Personal training, yoga, nutrition, 2-a-days and 3-a-days has gotten my body to where it is today from where it was last October, but the biggest change from my fitness outbursts in the past is the mental game. I love to lift others up, be there for them and make them smile. It's who I've always been but I've never given myself the same love back. The 12 helped take my fitness to the next level and that meant overcoming the mental blocks within me. Tips on form, pushing you to go past your limits, tips and help with nutrition can be given to you from any venue. The 12 isn't just about changing what is on the outside but what is within. Going through hard times? Constantly putting yourself down? Still making excuses? Talk to the trainers, Josh, Nikki, Derek and your 12 family! Until you're ready to break down the interior walls, the next level in your fitness and nutrition will just be you giving more strength to your facade rather than your true self. Loving yourself should always be first and The 12 Nation has been the best support group to remind me of that each and every day. read more

The 12 is a great workout place! Love the group classes, the energy, the music, & the people! The trainers are awesome & motivating!

If you're looking for a great fitness experience, look no further than the 12. I was referred by a friend and after taking my first class, I was hooked! I dare you to try and not have the same feeling. I've tried almost every gym/bootcamp in the area and I can honestly say this is the most effective and motivating place to workout. There are SO many options of class times, too. There is always a class that works with your schedule. All the trainers I've met are amazing! Sarah had me hooked after my first class; Ryan has great, contagious energy; Matt is hilarious and dedicated to pushing you towards your personal best; Tricia's classes are hard, fun and always come with the best hip hop beats; Orah is awesome and I love training with her, especially her booty class. All the trainers are focused on helping you on a personal level, even in classes with 30 people. I love the focus on positivity and comradery. It's not something you always find in a gym environment, especially in Orange County! I love the 12!!!! :) read more

If you are looking for a gym that is going to push you to get in the best shape you can, look no further than The 12! The 12 offers 60 minute targeted Afterburn classes, nutrition coaching, amazing trainer and great music. Afterburn refers to the fact that you continue to burn calories long after the workout is through. Each day of the week is built around a different muscle group. No two workouts are ever the same, which adds another level of excitement to each day! The only thing you know for certain when you walk into the group training room is that you are going to leave drenched in sweat from a killer workout. The class begins with one of the elite master trainers walking the group step-by-step through each exercise and demonstrating the proper form for each, all while answering any questions along the way. The trainer and music keep the party going and will keep you motivated throughout the entire class and push you to burn out those extra reps that you did not think you could give. The sense of community and inclusion at The 12 is what keeps me going back day after day. Each trainer will take the time to greet you as you walk in and congratulate you on your way out for smashing your workout. They take pride in what they do, which is infectious for everyone in class. You are going to lift heavy, you are going to work hard, you are going to get in the best shape of your life and you are going to love it!! First three classes in a week are free, what are you waiting for?! See you at The 12! read more

I am not a huge fan of gyms. My thought is go outside and exercise. I love coming to The 12. I have been coming for a year and can see a difference. The workouts are always fun and challenging. While you do repeat some of the movements I am always amazed at how many different exercises they have for the same body part. All the instructors are good. My preference is to go in the morning. If you can get Sarge aka Matt, you will have a solid workout with no excuses or whining. Think Drill Sargent making sure your workout is maximum effort. Sydney is new, having taken over Jessica's spot. Both Sydney and Jessica have a lot of enthusiasm. Sydney spends the time making sure you have the exercise down. There is a great sense of community at the gym. I always leave feeling I have had a great workout. If you are considering a gym I would recommend The 12. read more

I've been a member of the 12 for several years now. The workouts are challenging and fun, the community is awesome, and the trainers are legit. Highly recommend! read more

I signed up for a one month trial and two days into my month I tore my intercostal muscles. I called and asked to have a medical hold put on my account and was willing to bring them in my doctors note indicating that I was to refrain from exercising my upperbody for three months. I was told they could only hold my membership for one month. Since I wasn't going to go against my doctors orders I just let the account lapse. It's a nice place to work out but when people injure themselves and have doctors notices to back that up, a 1 month hold is not sufficient. They should work more with their members. read more

One thing I love about the 12 is how it keeps me accountable! We all know how going through the motions day after day can get boring and repetitive. At the 12 I've never experienced that, the workouts are always cutting edge, new and innovative. The staff is always friendly and it makes me want to work out and better myself everyday. Hard to find that in a gym, the 12 really is the best gym in Orange County! read more

The 12 is a great place to reach your fitness goals. The group training is a fun atmosphere to workout in. I never do the same workout twice. The trainers are all personable and encouraging wherever you are at on your fitness journey. The equipment is in great condition and the classes are dynamic. read more

Love the enthusiasm, knowledge and care the instructors at The12 have. Every day the workout/classes are different, challenging and invigorating. A 60 minute total workout daily whether you are 18 or 78 and so totally doable!! read more

Absolutely love everything about the 12. I've taken classes with all of the trainers here, and each brings a fun, unique experience that makes class super enjoyable.

The 12 - Thank you 12 I needed some motivation! - Trainers Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I've been going to the 12 for just over a year and it was exactly what I needed to get into shape. I go to the group classes as I'm not nearly motivated enough to do it on my own. The classes have a wide range of people at all levels and all the trainers encourage you to modify the workouts to fit your level while at the same time challenging you to give it your all for an hour. When I joined the 12, I had an ongoing quad injury for several years that I wasn't able to shake. I remember having to modify all the mountain climbers for the first week or two of going as my injury was so bad I couldn't do it. All of the strength training has pretty much cured any pain I once had which I never thought would be possible and I'm so relieved! read more

This gym is awesome! I love how each day targets a specific muscle group. The trainers there a energetic and helpful! This location also has a gym in addition to group training classes which is great to warm up in or to keep training after classes. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to friends and family. read more

Both locations of the 12 are amazing! I've never been one for intense workouts but the trainers and the design of the work out makes each session enjoyable. Every day is a new and unique workout that keeps it fresh. The community environment and trainers really inspire you to push your limits. I can honestly say it is the most motivated i've ever been. Another awesome thing about this gym is that they provide tools there to track your progress, including a bmi machine. This helps you stay goal oriented I highly recommend! read more

It's been said here over and over again but it deserves to be said again. This place is so much more than a gym or just another fitness class. The 12, specifically the trainers, do an outstanding job of crafting workouts that challenge people of all fitness levels. The classes are fast paced, ever changing and fun. If you want to try something new or just can't get motivated for another spin class give the 12 a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

This hands down is the best workout you're gonna get all week- month- year. I'm a beach body P90X and Insanity type of gal if that helps. I love the energy these group classes bring. The program is intense every time. I absolutely love going when Tricia and Matt aka 'The Sarge' are instructing. They are encouraging and energetic and not in an annoying way. This place also has fresh towels and ice cold water machines with a decent locker room. Can't tell you how sore yet amazing I feel afterwards. All in all, I love this style work out. They 'Bring It' every time!! read more

I liked the fact that my instructor actually came over and helped me improve my form during class. That's all too rare these days in group classes. Great class and studio vibes! read more

I have been coming to the 12 for about a year and a half now and it never gets old! The trainers are amazing, the equipment is great, and workouts are always fun.

Last but not least - awesome workout. Energetic, challenging and encouraging for all levels. read more

Being a seasoned athlete it's difficult to find a good Athletic training class that challenges all my needs. I found that at the 12! Best bootcamp army style training! read more

I have had the opportunity to take multiple group classes with Matt, Sarah and Lindi. I really enjoyed the constant variation of targeting different groups of muscles - always something new. I currently sprinkle those classes in with my other workout routines. I recently have started training with Alan and have been really impressed with his knowledge and ability to target my needs. I also want to commend another trainer, Andrew, who I initially contacted. When I told him my goals he informed me that while he could work with me, Alan would be a better fit. I really appreciated that he was genuinely concerned with finding me the best trainer for my individual goals. With my career as a collegiate basketball referee, I have specific needs, concerns, time frames and restrictions. Alan has worked with all of those and I am excited to continue with him and The 12. read more

Love the 12, if your looking for a nice clean gym. The 12 is for you all brand new machines!!!

I have to go to Newport for business and was introduced to this place. Have only been a few times but I HAPPILY get up at 5am to make it to the morning group fitness class and have Sarge kick me around for an hour. The hour is over quickly and you will be beat up - in a good way. Nothing like it close to where I live unfortunately. If there was - I would be there every morning. Cant wait to go back. read more

Best workout I've ever done! Highly recommend if you want a killer workout surrounded by amazing people. Wish they had one in LA!

Awesome sauce!! Nothing like it at all you must try and see for yourself!! I do other types of workouts too but this is it's on beast by itself!! read more

Awesome Tuesday (Cardio) and Wednesday (pull) workouts with Matt. You know it's good when you're sore the next day! read more

There is everything to like about the 12! Especially the led classes/boot camps, where every day is different. Core, Legs, Back, Chest..... and on and on! The classes are full of people that are not messing about, and the trainers are super energized! The boot camp circuits are full on and by the end of the session you are wiped out, but somehow it didn't feel like an hour.... not even close! read more
