as well. Theyll hold you accountable, help you reach your goals, and then help create new ones while maintaining your progress. I highly recommend Tenacious Fitness.Tenacious also comes from the Latin tenere which means to hold. Hold you accountable. Hold you

Napa Tenacious is awesome. If you have a busy schedule but still want to be able to maximize your fitness goals and time in the gym, then this is the place for you! The trainers, Sean, Jesse and Bobby are great and know their stuff! They make sure you work hard and have a plan tailored toward what you want/need. I have been going to Napa Tenacious for about 6 months now and have seen great results!

I highly recommend Napa Tenacious personal training gym. Sean and Bobby are super friendly and make working out a lot of fun. If you are a seasoned fitness buff or just a beginner, these guys will tailor the experience to your needs. I should add that they are great at injury management and know a ton about how to help with an old injury or a new one. I found myself looking forward to my work out sessions at this place which was definitely not the case at previous gyms I have used.

I was inspired to try Napa Tenacious Fitness after reading multiple articles written by Sean McCawley in the Napa Register. His articles always offered such sound and realistic advice on Fitness and Nutrition. Ive always been an avid fan of working out, but I continued to injure myself when doing squats, lunges and hiking. I signed up with Napa Tenacious to find out if Sean and his team could train me on how to do a proper lunge, squat and other common workout routines. Alec Cornwell and Monica Amin have been so instrumental in my success! I am now able to master a proper lunge and squat. The warmup routines that are required before each session are a series of routines developed by Sean McCawley and are so beneficial and useful as an everyday wake up routine or healthy nightcap before retiring.

Moving back to Napa Valley in 2015 was an adjustment, especially with the wonderful food and wine to indulge in. By January of 2017, i was ready to make a change- eat better- exercise regularly- but needed some serious motivation. My sister had been going to Tenacious for 3 years and recommended i speak with Sean about my overall fitness goals and the reasons why i wanted to get fit. Its important to understand that at Tenacious, the why is crucial for them to know- in order for them to help you reach that goal. its much more than just a gym, its personal one-on-one training that is specialized to you and your body- to help you achieve your goal. the attention and care given to me over this past year, as been truly incredible. you will focus on movements and exercises that you enjoy- ones that you are good at it.Overall, i wanted feel better- look better- lose 10+ lbs- and fit into my clothes better. After a few phone calls with Sean, i started at Tenacious on January 19th, and as of Oct 31st- i lost 13lbs- dropped a pant size- a shirt size- and overall feel awesome!! it was slow weight loss about 1-2 lbs a month, but very steady and consistent and i never gave up. Completing this goal in 10 months surpassed my expectation but i know i couldnt have done it without Tenacious. Cant say enough amazing things about Sean and his team and his fitness routines.

Sean is a great at what he does. The way he explains body movement and conditioning has really helped me to educate myself in the physiology of my body. I have never had a workout program or any sort of exercise regime. Sean’s custom program for me has pushed me to a level of fitness I would never have achieved on my own. All the trainers at Napa Tenacious Fitness are very educated in body mechanics and working with them has taught me how to move during my workouts which has prevented injury and sped my recovery.I originally went to see Sean after becoming frustrated with my body. At 34, I could not put on socks without tightness or discomfort in my lower body. I sought help from a chiropractor and yoga studio. Both left me feeling good that day, but did nothing to change my behaviors or life for the long term. With Sean and Kevin’s help, I feel I have created strategies and tools that I can use for the rest of my life to keep me fit and healthy (and now I can put my socks on without wincing).

I am a senior who has exercised regularly all my life. However, the last few years I found myself doing the same routine each day and knew as I got older that I needed more variation to target all muscle groups and flexibility, specifically with the addition of weight and resistance training. I had been reading Sean’s columns in the Napa Register for awhile and liked his approach and set up a consultation. My goal was to come away with a personalized and varied training regimen that I could take from the gym to my home and continue on my own. We began shortly afterwards and I am completely satisfied with the results.We met once a week for three months. I would be given a four week training period that would have approximately 25 exercises ranging from warm ups to strength and resistance. Each week the staff would observe my movements to make sure I was learning to do them properly. Correct form is one of their highest priorities. Each four week period introduced a new blend of exercises and new additions to keep things fresh. By the end of the three month training program I felt I now had a very versatile set of exercises I can continue to draw on. Sean also provided an ongoing workout schedule that I can mix up from day to day, week to week, or month to month as needed. There is no longer anything routine about the routine. And better yet, it is all something I can continue to do on my own with a minimum amount of equipment.Having a personal trainer made a huge difference. Sean, along with his staff, have a very thoughtful and patient approach. They are friendly, very good listeners, knowledgeable, and thorough. Sean puts a lot of thought into each program based on the feedback you give. His knowledge of kinesiology allows him to create a personal training program for just about any request. Sean obviously loves his work and was always happy when I had questions so he could impart any helpful information he had. The trainers are all great, and lucky for me, non-judgmental. I gave them plenty of opportunities to laugh as I went through some exercises but they always turned my mistakes into a way to improve. They really are there to help you do your best in reaching your goals. I still plan to use Sean in the future for ongoing advice and/or additional training sessions as needed. He always makes himself available. Highest recommendation.

If youre ready to make a change to your whole life, not just physical, but also nutritional, mental, and emotional, Tenacious is the place for you! Everything from workouts to goal planning to at home workouts (or fitness hw) to weekly activities is created and customized specifically to you and how you want to grow and change. Not only am I getting physically stronger and in better shape, Tenacious has helped me make cooking a fun habit again and not a chore. Theyve also helped me bring knitting back as a weekly meditative practice, something I used to do all the time but got too busy for. All of the trainers are so wonderful and supportive and are completely committed to you and your goals! I cannot recommend more!

My experience with Sean McCawley and Darwin Bobzien of Napa Tenacious Fitness has been life changing!Never before would I have imagined signing up to work with a personal trainer! I have always belonged to a gym and settled into the back of the classes. To think of one person watching you for an hour was definitely not for me!I was desperate. As a result of the pandemic the gyms closed and I also suffered a hip injury. I found it challenging to even walk the dog. Needless to say, I slowed down, gained weight and experienced decreased energy and motivation. Surgery was a viable option according to the MD, but 2 days prior to my scheduled surgery it was canceled. It would be months before I could be rescheduled. What now?I had always enjoyed reading Sean McCawley’s well-researched articles in the newspaper. I was impressed at his wealth of knowledge and his ability to educate the layperson on body function and mechanics as well as nutrition.After much deliberation, I finally scheduled an appointment to discuss the process and expectation of personal training. I made it clear I was only doing research and that it was likely not for me. It didn’t take long for me to recognize that this was a team of professionals and that I would be in good hands!I began working with Darwin Bobzien and soon couldn’t imagine working with anyone else! He is so dedicated to providing the best outcome while remaining personable and fun!Sean also assisted when scheduling required, offering his vast level of expertise. Both have been phenomenal!!! They were not like other trainers I observed in gyms who chatted with others around them or looked at their phones while “training” their client. Sean and Darwin both educated me on why they were choosing certain strengthening, balance or flexibility exercises. They described in detail the musculoskeletal movement patterns during each exercise. Emphasis on correct form was a constant. Based on my specific desires for improvement, Darwin’s goals for me were individualized and well organized.I cannot believe the difference this experience has made! After three months I feel athletic again! My body is now craving a work-out every morning! I have returned to riding my bike long distances and have developed a home gym. I have been provided with home exercises to compliment my training. Recently when I put on my new outfit before attending a wedding, I looked in the mirror and said, “dang”! I noticed my improved posture and toned body and couldn’t wait to show my sexy self-off! I feel confident and with an improved mood for sure!And, for the surgery – it is no longer recommended!I will forever be recommending Napa Tenacious Fitness to anyone in need of a jump start like me!Thanks, Sean and Darwin for helping me to believe in myself again!

All around AWESOME! I’ve tried a few places before coming to Tenacious Fitness and none of them can compare!!I’ve only been coming here for a few months and I can already see some great results; not only in my fitness, but in my overall well being. They always make sure your needs come first and tailor a program that is just right for you.Also, the staff is amazing. Everyone is very friendly and very motivating. I feel lucky to be able to have them be apart of my fitness journey

My daughter Alyssa plays competitive soccer and was seeking professional training to help her prepare for high school competition. She worked with Sean who was very professional and an amazing conditioning coach. Her confidence level in her self soared as we watched her on the field. She became stronger and faster. Alyssa cant wait to attend training next year again with Sean. We highly recommend Tenacious Fitness

Five Stars is not enough to express my gratitude and appreciation for Sean and his staff of trainers at NTF. I had never been a working out type person. My physical job and hobbies had been adequate in keeping me reasonably fit.That all changed in October of 2020 when I broke my back in a fall. I had massive debilitating nerve pain from a misplaced (shifted) L4 vertebrae. I tried all the less invasive treatments (steroid injections, acupuncture, chiropractic, TENS, THC-CBD, anti inflammatories) with no improvement. If I wanted to be active again, I would need spinal fusion surgery with screws and rods.An orthopedic surgeon friend recommended that I prepare myself for a good surgical outcome by working out regularly before my surgery to improve core strength, flexibility, and balance. I had read Seans health and fitness column in the Napa Register and scheduled a consultation.Sean was super supportive and built a plan to build some strong scaffolding in my core so that during recovery I would have the muscle support to allow the fusion to take hold. I visited twice a week for three months before my surgery.Post surgery I surpassed every milestone in record time. I returned to NTF three months after surgery and will continue for many years to come. Using programs designed by Sean particular to my needs, Trainers Antonio Vivan, Alec Cornwell, and Darwin Bobzien, have brought me improved strength, balance and coordination.My surgical outcome is fantastic and a majority of that is due to NTF. My fitness is better than its been in 30 years. 5 stars ? How many stars do you give a team that took you from a cranky sit around and suffering guy to someone who is on his bike 80 miles a week and walking, hiking and enjoying life ?

To start with, Napa Tenacious Fitness has made it so my strength and form(in performing various exercises) has vastly improved. I have been a client for over 6 months and the physical change that I have noticed in myself due to the personalized goal setting/meeting standards is simply fantastic. I was able to complete and pass my Cadet Fitness Assessment due to the assistance and training I received from the trainers. As a current intern for NTF intern, I can say that motivation and client focus is the top priority. There is so much work put into making sure each clients needs are accounted for and adjusted to. Napa Tenacious Fitness has changed the lives of many people, including myself, for the better.- Garrett J. Wachendorfer

A very motivating coach! I began working out with Sean 9 months ago after having my first baby. Since then Ive lost 35 lbs and gained a significant amount of lean muscle. I have more energy and more confidence than Ive had in a long time. Ive seen other trainers in the past and never had results like this. If youre looking for a highly qualified coach to help you get in shape then Sean is your guy!

Sean pays great attention to your progress, and customizes each persons routines to their unique fitness goals. I have trained with Sean a number of times over the last few years. He is very knowledgeable about human physiology and nutrition, and can adapt his training around any injury. I highly recommend to anyone, both new to fitness and the experienced athlete.

If I was not afraid of heights, I would scream from the rooftop my praises of Napa Tenacious Fitness. Sean and his team have been, and continue to be, the reason for my success in losing weight, losing inches and just feeling better about myself--physically and mentally. They are all very knowledgeable, and you can tell that they enjoy sharing that knowledge with you. I never feel intimidated or embarrassed, and workout facilities are not my comfort zone. Whether I am at NTF, or catching up on my goals and successes over the phone or email, I always feel energized and ready to go back for another workout. I have been working out with the them for several months now, and I have not had any problems with my back, which is a miracle. They know what they are doing and they will guide you . The only, only downfall is that I cant go more often. Do yourself a great favor and reach out to Sean!! Thank you, Sean, Bobby and Jesse, for all of your continued support and encouragement!

I cant say enough about Sean and his company Tenacious Fitness. If you are serious about changing your life from a fitness/health perspective, he IS the guy to go to. ESPECIALLY if you have particular health issues that need to be addressed while coming up with a workout routine that respects those issues. In my case, a 15+ years series of lower back problems, and Sean has come up with a workout that accommodates that. Its even easy when traveling, which I do a lot. Im stronger and fitter than ever (almost 49) and do seriously enjoy it and look forward to it three times a week (amazing in itself!). As with other reviewers, Ive tried other trainers/clubs, etc. and NEVER gotten the kind of attention and results as I do now. I might also add that I totally dig the comfort of working out in private, and Sean is a easygoing, smart, straight-up good egg of a guy who is comfortable with just about everyone. Just go see for yourself!

After not going to the gym for 15 years I decided to give personal training a try based on the other reviews I saw online. Im glad I did! Not only do you get one-on-one personal training, but you learn completely new exercises, strengthen and rehabilitate past injuries, receive two hour tutorial on nutrition and a custom diet plan. Did I mention a weekly and monthly life goal plan? Well they do that too, and make sure you stick to it!I definitely wasnt expecting all of that! I clearly have noticed a new spark to my step, and feel a lot more proactive in my daily life. Its nice to know that there is a solution towards attaining lifelong sustainable energy!Also, this experience got me into Pickleball which is really good for getting weekly cardio exercise credit while having fun with new people!

Simply put, Sean McCawley is the real deal. Sean was my strength and conditioning coach while I trained for my first Brazilian Jiu Jitsu completion. He made sure I circuit-trained in a way that would emulate my fight so that I would have cardio to push my opponent to the depths of the rounds. With few secondly left in the first round, I was down by 12 points behind. My training with Sean allowed me to trust my cardio, out-pace my opponent and catch a guillotine choke to win the fight.I would encourage anyone of any age, gender, or current level of fitness to train with Sean. Training with him will allow you to safely and effectively reach your fitness goals. Whether your goal is to lose fat, tone muscle, or recover from an injury, I trust Seans experience to develop a plan to help accomplish your goals.
