I actually never thought in a million years I would see him in person at my gym, but there he was . He saw me using the app and came over and said hi. He told me he still trained at a gym under Sunset Towers and Sunset and offered a free couple sessions to help keep figure out my workout plan and path. I've been training with him for two years now and it's sometimes the singular thing I really can look forward To in a hard week . His app and his workouts are the best . I'm the leanest and strongest I've ever been and he has crafted me into my personal feminine ideal. I have my booty and my curves BUT not the unneeded body fat lol. Every session is different and we target different muscles and different ways to pinpoint them . He is very specific and detailed in my legs especially and knows every exercise in the world seemingly at this point . We laugh a lot and talk about just about anything - that helps me to be distracted through a lot of the strenuous stuff . It's like I've figured out my life and body at the same time haha Adam as many know requires accountability . On days we don't train I usually have assignments to do on my own . He either checks them on the app or in person by asking me for a text update . He also checks on my diet and nutrition weekly and at the start daily . He pretty much is just a huge needed part of your life

I've trained with Adam for about seven years now and his app SHRED for two and a half lol. Not only…read morehas Adam changed my body he has changed my life . He has instilled a level of confidence, discipline and pride that I never had before and it bleeds into everything I do, relationships and especially my business. In the first two years I lost 20 pounds and had my body fat percent down to a consistent 13-14 on a hydrostatic from a high of 26 percent . The best part is I worked my ass off to get there BUT I maintained it for the next five years as almost an afterthought. Adam instilled the habits and kept on me to keep pushing through adversity and change in my personal life. He does my nutrition , programming and uses the app to make sure I do basically the same workouts we do, but on my own. Adam also is known for checking in ..... A LOT! Almost every day I hear from him . Maybe that's because we are basically family now, but he just cares so much and wants you to be your best you. It's cool, it's cool to have one person champion you so hard . I am so grateful to have found Adam , what seems like a lifetime ago

Training Loft has literally been life changing.

When you join you get an eval with a physiotherapist, who then meets with the trainers to determine where you, specifically, need to start building strength. I have never in my life been stronger and we even healed a high school knee injury and a recent disc injury. Sessions are efficient and intensive, 30 min (but you can double up for a 60). For semi private, one trainer guides 3 people doing their own program, so it's completely custom and very hands on re: form, etc. The owners, Wayne and Stephen, have created an amazing program and vibe: Supportive, AUTHENTICALLY positive, with trainers who know what they're doing and are so personable. I have never felt unsafe, even as I advance to things I've never done before. Highly HIGHLY recommended.

They're not just great trainers, they're great people.

A little inspiration never hurts, right? I was a long time runner who found myself completely disheartened after multiple hip surgeries and other orthopedic issues. After graduating from PT, I had a hard time finding my way back to exercise with the right method. I felt lost about how to workout without fear or pain and was looking for a solution but, really - I guess I was looking for Thaddeus. He treated my process like an exciting project that we shared which made the whole experience feel like an adventure! As patient and encouraging as he is, he doesn't cut much slack! Before I knew it, my workouts felt like a second job. I often referred to him as an exercise dictator and tried to threaten him with my pointy shoe collection, but he insisted that barefoot shoes were best for my issues. No matter how much I put up a fight, I knew he really believed in me and that was everything. Thad was really invested in my injury recovery and genuinely cared about seeing me doing what I love again without pain. He also helped me discover new types of exciting workouts, which took the pressure off of being a runner again right away. He always goes above and beyond and even spent time experimenting with some of the new techniques with me, which made me feel less alone on the journey. Thanks to him, I was able to finish a 10mile race strong; the first one since my hip surgeries 4 years ago. I am much stronger and in less pain. I have been able to connect with my body with incredible intention & discover a renewed sense of vitality that I had missed. He is a truly unique and talented person (and the eye candy certainly doesn't hurt!) and I feel so lucky that I was able to train with him. He really showed me that the sky is the limit when it comes to health & fitness. You would be in the best hands working with Thad, he'll help you change your life if you let him.

TRAINING WITH THADDEUS, 12 WEEKS TO TRANSFORMATION…read more At age 60, I believe--conveniently--- in the continual process of regeneration. This somehow worked to my favor recently as I emerged from a decade-long Dark Age, a seemingly endless period of inactivity and exhaustion brought on by thyroid autoimmune disease, Epstein Barr Virus, anemia, and arthritis. A total knee replacement three years prior did not result in pain-free walking. At too young an age I found myself wondering if I would ever feel good, energetic, and nimble again. This illness debilitated me, ended my very successful career, and limited my social activities including all thoughts of sex. I felt sad and over time grudgingly adapted to bad health by finding slower, smaller, quieter ways to find joy. Early in my physical breakdown, it occurred to me that I could heal myself with a correct diet, and I hired a brilliant private chef/nutritionist/teacher: I subsequently spent years developing a personal diet and supplementation plan that stabilized me. Then a surprising 2021 end-of-year blood panel showed relatively normal results (!) and inspired me to imagine and shoot for.... regeneration! In February 2022 I began a process to test and extend my physical limits: I decided to dust-off my weights, gather all my equipment, find a trainer and begin to get strong again. I found Thaddeus via an online search for nearby private trainers. Thaddeus was based at a gym a mere three blocks from my apartment, earned strong, positive reviews, and at my request, agreed to give an intro session at my home. Smiling face, handsome guy at the door. It was an excellent first session based on his assessment of my (lack of) fitness. He asked good questions, gave good explanations, patiently identified the muscle groups in focus, encouraged bravery and focus especially for those final reps, and was respectful. It was clear he was also well- studied in musculature. I liked his intelligence. Without hesitation I purchased a 20 session package and began training a week later. That first week was the only "one-session week" with Thaddeus: My unexercised body clearly needed the discipline of a structured session twice a week, and it responded quickly. Thad gave me homework and expected me to confirm nightly that the structural work was complete. Within the first 6 weeks, I became stronger, more agile, my knee pain was mostly gone and my glorious endorphins had kicked in. My "chi" roared back into high energy. After many sessions, I would imagine that bolts of energy were shooting out from my fingers. I felt restored very quickly, and without injury. I went through a physical and mental transformation within weeks that was palpable to me and confirmed by others. I am still transmitting my new energy to my world: Friends say they feel a new positive power emanating from me. The pounds dropped off---14 pounds in 12 weeks. I know that there is no way I could have achieved this alone. I had the right trainer at the right time. Thank you Thaddeus. I think it's important to express my gratitude to this person who gave me life-changing help, and to the universe which illuminated a potentially strong partnership for me. Thad is a great teacher and trainer, and I'm a good student. I feel lucky, and intend to train with him for a long time.

The locker rooms are on the first floor, the men's LR is labeled, "John" & the women's is labeled, "Jane". The space is colorfully designed and has a sleek, curvature aesthetic. Picture arch entry ways, gold oval-shaped mirrors, plush throne chairs & neon decor lights. . There are several levels and the floral carpeted stairs lead to a lounge, a room with weights and exercise machines, and another long hall that will take you to the treadmills, ellipticals, and stairclimbers. The space is also pretty clean and they offer complimentary toiletries including lotion, shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. . The lockers come with dial locks, but they are tricky to use and no instructions on how to were posted. I kept mine unlocked and all of my belongings were present post workout.

A few broken machines (minor things broken, but still) that don't seem to ever get fixed. I also dislike most of the seat covers since it's fabric so it soaks in everyone's dirty sweat with no way to clean it off. Lastly, I really think the open-air treadmill area is a horrible idea. You are forced to breath in a bunch of smog from rush hour Santa Monica Blvd traffic during your run, and you end up coughing and feeling less healthy after your workout (the first for me). I also really dislike the culture here. The music is extremely loud where the top noise-canceling headphones and music can't drown it out. Too many people don't rerack their weights, leave their dirty towels and wipes on equipment (worse than Golds, 24hr, LA Fitness), and too many flamboyant guys working out with no shirts (not something you should expect at this price-level).

When I arrived, the employee asked, "Do they want the water park too?" I replied, "That's why we're here." She then told me it was an additional $10 per person. What wasn't made clear is that the $10 only covers one hour. After getting inside, I learned you have to keep paying for every additional hour. For comparison: Castaic Splash Park 2 kids = $70 total Parent = free Adventure Lagoon (calculation based on 3 hours - though I chose this place to come for 4 hours since it was advertised as same price for all day) 2 kids admission = $70 Water park fees = $60 Parent admission = $35 Total = $165 So instead of spending the day at a beautiful lake surrounded by nature, we paid more than double to be at a small water park surrounded by warehouses.
