I highly recommend Edgar if you're looking for an amazing trainer to not only lift heavy, but also for longevity and mobility.

From his group training to one-on-one sessions, he displays professionalism, is social, personable and extremely knowledgeable in all things fitness. He makes you feel like a friend/family member and knows exactly how to tailor programming to fit your needs and what you're looking for. Some of the best workouts I've had have been with Edgar. He knows his stuff, you won't regret it and you'll leave feeling better than how you arrived. I'd recommend him (and always do) to anyone looking for someone to help you achieve any fitness goals you may have.

I've struggled so much with body image and eating disorders before I met cierra. Naturally, I have a thicker build and I just didn't know what to do with it. She's now trained me with weights properly I.e. powerlifting, squatting heavy and consistency. She's an expert on what is going to work for your individual body and is highly educated in her area. Give her a try you'll be addicted to the results. Going from 1-2 days a week to now 5 is a miracle. But it's not unbelievable when you get results you want and the encouragement from Cierra.

Cierra truly cares about her clients and is always available to answer questions and concerns. Whether you are already fit or just beginning an exercise program, I highly recommend that you check out Cierra Athletics.

Simply put, Richard is on another level and if you are fortunate enough to work with him what immediately becomes clear is he knows his stuff. He is a walking Ted Talk and Master Class of fitness and nutrition and he's probably already read whatever book you have on either subject. A true professional who shows up on time and seems to know how to share just the right amount of technical and clinical knowledge without overwhelming you. And what you get on top of all that is a real person. He is approachable and open about his own fitness journey which allows him to bring a contagious energy to each workout that balances accountability and a sense of humor. Do yourself a solid and contact him. I promise it will be a win-win for both of you.

I've always been fitness minded and throughout my life been involved in some sort of fitness…read moreroutine whether it be weight lifting at the gym, martial arts training, bootcamp, aerial sports (pole & lyra hoop) or Yoga. The one thing I haven't done is seek the help of a personal trainer for a customized fitness program, and, at 58 I decided to do just that. I recently switched to a whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet due to health issues and was thrilled to find Vegan Viking Fit in Dana Point. Part of the reason I sought a personal trainer was because I wasn't sure I could maintain my level of fitness on my new diet. After meeting Rick it was clear that it is totally achievable. He is incredibly fit on a plant-powered diet. I am amazed and inspired. I've been training with him for six months now and though it's a bit of a drive for me, it's well worth it. The routines he works out for me based on my fitness goals are top-notch and he keeps things fun. Rick has a great personality and sense of humor. I appreciate his knowledge of both fitness and nutrition and will continue to train with him. If you're looking for a fitness trainer, I HIGHLY recommend Rick at Vegan Viking Fit even if you're not WFPB (vegan). There's no judgement here about diet - just great fitness!

The Con is the employees aren't being paid. The trainers complained to me and several people I know that they weren't being paid on time. There has been a lot of turnover in the last year I have been here. And the lead trainer, Amy Spiegl is the worst. She not only hit me up for money, but she hit other clients up for money and had an affair with my buddy who was engaged at the time. I cancelled my membership in February and I would like to re-open it but only if ownership rectifies this issue.

You're in an hour-long session with about 6-8 other people, but everyone is doing their own thing, so there's no pressure to keep up with a big class. The trainers will show you a couple moves, make sure you're doing it correctly, then move on to help others. After you complete that set, they show you several more and repeat until the hour is up. They are not constantly staring at you and counting reps, etc. but are checking in to make sure your form is correct and things are going ok. There's no problem making adjustments to the workouts as needed. The trainers are great and very motivating. You can tell everyone cares about your personal health journey. They do a very thorough intake to understand where you are coming from and your goals. They do regular assessments to make sure they are helping you achieve your goals. The gym is very welcoming with all varieties of people. There's no gym-bro attitude and everyone is very supportive. They make the hour go so fast! I've achieved great results already after only a couple months. I'm down 10 lbs with increasing muscle mass. I've also taken their nutrition course and learned so much about how to fuel my body. My husband, who's not a beginner at all, recently joined and was very impressed with their ability to meet his heavy-lifting needs.

It was in August 2024 that I made the decision to get strong and healthy. I walked into Recoup full of fear one day and oddly enough, they had just finished a staff meeting and all the owners and trainers were there. I had that opportunity to be warmly welcomed by the entire staff the second I walked into the door. I scheduled my first session and they did a health assessment. I know it was not good and I was extremely embarrassed. But what I walked away with was "this is just a starting point to see where you can go!" I weighed the heaviest I had ever been in my life. Dani and Matt started working with me in the mornings. They were encouraging and supportive, but also very determined to make me work hard and get stronger. Fast forward six months, I am down almost 35 pounds and feel the best I have in years. I have changed many aspects of my life and am focused on getting stronger and healthier. My eating habits have also drastically changed. I could have never done it on my own. I am grateful to all of the staff at Recoup for inviting me into the Recoup family. They continually challenge me and want me to be the best I can be. On a side note, I have been playing softball my entire life. Since starting this personal training, I have noticed that I run faster, have more agility and can hit the ball harder every game! Everyone has noticed and comment on how much I am improving all the time. It's all thanks to Recoup for investing with me in my future. I highly recommend Recoup to anyone who wants to change their life.
