History

Established in 2003.

After my DVC (Diablo Valley College) experience in the training room and my DVC certificate in Personal training, I then moved to San Francisco and I got a job at a gym in Colma, CA. After I left the gym I got a call from an old prospective client who was ready to start working out. She really wanted my help. She had an old injury in her hamstring that never got better and she wanted my help to get started. So I started Forsyth Personal Training and started with that first client. I showed her how to take care of her hamstring and to work on her fitness at the same time. Now I’m back in the east bay and growing my business while helping Clients manage their fitness and there injuries. Call me if you need help.

Business Owner

In High School I started studying Athletic Training and Physical Therapy. I got a certificate from Regional Ocupation, through Mt. Diablo Adult Education in 1993. I volunteered at my mentors clinic, Center for Sports Medicine in Walnut Creek. I started taking classes at DVC for Athletic Training, Physical Therapy and worked in the school Training Room under the head Athletic Training Coach with over 200 inter-​collegic athletes. I covered practice, home and away games. Helping with injury evaluations, rehabilitation, taping and strapping, and equipment fitting.

Also while at DVC I took a certificate of class for Personal Training.

Then I took a break from school and moved to San Francisco. I got a job at a gym in the south bay as a Personal Trainer. I did not like management and their lack of motivation to really help people so I quit and started «Forsyth Personal Training». I moved back to the east bay got married and now I want the world to be healthy! Call me if you want motivation.

Wow! Here is a professional healer in the health world that not only cares about your well being, but also has an incredible and diverse knowledge about the muscular system and how it needs to be used to prevent injuries. He has been me & my husband’s go-​to guy for injury prevention at Diablo Rock Gym. Stanley teaches a class using foam rollers, tennis balls, golf balls and therapeutic tools to help get your body back in shape, no matter what age you are. This class has been a life saver. I have been a swimmer for years and have never had the confidence to adventure into rock climbing, running and other high impact or weight bearing exercises due to tendon straining in my joints. Stanley teaches specific stretching to your personal needs. He helps you know your system and how to take care of it. Do yourself a favor and call him. Your fitness goals will be attainable before you know it. It may not look like you think. You may need someone to literally point out those obstacles and get your muscles talking when they have been screaming for too long… or asleep… in a cave. .hybernating for years… growl. Time to move those feet like a deer on that high mountain, able to leap and jump without fear!!!

It’s time for another review! I have been working with Stan for 3 years now and thingd are great. Over this time, Stan has helped me overcome several injuries, work through osteoarthritis, and figure out how to work on weight loss. Stan has a great attitude and is really in tune with what works for me and what doesn’t. Also, Stan has kept our sessions fresh and challenging by introducing new work outs and new ideas. I appreciate his holistic approach, which incorporates all aspects of health and focuses on my overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Stan to anyone who is looking for a health «partner».

I came to Stanley after having a slipped disc and bum knee. After training with him I’ve gained a wider range of motion and a pain free knee, I also came away with a better understanding of my own body and also a new friend .
If you have some lingering injuries his approach will strengthen and fix that area. He’ll also fix the rest of your body so you can hit your fitness goals. Can’t build a house without a good foundation.

I started working with Stan after tearing a ligament in my foot while doing ballet. After being told by two doctors that the only way to heal was probably through surgery, I found Stan. He not only showed me exercises to strengthen the muscles around my injury, but also gave me exercises for the parts of my body that were out of alignment due to compensating for the injury. He works with your whole system rather than only focusing on the injured or weaker part. When one things goes wrong, it affects everything else. He is as knowledgeable as any doctor I’ve worked with, if not more so. At first, I was hesitant about working with a man, but he’s particularly good with women. Although he pushed me really hard when he knew I could do the work, he was also calm and encouraging at the same time. I now call the exercises my «Stan Exercises» and still do them, even though I’ve moved out of the area.

Stanley is fantastic! I am/​was recovering from pelvic fractures and Stan had so many great suggestions and options to offer to keep me active as I healed. He has a great background and incorporates all of his training and knowledge to really create a program that works for his clients. His training approaoch is not about muscle alone — but adapts activities and workouts to individual needs.

Stanley Forsyth and his regular «Balance Class» at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, Walnut Creek, CA, along with Weight Watchers have turned my life around. My pain management doctor wants to meet Stanley Forsyth now that I go to my regular pain medicine visits without pain and have had a reduced my pain medication. I have had chronic lower back pain (spondilolythesis of L4 and L5) and have been treated for it for more than 12 years. Since beginning to go to regular «Balance Class» and beginning to loose weight I live PAIN FREE almost all the time. Stanley’s holistic approach to physical therapy has many of the same type of exercises I have been given in many other prescribed therapy sessions, but makes them easy to do without anything but a chair to sit it and stand behind and a wall to walk along. Most exercises can be done any where and any time.

The name Balance Class fits exactly what I need. Most of my worst pain has come after my falling down. I have osteopenia and my mother has osteoperosis. I thought, «What if I could balance better and not fall down?!» So I joined the once a week class. From toe to head, Stanley teaches us simple exercises that strengthen the entire body so that it will be strengthened and balanced. And if you loose your balance you also have the strength to right yourself again without falling! Stanley does other individual therapy with injured persons. And gives individual help to those of us in the Balance Class. I would highly recommend Stanley Forsyth as a physical therapist to others.

I met Stan at the Diablo Rock Gym where we are both members. We know the same people at the gym and Stan heard I had sprained my ankle recently while climbing in Yosemite. Without any hesitation he did a cursory examination of my ankle for me and gave me exercises to start with and advance to as it healed. It took maybe 10 minutes for him to go over everything with me but I’ve been doing these exercises and getting results! I would definitely recommend Forsyth Personal Training, they know their stuff and are the kind of people that are in the business because they want to help others get back up and feel better again.
