Train Insane is LEGIT! I came from a bootcamp circuit type gym where we did alot of heavy lifting and cardio circuit training, but there was no real structure to it. TRAIN INSANE, however, has a dedicated program that you easily jump into and start on a clear path. I love that we all have composition books and write what our workouts were, what weight we used, etc, so that we are now holding ourselves accountable. And each time you do an exercise you have a reference of what you did, so the next time you can try adding weight/reps. And its a slow, healthy progression of adding weight, as opposed to my old gym that had 10lb plates as a min, so you're really adding 20lbs everytime you're tying to increase :/ ok, no one likes to read essays so heres the short version: PROS: crystal clear program to follow - even if you miss a day you can easily makeup the workout on a different day workout balance - the year is divided into 4 sections like strength training, endurance training, etc to fully train your body in diff ways and not just do heavy lifting for 12+ months writing down workouts/work load - keeps you self sufficient and accountable small class sizes - 15 ppl max coaches are constantly walking around helping/correcting form/giving feedback great atmosphere - ive only been going to TI for 2 months, but its already a family feel. everyones on the same path to better themselves, and it just a great positive environment different programs - whether you want to lose weight to doing a fitness competition, they have the program to get you to your goal 15 min roll out - you have to come 15 min before working out to roll out. if you're serious about working out and dont want to get hurt, this is integral! no, no one wants to do it, but its necessary. i love that the 15 min is incorporated in your workout so its not like you have to do it on your own GEOFF - the brains and owner - highly experienced and educated to be a gym owner. Go to train insane's website and look at his bio. He went to school for this, competed in bodybuilding, he is an incredible asset. He keeps it real, no nonsense. coaches - Geoff has trained his coaches thoroughly. The aren't even fully "coaches" until theyve passed a 3 or 4 month internship! Just by watching my form while squatting a coach asked me if my calves were tight? i didnt think so but when they pressed on it at a specific location i jumped! they gave me a specific exercise/stretch to do and i tell you, since doing that before every workout, my squats are much better! TI nutrition - working out is only one part of the equation....Nutrition is SO important. TI has their own kitchen and you can purchase healthy delicious meals. amazing i know. CONS; online signup - you have to sign up for the class time you want to go to. do it early cuz classes fill fast. BUT i find that signing up does force me to go to the gym so mentally it kinds does help ha. and this is what ensures classes dont go over 15 ppl, so thats good. Thats about it. This is a gym for CHANGE. if you want a place where your goals are met, you want to see a difference in your body/mind then TI is the way to go. read more

Anyone who knows how difficult it is to make positive change to a 40+ year old body will appreciate Train Insane. Aaron and Geoff inspire you to push yourself to your personal limit, and the results come... Quickly! A long drive from Aliso Viejo, but definitely worth the trip! read more

this is more like 4.5-4.75 stars. It's been a while since I worked out at this gym. I stopped because the cost and location didn't quite fit my needs. Since then, I have worked out at three different crossfit gyms. Two of which were horrible and one that I enjoyed. The one I enjoyed was just as expensive as train insane, but 15 miles closer. Still, I continue to remember my time at train insane, the sense of community, the friendliness of both trainers and patrons, as well as the results. Crossfit staff had select so many staff members that it was hard to get know them and other members were not very friendly. There was a sense of elitism there. At train insane the workouts are similar to CF, but trainers are more attentive, workouts feel guided -it's not a contest or a race. If they were closer, I would return. read more

Best workout I have enjoyed in a long time, already seeing results in the short time since I have joined. I can also bring my kids with me if I need to, no excuses. I appreciate all the coaches, they really work with you to make sure you are doing everything correctly so you don't get hurt. read more

Train Insane Gym is such an awesome environment. I have been going to about 5 weeks now and am seeing results. I had both my hips replaced because of severe osteoarthritis and gained a lot of unwanted weight due to being inactive. I have tried different exercise programs but none have kept me motivated. What I like best is all the support you get from the trainers and other members. I also signed up my uncle with Down Syndrome and he loves this place and we are now on a regular workout plan together. If you are looking for a gym that helps change not just your body but your lifestyle this is the place to be!!! read more

I have been training at train insane since August and have loved it? It is a very warm and supportive environment to train and reach fitness goals! I have seen great results? Geoff is extremely passionate about training And helping people reach goals! I would recommend this gym to anyone who feels ready to take control of their body and get great training!!!! read more

Train Insane Gym is awesome! Phenomenal staff, challenging workouts, wonderful facility, and just an overall great environment to train insane or remain the same! I work out in spurts and am not too confident when it comes to working out. My biggest obstacle is me and being afraid I'll fail. I'm the type who would rather not even try than fail. And, if it's even remotely hard, forget it count me out! Geoff, Cara, and Natasha really helped me with all of that. They're extremely attentive, explain the workouts well, and are very encouraging. Each class has about 17 participants, so the coach to participant ratio is great. Classes begin with us "rolling out" which is a way to help with muscle recovery, warm-up, and then the workout for the day. Daily workouts vary which keeps it interesting, fun, and challenging. During the workouts, the coaches walk around and provide feedback (e.g. how to improve our technique, words of encouragement). The workouts, and the intensity of them were challenging but I never ever regretted a single workout there! I learned a lot, toned up, and feel stronger than ever! Now I'm ready for any workout challenge. read more

Such an incredible gym....Geoff and Aaron are such motivators each and every time I work out with them. Although I have only been working out with them for a month, I can already see huge improvements in my body and I only work out THREE times a week!! Highly recommend if you are serious about losing weight and getting fit!!! read more

Really enjoyed this gym and the training team. Class sizes were great. Got a great work out every time I came in. It would have been nice if they had a later morning class during the week. I got a living social deal for a month to try the gym. It included a grocery store visit and unfortunately I didn't get to do it because they only do one every few weeks and it wasn't conducive to my schedule. I definitely would have signed up for continual months but the price was a bit to high for me read more

a co worker introduced me to this place. I came in skeptic but was won over instantly with the friendly instructors and people working out there. There is a coach or two that supervises each class while working out. Another that will pull you aside to help you stretch if you feel tight/over worked. There is a level of experience within these coaches that no other gym can compare to. It is like taking a college level class without the book work. I started at 205 and 60-75 days later was at 160. Eventually dropped to 145. This gym offers a meal plan to boost your metabolism, physical therapy to ease the rough days and a learning experience that will change the way you live. read more

This is the most amazing gym I've ever been to!! The coaches are attentive, professional, informative and all around fun. They are knowledgeable and experienced in the fitness field and really work with their clients to get results. They offer nutrition meetings to get your food intake on track and recently created Train Insane nutrition that provides healthy prepared meals for those of us who have a little more trouble prepping meals for the week. I would recommend this gym to anyone. This is a judgment free zone and everyone is really friendly and encouraging. For anyone out there who is a little hesitant about starting a gym (I was at first too) Train insane offers a free trial class. read more

I joined because a friend did a bikini contest and she looked amazing. Not that I would be able to get in front of strangers in a swimsuit, but I would love to feel that cut. So I have been with TI for over 2 months and love the one on one attention you get. I have been doing boot camps on and off for 5 years and my weight stayed the same. This gym makes me feel strong. They help you with your form and at boot camps that isn't watched as much. Also the nutrition sessions have been an eye opener on learning what to eat and swapping things I used to eat for healthier options with more protein as I already thought I was a clean eater. Marco has been so positive with my sessions. They whole team is awesome, Owner Geoff, assistant trainers : Leslie, Laurie, Mike and Shannon. The gym may look intimidating but everyone is so welcoming and really uplifting as they have all had to start at low weights and keep you motivated on every step which has really kept me going. I am a vegan, breast cancer survivor who has been through chemo and 5 surgeries, if I can lift weights, so can you! read more

i've tried many many things after getting to college and train insane gym by far has been the only thing that has worked for me. It is so comprehensive, with support in all areas of fitness, articles, workouts, nutrition. EVERYTHING! They do everything they possibly can to make your success possible. Its such a positive environment and i love going there! Everything is tailored to your needs and i'm simply in love! read more

I have been going to Train Insane for over two years now and it has been the greatest experience I have had as far as working out is concerned. The coaches really put in the time and effort into each member, unlike the typical crossfit gym. They are more focused on bettering their members that trying to get the masses to attend the gym. Geoff the owner really has done his homework and knows what he is talking about when it comes to body movements and dieting. Natasha his assistant answers all of my questions and is always available to help. I highly recommend this gym, and don't listen to Heather's comment below, she is retarded and doesn't understand what a contract means. read more

To Annie A, did you buy off of living social? i did too and i have to say this to you: you should have contacted them before you purchased if you were looking for a 24 hour fitness type place. ive stuck with the workouts from train insane and i have seen results (and isnt that why we purchased this in the first place) i also might add that they have a fan (maybe not a/c) however you actually sweat more when its hot (hence why professional athletes work out in super humid places with tons of clothes on) and your comment about 1 bathroom...how many do you need?? seriously, you are acting ridiculous and like a diva (and if you are a high maintance diva, why are you looking for deals on living social?? train insane is amazing and im seeing major results because unlike Annie A, im not quitting!! and i might add, you were unhappy with your body when u purchased this membership and you are going to still be unhappy with it until you get your lazy butt off the couch and workout (even if there is no a/c and 1 bathroom!) get it together girl!! they are doing you a favor by not refunding your money!! read more

Whatever your goals are, the coaches at train insane will get you there! They are so passionate about what they do and are incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of training. Geoff, Natasha, Marco and Melissa are some of the best coaches out there and you'll see why! They understand that every person that comes into the gym is different, they take their time to get to know you and exactly what it is your working towards. They know your goals and get you there! Gyms are a dime a dozen, but this one is my opinion, is the best one out there! Don't take my opinion come see for yourself! read more

Train Insane is an awesome gym, the coaches are all great but don't expect to move up in the class unless you are one of the favorites or if you attend Chapman University. It's hard to fit in because everyone is in their own little clique and it makes working out kind of intimidating. I know some people who have been lifting weights for years and they can't move up to the "lifting" class or make the "team" because they are not a favorite of the coaches. read more

If you want to get in shape, this is the place to go. You train like an athlete, lift weights and get results. Nutrition consultations are included and when utilized, you will see a positive change in your body. The coaches are amazing and the gym family is nothing but supportive. After going here, I will never go to a regular gym again read more

The coaches here are so amazing and helpful to each member. No matter at what level you are at in exercise, you are trained from the beginning to learn and habituate yourself to all of the works outs. If you are ready to see results, you should definitely consider joining this gym; all it takes is patience on your part and willingness to listen to instruction. read more

I have been training with Geoff and Aaron, the owners of Train Insane Gym, for almost a year now. I have always been a pretty active person but had really started to let myself go about 3 years ago. My husband came home one day and told me about this great workout he had done. Geoff had put him through a "bootcamp" type of workout and he said he'd never worked so hard in his life. He decided that he was going to start going to bootcamp on a regular basis and he invited me to join him. I had some serious doubts about whether I could handle a workout like that or not. I'm in my 40's and was about 30 pounds overweight. The extra weight was depressing me and I was starting to lose a lot of my self confidence. I have to admit that the first workout kicked my booty and I wasn't quite able to finish all of it. It made me realize how out of shape I really was and I became motivated. I started going to bootcamp 3 days per week and through perseverence along with the incredible motivating power of Geoff and Aaron, I can now not only finish a complete workout but I feel stronger than I have ever felt in my life. I have lost weight, gained muscle and have way more energy than I used to have. The workouts are always different, challenging and a lot fun. Geoff and Aaron will push you to your limits and you will accomplish goals that you never thought possible. Thank you Train Insane Gym for giving me my confidence back! read more

This gym is amazing!! I trained with Geoff, Kara and Natasha and honestly i was so blessed to workout with such great trainers. Geoff actually cares about his clients your not just another number at this place. I was introduced to this gym by a couple friends and i wish i could go back only thing is it is pretty pricey but its worth it if i could afford them again id go back in a heartbeat!! I walked into this gym with horrible technique and unable to squat period due to a past knee injury Geoff did not let me baby my knee he worked and worked on my squats and soon as i knew it BOOM i was ass to grass!!! They teach you everything you need to know and they do spend one on one time with you and if you ask to come in earlier or stay later Hanna will gratefully work you in the schedule She is a sweetheart and runs the business with Geoff shes such a doll i gotta say this place is overall perfect everyone is always happy and motivating they push to the limit and they're so worth it!!! read more

If you want results Train Insane is the gym for you! I was previously a member at Orange Theory for 8 months and didn't see any change.

to heather B who says they are expensive and take your money...ive been attending train insane bootcamp since they started and did much research before signing up and found that they were actually less expensive than most, not to mention...what price tag do you put on your health??! as far as stealing your money goes, did you READ the contract they give you to sign? i assume you didnt and you didnt cancel within the grace period that they allow you to? hmmm, looks like you should only be mad at yourself for that!!! and on another note, you should have stuck with it, you would have seen major results!! cant happen overnight, and if it did, you would be spending a whole lot more than these guys are charging. train insane is a great bootcamp for people willing to work hard! read more
