He even devises different nutritional meal plans for me to try, and he's got me eating healthier. As the years passed Eric adjusted my training to fit my aging body and keep my mobility. He is very personable and energetic. He's a straight shooter, and his methods work! DEFINITELY recommend Eric for anyone aspiring to live a healthier life!

Left because of my own budget reasons but I also sought 7 other Coaches. Nothing compared to him. Last year my husband asked what I would wish for and I wished for him. The universe had us cross paths in Costco 3 days later and 2 weeks later he's back to being my Coach. He has and will always be the best coach I have ever had, still is. Grateful for another opportunity since in 200lbs again haha but I wouldn't choose anybody to be on this journey with besides him!

I'm now an NPC Judge and currently training in Jiu Jitsu. I had known of Jed for a while before finally booking a 30-minute session to give him a test run. With no prep time, he put together four exercises on the spot. After the first one, I looked at him and said, "Sign me up for five more sessions--immediately." Jed brings his A-game to every session. He's constantly pushing me to be a better athlete, always thinking of new ways to challenge and improve me. He's motivating, professional, and always respects my time--he answers my messages promptly and never lets personal distractions interfere with training. What really sets him apart? He's never negative. He doesn't talk down to people, doesn't gossip--just pure, focused energy. Training with Jed is a breath of fresh air. He's a keeper, and I'm keeping him as my trainer.

All his plans are straight forward nothing fancy and all the basics that you need. We made a lot of progress in the 1 year we have worked together and the two shows I competed in we made improvements on so I look forward to the future to see how much I can progress. Everything we have done has worked so as long as you are putting in the effort he will see it and does acknowledge it. He is very old school and blunt and can have mood swings at times and doesn't censor himself so if you can't handle criticism or don't have thick skin and get emotional I would not go to him. Overall happy with having him as coach and he is very affordable. And I would recommend him to anyone.

I love this gym but it's not quite 5 stars and I'll explain why. Lets first go through the…read morepositives of this gym. Pros: It's spacious, everybody is serious at this gym (no chit chatting/on their phone just sitting at the machine), parking is always readily available, they have a WOMEN'S SECTION (this is a huge plus for me!! Ladies, you'll love this section! No boys allowed!), lots of machines and free weights, music is always bumpin' with good music, lots of disinfecting stations. Although they are not opened 24 hours right now due to COVID, this place is great and I don't have to wait for any machines or weights. I can't wait till the classes open up so I could try it, too. Cons: They need to clean...and I mean clean the dusts on the walls and floors. This is minor and could be resolved quickly but it makes me wonder how often they clean when I see the same dust piles week after week in the same area. The women's restroom smells ALL the time. Not sure if there's a plumbing issue but I gag every time I go into the locker room. There's no WIFI... I was surprised they had no WIFI. Otherwise, great gym!

But noticed theres two tanning booths but hardly anyone uses them. Mahalo again Pearlridge Planet Fitness

Awesome gym and the location is minutes away from my house. Great staff and the cleaning machines…read moreare always filled (thank you). The machines are clean and works amazing. The only bad thing about this gym that left a sour taste was the late fee of $20. I used this membership under a different card and I missed a payment. The late fee is $20. I went into the gym and the friendly staff said "the manager will call you back and can help remove the $20 late fee since it's your first time." He let me in and I was able to workout. Monday came and I didn't receive a call from the manager so I called the gym in the afternoon. I explained wha happened and the front desk lady said, "I'm sorry, but the manager declined the request ". Can't waive $20 huh? Thanks manager! Other than that, the gym is awesome! State of the art equipment and friendly staff.

After searching for personal trainers in my area, I reached out to Ben at Bodies by Ben for a…read moreconsultation. He responded promptly and we set up a time to meet. During the consultation he addressed my goals, eating habits, health/injuries, and recommended a training schedule. Without hesitation I signed up and started right away. Ben was patient, supportive and motivated me when I started to slack. He is an amazing trainer who is both personable, knowledgeable and flexible with scheduling. I've been training with Ben for two months now and can definitely see and feel a difference. It's the best feeling in the world to fit back into clothes that were too little a few months ago and have more energy throughout the day. If you want a push, results and no judgment definitely check out Bodies by Ben you will not be disappointed.

He knows all about fitness and will show you the right way to get you in tiptop shape. I was totally out of shape and had problems balancing when I walked. My condition was so bad doctors thought I might have Parkinson's. In just three weeks Rey got me strong enough to steady myself when I walk. And for the first time in years, he has given me hope to resume a normal life. Thank you Rey. If you need to get in shape call him. He will give you the knowledge and training you need to get the job done.

I'm a person who is very self conscious of my weight, so fitness gyms can be down right terrifying…read more I recently lost weight and plateaued and didn't know what more I could do so I looked at trusted Yelp for personal trainers that could guide me into the holy path of fitness. I emailed a couple places and Rey quickly responded to my inquiry and I scheduled an initial visit. Feeling very inadequate like someone who forgot their lightsaber at a Star Wars convention, I walked into his gym. Rey is so friendly and mellow it's was like talking to a long time friend. He listened to my concerns and set up a program customized for me. As I continued going, I got very comfortable at his gym, where folks are nice and only focused on their individual fitness. I originally went only to lose more weight but Rey taught me so much more. He customizes your regime according to you. I have a significant slouch and Rey has helped me with corrective posturing. He has taught me about safe weight lifting (to prevent injuries), nutrition (how to eat) and techniques to use at home. Rey is truly a master in all aspects of health and fitness. I feel better, have more energy and my posture has vastly improved. I find exercising a huge part of my routine now. I met some nice ladies at his gym and I've been inspired by their muscles to continue my own fitness path. I highly recommend Rey if you are focused on getting right with your body and health.

Coach Jason is awesome! He is super welcoming, very knowledgeable, great sense of humor, friendly,…read moreand awesome at breaking down and explaining techniques and principles. He is very observant and goes above and beyond what most instructors do in terms of actively approaching individuals with helpful feedback, and is very patient with everyone. He's also hilarious and very laidback so he promotes a fun and welcoming environment. Him and his son Gage make sure everyone is taken care of and will pair higher belts with those that need help, and watch out for everyone so nobody gets hurt. Not only is it fun and safe, it is a challenging workout and I always end up learning something useful. Thank you!
