I've been going to Workout Revolution in Sherman Oaks for about two months now, and it's been a game changer. As someone dealing with a shoulder injury and chronic pain, I was hesitant to get back into strength training--but this place has made it not only possible, but enjoyable. The workouts are challenging yet adaptable, and I feel myself getting stronger without aggravating old injuries. A special shoutout to Mariel, who is an incredible trainer--knowledgeable, encouraging, and always attentive to proper form and modifications. Highly recommend for anyone looking to rebuild strength safely and effectively! read more

I've always struggled with finding the right settings when doing weight machine exercises on my own. Sessions here are one on one, and always tailored to your physical needs & capabilities. The trainers are very attentive to detail and make sure you have correct form when performing exercises. It's true, you really can get a good workout in 25 minutes. Mariel pushed me during every session, challenging me to a point of physical strength I didn't know I had in me. She was also always very encouraging. I leave every session feeling so accomplished, proud of myself, and looking forward to my next session here. 100% recommend! read more

This is the first workout I've ever done that I actually LOOK FORWARD TO! In a half hour you get a total body workout! It is always challenging and hard, in such a good way. All the trainers are so wonderful. I cannot recommend this place enough!! read more

Diana and her team of trainers are the best at what they do! Everyone is kind and welcoming and easy to talk to. They encourage you to do your best without making you feel bad about yourself. The machines aren't difficult to work, but it will make you feel like you've pushed yourself, in a good way! The exercises may be "slow" but the 30 minutes goes by quickly, because they keep changing up which machines you work on. I'm someone who never enjoyed working out, and this is the only thing that kept be coming back! read more

This was such an awesome and fulfilling experience! I have chronic pain and long Covid and have been struggling to find a place that can accommodate me. I also have a very hard time at gyms and can get easily overwhelmed and anxious. Sara Camp was my amazing trainer. She listened to my issues and was always constantly checking in. The exercises were perfect and not too intrusive or uncomfy. The facility is clean and quiet and I don't need to go everyday to feel accomplished! It's a great investment, especially for anyone who is anxious in gym settings or experiences chronic pain. Thank you again Sara and the Workout Rev team!! read more

I originally chose The Workout Revolution because of Covid. It had been 2 years since I felt safe going to a gym; private 1:1 gym session was priority for me. I'm so glad this led me to Diana! I've been working out with her for almost a year now. She is a kind, supportive trainer and I always enjoy her company. The slow movement took a little getting used to but the results have been amazing for me! With no strain on my joints, all of my muscle tone (and more!) has returned. I was on the brink of total replacement knee surgery, and these workouts have almost completely eliminated all of my knee pain by strengthening all the supportive muscles. Diana recently added a second trainer Lorena, who I enjoy so much that I'm now splitting my time and seeing both. Lorena has fun, joyful energy and pushes me to go harder, which I really appreciate. I feel like she shares in my goal to build muscles. Both Lorena and Diana are wonderful trainers. Highly recommend! read more

I have never been consistent with workouts until now. I have been going to Workout Revolution for one and half years. They couldn't make it easier, 20-25 min workouts 1-2 times a week. I'm 63 years old and for the very first time in my life, I have definition and muscles. Staff is so nice, they always run right on time and it's so clean. read more

You wouldn't think in 25 minutes you can get such a good workout but trust me, you can! They chart and time each workout and increase the weights so you make progress. I've noticed my body tone up and this has motivated me to eat better, lose weight and feel so much better about myself. I love my workouts. read more

I don't know how best to describe this workout, but it's amazing! It's something you have to experience to understand how thorough of a workout you can get in 25 minutes. It seems impossible, especially for those of us who have spent so many years in a gym. I was skeptical at first because of my old ways of thinking about fitness but I have been totally converted to this way of working out. All the trainers here are wonderful and well educated in this method. Your workout is customized for your goals and abilities. I felt stronger and saw results in a short amount of time. I am beyond grateful that I found Diana. This is life changing! read more

Diana is knowledgeable, encouraging, kind, fun, affable, warm, non-judgemental, understanding, adaptable, organized, professional, not a weirdo, attentive, passionate, and easy to communicate with. The workouts are the right level of challenging. They're quick and about as enjoyable as exercising can be for someone like me who is generally on the lazy side. You will NOT be doing any burpees or jumping jacks or anything of that sort that will make you groan and wish you had stayed in bed. The exercises are specialized and targeted, and having gone for a couple months now, I am definitely starting to notice the positive effects. The gym is small and comfortable and the lessons are one-on-one! This means totally individualized and goal-oriented workouts, and no other customers are in the gym (Even still, full COVID precautions are taken)! Also, there is no awful music playing! Prices are reasonable and there is free parking in the back. Very highly recommended! read more

A wonderful way to start working out again after not doing so for many years. Diana and team are sweet, kind and easy to work with. They clearly know what they are doing and make it easy but also a challenging workout. Communication and scheduling are super easy too. I highly recommend. Definitely try it out if you're on the fence! read more

Diana is nothing short of amazing! There are so many great things about her that it's hard to put it all into words. She is the perfect combination of everything you would want in a personal trainer. She is knowledgeable, caring and efficient. The work she does is designed specifically for you and where you are now. She truly listens to your concerns and adjusts your workout accordingly. I have been injured/reinjured on more than one occasion with traditional trainers mostly because they didn't listen to me. It was that kind of "no pain, no gain" mentality. I also have never reached the kind of muscle mass and definition that I have now. While working with Diana and utilizing the slow-motion, high-intensity strength training, I have never had a concern that she was pushing me too far, too fast. In fact, with every machine setup at every session, she checks in to see how all the machine settings are working for you. This is due to the fact, and I learned this more thoroughly while working with Diana, some days you "got it" and some days you just don't. Diana is also punctual, which is a biggie for me. She's fair and reasonable as she can be when it comes to scheduling. She also doesn't impose on you what she thinks your goal(s) should be. When I first started working out with her I just wanted to get stronger and walk without pain. And I'm happy to report, "mission accomplished". Now we've moved on to other goals. Recently, Diana moved into her new private facility where she works with you one on one. Additionally, she leaves enough time between sessions so that clients don't overlap. She keeps the studio in immaculate condition. In this time of Covid, it's very comforting to know how conscientious Diana is about following the mandated regulations as well as her own personal standards regarding the cleanliness/sanitization, air circulation and general aesthetics of her studio. I feel very safe and comfortable working out there. I'm always pleasantly surprised and excited by the muscle that I've built and maintained through working with Diana. Admittedly, it seems counterintuitive that thirty minutes a dayfor one day a week could make that big of a difference but it truly does. I am so happy that I have found Diana. It is truly one of the best things that I have ever done for myself. If you are thinking about trying slow-motion, strength training at all, Diana would be a terrific place to start. P.S. She also has a great sense of humor. read more

I LOVE how weight lifting makes me feel, but I HATE doing the traditional setup -- finding time and motivation, counting plates, tracking progress, obsessing over form but somehow still dealing with nagging injuries - every component beyond the actual weight lifting itself makes me less excited and less likely to stick to a meaningful routine. Super slow, high intensity workouts with a trainer are completely different. They're quick, effective, and literally the only thing you have to worry about is working your muscles. Diana sets up the equipment, tracks your progress, corrects your form, and modifies for pre-existing injuries or sensitivities. I can't praise Diana and The Workout Revolution enough - the workout is incredible, the studio is immaculately clean and private, Diana is encouraging, knowledgable, and so easy to work with. read more

I've been working out with Diana for a few years now. I have a lot of back issues, and I wanted to find a way to build up my strength without further injuring myself. Having never worked out with a trainer before, I was a little hesitant and intimidated since I wasn't in the best shape and I didn't know what I'd even be physically capable of doing. From the beginning, Diana was very careful to design workouts for me that wouldn't aggravate my back, and to this day she's very cognizant about checking in periodically during the workout to ensure nothing is hurting me. With the slow-motion technique I've been able to build up my strength significantly, and I never worry that a workout will bother my back. I cannot recommend Diana enough! read more

I enjoy doing all different types of work outs routines (yoga, pilates, kettle bells, hill training, etc) and there is nothing quite like what Diana is doing. I find each session challenging and completely rewarding. I love the 1 on 1 attention you get and can already feel and see the difference after a short amount of time. Highly, highly recommend Diana and this method of training over any thing else I've ever done. read more

I started going a couple weeks ago and it really is a life changing way of exercising for me. I had a back injury which has left me quite sedentary. I gained over 100 pounds. Traditional gym exercising doesn't really work for me. This program is very low impact and controlled strength training. I am able to do the exercises without any pain. My trainer, Sara, is great. For the first time in 15 years I'm excited to exercise! read more

Diana is an incredible trainer. My fiancee and I have been seeing diana for about a year and she has propelled us into a life of health on all levels. Diana's specific form of training is effective, efficient, and I have never felt any strain or injury after one of these workouts. We always leave with jello legs and arms because you work hard, but don't even realize how hard because she makes it fun and interesting. Diana is easy to schedule, convenient, and makes each and every work out about you and your fitness goals. I would recommend diana to anyone, whether you are looking for more strength and definition, or maybe you are nursing an injury but still want to work out. Diana is the perfect trainer for you. In addition to being an excellent trainer, diana has become a friend who I can share my personal health goals with and who supports and guides me through them. Thank you diana! read more

Diana is the most patient, knowledgeable, focused, and kind trainer I have ever worked with. She somehow manages to work me out to the point of exhaustion but I feel happy about it. She has helped me with my back pain and recovery from a broken leg. When I started with her I dropped two dress sizes and managed to put on muscle weight at the same time. Not bulky muscle. Lean muscle. I have reffered many people to her all of them have stayed on and have reffered others. Do your body a favor and sign up. read more

I was referred to Diana by a friend and to be honest I was quite hesitant. What I consider a workout is to be drenched in sweat and barely be able to walk. My workouts normally consist of 1-2 hrs or heavy weights and cardio so a 30 minute resistance training with lights weights didn't sound like a workout to me. SO I was WRONG... It was a full body workout and my muscles were completely fatigued after the workout and I was sore for days later. I felt it was such a great workout I actually bought a gift certificate for a friends bday gift on the spot. My friend hates the gym and gets bored immediately so I thought this would be the perfect work out for her. I've recommended Diana to several friends and with the friends that referred me I've seen huge changes in there bodies. read more

Love Diana! Initially I bought a Groupon for 4 sessions and I was hooked. I had never done the super slow method before but I really liked it immediately. Diana is incredibly attentive and knowledgeable so feel challenged and safe. I've been working with Diana usually once a week since November and I actually look forward to working out which for me is shocking. She'll really tailor the workout for your needs while also keeping it very well-rounded. And all in 30 minutes! General useful tidbits: Body USA is a small gym with a few trainers so it's pretty quiet and low key which I like. Usually there's not more than 1 or 2 other people working out at a time. Not fancy but they have everything you need: towels, water cooler, bathroom and lockers. And free underground parking. read more

I never did the slow workout before and I had tried everything to release the pain in my lower back. It wasn't until I started working with Diana that I saw considerable improvement in my pain. It's an intense 30 minutes but you leave knowing you have done something good for your body. I do other workouts, but work in Diana twice a week and it's changed the way I function day-to-day. read more

Diana is great to work with. She is endlessly patient with my grumping my way through my workout as long as I keep working. One she sets the weights for the first exercise it is clear that her objective is to never let your heart rate drop during the whole time you are with her. I am a data guy and to see my chart, I don't just feel the progress, I see it. The burn in super-slow lifting is real and I love the results so far. read more

I'm 63 and the past few years have faced some unexpected medical challenges I never thought I'd have to manage. It's difficult to find ways to exercise, especially when you don't have energy or you're not feeling too well. As someone that has always wanted to lift weights and is now older, the worry of bone density and muscle mass is a huge concern, as it contributes to so many activities that we do every day. When I found this slow-motion, high intensity strength training, I learned that this would not only help with strength, but it also helps with increased attention, focus and concentration. I truly enjoy my workouts with Diana. She creates a safe, welcoming and client focused environment, directed towards you and your goals. She helps you learn how to utilize your muscles and perform each movement correctly, so you get the benefit of every moment you are working together. This is the best thing anyone can do, young or old, to build strength, definition, and overall health! I swear by it! read more

Diana is a master at Super Slow Training. This method is highly effective as well as efficient. I am a 54 year old female nutritionist/small business owner and I don't have endless amounts of time to spend at a gym or at workouts, nor do I have the attention span. This is great for me. You get lots of benefit in a short amount of time. I recommend this sort of workout and Diana to every one of my clients. Diana really knows all the ins and outs of this type of training, as well as muscles and parts of the body, which is really important. She has her complete attention on you and what you are doing during an exercise so you don't create bad habits or waste your time doing the exercise incorrectly. Her passion really shows, which I appreciate. I have been to other trainers who do the Super Slow Method, and I think that Diana's attention to detail and her understanding of physiology and this method make her heads and shoulder's above the others. read more

After a couple of sessions with Diana it become clear she is the BEST trainer combined with the best work out regimen I have ever had - and I have spent more money on Personal Trainers and gym memberships than I care to admit. Why? There are several compelling reasons. 1) Diana clearly knows her physiology and is excellent at crafting a workout that will help you get the most out of each session. 2) She watches you like a hawk during each repetition, strictly making sure you are maintaining the proper form to maximize your effort. This is exactly why you pay a personal trainer and she doesn't take a Rep off! 3) in 20-30 minutes once a week you receive an ass-kicking work out combo of cardio and weight bearing exercise that delivers maximum results. 4) For both your time and money Diana and her Super Slow work out provide a fantastic ROI. If going to the gym is part of your social life, this is not for you. If you are looking for a great, total body work out that doesn't require a huge time commitment you can't get any better than this! read more

Diana makes fitness, fast, efficient and fun. Every session is a stretch goal that makes you feel unstoppable and strong. Great results in less time. read more

I've been working with Diana for a few months, now, and am VERY happy with her. It's a "super-slow" muscle contraction method that maximizes efficiency (you get more results in less time). She also works with diet, and I've lost 20 pounds. I'm 68 and am happier with my body than I've been in many years. I just came back from my 50th high school reunion, I had a great time, largely thanks to my work with Diana. Also, she has a great sense of humor and is very sensitive to however conversational you want to be, while working out. read more

"Working out with Diana is the hardest 20 minutes of my life...but also the most rewarding. I could never get to the gym consistently when I worked out by myself, but having a trainer like Diana to hold me accountable and coach me along the way has made all the difference. I feel stronger than ever and my body looks better and younger than it has in years." read more

As the owner of Body USA fitness in Sherman Oak, CA we are very pleased to have such a knowledgeable and professinal trainer as Diana......

Diana is amazing. She is focused, knowledgeable, and works with me and my crazy schedule. She makes me feel as though I am the most important client she has, every time I see her. As a former gym rat and fitness fanatic, I was initially very skeptical about superslow weight training but all the research is right! You do get as much benefit from 20-30 minutes once a week as you would in 3 hours a week in the gym doing conventional weight training. Everyone needs some resistance training and if you are pressed for time, superslow is the answer and Diana is the trainer you need. read more

I love working out with Diana (and I normally hate working out). Her workouts are super effective and I love that I don't have to spend hours exercising to lose weight or get stronger. I have been meeting with her once a week for close to 2 years and I lost 26 pounds when I first started and then got pregnant with my second child. I still worked out with her once a week throughout most of my pregnancy. My delivery and recovery was so much easier than with my first child and I really believe it's because of the work I've done with Diana. My body just feels stronger. Diana really knows what she is doing. She will make these very subtle adjustments to your movements and it will make a huge difference in how it feels. Also, she is an extremely nice person and I enjoy spending time with her. read more

The workout is intense but with Diana's patient support and encouragement I dig in and enjoy the burn! And it does burn. I've never been able to spend more than five minutes lifting weights in a gym but I look forward to every workout with Diana because I accomplish so much in such a short amount of time. Working to muscle failure was a little intimidating at first but Diana helped me achieve a level of commitment and focus that I haven't experienced with other fitness programs. She's knowledgeable, talented, attentive and makes every session challenging and best of all, fun! I'm totally addicted!" read more

When I first started working out with Diana, I had taken an embarrassingly long hiatus from working out (like years). I was terrified, yet excited and committed to get back in. However, I had never really been a "lifting weights" person. In my fitter years I was more into yoga and barre classes. But with the research I had done, I felt I needed to weight train for long term health benefits and to build up my muscles that had been on vacation for way too long...and hey, Diana and the SuperSlow technique claimed that you only needed to do this for 20-30 minutes, once/week to get results...sounded way too good to be true, but worth a try. After my first workout, I was in love. They are not kidding when they say this is "SuperSlow." You work so slow and so hard and so heavy that your muscles burn in a way I had never experienced before. And the high, invigoration and endorphin rush you feel afterwards is incredibl...and later, it turns into a relaxing fatigue that makes you sleep like a baby. But still it was difficult for me to believe that once a week of this would be enough to make a real difference. Well I was wrong...in less than 3 months I needed to buy new clothes because they were getting too big! And shortly after that people starting noticing that I had more definition in my arms and legs...and my boyfriend said he could really see a change in my butt...well need I say more! I WAS ADDICTED! Enough about SuperSlow, now let's talk about Diana. It's been almost 2 years now, and I can't imagine my life without my Diana workouts. She is so knowledgeable about what she does and her passion for it is so obvious. The workout never gets easier (Diana makes sure of that :), but over time certain things relating to your mind/body connection will click in a different way for you, actually allowing you to work even harder and deeper...which makes it even more rewarding. First and foremost, Diana is concerned about your safety. She will explain to you that injury is less likely with SuperSlow than in many other workouts...because you are lifting the weights so "slowly," it incorporates a stretch and does not allow you to use any momentum. Still, as I do, you may have certain tendencies or history of injuries that require special care and attention during your workouts. For me, I have ongoing issues with my neck and low back that I see a chiropractor for. And this is where Diana's expertise really shines through. She finds ways to tailor my workouts to these issues without compromising the intensity (and constantly checks in with me from week to week to make sure I do not have any changes in my health that require additional modifications). Also, she is on me during my entire session to make sure I am maintaining proper form and feeling good. Nothing I have done in my sessions with Diana has ever aggravated my injuries, which my chiropractor is amazed by given the intensity of these workouts...he always says "your trainer must be really amazing, knowledgeable, attentive and caring." And I say, "SHE IS!" In fact, I've even been having less issues with my low back overall since I've been working with Diana, so I know I am in the best hands. And on top of that, she is just so motivating. She makes you want to excel and compete with yourself. She is the perfect combination of warmth, care and kicking your butt...and she is very in tune with where you are and what you need most at any given time. She knows what you might need to motivate and get you going one week, might be different from what you need the next. And as much as I may be addicted to my workouts, I am human...and there are weeks where I really don't feel like going...I may be going through something emotionally, may have gotten too little sleep, may be feeling weak, may be overwhelmed and busy with other things in my life or may just feel "off" and not in the mood...but I have my appointment, so and I show up...and EVERY single time I am grateful that I did because I ALWAYS feel a thousand times better than I did before I walked in...and many of those times, I end up having some of my strongest workouts ever (how does she get that out of me on those days?) So if your still reading this very long review, I hope you realize you owe it to yourself to call Diana right now and set up your consultation. The best way for me to sum it up is this...Unfortunately, I have been unemployed for the last 4 months, I have been struggling a bit financially and have been looking to cut expenses wherever I can...and some may say the responsible thing to do would be to take a break from my private sessions with Diana....but I just can't give it up....it's what keeps me going physically as well as mentally...and many people in my life have seen the positive changes in me since I began and agree....so I sacrifice other things to figure it out. Thank you Diana! read more

My husband and I have been going to Diana at The Strength Shoppe in Pasadena for almost a year. We both cannot recommend her highly enough. These workouts are tough! High intensity, slow repetitions until you reach muscle exhaustion. The good news is these workouts only last about a half an hour, once a week. The other good news is that THEY WORK! My husband looks years younger - he is now lean, strong, and fit! Diana is extremely knowledgable about super slow, high intensity training and she combines just the right amount of support and toughness to motivate me throughout the session. She is completely focused on the client and provides repeated prompts for proper body mechanics and isolation of correct muscle groups to ensure the best result from each exercise. Thanks to Diana I am stronger and healthier than I have been in a long time. read more

Let me start by saying that I normally hate working out. Not so unusual, I guess. I hate it so much that I rarely do it. This is the only workout that I will do. And it actually works. Diana is amazing. I know it sounds weird to only have to work out once a week and actually see results but I'm literally not even kidding when I say it works. My mom even asked me if I've been working out. I'm talking actual muscle definition. Never thought I'd see the day to be honest. Diana is really encouraging and super nice and you will definitely see results if you go to her. read more

"When I first heard about Power of 10 I was skeptical. How can you possibly work out only 20 minutes once a week and see results? Well it was a few months later when I saw a friend of mine and she looked fabulous! I asked her what she was up to and she said that she was training with Diana and this was her new body after only 2 months. I was sold. I'd never had a personal trainer before and I was a little hesitant, but Diana is the sweetest, most encouraging trainer. She knew when to push me harder and how to keep me motivated. Working out with Diana literally changed my body. Not only did I feel stronger, but the knee pain that I've had since high school and the back pain from my days as a server were gone. Completely gone. I also found that I was much more flexible. I would recommend Diana to everyone. She is professional while clearly taking a personal interest in me. Everyone can find 20 minutes in their busy week and they should be spending that time with Diana." read more

I was initially skeptical about only doing 1 workout a week but I found this to be the most effective and rewarding workout program I've ever done. Period. If you want to get in the best shape of your life, and do it with someone who will become a friend, do this! read more
