Trainers near Tarzana

“I’ve been coming to Strive Firness for about two years now. I really like that there are no class times. They have two sessions. One in the morning and one in the evening. You show up at anytime during either session and you jump right in to the workout of the day. I’ve never had to wait to join in even on a busy day. I love that the workout is set for the day. There are 11 stations and you rotate every two minutes. I really like how this is set up. Less for me to think about and I get a good work out in for the day. The trainers are great. They are there to help out and motivate you. Matt is so helpful and friendly and will help me modify exercises when I need a modification. Highly recommend this gym!“

“I took Natasha’s 5pm class on Wednesday and it was awesome! She has such good energy, great cues that made me adjust and feel the burn more. It was a great way to end my night!“

“Awesome gym for HIIT workouts and great community of working professionals. The coach/owner Jacob has created a positive culture that emanates though all the coaches and staff.“

“Love this studio and being able to efficiently get a unique, full-body workout in half an hour. The instructors are all very knowledgeable. Parking is easy in a garage with validation. Benches are convenient and have phone chargers. Don't forget to bring grippy socks! Grippy socks and water are available for purchase if you forget.“

“Zara is fantastic!! Incredibly patient and helping to heal old injuries. Never felt better“

“I've been working out here since May. The classes are fantastic as are the attentive trainers. I am stronger and more flexible and enjoy the variety and challenge!“

“The office experience is always excellent. I work with two physical therapist, Nick and Aaron. Both are excellent.“

“I came to Elevate after a major skiing accident with multiple complicated fractures in my leg. The care and incredible therapy I have received and worked on over the last year with Dr Kyle and the other therapists at Elevate have been incredibly life saving to me. The care is personalized. One on one with your Doctor of PT. My recovery would never have come along this far after a year without the professionalism and incredible therapy- which required hard work- without Elevate. I am a former marathon runner and athlete so it was very important to me to work hard with the best after a freak ski accident. Elevate has been a major factor in my recovery and I am so thankful for their amazing positive support and pushing me to get back to the best I can be.“

“I started working with Shawn Phillips about three months ago, and both his program and his coaching have been true game changers. I’ve put off exercising for most of my life. I never particularly enjoyed working out and could never stick with it. When I finally decided it was time to find a trainer, I knew I needed more than just workouts I needed guidance with my diet, my routines, and my overall lifestyle and happiness. From the very start, Shawn has been everything I was looking for and more. He has me tracking my sleep, my meals, and even focusing on mental health. As a recent empty nester, I was feeling somewhat lost and unsure of my purpose after so many years of raising my kids. Not only did I avoid exercise for years, but I also put off addressing my mental health and overall life satisfaction. Shawn has helped me tackle both. What sets him apart is that my training sessions go far beyond exercise. We review my sleep quality (he introduced me to the Oura ring), my nutrition, and we work on quality-of-life goals. For the first time, I’ve been asked to reflect on my passions and how to pursue them. The best part is that he doesn’t just talk about it, he holds me accountable. We literally sat down and made a list of things I might want to try, and he follows up with me about those piano lessons I mentioned or the flower arranging class I wanted to take. The results have already been quite impressive. In only 3 months I can see a notable change and I think this may be the first time ever that I am not hiding behind a cover up or shorts at the beach , I have more energy and focus than ever. Shawn has helped me understand that it isn’t just about “exercising”, sleep, nutrition, and pursuing passions are all part of the equation. He keeps every session interesting, and his compassion and genuine love for what he does make all the difference. He’s always exploring and doing deep dives into a wide variety of health and fitness topics, and he’s introduced me to many valuable tools and anti-aging practices. I highly recommend Shawn, for the price of a trainer I also have a nutritionist and life coach!“

“Impact One Fitness was just the personal-training gym I was looking for. Ali, Micah, and their entire team--Jorge, Thomas, and Divya--are excellent at what they do, and very knowledgeable each one is. They are not only thorough professionals but also good people with a good heart and positive energy. The same positive energy is reflected in the gym's atmosphere, which makes a big difference while you're getting in shape there. All my workouts were tailored to my needs, and I truly appreciated that. The gym is spacious, clean, well-equipped, and well-maintained. Ali and Micah always patiently responded to all my concerns and questions in detail, as did my fantastic trainers, Divya and Jorge, who did a great job at training me. Even though I had to terminate my membership early due to a personal health emergency, I gained a lot of knowledge in the short period of time, which I aim to implement in my workouts in the future. I highly recommend Impact One Fitness for your fitness goals--the team here works with sheer integrity and professionalism (and smiles). :-)“

“Both owners have their degree in kinesiology, and truly understand the body. I have had a few situations where I had injuries. Instead of saying you can't do a specific exercise, they showed me a work around to help me move past the injury.
I'm also a veteran, and this gym is affiliated with Heroes Movement, which is a non-profit that pays for veterans membership.“

“Lotus PT is the best! I can't say enough good things about this place. When I first went to Lotus I could hardly walk from a bad knee injury. The amazing staff ( Owen,Charlie,and Christine and Arianne) were incredibly helpful,patient and encouraging in improving my range of motion and building up the strength in my legs. It's nothing short of a miracle that I'm back on the hiking trail as if the the injury never happened.“

“By far the best crossfit gym I have been to in LA. Exceptional coaching, great programming and amazing community. Come for the sweat, stay for the challenging experience.“

“I’ve been doing 2 months of 2-3 personal training sessions per week as a way to get stronger for trampoline which is my main hobby. Sahand has been amazing. I have a shoulder injury right now and he has tailored every session and watches every exercise in order to help rehab safely. This is in addition to all the other areas for strength I wanted to focus on. I’ve already learned a ton from him on proper form, focus areas, and exercises and feel way stronger than I was in session one.“

“'m 61 years old, and before I started training at The Compound, my physical activity was limited to 90-minutes of tennis once a week. After just three months of training with Paul twice a week (and once a week on my own), I'm down 12 pounds and seeing actual muscle tone--six-pack, here I come. How? Paul has developed a routine for me that includes cardio warm-ups, bodyweight exercises, core workouts, and weight training, all complemented by his helpful diet advice. Not only do I feel fitter and stronger, but my tennis game has also improved--I can hit harder and play longer without getting winded. Paul's guidance has been a game changer, and I'm excited to keep training with him. Side note: The Compound has the coldest bottled water in town. Highly recommend!“

“Just completed my first training cycle at Sparta and am the strongest I have ever felt. This is a safe environment to learn how to properly weight train, mixed with Olympic lifting. Everyone attending the classes are welcoming and supportive!“

“This is a nice and always clean planet fitness. Just needs some machine upgrades with the treadmills to catch up to the other planet fitness around the area. Stair steps as well those machines need to be upgraded. Overall a decent planet fitness. Close by and small but enough to workout. It's good that it's next to a Trader Joe's!“

“Love this place . I am getting stronger every week . Work outs are helping me so much . Team is outstanding. Highly recommended this program . They really watch you and teach you and you work in that 20 min . Going to do it now 3 x a week . Thank you all for taking care of me .“

“I did Pilates with Nadia in Santa Monica! Nadia is amazing! Very hands on and makes sure you’re doing it correctly. She personalizes the workouts for any specific injury you might have and she has GREAT taste in music. I would definitely workout with her again! ?“

“If you would like your child to gain technical skills, develop relationships that encourage him to be a better person, and feel more and more self-confident, this is your place. Master Shawn holds his students to a high standard, and in this day and age, when expectations and standards are so lacking in our children's lives, I feel like Master Shawn and his crew are helping me parent.“

“This place has been amazing! I’m still new and learning lots of techniques! Everyone is so very nice and friendly here and very welcoming! Coach matt has been an amazing instructor showing my step by step and supporting me as I progress every lesson I come to! The receptionist Gali is so friendly and high spirited, also very informative and helpful!“

“I was initially sad to leave my former PT office due to my health insurance changing, but I am so grateful to have found Brooke at VERT. She is one of the most incredible PTs I have ever worked with. Her skill is next level. Her intuition always takes her to exactly where my problem areas are, and her magic hands perform miracles. I have had nothing but excellent experiences with all of the PT assistants and the exercises Brooke has recommended have really made a difference. Until I drop dead, Brooke is stuck with me. The facility is spacious, very clean and there is a ton of equipment. They even have an app you can use to do your exercises at home. It's great! I highly recommend VERT.“

“I’ve been taking my boys for a year now and really seen a change in their speed and strength.“

“Title: DC FITNESS Experience: A Yelp Review Importance: HIGH Dear fellow fitness enthusiasts, Today, I am here to share with you my long-overdue utterly disappointing experience at the DC fitness, formerly known as Lord's Gym. While I still strongly advise becoming a member at this gym. Prepare yourselves for a candid review that will leave you questioning a couple things, especially how management (it's only one manager) manages DC Fitness. Point blank, you need to do better sir. I've spoken to the staff about the issues at DC and they are all in agreement that it is you who doesn't take care of half the issues mentioned below. I'll skip MOST of the issues and just address the main ones (I've spoken to many members about this and it seems nothing changes and they've personally complained to you too). I'm not a big yelper reviewer guy but it's at a point where enough is enough and something needs to be done/ fixed ASAP. Towels- Fix the washer and dryer, it's not that hard. Signs- No one cares if the machine is broken and the signs have a "DC fitness" sign on it, just fix the machine. Equipment- Get new equipment, not that expensive considering you guys are the Dream Center and CAN make it happen. Outdoor area- Refer to above. Staff- Amazing (expect manager). Restroom- Not bad (compared to other globo gyms) 7/10, used to be a strong 10/10 but lately smells like bad BO and piss. In conclusion, Just do better, DC Fitness is a hidden gem of a gym that houses some extreme fitness fanatics that don't mess around. It's welcoming, it's where bonds are made, it's where people come to get sh*t done. It's your standard no thrills gym, with old school iron and iron accessories. This is where Arnold would train if he was still at it like he used to be. BS aside, I've been coming here for over 10 years, when it was red and yellow with a stage still at the very bottom where the squat racks are now (get more squat racks). Get some more bumper weights, invest in good equipment (half of the bars at the gym are so bent and broken down). This has been and will always be my home gym, it is where I began my fitness journey and I know plenty of people who feel the same. Take some pride and ownership in your position with DC Fitness, there's hope still or step down, promote other more deserving people who actually care about the gym and the gym goers and let them take care of business. Be a better manager. Happy training to all. Sincerely, CJ“

“Awesome gym but it has its flaws, a short chubby male staff member who works in the afternoons always seems to be in a bad mood, couples getting too touchy feely, people going on machines just to sit on their phones“
