Trainers near Van Nuys

“I have two boys that attend Panther Martial Arts. Grand Master Shawn has a gift for working with children and bringing out out their confidence and boosting their spirit. My younger son, who has ADHD, participated for about a year. There were times when he wanted to give up and quit, but each instructor was able to help him to find a reason to continue. My older son just received his purple belt and is excited about beginning to assist teaching the younger age classes. Every instructor at Panther has been kind and compassionate and they all teach my boys respect, courtesy and commitment.“

“Chevy, is the best trainer I’ve ever had! His personality and knowledge of the body is excellent! He makes working out fun and enjoyable while hitting your goals.“

“Fitness Covered is truly a hidden gem in Los Angeles and an absolute 10/10 for anyone looking for a more personalized, supportive, and well-rounded fitness experience. I’ve been in and out of gyms for years trying to find the right environment and coaching style, and I’m so grateful I found Fitness Covered!

From day one, the team here made me feel taken care of. Brandon, Kevin and Rex go above and beyond to understand your goals, your history, and any limitations you may have, and they tailor everything to make sure you feel confident, safe, and supported. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and you can tell they genuinely care about your long-term success, not just your workouts.

The space itself is clean, welcoming, and never overcrowded, which makes every session feel focused and intentional. Between the personalized training, the recovery tools, the nutrition guidance, and the overall positive energy, it’s such a refreshing change from the typical busy LA gym scene.

What I appreciate most is how empowering the process has been. I’ve learned how to lift with proper form, build strength without aggravating old injuries, and stay consistent with nutrition in a way that still allows balance (yes, I still enjoy my wine and weekend meals!). The accountability and support here genuinely make a difference.

Fitness Covered has played a huge role in helping me feel stronger, healthier, and more confident. If you’re looking for a private, high-quality gym with a team that truly cares about your progress, I couldn’t recommend this place more.

Thank you, Fitness Covered team, for everything you do!“

“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 have been a member for a short time, but really like the space. It has everything you need to get in a good workout. My trainer Kyle, who I have been training with for over 4 years now, keep me honest and pushes me when I need to be pushed. They recently added a lot of new equipment and they have many options to work any part of the body. Glad to be a new member of Conquer All Things.“

“The best Pilates studio I’ve ever been to!! Every instructor here is incredibly knowledgeable, thorough, warm and fun! I’ve loved the group classes I’ve taken with Cynthia and Carrin. I was also lucky enough to be the only person in a group class with Melissa so got an impromptu private, which was incredible. She gave such detailed instruction and provided guidance and corrections that completely changed the way I thought about movements that I’ve been doing (somewhat mindlessly) for years. If you’re looking for a thoughtful, personal Pilates studios, this is it!!“

“I am so obsessed with my new gym! EverFit checks all my boxes. It smells good, it’s always clean, and you can genuinely tell cleanliness is a priority—from the staff constantly wiping down machines to members doing their part after every workout.

They have a dry sauna, two private workout areas, and all the Pilates and yoga equipment you could need. One of the main reasons I joined was to intentionally add Pilates into my routine—and they offer reformer Pilates classes included with your membership, along with so many other options: barre, cycling, Zumba, strength circuits, and more.

There are so many classes to choose from for under $100 a month, which honestly feels like a steal. When I walk in, the staff knows me by name, and that personal touch makes the experience even better. It’s also never overcrowded, which is a huge plus for me.

And ladies—let’s talk locker room. Fully stocked with blow dryers, plenty of counter space, and vanity lighting ??

I’m genuinely so happy with my decision to join.
If you sign up, tell them Morgan Smith sent you! ?“

“Platefit is so amazing. You get an unbelievable workout in 28 minutes. The plate’s vibration is what makes it special. I am addicted.“

“Purchased a 1:1 package for my wife for mother's day. One of the best gifts ever!
Micah and Ali are super attentive and unlike the big gyms, they do an initial assessment to review what you need vs simply what the client 'thinks' they need.
At the end of the 12 session pckg we decided to renew the session.“

“My partner and I were hunting for a great gym in the studio city area. I was visiting so I signed up for a month. In a nutshell, Hunter has the best approach to fitness I’ve ever experienced. I was an overweight kid and I always felt like working out was a “have to” and something I just would never enjoy. Hunter changed my experience. Like other reviewers mentioned, his approach is very unorthodox and his workouts feel like adult play-time. I live in NYC and I wished I could bring Nomad gym back with me. Btw nomad gym has a great app, but to get Hunter’s hilarious, playful, kind and chill vibe that makes working out actually fun, you have to be there in person.“

“I was looking for a place to get back to sport, improving my cardio and my overall shape and F45 I’ve been the perfect fit for me. The atmosphere is very wholesome but serious when it comes to training. The coach bring good mood and energy !“

“I had my doubts given I have tried to get in shape and lose weight before but it has been worth it all! I have struggled with weight and not seeing the results I wanted. I am a life long endurance athlete as well as a Ironman. These folks know what they are doing and are very knowledgeable. With Stark I am seeing results very quickly! They provide a full fitness package and it is incredible and fun!“

“Training Loft is an incredible, safe, and comfortable place. It is more than worth every penny. In fact, it is probably the best money I have spent to date.

Training Loft's staff helped me become physically and mentally stronger than I have ever been before. When you consistently show up, everything just works. The funny, kind, and dedicated TL team make it easy to show up every week.

I began going to TL in Summer 2023 without really ever having stepped in a gym my entire life. I did not realize how underweight I was at the time. Nor did I realize how much healthier I could feel.

With a great deal of care and attention, the TL staff helped me feel safe and welcome when I felt more than a little overwhelmed and lacking confidence elsewhere. If I could learn to do a pistol squat, so can you!

I did not just learn how to lift weights and do pull-ups (but there is a lot of that, to be clear). I also learned how to eat better, work through physical exhaustion, build up my stamina, and live a better life. Melrose is also a fun area to be around.

Just give them your money already. :)“

“We had a great experience at this physiotherapy clinic. My dad was dealing with knee pain, and Aaron was amazing throughout his treatment. He was professional, knowledgeable, and very supportive. The entire facility was welcoming, helpful, and friendly. All the staff members made us feel comfortable and cared for. Highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality physiotherapy care.“

“Very interactive atmosphere that pushes you to be better everytime you come in. If you like tight knit communities and the chance to challenge yourself mentally and physically this place is for you.“

“I've been training jiu-jitsu and some muay thai here for over a year. It's been such a great place for me and my kids as I am able to share these experiences with them. Large beatiful facility, everyone is so kind and helpful, and the instructors are very knowledgeable. I definitely recommend training here with whatever class you are interested in. Coming here has helped me stay healthy and given me another community to be a part of. 5 stars!“

“Great fitness program. Once a week workout with a private trainer for 30 minutes. I love all the trainers there and the workout is fantastic! They follow the power of 10 method--Maximum weight at a very S-L-O-W pace. Makes a huge difference in my fitness!“

“I had trouble trying to lose weight now close to my 40s. My coach Eric Is amazing. Knows exactly my body & schedule and guides me on the appropriate diet and exercise for my specific goals. I tell all my customers and friends about this program. But you won’t know till you try it!“

“Obsessed. First time I have been able to be consistent. The teachers are the best. The studio is so friendly! Love :)“

“An incredible workout experience! The trainers are not only highly skilled but also thoughtful and supportive, and the community is so welcoming. I was hooked after my very first class and have been a consistent member ever since“

“My stepdad had a great experience at The Compound. The owner Paul couldn't be more welcoming and genuinely goes out of his way to make people feel comfortable. You can tell this is a gym built on real community, not just business. The space is great, parking is easy, the atmosphere is friendly, and it's clear Paul takes pride in how he runs things. If you're in Woodland Hills and looking for a gym run by someone who actually cares, this is it. Highly recommend.“

“I worked with Lowen as a personal trainer — i’ve had many trainers and he is by far the best. Highly recommended“

“Better Body is an amazing pilates studio! I attend both mat and reformer pilates classes at least 3x/weekly via Class Pass and I keep coming back to Better Body for a consistent, well-rounded workout! Classes are challenging and there is a focus on appropriate form, which sometimes gets lost in group environments. I appreciate how the instructors provide real-time feedback to prevent any injuries, as well as modifications if needed. Mari has been in business for over 20 years and there's a clear reason why! Can't wait for my next class.“

“Wanted to update my review today, stated before this is one of the nicer gyms in the area. Trust me I go to many other planet fitness. Machines are always well-maintained. This place keeps a level of cleanliness that I personally believe most planet fitness should live up to. The team here truly cares about their job as well as the location they work at.

I wanted to give a special thank you, I never got your name, because you were not wearing a name tag. You sure one of the hardest working people I’ve seen there today (blonde haired guy with a cool mustache) notice you cleanup the locker rooms, give a tour to potential new clients, explain and give a demonstration of how machines work, took out the trash and filled up the sanitation bottles, and at the end I even saw you handling business on the phone. Oh my God, man with all the respect you are one of the hardest working people I’ve seen. ?????????? planet fitness you heard a very good person. Keep working hard, young man.

And if you don’t think that’s impressive I was only there an hour. This guy moves fast.“

“The personnel was friendly and courteous, and the gym was immaculate. The only negative aspect of my previous visit to Planet Fitness was that I was not permitted to leave my bike in the lobby.“

“The trainers at Basement fitness are top notch. After not working out for years and perfecting my dad bod. Basement fitness got me into the best shape of my life tracking both my nutrition and progress in a user friendly app. This place is boutique and offers top notch service.“
