Trainers in El Segundo

“I can't say enough great things about Chess fitness. Jen works with many professional athletes; however, it didn't matter to her that I wasn't one. I started at Chess Fitness around my 50th birthday. I was struggling to lose weight due to hormonal changes and was very frustrated about my overall health. I tried many things but was limited by a bad knee and shoulder. Jen fixed both injuries, modified my diet, and inspired me to get healthy. I have been with Jen and her team of trainers for seven years now and have never had the same routine twice, so the workouts are never boring! We work on strength, cardio, balance, coordination, flexibility, and mobility. They also have red light therapy and massage therapy provided by Stephanie (her massages are awesome!). The best part is that Jen and her trainers push me out of my self-limiting mindset, challenge me to better myself, and cheer me on when I succeed.“

“I have been a member for 5 months now and I have nothing but positive things to say about GTS. They really care about providing a great experience to their members. I checked out Equinox, Planet Fitness, 24 hour fitness, and have been a member at other local gyms. If your focus is getting your work in and learning proper form you won't find a better deal. Overall: The best gym. Very good price given what you get. Their session cancellation and unused pass policy is very generous. All of the instructors are top notch and very nice people. No gym bros here. As a female, I really appreciate the friendly but focused atmosphere. Master Classes: Excellent. They will teach you proper form to get the max strength out of you while preventing injury. If you have a past injury, they will show you tips to still be able to train (I had an injury from before I started going to this gym). So far, I have taken the Day 1 and Day 2 master classes. I have knee problems from before and I found it unbelievable that with their instruction I was able to do full proper squats. Atmosphere/occupancy: Also excellent. I've never had to wait for any squat racks ever. There have been times when I'm the only one in the gym, especially early in the morning. They have a good mix of machines and I've always been able to make it work what they have. Everyone is very courteous. If there's any equipment that's malfunctioning I just have to send a text to the owners and they address it right away. Other members: People are usually minding their own business, but everyone is polite and considerate. Most people will give you a wave or nod if you're working out during the open gym. Owner/Coaches: Jason, the owner, is great. Again, my experience is that he is focused on providing the best experience for the members. He is a great coach and is very knowledgeable about form and the mechanics of strength training. I have interacted with two other coaches and have felt very comfortable and cared for during their instruction. As a female, this is something I really appreciate.“

“I would encourage anyone who is on the fence to try Gate 14! Being a member of Gate 14 for the past few years has been a great experience. The coaches are very motivating and invested in helping you reach your goals. The workouts are always different, high intensity, and more challenging than what I was used to. I feel stronger and in better shape since I started coming to Gate 14.“
