Training and Discipline in Palm Springs has a smart and successful fitness trainer named Melissa…read moreMathews who works there. Teaching trx training and Bosu exercise. I met her at EOS gym in Palm Springs several years ago. Before she began work in Palm Desert and La Quinta. She was my personal fitness trainer. I went through a health crisis (unexpected heart surgery!) during my time training with Melissa. When I finished recovering at home and returned to the gym, she went above and beyond what would have been expected of a personal trainer. Taking things slow, adapting to what I needed and making it all work. For real. No Joke. I will be forever grateful to her for being there like that. It was difficult yet she remained brave and confident. Making her new healthy exercise program for me happen. Now I am 100% back to normal and I couldn't have done it without her thoughtfulness and foresight. I found Melissa to be very competent and effective as a personal trainer. Which is why I am pleased to recommend her. She is excellent. I am extremely happy and easily rate her five out of five stars. Give her a try. You will not be disappointed.

This year, I walked the entire Living Desert Zoo, twice. That may not sound like a big deal --…read moreunless you knew me back when I was using a cane or walker due to chronic inflammation, years of being on a medicine that caused joint and muscle deterioration, and multiple joint replacements. The version of me that lives in this strong, mobile, joyful body didn't exist a year ago. Last week, friends invited me to hike the entire Camino de Santiago. After taking a deep breath with the realization that I now could walk over 100 miles with friends, the first thing I asked was, "Well, how much Pilates would I have to miss?" Because I'm not sure I can go more than two weeks without my teacher Sean Bergara at Ecore. Sean is one of the best teachers I've ever experienced -- of anything -- and as a casting director and coach, I'm not easy to impress. His passion is palpable. He's written multiple books. He's dealt with his own injuries, so he brings empathy as well as expertise. And every class is different, which means your brain stays just as active as your body. You're never on autopilot. Sean's a master at cues. He'll tell you exactly where you should be feeling the work, so you can learn how to move more effectively and functionally throughout the world, not just sweat through a workout. He offers precise modifications (and I take full advantage -- I still need them all the time!). And because the classes are small -- just 9 reformers -- it feels personal, focused, and safe. My strength, mobility, balance, and confidence have grown exponentially since starting at Ecore in late August of 2024. This isn't just a workout. It's a return to my body -- and to myself. I am grateful for Sean, and would give Ecore ten stars if I could.

From the other trainers to the clients, everyone there is friendly and fun, while also taking their training seriously. Mikey has me excited about training again, staying healthy and I am extremely comfortable with his training style and how he pushes me safely and I feel like I am back where I belong and in just a few weeks I already see the difference.

One can get either a daily pass or a weekly pass, perfect for the many tourists that travel through Palm Springs. The clientele appears to be almost entirely gay men -- I might have seen two women in the entire facility. I felt comfortable wearing very little while working out -- short shorts and a tight tank top, and I fit right in. The equipment and the space itself are fine, a bit rough around the edges and it could be cleaner. And the men's locker room was quite crowded and smelled a bit musty -- the steam room is essentially an orgy room. There are more polished gyms in the area, but if you are visiting and want to get a workout in, as well as have some additional fun, this is the place to go.
