Activate Personal Trainer Barcelona

Experiencia fantástica: Excel.lent centre d’entrenament. La meva experiència amb el Victor i ara la Maya m’ha canviat totalment la forma d’entrenar: he entès per què entreno, com motivar-me i com canviar la meva dieta. L’única cosa que lamento és no haver anat abans

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing work out. I feel privileged to work out with Richie every week. He really takes care of his clients and he is super organized with the schedule and always inciting you up to do your best!

Experiencia fantástica: Llevo con Maya unos 4 años! La mejor experiencia! Maya ha compartido conmigo todos mis objetivos y me ayuda día a día a cumplirlos, ya sean de fitness, nutrición o wellness. Maya tiene experiencia y se nota! Con ella, ha mejorado mi salud física y mental exponencialmente. Me encanta como cada plan de entrenamientos está adaptado a mis objetivos. Recomiendo a Maya 100%!

Experiencia fantástica: Highly recommended! I started with my trainer (Richie) 6 months ago, with the goal of improving my overall fitness and getting rid of sporadic back pain. Before meeting Richie I had never been able to exercise consistently. 6 months later I feel much better and exercising is part of my weekly routine! Richie helped me develop a routine of exercising weekly. He built a training program tailored to my needs, and changed it every 3-4 weeks adapting it to my progression. I exercise 1 hour a week with him and 1 hour at home on my own. Richie also builds my home routines, and sends me super clear instructions by whatsapp (including video). I appreciate Richie's availability by whatsapp when I have any questions on my home routine, or his exercise recommendations when I had a bad episode of back pain (worked much better than phisio!) In conclusion, I highly recommend Activate!

Experiencia fantástica: Llevo un año yendo y noto claramente mejoría en mis problemas de espalda y estado físico

Experiencia fantástica: La mejor decisión ha sido apuntarme a ACTIVATE. Tenía una lesión que me limitaba física y emocionalmente. El entrenamiento personalizado de Maya ha hecho que en 6 meses mi vida haya mejorado y pueda practicar deportes. Gracias, Maya!

Experiencia fantástica: Sascha y Sergio son dos profesionales que me ayudaron mucho en la recuperación de una lesión y, posteriormente, me prepararon una pretemporada adecuada para volver a entrenar a futbol lo antes posible sin volver a recaer en la lesión. Tuve una rotura en los isquiotibiales, contacté con ellos y al poco tiempo ya tuve una respuesta. Primero tratamos la lesión con ejercicios que me ayudaron a recuperarme antes y de la manera correcta, poco a poco me iban aumentando el tipo y la intensisad de los ejercicios hasta llegar a la pretemporada sin ninguna molestia de la lesión y bien preparado fisicamente. También ayudó la nutrición que he llevado durante este período, que también fue personalizada por ellos segun mis necesidades. Muy contento con su trabajo y sobretodo con el resultado final.

Experiencia fantástica: Sascha and Sergio are 2 of the best and most intelligent trainers I’ve had in my whole football career. They truly care about the health and development of the individual, and helped me make big strides in my hamstring injury in a very short period of time. Active is top notch, and I’m grateful extremely grateful to everyone there!

Experiencia fantástica: Llevo 2 años entrenando con Maya y estoy encantada con su profesionalidad y trato personal. Llegué a ella buscando ayuda para recuperarme del post-parto y me ha acompañado a lo largo de todo este tiempo, adaptando los entrenamientos a mis circunstancias, como mi actual segundo embarazo. Cumple con todos los atributos de una buena personal trainer: empatía, flexibilidad, planificación y buen humor.

Experiencia fantástica: Got a bad back? Get down to these guys!!! They showed me some exercises and within 1 day I was better!!! Amazing

Experiencia fantástica: Worked with Richie consistently 3 times a week while I was living in Barcelona temporarily (I'm originally based in London), and I have to say this is by far my best experience with a personal trainer so far. Richie offered a highly personalized program that suited my fitness goals perfectly and I was amazed at the progress I saw in such a short period of time - both physically and mentally. Not only did I see results but I also had a lot of fun in the process which massively helped with my motivation and consistency. He guided me throughout the entire process but also shared his extensive knowledge which made me feel empowered to continue my routine independently and safely even after leaving Barcelona. I cannot say enough good things about Richie and Activate overall - 10/10 highly recommend! Thank you for kick starting my fitness journey and I will 100% be back should I find myself in the city again.

Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with both Richie and Maya. I was in Barcelona for 6 weeks and had sessions with Richie a couple of sessions per week and also had the measurement/ assessments done with Maya. I would recommend that you start by getting your measurements done so that you have something to focus on during your sessions. Both Richie and Maya and incredibly knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition, and very passionate about their work. They are attentive and professional. I look forward to working with them again in a couple of months when I return to Barcelona. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Curiously, I'm writing my review today, my 10th month anniversary training with Richie! After 10 months, 88 training sessions, doing religiously 2 times per week I can say that I went to Activate looking for a PT to help me leave my sedentary life, and now I feel like I have had therapy sessions all over the year. 10 months ago I thought that going to the gym and lifting weights it was all about working my physical self, but now I realize that I've been through a huge mindset transformation. Today not only I feel so strong and fit, but I'm way more secure, confident, energised, looking forward to push more my limits and knowing more about myself and my body. So, if you're looking somewhere to become a better version of yourself, you found the place! Thousand thank yous for Richie and Maya for all of your support and being on my side in this journey. ;)

Experiencia fantástica: So far very satisfied with my results! Sergio is a knowledgeable and fun trainer to work with, I definitely recommend him!

Experiencia fantástica: Mi experiencia es muy positiva y mi valoración excelente. Recomiendo Activate a todas aquellas personas que quieren entrenar pero no saben por donde empezar y necesitan una guía. Richie es un entrenador muy profesional, cercano y que sabe adaptarse a tus necesidades. Te ofrece seguridad y apoyo constante. Además, sabe motivarte para mejorar y marcarte objetivos reales. En mi caso después de una lesión poder sentir que te comprenden y ayudan a superarte es esencial. También, entrenar con Richie es garantía de buenos resultados y un trato personalizado. He conseguido mejorar mucho más de lo que imaginaba. En estos momentos complicados trabajan con todas las medidas para garantizar un entrenamiento seguro y te hacen sentir en todo momento máxima comodidad. Entrenar con Richie es la mejor inversión que hago por y para mi salud. ¡Muchas gracias por todo! Clara

Experiencia fantástica: Sin duda alguna el mejor centro para ponerte en forma, en mi caso recuperarme de una lesión muy dolorosa en tiempo récord, gracias a Ryan mi entrenador por la forma de guiar mis entrenos y su profesionalidad exquisita , 100% recomendable.

Experiencia fantástica: Great gym installations and superb coaches!!! I have been training with Richie Alexander for 2 months and I couldn’t be happier. I just started training after a long period of sedentarism, and thanks to him I can already see small but clear improvements in my strength and endurance. The biggest improvement has been my motivation. Richie’s coaching enabled a steady progress, pushing my limits a bit further each session; obtaining results I wouldn’t be able to get on my own.

Experiencia fantástica: Empecé en Activate después del confinamiento total del 2020. He hecho deporte durante toda mi vida, en unas épocas más que otras… siempre he estado apuntada a gimnasio, al que asistía con más o menos asiduidad. Las clases del gimnasio me siguen encantando y creo que es un muy buen lugar para activar el cuerpo, desestresarte y hacer ejercicio. Pero desde luego para mí el empezar con actívate y el entrenar con Ryan y Richie ha supuesto un antes y un después en muchos sentidos. Son unos grandes profesionales. Gracias a las clases personales y ejercicio individualizados he aprendido más de mi cuerpo que nunca. Entrenando con con ellos a rendes el porqué de cada ejercicio , aprendes a realizar los ejercicios de forma correcta y de este modo ver resultados. Es espectacular como puedes sacar partido a las horas de entreno cuando están dirigidas por profesionales como Richie y Ryan, como con su profesionalidad hacen que las horas de entreno sean efectivas, dinámicas y se vuelvan en imprescindible. Gracias a los entrenos he mejorado mi masa corporal, mi elasticidad y mi fuerza y lo más importante mi bienestar total. Recomiendo totalmente Activate, ya que además de aprender a hacer ejercicio y ver el deporte de otra manera, las clases son dinámicas y los Ryan y Richie unos profesionales excepcionales. Invertir en Activate es invertir en bienestar y salud! Nunca había estado más contenta con los resultados de hacer ejercicio! Lo recomiendo totalmente!

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Richie over a year ago after a period of illness, I was totally out of shape, had poor balance and I was weak with knee, hip, back and shoulder problems. I started training with him two times per week, and now I love going to the gym, I'm rarely in any pain, my posture has greatly improved. I have clearly built good muscle, increased my balance, coordination and flexibility, and with Richie's continued guidance and encouragment I can challenge myself to lift heavier, get fitter and I'm often surprised with what I can now do. If you want to workout in a friendly, outstanding personal training studio with a great PT who provides good advice, positive encouragement, pushes your self-imposed limits, and brings some fun into the equation, then I would highly recommend Richie!! Thanks for all you're help on my fitness journey

Experiencia fantástica: Mi experiencia ha sido muy positiva. Con el acompañamiento de Víctor he ido trabajando en cada sesión para fortalecer y he notado el progreso. Después de meses de haber tenido una cirugía no era consciente que mi cuerpo no estaba funcionando igual, con el acompañamiento profesional he recuperado la confianza para seguir entrenando.

Experiencia fantástica: Gran centro de entrenamiento. Buenas instalaciones y equipo muy cualificado. Yo entrené con Maya y Richie con quien tuve muy buena comunicación. Supieron entender mis necesidades y me fueron guiando durante el periodo que estuve con ellos en el que noté mucha evolución. Los entrenamientos son cañeros pero se hacen muy amenos.

Experiencia fantástica: Llevo más de un año entrenando con Maya, tanto en la preparación al embarazo como durante el embarazo, y está siendo una experiencia muy positiva. Siempre he sido una persona activa, y con Maya he conseguido mejorar mi forma física, me siento mucho más fuerte (física y mentalmente) y con su apoyo estoy llegando al final del embarazo en un estado de salud y de energía por encima de mis expectativas. Además, con sus explicaciones he aprendido mucho sobre una buena técnica y postura, y estiramientos y ejercicios específicos para compensar otras actividades. Recomendaría a Maya a todas las futuras mamás que quieran tener un embarazo activo y saludable. ¡Muchas gracias por todo!

Experiencia fantástica: Estoy muy contento con la experiencia, Richie es muy profesional y he mejorado mucho con sus explicaciones, aunque creo que él también ha aprendido alguna cosa. Totalmente recomendable.

Experiencia fantástica: Estuve 3 meses entrenando con Ryan y la verdad que fue una muy buena experiencia ya que me ayudaba a mejorar y a comprender perfectamente la función de cada actividad física.

Experiencia fantástica: Mi entrenador fue Ryan y fue la mejor elección que hice. Estuve mirando muchos centros antes de decidirme porque dudaba de la profesionalidad de algunos entrenadores y en actívate puedo asegurar que tienen grandes profesionales, Ryan sin duda el mejor. El entrenamiento estaba muy guiado y en todo momento me explicaba la técnica , que músculos trabajaba y me animaba a mejorar ante mis momentos de debilidad. Con el he aprendido mucho.

Experiencia fantástica: Warren ha sido mi fisio desde hace varios meses. Estoy preparando una maratón virtual y empecé a tener problemas con mi rodilla izquierda. Me ha explicado que tenía una problema de alineación de mi pierna y que al mejorar la alineación el problema se solucionaría por si mismo. Me ha tratato la zona adyacente del dolor y ahora uso una zapatilla diferente. No tengo más problemas. GRACIAS WARREN POR TU AYUDA!

Experiencia fantástica: Victor is the BEST! A great trainer, super friendly and professional! I had little to no experience working out in a gym but Victor explains everything for what and why each exercise. I now even enjoy doing some of the exercises on my own. I highly recommend Victor to all my friends!

Experiencia fantástica: I started to run on my own during the summer. I felt I was underperforming due to some pain and discomfort in my knees and low back. I didn't want to give up running, so I decided to get help from a professional running coach. I found Activate Running Club and joined their classes. It was the best decision I could have made. I have improved my technique and performance. Being supervised and seeing results has given my self confidence a boost too. It's not just about motivation, but also about getting the right knowledge and tools that help to improve the journey of each runner. I highly recommend Activate Running Club! Beatriz

Experiencia fantástica: I trained together with Roz and highly recommend her as PT! I´m an absolute beginner in anything exercise related and in general it is really difficult for me to get motivated. The approach that Roz had however made me look forward to our training sessions every time! She explains the purpose of every exercise very well and does a great job at motivating me to improve with every session. Besides that, she is a lovely person to talk to so that made the sessions very pleasant as well! All in all, very recommendable, I will definitely come back here soon!

Experiencia fantástica: Acudí a Actívate buscando asesoramiento personalizado para recuperarme de una lesión. Después de un mes entrenando con Victor y de que me hiciste una rutina personalizada enfocada a la recuperación, he notado claramente una mejora. Desde el primer contacto con él supe que era un gran profesional y que mi lesión no era tan grave como pensaba. Su valor añadido para mí fue que siempre está disponible para hacerle cualquier consulta sobre el entreno y está pendiente de tu evolución.

Experiencia fantástica: Training with Tom was probably my best decision in 2019! In only 6 weeks I saw impressive results, at start I only wanted to work out to improve my back pain, but I started really enjoying it and now I can't get enough. Thanks again Tom for being a great source of motivation, I can't wait to start training with you again when I get back to Barcelona.

Experiencia fantástica: Vaig contactar amb Sascha amb l’ objectiu d’ aconseguir una bona preparació física per al meu fill després del llarg confinament, abans d’ afrontar la pretemporada del seu club de futbol. Sascha és un gran professional, els seus planings i rutines molt treballats i amb una comunicació fàcil i ràpida. Amb el planing físic i l’ alimentació que ens va recomanar l’ evolució física ha estat notable. Objectiu aconseguit! Moltes gràcies Sascha!

Experiencia fantástica: My weekly routine consists of functional fitness and kickboxing for about two to three times a week. I wanted to start running, but I knew I was never a big fan of running just because there was a lack of confidence and motivation. On the other hand, Richie has guided me and taught me different breathing techniques, and so much more. After a while I noticed that I could run further than I have ever thaught, the 5k was quite an effort for me but after a few weeks, I ran 8km! Quite an achievement for somebody who has never run before. It still motivates me! Great experience, lots of good vibes and I certainly recommend Activate running club to anyone who wants to start- or improve running. Thanks a lot, Daphne.

Experiencia fantástica: Activate me ha cambiado la vida. Empecé con Víctor por una fractura de tibia, peroné y tobillo. En tan solo 2-3 sesiones, la diferencia que noté fue espectacular. Llevaba más de un año sin poder caminar bien, haciendo rehabilitación y probando distintos fisios y solo él consiguió hacerme mejorar. Llevo más de un año entrando con él y no tengo suficientes palabras de agradecimiento. No sólo me recuperé de la lesión, sino que estoy en mejor forma que nunca. Las sesiones, a pesar de ser intensas, se pasan volando. Son muy dinámicas, divertidas y siempre distintas, entrenas casi sin darte cuenta. Te explica con detalle para qué sirve cada ejercicio y cómo hacerlos correctamente, corregiéndote posturas y vicios que puedas tener, y llevando tu cuerpo a límites que no sospecharías. He aprendido un montón sobre el funcionamiento del cuerpo con él. Además, te hace seguimiento dentro y fuera del centro, está siempre disponible para cualquier consulta o duda que tengas. Los entreno se han convertido en mis momentos de paz y desconexión de la semana, no podría estar más contenta. Recomiendo a Víctor siempre a todo el mundo y nunca defrauda. Es un gran profesional y mejor persona. El dinero mejor invertido de mi vida.

Experiencia fantástica: I trained with Roz and Tom. I can recommend both of them! My health issues were taken into consideration, they were flexible in regard to my schedule, gave a lot of helpful advice and helped me to lose weight! I learned a lot of new exercises and training was fun even for someone like me who isn’t to sporty...

Experiencia fantástica: Kuddos for Roz! I can't recommend her PT skills enough. We've been training for more than a year and I must say that the change is totally noticeable. Roz has been guiding me through the good and the challenging times when recovering from injury. Regardless of the personal stage I've been, she keeps me motivated. Her approach is very personalized. Roz makes the training fun and entertaining. One of my favorite parts is relaxing with some active dancing :) Well, it all works! Roz knows best!

Experiencia fantástica: I am very happy to have my training with Roz here. At the beginning, I’d like to have a female and English-speaking coach with me. Fortunately I met Roz. She has a very clear plan every time and we talk like friends.

Experiencia fantástica: Estuve trabajando con Actívate los últimos 4 meses y puedo decir que en pocos servicios que contrate alguna vez he encontrado profesionales tan buenos en lo que hacen, atentos, flexibles y motivadores. Voy con placer 2 veces a la semana, porque aparte del entrenamiento intenso y personalizado, de cual he aprendido y he corregido un montón de errores que hacia entrenando solo, mi entrenador es una persona alegre, comunicativa y culta, con cual es un placer dialogar, mientras entreno (cuando puedo respirar). ¡Enhorabuena por un negocio bien llevado, centrado en el bienestar del usuario y gracias por ayudarme a estar en forma y motivarme a lograr mis metas!

Experiencia fantástica: I am very happy to have found such a great place to train. I especially enjoyed my trainings with Roz as she is very knowledgable and taught me a lot in regards to fitness and even nutrition. I will continue to train with her in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Roz is a fantastic PT, when I first arrived at Activate I was totally out of shape and couldn't find an exercise routine that worked for me. 6 months later and I'm the fittest I have been for years. I'm even starting to get a strange enjoyment out of burpees!

Experiencia fantástica: ***********Highly recommended*********** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ After having Acl surgery in my knee for the second time it was very hard for me to get back in shape and i kind of sat down for a long time and got up to 98.7 kg. Post surgery i had meniscus issues and all this made me psychologically down till i said enough and contacted Sasha. After My consultation with Sasha i got assigned to work with Franziska Saller who from my experience is really knowledgeable in this. Shes the best! To cut things short.... Today, (1 month-week 2 ), i am 8 kilos down to 91.7 . I am really satisfied knee pain is almost gone, They took good care of my knee and all the training was professional movements. Im now squating 60 kilos above my head and before i couldnt sqaut with my body weight, if i did i would have to endure pain even while trying to sleep till the next day. We have built up as much muscles in the time being now around my knee and the form is visible. They took good care of me and even while training my knee they focused on other weak parts and i just feel improved in a full rounded up way. I only had one month and 2 weeks with them. **********Highly recommended********** ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Experiencia fantástica: I have had personal trainers before but none like Victor.. He works side by side with you to meet your goals, he's availabale for you at all times, every day, in and out of the gym. After one month with him I have exceeded my goals and more! The overall experience has been great and I couldn't be happier with the results

Experiencia fantástica: Activate helped me to get in shape and overcome several injuries while training for my triathlon. They offer a very professional 360 service! Recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Last September I started training with Sascha. I was only in town for 2 months, but had the absolute best experience. As I'm a model, I find it important that there is a plan. Everybody has a different body type. Sascha made sure I had a very specific training and included all my wishes. His knowledge and advise was very much appreciated. Thank you so much - I'm looking forward to come back!

Experiencia fantástica: If you want to get into shape but you’re clueless about where to start, Activate is the place for you. Arriving in Barcelona in September, I was in the worse shape of my life, with bad habits, a lack of exercise and absolutely no idea where to start. From the very first session Sascha made me feel comfortable in his gym. Over the last ten months he has transformed my attitudes to fitness and health in a way that I never thought possible. With an enthusiasm, humour and positivity that is irresistible, he has worked with me to set, achieve and even exceed my goals over the year and I could not be more grateful for his kind approach and constant encouragement. Not to mention the laughs along the way! The hardest part is going to the first session. But once you get there it is difficult not to be sucked in by the relentlessly positive, optimistic environment that Sascha and the other personal trainers adhere to. Forget the big, anonymous gyms, at this place you will get to know them and they will get to know you. The customer service at Activate is outstanding, across the board. I leave with a heavy heart, but ready for the next challenge. This gym - and Sascha in particular - has helped me through thick and thin and they have educated me on how to take care of my body for the rest of my life. I’ll be eternally grateful. But anyway, that’s just me. All I can say to you is.... what are you waiting for?

Experiencia fantástica: Upon looking for a personal trainer to reach a healthy shape safely and fast I found Activate to be a perfect fit. Professionalism, support and overall experience has gotten me through more than I ever could by myself and for that I will be ever grateful. Starting my second month now and could not be happier. Highly recommended. Thank you Victor Martinez see you on Tuesday ;)

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I had 6 weeks to go until I got married so turned to Activate to help me out. Having never stepped foot in a gymnasium previously i was full of apprehension, mainly due to my lack of gym experience and beer belly!! I was immediately put at ease and for the last 6 weeks I’ve been working with Tom who has been absolutely first class. Every exercise I have done Tom has took the time to explain why we are doing it and what the benefits are. He’s also sorted out my diet plan, again taking the time to explain the foods and why I should be eating them. In just 6 weeks I’ve lost over 7kg and have seen a great transformation not only in my body shape but also my mindset. Although the training was tough, Tom made it enjoyable and I found myself looking forward to getting up and going to the gym, even on leg day! Thanks guys

Experiencia fantástica: Higly qualified team - the best in town ! Comprehensive team of experts in differents fields that can really change your life, mind and body if you are ready to take the challenge !! Also they have a nutritionist and I really recommend the BioPrint !

Experiencia fantástica: I travel constantly for work and have very limited time for training and exercise in general. Activate Personal Training gives me the much needed flexibility so I can work out 2-3 times a week even if my job doesn't allow me to have a set workout schedule. I can only recommend Activate if you need a quality personal training service with English speaking trainers in Barcelona. Thank you Sascha, Victor and Maya for looking after me so well during my short visits to Barcelona!

Experiencia fantástica: I started with Activate 6 months ago and have been going consistently four days a week. Sascha and his team are simply SUPERB. They have become like family for my children and I. My children also train once a week as a group. A few months ago, I took up boxing classes with Johnny and it has been life changing. Johnny is a professional boxer from Cuba and an amazing sportsman. When I signed up for the class, I thought it would be just something to add to my fitness routine but I soon discovered that it was about me really learning to box as a sport, to the point that in a few months I can actually participate in a real fight. It's teaching me not only an incredible amount of physical discipline but also mental control. Johnny is an excellent teacher and he knows how to push me yet patiently teaching the strategies I need to have good technique. I highly recommend Activate and all it has to offer.

Experiencia fantástica: I would highly recommend Active 8 to anyone who is looking for a great workout, whatever their age or level of fitness. I realised at the beginning of the year that I had become oblivious to how unfit I was. I couldn't run to the end of the street without nearly passing out; my fitness and diet was at an all time low which was bringing me down. With my 30th birthday looming, I needed to do something. I have been with Active 8 now for about 2 months and my fitness level has gone from nothing to being in the best shape for years. I still have a way to go, but I know with Active 8 I will definitely achieve my fitness and health goals. Not only do I get a great workout every time, but they genuinely care for you and your overall health. For anyone who is unsure if they want to begin with personal training, just go for it, I did and it has been one of the best things I have ever done for myself!

Experiencia fantástica: Exceptional services, enthusiastic and very motivating trainers with great knowledge in their fields.
