It's the best of the best gyms in Orange county. Not only is the equipment top notch but what other gym offers both a red light therapy sauna and a cold plunge afterwards. The trainers are also the best in there fields. My trainer is Harry and he trains me to be a top athletic and strength person. The results speak for themselves. read more

Just started coming to GOAT FITNESS. I got put in touch with the owner Lucas! Super chill guy, easy to talk to. The gym is extremely clean and put together. Pricing is affordable given that you get access whenever you want 24/7. If you like a quieter atmosphere to hear the music playing and get your sets in I'd highly recommend starting here! They have another spot a couple doors down for strength training and cardio. If you wanna hit the bag or push the sled then this is the place. Check em out! read more

GOAT Fitness - Full gym - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

I signed up for one-on-one sessions with Danny and Jon and couldn't be happier. The coaching goes far beyond standard training--there's a strong focus on nutrition, technique, and small adjustments that make a big difference in overall strength and performance. They never make you feel like it's about the money. This gym is in a completely different league than other/commercial gyms. If you're an experienced lifter looking for that extra edge during a cut or bulk, GOAT is absolutely worth it. Top-tier equipment and an incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended. read more

Walked my butt over to this gym while an auto shop was working on my car. Amazing staff, amazing gym, and they had a red light sauna with a cold plunge. My gym session was made a little more luxurious than usual thanks to Harry. If you're looking to get away from commercial gym culture and find like minded people with a passion for fitness and helping others. GOAT fitness is the place to be. read more

The staff is super welcoming. The equipment is great and the fact that there are two different areas to exercise makes this the best gym I have ever been a part of. read more

Clean facility with great equipment! I've been lifting weights for 20 years now just using big box gyms but this one's got me convinced to finally make the jump to a private one. read more

I've been getting personal training here from Danny for around 3-4 months and so far I am extremely happy with the progress and results I've attained. I've been an athlete for most of my life. Through high school and college, I was lucky enough to get exposure to high level trainers, coaches, and nutritionists. I learned a thing or two along the way, so I feel like I have a good sense of whether or not a fitness expert knows their stuff. Having put in work here for a few months now, I can confidently say that my trainer is very knowledgeable and knows how to efficiently get the results I want. These days I'm in my mid-30s and want to pack on some muscle and a little extra weight so I can squeeze out a few more years of playing rugby and minimize the possibility of injuries. GOAT Fitness is doing a great job of helping me attain that goal. read more

Visited GOAT Fitness for the first time this weekend while traveling. My fiancée and I were looking for a gym that had more equipment than our typical hotel setup. Luckily this was less than 5 mins from our hotel and close to the John Wayne airport. Jon, who greeted us at the door at 7am Sat, was very welcoming. He efficiently signed us up with the one day drop-in gym waivers in the first 5 mins and we were able to start our workout within 10 mins of arriving. We will definitely come back to visit GOAT for their atmosphere and equipment. Thanks for taking care of us and hope to see you soon! read more

GOAT Fitness - Good quality gym equipment (lots of ROGUE!) - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

Bro this gym is Best gym with the most welcoming community in all of OC! Would recommend to anyone out there trying to get into hard lifting read more

I've never really worked out before and was very nervous to start working out. When I think about the gym and personal trainers- I just automatically envision someone yelling at me. So, finding a friendly, non-intimidating gym was important to me. I've contacted several other gyms and their personal trainers and Goat Fitness was the only place that made me feel comfortable enough to commit. My personal trainer, Ciara is very attentive, friendly and sweet. I 100% recommend her, this gym and their staff to anyone who wants to start working out! Another perk is they also have a cutie patootie dog :) read more

Mannnn, this place is top notch. From the equipment to the training staff this place is on point. There's machines & equipment I've only seen in pictures or videos. They literally have everything you could ever want equipment-wise ('cept for a smith machine....but that's why I love this place). All the training staff is knowledgeable as ever, beyond friendly & are always willing to help/show you something. The clientele that comes to the gym ranges from first timers to elite athletes to power lifters and body builders. There's a sense of acceptance for all fitness levels. I've been coming here for a little over a month now & I don't think I'll be leaving any time soon. This place really is the GOAT. #bless read more

GOAT Fitness - Rook is the gym dog I didn't know I needed. - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

Best Gym Ever! The new sanctuary room is so sick. Gotta come check it out. All the coaches are highly knowledgeable and the staff is super friendly. Feels like I'm working out with a big group of friends. Couldn't recommend them more read more

Just moved here a few weeks ago and have been looking for a gym. I stumbled upon GOAT fitness via groupon and was lucky enough to try out my sessions with several trainers- Jon, Josh, and Keith. I previously have worked with both physiotherapists and personal trainers on specific recovery and training goals and the GOAT trainers were excellent in helping me to continue on working on these goals. It's clear that they are all there because they truly love fitness! In addition to the trainers, I also really enjoy the gym itself. It's well equipped and feels like the home-gym-i-wish-i-could-afford-to-buy. It's definitely for those who prefer the more private boutique-style gyms than the large gym chains. In terms of membership options, I love the flexibility and no-contract options as it allows me to add on GOAT training in addition to my other fitness class workouts. Rook the pup is also there helping out sometimes, so give her some pets if you see her :) read more

Coming to this gym was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I began with getting personal training sessions. Kevin and Ciara were very personable and did a great job challenging me with my workout. Currently, I pay for an open gym membership. This place has a plethora of high quality equipment, so it's very easy to integrate a wide range of exercises. All of the trainers are very knowledgeable. Jon, Keith, and Josh frequently help me and give me tips on not only my form and technique, but also ways I can tweak my diet and monitor my progress outside the gym. I showed up as a newbie about 8 months ago. Already I've noticed so much improvement in my confidence, posture, appearance, and overall energy. The environment from the trainers and other clients is wonderful, and this has become a place that I've happily looked forward to visiting multiple times a week. :) read more

Absolutely life-changing experience with Goat Fitness! Trainer Alex is nothing short of a miracle worker. His dedication, expertise, and unwavering support played a pivotal role in my weight loss/bodybuilding journey. I've shed over 30 lbs and have never felt or looked better. Alex's approach is holistic, ensuring not just physical transformation but also fostering a positive mindset. If you're seeking real, sustainable results, look no further than Goat Fitness and the magic touch of Alex. I'm super grateful I have approached this private training gym beginning of the year! Highly recommended! read more

Hello Jonathan, My intention was to use the groupon you have for your business to get it at the price that they offer it. There has to be some workaround to where you can honor the groupon price. I'm not asking for a refund which "goes against your policy" I'm asking for you to honor the groupon price. Surely that is something that you as the owner can do. You have denied any such thing for a long time now, please be a good owner and work with your customer. I am a consumer not a partner, I would like for you to honor the groupon price. Please let me know how we can go about that as the next step. I look forward to hearing back from you. I appreciate the offer but I do not want to go to a gym that treats me like this. I would appreciate you meeting me where I am at so we can move on. read more

If you're looking to train hard in the most positive and FRIENDLY environment, attain results with real trainers who know what they're doing, this place is right for you. The owner has created a space where people of all walks of life can see the benefit of strength training, functional training, and mobility in their daily life. GOAT fitness is not a fluff gym where you can walk on a treadmill for 45 minutes. GOAT fitness is a private gym where certified trainers TEACH their clients to train. Most of the equipment in this gym is brand new , and there's no shortage of weights, tires, hammers and sleds. Summer is right around the corner. So you better schedule that consultation soon! read more

GOAT Fitness - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

Jon is the best personal trainer I've ever had! I've trained with him for almost two years, and he has taken my workout to the next level. Jon considers both the goal of the client (bodybuilding, power/strength building, weight loss, athletic performance) and the personal characteristics of the client's anatomy to devise the perfect program for each individual. He's energetic, funny, and truly loves his job and is passionate about his clients' progress. Thanks to Jon, I grew to actually enjoy working out, and I looked forward to every session. Also, with Jon, I was able to repeatedly break my PR for major compound exercises. Jon is the real GOAT! read more

Been looking for a new gym as I just moved to the area and loved this place! Was super clean, staff was great and friendly, the other members were just as great too. It's got all you need for a strength training program and their trainers know what they are doing. They have different membership options just let them know what you are looking for. I went Friday afternoon and volume was low. It's a no BS kind of gym, which is what i was looking for. I was an athlete my whole life and worked years in the gym scene and can't wait to get back into lifting after a few months off. This place definitely motivates me to get back to where I was before. Plenty of barbells and equipment - and great quality as well (rogue)! - platforms, bumper plates, anything you can imagine you would need to hit your goals, this is the spot. I'm going back for a morning workout to check out the volume but most likely will make this my gym home read more

Phenomenal gym with top rouge equipment. Love the new space they added plenty of racks to use now. Harry was a phenomenal worker and was always happy to teach how to use a particular equipment/machine I was not familiar with. Best gym in OC! read more

I've been working out here for over a month now and have absolutely loved it! GOAT has the best equipment, but most importantly a great community. Having moved to CA from out of state, Jon (the owner) and all of the staff have been nothing but friendly! 100% recommend whether you're an advanced athlete looking for a great space or a beginner just getting started. read more

Grateful to call GOAT Fitness home. Jon Sheppard is phenomenally gifted at understanding where you are at and structuring workouts specifically for you that allow you to build strength and reach your true potential. I make my GOAT workouts a priority as they greatly improve my energy, mindset and quality of life. Thank you Jon for being a positive influence in my life. P.S. The new iso lateral leg press is AWESOME! read more

Best decision I have ever made to get trained here! Learned so much about how to build my muscles, eat better,and improve my overall fitness! Thank you coach John for changing my life! read more

Excellent gym, Expert trainers, and complete strength equipment! Absolutely recommend!

Best gym I have ever been to. It is a small community where everyone is encouraging and friendly and I always feel comfortable. The trainers really care about their clients and it shows. I am always nervous to try new gyms but GOAT Fitness exceeded all my expectations. I can't picture myself going to any other trainer. Also they have dogs, they are the best, I love them. My trainer Keith is amazing, he is so patient and makes the workouts challenging but fun. Jon, the owner, is extremely helpful, fun and has created the best atmosphere. Highly recommended GOAT Fitness for everyone. :) read more

Best private gym around! They are amazing with personal training. The atmosphere is extremely inviting, no one makes you feel uncomfortable. Great equipment, and if you don't know how to use something, someone is there to show you. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to get their fitness on! read more

I have tried many diets and gyms throughout my years on the planet and in the end, the results can be attributed to the trainer, the training, and me. Well, I have finally found a gym and a trainer who I both enjoy and that's G.O.A.T. Fitness and Joshua P. Now truth be told when I heard the name I thought - "here we go, a bunch of millennials who will be pumped on power drinks, steroids, and egos - running around outside or in a parking lot with all kinds of weights and contraptions, yelling at each other for motivation and not understanding or caring that I am no longer 20" which was not what I was looking for. Luckily, for me - I was totally WRONG. The GOAT crew and Joshua are very welcoming and highly trained. I don't feel pressured in any way, I am feeling stronger and even with bad knees, I want to give it my all when I come to the gym two days a week. I have even made a small gym in my apt so I can dedicate 15 to 30 minutes a day to a better way of life. I am grateful that Joshua gets me and wants to help me achieve my goals - which are to be healthy, strong, toned, and more energetic. I get ALL of that at GOAT Fitness. So whether you are in high school, an athlete, or a boss 60-year-old like me, come down and get it in with Jon and Joshua, and who knows you might hear me cheering you on! Peace & Blessings. read more

What can I say besides GOAT! Go-to place to grind and get straight into the lab. Some say eat, sleep, grind, repeat and I say GOAT, GOAT, GOAT, and GOAT. From a future GOAT to GOAT creators! read more

Great facility. Family gym. Everyone is friendly and inviting. Things are super clean and maintained. There's a small shower to clean up after working out. Can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

With COVID-19, I kinda let myself go. Who am I kidding...I really let myself go. Then 2021, life starts to look normal again but then you start to look at things differently through post-COVID eyes. Instead of heading back to the big corporate/faceless gyms, I wanted to find a REAL, locally-owned gym with serious clientele who are there for results. G.O.A.T. is what I was looking for. It's like a family...everyone is nice and it is incredibly motivating when you're working out with people who actually came to work out. No mirrors (for the posers), but they have everything else you need to get back to the absolute best shape of your life. I promise you'll love it. read more

GOAT fitness is a great facility, I have been working here over a year and I love the environment. Jon the owner is very patient and makes sure you're taken care of. Come by! read more

GOAT Fitness - Gym dogs - Gyms Near Me - Irvine, California

Absolutely an amazing gym! I got to train with Jon and he provides a lot of feedback with form and gave nutrition advice to help me achieve my goals! I came in to learn and get more knowledge on form, and he really guided me and informed me how all the muscle groups work. They are very knowledgeable and are there to help you with whatever you need. It seems like there is a strong community and everyone is so kind, I strongly strongly suggest giving this place a try! They will help you get fit, build muscle and strength! Thank you guys so much, will be back again! read more

Can't speak highly enough of Jon and his gym. From the moment I called him he was never pushy and super willing to accommodate me. He set me up with Ciara for some personal training and she did an AMAZING job helping me improve my form and diet and pushed me. Loved this gym and looking forward to being a regular. read more

Jon and his team of trainers are professional and efficient. GOAT Fitness is a no nonsense training facility for anybody who's ready to do the work. * stock piled with gear and weights, sled, ropes, tires and knowledgeable trainers * no mirrors is a plus * towels & water * shower * dogs Rook & Dora encourage you along the way * Lucas welcomes you Personally my trainer Clara guides me with form and pushes me to get a few more reps. I'm very happy with my decision to train at GOAT Fitness. These folks are dedicated to helping you on your fitness training journey. read more

I wanted to provide an update now that I've been going here for over a year now. Besides training with Jon, I have also trained with Drew and Clara and they are both equally amazing! I have seen how my strength has progressed over time. I really enjoy the events they sometimes put on and the cleanliness of the gym. It is very apparent that Jon and the other trainers care for their clients deeply. I highly recommend giving it a try. I've seen a lot of progress since my time here! They also will help with your nutrition and provide information on your body fat percentage! read more

GOAT fitness has completely changed my life. I seriously had no idea the positive impact it would have on my life until now and here I am to happily share... First off Jon, the owner, is very hands on and passionate not just about fitness but about Well being! He makes the complex puzzle of nutrition, diet and exercise easy and seem less. Jon is extremely knowledgeable and has the credentials to back it up all while being down to earth and funny as hell. You can tell his trainers are carefully chosen to suit this low key yet spot on gym, this place is a total gem. Gem Gym!! A little about me: I'm 5'4" 120lbs 26 yr old female. I've been a "healthy eater" with a love for Pilates and yoga for about a decade now but I had no idea what my body really needed to look my best. Within the first couple months of my membership with GOAT fitness I had completely changed my routine and gained the confidence to lift, the mental encouragement to push, and the payoff of a rockin body. I now have the tools for longevity and a lifestyle to make me the best, and healthiest, version of me. ( I've been a member for over a year now) I can't say enough about this gym! Best investment I've ever made hands down read more

Absolutely love coming to train at this gym. I feel so comfortable when I'm here. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. I'm still new with training and I never once feel out of place. The owner, Jon is very nice and keeps a very organized and clean establishment. I'm so grateful to have found this gym. Definitely worth giving this gym a try. You won't regret it. read more

I love the fact that they actually try to help you on what you're trying to accomplish. Everybody is friendly and amazing. There isn't no doubt about this gym! Just the down side I'm from LA area but I will definitely return back soon. read more
