I joined the Premise back in August 2024 because of my best friend. Over the pandemic I had gained weight and couldn't seem to get rid of it. The mix of HIIT, cardio, strength training and boxing at this gym has helped me lose 10lbs so far. Coach Mike has been super supportive, giving knowledge on taking care of injuries and preventing them. He pushes us in each class, changing the format of workouts every few weeks to keep us on our toes. His boxing drills get me every time, and I feel my strength increasing. Coach Paul focuses on form and function, and my pushups have improved immensely since last August. He makes sure we are doing moves safely and effectively. He asks what we'd like to learn and makes it happen. His workouts may seem easy at a glance but by the end of class you are gassed lol. I'm so glad to have joined the Premise gym, I've made many new friends and look forward to leveling up even more!

If you're searching for a new place to try group workouts, this is the place. It always feels like training with close friends here and it's because of the welcoming and friendly environment. The sessions are unique, fun and infused with great music. It's actually part of The Premise's DNA to interweave musicality and self expression to the training programs, which feels like a departure from the big name gyms that feel more transactional, uninspired and overwhelmingly crowded with people. Coach Mike is a helluva motivator too. The place thrives on the positive energy he gives to the sessions and he also gives knowledge and motivation for your overall health when it comes to day to day life. Great location+Positive People+Dope Music = great formula for getting healthy!

for kids. Qualified and experienced instructors are crucial. They should be able to teach techniques safely and help build confidence while ensuring kids understand the importance of discipline and respect in martial arts. Many kids benefit from martial arts classes in terms of building self-discipline, focus, and self-confidence. The coaches understand this and is one of the reasons my kid goes to premise.

I signed up recently and already got the full on Premise experience. The coaches have a deeper understanding when it comes to forms and workout practices. I’ve worked out with weights for many years, so I wanted to try something else. Premise gym is the answer for me! I would recommend anyone who wants to challenge their mind, body, and soul(rhythm) to head out to The Premise Strength + Performance!

I started working out with The Premise when they started as an app in 2020. I was so intrigued with the program because it fused my favorite things to do: music + meditation and it was a great way to keep me motivated to do workouts! Fastforward to now, I am so happy to join again and be able to workout in person with others! I did struggle in the beginning and had a hard time keeping up, but about a month in, I’ve already built more endurance! Mike incorporates drums into his workouts. It’s such a blast to have a unique workout that is catered for us musicians! I do value the community they create which helps keep me motivated and inspired to keep going.

I really enjoy the HIIT classes ran by Coach Mike P. I haven't done HIIT classes in a few years ever since COVID (got kinda lazy) so I've been trying to get myself back on track. I really enjoy the variety that are in these HIIT classes, and I feel that Coach Mike P really gets involved with his students. There are some days where I'm having difficulties with certain moves due to a strain from bouldering, and he'll be able to assist with a modification and some stretches/exercises to help get me back on track. He's really knowledgeable and listens. I also really like the community / culture of these classes. Highly recommend!

I just started attending the Rhythm & Burn classes 2 weeks ago and I love it! I enjoy getting a good workout while listening to good music. I also love the community and how supportive everyone is of each other and sharing our love of music and being healthy at the same time.

So Proud of my younger brother Mike! We have life talks, reminiscent talks, and now at my age a lot of health and fitness talks. I weighed 220lbs this time last year's superbowl. Today I'm weighing in at 185lbs. I live in Sacramento, my brother would always check on my progress. Having a Coach like him to keep me accountable, from intermittent fasting and his meal recommendations and Attending his work out sessions in San Jose and also doing his work outs from home. Love you brother! Couldn't have done it without you.

Coaches are knowledgeable, friendly and very supportive. I love their unique approach to fitness by incorporating percussion instruments and kickboxing drills into their workouts. If you’re looking for a good balance of strength and conditioning, The Premise is the place to be!

I started training at The Premise in October 2024, doing personal Muay Thai sessions twice a week with Coach Mike, along with group classes - one day of strength training and one day of Rhythm + Burn.

Normally, getting motivated to go to the gym can be tough, but Rhythm + Burn, with its energetic music and supportive gym community, makes it feel more like a party! You're still working hard --doing squats, curls, rowing and more -- but the beat of the music and the energy in the room keeps it fun and exciting.

Over a year later, I'm still consistently training in personal Muay Thai sessions with Coach Mike. He doesn't just teach me how to punch and kick with the correct form -- he explains why proper technique matters, which has made a huge difference in my progress. He also checks in regularly, asking about my water intake and encouraging me to add extra workouts on my own to build endurance and strength.

One thing that really sets Coach Mike apart is his ability to tailor his coaching to each client's unique body type, strengths, and personal goals.

No matter which class you take, whether it's Muay Thai, strength training, or Rhythm + Burn, the result is the same: feeling healthier, stronger, and more confident.

I highly recommend Coach Mike and The Premise. He truly cares about his clients -- whether it's through diet and hydration check-ins, pushing you to rack up more weights, or even supporting your personal business ventures outside the gym. His dedication goes far beyond just training sessions.
