Personal Training with Unlimited DEXA and VO2 Max

Custom Fit

Most training programs run on guesswork. Custom Fit replaces it with measurement. At its San Francisco studios, Personal Training and Partner Training memberships include unlimited DEXA body-composition scans and VO2 max testing — diagnostics usually sold one scan at a time or reserved for specialized clinics. Custom Fit members can test as often as they train. The reasoning is straightforward. A DEXA scan measures fat, lean muscle, and bone density with clinical precision. A VO2 max test measures the body's maximum oxygen uptake, one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular fitness and long-term health. Run those tests on a regular cadence and a member can see exactly what is changing, where, and whether a program is working — rather than relying on the scale or the mirror. That is the idea behind Custom Fit's positioning: not a gym, a performance lab. Every program is built from a member's measured body composition and cardiovascular capacity, then adjusted as the data moves. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork that defines most fitness routines and to treat training as something you can verify. The model also brings longevity diagnostics that usually live in concierge medicine into a routine training week. Body composition and cardiovascular capacity are central markers of how well a person is aging, and regular testing keeps those numbers visible rather than treating them as an occasional, expensive add-on. Custom Fit operates in Hayes Valley (323 Octavia Street), on Market Street (1844 Market), and with a Downtown San Francisco location on Battery Street (570 Battery) opening soon. Personal Training, Partner Training, and select memberships include the testing. More information is available at customfitsf.com.

🍷 WINE, LIVE MUSIC, PIZZA, WINGS, AND CHARCUTERIE IN THE WINE GARDEN
Kick off your holiday weekend at the AutoVino Wine Garden, featuring live music, estate-grown wines from Woodside Vineyards, and food served from AutoVino’s restored 1955 Flxible diner bus.
The day before the 4th of July, Nigel and Clive bring a playful British Invasion mix of 60s rock classics, familiar favorites, and cheeky London banter to Friday Happy Hour.
It's the perfect Friday evening: wine in the garden, the aroma of wood-fired cooking, welcoming AutoVino hospitality, classic cars nearby, and music that brings the holiday weekend to life.
🎶 LIVE MUSIC BY NIGEL &amp; CLIVE
<a href="https://youtu.be/JmpVDwRBwZk?si=sh8UQzdfNkub5G-w" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Nigel and Clive</a> bring the lively spirit of the British Invasion to AutoVino with classic songs inspired by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Animals, The Who, The Dave Clark Five, and more.
Their show combines well-known songs, playful British humor, and sing-along energy, creating the perfect Friday Happy Hour soundtrack in the Wine Garden before the 4th.
🍕 PIZZA AND WOOD-FIRED WINGS FROM THE FLXIBLE DINER BUS
Inside AutoVino's restored 1955 Flxible diner bus, Nate prepares hand-stretched Neapolitan-style pizzas with 48-hour fermented dough.
Nick, the Le Cordon Bleu Paris-trained chef at AutoVino, crafts wood-fired chicken wings in a 900-degree oven for a perfect crunch and tender meat. They are among the best in town, making them an ideal pairing with Woodside Vineyards wine during Happy Hour.
🧀 INGE’S CHARCUTERIE BOARDS
Inge’s artisan boards feature a variety of salami, prosciutto, brie, cheddar, olives, nuts, crackers, and sweet jellies. They can be customized for any group size and pair well with Woodside Vineyards wines, including Cabernet, Chardonnay, Zinfandel, and Pinot Noir.
🐾 BRING THE DOG. STAY FOR THE EVENING
Bring your dog, arrive early, and settle in for live music, pizza, wood-fired wings, charcuterie, and Woodside Vineyards wine in the AutoVino Wine Garden.
Seating is limited. Arrive early.
