I actually never thought in a million years I would see him in person at my gym, but there he was . He saw me using the app and came over and said hi. He told me he still trained at a gym under Sunset Towers and Sunset and offered a free couple sessions to help keep figure out my workout plan and path. I've been training with him for two years now and it's sometimes the singular thing I really can look forward To in a hard week . His app and his workouts are the best . I'm the leanest and strongest I've ever been and he has crafted me into my personal feminine ideal. I have my booty and my curves BUT not the unneeded body fat lol. Every session is different and we target different muscles and different ways to pinpoint them . He is very specific and detailed in my legs especially and knows every exercise in the world seemingly at this point . We laugh a lot and talk about just about anything - that helps me to be distracted through a lot of the strenuous stuff . It's like I've figured out my life and body at the same time haha Adam as many know requires accountability . On days we don't train I usually have assignments to do on my own . He either checks them on the app or in person by asking me for a text update . He also checks on my diet and nutrition weekly and at the start daily . He pretty much is just a huge needed part of your life

I've trained with Adam for about seven years now and his app SHRED for two and a half lol. Not only…read morehas Adam changed my body he has changed my life . He has instilled a level of confidence, discipline and pride that I never had before and it bleeds into everything I do, relationships and especially my business. In the first two years I lost 20 pounds and had my body fat percent down to a consistent 13-14 on a hydrostatic from a high of 26 percent . The best part is I worked my ass off to get there BUT I maintained it for the next five years as almost an afterthought. Adam instilled the habits and kept on me to keep pushing through adversity and change in my personal life. He does my nutrition , programming and uses the app to make sure I do basically the same workouts we do, but on my own. Adam also is known for checking in ..... A LOT! Almost every day I hear from him . Maybe that's because we are basically family now, but he just cares so much and wants you to be your best you. It's cool, it's cool to have one person champion you so hard . I am so grateful to have found Adam , what seems like a lifetime ago

You can feel right away that it's a gym where everyone is welcomed. All body types. All ages. No egos. What continues to surprise me is the knowledge that the trainers have. Nick has an educated response to all of my random questions, and continues to motivate and encourage me on my journey. It's a great feeling knowing what the exercises are doing for you and how to do them correctly. I look forward to every visit to Virtuo and seeing more and more results!

Honestly I'm not a gym person! I've always loved working out, but preferred to do it at home…read morebecause the gyms I've joined in the past seemed overly focused on weight loss, appearance, and really were just icky places where I never enjoyed spending my time! Last year while recovering from a back injury, I decided to book a few sessions with a personal trainer to help me get back into exercising safely. A friend recommended Virtuo, and I was happy to find out it was a smaller gym. It immediately felt welcoming and friendly. I worked out with Keith and enjoyed it so much that my "few sessions" turned into 8 months of training with him. Keith was knowledgeable, supportive, and always encouraging. He helped me rebuild my strength and confidence while always being mindful of my back. He was also genuinely fun to talk to, which made every workout way more enjoyable! One thing I especially appreciated was that the staff never assumed my goal was to lose weight or change my appearance. The focus was always on getting stronger and healthier. Even my nutrition calls with Sarita focused on building sustainable habits and eating for energy rather than calorie restriction or chasing some number on the scale. If your goals do include fat loss or looking amazing, they can absolutely help with that (they are all in incredible shape themselves!) but they will never make you feel pressured into something that doesn't align with your goals. You'd expect a room full of fit trainers to be intimidating, but somehow here it's the opposite. I never once walked into Virtuo feeling intimidated or walked out feeling self-conscious. The owner Brandon and his entire staff are some of the kindest people I've met in LA. There's a real sense of community, everyone cheering each other on, genuinely good vibes, and lots of laughs. The only reason I'm leaving is because I'm moving out of the neighborhood, and I'm so sad to go. I can't recommend Virtuo enough!

A little inspiration never hurts, right? I was a long time runner who found myself completely disheartened after multiple hip surgeries and other orthopedic issues. After graduating from PT, I had a hard time finding my way back to exercise with the right method. I felt lost about how to workout without fear or pain and was looking for a solution but, really - I guess I was looking for Thaddeus. He treated my process like an exciting project that we shared which made the whole experience feel like an adventure! As patient and encouraging as he is, he doesn't cut much slack! Before I knew it, my workouts felt like a second job. I often referred to him as an exercise dictator and tried to threaten him with my pointy shoe collection, but he insisted that barefoot shoes were best for my issues. No matter how much I put up a fight, I knew he really believed in me and that was everything. Thad was really invested in my injury recovery and genuinely cared about seeing me doing what I love again without pain. He also helped me discover new types of exciting workouts, which took the pressure off of being a runner again right away. He always goes above and beyond and even spent time experimenting with some of the new techniques with me, which made me feel less alone on the journey. Thanks to him, I was able to finish a 10mile race strong; the first one since my hip surgeries 4 years ago. I am much stronger and in less pain. I have been able to connect with my body with incredible intention & discover a renewed sense of vitality that I had missed. He is a truly unique and talented person (and the eye candy certainly doesn't hurt!) and I feel so lucky that I was able to train with him. He really showed me that the sky is the limit when it comes to health & fitness. You would be in the best hands working with Thad, he'll help you change your life if you let him.

TRAINING WITH THADDEUS, 12 WEEKS TO TRANSFORMATION…read more At age 60, I believe--conveniently--- in the continual process of regeneration. This somehow worked to my favor recently as I emerged from a decade-long Dark Age, a seemingly endless period of inactivity and exhaustion brought on by thyroid autoimmune disease, Epstein Barr Virus, anemia, and arthritis. A total knee replacement three years prior did not result in pain-free walking. At too young an age I found myself wondering if I would ever feel good, energetic, and nimble again. This illness debilitated me, ended my very successful career, and limited my social activities including all thoughts of sex. I felt sad and over time grudgingly adapted to bad health by finding slower, smaller, quieter ways to find joy. Early in my physical breakdown, it occurred to me that I could heal myself with a correct diet, and I hired a brilliant private chef/nutritionist/teacher: I subsequently spent years developing a personal diet and supplementation plan that stabilized me. Then a surprising 2021 end-of-year blood panel showed relatively normal results (!) and inspired me to imagine and shoot for.... regeneration! In February 2022 I began a process to test and extend my physical limits: I decided to dust-off my weights, gather all my equipment, find a trainer and begin to get strong again. I found Thaddeus via an online search for nearby private trainers. Thaddeus was based at a gym a mere three blocks from my apartment, earned strong, positive reviews, and at my request, agreed to give an intro session at my home. Smiling face, handsome guy at the door. It was an excellent first session based on his assessment of my (lack of) fitness. He asked good questions, gave good explanations, patiently identified the muscle groups in focus, encouraged bravery and focus especially for those final reps, and was respectful. It was clear he was also well- studied in musculature. I liked his intelligence. Without hesitation I purchased a 20 session package and began training a week later. That first week was the only "one-session week" with Thaddeus: My unexercised body clearly needed the discipline of a structured session twice a week, and it responded quickly. Thad gave me homework and expected me to confirm nightly that the structural work was complete. Within the first 6 weeks, I became stronger, more agile, my knee pain was mostly gone and my glorious endorphins had kicked in. My "chi" roared back into high energy. After many sessions, I would imagine that bolts of energy were shooting out from my fingers. I felt restored very quickly, and without injury. I went through a physical and mental transformation within weeks that was palpable to me and confirmed by others. I am still transmitting my new energy to my world: Friends say they feel a new positive power emanating from me. The pounds dropped off---14 pounds in 12 weeks. I know that there is no way I could have achieved this alone. I had the right trainer at the right time. Thank you Thaddeus. I think it's important to express my gratitude to this person who gave me life-changing help, and to the universe which illuminated a potentially strong partnership for me. Thad is a great teacher and trainer, and I'm a good student. I feel lucky, and intend to train with him for a long time.

You can truly feel that they work hard to create a safe, joyful environment for the kids, and as a parent that means everything. The activities are fantastic: well planned, age appropriate, engaging, and fun. The natural setting is also beautiful and feels especially important these days. My boys came home with confidence, stories, friendships, and summer memories they will cherish forever. And the camp spirit is real. We still sing the silly songs at home, especially the announcements song whenever we have a family announcement, and the birthday song too. I cannot recommend Cali Camp enough.

But even when told all the lanes were fully reserved, more than half weren't in use. Parking is a bit of a hassle; for non-members it's definitely not worth it. At the time of visit, the parking machine wasn't working. There are also sperate elevators for parking vs the athletic club / hotel area which was a little confusing.
