Sante Wellness and Personal Training - Del Mar, California

Wesley Lauer

As a former PT studio owner myself, I highly recommend this facility to any fitness or wellness professionals looking for a home base for their services. The studio is always immaculate, the equipment is new and in fantastic condition, and the environment is friendly and welcoming. All of the staff are professional and the owner, Sahand, takes great pride in the operation as a whole. Additionally, the location is top-notch and there is more than adequate parking. If you're a health or fitness professional, look no further than Santé for all of your business needs!

I am 53 years old with a lower back condition that would sometimes prevent me from participating in a physical fitness. Sahand is my personal trainer at The Movement Engineer, meeting twice a week. He has created great workouts that allow me to improve my upper body strength, flexibility and balance. The fitness programs meet my needs to keep active, along with keeping me safe from injury. Sahand is fantastic to work with and really helps me meet my fitness goals. Love the workout area. It is very clean and excellent equipment (even an outdoor workout area). I would recommend anyone who would like to improve their fitness to work with Sahand at The Movement Engineer.

I wish I could give more stars. Sahand, the movement engineer, help me with my sciatic pain and two herniated disc. I had herniated two disc doing Pilates. I was in pain for about two weeks in and out of seeing PT and massage therapist. Which was helping but not really getting rid of the pain. It was more temporary. I booked with the movement engineer a week before I was unknowingly going to be in the hospital from this sciatic pain. I went to different PT on a Monday and whatever they did, set something horrible off of my body. The pain was beyond unbearable and I was in the hospital. I luckily the next day had an appointment with the movement engineer. After my after my visit with Sahand not only could I walk but I was in zero pain. This still the stay blows my mind. I was in the hospital on so much medicine on an IV drip for pain. I was told by the hospital to take oxycodone and other heavy drugs to deal with my pain and to just rest. The movement engineer did very simple, gentle movements to get me out of pain. It was beyond amazing. I learned so much about my C-section and how my core after my C-section never really healed properly. Because nobody ever told me any of that. And how my lack of a strong core was the result of my injury. Even though my C-section was eight years ago. Thankful doesn't even begin to describe how happy I am I found the movement engineer.

I am now working with Sahand as my personal trainer and he is brilliant. He knows how to make you work without pushing too hard. He had beyond helped me heal and become strong

My experience at Sante has been absolutely wonderful.

I have had many injuries as an athlete, and also have hyper-mobility issues. With some long standing issues in my feet, my knee, my neck, and my back, I've tried a lot of different types of therapies and healing, but working with Sahand (the owner) is the first time I'm seeing things actually get fixed and have that stick.

He understands the body and has consistently been able to know exactly where the root of pain or discomfort or misalignment is happening in my body, and what to do to release it / realign it. I appreciate as well that not only does a lot get done in session, but that he also gives me specific exercises and movements to do outside of our sessions to support my strength goals and my endurance training.

I highly recommend Sahand (and all the trainers and healers at Sante!) to anyone who is looking to truly heal and feel great in their body without having to sacrifice the sports and activities you love.

Roughly two months into training here and love it. The facility itself is great; has all the necessities but not overly crowded with too much gear. Wyatt Duncan is my guy there and the improvements I've made in the time we've worked together are well beyond expectation. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to make some strides in their personal fitness journey.

Sante is my favorite place for personal training and wellness. It’s a welcoming and approachable environment, complete with a comprehensive menu of services to help reach your wellness and fitness goals. I love the space itself, including the indoor and outdoor facilities.

I’ve worked with the owner, Sahand, for more than 4 years now. I’m extremely grateful for his approach to helping me to remedy pain from previous injuries through rehab and strength training. And, very importantly, Sahand also helps me to overcome my weekly apathy for exercising by knowing how to motivate and challenge me. I work with him twice a week and plan to continue along this regimen indefinitely.

Sahand is extremely knowledgeable, personable and professional. He cares very much about the work he does and will help you to change your life for the better. Plus, while the workouts push me to get stronger, we also have a lot of fun working together!

I first started seeing Sahand in 2018. I didn’t know what to expect or if I was going to like the whole personal trainer thing. I can honestly say it was the best decision I have ever made regarding my overall health and wellness.

When I first walked into the gym with Sahand I weighed 260 lbs. I was the heaviest I have been in my life. After sitting down and making a plan that worked for me consisting of 2x per week workouts and a healthier lifestyle he helped me get down to 185-190 lbs. The best shape of my life.

The workouts are always mixed up with something new so he keeps you on your toes and motivated- making the gym fun again. When you enjoy going to the gym it makes everything easier- that’s what Sahand does.

I highly recommend Sahand if you’re looking to get in shape while having a great time doing it.
