    Great equipment with great coaches. Never have to wait on a rack. The coaches tell you exactly what to do and the community of athletes is fun to be around l.

    Brayden and the team of trainers/ coaches are the finest group of people you will ever meet! They tough me so much about strength and training. Let's go

    Pulling 315 for 3 reps thanks to Grant's encouragement!
    Brogan B.

    I have been barbell training on my own for about 2 years, but have recently been looking for a certified 'Starting Strength' coach to help take my fitness to the next level. I found The Strength Co on youtube, and really liked their training philosophy as well as their community-focused mentality. I first contacted them through the chat feature on their website (https://www.thestrength.co/), and was pleasantly surprised with how quickly they responded to my inquiry. Grant Broggi, the founder/owner of The Strength Co, suggested I get started by taking their 'Intro to Barbell Training' class to check my form and help them determine the optimal training program to be specially designed for me. A few days later, I took the class and was instantly hooked. The whole experience was top-notch... - The facility is incredibly clean and well organized - The equipment is all top-of-the-line - The coaches and clients are all very friendly and helpful - And the training session itself was challenging yet rewarding. I look forward to continuing to train with the team at The Strength Co, and am confident that, with their guidance and encouragement, I will be able to reach my fullest strength potential.

    My excitement after successfully doing my final deadlift at the gym's 2022 Turkey Pull.
    Gail E.

    If Grant & Breyden had told me that after only 9 months of working with The Strength Co I would be able to go from not knowing how to do a deadlift to comfortably pulling 210 lbs I would not have believed them. I am 65 years old and have never considered myself athletic. The program works. And the support I have gotten has been terrific. Last week they sponsored a very fun "Turkey Pull" where folks challenged themselves doing 3 rounds of deadlifts. I wonder if next year we will do "Turkey Squats". If you live in Orange County & you want to Powerlift, this is the gym for you.

    Wednesday morning 9am training session.

    Worst gym experience I've had…read more I considered joining this gym and spent a few days researching it before signing up. I spoke with several current and former members and also reviewed the Yelp and Google reviews. Unfortunately, the feedback was overwhelmingly negative. One concern I heard repeatedly was that members were asked to provide their bank account and routing numbers, and some reported being charged fees that they said were never clearly disclosed. When questions were asked about those charges, there seemed to be little explanation available. I also had concerns about the staff's ability to answer basic questions. When I asked for the corporate phone number, I was told they didn't know it, yet I was able to find it with a quick Google search. I also asked who had opened my account and was told the system didn't provide that information. Overall, I found the experience frustrating due to the lack of clear answers and transparency. The gym atmosphere also wasn't a good fit for me personally. It felt more like a social scene than a place focused on fitness, and that simply isn't the environment I'm looking for. Based on my experience and research, I decided not to move forward with a membership.

If you are looking for a kind, motivating,…read moreand incredibly effective 1-on-1 personal trainer at Self Made Training Gym, she is truly the best. Irene is super sweet, patient, and encouraging, but she also knows exactly how to gently push you past your comfort zone in a way that feels supportive, not overwhelming. Every session is tailored to me personally, and I always leave feeling stronger, more capable, and more confident than when I walked in. What really sets Irene apart is that she's not just focused on workouts, she's focused on your progress, your confidence, and your long-term results. She explains everything clearly, pays close attention to form, and adjusts exercises so they feel challenging but doable. Because of her, I've already noticed real improvements in my strength, energy, and overall fitness, and I actually look forward to my workouts now. Especially because all the other people and trainers there are also so welcoming and encouraging, too. A little fist bump or "you're killing it" during your session helps get you to push a little more. If you're someone who feels intimidated by the gym or unsure where to start, Irene is the perfect personal trainer for beginners and for anyone wanting to build strength, confidence, and consistency. Training at Self Made Training Gym with her has been an amazing experience, and I'm so grateful I found her. If you're searching for a personal trainer who is supportive, motivating, knowledgeable, and truly cares about your progress, book a session with Irene. You won't regret it.

We've been working together for a while now and I look forward to my sessions with Irene because I know I will get a great workout. She helps me stay focused when I want to stay focused as a trainer, but she's also a great friend. 10/10 recommend self made, but 20/10 recommend Irene.

I've been trying out a few different lagree studios in search of a lagree home lol and this was one of my favorites! Marisa was a great, attentive, hands on and a thorough instructor with clear direction. No one goes unseen and gives modifications/ alternatives to each position to either challenge yourself more or make it a tad easier. Perfect for beginner and advanced! Studio is clean with dim to dark neon lighting. I had bright yellow socks but appeared pure true white in the studio. Not too harsh where it interfered with the workout. If anything it helps, it feels less sensory overwhelming. Cubbies are inside and in view of, which is great since the instructor also runs the front desk. Some studios have the cubbies outside next to the door unsupervised where anyone can walk in and grab items without anyone knowing. Mirrors are on one side only but still visible from the back. They have a filtered water machine to refill your bottle as well. There are drinks and socks available for purchase. Not to mention it's located in the most convenient plaza with a smoothie shop, a target, poke Hawaiian restaurant, organic foods restaurant, ramen, cafe rio etc. Lots of healthy options to choose from after a good workout!

They have all the equipment you could need to work every part of the body. The trainers genuinely care and personalize the program to your needs. Plenty of parking. Lockers are available with a code. It's a get-in, workout, get-out gym. There are no people, just hugging machines or standing around. Everyone is usually doing something, and so it motivates me to keep working out. It's never so busy that it gets uncomfortable. I have seen people of all ages, body types, and abilities here. It is a good mix of healthy people. Cons: No showers yet (they are expanding to include showers and a sauna soon) Only two restrooms. (I have never had to wait to use one, but you never know). Overall, this gym is pretty well organized. They offer plenty of trainers of all genders. I believe they also do rehab and physical therapy. There also is someone that comes to do massages. Everyone I have seen here is pretty friendly and polite. I have been training with Laura, and in the past three weeks, she took me from 0 pull-ups to 20 chin-ups, 1:20 plank to 3:30, and 15 push-ups to 42 in 2mins, and my strength overall has increased. I totally recommend you check it out.
