First, a bit of background. Over the past few years, due to the pandemic, I've been holed up at home eating and drinking excessively without exercising, and my weight has skyrocketed. My belly has also puffed up, and since I mostly write code while sitting, I start to have neck & back pain.
Under my girlfriend’s coercion and persuasion, I started looking for personal trainers near the Peninsula. I found that most options were either large gyms offering training courses or personal trainers at regular gyms. However, regular gyms are too crowded for me, and the equipment is unhygienic, so they weren’t an option.
One day, I stumbled upon Wayne’s social media account account and saw that he shared a lot of useful information, including dietary advice. His fitness philosophy resonated with me, and he owns his own studio, which has a good environment and complete equipment. Since it's by appointment only, there are very few people, which fits my needs. This studio is located in downtown San Mateo, and there’s a small parking lot right behind the gym, making it very convenient.
With a try-it-out mindset, I took classes for two months, and the results were remarkably significant. I train every Wednesday and Friday at 8 a.m., with each session lasting an hour. I highly recommend my coach, Mark. He’s a very approachable guy who excels at encouragement-based teaching [doge]. He creates tailored plans for me; I have mobility issues with my left arm and neck, and he focuses on these areas during our sessions, providing me with suggestions for exercises to do at home. Since I’m reluctant to go to a gym, he also teaches me exercises that I can do with just body weight and simple dumbbells or kettlebells. Throughout the course, Mark has been very professional and meticulous, carefully demonstrating each move and correcting my form. He always asks if I have any questions, patiently explaining the muscles targeted by each exercise and its purpose and significance. Overall, after two months, my body fat has significantly decreased, my strength has greatly improved, and my upper body flexibility has also improved quite a bit. I've also learned many specialized exercises that are suitable for me. I highly recommend giving it a try!

I've been going to Morph Fitness for a while now, and it's been a fantastic experience. Wayne is super friendly and made getting started really easy and smooth.
My personal trainer, Amer, is awesome. He knows his stuff, explains why we're doing each exercise, and always listens to any concerns I have. Whether it's about my form or questions about nutrition, he's quick to help out.
My goal was to lose weight and build muscle, and I'm more than happy with the progress I've made. Working out alone was tough for me, but with Amer and the gym's environment, it's actually fun and something I look forward to every week.
If you're looking to get fitter and healthier, I highly recommend this place and working with Amer and Wayne. It's been a great journey!

For years, I struggled with persistent back pain that affected my daily life. It was a constant reminder of my sedentary lifestyle and lack of physical fitness. My upper body strength was almost non-existent. However, my experience with personal training has been nothing short of transformative.
One of the most significant changes I've experienced is the alleviation of my chronic back pain. Wayne tailored a program that focused on strengthening my core and improving my posture. The exercises were designed to target the muscles supporting my spine, which gradually reduced the strain on my back. I can now move more freely and comfortably.
I never imagined I would be able to do a pull-up, but with consistent training and encouragement, I can now proudly say I can complete one! While it might seem like a small achievement to some, for me, it represents the progress I've made in building my upper body strength. Wayne’s expertise in identifying my weaknesses and turning them into strengths has been instrumental in this accomplishment.
One of the most unexpected outcomes of my personal training journey is my newfound love for self workouts. Initially, I relied heavily on Wayne’s guidance, but over time, I gained confidence in my abilities and started incorporating workout routines into my daily life. Exercise has become a routine that I genuinely enjoy, rather than something I felt obligated to do. This shift in mindset has been crucial for maintaining my fitness and continuing my progress outside of training sessions.
If you're considering personal training, Look no further, Wayne is the answer ?

From the pictures, obviously there will be positive physical changes, as long as you come in working with Wayne with a can-do mindset. But the best part of this journey is how Wayne has the ability to combine his knowledge on physical and mental wellness, and deep empathy - to truly change your life. This program has helped me break toxic patterns to maintain a balanced lifestyle and healthier mindset. I truly wish I had met Wayne 10 years ago. The past few months have been well worth the investment. A lot of times, we like to reward ourselves with a nice meal or fancy clothes, but this has been the greatest gift I've given myself.

I found Morph Fitness online when I was looking into getting my fitness and diet on track. I'm so grateful I didn't let my hesitancy stop me from meeting with Wayne for my initial assessment. It's been two months with Wayne now and it's been one of the best decisions of my life and truly transformative.Wayne not only possesses an exceptional level of expertise in fitness and nutrition but also has an unmatched ability to tailor workouts to my specific needs and goals. His personalized approach ensured that every session was challenging yet achievable, pushing me to surpass my limits and reach new heights. I especially appreciated the attention to rehabbing old injuries and focusing on weaknesses I didn't know existed.I've attempted many diets before and unsurprisingly none of them stuck. Wayne's diet program is simple and approachable but incredibly effective. The easy-to-follow guardrails are exactly what a diet requires and made it a success for both me and my wife. Eight weeks in and I'm down 16 lbs of FAT, upped my muscle mass by 2 lbs, and all confirmed by a DEXA scan yesterday! For reference, my starting point was 154 lbs and somewhere between 18-22% body fat.Thanks to Wayne, I have not only transformed my body but also gained a newfound confidence and strength that extends far beyond the gym walls. His commitment to my success has truly been genuine, and I cannot thank him enough for helping me achieve my goals.If you're looking for a personal trainer who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also truly cares about your progress and well-being, look no further than Wayne. He is simply the best in the business, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Wayne!

Starting a fitness and nutrition program with Wayne has been an eye-opening and transformative experience for me. In just two months, I've lost about 20 pounds, which is something I thought would be much harder to achieve. What really impressed me about Wayne wasn't just the weight loss, though. It was how he guided me toward a sustainable lifestyle change that didn't make me feel miserable or restricted.Wayne's approach is all about understanding the "why" behind the actions. He educated me on why certain foods are better choices and why some exercises work better than others, rather than just giving me a list of do's and don'ts. This knowledge has empowered me to make smarter health decisions on my own, which I find invaluable.He also suggested that I bring my partner into this journey, which turned out to be fantastic advice. Making these lifestyle changes together has not only strengthened our relationship but also created a supportive environment at home that makes it easier to stick to our goals.One of the best parts of working with Wayne is how accessible he is. Whenever I had a question or needed advice, he was just a text away. This constant support made a huge difference in keeping me motivated and on track. Plus, the training app we used was super convenient for keeping all my progress and communications in one place.The workout instructions for my homework were always clear and easy to follow, making it simple to keep up with my fitness routine even on busy days. Wayne's guidance felt very personalized, which made all the difference in my progress.If you're thinking about improving your fitness and nutrition, I can't recommend Wayne enough. His holistic and educational approach, combined with his genuine support and the easy-to-follow workouts, has not only helped me lose weight but also made me healthier and happier in a way that feels sustainable for the long term. It's been a game-changer to have someone like Wayne guiding me through this journey.

If it wasn’t for Morph Fitness & my coach, Wayne Pasang, I couldn’t have accomplished my goals to be a much healthier version of myself, mentally & physically. Wayne took his time to assess the psychological state of my relationship with fitness & nutrition leading to a personalized meal & exercise plan. He checked in regularly & inspired me to set some realistic goals to get me where I am now. He acknowledged the big & small wins & taught me about body mechanics & overall wellness. Fast forward to 5 months later, I have 8 % less body fat, am 20 lbs lighter, & mentally & physically stronger than I’ve ever been. Thank you, Morph Fitness & Wayne! It’s all uphill from here!

If you're looking for a true life style change I wouldn't hesitate to join Morph Fitness. I had the pleasure of training with Coach Alvin at Morph Fitness, and I can't express how life-changing this experience has been for me. I started my fitness journey at 190 lbs with 23.1% body fat, feeling frustrated and stuck. But in just 8 weeks of dedicated workouts and a personalized diet plan, I transformed my body, dropping down to 163 lbs with 11.1% body fat! Coach Alvin's guidance was instrumental in my success. He not only improved my form and fitness levels but also held me accountable for my daily diet. The results were astounding, and I'm now the fittest I've ever been. More than that, I've learned discipline and healthy habits that will stay with me for life. Morph Fitness is not just a gym; it's a life-changing experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to achieve their fitness goals and embrace a healthier lifestyle.

If I could give 1000000 stars I totally would! I focused on improving my mental health and overall health the last few months. Morph Fitness (@morphfitnesssanmateo @waynepasang and Coach Alyssa (shaped_wellness) especially has helped me with the most difficult parts of weight loss which is the beginning phase where I would fall off my diet or didn't feel motivated to continue if I didn't see the scale change. This was the case for the last few years even though I consistently worked out 5x/day. Most importantly, I feel healthier, stronger, I have mental clarity (most of the time ), my clothes fit better, and I am 100% more present as a mom and partner! If you're looking for a lifestyle change or need that push I would definitely recommend Morph Fitness - I've done it all, fad diets, starving myself, working out too much, but at Morph I was able to learn how to live a balanced lifestyle!
