I chose Chris to build my Cyr Wheel because of his reputation and influence on the Flow Arts…read morecommunity. This is a large statement considering that I had various local builders to choose from, yet decided the extra $400 cost meant I was getting a superior product. Though he seems to be a nice guy, purchasing a wheel from Chris was extremely frustrating. Not only was his word unreliable, but he treated my order like one of those pesky favors you wish you hadn't committed to. Something tells me he wouldn't treat anyone this way, face-to-face. The full length story is an arduous journey that I don't wish on any of you, so I will speed it up. Basically, while Chris was prepping for his annual Burning Man trip, he got distracted and mailed me the wrong wheel by mistake (I suppose it belonged to Shaquille O'Neal since it towered over me). Instead of tracking down the other customer and reuniting us with our proper wheels, he proposed building me ANOTHER WHEEL from scratch. I was skeptical and asked for a refund. He assured me that he was a "man of honor" and that he would do the right thing. I agreed to wait ONE month for the new wheel. That "one month" turned into nearly 3 months (Sept 02-Nov 22) of spotty communication with so many missed deadlines that I completely lost track... and eventually surrendered. If you take anything away from this, let it be that I waited nearly 7 months for my order. All that said, the proper wheel is built well and I am very happy with it. I just have never experienced negligence like this before and I hope it doesn't happen to anybody else.

I found Chris when I decided to try a new activity...The Zig. I was a little scared at first (the…read morezig is pretty big and intimidating). Chris is a WONDERFUL coach. He is always encouraging and helpful. He made me feel like I was learning quickly and he never got frustrated or seemed annoyed when I had trouble doing a skill. Chris has a great way of teaching through positive reinforcement--some other coaches and trainers I have worked with have made me feel like a failure if I couldn't do something--not Chris. He has so much passion for what he is teaching it makes you love the sport even more. I have learned multiple skills from him from Zig to acro to the flying rings down at the beach in Santa Monica. If you have the opportunity to learn from Chris TAKE IT! You will be happy that you did! You will also be a stronger and more positive person because of it.

I've…read morelearned everything I know from them and have not been shy to go to the gym alone anymore or be clueless on what im doing. This gym has a lot of great equipment and it is not packed 24/7 like other big gyms. Makes it so easy to get a workout in with new machines and no wait times. It's also always clean all the time. The personal training here is my favorite part. My trainer is Hugo and the results are great when I stay consistent and it is worth the sweat and soreness. Aaron, Joanna, Larissa, and Steven are also amazing trainers and everyone here is always looking out for each other. They also recently started a free running club, looking forward to joining that! Of course personal training and gym membership is different like it would be at any other gym. The gym membership is 100% worth it and so is the personal training in my experience. 10/10 recommended this private gym!!

I've been strength training on and off for a few years before coming to Ed. Various injuries over…read morethe years have made me hesitant of certain exercises in fear of further exacerbating my injuries. I reached out to Ed - not because I wanted a personal trainer, but because I wanted someone who takes a holistic approach to health and movement. Ed's approach goes beyond what I've experienced from other trainers. His strength training programs are efficient and KILLER - I saw more results in a couple months vs the couple years I've been training by myself. More importantly, I felt confident that the exercises were safe and did not exacerbate my injuries! Ed's advice also extends to nutrition and postural restoration (e.g., proper breathing techniques). I find the latter to be CRUCIAL. Stress and tension impact our nervous system and the way that we carry ourselves. Learning proper techniques to correct our dysfunction is vital to living a life with fewer injuries. I trust that Ed is the right person for my goal of staying active and injury-free as I age!

Brandy, I just want to take a moment to truly congratulate you and give you your flowers for…read moreeverything you've done--not just for your business, but for the entire Whittier community. Heart and Soul Yoga is more than just a place to practice--it's a space that genuinely brings people together, uplifts energy, and creates a sense of peace that's hard to find these days. That kind of environment doesn't just happen--it comes from leadership, intention, and a real love for people, and you embody all of that. I have to say--I'm honestly hooked on your space. From the moment I stepped in, I felt it. And I have to give credit where it's due--this all came from a great recommendation from your neighbor Tyn. He really put you on a pedestal, and now I completely understand why. You've played such a big role in making Whittier a better place. From supporting local businesses to showing up for the community in ways that often go unseen, your impact is felt by so many. It's inspiring to watch someone not only build something successful, but also use it to give back and create connection. You truly bring out the best in everyone around you. Your consistency, your kindness, and your dedication do not go unnoticed. People like you are what keep small communities strong, and it's honestly an honor to be part of a neighborhood that has someone like you leading with heart. Thank you for always pouring into others, for creating a space that feels safe and welcoming, and for continuing to elevate everyone around you. Whittier is better because of you--no question about it. Wishing you continued growth, success, and nothing but good energy always. You deserve it all.

Had about 6 sessions and every session he showed the same diligence in his assessments. He would take videos of my run form, give feedback and explain why certain movements can cause muscles strain/ discomfort! I had persistent knee pain that would not go away. I've tried massage, acupuncture, rest, stretching but nothing would resolve the issue. After 2 sessions with Jeffery, I started noticing significant improvement with pain relief and run performance. Every session Jeffery would build on the exercise and send videos/training schedule on an app. The app was very helpful, with daily reminders for exercises and help me adhere to my rehab goals. I've been pain free after my 6 session and would likely return for sessions to help with performances /strengthening exercises

I was referred to Dr. Jeffery Su by my partner, who found him via Yelp. I decided to go with Dr. Su…read moreafter researching all of my physical therapist options through my health insurance and found that they all had terrible Yelp reviews. The reason my partner liked Dr. Su was because he actually tries to help you without roping you into seeing him multiple times just to get money out of you, which I found to be very true - he was able to fix me in just 3 sessions. Paying the $165 per session out of pocket (still FSA/HSA eligible though), was well worth the money in my opinion because I was desperate to get better from my pickleball injury and get back to playing ASAP. Before coming to Dr. Su, I was trying to diagnose myself with ChatGPT and was following their prescribed regimen to heal myself. I wish I had gone to Dr. Su earlier because he was able to diagnose my issue in the first session and give me actionable strengthening exercises (he posts all the assigned exercises, with instructional videos, on the PtEverywhere App) to provide me with some immediate relief from the pain. Dr. Su said that I had strained my (sacrotuberous) ligament, which ChatGPT said would take 4-6 weeks to heal. After religiously doing my strengthening exercises for 4 weeks, I found that my pain was low enough to where Dr. Su approved my slow return to Pickleball and Aerial Silks (he's incredibly responsive via text). I found that as I would play, the same right side was continuing to give me trouble. So I went back to see him a 2nd time. At this session he was able to diagnose that my right hip was super tight and was impeding my recovery - he wasn't able to discover that during the first session because I was in so much pain that he was only focused on fixing that first. He used a strap to pull on my right hip to gain some mobility back, but it barely moved. The next couple of days I was incredibly sore but continued to religiously complete my newly assigned strengthening exercises along with foam rolling (if he forgets to posts the exercises on the app, just text him and he'll post them right away). Whatever he did to me, worked because by the 3rd day, my pain was gone! That along with the foam rolling was probably exactly what I needed too because I was able to easily move into my right front split without the tightness I had been experiencing for years! My follow-up appointment was a week and a half later with Dr. Su and I had no pain to report to him. He tested my right hip again and was able to finally get the head of my right femur to actually "bounce"/move normally during this 3rd session. He taught me some lifetime maintenance and strengthening exercises for my overall health and longevity for playing pickleball, which he posted on the app. He also sent me some links to adjustable home weights to help me save space in my apartment. I generally have trouble sticking to self-guided workouts but Dr. Su simplified them to just 25 minutes of exercises, twice a week. Hey - if that's all I need to keep playing pickleball without injury for the rest of my life, I'm sold. Sign me up!
