“Carina created a wonderful place to get strong and meet strong women! I signed up at the end of 2021, because of the small group training option. It’s affordable, and you can workout while maintaining a safe distance from others. Carina keeps the facility clean and sanitary. There are plenty of options in terms of equipment to cater to your training needs. Carina will adjust your workout based on your preferences, abilities, and injuries. I noticed a significant difference in my strength, endurance, and overall health. Carina and the (predominantly) women here are friendly, caring, and supportive. This is a great place to go whether you’re a strong athlete or just starting your fitness journey.“

“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 injured my lower back at a wedding and reached out to Haig out of desperation. After our first session, my pain was 70-80% better! He used a combination of hands-on passive care and also more active care, guiding me through a series of movements to practice at home. I had two more sessions with him, all of which were super helpful! During my last appointment, I got an adjustment, which I feel helped speed along my healing process, because now I am feeling great!I have a set of movements now I can practice whenever I feel a flare up that alleviate the pain immediately. Even though I am feeling better, I want to continue to visit to get help with my arm and shoulder which has been bothering me for years and keep myself tuned up as I get back into lifting.Haig is super on top of it- every evening after your appointment he emails directions for the movement to practice at home. He is also super friendly, explains everything so clearly, and really takes time to listen and make sure your body is doing well. He always makes himself available if you have questions after your appointment. He is also easy to talk to and makes me feel very comfortable and safe.I appreciate him so much and am so glad I found him. Worth every penny to invest in yourself and feel great. Just go for it if you have any pain or mobility issues!!“

“I came to Jason to refine my technique and get some consultation on how to bulk up more. From workout plans, to how much protein I should be taking in and food routines, Jason handled it all with ease. He’s a great resource to have when you are trying to learn best practices and overall more about how your body should feel when you are working the muscles properly. He was always just a text away and easy to communicate with.I recommend coming to Jason for any and all fitness goals. He will help build a custom plan that fits your goals and lifestyle and support you along the way!“

“Where do I even start? I've been a client of Hugo's since 2022. I was looking for someone knowledgeable, kind, professional, and motivated. Hugo is exactly THAT. I can say with confidence he is worth the investment - one that will not only change you physically, but mentally as well. From the beginning Hugo was clear in detailing what it would take for me to reach my fitness goal (macros, exercise, sleep, water intake, etc). In the gym he always reviews the exercise beforehand and that's helped tremendously with my form as a gym noob. This foundation has helped me avoid injuries and gain strength. It's also made me a smarter consumer of the fitness industry. The amount of fitness misinformation on social media is astronomical and I'm happy to say the knowledge I've gained from Hugo has helped me decipher the lies from the truths. During sessions I appreciate how he checks in on you if you are having a hard time keeping up and adjusts the exercises as necessary. They are still challenging but not to the point where you feel like you're going to pass out. I've been with coaches who push you to the point of exhaustion and that's never been fun. When it comes to macros, he's helpful in giving tips and tricks to stick to them. He shares ways to meet your protein intake both in your diet and via supplements. That's been the hardest part of my fitness journey, but if you're consistent that will change your body the most! That being said, what makes Hugo stand out from the other trainers are his personal values and personality. He strongly believes in family and giving back to the community. He's constantly trying to learn from others and uplift those around him. Bearing witness to that example motivates me to be disciplined and healthy.“

“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.“

“Long overdue review. I went to see Johnny several years ago after suffering with tennis elbow for about a year. Johnny fixed it. Permanently. It's been about 8 years now, and it hasn't come back. He also took me and my wife through a solid foundation of stretching and strength foundational excercises. The dude is super knowledgeable, super nice, and really good at what he does. Thinking of going in soon for a back tune-up, after months quarantine sitting.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I'm writing about 1 Physical Fitness in Pasadena. I've been a health care professional for the past 40 years. I've worked with Olympic and World Championship teams and their staffs. I've come in contact with some of the best exercise physiologists, sports nutritionists and physical therapists in the country. The professionals at 1 Physical Fitness are truly wonderful. In treating my serious injuries, I found them to be extremely competent, but more importantly, compassionate, and sincerely interested in collaboratively finding practical solutions for my physical issues with much appreciated sensitivity to my pain. They started with a thorough evaluation of my condition before setting clear and realistic goals. This was followed by a series of stretches and exercises that started working within a few days. Since then, with their expert guidance, I'm doing better and better. If you have any physical issues, I highly recommend Dr. Eric and his amazing staff.“

“This is the best Chiropractor that I've found in pasadena and trust me, I've been looking. Dr Jason is amazing. He listens to what you say and then without any fanfare he fixes you. Just like that! I highly recommend dr jason Braun“

“You want results... That's what this guy deals in!!! Amazing and super fun to work with!!!“

“I have been in and out of physical therapy more times than I can count, this is by far the best place, and person, Kevin, I have ever been. He takes a personal as well as professional approach to help you heal. I started at twice a week and ranked it up to three because it is worth it to keep improving and stay in my sport. Can’t say enough good things about this place, the staff, the athletic vibe, and the benefits.“

“CATZ Pasadena provides both a fun and intense workout for those looking to push themselves. I attended a class with about 8 others, and it involved a variety of fitness-intensive exercises. My favorite part of the workout was that it was dynamic (i.e. movement-based), HIIT, and multi-exercise (i.e. you do multiple exercises, almost like a circuit, in order to complete the activity). It can get competitive and I like that. When you see others around you pushing, you want to push and finish on top. It's a hell of a workout and the ceiling is however high you're willing to push it. Check out CATZ if you're looking for a place to grow your fitness and push yourself. You will find your rhythm if you give it a chance and commit.“

“Class was great! It was my first time joining, and Scott was my instructor - he was very friendly and accommodating. He brought us in and gave us all the info we needed and introduced us to the room setup/explained how class would go. He checked in throughout class, and noticed when I felt lost once or twice and got me up to speed. Really appreciated his warm welcome and upbeat personality. Fun class! So happy to have had the opportunity with Pasadena Run Club to try Barry’s for the first time :)“
