Great instructors. Especially like the focus on planning goals, and desired outcomes. Perfect for both newbies and experience athletes. Definite bonus being outdoors in such a beautiful environment. Highly recommend. read more

Update: Seven years of being a happy camper and I'm a bigger fan than ever. Jared Rodriguez has kept me working out thru surgery, two months in a boot with a broken toe, and anything else I throw at him. Body Inspired Fitness helps keep my body strong and my life on track. read more

I love everything this company represents. Fitness, support, friendships, knowledge, empowerment. Angela is doing exactly what she was put on this earth to do! One of the most energetic trainers I have ever met. I have taken many of my sessions with Holly and she is beyond awesome. I have learned things about my body that have changed my life. I have become stronger both physically and mentally under the teachings of these amazing ladies. I highly recommend you try a class. They even have FREE guest weeks often! You can't beat free and you can't beat the lessons learned from taking one of the 6 week sessions. read more

Inspired Method Fitness - View from pm Bootcamp - Trainers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

See all

I love the Inspired Method class at the Palisades Park in Santa Monica. All the trainers are great but Jared, the owner/manager, is just an unbelievable fantastic fitness trainer/coach! He is always motivated and motivates the students. He gives great instructions and is also great in giving corrections. All the trainers come up with something new every time and it's never boring. I like the combination between cardio and strength/weights a lot. If you want a great work out where you really feel that you have worked out the next day, this will be for you! Also the location on the bluffs near Montana Ave and the rose garden with ocean view is really lovely. I also appreciate that I can buy single classes as I travel for work. read more

I've been training with Jared for over 3 months now and I can't begin to explain the gains I have had. His training is truly one of a kind as he combines strength training, with mindfulness, with interval/cardio work. Jared is also constantly learning and implementing new techniques for every session. "Muscle confusion is the game to massive gains" he says! I highly recommend Jared and the entire Body Inspired Fitness Team. They are not only great trainers, but great, kind-hearted people as well. read more

I am so glad I found Body Inspired Fitness. I'd been wanting to find a trainer, but the ones I've found were either too expensive and/or a bit intimidating. You can either work out with the owner, Angela Parker, or one of her trainers. Angela will take all of your workout/health/fitness concerns into consideration and recommend the perfect trainer for you. I have been working with Autumn for several months now and I can't believe how much I've progressed. I am not an active person by nature, but since I started working out, I am actually enjoying the challenge. I work hard and it feels great and Autumn's expertise and encouragement make it all worthwhile. You also don't need a gym membership. They'll come to your location and bring their equipment. I don't have a big apartment, so don't worry about your space. Everything is doable. So don't wait any longer. Get in shape finally. I'm on my way, thanks to Autumn and Body Inspired Fitness. read more

Inspired Method Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I've been going to Jared's Inspired Method classes for over 4 years. We are a group aged from our 20s to our 70s, some very athletic, some not so much. We all work at our own level and are encouraged to explore a bit outside our comfort zones. It's a great outdoor group experience with a caring, experienced coach. read more

Angela Parker is a dream. She is positive, knowledgeable, fun and inspirational. I just finished my first six week camp and it's been life-changing. I can definitely see results and I feel great. Angela has helped me with the mental roadblocks I create for fitness and has proven to me that I can change with work and dedication. I love the motivation and positivity from BIF. Well worth it. read more

ANGELA! I ADORE YOU! I never thought a day would come that I would actually join a group class for fitness. Alyson and Angela are a dream. Angela encourages me and tells me that I can do it! Running, stairs, planking, etc! Though it's a group class, she stills gives you that one on one feel. She doesn't expect you to do what a triathlon does! You go at your speed, your rate, your fitness interval that she gives you. I am so grateful for Angela and I look forward to continuing to improve my body inside and out with BIF! read more

Jared is an incredible trainer and a very special human being. When you sign up for BIF, expect to be challenged, motivated, encouraged and rewarded. Jared pays attention to the details and helps you align form and function to win! I highly recommend BIF Santa Monica and I'm proud to give them a 5 star rating. Sign up today. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Inspired Method Fitness - Jared looking strong at BIF! - Trainers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I just finished my very first class of the New Year with Inspired Method. I signed up for the 6am sessions and I have never been more proud of myself for joining this program. Getting to the park before sunrise is crazy!! But Jared makes it all worth it. The workout is balanced so well with challenge, new and familiar movements, and you go at your own challenging pace. Jared makes you feel like you're on a 1:1 session with him, he pays close attention and encourages you to push yourself in all the best ways. I can't think of a better way to start the year than wit an Inspired Method workout at Palisades Park. See you next class!! read more

Angela Parker and the trainers at Body Inspired are the BEST...it's always challenging and never ever boring. They consistently keep me motivated and I actually look forward to working out at 5:30 in the morning (I can't believe I just said that!!). You don't have to be super-fit but even those athletic girls keep coming back for more. you should definitely try it!! read more

This is the first review I've ever written but I feel compelled to tell my story. I am a 64 year old woman who has never had a regular exercise routine. About 3 years ago, a friend recommended I give Holly's boot camp a try. I'd never done a plank, a push-up and I have back issues and an arthritic knee. Holly is firm but understanding, making modifications to accommodate my needs. And her, "you can do it!", helps motivate me along the way. Fast forward 3 years--I can do push-ups, planks and am stronger and feeling better today than I've felt in years. The workouts hit all our bits! Holly is the best!!! The group of women I work out with are also phenomenal, supportive and motivating. While there are days I don't want to go...I always feel fantastic when we're done. read more

Saw this class one day walking in the park and thought I'd give it a try. I felt comfortable right away with Jared and others in the group. There is some cardio and some strength training with weights, just a perfect combination. We have a different workout every time, keeps it interesting and stimulating. Especially now during covid, the outdoor venue has been the way to go! read more

AMAZING!! I just had a baby 6 months ago and didnt know where to start on getting back into shape. I have to say I never thought that working out could be so much fun!! Angela is AWESOME and all the other trainers are great too!! Awesome classes , great locations and you REALLY do see results!! I recomend this to everyone that I meet! The body inspired fitness team has been a true inspiration to me! read more

Well - pretty life changing for me! Jared, Angela and Holly are phenomenal trainers / life coaches. I started working out with the 6 am group and immediately realized that this was a different type of "boot camp." The group was incredibly diverse in terms of fitness levels and life backgrounds, however, they all seemed to love working out together and many of them had been with BIF for years. Jared and Angela bring different approaches to the workout, creating a blend of cardio, plyometrics, core strengthening, and yoga that not only improves fitness and endurance but also flexibility and balance. I've lost about 25 lbs. over the last year, but more importantly my overall fitness level has absolutely been the best it's been since college. Really can't say much more. Love BIF! read more

Angela and Jared are the SHIT. If you are looking for a really alignment-focused technical workout, this is for you. "Technical" isn't a bad word here--they are as focused on making your body work as optimally as possible, and that's through a lot of body awareness and alignment cues. They combine movements that you are getting multiple muscle groups activated at once, creating a workout that's got a lot of variety. They are always checking in to see how your body feels, too, which shows they're not just interested in the end result but the process as well. read more

I've been with Jared for over 3 years. During the Covid pandemic, it's been great having these virtual trainings. The power of having a community and a trainer to rely on during this time has been fantastic. I would never do a boot camp workout alone, I am just not motivated like that. But, having Jared and the group really pushes me and inspires me. Even though it's in my living room, Jared gives a great workout, I sweat, stretch, push myself, and stay in shape. THANK YOU JARED! read more

I LOVE Holly. Over the last 2 years full of life changes and injuries I still lost 15 lbs thanks to Holly's constant support and encouragement! I love to spin, but after a knee injury needed to change my workout routine. I found Body Inspired Fitness through a friend and I've been there ever since. Holly has helped me go gluten free (dr's reco), not be afraid of weights and truly look kick ass naked (haha!). I'm healthier now than I've ever been before and owe much of it to her. Holly truly saved my life and boosted my confidence to be the woman I am today. I recently turned 35 and someone told me yesterday I looked like I was 25 - YES. Also, while this is called "boot camp" this is definitely not crossfit. This is a class an outdoor workout where women are working on their trouble areas. Lots of booty, arms, thigh and ab work. We also often chat about our favorite TV shows in between reps :) Oh! And this class just moved to Palisades Park (the bluffs in SM) and it's SO much better. Easy parking, working out with an ocean view, etc. read more

I love Holly's boot camp! This is not the typical boot camp - Holly's workouts are challenging, but her fun and encouraging personality gets you through it with ease. She helps you set goals and then enables you to meet them. In the few months I've been attending, I've lost weight and gotten stronger, and been able to do things I wasn't able to when I started out. Holly's boot camp is perfect for anyone at any level who wants a great workout in a supportive setting. read more

Very knowledgeable and great workout! Both Jared and Ashley made me feel comfortable right from the start. Very challenging and great sweat!! They gave modifications appropriate for all fitness levels read more

Went to the guest week, and stayed for more! Angela and Jared rock. Read my post about it here: http://fromhereyoucanseetheocean.blogspot.com/2014/06/boot-camp-burn.html read more

BIF is hands down one of the best workouts and trainings out there. I LOVE Jared!!! His sessions are well planned, he's fully aware of everyone's strengths and goals and checks in before, during, and after the workouts. He always offers variations so if you can't do something due to injury or skill level, there's an alternative to keep you moving and engaged. No two sessions are ever the same so it never gets boring! He's very supportive and encouraging while also getting you be a stronger and healthier version of yourself. You can exercise and watch the sun set over the bluffs with a great group of people and an every better trainer! read more

Inspired Method Fitness - Trainers Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Absolutely, hands down, awesome. I never thought I would be able to do boot camp. I'm in my 50s and very active with yoga and spinning but just could not see myself doing cross-fit training, yet, I was not getting the cardio and strength building I needed. I happened upon Jared's class in Palisades Park just by walking by. He took some time to speak to me about the classes he leads, and gave me a flyer. I called the number and had an immediate return call that day from the owner, Angela - always a good sign! I called several other places, too and nobody called back and had the feel that Angela did. Jared is not intimidating and really takes the time to check in with you. I've been doing the class for 5 weeks in the morning. I am stronger, have more energy, feel like an athlete again, and lost 4mm off my belly so far. Love it so much, I am taking another session. Pros Varied workouts Excellent location Challenging without being scary "you suck at this" challenging Great weight workouts Jared is fun, realistic, caring Guest work-out coaches come in with new exercises Weekly emails to keep you up-to-date with the upcoming week's workouts and what you need to bring The other workout people are chill and not pretentious Various ages of people attend It's Outside! Cons None read more

Holly is everything you would want from an instructor: enthusiastic, fun, knowledgeable and encouraging. She knows how to handle clients at all levels of fitness and is able to personalize your workout even within a group setting. As much as i grumble about getting up early, I've never regretted a workout with Holly! read more

I came across Angela, Jeffrey and the Body Inspired Fitness Team through my girlfriend who'd been working out with her for awhile. I'd always been the gym rat who stuck to the weight machines, stair steppers, and treadmills but I have seen the light and I will never go back! Angela and Team create a holistic approach to fitness that keeps your body on its toes and never lets it get too comfortable with the routine. This is a huge plus not only for strengthening your body, but also your mind. I've gone through many trainers and always got bored after a few months. I've been with these guys for 4 months and (thankfully) see no end in sight. That's because every time I go to workout I know I'm gonna tackle some exercise, muscle, or skill I never knew I had. On top of that, they have a myriad of different classes at different times to choose from. No more of that missing classes due to work crap. This approach has done wonders for my body. In these 4 months I've shaved almost 3 minutes off my mile time (started at 9 1/2 minutes and am now sub 7 minutes), have taken 3% off my body fat, and have seen/felt noticeable changes in my posture and peace of mind. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

What's better than working out all your girl parts while watching the sun set over the Pacific? Doing it with the best trainer ever! Holly's classes are challenging and include the perfect combination of cardio and toning. She will motivate and encourage you and we never ever ever do the same workout twice. When I started with BIF I had not worked out consistently in a very long time. 1 1/2 years later I'm leaner and stronger than I have ever been. And Holly's classes are as challenging for my 20 something year old kids as they are for me. Her approach is fun and it works for all ages and fitness levels. read more

After a friend made the recommendation, I started working with BIF and attending Jared's co-ed evening class. Just one year later, I am not only excited and ecstatic about my physical appearance -- I feel better, I have more energy and my confidence sky-rocketed. I began seeing major improvements in the quality of my work, achievements, and social relationships. I can say with absolute conviction that Jared and the BIF team are the most comprehensive fitness group I've ever seen. They put in the work to not only be excellent at what they do, they are committed to their clients in a genuine way. They combine a multitude of fitness genres and individually design every workout with options to help you stay in YOUR body. These trainers know when to push, when to give a little love and how to help you connect with the best version of you. This may sound too good to be true, but it's simply fact. They always have great promo's, fun challenges and FREE guest week's so folks can check out their workouts. read more

they are the best team, ever. when you stick to their work out & eat healthy, you'll achieve the body you want. most of their works outs are fun, so you'll stick to it. angela is very motivating and fun to work out with!! read more

If you're looking for great workouts with amazing trainers and a ridiculous view, this is what you need to be doing. I started working out with BIF a couple years ago and I could not be happier to have found them. They are amazing people who really invest in you, find out what your goals are and actually help you achieve them. Working out can seem like a drag sometimes, but I can say I have never seen anyone leave a class of theirs without a smile on their face with the added bonus of feeling awesome after! They've definitely opened my eyes to a whole side of fitness and nutrition I didn't know I could be so invested in. They offer a variety of classes so no matter your schedule, there's something for everyone. read more

After working out on my own and observing many of the trainers in Palisades Park in Santa Monica, I knew I had found the right class with Jared. He knows precisely what he is doing and why, he understands how to work with different body types and levels of fitness , and teaches and reinforces the right technical alignment needed for a workout that was safe and that WORKS. I not only already see a difference in my body but I look forward to the workouts- even though I tend to be the slowest in the group. There's no judgement- only the will and desire to make us more fit, healthy and happy. Jared is truly a rock star- and at the top of his game. read more

I have been taking classes in LA for years and Holly is the Best! She is personally attentive and works within your physical limits, modifying, if needed exercises to accomodate injuries, etc.. She's inspirational, fun and produces results.. read more

Boot Camp is fun and rewarding!! Holly is amazing, entertaining, and supportive. She adds variety to each work out and offers a lot of encouragement. The time flies by. read more

I've been going to Body Inspired Fitness at the park for a few years now and I can't remember life before it! Holly, the trainer, is a fantastic combination of knowledge and heart. She wants you to succeed. And I'm in great shape, thanks to her. Plus, working out at the park is very relaxing and distracting. The time just flies by. I highly recommend this work out. Strength training and cardio. We work it all... but, legs, core, back, arms, etc. read more

Angela Parker and her team of trainers at Body Inspired Fitness have truley redefined the 'Bootcamp' workout. No trainers in camoflage pants yelling at you to work harder! It is the best wokout I have been involved in...it keeps me interested day to day and week to week. I Wasn't sure what to expect when I first joined but I just finished my 3rd bootcamp and will be coming back for more! read more

Angela Parker and Body Inspired Fitness is the change my body needed! Although I went to the gym daily to complete my hour of cardio and 30 minute weight training routine, I had plateaued. More importantly, the whole ordeal became very tedious and boring. It wasn't the stress and tension reliever it used to be. So, when one of my teammates expressed how amazing her all-girls Boot Camp was, I had to try it. The flexibility of the workout times and variety of the workout routines kept me motivated and excited for the next! After almost 3 camps, I lost the inches and pounds I needed to fit in my favorite "skinny" jeans that had become snug. And, this happened without having to spend an hour and a half at the gym every day! read more

This is a great way to get in shape and power up your lungs. Great teachers, locations and exercises make getting shape FUN AND EASY!! Not to mention the price is right. If you are wanting to eat a little extra this holiday season and keep the blues away... don't wait to sign up for classes. Great investment for your health. read more

Angela has changed my body and my life. I've worked out with trainers one-on-one and done other boot camps, but Body Inspired has the winning formula. Angela mixes it up so you're never bored. She's funny and inspirational, none of that faux military barking. Working out on the Santa Monica bluffs overlooking the ocean is a high in itself. Crank up the music and you're in your own video. The camp is made up of people at all fitness levels. Angela somehow keeps us all working at our best while working around any injuries you might have. Get yourself there and the results will show up, too. Do it! read more

HOLLY.IS.AMAZING. I HATE going to the gym. I'm never excited or looking forward to it. Just one of those things I need to do to keep in shape right? So I grit my teeth and just do it. That is totally not the case with Holly's class. I look FORWARD to my workout. I get upset if something gets in the way of my time there. I've been going to her class for six months now and it's still fun. Every day is different, and we never seem to do the same exercise more than once a week. I love that I'm getting stronger as well as leaner (I mean, I can do pushups - more than one - in a row!!). It's great to be able to button your jeans even after gorging on pizza the night before. Holly's class gives me that and more. She really focuses on keeping the class on track and pushing themselves to do a little more than they think they can, without guilting/screaming at you to do so. I really enjoy that it is ladies only (I personally get a bit intimidated at crossfit and some other co-ed classes I've tried) and that it works for all activity levels. I'm 35 and in a class with women of all ages and it just works. Even if it's been a bit (until her class, the last time I worked out 3-4x week consistently I was in my 20s), I would encourage you to check it out. If you want, you are welcome to email me (chio_fsu@hotmail.com) if you have other questions that I didn't address here, I feel that strongly about her and the productive impact she has had on my day to day life that I'm willing to correspond with random strangers to sell you on how much better you'll feel. Bottom line is she is great and will help you feel great about yourself and what you can accomplish. read more

Angela Parker and Body Inspired Fitness is the BOMB! So much more than a workout, it is a window to achieving whatever you want to achieve in life. Angela is the heart and soul of Body Inspired Fitness and as she takes you through your workout she always knows exactly what to say at exactly the right moment to get you to your best body ever! But the thing is, it doesn't stop there. I have been with Angela over a year now and the things she teaches and the motivation and positive energy flows out into your whole day! I've never written a Yelp review ever in my life but felt I NEEDED to get the word out. You will NOT be sorry :)) read more
