DIAKADI Fitness Performance Life

Diakadi is by far the best gym I've been to in SF! From the minute you step into their wonderful facility, you feel welcomed, free of judgment, and incredibly well supported by all the staff. They have a lot of different equipment, there's plenty of space, and everything is kept extremely clean. If you're considering personal training, this is the place to come. Training with Anthony has been one of the best decisions I've made in my fitness journey. He's very attentive to my fitness goals and eager to help me achieve them in an intentional, methodical way. Anthony put a lot of thought and care into my workout plan that factors in my injury recovery and exercises to build my strength. He's also helped me with my confidence in the gym and makes every training session enjoyable to do. I can't thank him enough for reigniting my passion for fitness and shaping my new journey. Thank you very much Anthony, and the whole Diakadi team!

I could not be more grateful to have met Tommy Armenta and to have the chance to work with him. Over the last ten years, I have come to him twice in physically rough shape -- and each time he has rebuilt me into someone stronger than I ever thought possible. The first time was due to serious back problems, even after going to physical therapy. The second was after having a baby, when I could barely climb a set of stairs. Tommy met me exactly where I was and, day after day, helped rebuild me. He has this incredible superpower - that when something in your body isn't working quite right, he has a Mr. Miyagi way of getting it back into alignment. He combines deep foundational knowledge of the body with an incredible understanding of the connection between muscles and the nervous system, all grounded in a calm, steady presence that pushes you further than you think you can go. He knows how to challenge you right to your physical and mental edge without ever putting you at risk -- and in the process, shows you what you're truly capable of. He is truly one of a kind.

I’ve been working with Roland Borys at DIAKADI for about two years and I can’t recommend him highly enough. I originally started training with him to address back pain and with a long-term focus on longevity and getting more out of my workouts. Since then, Roland has been instrumental not just in improving my physical health, but in helping me maintain balance and consistency in my life overall. He’s thoughtful, highly knowledgeable, and takes a truly individualized approach, adapting every training session to how I’m feeling and what my body needs. With Roland, my workouts are more effective and I feel stronger and more resilient than I have in years. Beyond the gym and the workouts, he emphasizes the importance of good sleep, nutrition, and healthy habits as part of a sustainable lifestyle.

I’ve been working with Jo Joy at Diakadi for 8 months now, and she’s amazing. I was getting back to exercise postpartum and was super prone to back injuries. Jo devised a program that helped me build that strength back, and I am now well on my way to achieving my goals. I’ve lost weight and built a lot of strength, and best of all, I can now deadlift a toddler without hurting my back. 😄. I’ve been nervous about gyms in the past, but Jo is so encouraging and kind in her approach, I am a total gym convert.

Randy Miranda ----- I have been working with Randy for almost 4 years. In that time, besides being funny, friendly, and supportive as a person, he has shown himself to be a very knowledgeable and adaptive trainer. He has a deep well of capability that has been able to help me build muscle and cardio capacity when I have been healthy and to have a magician's touch for bodywork and unlimited repertoire of exercises when I needed physical therapy when injured. Every session is customized to me, based on how I feel and how my body feels - Randy always knows the right thing to say and what my body needs. I really look forward to every appointment, and I hate to contemplate what my body might feel like or my mobility might be without him.
