Trainers in El Segundo

“Dropped in and was a fantastic workout! Very different workout however extremely impactful. So glad I dropped in and will do so again when I’m back in Redondo. Thx for having me!!“

“Chess Fitness (Jenn & Marco) changing my life. I'm a 57-year-old male who played high school sports but was inconsistent in my physical fitness in my 20, 30's and early 40's. I have worked out with several trainers in the last 10 years and when I moved to Manhattan Beach recently was dreading having to replace my long-time trainers. I got lucky in finding Chess Fitness and Jenn, Marco and the team. Jenn has deep experience training pro athletes, keeping them healthy and fixing them when they get injured. I have shoulder, hip, and calf issues and Jenn is guiding me as I fix these to be the best shape that I've been in since my mid-20's!  I'm playing tennis again, running 10ks and moving so much better. Jenn is business-like (sets expectations) but is very real. She meets me where my body is, has taught me really effective warm-up exercises and pushes me with demanding circuits. Chess' small group lessons are highly effective and cost-effective. The energy is supportive and results are flowing!  Happy to serve as a reference if anyone wants.“

“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.“
