Just joined Thrive Training a few weeks ago and I'm so glad I did! I'm in my late 40s and was nervous getting back into group fitness, but they made it incredibly welcoming from day one -- my name on the door, introductions to everyone else in the class, and a partner to help me through the workout. The trainers, team, and members are all supportive and encouraging. If you've been hesitant to start a better exercise routine, this is a great "no judgement" place to do it! read more

Met with Oliver this morning, to learn more about him and his business. Location is in a business center area, easy to find. As you can see in one of the pictures, it's was a warm welcome and the gym is intimate and inviting. They have a small group area and have a trainer there with you, to also make sure you are stretching. Stretching is very important... something I don't do but should. lol. They also have an area for one on one sessions. Thrive has a purpose! Geared toward people over 40. The purpose is to make sure you don't quit. Strategically, you would sign up for 1 or 2 classes per week; this is also because he wants you to have a life outside of a gym setting. Nutrition and diet is also key. If you are looking to be held accountable, have people there to support you throughout your journey and build a lasting relationship, look no further than Thrive Training. You won't regret it! read more

See all

Oliver and his team are amazing! They embrace you where you are and guide you along the way. Their support has been invaluable to me and I look forward to going to the gym. read more

Thrive Fitness Irvine is hands-down the best decision I've made for my 50s fitness journey! The trainers -- Sean, Veronica, Kalen, Chana, Joseph, and Oliver -- are next level. They don't just coach you through workouts, they actually make sure I'm doing the little things so I don't get injured. That kind of care is rare. The vibe here is unbeatable. It's more than a gym, it's a community. I've truly enjoyed each workout and community walk I have attended. read more

My wife and I have been going to this place to work out for more than a month now. It is a great place to work out. They offer multiple timeslots through the day, 6 days a week. Maximum class size is 8 people so it is not crowded. Trainers are very attentive and personal. We feel like we are in a community. I would recommend this place to my friends. read more

Great place for "over 40's" to build some muscle while learning proper technique. The group trainers are knowledgeable and very patient. Class size is small. They have an In-body to track muscle gain/fat loss. And an infrared for any client to use. My 80+ aunt referred me to Thrive. After coming for a year she regained some big life enhancing abilities. She loves the community here and they seem to lover her too. read more

I love THRIVE Training! The trainers are welcoming, supportive and attentive. They really know their stuff. The workouts are challenging but not so much that you can't walk the next day or that you injure yourself trying to keep up, all of which is important to me. I also love the small class sizes and that the other members are fun. read more

I just completed my 6th week of 1:1 training at Thrive. I also got my first "are you losing weight?" comment this week. I don't see it yet but I guess others do. I'll take it! I started at Thrive to avoid pills, injury and illness as I get older. I'm in my early 50s. I hadn't exercised for several years. Oliver and his team have been so kind and supportive. The first couple weeks were tough but now I look forward to my workouts and actually think they're fun! A special thank you to Kaelen and Chana. You are changing my life, one workout at a time. read more

I like going to work out? I LIKE GOING TO WORK OUT! AT THRIVE! Who would have thought? Not me! I love the team here. Truly nice people who make sure I sweat and have proper form. I also truly enjoy the other members. We all seem to have similar goals. Become stronger. Working with Thrive has helped me immensely with my strength, energy, posture, endurance, and back pain. I highly recommend Thrive to everyone. But especially to those who need a little extra push but with a kind hand. I am so happy that I found this crowd. read more

I've been coming to Thrive for a couple of months now, and I cannot tell you how you what a difference it has made in my life! I feel healthier and stronger than I ever have. The trainers and Thrive community are exceptional and make me feel like I am a part of something great! Thanks to everyone!! read more

Excellent training , I have been with Thrive since 2021 and have advanced in my training after 6 months of hospitalization from COVID. Dependable and experienced trainers have coached me the right way on the proper exercises needed to maintain my balance and strength. Thank you. read more

Love coming here to work out with a community of like-minded folks. The trainers are wonderful and invested in helping us meet our fitness goals. Come join us! read more

This is the best place ever for small group workouts. partly because it's just fun being there and partly due to the excellence of the trainers. So glad I found it - and I looked at a lot of places. read more

I found my tribe! Thrive focuses on the 40+ crowd which is perfect for me! Exercises and classes that are challenging but also with an awareness of where we are with our fitness level. So glad I found this place! read more

Tried them out with their special offer and loved it! Went to several different sessions that focused on different workouts and enjoyed every one. Was a fun laidback atmosphere but professional and the trainers are very knowledgeable and work with you on form. I do the small group classes but still feels like one on one training. Definitely must try if looking to get fit and have a variety of workouts. read more

I'm still training at Thrive over a year later and I am much stronger, more flexible and healthier. The team gets to know you and there's always new movements and challenges to keep it interesting. Thank you! read more

I don't usually give out five star reviews so easily... but I have to say this is a great little workout place and very friendly community! They don't yell at you like some other places when you're working out.. they support and encourage you. The staff is extremely friendly and the other people in the class actually talk to you and greet you when you're working out. What a concept, friendly staff and friendly people.??? Unlike the larger gems where you go and you're kind of lost and you never really meet anybody. This is a great community of people with all the same goal in mind.... Getting a great workout. I highly recommend it.!! read more

I've been training at Thrive for 3 months and it has been amazing! This is my first long term experience working with personal trainers and I highly recommend everyone to give it a try. I am utilizing both the personal trainings and the classes and they really compliment each other. If I could, I would come Monday-Saturday because it's so worth it and I leave in great spirits! This is a 40yo+ gym but I think any age can benefit from their training methods. I have seen results within the first couple of weeks of attending Thrive and it has been addicting to say the least. All the trainers are AMAZING! A big shout out to the trainers I worked with - Oliver Nam (owner and trainer), Jarren, Sean and Joseph! It's totally ok to have favorites cause I do! read more

Great company with very experienced trainers! Especially if you are getting up in age!!

I started working out at this place about a month ago. So far, nothing but the good experience! Gained my energy back. Their guided exercises look very easy but at the end, it is hard enough to make you feel you did have great workout! I recommend this place without reservations:)) read more

Love this place so much! Owner and trainers really listen to you! The customized workouts are both challenging and fun! Great people there! Highly recommend! read more

I highly recommend Thrive for several reasons. First, I was greeted by everybody that worked there as soon as I walked in. It felt like I walked into a family reunion. Second, all the members who were there seemed like friends. They were talking, laughing and interacting with each other but it wasnt unique to that session because its always like that. Theyve got a real family vibe to the place and its amazing. Third, the training sessions there are great. You can tell they know what theyre doing and they cater to your individual needs. I felt great afterwards! If you are looking for a place to join that makes you feel like family and also gives you a great workout. Then look no further. This is your spot read more

This has been a great place to train for me! I've always wanted to get stronger and Thrive makes it approachable and easy to start. You still have to put in the work but they train me on all the movements and I am get healthier and stronger every day! read more

This is a second review- it's been about 6 months and I wanted to let people know that I am so glad I choose to invest the time and money because of the community and trainers at Thrive are excellent!!! My mental health and physical transformation is a little overwhelming to me sometimes- I hadn't realized how disconnected I had become just going thru the motions of living with pain. Now I feel stronger physically and my mental health/ positivity is more of constant. I am still working on overcoming 25+ years of differed maintenance on my body (&mind) BUT..... going to Thrive is fun- it's rewarding every time!!! it's a non- judgmental and safe space so I prioritize going because I am feeling so much better and SEEING results. Example: I helped my son move furniture recently (lifting properly of course) and flights of stairs were easy-peasy!!!! It was hard not laugh and cry I was so grateful. It feels good to feel strong again. So, after a few months of 1-1's I started group classes too. They can be Super challenging but also fun and I feel so good after- it's worth it. Today, my hip pain is nearly gone- I only get a flare up if I'm being stupid/unfocused / overdoing it- same with shoulder pain- gone. I'd also like to mention that when I am feeling pains I tell them and we focus on that or they provide a modification- they have done that when I had vertigo and when my hip Flared up. I almost canceled those times but I have come to prioritize going even/especially when I'm tired or achey. I've learned to trust and they're there!! I've also learned so much about my body and how it works - alignment, posture, breathing: all things that I made assumptions about or took for granted. I also ask a lot of questions lol. Thrive Training- both the community and trainers - are amazing, patient, funny, smart and talented humans. I'm in so much gratitude today Sending much to Love you all CD read more

The THRIVE team is very smart and customizes training for each client, in addition to creating a very friendly, welcoming environment for everyone. I highly recommend this fitness studio and team. read more

A genuine thank you to Oliver for an informative presentation in our class regarding the value of fitness and health for adults over 40. All the material presented proves that he and his team are truly educators, motivators and people who inspire others to live a healthy lifestyle. The entire Thrive team are truly inspiring." - Michelle read more

THRIVE Training has been a game changer in meeting my fitness goals. Owner (Oliver) and each of his trainers are very knowledgeable and dedicated to helping every person improve their physical fitness no matter what level they are. After years of taking barre classes I was anxious and felt awkward about joining a gym and doing circuit training. But the trainers take their time explaining each movement and making sure every participant knows what to do and how to do it properly. All the trainers have really positive attitudes and energy and make the classes fun! I took three classes my first week and noticed a difference in my body right away and I knew I came to the right place. From the moment you enter their studio doors, everyone makes you feel welcome and at home. THRIVE has a clear mission, well-established culture and great morale. The exercises in the group classes feel specially curated and have proven to be effective. If you want to feel stronger, move better and feel more confident in your body, then THRIVE is your answer! read more

I came upon Thrive accidently while shopping and dining in the attractive business & office consortium on Main Street in Irvine, CA. When I walked in the door I was immediately greeted and welcomed into the beautiful private space for fitness goers over 40. I was taken on a brief tour and given some things to take home and read which explained the format of the gym training program and classes. I attended a free personal information session with the owner later that week and he was kind to divulge pricing. Currently I am in my second month working out at Thrive and I am impressed with the knowledge and experience of each trainer. They are professionals at making your workout productive and meaningful. The classes are fun. I must say that what impresses me most is the 'generosity of spirit and kindness' that I feel from all who work there. read more

The workouts are great! The program was created to fit exactly what I need to reach my goals, and I leave the workout feeling better and stronger every time. Definitely recommend coming to Thrive! read more

Great trainers and facility! I look forward to classes here every week. If you are looking for a great workout, this is the place.

Great gym for those over 40. Very supportive and involved staff. Workouts are hard and effective but controlled, reducing the risk of injury. Small class sizes with great trainers and nice clients. read more

Thrive Fitness is a gym opportunity that you will not find elsewhere. The attention to personalized needs of the client is unmatched. I hadn't been to a gym in a long time but was becoming more aware that because my fitness was suffering, so were a lot of other things in just daily living and I needed to make a change. Thrive was (and still is) the most welcoming and accommodating fitness facility I've experienced. The trainers are aware of our individual and unique needs and training activities are tailored specifically for every client. You will see a variety of fitness levels in a variety of clients and the no judgement atmosphere is appreciated. If you haven't been at the gym in a while or if you have been going to the same place for a while and experiencing the same lack of improvement, you need to try Thrive. You will feel invigorated and healthier after the first visit. read more

Oliver and his team have helped me grow as an athlete! They are so helpful and welcoming. If you're skeptical about joining a gym but want to start working out, I would definitely encourage coming to Thrive. read more

Very knowledgeable staff with expertise to address how to get you not only fit but functioning at your best!! They're able to help you overcome any limitations and challenges. They make working our fun, intelligent, and effective read more

Thrive training goes above and beyond in meeting one's fitness needs, goals, and journey. They have a wide variety of exercises that anyone can partake in, and keep it interesting constantly with the workouts! Thrive overall is a very structured and thorough program that is well worth trying out. read more

Thrive training is a great place to get back on top of your fitness journey. They have challenging workouts that push you to do your best but also make it fun. Personally I felt cared for because coming back from an injury, they make sure to have exercises that work for you to get you back to being healthy & strong again! read more

I receive a lot of b.s. messages in my world that aren't very fair to women and it's so toxic to absorb all the time. When I'm at Thrive, a lot of that damage gets undone and then I get to top it all off with the red light therapy! I find the energy of the environment they create at Thrive and Shawn's comments and attitude to be very empowering. read more

Oliver Nam Owner of Thrive Training is one of the most positive people I've ever trained with. No matter how I feel or where my head's at when I show up, I always feel better and have a sunshiny attitude when I leave. He starts with a check in while I'm warming up and doesn't waste any time. Then it's right down to work tailored specifically for me and no two sessions are alike. I bought a package because I decided I was worth it. This also created structure, (which I need). I actually look forward to my appointments now. I started feeling better overall. My body was changing, I was getting stronger and I felt more grounded and focused. I was becoming healthier and happier. If you want real change in your body and mind, enlist the help of this young man and don't look back! Onward together. read more
