Trainers near Altadena

“This review is long overdue. I've been seeing Stephanie for years. Yes, she's the best pilates teacher, but I feel that designation still doesn't describe all of what she brings. Stephanie has helped me really come home to my own body in both awareness and movement. She's truly taught me how to "use the whole system" through her playful, creative, and dynamic approach. On top of her pilates expertise, her experience and intuition about each person's unique body is a true gift. Also, she hosts AWESOME workshops with really special guests at her studio. Thank you, Stephanie!“

“Wow! Who would have thought 20-30 minutes would give me the results I wanted AND needed?!! I've worked with two of their trainers, and they were fabulous. This gym is unlike any other. For my workout, I was the only one there--that's how they do it. It makes it such a personally tailored experience. They have a secret sauce that has changed every strength-training workout since. Oh, and by the way, I'm over 65 years old, and this is the best shape I've in been in, well, let's say, decades. Don't hesitate, go!!! (you can find this review in Yelp, as well)“

“I have been a Strength Shoppe client for more than 10 years. As a result, even though I have acute osteoporosis, I entered my 60s much much stronger than I entered my 50s, and I continue to make gains. I can spend a day cleaning out a closet or the garage - bending, lifting, climbing, reaching - and be pain free the next day. All of Melinda’s trainers are focused, conscientious professionals and great human beings. I highly recommend The Strength Shoppe.“

“I have been going to Carina’s for 3 years now. My session is an hour and starts with 10 minutes of cardio, followed by core, then arms/legs etc. A few people come in every half hour and so there ends up being around 3-6 people working out at any given time. But she prescribes different exercises for each person based on your individual strength and needs. I started going here toward the end of the pandemic because she diligently wipes down all the machine after each person uses it. One of the best things about Carina’s is she creates a very friendly and social environment. It’s the reason I have been so consistent about my two times per week! Everyone enjoys talking to each other and I look forward to catching up with my new friends all the time! She offers sessions Mon/Wed evenings and most mornings.“

“Lifestyles for Health Physical Therapy - Cindy's clinic, gave me the comfort and mobility that I was very fearful of not having after a trip and fall injury to my arm. My therapist, Shiva, made the entire process so much more comforting and welcoming. She made sure that in all aspects of recovery, I was secured. Each exercise was explained, and most importantly, she made sure to ask how I felt before and after the treatments. You would never leave your appointment without feeling better.“

“Jeremy is very organized, communicative, kind, mindful, and skilled in what he does. It was my first ever stretch session and it felt very healing. Will be going back, and I highly recommend. In fact, I was thinking of all the friends and family who would benefit from Jeremy's care!“

“There are only good things I can say about YouMove and Dr. Haig. I was in a car accident and was being treated by a different chiropractor for a whole year without any improvement or resolution of my pain. I was referred to Dr. Haig late last year and I couldn’t be happier. Within 10 visits I already noticed my pain was about 90% gone. Dr. Haig is extremely knowledgeable and actually cares about looking into and diving deep into your issues, compared to other chiropractors who just adjust you in the same place every week and tell you to have a good day. He utilizes many different techniques and is not limited in the type of care he can provide you. The facility itself is also very clean and inviting. I could not recommend any other chiropractor more than Dr. Haig.“

“I started with Jason 3 months ago and the results have been fantastic. I can’t wait to continue and increase my strength and performance.“

“Don't bother going anywhere else. This is the BEST place for Physical Therapy. From therapists to office staff, they give the highest level of professional, personal and effective care. The environment is upbeat and friendly. I recently had shoulder surgery; my team in the Glendale center, headed up by the amazing Armand, DPT. with Josue and Hunter assisting was the highest quality. My team was incredibly knowledgable, encouraging, and supportive, and healed me in record time. Unlike some other companies, at Aspire your PT is responsible for your case from start to finish; they are there with you hands-on every session. Elizabeth in the office is quickly available to handle scheduling issues and fantastic at fitting everyone in, which is a really big deal when you're hurting and needing care. Also, Aspire has several venues.... our son went to the LaCanada office after knee surgery; their hands-on manipulation, exercises and guidance made a difference with each session. Honestly, we've been given referrals to other PT companies because they are "in-system". We give them a try but after 2 or 3 sessions of big-medicine, impersonal factory treatment, where we leave the office hurting as much as when we went in, we're back at Aspire for their personal, knowledgable and professional care. Simply the best.“

“This review is a long time coming. I've very picky about which gyms to join because of the bro-like, hypermasculine atmosphere that can make a female feel uncomfortable. This gym is not that. JP, the owner, is really one of a kind. He is genuine, affirming, knowledgeable, and is truly a master coach. He sees everyone as an athlete, and sincerely wants you to just do and be your best (which is what Ganbatte actually means). I've never met a business owner/coach as authentic and caring as he is, and he never pressures you or makes you feel like you're not doing enough. The other coaches are just as awesome. Another cornerstone of a great gym is also an emphasis on form to prevent injury. The Ganbatte coaches will spend time giving you feedback. Lastly, the community that Ganbatte cultivates here is unmatched. You will always feel welcomed and included. Definitely try them out, you'll probably end up staying a few years because of how amazing everyone is.“

“Hugo is an exceptional personal trainer who is very passionate, kind and knowledgeable. He tailored my program based on my goals and the workouts were always a challenge but never boring. It was such a good way to start my day! I learned so much from him, from getting the right form to nutrition tips. Highly recommend him to anyone starting their fitness journey!“

“I have been training with Emily, an amazing personal trainer, for 6 months. She's not only incredibly knowledgeable but also super kind-hearted. Emily's customized workouts and genuine care have made a huge impact on my progress. Her positivity and support create a motivating environment. With Emily, I've gained confidence and achieved fitness goals I never thought possible. She's not just a trainer, but an inspiration.“

“Bader is the man. He is not just an amazing trainer but a good person as well. He's has helped me make health changes in my life, strengthen my body, and lose weight. His workouts are custom tailored to your level of fitness. He takes pride in his work and is very knowledgeable. I appreciate your expertise, professionalism and friendship. Definitely recommended.“

“My wife & I have been going to MUV for over a year now and it’s been a great experience. Toby & Edwin are both talented trainers and, maybe more importantly, are great at listening to us & adapting their workout to meet our needs. They really know how to push us, but never too much. And they are funny & enjoyable to work with. I’d highly recommend MUV to anyone wanting to work on their fitness.“

“I started training with STRUT as I wanted to lose body fat, tone up and increase muscle mass. When I started my body fat was 31.8 and as of today I am at 22.7 and delighted with the results. I know that a regular gym is not for me, but STRUT creates an environment which they gently encourage and completely support me. STRUT is great for building your confidence in an environment that is focused on learning and achieving your personal goals.I would like to shout out to my personal trainer Olivia, Jason and the entire team of STRUT????So grateful ??❤️??“

“I love love Maxine. I'm getting stronger and feeling greaaat. She keeps me challenged and does it safely. Thank you Sage for matching us up!“

“I am absolutely thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Helen as my personal trainer. Helen's dedication to her clients' well-being is unparalleled. She takes the time to understand each individual's goals, limitations, and crafts personalized workout plans that are both challenging and achievable. Her vast knowledge of various fitness techniques and routines keeps every session engaging and effective. What truly sets Helen apart is her unwavering positivity and encouragement. She has an innate ability to motivate, pushing me to give my best even on days when I felt less than motivated. Her uplifting attitude creates an atmosphere of determination and success, making each session something to look forward to.I appreciate how Helen goes above and beyond to ensure that I maintain proper form and technique throughout every exercise. Her keen eye for detail and her willingness to provide constructive feedback have not only improved my physical abilities but also reduced the risk of injuries.It's evident that Helen is genuinely invested in her clients' progress. If you're looking for a personal trainer who is knowledgeable, motivational, and dedicated to your success, Helen is the one. Her expertise, combined with her passion for helping others, creates an experience that's not only transformative but also enjoyable. With Helen's guidance, I've not only reached new heights in my fitness journey but also gained a friend who genuinely cares about my well-being.“

“Best Physical Therapy in town! I’ve been to multiple PT clinics in LA over the course of the past 2.5 years, and would definitely recommend Aspire - they have all the necessary equipment, technology, and, what’s most important, a very professional staff dedicated to helping their patients get back to an active life!“

“If you’re looking for some help with your fitness goals, I highly recommend Pasadena Elite Fitness on W. Green St. You get private instruction and it’s for people of all fitness levels and ages. I had a bad back and after working with them, the pain is gone and I’m strong enough to do all the activities I love. Can’t say enough good things about these guys.“

“The coaches are very friendly and helpful. I have learned a lot of self defense and how to control my emotions.They treat me like family.“

“Mike is an outstanding trainer with extensive experience in the fitness industry. The gym studio is clean and well equipped. Mike is not only a great trainer, but makes you feel like family. Every time you step in MFitness it feels like community and welcoming. Love the environment, support and all the staff! If you are looking for an excellent trainer, I highly recommend Mike and MFitness!“

“Angela Faissal was terrific. Very knowledgeable and explained the why and how of what she was recommending. I highly recommend this facility for all physical and chiropractic therapy.“

“A really great space with wonderful trainers. I've made a lot of progress all thanks to my trainer Cat!“

“I highly recommend Pilates Pasadena. I came in seek of pain relief after a bad car accident. Severe pain in my back running down my leg. I thank Kathy , today I have no pain after some fascia sessions. She also works on pets. Parking available on the street.“

“Outstanding since it first opened! Never disappoints. Javier ... owner... has been with Le Studio from the beginning.“

“My smart and knowledgable friend told me that "Sylviane is the best trainer I've ever worked with in my life." That ringing endorsement is what led me to sign up with a one-on-one program with her. I have to say, I pick good friends. He is right.Other trainers I've worked with seem to still be working out their masculinity issues or think that an Army-inspired barking & shaming actually is motivating. Can't we do better?With Sylviane you get none of that. What do you get then?Somewhere in the rarely traveled space between Bruce Lee and Mary Poppins is Sylviane. You get a person who is an absolute master at her craft, and a mature human being who is totally comfortable with herself. She is a world champion (literally, not metaphorically) athlete, as well as a martial arts practitioner, and a truly excellent teacher. It's a rare person who can combine technical expertise with a skillful ability to instruct others. She is patient, funny, charming and a sincere pleasure to work with. You get someone with years of experience who brings a keen perception and sophisticated approach to her client's needs. Not only do I see my posture, muscular development and overall body strength steadily improving, we do it at pace that is sustainable and enjoyable.“
