Gym Space: Not as vast as the gyms on the main USC campus but definitely my favorite gym out of all the USC ones. It has enough equipment for the demographic of students typically around this campus, making it super empty and kept clean. I never have a problem having one of the mirrored rooms to myself to do mat workouts and there are always a plethora of treadmills left open. Weights and mats are rarely ever missing too. They have sanitizing wipes in several corners of the gym space and a water refilling station by the lockers.

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.

We're getting visibly stronger while also learning so much about proper form and how to avoid injury. I came in with some chronic back pain that flared up with any exercise I did, and now I'm back on my feet, feeling a lot better and slowly starting to be able to lift heavier again. Bayo definitely knows a lot about functional fitness which I love because in my mid-40's I not only want to be in great shape now, I want to keep moving well in to my 70's and 80's. He's also got a lovely, kind personality but just because he's super nice don't think he'll go soft on you, you will work hard! He also gives great tips on diet and recovery that really help round out your training. The gym itself is bright and sunny, and immaculately kept. Lot's of great equipment and variety so you won't get bored. If you're looking to get in great shape and enjoy doing it I highly recommend this place!

Switching to this gym has been a breath of fresh air. MFC is run by a hardworking and friendly family who's always quick to help and the gymgoers contribute to the overall chill vibe that I love about this place. Equipment: TONS. There's every attachment possible for the cable machines. In addition to having all the typical plate-loaded and pin machines and dumbbells (in 2.5 lb increments too!) for the general fitness enthusiast, they also have specialty equipment for bodybuilding, strongman, olympic weightlifting, and powerlifting. I started coming here to prep for a powerlifting meet and appreciate the 2 combo racks, multi-station rig, many deadlift platforms, and multiple benches. There's plenty of powerlifting equipment so I've never had to wait to SBD. Community: The folks who come here are respectful and have good gym etiquette. Some folks keep to themselves; they're locked in and focused on their own workouts. Other folks enjoy talking more and building friendships as they train. To each their own - I just love that folks wipe down their equipment after use and rerack their weights. Bathroom: Super clean with multiple stalls, showers, and lockers inside Parking: Spacious, free parking lot. I've never encountered this, but if the lot was ever full, you could easily find (free) street parking Bonuses: There's a large cubby shelf located under the stairs for us to drop our stuff off while we work out. There's also a charging station and several cleaning sprays + constantly restocked towels so we can easily wipe down equipment (and ourselves) They offer $5 day passes on the last Friday of every month so take advantage of that to come check out how awesome this gym is. $65 for the monthly membership is such an invaluable investment for all that MFC provides. I'm incredibly happy to be training here and know you will be too!

Eric goes far above and beyond in his support: - He's incredibly dedicated. His attention to detail, check-ins, and support go far beyond any trainer I've worked with. - He's focused on real, lasting change, not quick fixes. Mindset is just as important as movement. - He's tough (in the best way!): he challenges you so you can discover strength you didn't know you had. Eric believed in me before I did. That kind of support is rare - and life-changing. Working with him has been one of the best decisions (and investments!) I've ever made. I'm so grateful to have found Eric! He changed my life.

My Mom is getting back into the gym after a stint of severe knee/hip arthritis and her focus has been on resistance training/strengthening. My Dad has had a history of falls and his focus is on balance and resistance training. I can already see that my Dad is more confident in his walking and both of them are excited for every session. Life is all about pushing limits (even into your 70's/80's and beyond) and I've been super impressed with Eric's care, motivation and individually crafted plans for each of them. Eric has excellent communication skills and it is apparent that he truly enjoys what he does.

Just completed a first massage session and full body eval with Michael. Background on me, i am a…read more30+ year old female healthcare provider who is on her feet for 12 hours a day multiple times a week on her feet and pulling, pushing, turning, and lifting heavy patients. 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.

She got back to me right away and scheduled a free consultation, which made the whole process so easy. I've been training with her for a few months now and it's honestly been amazing. She really focuses on form and makes sure I'm doing each movement properly, which has given me a lot more confidence in the gym. As someone who used to dread working out, training with Amber has completely changed my perspective. She's motivating and supportive, but also makes the sessions fun because we always end up having good conversations while I workout. I look forward to our sessions. She really has changed my perspective on exercise and health! 10/10 would recommend!

We set up an appointment to do a consultation, and it was very helpful. I even asked not to see my weight at the time (LOL), and Amber was kind enough to take that silly request into consideration. I proceeded to train with her. During the few weeks I trained with her, the process was very smooth. I also appreciated having someone "correct" and fix what I was doing to ensure I was doing the workout correct. Amber really emphasized on form over "finishing" the workout. Also, I appreciated that she also took the time to focus on how I "felt" during the training process and made adjustments to my workouts, as needed. For example, I have difficulty doing a lot of workouts with squats, due to my knees, and Amber taught me how to "warm up" my knees. She also taught me a stretch I can do to help my upper back & shoulder pain. Scheduling-wise, I also liked having her personal number to schedule trainings with her. She also checked in every week to ensure our schedule was still on track or, if changes to the schedule needed to be made, it was easy to make such adjustments. I also appreciated the candid conversations we had regarding certain nutrition and other "fad diet" trends. I learned a lot from her! Overall, if you are looking for someone to train is, Amber is your person!

The staff is always genuinely pleasant and helpful -- the kind of people who greet you with a smile and make the space feel welcoming. I love the infrared sauna, especially because you can book it in advance, which makes planning workouts so much easier. Their variety of weight machines keeps things interesting, and I never feel like I'm waiting around for equipment. It's rarely crowded except for the usual New Year rush. Parking in the lot can be a little tricky since it's small, but there's plenty of free street parking right outside, so it's never a dealbreaker. They also offer a great lineup of workout classes, which adds even more value. Overall, it's a gym that makes staying consistent feel effortless.

He's not only the most knowledgeable personal trainer I've met but his ability to tell you what your imbalances/weakness is second to none. He's the type of trainer who will design a plan which is correct for you based off his assessment, not just give you the same cookie cutter work out that you may find from other trainers. My story: I came in with hip pain/stiffness and some lower back stiffness. My goals were to reduce the stiffness/pain, increase my mobility, my flexibility, my strength and focus on long term health. I'd tried stretching, mobility exercises and working with other trainers but didn't have any significant improvement. Paul did an assessment on me, and without having to give any additional information he could tell where I was having issues. After working with Paul for a few short weeks, my back stiffness and hip pain are completely gone and my hip stiffness continues to improve each week. Because I no longer have those previous ailments now I can focus on athletic movements and building muscle. He constantly reassesses the progress I make and adjusts my workouts to ensure growth. It's the best investment I've made. If you're looking for someone intelligent, non judgmental, and excellent at their craft, I would recommend giving Paul a try.
