    How I feel after an intense workout.
    Stephani R.

    I love the Motiv8Burn workouts at Motiv8performace. Each session is different and packed with challenging workouts that will get your heart rate up and your sweat on. Each workout I burn on average 550 calories. At 43, I never feel as if I'm trying to compete or keep up with the younger clients. I'm able to go at my own pace and modify any of the workouts if needed and I don't feel any pressure when I do. The trainers, Kristin and Jose (and on special days, John) will push you and encourage you to give it your all. All three really care and will take the time to help you. And I can't forget to mention the encouraging women and men I workout with. They make me want to show up each week and get moving.

    Boxing with Coach Johnny Griffith

    Still as good as it gets! Trainers constantly push you to new levels each time and never fail to come up with challenging but somehow fun workouts. They have added boxing classes! Coach Johnny G knows his stuff!

    6/15/19 - I turn 45 years young today. I'm in the best shape of my life thanks to Team MTV8!

    I'm over 50 and have gone to many fitness centers looking for the right trainers to keep my fitness level on spot as I age. This has been the best I have found in every way. The trainers, the classes, the motivation is stellar!! Drop in and give them a try! Kristen and Coach JWalk are the best you'll ever find! Their classes are always motivating,challenging and fun! They have the perfect combination of strength, cardiovascular and athletic training. I couldn't ask for better people and trainers to guide me to my ultimate fitness goals for life!! I know I'll get there with them at the helm! Just show up and trust the process! @kristennicole_fit @mrmotivationman

    The motiv8 performance center is a top notch facility with master trainers. John Walker and Kristin Nicole are five-star coaches, and if motivation is what you need they serve it up daily! Killer workouts, focused on increasing athletic performance, and conditioning! Great equipment, unique and challenging workouts, and a positive environment to boot! Absolutely the best in fitness in Southern California!!!! A+ all the way!

    I have been trying out new gyms for the last 6 months searching for someone who could help me with my individual goals. Then I found Kristen at Motiv8 performance center. She listens, cares and personalized her training and recommendations for me! I have been with Kristen for two months now and it has been AMAZING!! I highly recommend Kristen and her team to everyone who wants to feel and see results. I am a busy mother, grandmother and business owner who is always strapped for time. She is WORTH the 20 minute drive I make each day to attend her training sessions. Come check out Kristen! She will change your life.

    In essence, Motiv8 is probably the best equipped gym in South Orange County for any powerlifters training needs.

    Update: I never said the email offer says "any membership". I stated the email did not specify and…read moreneither did the manager over the phone which is why I was disappointed in the communication. Gym's response alludes to the manager informing me about the 50% off disclaimer over the phone. She did tell me the offer wont apply online because I did the trial class but she did not inform me it only applies to the unlimited class. Both the email and over the phone communication had no mention of what membership offer applies to. After my initial trial class, I was interested in signing up for membership. I received an email with a 50% off your first month offer with zero disclaimers or details such as what type of membership offer applies to. When I clicked the link, offer didnt work so I called the gym. Person over the phone said they can apply the offer in person. When I went to class, front desk told me offer only applies to the unlimited membership. I informed her the email and the person I spoke to didnt tell me that. She asked if I would like to join the class while she checks with the manager. After class she confirmed it only applies to unlimited membership. I told her if the email or person over the phone told me then I would have planned this better bc I will be out of town for the next 2 weeks. Ultimately I did not sign up. The lack of clear communication made me concerned about how future situations might be handled and ended up having to pay for the single class price.

    I've had an outstanding and truly life-changing experience with this fitness program. Within just…read morethree months, I lost approximately 17 pounds of body fat while also building muscle, which significantly improved my overall body shape. This transformation did not happen by chance--it required strong commitment and consistency. I wake up at 5:00 AM every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start my workout at 6:00 AM for a full hour. The structured program, supportive environment, and disciplined routine have been essential in keeping me on track. One of the standout features of this place is their use of advanced tools and professional equipment to monitor progress. They track body composition, fat loss, and muscle gain with great precision, making the entire process clear, measurable, and highly motivating. In addition, the team provided me with a professionally designed and well-structured diet plan tailored specifically to my goals. The nutrition program is practical, healthy, and extremely effective in delivering real, lasting results. One of the most noticeable signs of my progress was having to replace many of my clothes because they became too loose--clear evidence of the transformation I've achieved. Mehdi and his wife run this business with exceptional professionalism. It truly feels like a well-managed family business, which I deeply respect and always prefer to support. Occasionally, their son joins the workouts, adding a warm, personal touch and positive energy to the environment. If you're looking to lose weight naturally and in a healthy way--without shortcuts or injections--this is the right place. With your commitment, combined with their structured program and strong team support, achieving your goals is absolutely possible. Highly recommended. I had a great and really different experience with this fitness suite. In just three months, I was able to lose about 17 pounds of body fat and build muscle at the same time. As a result, my body shape changed dramatically and improved. This success was completely dependent on commitment and discipline. I wake up at 5 am every day, drive about 25 minutes, and start training for an hour at 6 am. The regular schedule, supportive environment, and positive energy of this complex played a very important role in keeping me motivated and continuing on the path. One of the main strengths of this complex is the use of advanced tools and equipment to accurately check and analyze the state of the body. They professionally track your fat, muscle, and progress, which makes the path completely transparent and measurable. In addition, the team of this complex designed a very professional and targeted nutrition plan for me that was perfectly tailored to my goals. It was healthy, feasible, and very effective, and played a significant role in achieving results. One of the interesting results of this path was that I had to change a lot of my clothes because they no longer fit me--which is a real and tangible change. Mehdi and his wife manage this complex with a very high level of professionalism. This is a true family business, run with commitment, precision, and responsibility. Sometimes their son even comes to the training sessions, which creates an even more intimate atmosphere and positive energy. If you are looking to lose weight naturally, healthily, and without using shortcuts like injections, this is one of the best choices. Of course, personal commitment is very important, but with a careful plan, a professional team, and the support of this complex, achieving results is completely possible. I highly recommend it.

Recently we came off the season of strength for 8 weeks and Coach Jonnie and Coach Devin were extremely helpful in making sure I challenged myself, had correct form and had so much fun training!

It's impossible to be upset when you're around her. Coach Emily is so darn sweet and I'm so happy when I get to take her class because it's not often enough. Coach Laura is the OG! I adore her! Every coach is so badass and awesome. The front desk is fantastic too. It's truly the best orange theory and gym out here! I'm obsessed.

    Please be careful this place…read more Their billing system is horrible. First they told my insurance covers my treatment and I confirmed several times about it. after couple of weeks later all of sudden, all of treatment I did need to get paid and I needed to pay surprise bill of almost 1k. They claimed insurance company changed report but they can not provide evidence because they changed billing system. I contacted insurance company and insurance company told they never changed report. I am 100% sure it's this place faults. They blame insurance company for this and now I need to take responsibility for their fault. Now they are sending to collectors to screw up my credit reports. This is one of worst experience in my life. Please avoid this place if you don't want to handle similar situation. Also, whatever reason if I call them 10 times they only pick up my call 1 time. So hard to book appointment or communicate. ----------------------- To respond to business owner, Please educate your staff about this. As I mentioned the staff told me that I don't need to pay anything as insurance fully covered.. He confirmed me several visits. Then after 5 weeks or so.. You guys told I owe about 1k and I can't do any treatment today until I pay them all. What a surprise! I tried to talk with staff that gave me wrong information and he was already left company and learned that you guys changed billing system to in house. It's all messed up. I will pay the bills as I don't want to screw up my credit reports. But this is really unfair and unprofessional. I need to take responsibility for your faults? Why didn't you tell me correct information or even tell me to contact insurance to check instead you confirmed me I don't need to pay anything? You guys even didn't say sorry to me until now. Although you guys told you understand my feelings and situation. Also, you guys kept telling me that insurance changed report that's why I didn't owe any money first but then now I owe 1k. This doesn't make sense at all.
