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.

A 90-minute virtual, live workshop for parents. The skills employers want most can't be tutored in. They have to be grown, and no one grows them like you.
<hr>
Employers are telling us what the next decade of work will require, and it isn't more screen time or another coding class.
In the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025, more than half of employers named durable human skills, including creative thinking, resilience, self-awareness, empathy, and curiosity, among the core skills their workforce needs. CASEL, a leading authority on social and emotional learning, echoes this in its annual State of the Field address: alongside math, reading, and science, these human skills are what let a person grow, adapt, and thrive no matter how the economy or job market shifts.
Here's the part most parents never hear. Those workplace skills aren't a separate checklist to train. Each one grows out of a deeper set of social-emotional competencies: knowing your own emotions, managing them under pressure, and reading the emotions of others. Resilience and flexibility grow from a child learning to manage emotion. Empathy and collaboration grow from learning to read others. Creativity and sound judgment grow from self-awareness. Build that foundation, and the workplace skills follow. Skip it, and no amount of tutoring or enrichment fills the gap.
And that foundation is built through relationships, which is where you come in.
Teachers, coaches, and mentors all contribute to a child's social-emotional growth. But the most important relationship is the one at home. A child's bond with a parent is the template for every relationship that follows, and it is where they first learn whether emotions can be named, whether stress can be soothed, and whether the world is safe enough to stay curious in. Psychologists call that bond attachment, and it is the soil these durable skills grow in. No teacher or program can replace it, and no adult has more influence over it than you, at every age including the teen years.
This workshop shows you how it works and what to do about it: which skills the future demands, why they matter more as AI reshapes work, how secure attachment builds them from the inside out, and what you can start doing today.
<h2>What You'll Learn</h2>
<ul>
<li>The 2030 Skills Landscape. Which durable human skills employers actually need, and why AI makes them more essential, not less.</li>
<li>From Skills to Foundation. How the skills employers want are really expressions of deeper social-emotional competencies, and why those competencies take root at home first.</li>
<li>The 4 Attachment Styles. How your child's bond with you shapes their ability to manage emotion, collaborate, stay curious, and bounce back under pressure.</li>
<li>When Attachment Gets in the Way. How insecure attachment quietly undermines the exact skills the future workplace requires most, often without anyone noticing.</li>
<li>What You Can Do Right Now. Practical, everyday ways to strengthen the secure foundation your teen needs, at any age.</li></ul>
