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!

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 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 get the best out of yourself in a healthy and sustainable way.

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. They not only provide excellent training, they emphasize a healthy lifestyle - positive habits, good nutrition, setting goals, and the importance of family. Their encouragement and support has helped me and my teammates achieve goals we never thought possible. They practice what they teach and they truly love what they do!

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 cant succeed!

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 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. Id highly recommend them to anyone looking to get in better shape without feeling the pressure Ive often felt when working out with a trainer at my other gym!

I started training with Coach Francisco about three years ago, simply to get stronger. I could not run regularly due to knee problems. Coach Francisco quickly helped me improve my strength and form so I could run pain-free again. I joined the running team, and it is the most supportive and fun group I have ever been in - I now I have friendships that will last a life-time.Coach Francisco is dedicated to his clients as individuals; its not one size fits all coaching. I am forever grateful to the Fit Potato coaching team, and I recommend you check them out if you are interested in improving your fitness. You are worth it!

I love this gym. The best part is the welcoming atmosphere and the amazing coaches. The coaches are more involved in your health & fitness development than other gyms. They are extremely supportive. Thank you the Fit Potato for helping me reach my running and strength training goals. Im so proud and thankful to be part of this team/family.

I would definitely recommend The Fit potato for anyone looking to be healthier and lead a healthier lifestyle. Both Coach Francisco and Coach Juan are so wonderful. The personalized experience you get with them cant compare to other gyms like 24 hour and planet Fitness. I have known Coach Francisco for many years and he has always been consistent with his energy, positivity and being able to keep me motivated.

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 to complete the marathon, but I felt strong and healthy after the race, despite challenging weather conditions. I would highly recommend working with Francisco whether you are preparing for a marathon or want to improve your running technique. Working with this coach and his team at The Fit Potato was the best marathon preparation I could have done.

Coach Gomez at Fit Potato has helped me the last year rehab a life long struggle with lower back pain. I was diagnosed with arthritis. I did all my rehab with the Fit Potato coaching staff and am glad to say that one year later I am in way better shape. My back feels much better. I am running half marathons after only a year of training. The coaching staff keeps things fun and loose. Fit Potato organizes numerous events to create a community of active people. I cant recommend the Fit Potato team enough for general health improvement or specific injury rehabilitation.Mike Halket-Dublin CA

Fit potato is amazing!. Coach Juan has been working with me for a year now. I started out with just an inquiry online to try it out and Juan texted me an hour later. We set up a time for me to come in and try out a class. From the start every one (coaches and other gym members) were welcoming and encouraging. I felt like i wanted to come back. There was a time in the past year i wasnt showing up and Juan texted me to check in encouraging me to get back in and reach my goals. I went from not being able to run a mile to completing a half marathon. I continue to improve and I really enjoy going to fit potato.

Ive been going to The Fit Potato for a few years now and they are truly amazing! I have been working with Francisco & taking his classes. His classes are challenging for me & he pushes me which is good. They offer many different services such as: men and womens 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. They also give back to the community of Dublin. Both Francisco & his brother Juan went through the Dublin Schools. They are both of them are great personal trainers who care more about their clients health. I look forward to going to the workouts!!

I had a knee injury while running, then I was looking for a running coach, and I found this place. I have been with this Gym for a year and I am back to running.Francisco, Juan, and Zack have been great coach and they have recommended the right exercises for me based on my needs. This is better than working out on your own.I would recommend this gym to anyone who goal driven and hasnt found the right mentor to get there.

In the four years Ive attended the Fit Potato Ive experienced the best in fitness. Coming from high school sports, the Fit Potato strenghtened what I had built with team sports and turned it into personal, positive workouts. I would recommend the Fit Potato to both those new to exercise and those with more experience who desire to grow stronger.

I have been going to The Fit Potato for over 10 years. Years ago it was to get in better shape, which definitely happened. In more recent years as I am over 50, it has helped me stay in good shape, kept my core strong which really helps prevent injuries at work, and has kept me mentally in a good place relieving stress and helping me sleep better. I dont know what I would do without Francisco and Juan. They keep me accountable, checking on me if I am away too long. I also feel a great sense of community with the other people that I work out with. I know that they are going to wonder where I am if I dont come to Boot Camp and many times that has been the driving force to me getting up at 5 a.m. to go to Boot Camp at 5:30a.m. I highly recommend The Fit Potato and the great service they provide to promote fitness and health.

Fit potato is a place where you can be sure you will get in shape with the 4 awesome, highly trained coaches. The workouts are difficult and you are sure to be sore the next day. There is so some much support not just from the coaches but the members too. Lots of comradery at this gym.

I have been a client since 2017, and Coach Juan and the FP team gave changed my life. I fought my weight my entire life, and they taught me to conquer it and believe in myself. I am now 125 lbs. lighter (300 down to 175 lbs.), and I love an active life I spent most of my life avoiding. After running over 30 races including a marathon and learning I can do anything with patience and agood coach, I highly recommend this gym. They’re a family run local business, and they can change your life. Give it a shot - you won’t regret it.

I would recommend the Fit Potato gym to anyone who is considering losing weight, build endurance or train for a race ( 5k, 10k, half or a full marathon).I joined the gym because I had set a goal to run the San Francisco Half Marathon.I am happy to say that I successfully completed the half Marathon couple of weeks back. I worked hard and followed a schedule even though it was trying at times especially when i traveled. Thanks to my Coach, Gomez Francisco who motivated and instilled confidence in me every step of the way. Coach taught me some very valuable lessons along the way which was to be patient, work hard, stay focused, smile and be positive. He also reminded me that i had to spend enough time with my family and that running was not the most important aspect but the actual journey i made in discovering who i was as a person !!I lost weight, found a sense of purpose, became more confident, hopeful and optimistic with the belief that life has so much to offer!!!Thanks to my coach i see my life in a new perspective. He has changed my life forever and i could not be happier !

With my 12 year old son we tried soccer, baseball, swimming and he didn’t enjoy any. My son now is enjoying Fit Potato kids, coach Juan is patient, pays attention to each kid needs and knows how to push them without making them hate it! I’m very happy with Coach Juan, I definitely recommend him!

Been coming here for about 5 years and I love it. I mainly train with Coach Juan but all of the coaches are super helpful and fun to train with. The bootcamp classes are hard but really fun, always end up leaving more energized than when i came in. I really love the sense of community they have built here, all the members and coaches are very welcoming and supportive.

When I first arrived in Fit Potato I had physical ambitions and goals but not the physical ability to do it. I wanted to join the Marine Corps Officer Candidate Program, but in order to do that I had to pass a Physical Fitness Test or known as a PFT. The test was comprised of 20 pull-ups, 100 crunches in two minutes, and a 3mile run in 18 minutes for a perfect score of 300.But before training in Fit Potato my scores in the PFT were unsatisfactory. Meaning, I was terrible, my pull-ups capped out at 17 and my 3mile run was at best 21:30. Giving me a score of 264 out of 300. My motivation was down and I felt like there was no hope of getting better. Time and time again I did the PFT and my scores didn’t change. I was defeated and I was broken, I wanted to quit and it seemed to be a never ending cycle of failure. Everything seemed to be hopeless. My goal and my dream to be a Marine Corps Officer seemed to be fading away from me each day. There were two options for me to do. Either I stay in the low of failure and accept it or get up and do something about it.The Fit Potato got me out of the low of failure and got me on my feet again. Coach Francisco and Coach Juan worked with me and trained me to get me on the path to reach my goal. I started to go to them, to train me everyday of the week. Each day they pushed me harder and harder, taking no less than my 100%. They pushed me, they supported me, and they helped me get out of that metaphoric hole of failure and back on the path to my goal. They always say, “The right support can change your life” that statement couldn’t be anymore true. If it wasn’t for them, I’d probably still be sulking in my house complaining about how hard accomplishing my goal is.They trained me for months improving not only my physical ability but my confidence as well. Today, I’m in the best shape in my life. Right now, my pull-ups are at 20 and I’ve ran the fastest 3 mile run I have ever done, 18:50. Thanks to them, my goal is in reach. The Fit Potato helped me all the way to this point. My success is because of their work ethic and their support.

Coach Juan is enthusiastic and very excited. Hes very knowledgeable and helpful. We go to the kids fitness class. He has a good mix of patience and stubbornness to get the kids excited about what theyre doing and to do the moves correctly.
