But Irma has help change so much more than that. She is a no nonsense Coach who will get you to whatever goal you have! It's truly not about the money either, she genuinely cares about all of us. She has built the best gym community and I can't express how grateful I am to have found her. After a year of training with her we decided to take it to bodybuilding competition, she has pushed me out of my comfort zone and into my full potential!

And as a bonus she built these glutes by 3 inches! I'm no longer looking like a pop tart!

Kathy is incredible and GOD sent. My brother who is a trainer in San Diego found her on line and…read moretold me go talk to her, I think you are going to really like her. He was so right!I have been training since July. I had tried another gym and it wasn't for me I dreaded going. I have had trouble with my knees and hip and haven't worked out at all. I never will forget I cried my first week, I was so out of shape. Kathy helped me understand that it's all going to be ok. I am there working out and I am doing something to help me. I was doing good, I was working out and ya know she was right. I was there an HOUR, not a half hour like the other gym and not dying that my heart felt like it would jump out of my chest. Don't get me wrong I still work out hard, but Kathy helped my workouts because they were modified to help me last and not injure myself. I so looked forward to going to workout. I was gaining my strength and my endurance not to mention my confidence. I must say it's September and I can finally feel I AM STRONGER! I GOT THIS! Kathy has encouraged me to push myself and I have. We are our own worse enemy and pacifier. I DID IT with her help, knowledge and patience with me. I moved up in weights, I moved up to push myself further with her patient way and looks. I say looks because she looks at you, like she saying you got this you can do this. I trust her so much. I am thinking, "Ya know I am going to try this" knowing she is there watching you all the way and if you can't it's ok let's modify. I look so forward to my workouts and our emails, tips on eating, relaxing, working out on our off days and most important good nutrition. I know that Kathy is trained well and her knowledge is amazing. She knows what she is doing, explains everything to you and how not to to injure yourself. As Kathy reminded us in a email and loved it " Anyone who stops learning is old, whether twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing you can do is keep your mind young" I love our gym, I love the woman I have met and workout with I recommend anyone to try Kathy she is amazing! I am going to be 65 and feel 55 and younger. I finally feel amazing. I am in control again I GOT THIS! Oh, and my knees. I have built muscle to help me do more than I thought I ever could. I highly recommend Kathy and True Body Fitness!!!!

Pilates 7 was a big part in helping me with my body, mind and soul transformation. I have lost 60 pounds since then and keeping it off.

I have rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune conditions so I knew I had to be careful. All staff was always careful with making sure I was doing what was best for my body but yet pushing me to become better in the best way possible.

The trainers genuinely care about their clients and take the time to get to know you beyond just workouts and fitness goals. Crystal is the owner and i train with her, she challenges you to push yourself and become better, but not in a negative or intimidating way -- she encourages growth, confidence, consistency, and accountability both inside and outside the gym. She's created an environment where everyone celebrate your wins, help you through setbacks, and inspire you to become the best version of yourself overall.

I don't wanna drop the name of the organization that hooked me up with this CrossFit place because everyone might just start showing up! JP! It's called "the phoenix app" it's a recovery sober app and organization that hosts free events all week and weekend you can attend and it's free! Overall, we started and got right into the workouts! The last and hardest workout to do was the walk jog and run 4x back to back 1 min each time! That was tough on me. But overall very friendly people and nice setting!

Noticing a previous 1 star comment regarding safety concerns and racial remarks; I felt the need to…read morecomment myself. I used to be a regular at CrossFit Recoil for a number of years, and I can honestly say because of this, I was in the best shape of my life. But even better than that, I was able to develop lifelong friendships with many of the people that also attended. I no longer regularly go to Recoil any longer, but that's not due to anything the gym has done. Life and work with new demanding schedules, got busier and busier; and I'm not able to show up anymore than a pop in every few months or so. I do miss it. In regards to the previously mentioned safety concerns and racial comments....I've never had any issues with safety while at the gym. I've never seen any major issues with children or kids running under people while their lifting. If this individual had such great concerns over these alleged safety mishaps; why didn't he bring them to the attention of the owner/coach? Why did he continue to go? Hmmm. The fact that the coaches have children and bring them to the gym, is actually an endearing quality and brightens the days for most. A safety issue it is not. I've also known the coaches, who have been mainstays at this gym for years, for quite some time. I've NEVER heard anyone (or anyone else in the gym) utter anything like this previous poster had claimed. After reading it, it sounded more like a bitter individual with an axe to grind. More to the point...it sounds like straight up lies. All I can say, is that if choosing a gym, don't go based on what one unhappy person (who used to get high in the parking lot prior to workouts btw....sounds safe) posted. Show up and you'll see for yourself. There's a reason why the gym is growing and lots of the athletes have worked out there for years. The coaches are great, fun loving, good hearted, knowledgeable people. And the community aspect while at the gym is second to none. So swing by if you're thinking about switching gyms or trying CrossFit for the first time. You will not be disappointed.

I wanted to keep a good posture while working, but it was impossible because my muscles just didn't have enough strength (Thanks to Melissa for telling me this! ) When I started training with Melissa 3 months ago, my left shoulder was significantly lower than my right shoulder when I walk or stand, and my lower back hurt even when I lay on the bed. Melissa customized a lot of exercises just for my body and they are working great! I seldom feel neck or back pain after working for a whole day and I can even feel my abs when I walk! Amazing how her customized drills never hurt my fragile back. I used to train with trainers who just make you go and do more reps, but Melissa changed my view about personal training completely. She really understands my need and focus on my goal. I am grateful to have found Melissa on Yelp, she made my life so much healthier. If you are also looking to find someone who will help you with imbalance and pains, she is the best!!!!

I met her when I was about to give up on my body and decided to be fat and ugly for the rest of my life. In just two months, everyone around me told me that I looked so much better -- one-size down, better shape, better posture, and, more importantly, more self-confidence. Melissa is professional, competent, intelligent, creative, graceful, with a great sense of humor, fun to be with, and totally perceptive and attentive to your need and conditions. I can't tell you enough the great things about Melissa. Let me just list some of them here: 1. Melissa gives clear and precise instructions. She knows each and every muscle in the human body and how one feels. 2. Melissa is a Pandora box of workout forms. You'll NEVER get bored with her! 3. Melissa can train you face-to-face and on-line. I've been traveling around the world in the last 5 months. We continue our sessions uninterrupted on-line no matter which time zone I am in! 4. Melissa is de facto a professional ballerina. Each and every form she demonstrates is impeccable, graceful, and elegant. It's inspiring to witness a female body as a combination of strength and beauty. 5. Melissa provides a holistic workout plan including nutrition. It's a change of lifestyle! 6. Melissa is an awesome motivator. She adamantly pushes you further when you are ready and she cheers you up when you are down. She'll keep you going -- in a delightful and enjoyable way! There are a lot more great things about Melissa. My bottom line is: training with Melissa is one of the best decisions I've made in my life. If you are looking for a long-term change of lifestyle and self-perception, Melissa is the one for you. She is the best!

I did a free trial class and Rich was super helpful and a great instructor. He was very encouraging and the upbeat music got us all pumped. While I can't commit to the monthly subscription, I plan to drop in once in a while through ClassPass if my busy schedule permits. It's a little further from me, but I can take some time to work on my health once in a while. I love how you can just drop in whenever during business hours and start working out. It's very convenient! Also, definitely bring workout shoes. Pilates socks won't work on their padded surface. I noticed they have a little children's play area so in the future I can take my twin toddlers here while I squeeze in a 30 minute workout if I don't have anyone to help me watch them.
