I have trained for many years at different gyms and with different trainers, so when I first heard about Live Oak, I wondered whether it would add anything to my already rich and diverse training. The first time I tried it, I was blown away by its effect on my body—wow! I’ve become completely hooked on this training and have now been going once a week for over twenty sessions. I love it so much. It's money best spent! Try it for yourself

I was looking for a place to do super slow strength training and was pleased to find Live Oak, located in Emeryville. The trainers are knowledgeable, personable, and caring. The equipment is in excellent condition and they have a good number of machines for all body parts. After 3 months of attending Live Oak once a week, I feel stronger, increased the weight that I can lift, and have more confidence in my body and what I can do. It's not easy, but I look forward to pushing myself each week. If you want to improve your strength without hours in the weight room, Live Oak is the place for you.

I struggled with joining other gyms before Live Oak. Without prior experience, it was hard to find a way to dive in, let alone to figure out what to do when I got there. I joined Live Oak 3 months ago and it's been such a calm, unscary place to learn this new skill. They push you hard and listen even harder. Really enjoying my time and I can feel how I'm getting stronger.

I've never had the motivation to go to a gym before, but now I love Live Oak Strength and am so glad I tried it! The team is friendly and encouraging, and the high intensity strength training workouts are quick, efficient, and precise. Plus, scheduling and paying is easy through the app. It has become an important part of my life and changed the way I think about fitness!

I've been training with Owen for about a decade, since before he had his own gym, and he's excellent--rigorous, deeply knowledgeable, and warm-hearted. One only meets a certain number of guys as good as Owen in a lifetime. If you want to do strength training on machines, Owen's gym, Live Oak, is superlative. Simply the best equipment I've worked with anywhere on the planet. Every machine is very smooth and designed to give roughly equal resistance (relative to your muscles' leverage) throughout the whole range of motion, which is hard to find! Live Oak has rare equipment I seek out, like a lumbar extension machine, a neck extension machine, and a "pullover". Owen's a proponent of superslow, a low-momentum style of strength training that minimizes injuries so you can maintain it for decades (which is why I originally sought him out). Most people don't realize how much good you can do your body in just 30 minutes a week. Live Oak Strength Training is my favorite business, period, in any category.
