I just completed the Thrive-In-5 assessment and training. They have a great program. It includes assessment of your current condition, developing a customized routine based on current goals & issues to be addressed, the environment is not intimidating for older adults, they provide clear expectations of goals for each exercise, encouragement is provided when tasks are performed correctly which is appreciated as a novice, they monitor progress and adjust as needed. I found all the staff I had contact with to be very warm and friendly. They do a good job presenting what is being offered with their program. Very high quality service!

Hi Cheryl! Thank you so much for participating in our Thrive-in-5 program, and for attending one of our monthly wellness clinics. We hope you found both to be beneficial, and that you can take what you learned forward in your fitness journey. Hope to see you again!

I started at Mint Fitness when I turned 50, looking to build real consistency in my workouts — something I'd struggled with for years. Two years in, that's exactly what I've gotten. Kyle has been a great trainer — he customizes my program around my actual goals rather than a generic template, and his nutrition and cardio guidance has made a real difference. The results have been measurable, and I'm in better shape now than I've been in a long time.

I have really enjoyed my experience with Mint. I started about six months ago, after being diagnosed with Parkinson's, with the goal of doing what I can to maintain my strength, flexibility and ability to function well. It's working. I feel stronger, and a lot of every-day things are easier - getting up and down, climbing stairs, getting in and out of cars, and the like. Working with Barry has been a real pleasure, as we figure out routines and exercises that work for me. The entire staff has been great.

Mint Condition has been a positive game changer for me and my overall health and well-being. From day one, I have felt heard and appreciated for both my goals and my unique challenges. The staff is amazing from the front desk to the coaches to the manager. I can’t say enough good things about Mint!

Hi Wendy! Thank you so much for the kind review. You are such a great addition to our Mint community, and seeing your progress has been really gratifying. Your positive attitude, dedication, and fun personality make every session a treat! Makes us wonder, did you wake up like this? Truly, you are one of one, you're number one, you're the only one ;)

Mint Condition Fitness of Los Gatos has been integral to my physical and mental strength after a six month illness accompanied by significant weight loss. I am delighted with the quality of personal trainers I have been privileged to work with two days per week. Chante designs my personal routine with attention to my posture, balance and strength. Both Chante and Michelle offer encouragement and attention to detail every fitness minute. In addition, the management and reception staff produce a healthy family-like atmosphere each and every training session. How lucky am I! Thank you Mint, Chante, Michelle, Hannah, Matt et. al. you are helping me create a “better” me.

I joined this gym recently with a very specific goal in mind: I’m 52 (almost 53), and it finally dawned on me that daily walking and dance cardio alone might not be enough to carry me gracefully (and strongly!) into the next few decades. Walking in for the first time, I’ll admit I was a little intimidated. It had been a long time since I’d lifted heavy weights. But what I found instead was an incredibly welcoming, supportive, and knowledgeable environment. No egos, no judgment - just coaches who actually know how to meet you where you are and help you get stronger safely (and without making you feel like you’ve made a terrible life choice mid-squat). I’ve been working with my trainer, Kyle, and he has been fantastic. He’s supportive, encouraging, and somehow manages to push me just the right amount (even when I’m silently questioning my life choices during a pull-up set). He creates a new workout for me every six sessions, which keeps things interesting and he ensures I’m always progressing. He also does monthly body composition assessments, which means we’re tracking real data. And here’s the amazing part: in just five weeks, my muscle mass has increased and my body fat has decreased. Actual results! At 52! I honestly didn’t expect things to change this quickly, but it’s incredibly motivating - and maybe a little addictive. What I appreciate most is the thoughtful, personal programming and attention to form. I feel challenged, but also confident I’m doing things correctly. If you’re someone who’s been active but knows it’s time to add strength training - especially as you get older - I can’t recommend this place enough. It’s empowering, it’s effective, and it turns out you’re capable of a lot more than you think… even if you occasionally need a pep talk between sets.

Anne, what a lovely and thoughtful review! You really have made incredible strides in the short time you've been with Mint. And Kyle has much more planned for you, because your progress opened up all kinds of new avenues for your training. We can't wait to see what triumphs you attain next!

I was never an athlete, nor inclined towards sports or physical activity of any type. In fact I didn't go to exercise classes voluntarily until I retired. Because of my Parkinson's diagnosis, exercise is now essential to keep my movement disorder symptoms at bay. My daughter researched local facilities that offer good exercise programs for us locally and landed at Mint Condition Fitness. I'm so glad she did! It's a welcoming, clean, and fully equipped facility, well managed by Max Ferrero. Most importantly, I have been partnered with an exceptional Personal Trainer, Chante Sims Derose. Chante helps me set performance goals regularly, defining ever increasingly difficult exercise programs to push me, strengthen my body and increase my stamina. He demonstrates each activity in my program for me, watches me like a hawk as I work on each activity, and is quick to provide both corrective and positive feedback throughout each exercise session. He'd adapt activities to what will stretch but not overwhelm me and is always encouraging. He has now extended his coaching to what I eat, when... it's looking like he's moving me towards a lifestyle change! Having worked with Chante about 7 months now, I feel very fortunate to have him as my personal trainer, not only because he's such a pro at what he does, but also because he genuinely wants me to and will do his best to help me achieve my goals. In fact, I know that Mint's program, with Chante as my personal trainer, is working for me because my movement disorder physical therapist declared my progress is, "same or better in every category" during my annual assessment! He added, "you don't need physical therapy, keep doing what you're doing!" That is validation, indeed!

Hi Elizabeth! It's been such a pleasure working with you these past 8 months. A big shout out to your daughter Deanna for getting you going on this journey! Let her know we miss her around these parts.

You've made great changes to your strength, health, and balance under Chanté's guidance. And we're delighted to hear that your physical therapist feels the same way! Being able to help you retain your vitality and spark is an honor for us. Let's keep this ball rolling ;)

I joined the Mint after Max gave a compelling presentation at the LGSRecration Center on maintaining fitness as one ages. The Mint is where I met Barry who became my trainer- I was having difficulties with balance, stamina and strength. Barry coaches me through exercises specifically designed to work on my problem areas as well as overall strength. When I have difficulty with a routine, he patiently explains why it is in the program and which muscles are involved- if those muscles are not doing exactly what is required Barry works with me to make adjustments until the desired result is achieved. I am very appreciative of his patience and knowledge.

Mint Condition has been great for me! I have been a member for 3 months and have been working out 2 times a week with Kari. She customizes all my workouts and is so encouraging. I have gotten stronger, have better posture and feel so much better functionally- whether it is just getting up off the floor, going up and down stairs, playing softball with my granddaughter or putting a suitcase in the airplane overhead. I look forward to going to the gym and working out with Kari!! All the staff is great. I highly recommend Mint Fitness!

I’ve been working with Mint for a while now and I can’t recommend them enough. They bring great energy to every session, keep me accountable, and actually make working out something I look forward to. They pay attention to what I need and push me just the right amount. If you’re looking for a trainer who genuinely cares about your progress, look no further.

My husband and I have been at Mint Conditions for 8 months now. We wanted to share our progress with others. We were getting up in years and just felt out of shape. We couldn’t get down and up from the floor quickly. We just felt we were losing our muscle mass and energy and didn’t like that, especially since we have two grandchildren to keep up with. My husband has increased his muscle mass, lost fat, his endurance and overall strength has improved, and his V02 Max is higher. One benefit he wasn’t expecting was how his fingers, which were bent with issues from carpal tunnel syndrome, have straighten out with the grip training he is receiving and his overall grip strength has improved. I am doing well too. I have lost fat, gained muscle, improved my endurance and strength as well. I can take deeper breaths and feel better. We are very glad we joined when we did because we feel so much better and have been helping family in ways we couldn’t before. It has been nice to come together so we can encourage each other, share our challenges together, and know we are both getting better together to enjoy our lives as we more forward. Mint has the staff, individual training plans, and facilities that have made this happen for us. We are grateful. Original review: My husband and I felt we really needed to get back in shape and we weren't getting any younger. The program for those over 55 years old offered at Mint sounded like what we were looking for. In 2 months, we already feel healthier and stronger. We have applied what we have learned and, with our new strength, we were able to help do heavy lifting and moving of large and heavy boxes of books. We did it without any problems! We are really seeing a difference quickly, and look forward to meeting our goals we have laid out for ourselves. The plans, staff and equipment are helping us make it happen.

Thank you Joyce! We’re so glad that you and your husband found us and are already feeling stronger and healthier after just two months...that’s fantastic progress! 💪

It’s especially rewarding to hear how your new strength is showing up in real-life situations (like lifting all those heavy boxes!). That’s exactly what functional fitness is all about.

We’re excited to keep supporting you both on your journey, and can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!

I was encouraged by family to find a personal trainer to improve my overall health & fitness which led me to Mint Fitness.What a great place! The first thing, prior to signing any contract, is to give you a thought evaluation to assess your needs & health concerns. A personalized workout is developed & customized to your needs & changed monthly by your trainer. You are tested monthly with an InBody Scan to check progress of losing visceral fat, gaining muscle. The gym is welcoming, friendly, clean & accommodating. Hanna, at the front desk is marvelous & is a champ accommodating schedule changes. My trainer/coach was Kyle who is absolutely the best…knowledgeable, encouraging & patient. He was continually assessing my workout & making changes if needed. I feel my generalized fitness has improved & I’ve gained strength & definitely improved my balance. I would highly recommend Mint Fitness to anyone looking to improve themselves with caring & supportive help.

Hi Carolyn! Thank you so much for the glowing review. We all enjoyed working with you and seeing your improvements at Mint. Kyle had a great time changing up your challenges to keep you engaged and progressing. And of course we loved your Friday routine of your strength workout followed by "spa day" -- the red light and leg compression therapies. That's how you maximize your hard work! ;) Thank you again for the great write-up and for being such a good example of our Mint community!

I joined Mint Condition 4 months ago. At the time, I was wary of joining a gym because I have always been intimitated by the gym atmosphere and the feeling that I did not know what to do to reach the results that I wanted. The atmosphere at Mint, their unique philosophy, and my trainer Chante have changed my mindset. I'm excited to go every time and Chante makes the hard work seem like fun. He is knowlegeable and very in tune to my unique needs. When I've had issues flare up, he knows exactly what to do to keep me on track. I'm grateful every day. Thank you Chante and the people at Mint!

Hilary Siemer 2026.03.25

     

Joining the Mint is one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. After having basically shelved my fitness routine for many years, I ended up gaining weight, losing strength, and feeling generally dismissive of my body, and ashamed of my choices. I've only been training at the Mint for about four months now, but am already experiencing several positive results. I've improved my BMI (losing an inch or so from my waist-yay!) and my blood pressure is much improved. Most importantly, I have more energy and feel great! And, all this has happened with my basic membership of twice a week. I complement the workouts as I can at home, but I am no gym-rat. Kyle has been fantastic as a personal trainer. He listens to my goals and tailors a program to meet my needs, yet within my imitations. He is always asking for feedback so he can modify as needed. Exercises are changed bi-weekly to avoid boredom and challenge muscles in new ways. Not only is he a supportive and motivating coach, he is a fun person with whom I enjoy being around. Actually, all the coaches and support staff are upbeat and friendly. I feel very comfortable at the facility, with clients around my own age, with similar goals. The Mint is a great place!

Don't miss the last 3rd of your life! Mint is uniquely impactful. At 64, I feel better every day than I did in my 20s when I was a runner. I’ve gone from 173 lbs to 133 lbs, I can balance on one leg to put on a sock and shoe, and my flexibility, mobility, balance, and strength are all better than they were decades ago. Three years ago, I joined Mint Condition Fitness because I kept falling and injuring myself. At 61, I just felt old and limited, and was worried I’d be in a walker before I knew it. I have great insurance to help when I'm ill or injured: Mint makes me feel great the other 360 days of the year. What has impressed me most is the consistency of the experience. The staff at Mint have stayed current with skills, knowledgeable, upbeat, inclusive, and genuinely thoughtful. They’ve continued to create workouts that are varied, interesting, and that evolve as my capacities improve, so I’m always challenged but never overwhelmed. For anyone 50+ who wants real, sustainable impact in how they move and feel every day, Mint is the answer. I look forward to going, I miss it when I can’t, and I’m deeply grateful for how much the quality of my day to day life has improved.

This gym is the best! Clean, well equipped, and never crowded. Most people are over 50, so you don’t have to worry about gym bros or influencers making videos. Classes are private or in small groups. You get personalized routines and supervision. Their emphasis is on a total picture of health, not just “looking good”. Everyone I’ve met is friendly, and the trainers are awesome (Barry is particularly excellent). If you’re serious about feeling healthier and stronger with less pain, this is the place for you.

My experience at Mint Condition Fitness has been excellent. All the trainers, especially my trainer Chante, are very knowledgeable and patient. The exercise program is tailor-made to fit each individual's requirements. In addition to regular workout classes, Mint also offers body scans regularly to help us to analyze our muscle and fat condition. Besides that Mint has a nutrition consultation program.
