She's really a great trainer! If you appreciate a personal hands on experience then this is your girl. I've taken a few sessions with her and would do more if I could afford it but I've see a change in my foundation and overall strength. Pik will push you to be better a lot of these negative reviews are used to chain gyms and corporate one size fits all style classes/coaching. If you want to be left alone in the corner of a gym doing something wrong for 30 minutes then go to planet fitness because here you will get a personalized and sociable experience. read more

Great one on one session! She obviously knows what she's doing. She corrected my form and was very attentive. Highly recommend her classes. I can't wait to try the boxing and kickboxing classes. read more

Not sure what her problem is but she should go to therapy! I attended to one of her classes which was only me and another girl. After class I told her I was interested in coming back with Classpass and we followed each other on Instagram. After couple weeks she messaged me on DM to come take one of her classes this week. Since I am currently looking to learn mitts I asked "Hey Sara! Which day do you teach mitts?", she said that she only do mitts with her one on one clients, not in classes, and then she added that I didn't seem interested in her one on one. I don't know why would she assume I am not interested! If I asked her about her schedule is because I was interested im coming back. Anyways, since she told me she doesn't do mitts classes I said that it's okay and that I will just go to other boxing gyms that offer mitts, then I proceeded to thank her for her time! Oh God, I have no idea what happened that she started calling me, sending me a voicemail complaining and then a HUGE DM fighting with me saying that I was attacking her and disrespecting her! (Wtf???) if you don't offer mitts classes what I'm suppose to do?? I just said I will go to other studios/gyms that offer mitts... since when that's attacking? Nobody is obligated to attend to your classes or to become a member. Respect our decisions. If I am paying a Classpass membership I will only go to the classes offered there, if you dont offer mitts for Classpass users then we will just go to a different place! As simple as that. There's no reason to be offended. Her reaction was very concerning for being a coach, very defensive and aggressive. Just relax, it really wasn't a big deal. If I am writing this review is because I wan't people (and mostly Classpass users) to be aware. It was just weird. 0 stars! read more

I've been training with Pik for a few months now and it's been a fun and rewarding experience. She is an encouraging coach and always comes up with new ways to challenge me. Our sessions are always tailored to address my needs and she's helped me a lot with form and endurance! read more

PIK is an amazing instructor and motivator. She takes her time with each client and gives demonstrations to work on your form and get the most of your stretches!!! PIK has taught me how to lunge properly. Her group kickboxing class is upbeat. It's a must try for anyone. Thanks PIK read more

Im really big on giving reviews and I can surely say Sara is the best trainer ever!!! 10/10 ask for Sara! I have been going to her for longer than half a year now, she really knows how to motivate me for my last push and keep pushing until the last second, Sara is the sweetest as well she is a very open personal trainer and gives me words of encouragement when I don't have motivation to train and I always feel so great about my body and I look amazing!! I still train with Sara and Im so obsessed with the muscle growth in my body thanks to Sara!! the environment is so welcoming and judgemental free!! Im definitely going to recommend fit by pik to you guys , and I'm definitely going to have to bring my friends to fits by pik as well soon!! read more

booked a class thru class pass. the address was incorrect so I drove to an address that was wrong and wasted my time and gas. She offered me then two free classes as a courtesy for the incorrect address. when i email her to book the classes she agrees, then sends two rage emails at 2am.... basically saying i should be grateful for these classes and that "fyi it's not the business fault but class pass fault". TWO SEPARATE EMAILS of just rage and how it isn't her fault and how she's better than all other businesses for offering anything at all to me. i never asked for the free classes in the first place she offered them, which is why I emailed her to get the free classes. I'm very upset as I've never had a business act this way towards me. why I was emailed at 2am by the owner in what seemed like a drunken rage I will never understand. it's literally a fitness class i do not care to know all the details, just followed up with what the business owner offered and seemed to have forgotten ??? one of the weirder experiences with a business which is why i'm leaving a review and i recommend avoiding the drama!! read more

Sara makes getting in shape (for a very out of shape person) not scary, accessible, and fun! She is a ball of energy and keeps me on my toes literally and figuratively. I love my personal training sessions because the vibe is casual and not intimidating but I know I'm getting the expertise and attention of a pro with decades of experience. I feel like I'm kicking butt and getting my butt kicked every session and it's wonderful. Sara is also helping me with my nutrition and is a coach in every sense. I can feel myself getting my energy back and am excited to see where my fitness journey leads. Definitely recommend! read more

Writing this while I'm still sore from class.. kyah!! Took my first class with Sara at her Thursday night kickboxing class at G-Train Fitness Center in North Hollywood. I was terrified coming into it, but Sara was very uplifting, made me feel comfortable and ready to take on the challenge! This workout had my friends and I sweat more than we ever have! It was my first time there and I could tell that Sara really cares about every person in her class and she even said you may hate her one day and love her the next, but one thing is forsure - you'll learn something from her class! read more

I started with Sara about 2 months ago and all I have to say is how AMAZING she is! You give your 100 percent dedication and she puts 500 into it. Since I started with Sara I noticed seeing significant improvements in my strength and in my weight loss. I have posted some pictures below... read more

Sara is one bad-ass woman! Are persons, places and things knocking you for a loop?? I get it. There's nothing greater for your physical and mental health than Sara! If you're ready to level up in any area of your life, these workouts are the trick. The strength and skills you'll gain will boost your endurance and confidence needed to tackle anything that life throws your way. Go for it! Why not? You've got nothing to lose. read more

I love going to kickboxing class! You come out sweating and you feel so good afterwards. Also, I have enjoyed having Sara as personal trainer because she makes it so much fun and I end up getting energy after the hard workout. P.s. It helps me get energy to do homework! read more

Sara gave me a really bad experience right her company doesn't work right at all she gave me really hard time by getting me going through everything and in my opinion to pushy I can see the bad reviews here and really relate There is many more classes out there you can take with nicer people maybe you will like here I didn't She is allways llate I saw some people wrote that as well she is late 15 minutes and then make you pay it for real !?!?!! Everyone has there own opinion if I would know I would save my Money before hand read more

Please to anyone that is interested in training with FitbyPik BE CAREFUL. In the beginning I felt bad for her situation regarding her children but she continues to make that an excuse to trick people into paying in "advance" and recieving 10 more free sessions. I honestly thought she was a great trainor but in reality she is not. She took advantage of the fact that I would help her out in advance since she had a money issue with her children. PLEASE, dont fall for this...I have documented proof of the payments I made in Cash & PAYPAL. All of these reviews that are "good" reviews come from people that she begs to write a good review for. I wont go into detail about her personal life as much since Im here to write a review based on her buisness ethics. Absolutely no work ethic, Foul language, Negativity and on top of that she threatened when I asked for my money back for the sessions I DID not receive. On top of that she charged me 300 dollars for protein shakes I never received. As well she would cancel the sessions for her PERSONAL issues and would charge me for it. Please, all I can advise is SAVE yourself from this headache of a "trainor". Its all fake...She does not know the meaning of respecting the client/trainor relationship.. she attacked me multiple times as well as making up fake scenarios in her head. To Maria; If you are not going to pay the money that FitbyPik owes me please mind your own business. Talking about childish, You called me & begged me not to serve FitbyPik in Court, now your on Yelp getting offended about a comment/review. Here let me write down the payment she owes for the services she charged me for which I didnt receive as well as the protein shakes she charged me for.. you could pay in her place, by all means you can reach out to me via Yelp . 1,800 1,680 300 278 ...the list goes on for the payment I gave & never received. If anyone has questions By all means via me Yelp. Thanks! read more

I purchased a Groupon for one of her classes and was instantly hooked. I'm a gym rat but noting compares to Sara's kick boxing class. I did boxing in the past but her classes pushed me further because Sara incorporates not only boxing but also kicking boxing, which means jump kicks and much more leg workouts. Sara helped me with my form/punches and really pushes me to do my best. She's really personal and wants her students to do better with good form and stamina. I am now a faithful member of her classes. You should totally give Sara a try, you will instantly fall in love with her class, her energy and the people like I did, you won't regret it. I try to attend her class religiously because it helps me destress by taking out all my stress on the bag HAHA read more

Before I started training with Sara I was attending one-on-one sessions at an MMA gym, and Sara pushes me harder than any of the male trainers there (competing fighters) ever did. I LOVE her evening kickboxing classes and just began attending her 4 person Group Weight Training classes which is the perfect option for me to save $ while still getting the personal training attention. I've lost 10 pounds since I started training with Sara back in May and everyone around me has noticed and complimented me. I can't wait to see the results of me completing 2 months of group weight training with her! Btw Sara is not only a trainer to me, but I would consider her a role model, someone I needed to enter my life at the time that she did. She is (for a lack of better words) a "bad b*tch" who empowers others to overcome whatever emotions they're feeling to focus on releasing it all through your training session. Whether it's in her kickboxing class with a group of 15+ people or the smaller group training, I feel the same support & encouragement from her. She's pushing you, but she's also your biggest cheerleader at the same time. I expect to be training with Sara for the rest of my time living in Studio City! read more

I love boxing with Sara. I had been looking to join a good boxing class when I came across her Groupon offer. And like most people I was planning on using the Groupon deal and moving on but I ended up signing up for additional classes. Sara is really passionate about what she does and helps you become better by encouraging you and correcting your moves. I'm glad to have found a trainer like her. I always leave class feeling good and soaked in sweat read more

Sara was great! This was my first time taking her class and I'll definitely be back! She had the class doing punch and kick combos and would correct when needed, but would also motivate when she saw you doing things right. It's just a few hours later and my body already feels hot and sore from the workout!! Definitely recommend!! read more

I love coming to this class and actually look forward to coming! The class is in her backhouse/studio with class sizes of about 2-4 so she is able to give great personalized feedback on form. This class is good for all levels, even beginners. Pik is the best and her energy is contagious. I always get a great workout and feel stronger after taking a class here. Definitely recommend! read more

This review is wayyyyyy over due (covid/kids/work) but the world deserves to know about this amazing superwoman trainer Sara. I found Sara online, went through all her photos and videos and know she would be the perfect trainer for me (being that i have limited mobility). I called and booked an interview right away not knowing it was like a job interview (shes gotta make sure you are there for the right reasons) and after an hour of going through the contract i was thrilled she accepted me. Her dedication to each individual client is beyond this world, she knows exactly what each person needs and works with each individual even during group sessions. Sara has changed my life, she motivates me and pushes like crazy knowing my limits and after my sessions she stretches and massages my body to make sure im able and to move. I thought I would always have limited mobility and can never move. Thanks to her dedication, care and love for me she turned me into a total NINJA. The world can attest to the changes Sara has made in my life which not just only changed me physically but mentally and emotionally tooo. I am forever grateful and thank God for the day i met Sara. I will follow her around the world and forever be her number one client/fan/friend and more. THANK YOU Sars. Love you read more

A very intense workout! Great cardio! Sara has a great, funny, energetic personality and really makes you feel comfortable in her class and cares about your boxing technique. I highly recommend this class. Keith Morris read more

Let me tell you about Sara! I was looking for a kickboxing class and was referred to Sara. Sara is an amazing kickboxing instructor and personal trainer. She is super friendly and will get you into shape. She has the best packages that anyone can offer! I definitely recommend Sara! read more

Ive been in and out of Sara's class since March '18. Recently came back because of the great work out and learning the technique! She has shown up late a couple times, but she makes up for it. And if she sees your form is incorrect she will take the one on one time with you to correct it - which is crucial when training others. Safety first! I have a package I am looking forward to finishing up! ::happy sweat face emoji:: read more

Pik is a beautiful spirit and excellent teacher! After my first class with her I was hooked. I love that in each class you get a great workout no matter if you are a beginner or looking to brush up on your skills. She provides an awesome and energizing atmostphere and encourages you along the way. Pik knows her stuff! I'll be back as soon as I'm healed from my surgery! read more

I had been out of the ring for about a year before I found Sarah! I needed a place local, and I needed my teacher to be encouraging and all around amazing I absolutely found that in Sarah! It is precisely what I've been looking for. All classes are unique and it's non stop enthusiastic energy. The 1 hr class goes by super fast. It's super fun and intense! Sooo happy I found Sarah! read more

What better way to get in shape than to have a beautiful goddess of muscle cheering you on. I am pushed harder in Piks class than any other class experience I've had. When I feel like I can't possibly go anymore, I find myself pushing further than I thought I ever could. If you are looking for a little help pushing yourself to fitness goals you thought impossible, TAKE THIS CLASS!! read more

If you ever want a killer workout as well as someone who will push you AND motivate you Pik is your girl!! I couldn't be happier being able to have her as my personal trainer. She is exactly what I've been trying to find for years of going through different trainers. I look forward to each session with her. read more

Imagine throwing your money in the fire and watching it burn. Well that's how I feel when I gave my money to Sara. When you first meet her, she will give you empty promises. She tells you how she will motivate you and get you the body that you want...which I don't know how she would accomplish that when she doesn't show up for your sessions and is very undependable. Thank god I only signed up for the smallest package (12 sessions), even though she really tries to push you for the max. I lost almost $600 with her, for all the sessions she didn't provide me. She will tell you how hard her life is, and she is doing it on her own; well guess what! This is her business and she is very irresponsible. I am a single woman too and I do it on my own, so there are no excuses. DO NOT WASTE YOU MONEY ON HER, unless you don't care of taking a HUGE risk of her taking your money, being lied to, scammed and not providing her services as promised. Do your homework. There are SO MANY OTHER BETTER trainers in the LA area! I don't want anyone else to go through what I went through. It's sad to be so excited to get back into shape and have some one to count on; when in reality I was let down at the end. read more

Great functional training workout. Will definitely sweat your ass off while also learning correct form and movement. Good workout for all levels. Weekend bootcamps are a bonus! read more

Housed at G-Train, Fit by Pik uses free-standing bags for combo drills and cardio sections. Pik is encouraging, supportive and answers all questions. I actually learned how to properly kick to save my knee. Go get your bum kicked. It'll be worth it! read more

Fit by Pik is my absolute favorite boxing/excercise class! I'm an excercise junkie and I hadn't found a place where I loved to box until I found Sara's class! She is absolutely amazing and kicks your butt every time! You leave feeling accomplished and strong! She makes everyone feel welcome and helps hone your technique! Her classes are an amazing workout! read more

I'm not sure what to say except for I love FitbyPIk! Sara is one of the most knowledgeable and personable trainers I have encountered and the classes are an absolute blast. I was looking to get into shape and build my confidence and fitness after COVID and thankfully I came across this place. Although it's not at the same location in North Hollywood any more, Sarah has a cute and efficient at home gym that will make you feel welcome and at home. If you want someone who is passionate and cares, I highly recommend her. She also has another personal instructor Jen Sotto that teaches Friday classes and teaches you a LOT of different moves. They are both super caring and personable instructors that want you to succeed and I feel much better and confident after meeting them! read more

I took her kickboxing class and did a sports massage with her ...she is a beast!! Such a bad ass caring pro!! Not for the faint in will ... she will push you! I'm obsessed!! Highly recommend. read more

In the past I had always been hesitant to workout with a trainer. Most of the trainers that I had contacted in the past were either too mean, expensive or never got back to me. However, after seeing Sara's Instagram videos, she was very motivating and friendly & the workouts seemed killer. So i decided to message her. She responded back Within the same day very politely with her rates that were totally reasonable! I booked my 1st session with her over a month and a half ago & im in love with the results I'm seeing in myself! She kicks my butt & motivates me to push myself! I'm going to keep buying more training sessions from her because the results I'm seeing are addicting!! I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get in shape! read more

Sara is awesome. I'm a groupon girl who is always looking for a deal. When I found Sara I was going to use my Groupon and move along. But she was so awesome and whooped my butt into shape so fast that a year later I'm still here. Her energy her Focus her enthusiasm and her willingness to keep pushing me when I want to give up is what makes her one of the best. In the past year I have done one-on-ones small group training kickboxing bootcamp you name it oh, I keep coming back because she is awesome and her team is amazing as well. I love the environment, I love the people and have made lots of great friends just from class. No big egos or snobby people here just a group of awesome people willing to work together and encourage one another to keep going. If you're looking for a trainer who's going to encourage you support you get you fit in an environment that is encouraging and judgement free this is it. read more

Fit by Pik - 30 day challenge - Boxing Near Me

See all

I love boxing with Sara! I've been going to her class for about a year and she still kicks my butt every time. She's great for all skill levels. I always walk out feeling strong, even if I'm so tired I can hardly walk. She checks all the boxes for me: small business, woman owned, close to home. read more

IF and WHEN Sara shows up, she is a great trainer. I repeat, IF and WHEN she shows up. I found her on Yelp because she had good reviews. I met her, she seemed nice. She convinced me to sign up for 20 one-on-one sessions at a 15% discount paid up front via Venmo. DO NOT DO THIS. This was my first mistake.  Unfortunately, she cancelled 5 out of 9 sessions (very last minute), and showed up late the other 4 sessions. So basically, she was either late or cancelled every time. I have a toddler and had to hire a babysitter to work out with her so you can understand how frustrating it was for me when she cancelled last minute. I wanted a personal trainer to keep me accountable but instead I was always wondering if she would show up.  The worst part of this whole situation is when I approached her about being unhappy and needing someone more reliable, she REFUSED to refund me, even though she was in breach of her own contract. Instead, she would flip it around on me and was VERY unprofessional. The texts she has sent me are appalling, disrespectful, and personally attacked my character - she barely knows me! All I wanted to do was to work out with a personal trainer who kept me accountable, but instead lost over $1000 after being verbally attacked by a trainer who either showed up late, or didn't show up at all. Very very disappointed to say the least. Do not recommend. read more

As an update. Now there's no question that when Sara actually shows up to her appointments, she will kick your butt. However, the sad truth is that she is almost always late, whether it be a one on one, especially first thing in the morning, or to her classes. And don't be surprised when she cancels or reschedules at the last minute. I don't believe in bashing ppl, especially women owned businesses. But all I can say is to ask around G train fitness about Sara and her reputation. She has gotten into verbal altercations with previous clients and staff. We had a falling out in July, from June- July, there were 6 appointments scheduled, 4 of which she canceled last minute. And the two she did keep she was between 20mins to 30mins late to. She was in breach of her own contact and refused to refund me for the remainder of the contract. And when you approach her, with concerns she will either play the victim card or flip the fuck out on you. I made an error of signing back up with her. Bc I honestly thought that she had her shit together. I was wrong. I am forced to take her to court to seek a judgment. So please do your research. Document all of your conversations, if you find yourself in the same predicament. Especially her rude text messages, remember ladies all of those conversations will help you build a case against her. Don't allow her to bully you or take your power. I promise you that you're not the only victim. read more

This is hands down the best kick boxing class in The Valley! Your heart is pumping the entire time and it's a full body workout. Sara is constantly teaching new combinations, drills and keeps it fun while you are gasping for air. Great vibe in the class. I highly recommend FitbyPik to anyone who wants to get in serious shape! read more

Hands down an amazing coach. Sara is upbeat, motivational, fun, and most of cares about your success. We've done several one on one sessions and I'm challenged every time. She spends extra time helping me stretch and roll out (something I hate) and I really appreciate it. Her boxing classes are so fun and when I leave I'm drenched; unlike other instructors she ensures your form is correct and is big on doing things the right way. If you're ready for an amazing coach who cares and ready to have some fun, and see results, Sara is it! I highly recommend her. read more
