Mint Condition Fitness - Los Gatos, California

Nancy Allgeier

I joined Mint in April 2024 and began working out twice a week with Coach Kyle. Before I signed up with Mint my health was not the best, I lacked physical confidence, my balance and posture wasn't great and my joints were hurting due to lack of strength training.
(I used to work out a lot when I was younger: swimming (1-2 miles), biking (many times at least 75 miles per ride), jogging (many times 6-9 miles each time), hiking (a lot of long hikes through the years) and other sports. Life happened and I had let go of a lot of those sports.)
One of the reasons I joined Mint is that I wanted someone I had to be accountable to and who would increasingly and safely challenge me. Since I joined in April and the weeks click by, Kyle changes up my routine every month and challenges me a little more each time. My strength & confidence have increased, my joints no longer hurt and my posture has improved. In Sept 2024, much to my surprise, I was informed that I had been selected as Member of the Month! They were acknowledging that I had been putting in a lot of effort to improve my strength and overall fitness. I still have a ways to go to meet my goals, and I am meeting those goals one day at a time, one workout at a time. I'm really glad I joined and am taking care of myself in this way. I'm proud of my progress thus far.
The staff is friendly and always available to answer any questions I might have. I look forward to continuing getting stronger and meeting more goals. I would recommend Mint to anyone who is looking to join a gym with supportive and informative staff by your side.

I joined Mint in Jan 2024 when I hit an absolute low point on my health and fitness and was hopeless. Being a busy tech executive, a mother of a teenager and I let life take over and had ignored my health for years. As a result, I was morbidly obese, barely able to walk 100 steps without losing my breath, could barely take a few stairs or even stand for more than 15 mins. I wanted to finally stop procrastinating and take control of my health and life again. Tried several methods only to see the weight come back or strength deteriorate further. The struggle for me was finding the right gym and a personal trainer. I have been to several before finalizing MInt and every other place left me feeling overwhelmed and even intimidated. I realized I cannot go to a run-of-the-mill gym where some 30 people are running on treadmills and I was struggling to even move. I researched and found Mint Condition Fitness and what caught my attention was their philosophy and focus on middle aged and active adults. I am so thankful I found them! I started at the beginning of Jan 2024 and the people and the experience at Mint Condition have been wonderful! The initial meeting with Brad was very thorough. Brad really took the time to discuss my goals, answer questions, and complete a full health & fitness evaluation. Hannah and Mimi at the front desk have always been very friendly and able to answer any questions.

The best though is my personal trainer Kyle. I can't say enough good things about Kyle!! He customized a workout plan for me that met me where I was taking into account my limitations and strengths. Over the months, my strength increased, weight dropped and my functionality improved drastically. Kyle has been a trusted partner, a friend and a coach that was understanding and encouraging. He is kind, yet pushy and would nudge you gently to do your best. I have nothing but gratitude for him and Mint. I feel so much better overall and can see so many improvements in my health and lifestyle. I have a more positive mindset and approach towards my fitness. l so look forward to my sessions and always feel a sense of accomplishment after each one! I have seen some real results in the few months I have been here. Lost 15 lbs and most of it was fat. The periodic SECA and data driven tracking helps me stay on top of my progress towards the goals. I thank Mint for everything and being a partner on my journey!!

I joined Mint in early January because I had stopped strength training for about 4 months after I became dissatisfied with the place I was receiving training. It was expensive, and only once a week, and there was no variety in the workout or other people to train with. I wanted to find a gym where I could work out with a personal trainer who knows how to support my fitness needs -- not only just building muscle, but understands how and why I move a certain way, and what to correct to prevent injury and maintain good balance and mobility.

There are so many reasons why I like Mint -- I can work out consistently 2 times a week, at a reasonable fee, and they are flexible if I need to change times due to frequent travel and work. In addition to that, my coach is great, and creates a new program for me every few weeks so I don't get bored, yet I'm still focusing on specific fitness and muscle goals. The lessons are semi-private, meaning there will be 2-3 people per session, everyone working on their own program, except how we open and close the sessions, with some group warm-ups and a cardio WOW at the end. The gym is big, yet 'cozy' and everyone knows me, and each other -- very much a community. There's consistent ways to track your progress and frequent check-ins against goals. It is a solution that is working for me and has become an important part of my life. If you are looking for partnership and accountability for meeting your health goals, you need to join Mint!

I am officially addicted to MCF now! I joined Feb 2024. I just don't feel good if I don't show up regularly. Being data-driven (duh - silicon valley!), I love how MCF quantifies your progress! Monthly SECA checkups and quarterly PNOE results.
The staff is super friendly and my trainer, Michelle, is so devoted and involved in my growth and my goals!
My journey here has not be smooth. I had a couple of injuries from the workout but I refused to quit. Michelle, my trainer, told me to get it checked with the doctor and not ignore. I listened and was advised some rest and put on medical leave. I recovered and came back wiser 🙂 I can feel the muscles in my arms and legs and abdomen now. I thought God forgot to put them in my body when he made me!! LOL! My second PNOE results showed improvements everywhere!
The price can be off-putting but you get more than what you pay for. At least 8 personal trainer sessions per month, Red light therapy, Compression, Cardio equipment and a nutritionist! Totally worth the price you pay! Highly recommend this place.

My husband and I are grateful to be back at Mint Condition after moving to the Sierra Foothills a few years ago. Gratefully we can Zoom our workout sessions now (!) so we joined up 3 months ago, working out with the excellent guidance and support of MC Coach Jenn Chia. In just three months our fitness program makes all our activities in the local Sierras so very doable! We get out every week with a hike and/or bike and Golf weekly as well. Thanks Mint Condition for helping us to enjoy our new backyard!! Karen and Chuck Noe

I was looking for a personal training program that could help me get back on track with my health and fitness. I had gained some weight over the last few years and started taking cholesterol medication. I wanted to finally stop procrastinating and take control of my health again. What made it worse was I broke my foot and couldn’t do much exercise for several months. I had heard about Mint Condition Fitness on my neighborhood Nextdoor group and I am so thankful I did! I started at the beginning of Nov 2023 and the people and the experience at Mint Condition have been wonderful! The initial meeting with Brad was very thorough. Brad really took the time to discuss my goals, answer questions, and complete a full health & fitness evaluation. Hannah and Mimi at the front desk have always been very friendly and able to answer any questions. I've been very happy with my trainer, Kyle. He customized a workout plan for me and he is very knowledgeable, patient, friendly and encouraging! The workouts are challenging and I’ve learned so many new exercises. I like how the workouts are changed up every few weeks so you are not doing the same sessions over and over. I have also worked with Michelle who is also an amazing trainer. My fitness has increased and I’ve seen improvements in my abilities with core exercises, strength and balance. I feel better overall and have a more positive mindset. I look forward to my sessions and always feel a sense of accomplishment after each one! I have seen some real results in just the first 3 months and I can’t wait to continue my fitness journey. I have also had meetings with their nutritionist, Daryen, and she has been very helpful and knowledgeable as well.
Thank you Mint!

Mint Condition has changed my life since I first joined 15 years ago. I can continue to participate in all the fun physical activities I love to do with confidence and joy!

The arrival of our first grandchild eight years ago brought a new awareness to me of the value of my physical conditioning. I am able to play with all of our grandchildren in the multiple energetic ways they desire!

I highly recommend anyone considering joining the Mint family to do so.

I started out at Mint about 6 months ago, and so far I’ve had the best experience I ever had when it comes to exercising in a gym. The staff is super friendly and motivating, and the overall atmosphere is great. I’ve been under Kyle’s guidance as my trainer since I started and I really appreciate how mindful of my fitness goals he is and just how well he caters our programs to them so I can get the most out of them. He also frequently checks in on my progress and gives very helpful advice on anything ranging from general nutrition to sleep patterns whenever I feel like I am in a slump. Hanna and Bradley are also always very helpful when it comes to general questions about membership and other program options, always look to give everyone the best experience they can and very much look forward to improve it even more.
In my past 6 months with Mint, I can definitely say that apart from seeing visible results, I’m overall more energized and generally look forward to take on more challenges in my daily life.
