“I am older. I have injuries. I mostly want to do things I enjoy. Strength training was not on my list, until now. I look forward to my weekly visits to The Strength Shop. The trainers I have worked with all paid close attention to my alignment, my abilities and are both respectful and kind. The administration and business model are terrific, with almost no turnaround time when a response is required. I truly love this place, an added bonus is the perfectly comfortable and clean .environment“
“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.“
“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!“
“I was referred to Haig for his reputation as a great chiropractor, and I discovered he also has extensive knowledge of fitness and training. His approach is highly intuitive--he can pinpoint exactly where my pain originates and then teaches me how to prevent it from returning. Working with him has made me much more aware of my muscles and movement. Now, I can feel my muscles working during workouts without experiencing pain afterward. Haig is exactly who I needed to take my workouts to the next level while effectively managing pain before it becomes a bigger issue.“
“Best decision I've ever made in regards to my fitness journey. If I had to choose Jason as a personal trainer again, I'd choose him in a heartbeat! When I came to Jason, I literally was starting at level zero. I had lost 100lbs on my own and hit a plateau and since I never incorporated any physical activity in said weight loss. I always steered clear from the gyms because I was afraid of injuring myself and was frankly just plain intimidated/embarrassed in a gym setting. Fast forward to meeting Jason, he was professional, supportive and determined in helping me reach my goals. During every session he has taken the time to explain each move and its purpose. He's helped me stay accountable and on track and that plateau is finally broken too! I feel better than I ever have. And now have a new found respect & love for the gym! I hope that anyone looking for a great trainer, who actually cares and knows what the heck they're doing and wants a trainer who keeps it real & is extremely down to earth too. Then don't hesitate giving Ripped Rose fitness a try, you won't regret it!“
“I have been in martial arts most of my life, and this is the most all-encompassing training centers I have found. For years I have searched for a studio that covers mindset, striking, weapons, grappling and have it all taught with street application. Hard to find, but GC Krav Maga has it all. They also host many self-defense and survival-specific seminars. The owner, Mr. Noi, creates an environment that is welcoming and also challenging for everyone. Every class leaves me with a great physical work out. GC Krav Maga is everything I have wanted, all in one location. There are many similar studios closer to my home, but I choose to drive 1 hour round trip to attend class regularly. Well worth it!“
“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 initially started working with Alex Zendejas because I was bored of my personal workouts and I was worried about my shoulder issues. I have dislocated both of my shoulders multiple times in sports injuries...and I lived with the fear that I would injure my shoulder(s) again accidentally. Alex stepped in with a mix of expertise and confidence and immediately started working with me on strengthening my shoulders. In the process of doing this--I realized how gifted Alex is as a personal trainer. He is knowledgeable about the body and how to use exercise and eating plans to make personal goals a reality. If you are looking for a trainer who will walk alongside you, support you, and help you do more than you thought you could do...I would absolutely recommend Alex. I got stronger. I lost weight. I actually forgot my shoulder issues, b/c they had been strengthened. And I grew in confidence that I can walk into a gym and know what to do. Trust me. You won't regret taking the first step to work with a personal trainer. And Alex is gold standard.“
“I've been on a fitness journey for over 10 years, and I can confidently say that the results I've seen in the last three months with Ivan have been the most transformative by far. He listened to my goals as a dancer and designed a program that perfectly blended functional training, cardio, and weightlifting to help me not only lean out but also enhance my performance. Ivan's expertise doesn't stop at the gym--he provided invaluable guidance on nutrition, helping me align my eating habits with my fitness goals. What sets Ivan apart is his ability to tailor programs specifically to individual needs while keeping it challenging and fun. Incorporating boxing into my routine has been a game-changer and is now one of my favorite parts of the week. His knowledge and experience are unmatched, and his approach is both motivating and empowering. He pushes you to become the best version of yourself while reminding you that everything you need to achieve that is already within you. In just three months, I've lost 7 pounds, reduced my body fat by 3%, and improved my overall athletic performance. Ivan has truly transformed not just my body but my mindset around fitness. I couldn't recommend him more highly!“
“Whittier nutrition & fitness is my happy place! Not only do you get an amazing workout but you are surrounded by a positive, motivating, supportive and uplifting community of like minded people. Everyone goes at their own pace and you don't feel pressured or intimidated to keep up. There are several different classes 7 days a week and each coach brings something different and challenging. They also have an amazing bar which is open every class, you can order a refreshing hydration drink or even a delicious meal replacement shake! My favorite part of this place besides the amazing playlists...is the inspirational messages you're left with before leaving, sometimes it's exactly what you needed to hear that day and you just walk out feeling accomplished and inspired. Like I said in the beginning Whittier Nutrition & Fitness is MY happy place and it's so much more than just a workout!“
“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.“
“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.“
“I've been training with Mike for 2 years and he is the best. Can't recommend him and MFitness enough.“
“Great experience with my new personal trainer, Carolyn! She was knowledgeable, approachable, and made sure to tailor the workout to my goals. Gym had good machine selection, isn't too crowded, and all the staff are attentive. Looking forward to more training sessions when I'm back in the area!“
“This is such an amazing gym! I have totally transformed my body and feel 20 years younger! The coaches are amazing! They keep you energized and coming back for more!“
“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.“
“Have had good experience with trainers. They work with me on my limits & are tough sometimes. It's a family owned snuggle place yet clean. Equipments are modern. They offer precooked meals which are pretty good & also a weightloss program.“
“This boutique fitness studio has it all - a variety of amazing group fitness classes and personal training. The owners and staff are highly trained and motivating. Prepare for serious body and mindset transformations. The space is clean and beautiful. Highly recommend if you live in the area and are looking for a place with good vibes and legit workouts.“
“I’m recovering from a complete Achilles rupture, and 1 Physical Therapy has completely changed my life. I was walking with a boot and crutches a week ago, and now I’m already back in shoes and walking without crutches. The facility is amazing, and the staff is very knowledgeable, kind, and beyond helpful.“
“Outstanding since it first opened! Never disappoints. Javier ... owner... has been with Le Studio from the beginning.“
“Best decision of my life was to come to VIP. I was tempted to try the work out camps that have popped up all over the city and Facebook/Instagram. However I opted for VIP because it offers a more personal one on one training. Erwin is a true professional in every sense of the word. Got to know me asked me questions and set up a plan. He is very patient and educates me as I work out on why I should avoid certain habits or foods and how to be a healthier person overall. Some of the things he has shared just resonate and when I'm trying at home it's like a light bulb moment, like aha! this is why! Erwin is a top notch trainer, not like the ones you see taking pics and posting selfies and videos while they're "training." Prices are reasonable for the excellent service and attention you get!. I highly recommend!“
“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.“
“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.“
“Just finished my first week at Hybrid Fitness. I could not be more thankful for the opportunity to get back in shape with someone like Justin, he's the real deal. I feel like I'm getting an accelerated work out that's customized for my goals which I couldn't have done alone. I don't care how hard you push yourself on solo workouts, there's nothing like getting in a one-on-one at Hybrid. Five stars all the way around.“
“Operator Fitness, or OpsFit, is the best trainer I’ve worked with hands down. It is a great concept with really fantastic execution, easy to understand workouts, customized nutrition, and all on your schedule since it’s online and virtual coaching.The results speak for themselves - I lost 15lbs in the first month of eating well and working out. No fad diet or exercise. Just dedication and hard work guided by Chris.Chris is one of the best trainers I’ve ever had: He messages me to ask about my meal intake, my workouts, even adjusted both when I got a bit sick and had my wisdom teeth removed.He sends my workout for the week or month, depending on the goals, so I have direction at the gym and I’m more confident in the weight room. If I’m unsure about a move, there’s a description and video demo.His meal plans are easy to understand and follow. We all hear about Keto this, paleo that, and macros, but we really don’t know much about it. Chris does and structures your nutrition plan to you and your measurements and needs. This isn’t fad dieting, this is learning lifestyle so that you can enjoy those things you like without ruining your gym gains and weight loss goals.Lastly, cost. The pricing is competitive for LA and gets you more than most trainers give. This is ideal for those of us with busy lives - we don’t have to race traffic to get to our session with our trainer, or worse, cancel.Do yourself a favor, sign up, try it out, and see how it goes. You’ve got nothing to lose but pounds and unhealthy habits!“
“John and Tyson were amazing in helping us out on working out at the gym. They both are very patient and knowledgeable and I definitely recommend them. Cari“
