I'd been working with Theresa for about a year and a half, three times a week, and trained up to the point I entered the hospital. Today, is 3 weeks from my surgery. My recovery has been unbelievably smooth and quick. Everyone, from my docttors to my physical therapists, are blown away by how well I'm doing. This is my eighth major surgery in seven years, and most of them were extremely difficult to recover from. When I told them all about the work I had been doing with Theresa, and explained how she had modified exercises for me, every single one of them credited her for the speed and quality for my recovery. She truly made the hugest difference in my life. In fact, my surgeon's office told me they wanted me to not just have follow-up tphysical herapy, but also instructed me to start working with her again right away,, and not stop. When a neurosurgeon actually compliments the work of a pilates instructor, you know they're special. No one will take care f you the way Theresa does. She is a bona fide healer.

I trained at Essers for about 6 months. It is the worst gym in Los Angeles I've ever visited. It's…read moreliterally a hole in the wall. The membership fees are a bit less than some high-end or boutique gyms, but are still pretty steep for what you get. The location is also rather inconvenient, and the overall atmosphere at Essers of LA feels small, claustrophobic and unimpressive. In comparison, some other gyms are more expensive, but you get what you pay for--offering a more comfortable and well‑situated experience. When they state their gym lacks the "bells and whistles" of a certain competitor, they mean it. Also, I had my car window smashed in once while parking there, so beware!!

In the midst of gym closures and covid outbreaks, I was lucky to have found Whitney and Byron's…read morestudio to support my fitness and health goals! From the moment we chatted on the phone and initial call regarding my goals and healthy history, I immediately knew they cared and wanted to ensure there was a good plan for me. I was able to only commit to 2 months due to my move but I got the best results beyond my expectations with my progress, accountability and the overall experience of waking up so early to train. The space is spotless, super clean and felt so private. I was able to really work on my moves and get a lot of things corrected by Whitney who truly cares about long term maintenance and therapy. It was awesome to really find trainers who you can also text any time and provide you with abundance of information needed for you to really lose weight, get stronger and have a great routine with. I highly recommend Whitney and Byron, whether you are a beginner or long time fitness expert. They will go out of their ways to make sure you are comfortable and meeting your goals. I will definitely be back once I am living on the west side again.

I started working with Whitney in early 2024, after many years of battling with an irregular or…read morenonexistent fitness routine (and subsequently poor body image). As someone who did not have a strong foundation in the gym, I was looking for a trainer who could create a bespoke program and help me master form from the ground up. From day one, Whitney was encouraging, thorough, and helped me feel welcome in an environment that had at one time brought me a lot of anxiety. She was able to diagnose the muscular imbalances that were causing pain, and we set out on a routine that truly transformed my life! I, like many of us, spend a lot of time working on a computer and my posture really suffered from it. Whitney focused on strengthening and lengthening muscles that were previously pulling my head and shoulders forward, which has reduced a ton of neck & upper back discomfort and improved my posture overall. She also helped me build strength and better muscular balance throughout my lower body and abdomen. Over the 7 months we worked together, I lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle, while also eliminating the lower back pain I had been struggling with for years. I lost 6+ inches from the areas that were causing me the most insecurity, and gained definition in my glutes, shoulders, back and legs. My time with Whitney recently came to an end after I moved to another part of town, but I would absolutely still be working with her if I could. She and Byron genuinely transformed my relationship with my body, instilled confidence and strength I had not been able to access on my own, and have laid the foundation for me to continue (and even look forward to!) a lifelong fitness journey.

That specialist said that he couldn't do anything for me, and sent me to PT. He just wanted me to take drugs for the pain. PT saw me for a few visits and they said that there was nothing that they could do for me. They too gave up, so I gave up. I went 6 months just sitting and getting worse, until I was introduced to Linda Lack and TBFM. I'll admit that I wasn't expecting much at first after my recent experiences. Now, after months of working together I have made unbelievable progress and my pain levels are down 90% most days, 100% some days, and at its worst it never gets near what it had been before starting TBFM. I have my life back again! I whole heartedly recommend TBFM and Linda Lack to anyone dealing with an injury and pain. I've referred neighbors and they too sing her praises. You won't be disappointed! If you do the work, you'll see the results.

I have been going for 16 weeks now and I can honestly say that I have never felt better. Not only have I lost weight, but I have also gained self-confidence and a sense of accomplishment.

If you are looking for a gym where you can achieve your fitness goals and feel great about yourself in the process, look no further than this one.

I can see myself becoming stronger every week They have a diverse selection of classes. Each are about 50 minutes long. I started with 9 foundation classes before enrolling in the more advanced classes - which really helped me improve my form & learn the moves. There is no pressure to overexert yourself but more of a focus to acknowledge where you are & help you gain strength over time. Which as a semi slender couch potato with a previous car injury I truly appreciate this outlook. Overall, I've noticed my body has improved & so have my stress levels. About the studio itself: everything is new & well maintained. I appreciate the commitment to non toxic hand sani & cleaning products. The location is perfectly nestled in the Culver Art District & it is nice area to walk around after class. You barely hear the outside traffic (if there is any). It is a peaceful atmosphere. Parking is easy to find on the streets. There's a few bus stops not too far away as well.
