I've taken about 3 of the HIIT Strength and Conditioning class. Modern Fitness is located at the…read moreend of a business plaza. It's pretty small space that is separated to 3 main areas: front stretching area and two rooms that are used for the gym sessions. There are little cubicles in the hallway to stow your stuff and a small recovery room and bathroom. Everything was very clean and towels are provided. The class is about roughly a 35-40 minute class. There are multiple stations where you do 2 sets of 45 seconds and as many reps as possible in that time. You rotate through quite a few stations. Overall, it is a pretty good workout. It's not the hardest HIIT class I've been to, but I like it for one big reason and the main reason for the 5 stars: the machines. I've been to many different style HIIT classes and this is the only one that has machines incorporated for isolations. From a bicep curl machine, hip thrust machine, leg curl machines, smith machine, and my favorite: the leg press. I don't have room for a leg press at my home gym so this was nice to use again. Lu, the owner/trainee, does a great job and not only remembering everyone's names, but capabilities. He also does a great job bouncing around help setting up machines and correcting form while the workout is going on. I have 2 minor negatives: 1: I'm not a fan of at the rack with the bar for bench press you start from the safeties. I get why they do it for more efficiency when switching between people, but much rather start from the J cups. 2: stretching is not built in so you have to get here early and stretch on your own. Overall, I've added this gym to my regular rotation of gyms I go to for HIIT classes each week, not really for the difficulty but for the incorporation of the machines into it. I still get a good workout, my HR just isn't as high as other gyms. The culture seems pretty good as regular members seem to know each other well and Lu knows each person well. Would recommend if you live close.

My…read morehusband has been with the gym for about 6-7 years (I think), and I only started going recently about 3-4 months ago. You really can't beat the price, especially with the amazing coaches who lead the classes here. One thing I've found that's incredibly rare is finding good coaches--it's so hard to find them in SoCal. Edith, Manny, Rudy, and Older Manny are wonderful teachers who push you to your limit. They care about a lot and really get to know you. As a woman, joining a combat sports class can feel a bit intimidating, but they make it easy to put in the work and see great results. Love the team and the people at this gym. So many good things to say!

Attending these group workouts 5-6 days a week got me to push my limits to a level that i simply could not have done on my own. Josh is a great and very supportive coach who is present and attentive to everyone during the workouts. He will make sure your technique is proper, and he will gladly share the knowledge he's gained from years of experience. The community is also very supportive and welcoming. I would recommend buying a 1 month unlimited membership because it will motivate you to go every day to get your money's worth! And you don't even have to think about the workout--it has already been made for you. All you have to do is show up!! I am very grateful to Josh for helping educate and inspire me.

Everyone has a different story, comes from different sectors in the workforce, and a lot of different personalities. All that being said, when you walk thru the door it seems as though you are transported to all having the common goal of finding a safe place to equally work on our own personal goals while cheering on and helping each other. It's always lighthearted and fun, and whatever area you want to grow in in life there's someone there to help you. Rachel has done an excellent job of making the gym relaxed enough that you don't feel judge and intense enough to kick your butt to hit your goals. She also makes sure you feel like family, always checking in with your gym goals and personal goals. Ensuring you that she's there to help you grow and be supported. The gym is full of all different personalities, gym faces, and gym goals but we're all a family. A lot of gyms are intimidating or you feel judged, and at explicit Rachel makes sure everyone is welcome. You just have to come and meet the crew there's always get togethers, be it holiday parties, birthdays, pickleball meet ups, hiking, or out right spartan races... the whole group comes to what they have time for and no one JUDGES. You want a trainer that pushes you to your goals, listens to you with intention, and makes you feel like you can be yourself... come see Rachel. The nicest kickass trainer you are ever gonna meet!!! Want a gym where you can have resting bitch face cuz it's early, or stare off like deer caught in headlights cuz the workout is kicking your ass... and NO ONE JUDGES you... come to Explicit fitness Laguna Niguel!!!

Adam has been my trainer for several years now, and I've been amazed at the results both to my physical and mental well-being. Personal training isn't something that just impacts your physique - I've experienced more clarity in my thinking at work, better emotional stability, and overall increase in happiness with my consistent routine. More importantly than the results, however, is that I've been injury-free during the years I've been training with Adam - he knows what he's doing and personalizes your diet and exercise plan according to your body's strengths and weaknesses. Many beginners are quick to work-out on their own, doing complex lifts with too much weight and incorrect form, only to blow out their back or aggravate a muscle and be out of commission for months. Don't make that mistake - have Adam in your corner to compound improvements to your health the right way!
