My name is Marcos Garces, a dedicated and passionate fitness professional with over 13 years of experience. I was born and raised in San Jose, California, and graduated from San Jose State University with a bachelor's degree in Kinesiology. From an early age, sports offered my brother and I a positive outlet, allowing us to stay focused, avoid negative peer pressure and influences prevalent in our neighborhood. Upon concluding my athletic career in collegiate football, I transitioned into my profession as a personal trainer, ultimately leading to the creation of Garces Fitness.

First and foremost, I became a trainer because of my love for sports and commitment to helping others. Fitness has significantly impacted my life both physically and mentally. My goal now is to pay it forward by empowering individuals to become the best version of themselves. I’ve worked with hundreds of clients across all ages and fitness levels. Whether you're a beginner looking to start your fitness journey, an athlete seeking to improve performance, or someone looking to stay in shape, I’m dedicated to helping you achieve your goals. I understand the uniqueness of each person’s needs and am committed to adapting my training approach to meet the specific demands of each client. I specialize in strength and conditioning, athletic performance, youth fitness, mobility, programming, and foundational movements.

Through my own experiences and lessons learned from fitness, I’ve developed a humble and compassionate approach to training. It would be an honor to help guide you toward a more positive and healthier lifestyle. Ready to start? Fill out the form on the 'Contact' tab and become a member of Garces Fitness today!
