I have been training at Hideout with Hunter for over 3 months now and it has been hands down the…read moreabsolute best experience. I wanted to try my hand at powerlifting and work on my overall strength since I don't get to move too often for my job. Since starting my training with Hunter, I have seen so much improvement in my overall fitness and nutrition habits. I'm the leanest I have ever been and can lift heavier than I ever thought I could. My trainer is extremely knowledgeable and walks me through each exercise as many times as I need to make sure I understand and have proper form. I feel completely at ease and look forward to each session. He also puts up with my shenanigans which is a definite plus. Hideout Fitness itself is a great space, too. Usually, gyms are incredibly intimidating, especially if you're unsure of what you're doing. Hideout is extremely welcoming as the other trainers will go out of their way to make you feel seen and to cheer you on. 12/10 would recommend Hideout to anyone who needs any fitness guidance and may be a little nervous, like I was. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with Hideout and Hunter!

I started training at Hideout Fitness in January, about six months after the birth of my second…read morebaby. Because I had a fairly delicate pregnancy and was being extra cautious, I didn't work out much during pregnancy. By the time I returned, I had taken nearly 16 months off from consistent training, and it showed. My strength, mobility, and overall fitness had regressed significantly. Anyone who has been through a postpartum journey knows how challenging it can be to start again while breastfeeding, functioning on interrupted sleep, and adjusting to a body that feels different than it once did. What impressed me most about Hideout was how well the trainers understood this. They took the time to assess where I was physically, identify my strengths and weaknesses, and guide me back one step at a time. On my first day, I was incredibly tight and hesitant. I struggled to squat and was genuinely nervous about even gently bending my knee. Four months later, I was barbell squatting 110 pounds without pain. That transformation is just one example. The improvements in my strength, mobility, range of motion, and overall fitness have been incredibly encouraging. The progress has been so rewarding that I rarely miss a session--even on the days when I'm exhausted. My coach does an exceptional job of meeting me where I am each day, modifying workouts based on my energy levels, recovery, and capabilities while still keeping me moving toward my goals. What Hideout offers is more than just workouts. They have a team of knowledgeable, educated, and highly skilled coaches who understand that every person is different. They tailor their approach to each individual's body, strengths, limitations, and goals. That level of personalization makes all the difference. It takes a lot to trust someone with your body and your health. I can unequivocally say that placing my trust in Hideout Fitness was one of the best decisions I made. I've worked with some phenomenal trainers over the years, so I don't give strong recommendations lightly. This team truly knows what they're doing, and they bring genuine passion and dedication to their work. Your success feels like their success, and that's a rare quality to find. I wholeheartedly recommend Hideout Fitness to anyone looking to make meaningful progress on their fitness journey. Whether you're returning after a long break, navigating postpartum recovery, or simply trying to become stronger and healthier, you're in excellent hands.

Andy Shin changed my life…read more When I turned 40, I attended a Tony Robbins event and completed a life assessment. I rated nearly every area of my life a 10 out of 10 except one: my health. That was a 2. Five years earlier, I had been in the best shape of my life. Somewhere along the way, I lost my relationship with fitness. It wasn't just that I stopped going to the gym. I lost the motivation, confidence, and connection to the part of myself that enjoyed taking care of my body. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't seem to find my way back. Then I met Andy through a friend. From our first interaction, his energy, presence, and genuine belief in what was possible made me excited to try again. As an Asian American man, seeing someone who embodied strength, discipline, confidence, and authenticity was deeply inspiring. He wasn't just teaching fitness. He was showing me what was possible. The results have been incredible. My body has transformed, but more importantly, I've rebuilt my relationship with health and fitness. I've regained confidence, consistency, and pride in myself. For the first time in years, I feel connected to my body again. I live an hour away and happily make that drive every week because the impact Andy has had on my life is worth far more than the time spent getting there. If you're struggling to get started, feeling stuck, or trying to reconnect with a healthier version of yourself, I can't recommend Andy highly enough. Working with him has been one of the best investments I've made in myself.

My GF at the time and I met personally with Dave for the initial sales meeting and never felt pressured or a hard sell, and because I had lifting experience in the past I could tell Dave and his trainers knew what they were talking about. Gio has been my trainer the entire time and he has been a fantastic instructor, form checker, nutrition planner, and all-around gym buddy. He helped me do a body recomposition and put on muscle while dropping fat and now I have a body that's stronger, less jiggly, more defined, and makes a lot of the girls I meet go "Wow!" If I followed Gio's advice and nutritional plans more strictly I'd likely look even better but I'm a bit too much of a hedonist. The scheduling for work outs is extremely flexible, you'll likely be able to get a trainer with an open spot, and Dave is consistently hiring more trainers. There's a new guy nicknamed Thor here at the Irvine location who really knows his stuff, he's a former Marine who focused more on raw strength lifting so if you're into the powerlifting side he might be the guy for you. All the trainers I've met have been extremely friendly and eager to help you achieve your goals. Jacob sometimes covers me when I have to come in when Gio's not available and he's a like a personal cheerleader with how positive he is when spotting you. Regardless of whether you're a complete newbie to lifting or an experienced lifter who just wants a work out buddy and person to keep you accountable you'll have a great experience at Train With Dave.

Let me tell you, his training changed my whole body! My body has transformed completely from a regular female body with not much strength in the upper body, to one that has muscle definition, energy and strength.

I even have super defined muscles when I flex and it's crazy amazing! Arms before: slightly fat in the upper arm, probably have some hidden muscles to begin with Arms after: that layer of fat is replaced by strong muscle definition and they look so good and feel stronger Legs before: chubby and not too strong. I am built with more fat in this area Legs after: stronger quads and better looking calves! Unbelievable. It's not making me become someone with hot model legs but I look much better than before! Coach Norm is so kind, so compassionate, and most importantly, his workouts feel like checking in with my buddy. We joke around while he gives me complex moves while carefully observing my form and help me make micro adjustments so my workout is more effective and safe. He's really good at not pushing me to the brink of hating working out and always let me stop a set early if he spots that I am struggling with it, so I don't get injured.

This may be a lengthy review so skip to end for a summary. My experience at Evolution Therapy specifically with the PT named Katie in the Costa Mesa location was nothing short of amazing. My injury stemmed from a silly fall on my mountain bike last summer with a hard impact on my left shoulder. Being a younger guy (32) and active my whole life I did not pay much attention to the injury, figuring it would work it self out with time. Well it didn't, in fact it only got worse with time to the point I gave up surfing, mountain biking, sleeping on my side became uncomfortable and easy tasks at work became daunting. Never in my life did I think I was going to have to live with out my passions and I admittingly began to feel depressed and started drinking more than usual. Luckily a very important person in my life pushed my to reach out to Evolution Physical Therapy to see if they could help. My first encounter with Katie was very relaxed and open, she did not try to sell me on any "packages" or "wellness plans" which was a huge relief. After explaining what happened and what I was limited too we did simple movements and stretches until the area of my shoulder was isolated and she was able to diagnose and explain to me what was going on. I had initially suffered from torn tendons, but due the lack of proper care my shoulder had lost the muscles to hold it in place correctly and was only getting worse. At that point I was still a bit skeptical, but having such a pressure free experience (and being a bit desperate) I did my best to keep an open mind to the treatment. We started off with extremely light weights, like 2lbs which I really thought wasn't going to do anything. I was WRONG. It took about 3-4 sessions before I began to feel the exercises working, gaining range in motion and strength (along with my confidence!). Katie was very diligent in keeping track of each exercise I did along with the weights and how I felt each week. I was very impressed with her detailed records and ability to recall where we left off. As the weeks progressed so did the exercises and weights, we began to work on more sports specifics because she knew I really wanted to surf again. It was right around session #4 or 5 I was inspired and bought a new surfboard being able to paddle out (Something I hadn't been able to do at this point for 6 months...) On top of our weekly exercises I was given home work outs to do on my own which were very reasonable and didn't require a home gym (I live in a tiny condo). In fact, since covid-19 drove every one to buy weights I was able to improvise with things around the house. At any time I could email Katie or call her to discuss the work outs and any questions I had we quickly answered with a change in technique or weight. She definitely went above and beyond to make sure I was getting the same level of treatment at home as I was at the gym. It was around week #8 I felt the dramatic improvement, it was like a light switch had turned on and things were falling into place. I did my first real push up! She began to really focus on strength training at this point, more than just my shoulder. My core, back, and surrounding muscles which were weak also needed to progress and get back to normal. We did begin to skip the sessions to every other week since my home training was going very well and I had a few trips planned. At every visit we changed work outs to pin point any areas that were still a bit sore or tender. Well today was my 11th visit and I was officially given the all clear. I can not give Katie enough credit and truly thank Evolution Fitness for giving me back the life I had at one time given up on. Below is a list of notable services that were above and beyond in my book. #1 - Stress free, clean, and safe environment #2 - Katie is a highly trained specialist for sports PT (which shows) #3 - The schedule was flexible #4 - She kept an extremely detailed record and ensured I was improving #5 - Freaking amazing shoulder massages and stretches to do at home (love the open books) #6 - Most importantly, It worked. I followed direction and couldn't be happier. I will continue to recommend this company and PT to any one in the Southern California area. If any one actually got this far in my review just make the appointment and you will see for your self. You wont be disappointed. read more

I can't recommend Thomas enough! After a car accident left me in intense pain and with a concussion, I was nervous and unsure about my recovery. From the very beginning, Thomas was so patient, compassionate, and knowledgeable. He worked with me through those tough early days when I was in a lot of pain and slowly but surely guided me toward recovery. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, I feel stronger, more confident, and finally able to return to the gym without fear of re-injury. Thomas didn't just help me heal--he taught me what exercises to do and what to avoid, empowering me to take control of my fitness and prevent future injuries. I am beyond grateful that I came to this clinic and had Thomas as my therapist. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your well-being and tailors your recovery to your specific needs, Thomas is the one. Thank you, Thomas, for helping me get back to feeling like myself again! read more

Katie is the most attentive, knowledgeable, and patient PT I have met. She has tailored my PT experience for my injury around my interests, and hobbies. She helped me get back into my athletic groove along with strengthening my entire body and providing exercises geared to setting me up for success. Before finding her I went to three other PT's in Orange County and non-of them had the focus, equipment, and determination to help me heal. Katie has provided me the confidence through her workouts along with her knowledge to push me once again to feeling comfortable in my own body and not afraid to be putting in the work to get to where I want to be. I can't recommend her enough, and I urge you to get a consultation with her if you are like me and have had horrible PT experiences. She really made me believe that there are great PT's out there that are willing to help me get to where I can see myself post injuries. read more

I highly recommend Yorick Yuan and this practice because they truly care about helping each patient improve their quality of life.

I was unsure of how things would turn out. So, I put faith in action, walked through the door stiff and eager to find relief several days a week and got connected with my P.T Reena! She's the truth! This place is filled with trained professionals ready to work with skill, knowledge and the perfect touch! Reena and her team will have you feeling like someone hears you and concerned about the person not just another patient. Take my advice, Run if you can, DON'T-walk! or just set an appointment asap! Thank me later:)

After hearing so many good things, I decided to come myself, and it's truly been wonderful. I started seeing Michael around July through a referral, and he's been absolutely exceptional. He's incredibly thorough, attentive, and genuinely caring. Each session is carefully tailored -- he always takes time to assess how I'm doing, explains the treatment plan in detail, and adjusts the focus based on my progress. I really appreciate how he shares different recovery strategies and gives clear, practical home exercises after every visit. His techniques are precise and effective, and you can tell he truly cares about helping his patients heal. I've also met Maddi and Melissa -- both are fantastic, kind, and professional. Overall, everyone I know who's been here has had a great experience. The whole team is outstanding -- thoughtful, skilled, and genuinely dedicated. I couldn't recommend this clinic more highly!

This practice has been super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The space is clean and spacious and usually not over crowded. I started PT beginning of June and after 3-4 weeks, I started to experience positive effects with my recovery. Josephine and the rest of the staff are super great. I personally went to a doctor for my issue several years ago and was dismissed. I saw Josephine, and she immediately validated my concern and actually identified the issue. The front desk receptionist, Rachel, is also so kind and definitely creates a welcoming first impression. I'm very happy with the services and would totally recommend this place to anyone!

He was always listening to how I felt, adjusting my routine accordingly, and answering any questions/concerns I had with the process. It was always so easy to talk to him, it felt like he really did care about my rehab. And because of him, I am able to fully enjoy playing sports again. The facility is small but has all the equipment needed and the space to perform exercises. And was always well temperature controlled. I could not recommend Phil more than enough, he is absolutely amazing!

I was uneasy after suffering for a year and trying every other modality thinking that this wouldn't work, but Phil saved my back. My road to recovery was not easy and Phil stayed by my side each step of the way offering assistance anywhere he could. He offered so many great exercises and challenged me when it felt right. He helped me recover even on the days I thought I couldn't. I HIGHLY recommend Phil and I will be sending every person I know to Apex. I am thankful for his expertise, patience, and incredibly welcoming spirit.

Pham took the time to understand my situation and created a personalized rehabilitation program that truly worked. His attention to detail, depth of knowledge, and commitment to my recovery were exceptional. Week after week, Pham guided me through a thoughtful progression that not only restored my strength but built my confidence. Thanks to him, I'm now able to sprint, cut, and--most importantly--play with my kids again pain-free. I also want to give a huge shout-out to Ephraim, who worked alongside Pham to keep me motivated and on track. Both of them were phenomenal and provided a great game plan throughout my recovery. The entire staff at ProSport is professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. I can't recommend ProSport enough for anyone needing physical therapy. Five stars all the way!
