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.

Discover what is happening in San Leandro right now!

San Leandro Daily

San Leandro Daily brings the city’s everyday happenings into one simple, local feed. From community celebrations and public events to library programs, family activities, workshops, and nearby business deals, it helps residents quickly discover what’s going on around town. Built for San Leandro, it’s a convenient way to stay connected, find something to do, and support local organizations and businesses—all in one place. San Leandro is the kind of city that reveals itself slowly. https://sanleandrodaily.com It does not usually announce itself with the same volume as some of its neighbors. It does not have to. Its character lives in smaller, steadier things: a public library that matters, neighborhoods that still feel like neighborhoods, local restaurants people genuinely return to, parks that get used, and a shoreline that can change the tone of an entire day. That quiet substance is part of why I keep coming back to it. San Leandro feels practical in the best sense of the word. It feels lived in. It feels useful. It is a place where civic infrastructure still matters, where community programming is not an afterthought, and where small businesses still help define the texture of daily life. There is a kind of dignity in that. A city does not need to perform for the outside world to be worth loving. San Leandro deserves clear attention. It deserves tools that make it easier to see what is already here. Some cities demand to be noticed. San Leandro rewards noticing.
