Gillham Fitness

Gillham Fitness is a personal trainer in Lafayette, CA. The gym offers one-on-one personal training, virtual app based training done on your own time through a follow along app, and online virtual training with an individual instructor or a small group of other online participants. Programs are built to increase energy, build strength, and eliminate pain. It holds a rating of 4.70 from the customers who have reviewed it. Training begins with an initial 50 minute intro session. The first part is a conversation about goals and what brought the client to Gillham Fitness. Then comes a premovement fundamentals assessment that uses slow motion video analysis to uncover imbalances and movement inefficiencies. The results are reviewed, the Gillham Fitness training principles are discussed, and a personalized workout follows. The programming aims at better feeling and more secure joints, improved performance, and expected results of increased coordination and strength, better posture, and elimination of pain. Sessions combine resistance training tools such as weights, bands, bodyweight, and TRX with functional locomotive patterns. Founder John Gillham came to the work through running. He ran track and cross country but was never taught to cross train or resistance train, which left him able to run 50 miles yet barely manage a few push ups. Building strength and muscle gave him confidence and energy he wanted to help others find, which led him to start Gillham Fitness. Clients describe losing 20 lbs, getting blood pressure under control, and becoming stronger and more confident. The gym sits on Mount Diablo Boulevard, about 0.2 miles from Lafayette Creek and Leigh Creekside Park, 0.3 miles from the Lafayette Police Department, and 0.4 miles from the Lafayette Library and Learning Center. For Lafayette residents who want individualized instruction rather than a self-directed gym routine, Gillham Fitness pairs assessment-driven programming with a founder who has spent more than a decade refining how people move.
