He's really good at knowing when to push me and when to adjust things, and he always makes sure my form is right. I also really appreciate how encouraging and easygoing he is. The workouts are challenging, but he makes them enjoyable, and I've definitely gotten a lot more confident with strength training since working with him. Really happy with the progress I've made and would definitely recommend Matt!

If you take 2, I'll take two" & he 1000% meant it. In the last 4 months I've worked with mike, I not only completed a life goal of stepping on stage as a competitor but I'm the healthiest as well. The most mind boggling thing working with mike is easily his knowledge of body building and everything that comes with it. From nutrition to muscle growth and he just naturally shares it with you as you work with him. I've learned more in 4 months than I did the past years lifting on my own. The best part is that the best is to come. Mike is an awesome coach who is selfless and reliable. Glad I get work with him. Check out my transformation

Over time, I have trained with some of their trainers one on one and have gained so much knowledge of the world of fitness. From Chris's teachings of conditioning and boxing, to Dom's motivation to achieve my personal record lifts, to Kathy telling me to raise one vertebrae at a time while sweating in yoga, to Cody telling me to "go to failure" when asking how many reps I have to do, these are just a few of the different teachings each trainer has to offer. Over time, I have seen how much they care about their clients and am always astounded by how much their clients grow as they spend their time with The Fit Clinic team. I will always recommend people to the Fit Clinic. You wanna lose weight? The Fit Clinic. You wanna gain muscle? The Fit Clinic. You wanna have a detailed meal plan to fit the diet to reach your goal? The Fit Clinic. The Fit Clinic team always knows how to make each client feel welcome and come into this community of people that help each other grow to their highest potential. [Motion. Muscle. Mindset.] These are the words that show the core of what the Fit Clinic truly is about.

The Trainer Who Keeps Me Coming Back…read more I've worked with a few trainers over the past 30 years, but Ray is truly exceptional. He is the only trainer who not only challenges me but also takes the time to stretch my body and work with my injury. He explained why stretching is an essential part of strength training, which has made a huge difference in recovery journey. Ray tailored my workouts to include rehab for my arm, customizing sessions to my needs. He is a true motivator--encouraging, knowledgeable, and resourceful. He provides valuable feedback on what I need to improve while keeping workouts both challenging and fun. I always stay motivated because he keeps things fresh with different types of exercises. If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares about your progress and well-being, I highly recommend Ray!

I have been working out with Ray Vargas as my trainer for the past 2 years. It has been a wonderful…read moreexperience thus far and has benefitted me greatly in terms of not only improving my physical strength but also with my mental and emotional well being. Ray is extremely accommodative towards his clients' needs and is able to cater the workout sessions based on how the client is feeling. Recently, he was also kind enough to have my 5-yr old son workout with me in a joint session, which was really helpful! Training with Ray has helped me understand how "getting fit" and "weight loss" are lifestyle decisions that require patience and perseverance but are not difficult to achieve ... and in fact the process can be a lot of fun if you find the right trainer like Ray. I would highly recommend Ray!!!

My wife and I just finished our first class at F45 Branham Park, and wow, it was a whole new level…read moreof tough. The workout was called "West Hollywood" - 27 stations, full-body - and it absolutely kicked our butts. I'm not the fittest person and definitely have a lot to work on, so I felt gassed out pretty quickly, especially during the core exercises. It was way different from what I'm used to at Orangetheory, which I've been doing for a couple of months now, and definitely more intense in its own way. Coaches Michelle and Rudy were awesome - they really made sure we didn't feel overwhelmed and were super encouraging. They kept the energy high and took the time to help us get through each station without feeling too lost. It was tough and challenging, no doubt, and I can see why people get hooked - it feels like you're pushing yourself in a way that makes you leave everything out on the floor. There's a reason Mark Wahlberg is a promoter of F45; you leave feeling like you're ready to fight your way through an action movie. If you're ready for an all-out sweat and a solid workout that pushes your limits, F45 is definitely worth a try. Just be ready to feel those core muscles the next day - I know I will!

The reason I reached out to Bez at the beginning was because I was overweight due to my pregnancy . I'm only 5.2 but weighted 165 lbs. I couldn't even finished 60 mins classes at beginning and I had back pain too . I was so desperate by that time and wanted to try different aggressive weight loss including medication . The good thing about Bez is , he will always listen to you and let you try them out . So ! You will understand it won't work ... the only thing is to diet + keep exercising!!!! I've lost 30lbs with Bez thru 4 classes per week constantly . Most importantly , weight lose experience was not a pain for me anymore because I developed new running habit ! Running was never my thing for the past 32 years, I can only run 0.4 miles and I would need to take a break. Bez told me he is going to turn me to a runner and I didn't believe in him . But with his methodology running training, I can now run 3 miles !!! We're going to aim 4 miles pretty soon. Bez became our best friend , my husband and my brother also taking class with Bez over the weekend . One thing that I learn from Bez over the past months is never give up ..... you will make it there . This is way more than body training, it's more about mental healthy and pain management which can be beneficial to me for the whole life time !!!!

Even when busy, it's usually no or short wait times for machines/equipment Cons: parking is competitive and limited. Gym itself is not super clean. Bathrooms and locker rooms are sort of yuck. It's seems like a combo of mess from customers and poor cleaning products or timing coupled with deferred maintenance on the facility. They are something to avoid while at this gym. Overall, this is an ok place to work out. There's also a pool (small) and sauna.

I'm a senior and I wasn't happy about the big upswing in price over just overnight! I took session of personal training but then the next time I came in to get requited with the machines there were two people out the counter and it was like they couldn't be bothered to help me. They acted very put off that I even asked. I noted that some people using the machines sit on them while they reading their phone instead of actually using the machine so you're having to wait until they get off.

I have been training with Lea for over 2.5 years now. She is a skilled, professional, and…read moreknowledgeable trainer, with a wide arsenal of workout strategies. She has put me through diverse workout routines based on goals we discuss, and we have so far hit each and every goal! And I was not an easy case. I was a case that needed attention to subtle detail, to eliminate injury/cheat patterns while increasing strength. She has a focus and understanding of good posture and form. It is hard to find trainers who understand good form, let alone be dedicated to ensuring you achieve it. She does this by being creative, and finding the right workout routines to build strength to achieve form in more challenging routines. Most clients like to sweat, and you most certainly will, even more so when you don't get to cheat with your form (ouch)! Training with Lea, you will achieve your goals, increase your strength, while preventing, and even eliminating, injury patterns through good form. I have a lot of respect for Lea, and over the years, she has become a friend, in addition to a fantastic coach that challenges me.

I'm a full time working mother so you can imagine my time is super limited. Lea is also a mother and she understands how hard it is for people like me to make time for myself. My goals were to work out with Lea 3x a week and do my cardio on my off days. I cannot tell you how refreshing it is to have a trainer that doesn't stick you on cardio machines during sessions. Lea keeps my workouts challenging and is always pushing me to the next level. I never lifted heavy before and now I am OBSESSED with weights because of Lea. She always has a way to keep things fresh and interesting. Oh, and she knows how to read me REALLY well. If I am tired or a bit down, she knows it without me even saying a word. If you want an intelligent, well educated trainer, Lea is your girl! Eat clean, do your part, and she will help you reach your goals. She's also a title holding powerlifter! Yep! She rocks!

(update 3/21/21) I must update my review after a very disturbing encounter with the owner Keith…read more After being a loyal client for about 1.5 years, I was following his cancellation policy (I texted him at least 12 hours BEFORE our next session), he agreed via text it was ok to reschedule (he does this for all clients as long as it's within the policy window outside of emergencies, pretty standard). Then, later that week during my session, he seemed very angry but incredibly passive aggressive. He said I could not reschedule and he's keeping my $75 for that session. I was shocked, caught off-guard because I followed his guidelines. I went back and looked at my texts, not only did I follow his policy, but we supported his business through covid so you'd think we would have at least ONE conversation over the 1.5 years in regards to rescheduling or his dissatisfaction. Since day 1, I was very open about how we needed flexibility in our busy schedules. Later that week, he texted me wanting to drop us as clients (surprised, but completely fine with it) and said he'd refund my 8 sessions for the rest of the month. Well, I can clearly count to 9, so I let him know he owed me for 2 sessions (Sunday + this one). Yeah, he tried to steal from us 2 times. I gave him a chance to explain himself, this was the professional and kind response I got from him via text, he told us to go F*** ourselves (see screenshot, thanks Keith for the evidence!). I also noticed he did not honor his off-peak hours 9am-11am at $40/session. Beware of this owner and his business practices. I will be going back to all my monthly Venmo payments to ensure he didn't overcharge us. More than happy to resolve this issue still and looking to get our money back. Next step will be to report to consumer protection bureaus. I will update this review if anything changes.
