    Tired, depressed, uncomfortable and defeated were things I was experiencing before I started to train with Dan. At the beginning of this year, I hit rock bottom like never before, I literally felt that everything I loved I was no longer interested in. One being fitness. Fitness has always been at the very top of my list and for me not to have any interest in fitness anymore really concerned me because I know how much it means to me. After a few months went by this year (Jan-March), I continued noticing my motivation & discipline declining, in addition to all of this, I was experiencing severe lower back and neck pain. I was going to the chiropractor weekly and saw a physical therapist for a few weeks but the pain wasn't getting any better. At this point I knew something wasn't right with my body, I felt all kinds of muscle imbalances, which lead to pain throughout the day. I felt hopeless because PT and the Chiro did not help much. This is when I dropped my ego and made the smartest decision ever to hire a trainer. I swear I thought I knew it all.... Thankfully I found Dan! My first encounter with Dan was amazing, he asked me about my life style and my fitness goals. I explained to him that my ultimate goal is to be capable of squatting again and do dead lifts for the first time in my life. I had not squatted in a couple of years because of my lower back pain, and I never bothered doing deadlifts because I knew it would aggravate my back pain as well. He assured me that he can help me achieve my goals. It was great because he identified my needs right away, communicated solutions for my needs, and presented me with a detailed timeline of everything we were going to do during my time with him. SO I hired him! Training with Dan was life changing! I did not expect the results I have today with the short period of time that I trained with him (4 months). He taught me how to properly use workout equipment and follow workout plans & meals to target different areas of my body. He also measured my success and made adjustments as needed to ensure he satisfies all of my fitness goals. He made what I thought was impossible, possible. It makes me so dam happy to say that I am able to squat with no back pain, and that I can finally dead lift. Overall, I gained 4lbs of muscle and lost 2.2% body fat, all while maintaining my weight at around 160lbs. AMAZING! I am a much happier person all-around. Even my posture has changed to reflect more confidence (as others have said). I feel strong at all times throughout my day and determined to keep this fitness journey going on forever! All thanks to DAN. I can't thank him enough, I have no words, he is literally heaven on earth to me because of the help and guidance he provided. And this is only a short description of my time with him, there is so much more but I'd be here forever. Thank you DAN!

    I found Dan at one of the lowest points in my life and after one call with him I knew hiring him as my trainer was going to be life changing for me. Not only is he incredibly knowledgeable in this field, he is also so encouraging during the process. I've been working with him for 3 months now, lost over 10 lbs and have gained SO much muscle & confidence! I'm now more motivated than ever to keep going. I have Dan to thank for my new body, confidence and knowledge in the fitness world. Hiring him was the best thing I've ever done for myself.

    45 days in and I haven't felt this good in years. Follow his nutrition schedule and work out 2 to 3 days a week and watch your own personal transition happen right in front of you. I'm happy to finding Dan after taking about a two year break and now back it better than ever. If your looking for a solid no BS work out you have found the right guy. Old school Dan for the win!!

    Dan is amazing! I'm really impressed with the results he has brought me within a mere span of 3 months . He is super accommodating, works with your schedule whenever there is a conflict. He works with every small issue you're having in terms with working towards your goals. I found not only a trainer but also a friend in Dan, with whom I could share my personal life's problems that is what really made a difference! Definitely recommended .

    Passionate. Dedicated. Friendly. These are just few words to describe Dan as I get to know him as my trainer. One can definitely see his passion for fitness. He will create a workout and a meal plan to meet your goals. No intense cardio and a meal plan that is easy to follow with your lifestyle. Also, he himself is fit and practices what he preach which I believe is fundamental to a trainer. His dedication to fitness is superb. He considers his client's achievement as his success as well. One time, after measuring our progress, I got the most muscle gain and fat loss. I can still remember his reaction. He acted more triumphant than me which I think is cool! Haha Whether you are outgoing or on the reserved side, Dan will work with you to make the workout enjoyable. He would make small conversation and try to get to know you more. Imagine working out with a friend but you'll see awesome results! Glad that I started working out with him. I look forward to the gains we'll achieve further in the coming months!

    Is It Really Gluten Free ..

    I am an online client out of the east coast, Boston area. I started with Danny only 4 weeks ago! I have lost 6 lbs, I'm feeling leaner and much stronger. He is professional, knowledgeable and always available to answer any questions or concerns. It is very apparent that he takes the time to create a nutrition plan and workout routine that works for achieving my individual goal. He checks in frequently to make sure I'm staying on track or to ask if I am struggling with any part of the program. That type of accountability helps me a lot. He is patient, I can't tell you how many times he has told me to "trust the process"! I am and I am extremely happy with the program and the results.. obviously . I can understand why having an online coach can be hard as there isn't someone there physically telling what to do. His frequent checkins makes you want to stay on track. I know it's coming and I want to be able to answer truthfully that it's going great. Or I know that I can tell him if there is an issue and he will help me. Here is a side by side of day one v 4weeks in. Thanks coach!!!!

    I've been going to FIT Brea since last year and it's been an amazing experience. Andrew and the…read morecoaches design workouts that are challenging, well programmed, and never repetitive. The environment is supportive, and the programming is perfect for people of all ages and fitness levels. The workouts push you to become a better version of yourself. If you're serious about reaching your fitness goals, I highly recommend checking out FIT Brea.

    I'm so thankful I found FIT Brea! Over the past several years that I've lived in the area, I've…read morebeen a part of various gyms (both chain and boutique) nearby. Having now experienced FIT Brea, I'm definitely kicking myself for not trying this gym out sooner. I've only done their group fitness classes so far, which range from 8-12ish people in size, and I'm looking forward to trying out the personal training sessions when my schedule opens up! Here are a few ways that make FIT Brea a standout: COACHING: The coaches here are the whole package! 1. They all have stellar credentials, with many of them holding advance degrees and multiple certifications. In short, they know their stuff. 2. At the risk of sounding facetious, I just want to make the point that the FIT Brea coaches actually coach. It might sound like a no-brainer, but it hasn't always been my experience that coaches do much more beyond demo-ing the moves and saying "good job" or "keep going" every few minutes, especially in a group class setting. Here, the coaches constantly move throughout the room to offer individualized pointers on form, differentiated movements depending on individual strength and mobility, alternative movements for injuries, and encouragement and motivation to keep pushing so I can get better and better. 3. They are all super patient, encouraging, and welcoming! PROGRAMMING: The programming for the group classes are thoughtfully and methodically designed. From what I can tell so far, the workouts are structured in mesocycles with a progressive overload pattern. This is important because if we do the same thing over and over, our bodies will adapt and we will not make appreciable gains over time. With progressive overload, our bodies are constantly challenged so that we can keep increasing strength and improving hypertrophy. COMMUNITY: The FIT Brea community is so nice and helpful. I felt welcomed by the coaches and the other patrons from day one. Several people who recognized that I was new introduced themselves and helped me find and set up various equipment. Others even put my plates and dumbbells back during transitions. Just last week, the whole class broke out into spontaneous applause and cheer when I pushed out that last rep of bench press, haha! The mutually encouraging environment really underpins the whole vibe and experience here. It's a special thing. MANAGEMENT: One of the things that I didn't realize would make a difference in my overall gym experience is having direct access to management/owner. In my past gym experiences, the questions/concerns I had would typically have to go up a chain of command before I got a response. Since FIT Brea is owner-operated, the patrons can directly talk to Andrew, the owner, who is so nice and provides exceptional customer service. SPACE/EQUIPMEMENT: It's spacious, well-maintained, clean, and an overall pleasant environment to train in. CLASS OFFERINGS: I'm a busy mom who works full-time hours plus daily commute. I'm thankful that classes are offered as early as 5am and as late as 6:30pm so that I can get my training time in! If you are looking for a gym where you can optimize and maximize your fitness goals (whatever they are), look no further because FIT Brea is it! I'm a serial Yelp sleuther and almost never write reviews, but my experience thus far has so far exceeded my expectations that I felt compelled to share this gem of a place with others!

    I was with United Fitness when the business was in La Habra. I was with them for around 2.5 years…read moresince 2016. So I know what it was like before Covid and after Covid. I'll tell you about both. I want to note that I never did the 6-week weight loss program they offer every month to new clients. I just came to do the group workout classes for $60/month. I thought the group classes were very good. Each exercises were 1 minute each and you rotate to do another different exercises. It varies from day to day. Most days, the days program includes some resistance and some cardio. Some equipment used are dumbbells, stationary bikes, stairs, rowing, sliders, punching bags, resistance push/pull boxes, ab roller, slam balls, bosu balls, battle ropes, TRX ropes and more. Everyday are different exercises, which I like. Each round, you have 4-5 exercise stations and 3 rounds, which makes it 50 minute of intense workout. I always sweat! The workout is pretty intense. Since being a member, I felt like I gained muscle and my weights has increased since I started. My muscles are often sore after exercising. I loved how Coaches really push/encourage me to con't exercising. They provide free heart monitoring. Free of charge if you're a member. It gives how much calories you burned during the class and who is in the red, yellow, green, or blue zone. The place has A/C when it's hot or in the summer time. It's so nice since, I'm dripping in sweat every class. They used to provide towels for us, but now they don't, we need to bring our own towels. I like that when we do floor stuff, they have black cushion pads for my knees to rest on preventing my knees from touching the hard floor. Depending on the coaches, each coach has their own genre of music they like to play. The music is super loud depending on where station in the room. It's really loud when you stand near the very left of the room (near the restroom). It hurts my ears! There is water fountain and restrooms for male and female. However, they do not have showers. Also, there are no paper towels to dry your hands after washing. They have specific times when class starts and stops. I recommend to check their website online to know what times classes start. Multiple times I've driven there and find out that they are closed for that day. They don't have any reference on their website or their Facebook page that specific day being closed. The only thing is that you'll drive there and realize it. The don't notify when they don't have classes. It's a waste of gas, but more importantly the time to drive there. Plus, no one answers the phone. I don't know why they have a phone number if hardly anyone one answers it. If you want to call, your best bet is to call after 3pm, that's when there is 1 person in front of the gym checking people in. During Covid, I came back after months of not coming to United Fitness because of being precautious of covid and wanted to stay at home, it was easy to come back. They did not enforce wearing a masks doing into the gym or during the class. The thing I noticed was that some coaches try to social distance esp with stationary bikes, stairs, and row boat being so close to one another. I like that some coaches did that. But, I think that all coaches should put people every other seat so at least we are distanced with each person. I think they should limit how many people come to class too, so we can do social distancing for the rowers, bikes, and stair climbers. When coaches don't say anything, people will be next to each other without masks. I felt that is so dangerous of NOT ENFORCING Social Distancing ...they should maybe do every other person on the bike, rowers, and stairs. During Covid, they did not enforce how many people are in a class. When it was beginning of Covid, they had sign-up sheets to enforce how many people can come to the class. But they got rid of that and just allowed anyone and however many people to come to class. During Covid,some classes, esp the night ones were packed with people. They don't limit how many people come to class. Therefore, not social distancing on at each station. They do ask everyone to wipe/disinfect using spray bottles and paper towels. The spray bottles were community use. However, restrooms still don't have paper towels for people after washing hands. Like: --class exercises --coaches pushes me to keep going --coaches demonstrating the exercises before us starting --easiness of stopping and starting membership --free to use weighing scale with fat % & muscle % Dislike: --not enforcing social distancing, esp with bikes, rowers, and stairs machines being so close to one another --people not wiping their sweat from their stations....so gross and coaches not enforcing the wipe down between stations --not knowing which days are open and which are closed --no one answering their phone calls --super loudness of their speakers that you can't hear the coach

    I completed the 6 week challenge and lost 20lbs! Hannah and her team are the best. They help you…read morefind your own pace and work out safely while still challenging you and helping you build strength and confidence.

Hannah is a boss! She holds you accountable to your plan and is very reachable for questions and follows up! I need the motivation to get to the gym and they all definitely provide that!
