i've trained with johnny for over 5 years, both in his home gym and online. he is an excellent trainer and has helped me achieve my fitness goals! several years i ago i was looking for someone to hold me accountable to work out and to help get me toned. i'm so happy i found johnny! after my initial workout i walked around sore like i'd just been hit by a semi-truck for a couple days so yeah - i was definitely impressed! over the years johnny has been a dependable trainer but also a friend and occasional therapist. our weekly sessions have helped motivate me to eat right and do additional work-outs throughout the week. hiring a personal trainer felt like a luxury to me when i signed up initially but A. his prices are fair and B. investing in your health is worth every penny. i push myself more in his workouts than i ever do when working out at alone or in group fitness classes and for that i think this is definitely worth it. read more

I've been working out with Johnny for seven years, and he is hands down the best trainer I've ever worked with. I can count on Johnny to make every session action-packed, challenging, and full of fun and laughs. He has coached me through a hip injury/surgery, and always meets me at my ability level. I never thought I'd be in the best shape of my life in my 40's, and I have Johnny to thank for it! read more

LOVE Johnnys classes! I can't describe the feeling you get from doing a class with him. I started off thinking I couldn't do it then midway through the class you forget you're in class and get swept up with the music and his motivating words! Must try! read more

Johnny Debut is perhaps one of the most influential trainers I've come across in my fitness journey. Going from being a high level athlete to someone who just needs a great workout that fits in my work life, Johnny Debut was the perfect fit. The amount he cares about you is real. One of the best things he's ever said in a class i took with him was "you may think you're here for how you look but i promise you it's not. It's so much more than that" health is more than just physical and he takes the holistic approach to your fitness. Not to mention he's a hell of a lot of fun and you'll always walk away from your time with Johnny exhausted but rejuvenated! read more

Debut Industries has officially changed my life! I came to Johnny as a client almost 9 years ago and achieved my goal weight a little over three months! I started 180 and lost 20 pounds in his Program and with the extensive education I gained through Johnny I was able to loose another ten pounds on my own hitting my goal weight of 150. Nutrition and Excersize go hand in hand and boy have I learned . Johnny makes you feel like you're just chilling with a friend when the whole time you're working out and learning tons! Make Debut Industries your new adventure in 2023, if not now, when? read more

I can't say enough great things about Johnny. I've trained with him for over a year both in person and virtually and loved my results! I am a person who typically hates working out but he (mostly, ha) made it fun and I didn't dread them like I normally do! He's hilarious and kind and is extremely knowledgeable. He's great at keeping you motivated. read more

4 years later and Johnny is still going strong...His personal training style is motivational, lifestyle friendly meaning he gets you outside and not just in gym lifting heavy weights. He adjusts for your fitness level and interests, and helps with flexibility and mobility. Johnny's teaching spinning at Equinox and other places so you can get your cardio on while training with him. In addition, he's that cool guy with a big heart you'd always want to hang and be friends with even which he's kicking your booty during a training session. If he has openings, book him. His prices are reasonable as well. read more

I'm not big on writing reviews, but if any one deserves one it's Johnny! He will not only change how you think about working out, but he will also change how you think about yourself! Which to me was a game changer on my weight loss journey. Due to personal reasons I was no longer able to make my in person sessions, but that didn't mean the support was gone. read more

Johnny is the absolute best - I've been training with him for six years now, he's practically family. He has a great personality - tough enough to keep you motivated but fun enough to keep you showing up. Join the débutants- you won't regret it! read more

I trained with Johnny for just over a year and it was fun, therapeutic, and yielded great results. I am sad to have lost him to Florida.

I've been training with Johnny for almost six years now, and he really is the best!! He got me into the best shape of my life, while making the whole experience fun and exciting! After six years, I still don't think I've ever done the same exercise routine twice. Love you Johnny! read more

Johnny is the BEST. Six years ago I was totally stressed out by work and not taking care of myself when I began searching for a trainer. What I loved about Johnny from the beginning was that he not only cared about my physical wellness but also my emotional wellness too. He is a great listener and pushes you to reach your goals while being sensitive to meeting you right where you are. I cannot recommend him highly enough! As educator going through some of the toughest years during COVID, Johnny has kept me sane and healthy. read more

TL;DR version: If you're reading this review you found the right place. Get started with Johnny right now. You cannot lose. Longer version below. I decided to start working with Johnny because of all the positive Yelp reviews and now it is my turn to write my own. I want to go over three points: 1. Why work with a personal trainer. 2. Why work with Johnny Debut specifically. 3. My experience. 1. It takes a lot of time and energy to get and stay healthy. Most people only have a small window of time to focus on their health. Taking the time to research what you need to be doing to get healthy just makes that small window of time even smaller--and there's no chance that you are going to be able to learn everything that a certified trainer (like Johnny) knows. If you work with a trainer you get someone that knows what they are doing and what you need to be doing and you get to spend 100% of your time and energy on working out with full confidence that you are doing the right things. This may not be a universal truth for all personal trainers but it is definitely a fact for Johnny Debut. 2. All of the other reviews point out what a great person Johnny is. That is all true and it makes a big difference. Johnny is a great person BUT, Johnny also knows his sh*t! His experience and training gives him an edge over other trainers. He doesn't just regurgitate fad workouts or make all his clients do the same workouts. Every person gets a workout that is part of a larger plan that he has for you and your goals. That kind of long-term view and planning is so beneficial and it's crazy that we (Debutants) get that kind of attention. 3. My experience: I am 6'3" and I weighed 250 lbs when I started with Johnny. I was in a combined rut of pandemic weight-gain PLUS I am also recovering from a catastrophic motorcycle accident that has affected my hips and mobility AND I am an avid cyclist (I ride 4-6 days/week). I was still overweight and I knew I was shorting myself on exercise and not doing things that would make me feel better. I just didn't know what I needed to be doing. So, while I am not a typical case, look what kind of complicated mess I brought to Johnny to work with and he picked it up like it was nothing! I signed up for the ten session intro thinking "I'll figure out what to do and do it on my own." Hahaha! That was 18 months ago! From the VERY FIRST SESSION I felt great! Like, so good. Over this period of time I have lost weight for sure (about 40 lbs). But most importantly I have felt great the whole time. That's huge! That has been a tangible benefit since day one. There's no way I can replicate what Johnny does and for what he charges, there's no reason not to work with Johnny. I could go on for another 10 pages. There are so many nice things to say about Johnny and about my experience working with him that it's difficult to get all out. I hope that my brief review encourages you to just pick up the phone and start working with Johnny. You will not regret it. TL;DR, Johnny is the best. read more

Johnny has the BEST ENERGY! I have been to his group classes, spin class, and as a personal trainer. I hate working out and only show up because he makes it fun. I have been working out with him weekly for years and would have quit a long time ago if it were not for him. He is the 4th trainer I have tried and the best one I found. If you want to make a change in your health reach out to him today and see if he has any openings!! You won't regret it! read more

I went to Johnny when I was going through some big life changes. It was my first time working with a personal trainer and I didn't know what to expect. We worked together for three or four months and I learned more about my body, equipment, biology, and dedication than I had in my whole life. I used to think it was actually impossible for me to work out more than twice a week and now I work out every day and have the motivation and discipline to do it at home by myself. I learned so much and just wish Johnny would move back to Los Angeles. read more

My main focus in coming to Debut Industries was to improve my overall level of fitness and promote a healthier and more active lifestyle. I was concerned about aggravating my shoulder injury and needed someone who knows how to work through injuries and other challenges. Johnny is extremely knowledgable about physiology and how to modify exercises to protect, support and strengthen areas of injury. I am continually impressed with his ability to quickly modify any activity (often before I even realize it needs to be changed), and I appreciate his detailed descriptions of how and WHY to do exercises in a specific way. Johnny is also my accountability coach on everything from being active, eating better and maintaining a balance in my life to support my mental health. Johnny and Debut Industries have changed my life and I am so grateful for our time together every week. read more

What can I say about Johnny? If he can get this 44 year old body to move and work in ways I could only have dreamed about... he can work with anyone! I was embarrassingly unfit and overweight and he diligently worked with me until one push up became 5 push ups, I learnt what a burpee is and even mastered olympic squats. Johnny loves his job and loves his clients. It's apparent in the way he teaches and how encouraging he is in every way. He has a genuine interest in who you are as a person and wants you to succeed. Plus... he pushes you, he breaks down your perceived barriers within yourself. I'm now someone who enjoys working out!! read more

If you're looking for a personal trainer that's going to support, and motives you Johnny is the one. He is really great at what he does. If you're new to the workout scene , he will work with you . He pushes you because he know you CAN DO IT. I have had trainer in the past that just care about making money and not their clients. Johnny is a thoughtful and caring trainer. He's the best kept secret in Echo Park . Try him out and you will never want to stop. Get on a healthy path for your life. read more

Hands down one of the best in the industry! I started training with Johnny probably at the end of 2015 maybe 2016! Haha Can't believe it's been that long! Time flies when you're having fun and that's exactly what it has been with Johnny. It has been life changing. When I started training with Johnny, I was coming off a very dark period in my life that left me mentally and physically out of shape. Johnny tapped into my strengths and helped me pull out my motivation and desire to be the best me I could be. With his help I lost over 30 lbs and got into the best shape of my life. I also gained a tremendous amount of respect for myself - mind and body. I now crave working out and being healthy. I love being physically and mentally strange and all this was possible because of Johnny. His personality coupled with his vast amount of knowledge about health and fitness made all the difference. I worked with other trainers, and it's not always as effective or the right fit. You have to find THE ONE - the RIGHT ONE. I'm so glad I did! read more

I took a spin class w Johnny while in town on vacation. I had never taken a spin class before in my life (I'm more into weight-lifting) but I really enjoyed it. I was pretty nervous beforehand because I had no idea what I was in for, but Johnny showed my fiance and I the way it worked and made us feel comfortable. He is a total natural as a spin instructor combining his knowledge of training with his talent for entertaining and inspiring people. I also had a chance to check out his studio gym and was very impressed. I wish we lived in LA so I could train w Johnny all the time. read more

Johnny Debut will kick your ass and make you laugh so hard that you don't even realize he's doing it. He's the kind of trainer who believes in you when you don't believe in yourself and pushes you to places that you didn't think you could go. Over the past year, he has helped me to totally transform my body and he's helped me to find my confidence. I'm stronger now at age 43 than I've ever been in my life. I love Johnny and I look forward to my sessions with him every week. If you're lucky enough to work with him, you'll love him too. read more

You want to be the best?? You have to train with the BEST!!! Johnny Debut is the motivator you need to get your booty in gear.

The worries you've been stressing over- you just let go! Working with him I got the in the best shape of my life and always left his workouts feeling accomplished. He shreds your self-doubt, and gives you the tools you need to manage yourself.

Can't refer him enough, you really get more than expected from Johnny, and he always brings it!! read more

Johnny creates an environment where you know that your life and health are uniquely important and deserving. After training with Johnny for six months the positive effects in my strength and health are noteworthy. But more importantly, everything else I do in my life feels easier and more productive, because he has changed my entire relationship to health, exercise and lifestyle. Johnny has a wealth of knowledge about fitness and nutrition. He teaches from his heart and you can tell that he is sincerely invested in your success. He makes it fun and he always makes me laugh, but don't be mistaken...he also is extremely careful and precise. Johnny is always "in the moment" and that allows and encourages you to be there as well. He individualizes the workouts in a fluid manner to push you to your most productive level. His workouts are full of surprises and challenges and I never get bored. I was someone who used to dread workouts; now my week feels incomplete without my training sessions. read more

I went to Johnny because I had not worked out for over 6 months and needed some motivation to get back into it. I was not disappointed! Johnny is so motivating, personable, warm and has so much knowledge about your body and working out in general. He is a great teacher and can push you to levels that you did not think you could achieve. I highly recommend him to everyone, whatever level of fitness you are at. He is very very good at his job. read more

I've been going to Johnny since 2014 when my sister was getting married and I was maid of honor and needed to look amazing! Not only did he manage to do that with my body but until now everyone talks about how fit I was at that wedding. I've been going to him ever since not because he delivers results (which is super important) but also that he is good energy and can in a matter of seconds flip your mood from sad and depressed to happy and dancing! So I call him my therapist as well. And I'm not the only one, others I've referred to him feel the same and thank me for referring. So what I'm trying to say is that if you want to change your life for the better, call Johnny and get a 12 session package... your body will thank you, your health will thank you, your mental health will thank you and people around you will thank you! read more

Johnny is the best and worth every penny! He makes me want to be a better person, believes I'm worth it, and is such a good role model for everyone. A real man can tell a group of strangers he loves them! One day I hope to be as healthy and loving as Johnny. He's done his self work, follows his passions, and will help you do yours and follow yours too! read more

Johnny has got to be one of the best trainers I know! His passion & drive for fitness comes through like a light! I look forward to getting my butt kicked everytime I'm with him even if I walk away sore lol. My friends are hooked on him too and can't get enough. If you want someone to motivate you, and help you at ANY level he is the man. You will not regret it!! Love him!!! read more

I have had countless trainers in my time and hands down Johnny is the absolute best. He's incredibly motivating, endearingly inspiring and super knowledgeable when it comes to how our bodies work. He knows when to push you and when to pull you up when you're down. I began going to him after my divorce. My first several sessions I cried because it was such a release to feel like someone actually cared about my well being and for three years after that first day, Johnny never stopped believing in me. He taught me so much about exercise and nutrition, but most of all he taught me how to believe in myself. And yes I lost 20 pounds while going to him, but the self confidence, self motivation and self care he taught me was his greatest gift to me, and in my opinion it's the reason why he stands out from the rest. I moved across town and he was the only thing from my past life that I truly miss. In fact, I don't think I'll ever stop trying to find a way back to Johnny. He's the absolute best in the business and I promise that you won't regret your decision to become a debutant. read more

Johnny has been training me for 1 year and I can sincerely say that he is exceptional in every way!! He has empowered me not only physically, but mentallyl. His style of training is holistic, realistic, direct, and creative. I never get bored with my workouts. I laugh, yell, grunt, cry and Johnny is right there pushing me forward, never allowing me to give up. Positive energy exudes throughout his home gym. It is such a great environment to workout in--indoors and outdoors. Johnny is very professional and is well educated in health and fitness. He knows that the study of health and fitness is forever growing, therefore he continuosly educates himself and stays up to date with the latest research. Since I have been training with Johnny, I am a better person to myself. His training sessions are also mentally therapeutic. I have learned so much about myself and have a much more positive outlook on life. I highly recommend Johnny to anyone that is ready to transform themselves to a healthier, stronger, and positive human being--spiritually, mentally, and physically. read more

JOHNNY IS THE BEST!!! I was so nervous to see a personal trainer as I A. hate working out, and B. have a really bad neck injury. I chose Johnny because his fee is WAY cheaper than other personal trainers, and I knew it wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg to see him twice a week. Johnny made me feel comfortable immediately, and really listened to what my goals were. He altered workouts for my neck injury, gave me a basic nutritional food plan, and kicked my ass in the best way. He will push you in a loving a way, and will keep you inspired and motivated. I live up a steep hill in Silver Lake, and I will never forget the day I walked up it and had no problems (usually I would huff and puff up the hill, take a break, and feel like dying). This was only weeks after starting with Johnny. It is an incredible feeling to feel your body change and realize your personal strength. I started seeing Johnny a few months before my wedding. By altering my diet in a healthy way, and seeing Johnny twice a week, I lost 15 pounds. I also gained muscle and felt amazing on my wedding day. My dress had a low back and my many people commented on my back definition. I didn't even know what back definition was! haha. ANYWAY, long story short....if you live in the LA area, just go to Johnny!!!! He is worth way more than a gym or anything else you could possibly do to try and change your body. read more
