Virtuo training has been amazing for me! Everyone there is super nice, welcoming and extremely helpful. They've been great at helping me figure out the correct nutrition to help me build muscle. I've loved that I can be flexible with my schedule if need be and even if I'm on vacation they want to make sure I stay on track. I'm really looking forward to continuing the program! read more

Having worked with personal trainers elsewhere in the past, I took a break from it as I wasn't seeing the results I wanted, and joined a CrossFit gym. While that was great and fun, it led to a handful of injuries and wasn't sustainable long term. When I first started at Virtuo with Coach Keith (the best!), I had big goals and shoulder mobility issues. Keith came up with a plan to reach my goals in a practical but challenging way (dialing in nutrition was key), and really worked on fixing my shoulder issues. Happy to say that in three months time, my goals are so close to being hit that we're working on creating new ones, and my shoulder has more mobility then it has in the past year. Keith has been great in checking in between sessions to hold me accountable on nutrition and my mobility work outside of the gym. His positive energy and knowledge of fitness is definitely five star worthy! The gym itself has a great vibe all around, and is always clean (which I can't say for other gyms!). Everyone is so friendly and is there for one thing - to better themselves and hit whatever goals they're working on. Highly recommend! read more

I would definitely recommend Virtuo to anyone interested in private or semi-private training. I've tried both the group and private trainings and they are both great. Sarita is wonderful and I have been working out with Derrick for private training for the last few months. He takes the time to explain each movement and tailor the program to my goals, needs, and abilities. I definitely feel stronger and in the road to my ideal goals. Love the whole team! read more

Virtuo has been such a great resource for me to build up my strength and tone my body. The whole team helps me stay accountable and on top of my goals! read more

I LOVE training at Virtuo. I never thought I was a person who likes to workout, but training here has changed my mind. I look forward to it! The trainers and other clients are super welcoming and fun. Highly recommend!! read more

Couldn't speak more highly of Virtuo! I've been going for almost a year and am very happy. At first, I wanted to get into better shape and make sure I was doing things properly and that has evolved over time. I had a great 1:1 with Brandon and he paired me up with Sarita, who is just fantastic. Working with Sarita is a true joy. She not only brings immense technical and scientific insight, but is a great motivator who is able to push and encourage you in equal measure. The whole crew is great and I genuinely look forward to going and being there, as opposed to the utter dread I used to feel at most gyms. I'm confident that joining Virtuo and working with Sarita will end up being one of the best decisions I've made for my health and wellbeing. read more

The perfect trainer checks many boxes. He should have an undying passion for fitness, and this passion keeps him awake at night, dreaming of not just best practices from the best fields, but also how to incorporate said practices into his clinical teachings. He commits his entire being to the efficacy and results of his clientele, and knows he does not have a practice without concrete evidence of their progress. He knows each of them by name, but more than that, their hopes and dreams, their greatest fears and insecurities. If they're having a bad day, he knows why, and he knows how to get the best performance out of each of them. He is equally vested in the success of his environment, aka his gym or studio or place of training. He is a voracious and consummate professional who understands both the micro and macro numbers of his gym - how to be the heaviest hitting contributor to the the bottom line AND top line. Ever since I met Eric Perez almost 8 years and thousands of hours ago, I knew he had the potential to become this kind of trainer. And ever since he told me he was joining with Virtuo, and the vision and direction they were taking, I knew this was his moment to finally realize this in himself. Do yourself and favor and RUN, don't walk, to have Eric as your trainer. Believe me, you will not be sorry! read more

I trained with Brandon when he was at his previous gym, when I found out he was opening this location closer to my office I was beyond excited. The gym itself is super clean, has awesome equipment (e.g. curve treadmill, assault bike, weights), and equipment is sanitized multiple times throughout the day. The gym is perfect for anyone who wants a great workout without having to deal with normal gym crowds. Brandon also offers meal plans (e.g. macro based) which has saved my life after being lazy most of quarantine. Overall, this gym is a must if you are looking to stay in shape and learn from the best. read more

I found this gym by accident but have found it to be a saving grace! Everyone is so professional and very compassionate. Worth every penny. I'm completely inspired to get in shape. Each trainer and Brandon the owner is at the top of their game. I'm older and out of shape but no one ever made me feel anything but inspired to be the best version of me! They are patient and willing to show up however the client needs! Love this place! Highly recommend! read more

Before joining Virtuo, I lacked self discipline in both exercise and nutrition resulting in feeling tired and sleepy too frequently. I had an imbalance in my back due to my job and overall I wanted to look and feel healthier. After just a few months, I notice less fatigue! I am feeling stronger and more energetic, mentally and physically. It has become a part of my life that I look forward to even on a bad day because I know I will feel better after. I'm excited to see more positive changes as I continue to lift consistently. Virtuo is especially great because the trainers are diligent and supportive, and the owner is very involved in making the gym and the experience as best as possible for all the clients (for example- this is the cleanest gym I've ever been to, it even smells good when you walk in!) It's the best kind of investment you can do for yourself- so see you there! read more

I never had a personal trainer before trying out Virtuo, so I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but from my initial consultation onwards, my experience has been nothing but positive. I am very happy with my decision to join! All of the trainers at the gym are incredibly welcoming and helpful. My trainer Gilbert has not only helped me work towards my fitness goals, but also provided useful insight about correcting everyday body movement. I have ankle/foot issues and he's been an invaluable source of information to help me correct and improve. I think my favorite part of Virtuo is that Gilbert and the rest of the crew seem truly invested in my progress, which has been an unexpectedly great benefit. I actually look forward to my sessions, which definitely wasn't the case when I worked out before. I've been incredibly pleased with Virtuo since joining and I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking for a personal trainer! read more

Starting my training at Virtuo mid June has been one of the best decisions I've made this year. I walked there not knowing where to start from especially after gaining 30lbs mostly as a result of pregnancy and a very stressful work schedule. I had failed many attempts to lose weight on my own, even with the help of a nutrition specialist at some point last year. When I met Brandon in June, I honestly had no expectation to when I will be losing weight and just wanted to start and feel good about myself. Brandon was very realistic and shared that the weight gained over two years will take some time as I develop healthier eating habits and reassured me that I will lose the weight and maintain my weight loss. He does an amazing job checking on my progress and getting feedback. It hasn't been 3 month yet and I am already so close to hit my 10lbs weight loss milestone (new and first time moms can relate to how challenging this is!) I've been training with Sarita twice a week and absolutly love her training style and support. She always make sure I am performing my exercices correctly and often reminds me that the scale is only one metric to measure progress which is so true. I have so much more energy since I started, I am stronger, and can fit in some of my old pants :) Those metrics to me are as important as the number on the scale. Couldn't be happier, and can't wait what the next 3 month progress will be! read more

I was referred to Virtuo by a friend that trains with Keith. I've had a very positive experience training with Keith. I came to Virtuo looking for guidance on strength training. I tried HIIT classes and gym memberships in the past that never really help me build and maintain good habits when working out. Keith taught me proper technique and helped me understand my physical tendencies doing certain movements like squatting and the hinge. I believe Keith has given me the confidence to workout and not feel like I might hurt myself. He's also the homie! Very easy to talk with and every session answered all of my questions and concerns regarding training and nutritional matters. Although I worked mostly with Keith, I also received additional nutritional guidance from Johnny. Johnny helped me understand at a high level what was required to meet my fitness goals. He also gave me recommendations on how to hold myself accountable with my nutrition in a manageable way. Kelsey and Brandon on staff were very communicative by checking in on me. I value that personability very much. Thank y'all for the work you're doing. I highly recommend anyone looking for personal training with a holistic approach to consider Virtuo. read more

Been working out here for 6 months with Sarita in the semi-private sessions and am extremely happy with the level of attention and assistance in setting + achieving my goals. I've worked out in a lot of gyms and environments (team sports, CrossFit, equinox, private training...) and I've found Virtuo to be the perfect gym/trainer environment, no matter your level of interest and past fitness experiences. I love the way the programming is structured and the facility itself is really nice -- never too crowded, clean equipment, cool temperature, and devoid of obnoxious gym rats yammering on about gains. read more

This review is for Keith Barrett at Virtuo Personal Training. I've used over a dozen personal trainers over the last decade at various gyms (mostly high end gyms in the Los Angeles area). Keith stands out among all of them for truly going above and beyond the call of duty. He does an excellent job of challenging me without inflaming my previous injuries. His communication inside and outside the gym is unsurpassed. He caters to my very specific needs which are uncommon. He will text me asking me how the workout went garnering feedback on my recovery, which is implemented into future sessions. He constantly finds creative ways to keep the sessions engaging and fun. His emphasis on the core muscle group as a foundation is the key to building strength and longevity. I leave the sessions feeling energized even though my muscles are fatigued. What sets Keith apart from the average trainer is that he genuinely cares about you as a human being beyond the money you pay as a service. I can't thank him enough for what he does. His service is truly extraordinary and he does it for an ordinary price. read more

I'm so glad I found Virtuo Fitness! The fact that they are located less than 5 mins from my place is also a blessing. I have a hard time getting up early in the mornings and I'm also not a gym person. I would do quick workouts at home using an app or videos I found on YouTube. I struggled with consistency and finding time to workout felt like a chore. Working out at Virtuo has been a major lifestyle change for me. My friend connected me with Keith and I've been working out with him ever since. Initially, I committed myself to 3 months and now here I am, approaching my 6 month training at Virtuo. Keith is an amazing personal trainer and fitness coach! He shows me how to do each exercise correctly so I don't hurt myself and build core strength. He's very patient and a great communicator. He's taught me a lot about my fitness journey and how to live a healthier lifestyle. His enthusiasm and encouragement can get you through any movement! Not only that, he does a killer job at keeping me motivated and accountable. I'm the strongest I've ever been and look forward to our workouts. If you're looking for a trainer, I highly recommend Keith or anyone on the Virtuo Fitness team for that matter! Eric, Johnny and Brandon are incredible at what they do! read more

This gym is so fantastic. I started my weight loss and healthy journey with Virtuo. I used to hate to work out. I felt personal training was for fit bodies, but no personal training is for those who want to change their lifestyles. I'm so grateful for Johnny. Even when I tried to give up, he would be there to push me and wouldn't allow me to give up. He was not only my trainer but someone who would motivate me daily. He would make me even in my darkest moments. He is one of a kind. I've been in this gym for three years and can see the difference. I now desire to work out every day, unlike before I used to hate it. JOHNNY is a fantastic trainer and motivator who doesn't give up on you. The team in this gym is fantastic Sarita and Brandon always make you feel welcome. read more

I decided to look for personal training to really help accelerate my weight loss. When looking for a personal trainer I knew that I wanted to find a gym with a good culture and a trainer that had a lot of knowledge, not just a guy pushing you through random workouts. I found both at Virtuo working with Eric. Eric was able to sit down with me and really get to understand my "why" behind my weight loss. He then set a plan to put it into motion. Our workouts have been great, he knows when to push me and when to make sure I get to breathe. He is always quick to respond and he is very knowledgeable. The team also provides a gym I am comfortable at as a gay man. It feels like a second home and I look forward to my workouts with Eric. My only regret is not starting sooner because the weight has been coming off so easily. I highly recommend this place. read more

I've been working with Jonathan since February 2022, and he's fantastic. My goals were to gain muscle and strength, both of which I've accomplished with Jonathan. I also have arm muscle definition, which I've never had before! Michelle Obama arms here I come... He's very knowledgable about strength training and I feel like we're setting the foundation for a lifelong exercise routine. He's great about teaching proper form. I've never really committed to any exercise program before until this one, and with Jonathan, I can stay committed. I think it's made me want to seriously stay strength training for the rest of my life. read more

Id like to start off by saying i am not a review person. HOWEVER, I am compelled to speak about the team at Virtuo. First of all, The amount of knowledge the team possesses and shares with each other is second to none. It really is the closest thing, if not the thing itself, to professional athletic training. Certifications on certifications and people who put them to daily use, not just for content. There are many things that factor into the experience here. Mindset, nutrition, education, application, plan and method thereof. These are not just factors, but the beliefs of the team. And it shows - everyday i walk in there, im greeted with fire energy, good humor, and a "get after it" attitude (safety first). Im fired up when I get there and even more fired up when i leave. Now, the training. Gilbert is my man. Like the multifaceted squad with which Virtuo is equipped, Gilbert practices JuJitsu and surfs and is KettleBell certified. (Who knew?). Its nice to know because as a snowboarder and boxer, you need more diversified training than just bro curls. Is it hard? yes. Do i lift heavy things? Yes. Do i stretch? Yes. And so much more. I started with these guys looking for a cross training program to supplement my boxing training. I cannot really express how it has helped because in truth, I've only been w Virtuo for a few months. BUTT (its a big one), my stamina has increased, my mobility and flexibility have increased, I hit harder and faster than before, and at 41 Im on a definitive path to success. And more than anything, my technique for proper physical movement across all disciplines has made some leaps. So, my question to someone when they ask me if I train at Virtuo is - Do you not? I love these guys. All positive. No jive turkeys. read more

Coach Eric definitely knows a lot about gains and meal planning! I am always nervous about exercise and working out but Coach Eric has the best attitude. He helps you get into the spirit no matter your fitness level and his passion and positivity are infectious. He is also super knowledgeable about any supplemental work and is always down to give you that extra care if you ask! Brandon is also amazing. He is really motivating and uplifting and will get you to think about exercising in ways you previously did not and will undoubtedly change your perspective about it for the better. Glad I was able to work out with these two! read more

After going on a personal transformation process, I went to a couple different gyms to continue my training and to find maintenance, and it was very disappointing to have trainers not know what was training is about. I had the great luck to meet Keith and besides being super knowledgeable with the human body, he is someone that makes the 60 minute fitness routine a pleasure, so you will get a dedicated person to help you accomplish whatever fitness goals you have set for yourself. I highly recommend Virtuo and Keith, plus all the staff there. I have been there close to 6 months and I continue to see familiar faces fulfilling their fitness desires in a positive environment and happy in their wellness process. read more

I came into Virtuo with the specific goal of building muscle and losing body fat. I'm about 6 weeks in and the body comp change has been SIGNIFICANT and is still going. Keith is amazing. Super relatable, pushes you hard but still makes it fun. He taught me how to easily count my macros. There is SO much information on fitness out there that I'd find myself going down rabbit holes online trying to figure out what the best path forward for me was. Keith and the team at Virtuo make this easy. If you're thinking about personal training, I can't recommend Virtuo/Keith enough. Well worth the investment. read more

Man, where to start. I've always tried to keep myself in shape, but maintaining a consistent routine has been tough. With so much information on the internet, I was constantly caught up with trying to do "this workout split" and "that diet" which ultimately hindered some of my fitness goals. I decided to look for a trainer & gym that could help provide the structure I needed to take things to the next level. And all I can say is...Brandon & Virtuo did THAT! Brandon (owner & trainer) is a very knowledgeable guy who put his focus on getting me in great shape while preventing any injuries and following a sustainable diet. I'm honored to be trained and guided by him. Many trainers these days don't exactly have the fundamental knowledge about proper form, workout structure, etc and therefore tend to prescribe their clients all the same workouts & diets. But with fitness, it's NOT a one-size-fits-all approach. I've learned how important it is to tailor routines based off the individual. And my gains have significantly improved. The Virtuo gym has all the equipment you need for a great workout and I love it because it's private (and very clean). I'm currently in shred mode and am seeing results every day. Can't wait to see how things continue to evolve in my fitness journey! Thank you Brandon & Virtuo! If you're skeptical or hesitant to sign up, I promise you won't regret it. Already got some of my friends on board and with some hard work & dedication, they've been seeing great results too! read more

I found Virtuo Personal Training by chance when I was searching for a new place to help me reach my health and fitness goals, and I'm so glad that I took the leap! I'm not someone who historically loves to work out, and I am also overcoming a knee injury, but I was ready to make a change with my activity level as well as shed some unwanted weight. From my first conversation with Brandon (owner), I felt like Virtuo would be the right fit for me and I was right. Brandon and all the trainers are incredibly personable and really want to help you achieve your goals. In addition to being approachable, Brandon is also really mindful about checking in with clients to make sure that you are feeling good about where you are along the way, and if there are any areas that need greater attention. He and the team genuinely care, which for me is important. Since training with my coach, Johnny, I've been consistently working toward my fitness goal and getting closer each week, which has been exciting to see! I struggled a lot previously (both with workout consistency and my diet), but I've really found a rhythm with Virtuo, and I appreciate that I am being held accountable in a supportive way. As a result, I've been able to make significant weight loss progress in less than three months time, and I have more energy and stamina for other workouts/classes that I enjoy. Johnny is a super supportive coach and flexible with our workouts based on my individual needs, which includes being extra mindful at times due to my knee injury. I also appreciate that our sessions are genuinely fun, which has made me look forward to training each week. Truly so glad I took the chance with Virtuo and can't recommend them enough! read more

Being someone who had never really worked out, I was a little intimidated when I walked in, but the moment I met Brandon the owner, I felt at ease. I've been training with Sarita the past few months now, and I've been loving everything about the experience. She is motivating, supportive, and fun. With her help and also adding healthy eating, I've lost 20 pounds and am feeling great. I look forward to working out at Virtuo every time I walk in the door. read more

I have been a client of Virturo Personal Training for over 4 years now and I have to tell everyone that they are the best personal trainers! I walked in off balance, slightly injured, and out of shape. I am way leaner, more toned, and super strong. My friends and family are always commenting on how much my body has changed for the better. I went to a Pilates class in Aspen this past week and the instructor was like "wow you're super strong." I can lift and push super heavy, and body isn't bulky its toned. Also, this gym is so fun! Jonathan, Brandon, Keith, have the best personalities. If anyone is going to kick your ass in the gym let it be them because it's fun while they are doing it. I can't recommend these trainers and this gym more than enough. If you put in the work, and let them train you, you will come out so much stronger. The work outs are focused to help your form and make you strong. So, get up off the internet and get to Virturo Personal Training. read more

I have been working with Coach Brandon since March of 2021 and in this time I have lost 50 pounds of body fat due to his comprehensive training/nutrition plans.  I give him my highest possible recommendation.     Brandon is extremely competent, well educated in multiple fitness disciplines and empathetic to his clients.  He is easy work with but will keep you on track and is very communicative and easy to reach; he really goes above and beyond for his clients. Brandon's programing is cutting edge in terms of technique, fitness education and use of technology, i.e. apps, calorie tracking, a positive social media space, etc.  He is not gimmicky or about cheap fitness hacks.   His plans build off the fundamentals but because of his depth of fitness knowledge, the lifting plans he has given me have been engaging, challenging and fun. I am confident that he has set me up well both for future weight loss/fitness success but also with a skill and knowledge base that will let me keep the weight off this time.    Regardless of your sport, fitness goals, health/weight level I truly believe Brandon is the best possible choice for coaching and personal training. read more

Coach Brandon helped me achieve so many goals I never thought possible. I was having terrible hip pain and was struggling to lose weight. I didnt want to get off the couch most days but I knew I needed to do something for my health. Brandon created custom workout plans to strengthen the glutes, hips, and legs and now I'm able to do most things without pain! I went from seeing a chiropractor every 2 weeks to seeing them every 3 months! And as of today I'm down almost 17 pounds in 8 months since I started my workouts. Everyday is a struggle to stay motivated but with Brandon just a text away he always keeps me going. I love Brandon's holistic approach - every two weeks we talk about my sleep, my eating, my activity and even my mentality. He has a great way of gently pushing me to keep improving. And he always asks what he can do to improve as my coach as well. It really feels like a partnership. I would recommend working with Brandon no matter what stage in your exercise journey you are! read more

Brandon has been training us for about a year and a half now. He motivates, educates and helps us stay on the road to feeling healthier and fit. He knows the mechanics of the body and pushes just the right amount to keep us safe and keen for the next session!! He is an absolute gentleman and caring person I highly recommend him to get you on track with your health and fitness goals. We are committed to keeping it up !! Thanks to Brandon for this !!! read more

I had recently moved from San Francisco when I walked by Virtuo Fitness and thought to reach out. Being new to the neighborhood (and LA) I wasn't sure to expect and a bit intimidated by how many gyms there were. Shortly after reaching out, I easily made my first session with Keith, and I've been training with him ever since. Keith (and the rest of the crew) are friendly, outgoing, sorta funny ;) and good at what they do. Throughout college until now (at 30) I have had a handful of trainers. I left a great trainer back in San Francisco and feel extremely lucky to have run into Keith. I wanted to work on my person, both physically and mentally, having always struggled with body and self esteem issues. Keith is not only technically adept, but he pushes and encourages me beyond the gym itself. I feel like I'm gaining skills and motivation to remain consistent in my efforts from now until forever. Additionally, when a work out doesn't feel right or something has felt off in my body, he is sure to make sure we do preventative exercises / stretches and is really critical with form - which is great! I can confidently say my flexibility and strength have improved, and my nutrition is ~slowly~ getting better. If you're still reading this, Virtuo is a solid gym (equipment and all) with solid trainers. I highly recommend checking them out and seeing where it takes you! read more

One month ago I switched from an advanced and a busy jiu jitsu academy that I attended for at least 2-3x a week for four months to Virjitsu and It has been the best decision that I have made. I learned so much more here with "coach GILBERT" in one month than the four months at the other school. I switched because I was getting frustrated not learning anything in a class that sometimes can be as crowded with 20 students. It was hard for me to learn the fundamentals or retain anything. I tried watching all the techniques on YouTube but it doesn't do any good when you get thrown on the mat and told to roll? After seeing all the white belts rolling around just wasting energy and not knowing what to do and witnessing someone fractured their arm, it was time for me to look for a new place train. I found VIRJITSU looking through private training with a smaller class. After reading why Gilbert-started his program, I immediately called and booked a FREE session. The very next day, I signed up! He trains with a class no more than 10 students and goes at a pace for us white belts (you know what I mean). He makes sure that everyone respects one another and never roll aggressively as beginners. He wants us to understand the techniques he teaches us before moving on to the next. I now feel confident in what I'm doing. He stands by what he says and I highly recommend this gym! They also have personal training. The owner of the gym Brandon will email or text making sure I'm getting the expectation I signed up for. For anyone who wants to learn jiu jitsu without feeling intimidated, come join us. The monthly membership is the same of a busy school! I'm finally having fun and learning going to class! read more

My maid of honor and I trained with Eric earlier this year right before my wedding in April. Due to the pandemic, I had gotten really out of shape and wanted to look at least a bit more toned before the big day! Eric made our workouts not only challenging but a ton of fun! He is super supportive and positive. We always finished our workouts breathless. My friend and I have schedules that are all over the place but Eric made it work, he is simply the best trainer you could ask for - knowledgeable, fun, and motivating while kicking your butt :) read more

Years ago I struggled with having consistent, healthy eating habits. My work with Eric focused mainly on nutrition. He guided me through the nuances of meal prep: not just the mechanics, but the psychology behind it and how to make it a sustainable habit. Our session completely changed my mindset for the better. The experience will stay with me the rest of my life! read more

Brandon is a stellar personal trainer! I have been pretty active most of my life with running and then doing crossfit for the last 7 years. When I tore my meniscus in two places last year, the doc advised rehab and surgery down the road if absolutely needed. I reached out to Brandon in hopes that he might be able to help me rehab and get me back running again. Brandon was able to determine what my physical strengths and limits were and then set up a rehab program for me. I was able to get back into doing the things I love again without any surgery. A year later, a lot of the things I learned from him still stick with me helping to keep injury free. If you ever had a self doubt during your health/fitness journey and bring it to his attention, he will be a positive force in your back corner rooting for you. read more

Virtuo Personal Training - Great motivator! - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I needed some help figuring out a training program to reach my fitness goals. It was hard to research and implement a programming on top of my work schedule. Virtuo made this simple. Also, I wanted some extra eyes on my form for compound movements. Without the programming in place, I wasn't sure what the purpose of my training sessions were. I just went through the motions and eventually got stuck in a plateau. The biggest win was getting more comfortable with the deadlift. I was always hesitant because I didn't want to injure my back. But Coach Keith broke it all down into digestible steps and talked me through all the correct body cues. If you're already putting in the hours to working out, you might as well make sure each workout has purpose and intention. Let Virtuo help you with the programming. They made it really easy. read more

Thanks to Keith, I've shed 20 lbs and am on my way to maxing my physical fitness goals. I came to Virtuo to train for the Army Combat Fitness Test and to lose weight gained as a result of being 35 and sitting at a desk all day. I was immediately impressed by Keith's subject matter expertise and functional focus. I was concerned about injury with the deadlift, and he was able to explain the movement and provide cues that helped me understand how to safely train to achieve my goals. I decided to start working out at Virtuo because of their training philosophy and results, and my expectations have not only been met put surpassed. Keith's expertise and his motivation has helped me shed weight and increase results in all six test events with a combination of nutrition goals, in-person, and on my own programmed training. To anyone thinking of signing up, I'd say I've tried many different fitness and nutrition programs from personal training, group classes, various apps, and I've never been this consistent or achieved the results I've seen with Keith. Virtuo is super welcoming, get started, you won't regret it. read more

I was sold the dream by Eric the "grandmaster trainer" and signed up in spite of not being able to pay a one off fee and trial run even one full workout before committing 3 months up front. I was drawn in by his enthusiasm and by him saying "we can't legally advertise our program as bulletproof, but it is". They were very quick to swipe my credit card, and very slow to bring any value of my dollar. Eric preached that the nutritionist was the make or break difference in their program and that they should be charging more for what their program offers. After having a consultation where I detailed everything I eat for each meal, it took longer than expected after I paid up front to receive my initial meal plan - which was a 7 day meat based plan. I'm vegetarian. Then I was sent a 7 day vegetarian plan, which not a single day matched up to the macros I was calculated to need on my first day of training. Also didn't have one single food I ate or enjoyed and took my time to walk him through in our consultation. Felt like a google copy paste. On the third try, I was given one days worth of eating that matched my macros, which I was told to have for a week straight. Will just add that when I reminded them I was vegetarian I was told "If having a meat based plan is not financially doable, we can stick with the vegetarian plan". I've been vegetarian for 6 years and never for financial reasons. In terms of the training, there was no onboarding or expectation setting. It took a week to even know what apps I should have downloaded. I was given my first at home workout at 10pm the night before i anticipated doing it. The 2 in person workouts a week kicked my ass, but that's about the only positive comment I have to give. 2 weeks in I had a zoom with Eric and the nutritionist and cried to them because I was so frustrated and felt in the dark and had no idea what this program was offering me. I communicated clear actionables. - I was given 6 workouts a week in my app (once they told me what app to have) and communicated up front that I would only be working out 5 days/week. I asked then to understand what workouts I should be doing each day so that I don't feel like I'm missing something by choosing to leave one out myself - There were no weight recommendations in the workouts they programmed for me to do outside of the gym so I had no idea how to best push myself. I asked he recommend what weights to use when I'm on my own. - Accountability. I asked to be checked in on how my workouts were going outside of the 2 hours/week I was physically in the gym. They agreed these we're doable and we all ended the call in good spirits. 2.5 more weeks go by and none of these changes happened. I was met with: - "none of my other clientele need this but since you're confused I can consolidate from 6 to 5 workouts" - "none of my other clientele need this but I will put in a base weight for the initial weight of each exercise and it will be up to you to discipline yourself from there" (so what he meant by this is he'd tell me once to lift 25 pounds for a row and 3 months later I was expected to say oh ya know what in may I lifted 25 pounds so let me do 40 now) - He did not check in one single time, except said "how are those arms feeling" in the same text as asking me to fill out a liability form for the company. I asked to schedule a second time to chat with Eric, so we scheduled a call for the next morning after what would have been my 6am training session. He forewent my training session to have this conversation instead, to which he took no accountability for his lack of follow through - first accusing me of being "confused" and then apologizing on behalf of the nutritionist - never on behalf of himself. When I told him I was so frustrated and had no trust in this process, he said "well I know you had a hard week outside of the gym so I think you're bringing in frustration from other wakes of life". When I told him I wanted my money back he said "yeah it happens sometimes where it's just not a good match it's all good! Thanks!" And that was it. The owner (who I'd never heard from prior) called me the next day and did kindly (though while reminding me they never do refunds) gave me my outstanding money back in addition to refunding 2 used sessions, due to the poor quality. Listen, at $1000/month, for 2 sessions a week and, despite what they advertise, little else, I'd go somewhere else. read more

I let things go for a couple of years and decided to look for a strength and resistance training gym that was challenging and had a positive, friendly vibe. I found Vertuo and met with Brandon, the owner, who assessed my needs. He set me up with the fabulous Amelia Rowell. I have been training with Amelia for over 3 months, and have had great results already. She is challenging, knowledgable and fun to be with. The session hits every muscle group. Thank you, Amelia and everyone at Vertuo! read more

Best money I've spent in a long time. I thought I knew how to work out and why my body's limits were-- I was wrong. I'm in better shape than I've been in years but somehow, at Virtuo, tough workouts feel easy. Probably because I am so inspired by Keith, Sarita, and the rest of the team at Virtuo -- I've pushed past what I thought were my own limits and transformed my body. Keith has been a wonderfully effective coach in evolving my training program to my personal goals and pushing me to be better than I thought I could be. The space is clean and welcoming and.....has easy parking. The equipment is well cared for and it's never too crowded. read more
