(This review is for fitness training with David S)…read more I can't recommend David highly enough. As a former college athlete, he brings a deep level of knowledge--not just in building strength and fitness, but also in injury management, recovery, and long-term sustainability. That expertise shows up in every session. As an athlete in my mid-40s with my fair share of injuries and the wear and tear that comes with age and life, David has been very helpful. He has helped me stay consistent, get stronger, and avoid setbacks. What really sets him apart is how attentive and adaptable he is. He adjusts workouts on the fly based on how you're feeling that day, while still challenging you in the right ways. He brings great energy, a positive attitude, and a sense of humor that makes tough workouts enjoyable. And after the workout he takes you through stretches, which is a great way to end the session. It helps me feel calm and restored as I transition to the next thing. Beyond all of that, David is simply a kind, genuine person who truly cares about his clients. It's clear this is more than a job for him--it's his mission.

My lower back pain is gone, I can bend easily, I am not afraid all the tine to hurt myself. I am so grateful for him. The front desk staff is not friendly all the time but that's ok.

It's the first place where I've truly…read morefelt confident using a barbell, lifting heavy, and building real strength, especially in my legs and glutes with focused squat work. The small group training format makes a huge difference: the coaches genuinely care about your progress, and you feel like you're getting stronger together. Their approach is refreshingly balanced, no pressure to train every single day. They encourage consistency with a realistic 3x-a-week cadence that's sustainable and actually delivers results. One of the biggest standouts is their incredible nutritionist, Celia. She's knowledgeable, encouraging, and keeps things flexible and realistic, no rigid plans or extreme restrictions. Plus, because she's also a trainer at the gym, she understands the full picture of your training and can tailor her guidance accordingly. I've worked with several nutritionists in the past and Celia is by far the best. Lift Society even throws in the occasional social outing, which makes it feel more like a community than just a gym. It's honestly one of the hardest things to leave behind as I move from LA to Brooklyn.

The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely committed to fitness. I've learned proper form, improved my posture, and built strength I didn't know I had. When I first started lifting, I was wobbly and off-balance - like Bambi. Now, I feel confident and powerful. I've also gained a much better understanding of how important nutrition is. This is hands down the best gym I've ever been to, and I'm so glad I found it. Shout out to the trainer Alexis who has been so patient with me and cheered me on since day one. She's so motivational. She always has such a warm and positive spirit about her. I don't know how she does it with her super early morning classes lol She is truly a gem. Out of all trainers I have ever had she is the one that has inspired me the most to know that it's possible and I can do it. The proof is there! I've done DEXA scans along the way and I've continuously cut fat and gained muscle.

The locker room is what you'd expect in a facility open to the public, but the pool itself, water quality, staff attitude and lifeguards are all first class. The pool water temperature and chlorine levels are nearly always right where they should be. At times when I've forgotten my goggles, I have completed my workout without great eye discomfort. Currently, October 2022, the pool is not open as many hours as it was prior to the pandemic. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, the pool is divided in half with four lanes for laps swimmers ; the balance of the pool is reserved for recreational swimmers. There is a diving board for those that pass the swim test. Be sure to check the schedule before heading to the pool as swim lessons can intrude on lap swimming lanes. Children's and adult swim lessons are offered for a modest price, and the classes tend to be small. Most all of the staff wear face masks at all times. As of now, masks are not required for entry. The entry fee has varied over the years, but it has always been very affordable. Right now, 2022, seniors get in for one dollar.

I write this review with trepidation because I do not want this pool to become crowded, but I've…read morebeen searching for a good local pool and hope that this review can help others who are doing the same. This pool is located on the campus of Venice High School, and is open to the public during various hours (see website for details). Also, it is the only indoor pool in that area that I know of beside the one at the Santa Monica 24 hour fitness. The locker rooms, like any public pool, leave much to be desired, and are built like concrete bunkers. The walls and floor are all concrete, thus cold pools of water cover the entire floor and it is freezing in there, especially when you're wet. However one thing I liked was that rather than having actual lockers, there is an attendent behind a cage window that you hand your items to kind of like a coat check. They also have these mesh bags that you can use which hang on these metal poles they set up so that you don't have to put your stuff onto the wet bench or floor. Once you put everything in the bag you simply hand it to the attendant for you to get later. This way you don't have to cram everything into a little locker or worry about bringing your own lock. There are also lifeguards on duty and they have kickboards and poolbuoys available for use. The structure itself is also very well ventilated so though it gets colder than a smaller building, there is less of that strong chlorine smell. All of the attendants and lifeguards on duty are friendly and helpful. The crowd is mixed, though I would say it skews toward the older side. All in all, this is a great place if you're looking for a no frills swim. While you do have to suck it up while you're undressing/dressing before and after swimming if you're going during the colder months (and wet floors and benches are annoying), the pool is spacious and well kept. I also love that it's less than 2 miles from my apt.

If you are going to violate the rules and bring your dog which I love animals I love dogs you gotta clean up after your animal. It's not OK to just to leave dog poop on the trail. And also, why aren't my Park Rangers enforcing this rule anyhow, if you wanna take a nice walk, that's gonna give you a little workout without doing too much strain than this is the park for you! At the end of the day, this is a very pretty park where you can actually barbecue you do need to reserve the space. I don't know how much it cost, but I know you need to reserve the space and then you can have a party there there's a skate park attached. I mean it's a nice park just please people be respectful and I guess it's not the Park's fault per se... But if there are Park Rangers, why aren't they enforcing this rule? Also, they lease out some space to this company that does these really cool teambuilding, exercises and wall climbs and stuff. It's pretty cool. I wanted to do it but it was like $100 a person and I was like ouch! All in all, there is a beautiful view when you do reach the top and I don't mean the top on the bottom I mean all the way up to the top has the picture show you can see all the way to the beach on a clear day.

I've been a client at MetaTouch for almost a year now, and I have to say that every time I go there I have a great experience. The clinic is very clean, great customer service and the entire staff is extremely helpful and nice, I've always been satisfied. Regarding the massages, I found at MetaTouch something that I couldn't find anywhere else. I have seen 3 different staff therapist throughout last year, and all off them were very good! They really found out where my pain was coming from and instead of just working to relief it temporarily, they tried to solve the core problem. They can also give you just a relaxing massage if you want to, just be specific on what you are expecting. But I have to give a special review to the owner, Holden Zalma. The guy is a natural healer!!! He is absolutely incredible, much better than any chiropractor or therapist I've seen before. I had some back and ankle problems that nobody could figure it out what it was. Everyone tried. Then I went to Holden and it was gone with a few treatments. I don't really know what he did, but months of chronic pain that kept me from running, dancing, etc., went away. When I was in pain, anybody couldn't help me nothing over Holden! Two thumbs up to the everyone at MetaTouch, especially to Holden! read more

I started with MetaTouch via Groupon for a message about 4 years ago, and have been loyal ever since. The masseuses have been wonderful! I always have had nothing but wonderful messages and always feel so much better afterward. About 2 yrs ago, I injured my shoulder/lat really badly. So, I started to have treatments by Holden, which have been a blessing! The techniques that Holden uses to manipulate the muscles have helped me so much! It's truly amazing! He's treatments had gotten my shoulder back to place where I could slowly begin to build it back up with my work outs. Unfortunately, I again re-injured it just recently, and AGAIN Holden's treatments have saved me! This time I was very immobile and in a lot of pain. Even with the amount of inflammation that my shoulder had, the treatment that Holden was able to do at that time gave me relief of pain and some mobility! Than night I slept pain free and the next morning the mobility had improved. With each treatment, my shoulder's mobility has improved and the pain is no longer a constant issue. I'm amazed with the techniques and the amount of healing that those techniques bring...If you're suffering with injury, please give MetaTouch a call and find out what they can do for you.

AVOID!!!!! Skip this "business!!!" I called and tried a FEW times to schedule an appointment with the office manager/front staff Judy, who is young and rude! I showed up and my masseuse had to cancel my massage the moment I arrived because of an "emergency." Judy was inexperienced and rather RUDE to me when I called to make my massage appointment AGAIN. I guess they don't want my business. So be it. The staff are unorganized and unreliable and the masseuses apparently don't care about their appointments because they keep making me schedule again. No, thank you. I'm done with Metatouch and their inept, rude staff. I'm going to take my business to the Massage Garage. They're cheaper and more professional. An hour massage at Metatouch is $110.00 (REALLY??!?!?) unless you buy your next message ahead of time and it expires in 2 months. Really?! If I get busy I have to pay the DIFFERENCE?! Again, another stupid move and they can't keep their schedule organized. Take it from me when I tell you Massage Garage was polite, professional and a 1 hr massage is only $48.00 (down from $110!! at Metafraud) AND they were able to fit me in the same day!!! Metafraud needs to get their business together. Good riddance!! read more

I barely have time to read email, much less write a review. But given my personal experience, and the positive impact Holden at Metatouch has had on my quality life in just a few sessions, I am taking the time. Holdenhis ability is really quite unique. I did not know what a theraputic massafe was, and have had other forms of massage that felt good but did not impact my physical well being. I found him by chance after 1 year unrelenting physical pain, and orthopedic surgeon telling me surgery was my onlty solution, as well as a variety of medical attempts t resolve my pain and relieve a pinched nerve and sciatica problem. I went to see him referred by a friend who simply shared her story, so that it what I am doing.was resolved. I have had 3 sessions, have regained mobility in my back, am able to stand upwright and reganed neuroligical function in my toes. This is not just a run of the mill deep tissue massage. The premises are vey clean, people friendly, and the results speak for themselves. Since my alternative was sugery, or continuing to suffer daily, I strongly recommend Metatouch,. Oh yeah,forgot to mention, he is a real nince person too! read more

I went to Metatouch yesterday for the first time and saw Holden. I can not even express how grateful I am for what he did. I threw my back out 2 1/2 years ago in a dance class and it hasn't been the same since. I have seen many chiropractors and nothing comes close to what Holden did. It was like someone scanning your body for what is not in alignment and massaging and putting it back in place. Like nothing I have ever experienced....sooo cool! I could not bend over or down without holding on to a chair. I got off the table and was able to bend over without help and pick up my socks!! I feel significantly better. I woke up this morning able to go on a run for the first time in a very long time. It's amazing how your physical health effects your mood, I'm so much more happier now. I wish I would have seen him a long time ago!!! He was also very funny and personable and makes you feel at home. Such a great place with great people doing great things!!! read more

I've been going to MetaTouch since 2005. My life is stress city. Before this time, I was a frequent visitor to the ER for migraines and tension headaches. Over the years, I have learned how the stress within my life affects my body and how better to care for it. Holden knows how to release stress/tension within the body and how to assist me in processing/managing same. He has always been respectful, professional, and above board. One of the philosophies of MetaTouch is to heal the body and sometimes, that means educating the client. People come to MetaTouch in pain and leave feeling better. I know that I do. Some massage places are there to make you feel good. MetaTouch does more. And, for folks who don't want chatter, speak up to up to the person giving the massage. You're in the driver's seat. read more

Both my wife and I have been coming to Holden and Metatouch for a few years now. We have found that whenever we are in need of pain relief of any kind, all we have to do is call and make an appointment for a treatment. Once the treatment is over, we come out relaxed and rejuvenated. Our pain is gone or leaving and if that is the case, by the time we get home it is gone. Holden has been instrumental in my wife being able to work without severe migraines. As for me, Holden has treated me for a variety of muscular pains, he has given me relief and great advise in order to live a more comfortable life.

Metatouch Body Balance provides a nice escape from daily stress with its range of massages. The atmosphere is calming, but I found some techniques to be a bit mismatched for my preferences.

Cathy G was professional and consummate in her evaluation of my pain level while creating a personal massage that made me feel better than I have in years. I have arthritis in different locations and I walked out of meta touch feeling pain free! Thank you Cathy!!!!!! read more

When you need a thorough, mind-easing, body re-energizing massage, see Holden at Meta-Touch. He is the master of holistic healing, will work out every last kink and knot in your tired body and send you on your way a better soul. Be sure to take advantage of their special deals, too. I traveled from Orange County to see him and it was completely worth it. Can't wait to go back. read more

I've always had a wonderful experience at meta-touch from the minute I walk through the doors. I had severe pain in my hand and after a ONE session with Holden the pain went away. I took my father which is 6'2 and weights about 245 pounds he has hip, Leg, and back problems. His fatigue and pain is gone or less in certain areas and he can move around better. read more

Metatouch is one of the best finds I've made since moving to CA a couple years ago. The staff is so friendly and talented. Todd is a gem, and works magic on the knots in my shoulders and neck. Shannon at the front desk always has a smile on her face and is ever helpful. Love this place. read more

I think this review is mostly for any women thinking of going to see him for a therapeutic massage…read more I am in so much pain today after my session from yesterday. I believe that Eugene is probably very helpful for some (mostly male) clients. I'm stunned today by how much worse I feel and how I keep blaming myself for allowing him to handle my body the way he did. When I protested he actually said "this is your fault" and that I just needed to relax. I don't think he means to be harmful but I find it alarming that he is treating first time female clients this way. I'm left ruminating about all the moments I knew it was hurting me but told myself I was wrong. Many times it was actually Eugene telling me I was wrong. I'd hoped somehow I would feel better today and it would've been worth it. Yikes. A real reminder to always trust my body.

I went to Eugene for a shoulder injury. He was working on my injured shoulder and it was so painful…read moreI began to cry. I never cried SO hard from pain. I was bawling out. I told him to stop and it was too much. I told him he was torturing me and he said he knew he was torturing me but it was necessary. I cried multiple times and said it hurt and told him it felt like something was going to tear. He said, "ha, you know how much it strength it would take to tear?" as if to dismiss my pain and what I was feeling. I felt helpless. He was not listening to me. I was struggling to get my arm back into a less painful position and he held it down, not permitting me to move and kept saying, no no no it's ok....relax. He justified the pain and said I needed it. I can actually take a lot of pain. I've had several bodyworkers tell me I can handle a lot, and that I can handle pressure that makes grown men cry... But this man working on my injured shoulder was something else. I never experienced torture before. This was the closest feeling to torture that I have ever been through. When he worked on my neck it freaked me out because he would be working on my arm then quite suddenly wring his hands around my neck, putting intense pressure on it. It was almost as if he was getting a kick out of startling me and making me feel like he was going to choke me. There is NO reason to so abruptly wring your hands around someone's neck like that. This is not normal people. He is not normal. As noted by the previous reviewer, Molly, he kept telling me I was a strong, independent woman. In addition, he told me I was a disgrace regarding certain topics he wanted to discuss, topics completely irrelevant to body work. 60-something reviews is not a lot and can't be trusted. Hopefully, more people will leave their honest review if it was similar to my experience.
