Your Peloton is now a coat rack.

You paid for a gym membership for 8 months after you stopped going.

You tried a class with 40 people. The instructor never learned your name.

No guessing.Someone is always watching your form.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian is extremely knowledgable in his arts. The cues he gives just clicks for me and addresses problems I've had for so long. He gives individualized variations for all levels as well as hands on assistance. You know how rare this is if you‘ve been to a few studios.

I’ve been coming here for three months and it’s been great. I’ve never been to a yoga studio where the teacher consistently corrects your form to make sure you’re engaging the right muscles and preventing injuries. I’m recovering from ACL reconstruction, and coming here regularly has really helped with rebuilding my stability. I also see other people with injuries or mobility issues, and Brian is great about offering modifications so you can get the most out of the practice while minimizing risk.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Body Tonic SF is a life saver and a safe space for selfcare. I live in San Leandro but pet/house sit in SF every summer, and the studio has been a refuge for me and. something I look forward to. Although, Im still a beginner, Brian is patient and meets me where I am, gently guiding, helping me get stronger. Im appreciative of the patience, grace and kindness shared by everyone at the studio, but especially by Brian. Don't believe me? Sign up and find out.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I feel exceptionally excited about my Body Tonic yoga course. Everything about the room is perfect. The diversity in the room is a great representation of San Francisco. I don’t feel overwhelmed by the heat, it’s just right.  The instructor is very attentive, professional, and knowledgeable. I’m really enjoying my experience.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brian is fantastic and has helped me so much on my PT journey. He is super mindful of modifications and keeps a close eye on all his students to make sure their form is correct. When I went, I felt like I had never truly gone to a yoga class until I went to Brian’s at Body Tonic. Couldn’t recommend enough!

 Verified Body Tonic SF has been a transformative part of my health and wellness journey.

As someone who studied Public and Holistic Health for over a decade, I still have struggled with implementing and maintaining a consistent, dynamic and effective physical exercise routine into my daily living.

During a class assignment, I was directed to set a personal health goal and commit to a 30-day health challenge.
That's when I discovered Body Tonic SF, and I'm so grateful I gave it a try.

Brian Monnier's realistic and personalized approach to wellness made all the difference. Having faced my own challenges with eating and body image disorders, the combination of yoga and individual lift sessions at Body Tonic has become instrumental in my journey toward wellness. His program also includes unique tools for eating healthy and determining one's food type (carb, protein or mixed).

I'm proud to share that I successfully completed the 30-day challenge, attending classes 3-4 times a week.

Furthermore, beyond that, I found myself motivated to increase my frequency and explore other forms of exercise in the months that followed.
Since March, I've lost about eight pounds, toned up, and built muscle. More importantly, my relationship with my body has significantly improved.

While this is a lifelong journey, I know that regular yoga and lift sessions at Body Tonic will remain an essential part of my overall wellness.
I would encourage everyone to give it a try. He frequently has introductory specials and is one of the few teachers in SF who has been teaching this long, running his own studio.

 Verified I have been doing yoga for decades...it prevented some of my injuries (i.e. bunions) but I still had some big ones I could not fix (i.e. sciatica). I was just trying to figure out how to take the next step and lo and behold I walked past BodyTonicSF. I emailed and Brian responded right away helping me talk it through. I signed up for the 12week transformation course, which both felt amazing and showed me where I need to start making changes. I then signed up for the annual membership and am well on my way to long-term healing and fitness. Brian is super good at explaining what's going on physically and mentally. I am so glad I have found the right place to set myself up for a healthy body for the next 30 or 40 years of my life. If you are looking for that extra something you need to move past your fitness or health challenges, this is it!

 Verified Brian is the best - he has his own system and can be a tough coach, and the results really speak for themselves. My friends commented on my new glow after a workout with Brian.
