I decided last year that I had to do something about my weight. I got up to nearly 350 pounds by the time I decided to act. After seeking medical help with the initial weight loss, I had to do something to eliminate the fat I couldn't lose with diet alone and I wanted to become more healthy as well. I found Arman on Yelp and after a short conversation, I decided to engage his services. I was immediately put at ease with his personal approach. I think Arman recognized that I was not anywhere near my comfort area so he took the time to fully explain the process, and made sure that I was satisfied with how we would proceed, answering any questions that had before we began. Arman explained that we would be engaged in a combination of weight training, cardiovascular exercises, and regular swimming, explaining the purpose of each. He also modified my nutritional targets, providing a guideline for calorie goals, and maximum intake of carbohydrates and various sugars. I'm nearly complete with my third month. I broke through the weight loss wall I reached with diet alone, losing nearly 20 pounds in these three months. But more importantly I feel better. People notice the difference when they see me and what's more, I've noticed.

Hard to put into words what is special about this private gym. Truly it is unlike any other. And…read morewhile I feel stronger than I started 6 months ago, there isn't any change in my BMI. With that being said, this gym asks more of you than will be asked of you--- maybe ever. Be prepared to go 5-6x a week. Be prepared for your legit excuses to get squashed. Be prepared to be uncomfortable but still learn something about yourself that you didn't know before (even though you think you know yourself pretty well to begin with) I credit this gym to inspiring me to get my business cards finished. I know that sounds unrelated, but fitness & business is actually connected. Also, I have been motivated to do my taxes because there is an expression I learned here: Embrace the suck. And it applies to all the things you don't want to do, and yet you will feel better and stronger once you do it. There is a community feel here. Maybe the most I encountered on the floor was 10 people. Truly a dream come true when you don't want a crowded gym. Trainer knew how to modify exercises for my injuries. If you feel called to join, you should, trust your gut. My experience is just that. Whoever reads this will have a different mindset, attitude and life lived experience.

I can take my time with my workouts without feeling rushed, surrounded by aggressive gym-bros, or having to wait forever for a machine. The location is also super convenient, right by the freeway and close to plenty of stores, so I can easily run errands before or after my workout. The gym is always incredibly clean and hygienic. Unlike other gyms that just smell like bleach, you can tell this space is genuinely and frequently deep cleaned. I also love following the owner on Instagram. She is so helpful, encouraging, and genuinely cares about understanding your goals and helping customize your fitness journey. It's a place I actually enjoy spending time at, whether I'm there for a quick workout or want to stay longer. I'm so happy I found this gym!

We arrived 10 min early so I could fill out forms but the gym opened up 5 min before class. So…read moredon't expect to get in right away for a 5pm class. I did the trial session with a friend on a Friday at 5pm and it was full class but not excessive. My guess is about 40 people in a large room. First you do about 5 min of active stretching and some cardio like running in place or butt kicks, arm swings, etc. Then they go right into explaining the stations. Then they set up several stations/exercises with about 6 people at each station. You work out at your own level, push yourself as hard as you want to. They do come around and check for help. Great session overall within 45 min. I didn't see any wipes to wipe equipment down and that is my pet peeve when people don't wipe down equipment. I get a little weird since you do sweat in the classes. The equipment is in great shape and nothing looked tattered. Just bring your own wipes. The water machine is outside of the main workout room so you have make sure you have plenty of water with you. Otherwise you don't have time in between the transitions to get more. People put their drinks, bags, etc all around the edges of the room so sometimes you have to navigate around that if they aren't paying attention to where they are placing things. They have several areas where you can workout with weights like in a small gym setting in a different room and a cryotherapy chamber. The bathrooms are clean and overall it was a clean space. Just not the weights and main area.
