Davis Strength & Conditioning - Davis (CA)

2 /5 Nathan Jones: I did a lot of personal training sessions with Coach Matt a few years ago. He was mediocre as a teacher. I later realized he failed to catch an obvious mistake in my form — which eventually caused me a back injury after years of training incorrectly. The facility and equipment were old. Their price was cheaper than other gyms in the area. I guess you get what you pay for.

5 /5 Tom L.: Great facility, clean and well-maintained with respectful and friendly gym goers. Staff is excellent too. I’ve been getting personal training with Coach Matt for the past two, nearly three years and have been able to hit my goals and then some. Even though I’ve moved away from Davis now I still get online coaching and programming from Coach Matt; he’s just that good.

5 /5 Jasmine Esparza: I am so thankful to have found Davis Strength & Conditioning! I have been attending the group workout classes since May 2025 and I am bummed I didn’t start earlier. It is truly a STRENGTH & conditioning class. We work with the barbell almost every class and my knowledge & confidence of movements has skyrocketed. I am hitting PRs that seemed completely out of reach when I first started. Words cannot describe how motivating, knowledgeable, patient, supportive, down-to-earth, and friendly coaches, Lydia , Matt & Yijie are. Despite being in a group workout class, the classes are small enough that it’s basically 1 on 1 coaching. You’ll never have to worry that you’re doing a move incorrectly or how to modify a move if you’re injured. I recommend trying that first free class to anyone who is even slightly considering joining. I greatly appreciate that there are many women who go to Davis S&C, so I don’t feel out of place. The community is super supportive and encouraging. This is the one private gym that I feel is truly a strength gym and no class feels like it’s repetitive. Davis S&C is worth every penny! I cannot recommend this gym enough!!!

5 /5 Leslie C.: I am 66 and have been going to Davis S&C’s senior class for over two years. I not only feel stronger than I did before starting the class, I feel stronger than I did in my 50s. The improvement in my balance is also huge, which matters especially after being diagnosed with osteoporosis. The coach/trainer, Lydia, clearly describes and demonstrates each activity and observes and gently corrects any flaws in our form. She is aware of each person’s weak areas and provides substitute activities to ensure that no one hurts themselves. This class, the circuits set by the owner of the gym, and Lydia’s coaching both challenge and motivate me. I am very lucky to have found it.

5 /5 Sandia Kao: I joined the senior class only 4 month (since May 2025), my physical health has significant improved through increased strength, balance and flexibility. Big thanks to our coach Lydia for always wearing a big smile, words of encouragement, and for rotating and focusing on the target muscle for each workout which effectively gain better results.
