Trainers near Corona Del Mar

“I have been working out at A7 for a year now and can safely say that both trainers I’ve worked with, Alec and Anastasia, are excellent trainers. They’re patient, methodical and keep track of progress meticulously. I feel safe in their hands and have truly enjoyed the progression I’ve made with them! Highly recommend!“

“I have so much love for Ark!

First and foremost, the gym is stunning and the darker interior creates a safe, calm, and intimate vibe. I love all of the machines and equipment they offer and the bathrooms are perfectly lit and always clean.

The group classes are very fun and challenging. The format is easy to follow and they have coaches walking around the room to ensure our form is good. Each workout can be modified so don't be intimidated if you're a beginner! The workouts are innovative and effective. Make sure to always sign up when they have a challenge workout! It will humble you.

THE STAFF IS AMAZING. Love every single one of them and they are always so helpful when I need assistance. They're also fun to talk to and they love it when we loiter at the front desk ;)

The biggest takeaway is that Ark helped me overcome gym anxiety and limiting beliefs. With regular gym memberships, I would go in and work out with my AirPods and leave. At Ark, I get to meet awesome people so it feels more like a community. The group classes are transformative and educative because the coaches help me with my form and they challenge me to add more weight or reps because they know I have the capacity to do so.

I'm excited for the future of Ark!“

“Great team and great overall experience. 100 percent recommend this gym if your interested in starting or continuing your fitness journey!“

“Been here 2x now with Classpass to try the trampoline class. The trampoline class is amazing! Great instructor, small group, good energy and music. I have nothing bad to say. It is very difficult to find trampoline fitness classes in general, and I am glad that I found this one. There is easy, free parking in the lot.“

“I've been attending this training center for the past three weeks, and it's been a great experience. The small group setting provides accountability, which has helped me stay committed. Even though drive to fitness center takes me 30+ minutes sometimes after work hour due to traffic, individualized attention makes it worth it. With the smaller class size, I receive personalized guidance on proper exercise form, which has really helped me build a consistent exercise habit. The staff are incredibly friendly, and it's nice to work out alongside others my age. The environment is welcoming and supportive--highly recommend if you're looking for a place to stay motivated and improve your fitness!“

“I have 2 words for you. LIFE CHANGING. Steve Salas and Zurie Harris are two of the most influential people I have ever met. I started at least 10 years ago with Zurie. Now, I've been working out with Steve for about a year and a half. Not only have I lost over 30lbs by just working out and eating right, but I have gained a whole family of supportive like-minded people. I look forward to waking up every morning, heading to the Jungle and kicking ass.“

“I found Danny when I was looking to lose weight for my upcoming wedding. With his help, I was able to lose over 30 lbs and was the goal weight for my wedding! I've decided to keep working with him for over 2 years now! Danny is great and makes working out tolerable. I hated working out and exercise, but Danny adjusts it to my level and it doesn't feel like I'm competing against others. He's the best!! The best trainer and a great listener! Highly recommend him!“

“The facility and coaches are great. It was motivating, and I felt so much at home when I was with Red Wolf. A lot of our veterans in the gym and community are always welcoming and sharing equipment with all of us. I feel much more confident now about my fitness capacity, especially since I can see the huge improvement in my performance from my marathon and triathlon sports. Thanks to Caitlin, Matt, Kim, and other coaches for all the great tips and advice when we are doing the workout. Can't wait to become a CrossFitter in the future.“

“Just wanted to share how happy we are with your gym. We always feel comfortable, and how clean it is all the time.

Anthony is a great coach, really appreciate how he keeps us doing new things and it’s great to see our strength going up and up! Today he was so nice he actually went and picked up our son so we could keep working out! Not something we expect him to do of course, but just another example.“

“I have been a member for about 2 years. I love coming to a small gym where my workouts are supervised by a knowledgeable staff that won’t let me drag my feet when I’m not fully motivated. I especially like the routines that change everyday 8 weeks. It keeps it challenging and I don’t get bored. I feel like I am stronger and more flexible than I was 2 years ago and at 71 that is a good way to feel. Thanks FCF staff!“

“My trainer set up shop here when our previous gym shut down. 24-hour access with an app on my phone to unlock the door and a decent amount of parking for the small space (enough equipment for 4-7 people at a time).“

“For years and years I tried to lose weight with dieting and exercize. At one point I was working out in fitness place 4 hours a day! I am of a particular age where ppl say " oh you cant lose weight nor get fit". I changed food habits completely = to a " clean food plan". The next decision changed my life completely. I found Diane Carpenter's DC Fitness! My journey will continue, as I get stronger and healthier day by day. Diane is a dedicated trainer, who tailors the fitness routine- to the needs and ability of her clients. She is no nonsense hands-on trainer; demonstrating then observing and correcting as the workout progresses. Every session is a new experience but is always balanced with both cardio and resistance. No workout is the same-old-thing. She has state of the art fitness machines combined with many other fitness tools : bands, dumbells, bosu, weight balls, TRX, blocks.... and more. At DC Fitness you dont waste time walking a tredmill; you dig right in and do reps and sets and move from routine to routine. I love this place and the vibe. I love my personal challenges. I love my progress. I am including 2 pictures. One is at the start of my fitness journey and the other is me as I am now. And one more thing: everyone that works out here is welcoming and courteous. I think when you like yourself, you become a nicer person. Thanks to Diane, I feel my self worth improving.“

“I'm a former athlete, so I find the F45 classes to really mesh well with my personal preferences regarding work outs. It's a really close knit community and that reminds me of being a part of a team, coming to practice a few times a week and feeling super accomplished afterwards (especially when you don't have to think about your workout). I really appreciate that the coaches learn everyone's names and make conversation before and after the work outs and if you're not there for a week they're reaching out to make sure everything is all good - accountability is so important! Would definitely recommend.“

“Couldn't be happier with this gym! Shoutout to Richard and Johnny, both of them are amazing. Their expertise turned my fitness goals into reality. The atmosphere is chill, and the workouts are killer. Hands down recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy their fitness journey.“

“Need Physical Therapy NOW to leap beyond pain, trouble with walking, jogging and enjoying life "on the coast?" Get your appointment with Mike Wright, DPT like NOW. Do it STAT. Tell your friends too. Mike spent way more time on "my full assessment" than several prior PT's. Then he explained WHAT was holding me back and STARTED ME ON A NEW PATH at once. This was so different - it WORKED and I made REAL PROGRESS. How about leaping from 1/4 mile walking to 3 or 4 MILES/DAY with a smile on my face? Sure, it took a few weeks and some work. Along the way, Mike would constantly ask, listen, watch, suggest, and have me TRY stuff I'd never done. He always asked "does THIS little change help John?" Gotta say, the SMALLEST CHANGES unlocked me from back pain, knee issues, and the ability to JUST WALK. I even got his OK to jog a bit. AND I CAN. Leap beyond your limits! Call Dr Mike NOW.“

“Great Gym! All the instructors and members I’ve met have been awesome. Chris went out of his way to accommodate me when I was visiting from out of town.“

“I love this place, the people and how much they take pride in their jobs and the passion that shows through of them truly loving what they do.“

“Amazing workout, great vibe, and beautiful aesthetic. Really great staff and location was easy to get to. Clean environment, enough space between equipment and great tunes during workout. Highly recommend for first timer or experienced!“

“The Best in the Game—Barrett & Nat Are Unmatched!

I’ve been training with Barrett and Nat since the very beginning of my journey as a true athlete, and I never looked back. They’ve taken me from high school seasons to the best shape of my life before competing at USC, and once again when I made the leap to play professionally overseas.

Their attention to detail, knowledge, and genuine care for their clients are second to none. But beyond the results, what sets them apart is the environment. Every session is high-energy, filled with great music, good vibes, and plenty of laughs—all while pushing you to be your absolute best. They make the hard work fun, and that’s rare to find.

Whether you’re looking to elevate your performance, stay in peak condition, or just get started on your fitness journey, they will create a program that works for you. You WILL see results—and have a damn good time doing it.

I can’t recommend them enough—so much love for these two!“

“If you're looking for a place to grow, then this is the place for you! Adam and Zack are masters in their craft when it comes to training where they breakdown each workout. They take the time in the beginning to meet you where you're at whether you're completely new to lifting or a seasoned trainer yourself. This is a playground to develop yourself. That being said, be ready to work when you're there where they will push your limits so trust the process along with the goals you've set with them. Your future self will thank you for it.

I started training with Zack back in January where we went over the basics along with focusing on my process when it comes to workouts and nutrition. He gives you feedback incrementally where it's easy to incorporate in your daily routine. I'm always on the go with my work where it's difficult to have consistent structure where training here has helped me learn how to develop a mindset to adapt to those changes along with establishing a system that best works for me. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to start. It's never too late“

“I have been training with Shirley for a year. She has always been flexible with scheduling, can adjusts to my crazy schedule, and flexible with my training goals. Strength training, flexibility, cardio… she can meet all my needs. We move from weights, to TRX, to the spring Board, to Pilates, to yoga, whatever my body and mind are wanting that day. I love it!
Thank you Shirley for always showing up and helping me where I at so I can reach my fitness goals!

“1yr 50+ lbs weight loss Transformative change in my life thanks to SRF ready fitness team. What started as a search to rehab a separated shoulder from surfing accident, turned into a comprehensive plan for achieving my health goals. When I met Paul I was stalled in my surfing journey despite surfing almost daily. At 53 old and new injuries and fatigue made surfing difficult. I struggled to get into better surfing shape. After an initial assessment Paul created a customized plan for my current state and future goals. Most importantly morning after morning 6am Paul was there for me. Great attitude and consistent encouragement. I can say he saw more in me than I was able to see in myself. He is patient, persistent, never condescending, and partners with you. My goal is to surf better as long as possible. Paul was careful to help me stay focused on that as a goal. His surf / balance / core strength workouts are unique and effective. His knowledge comes from 10+ years of experience training the highest level surfers. So he knows what to do. I don’t have to research tons of other people’s exercises, research nutrition, cobble my own regiment, and manually rotate that. Paul does all that for you, apnea, core, balance, pop ups.. while great for surfing, it is the best total body fitness program you can put yourself on whether you surf or not. They give an evaluation and initial trial run.. if you live near Costa Mesa it’s a no brainer to try it out. If you live further out he has virtual classes. Not many surf specific gyms in the world, and even fewer with a proven professional pedigree and surfers to back it up. Check SRF out… might change your life also.“

“It's a different workout. You will understand it after your first session. It's super effective in building muscle mass.“

“I've been coming here for about 3 months and quite frankly this is the absolute best place I've been to in regard to healing my back pain and flexibility. I want to start off by saying that Jake and Erica are the absolute best people. They both take great care of their clients and show personal interest to each of us. Jake has taken the time to show me and teach me different stretching techniques and workout exercises to improve my flexibility and reduce my chronic back pain. Thanks to his and Erica's stretching techniques, along with using the spinal decompression machine (BEST MACHINE EVER!) I now don't have anymore back pain . For years I've been going to multiple chiropractors and therapist but this is the first time where I actually feel and see the results. Thank you Jake and Erica for your personal care and support. I highly recommend going to them for everything body and exercise related. 10/10!“

“Ivan is a class act, incredibly professional and an excellent communicator. We absolutely LOVE our elliptical that we purchased and we would happily do business with him again!!“

“Shoshanna was so great to work with. Her app & program were very easy to follow. She had so many different meal options to choose from & based on what your dietary preferences were as well.She was great at checking in daily on progress & would follow up to see if modifications were needed or if she saw something in your meal log that could be changed.I would highly recommend her program if you’re looking for something tailored for your needs that’s not just a generic workout for everyone. She really focuses on you.“
