    This is my friend that inspired me to transform!
    Brenda M.

    Okay so today I completed my 6 weeks and lost 21 pounds. And I'm not stopping there. Thank you Danny for all of your knowledge and motivation. Seriously try this place for yourself. Don't let peoples anger or negativity stray you from a life changing experience. And the women you meet...Omg motivating and inspiring! Best decision I ever made! I recently started at South Bay transformation center after seeing my friend Letty's results. The owner Danny Aguirre is inspirational. If you are serious about weight loss and transforming your body look no further. This is no gym no membership. It's a private facility that is looking for serious people. I joined for a 6 week body transformation. So it's a six week program on with Danny gives you a "clean" meal plan and 6 week 5 day work out. I choose to go at 5am and it's totally worth it. In one week I've lost 5 pounds and two percent body fat. I'm so excited to see what I've accomplished in 5 more weeks. Danny gives great instruction and all workout techniques and the reason for that specific work out. He pushes you to the point where you surprise yourself! I have never done anything like this before but I'm so motivated to change my life and I found someone who's willing to put in the time with me. He's calls us all family and that's exactly what it feels like. All of us girl push and inspire each other. So I will check in in five weeks and give you my final review.

    20 lbs in 6 weeks done....you can do it too...

    I know I will get harassed but Patricia's review is truthful. The program is exactly like she explained it to the T.

    The gym is clean, has a good amount of equipment to work out your whole body. The boxing classes…read moreare great. They offer in boxing two days a week. I recommend trying to gym out if you're in the area.

    Should be a 4-5 star rating. If you decide to sign up; you can take this review and be cautious of…read moresign up at Anytime Fitness for same cost and newer/updated equipment. The Great: Showers/restrooms- amazingly clean! The main reason I signed up here. I commute a distance to go to work and travel at times, this gym is nearby by and cleaner than any 24hr/LA Fitness. Decided to pay more here for the cleanliness and because there's only 4 people in the morning working out. The Ugly: Family owned gym, so whatever experience you encounter. You will receive a very dismissive and condescending response. Especially from older gentleman. I happened to move a rower that's downstairs, 10 feet over... sorry 15ft over in front of the other broken tower to conduct a super set/circuit. During a set, the female owner just comes over and moves it back without having a conversation beforehand. There's no moving equipment, she said after I told her I was using it. Maybe I'm just a diva; but having a conversation with your members (especially a family gym goes a long way). Another Ugly: (Scam) At least big box gyms let you cancel if you move away 25 miles or more from a location of theirs. Their contract will have you pay out in full. Or continue your monthly payments until it ends. For the cost; it's better to join a Anytime Fitness if you're near one or avoid their 12 month contract.

    I was referred to Benji by a friend for a nutrition consultation. I was so impressed with his…read moreknowledge, delivery, and confidence in how he could help me that I committed to train and do a nutrition plan with him. He was on my A** the whole time in a way that was annoying, challenging, and necessary. I trained with him from March-June 2017 and saw great results. I lost about 10% body fat, went down several sizes and lost about 17 pounds. Benji stresses regularly it is not what the scale says how you look and how you feel so while my numbers went down, I was more happy honestly with what I looked like and how I felt. And to tell the truth, I could have worked harder and been more disciplined with my eating (mostly drinking, lol). He would say, "you look like this now, imagine if you really do what I say!". Lol. If you can be committed to what he say and are willing to work hard in your workouts you WILL see great results. The training atmosphere is fun and while the jokes can be a little crude, it is all in good fun. Side note*** Take before pics! If you are like me, you might not have even realized how big or bad you go until you start to see improvements! I am still on my way but I am further from where I started amen!?! Happy Fitness all! Best and Blessings Ang

    I just finished 4 weeks/8 sessions with Dan and I am extremely satisfied with my training!…read more Dan is a professional through and through. He tailored my workouts and listened to me. I read someone here say, he's in his office most of time. I say there is some truth to that but I am glad that he doesn't micromanages me! He is still watching through his computer what is happening on the floor. He saw me struggling finding a balance once and he came right out to correct my posture. He is watching at all times and I appreciate that. I also love the encouragement that the gives me. His statement, "you are not here to try, you are here to work" lives rent-free in my head. I push myself harder because I know he believes I can do it. The fee can be a little steep for others but you get what you pay for . I treat it as an investment I am making for myself. I now sleep better, have more energy and feels stronger physically. Lastly, there are quite a few people I've met who have been at this gym for over 3 years. What does that tell you? Hop on!

    After completing my initial month of training, my primary takeaway is that the owner, Dan,…read moredemonstrates a clear lack of engagement and coaching passion. My friend and I terminated our membership after the first month because the coaching model did not match what was advertised. Dan claims to offer 1:1 personal training or small group sessions, but this was far from the reality. Typically, you have to approach his office door and ask what the workout is for the day. If you ask, he might briefly explain the movements; if you don't ask, he won't proactively offer guidance. Throughout the session, the owner remains seated in his office, observing via monitors. He rarely corrects form or offers instruction because he is not actively supervising the floor. On rare, lucky occasions, he might come out, say a few words, and give you a perfunctory high-five when you finish. I also experienced unprofessional practices regarding both pricing and communication. The day following my inquiry, the advertised 2025 price structure (which was $395 for two sessions per week/per month) was removed from the website, and I was subsequently presented with a new, higher rate. Furthermore, his follow-up email used highly deceptive sales language: "Here is what we have available with ongoing special including $50 OFF every package and it is month to month, no contract required nor any other hidden fees (Nutrition guide is also included in the package.)" 2 x per week = 8 sessions in one month, One month package is $395 The issue is that when I sought clarification, Dan stated that the $395 price we were charged was already the rate after the $50 discount was applied. This setup is highly misleading, as the email aggressively advertises a $50 ongoing special off the package, suggesting a lower final price. If you are looking for the dedicated, hands-on Personal Training (1-on-1 or semi-private classes) as described on the website, please consider other options.
