I am still working from home, sitting on my computer all day and I just wanted to move my body for an hour 3 times a week - I was open to push ups, weights, yoga, whatever. After a few weeks, I asked if we could try a little boxing and now I'm obsessed. Hitting the heavy bag feels incredible.

On top of that, ive spent most of my 20s doing HIIT workouts, spartan races, marathons, and sprints without proper pre and post stretches. My session was for 90 minutes but Michael took 120minutes addressing every single one of my aches. The most profound and surprising pain was located on my chest as well as my abdomen. Who knew that a mid abdominal massage would cause so much pelvic floor and lower back pain. I have been ignoring the tight muscles in my abdomen and it has been taking a toll on my lower back. Michael gave me some homework to do and I definitely will implement them daily. As I write this I feel completely loosened up and even feel sleepy. Ive been having some insomnia so hopefully I will have a good night sleep as well tonight. I completely agree with Michael that as health care providers we often fix localized pain with medicine or localized physical therapy without also stepping back and looking at the bigger picture. Carpal tunnel would also be a result of tight brachial plexus and should also be considered when coming up eith a treatment plan. If you're going to have any kind of musculoskeletal surgery, I would be open to consulting Michael first for second opinion. Sometimes its good to have other options other than surgeons who may have habitual tunnel vision.

I have been going to Michael for massages for over a year now, but I leave with homework. He…read moreprovides exercise/stretch assignments based on my body's needs, and really takes the time to explain why he makes that recommendation and how it would impact my body. The first session, he evaluated my body and pointed out things I didn't know were taking its toll. When he asked me to do upper torso twists, he asked if my desk set up resulted with everyone approaching me to my left. Uh, yes ...? He is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. It's not your typical woo woo studio. It's unassuming, and it's effective.

I met Henry about 2 years ago when he joined as one of the athletic coach's at Burbank High school…read more From the first day he's always been full of great and positive energy training our players and offered to train me as well. I've been training with Henry for 2 years now working on speed, agility strength and have learned and seen massive improvements. As a soccer player I never really went to the gym and thought it was a waste of time but Henry has taught me the importance of off the field work, how to fuel my body, and most importantly take care of my body. He's positive energy and motivation has kept me pushing and wanting to train more with him. He always pushes me to reach my maximum potential and he truly is the best trainers out there.

I have been working with Henry for about a month now, and I already feel like this will be the place that I'll be coming for the rest of my life. As a trainer, Henry is kind, patient, and encouraging, but he will also push you because he knows you're capable of it. He is also a truly gifted teacher, and he's been helping me learn about proper form and how to structure my workouts so that I can avoid injury. I also really appreciate that Henry tailors his work with you based upon your own goals. Learning how to work out properly was really important to me, and he's gone out of his way to help me understand how to exercise in a way that never makes me feel silly or weird for not already knowing this stuff. I genuinely look forward to my workouts with Henry -- a sentence I never thought that I would say! If you're someone like me who has struggled with finding a comfortable gym environment, I cannot recommend Henry or the other amazing trainers at this gym enough. I feel so grateful to have found this place!!

He doesn't just put you through workouts -- he teaches proper mechanics and safe training. My main goal was resolving back pain, and that's now completely gone. Alex prioritizes form, discipline, and long-term results. He is patient, professional, and intentional in how he coaches. You can tell he cares about progress, not just getting you through a session. I'll be sending people his way who need help and will definitely be back for sessions in the future. Thank you thank you!!!

Just wanted to say thank you to Alex for all the work he's put into helping me these past 9 months…read more When I first started, my posture was honestly really bad, and seeing how much it's improved now is crazy to me. The progress I've made wouldn't have happened without his patience, knowledge, and consistency. What I appreciate most is not just how good he is at what he does, but the type of person he is. He's super friendly, easy to talk to, and made the whole process feel comfortable and simple from the beginning. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people and wants to see them improve. I honestly see him as more than just a trainer. He's a phenomenal person to work with and someone I have a lot of respect for. His understanding of posture, movement, and overall health is seriously impressive, and he always knows exactly what needs to be worked on and how to explain it in a way that makes sense. Really grateful for everything he's done for me and I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their posture and overall health.

I called Sage and described what I was looking for and my philosophy of fitness training. He listened attentively and was confident he would find a good fit. He paired me up with Michelangelo who is a fantastic trainer. He has a long-term focus on fitness and cares about keeping you strong and fit for real world scenarios. His workouts are always unique and never boring. Sage is very easy to work with and responds promptly to any questions or changes. The gym itself (Montrose location) is very clean and quiet with up to date equipment. I highly recommend for someone looking for excellent trainers and professional communication.

I currently train with Tav, and I can't recommend him enough. People usually stop and look whenever…read morewe are working out because the movements are so crazy looking - in a good way. No gimmicks, no fads, no BS. His rates are more than competitive, and he is very flexible with scheduling. He combines mobility exercises, super creative burpees, and then old school lifts like dead lifts and turkish getups. It all falls under the category of the Physical Subculture movement, and it is truly the best way to increase strength and well being. I never again have to rely on a treadmill or workout machine. We train with kettlebells, standard weights, sand bags, pipes, big rocks, etc. My workouts with Tav even make their way into my professional life; the creativity and intensity fuels my work output and my focus. I seriously try to get every one of my friends to train with him. There's nothing like lifting heavy things over your head to start your day. Workout fads come and go, but Tav's philosophy is timeless. Although, last week at Santa Monica beach there was a certain x-type of group that was in awe of our Alpha Strong sandball workout combination...

I feel like such a bad-ass being able to do turkish get-ups, deadlifts, etc. Rest assured, you will be learning correct form. I have a history of having lower back issues and hurt my wrist at work last year. Exercises can be modified if needed to accommodate any injuries or pain you may have. When I am consistent with my workouts, my lower back pain is non-existent. Check out my review for Benson Lee's Eagle Claw Kung Fu. Tav also teaches my 3 sons, & I can't speak more highly of him.

I would always fail at self-starting a workout or get some form of training, get turned off by their style, and then quit. Mark changed that. He not only keeps workouts fun and interesting, they're always positive. I always feel like I'm making gains, however small, and though he's not afraid to challenge me, it really feels more like health and self-improvement goals than "GET RIPPED!!" (although, I will say, the bod has never looked better... and I'm in my 40's!). Even when we had to go virtual during the pandemic, Mark kept at-home workouts fresh. The positive energetic hit I got three times a week from his workouts during that time probably saved me, no joke. Exercise has that effect, especially when delivered by such an empathetic human. I highly recommend trying him out, in-person or online. It will change you. Maybe in a small way. Maybe a big one. But the change will be good. Promise.
