Virtuo is a great place to kickstart your journey to improve your physical health. You won't find trainers more caring and passionate about helping you reach your goal. read more

Virtuo was my first experience with personal training and it has exceeded all of my expectations! Brandon has worked with me every step of the way, not only with my fitness goals but also in helping me solve lingering knee and ankle issues and as a resource for all things health and fitness related. It's been a pleasure being a part of Virtuo and I highly recommend it to anyone out there looking for personal training. read more

Just wanted to hop on here to quickly shout out Coach Eric. Good luck trying to not have fun or feel motivated when working out with him because he truly brings out the best in everyone! He's someone you want on your team if you're trying to improve your fitness or general well-being. He hypes you up, cheers you up, and pushes you outside of your comfort zone. It's rare to find someone who cares as much as Eric does, and anyone would be lucky to have him as their Coach! read more

Out of curiosity I walked in to this attractive storefront gym and met the trainer of my dreams Keith Barrett. We had a great conversation without a hard sell and was impressed by his knowledge, enthusiasm and personality. After booking a one time free session with Keith I discovered I would really benefit from Keith's enthusiasm, knowledge and respect for my capabilities and hopes of improving my goals of added aerobic exercise, endurance and strength. We meet weekly for an hour and it's always a satisfying workout with just enough "burn" and fun doing it! I always look forward to my workouts with Keith. Our time together goes by so quickly. The gym is clean, friendly staff, and good music read more

Just completed a 45 day reset. The guidance was great, and they provided a lot of positive support. Recommended! Shout out to Jonathan and Brandon as they helped a lot with meal tracking and they make the challenge fun and helped me to be better equipped to reach my goals! read more

I want to say Brandon is the kind of CPT everyone needs but I'm hesitant because I don't want more clients to cloud up his schedule, but this is not about me. He is smart, positive, but not extra. He doesn't push, demean, or act aggressively. His PT ethos seem to be that of "total health and wellness" without taking shortcuts. His background as an athlete creates an environment of teamwork and that is super inspiring as it keeps me engaged to do my part, contribute with hard work, and trust the process. Brandon's approach is careful and considerate of my back injuries, and he is great at teaching people awareness of their physiology. I strongly recommend him for a positive changes! read more

Keith is an AMAZING trainer and partner on my fitness journey. He is skilled at what he does and I appreciate that he takes a holistic approach to fitness and health. Instead of dreading my work outs, I now look forward to them. We have made amazing progress in a relatively short period of time and I am excited to continue working with him. I would HIGHLY recommend. read more

Coach Eric is probably one of the best coaches out there. I'm not usually good at working out but Eric finds way to make it enjoyable and still having me push myself without feeling overwhelmed. As a someone who is non-binary working out with Eric is nice and comfortable because he's very respectful and willing to listen. read more

I I've had such a great experience working with Brandon over the years.. this guy is a wizard when it comes to Health , mind and Physical training! Because of covid I wasn't able to train with a trainer and During the last few months I had challenges putting on muscle even though I was going to the gym 4-5 times a week.. I reached out to Brandon and he put a program in place specifically designed to hit my fitness goals and tailored to my crazy work schedule.. I'm in my 3rd month and gained 7 pounds and close to 5 pounds of muscle.. One last thing ... the communication with him is key! He's already checking in and keeping me accountable on the daily .. I'm super grateful for his mentorship! I highly recommend Brandon especially if you have a crazy work schedule .. read more

I have been a client of Eric's since the end of 2021 and grateful for his patience and expertise. In the more then 6 months training with Eric, I feel more fit, stronger and increased my range of motion. Eric has been great at assessing my fitness level and building from there, keeping the workouts challenging. I see progress and feel like Eric is invested in advancing my fitness goals. read more

I have enjoyed training with Sarita. I've been at the gym now for 2.5 months. She mixes up the exercises but with enough consistency to really learn the proper way to lift / squat / etc while being mindful of my lower back issues. The gym is nice and clean with updated equipment. I do feel better and stronger after training but I haven't lost any weight on the scale which is extremely frustrating and un-motivating. It was the reason I signed up for the help. I had been going up and down the same 5 lbs for one year and I'm still in the same situation. I signed up for the 3 month nutrition + training. If I had to do it all over again , I wouldn't sign up for the nutrition part because the only thing they really told me was how many calories to stay at. I have had a calorie counter app on my phone since 2015, so I just continue counting on there. There weren't any other check ins from the nutritionist unless I showed frustration or had a quick q in which he did reply . So I don't think the nutrition aspect of the package is necessary unless you are a first time dieter and you have no clue what to eat and how to count calories. They do weigh ins which have been sporadic but that's not very accurate either bc it's different from my own scale at home plus the obvious fact that you have clothing on etc. If I were Virtuo, I would offer to do measurements. I would have suggested it earlier but I only recently remembered that years ago when I was working with a trainer, she measured me every few weeks and seeing the inches go down gave great satisfaction and that's something that's nice to have someone do for you and document rather than do yourself at home. Also, I would do without the virtual check ins from the concierge. You want a gym to feel personal. I don't like answering to machines and robots. I don't like generic check ins from an automated computer either. That's my own personal feeling about automated texts, especially from a place you're going in to weekly. Overall, if you're looking for a a place to get one on one training in a small setting that isn't a big sweaty gym, I would recommend training here. Convenient, clean, and you will feel better in your body. read more

This business is a hidden gem that checks all the boxes and is a 10/10 for personal training studios! I've been looking for the right personal trainer for years and am grateful I found Virtuo. Their team of trainers goes above and beyond to make sure their clients are set up for success and even has a rewards program that I've never seen implemented at a gym before. Very clean studio as well! The trainers + staff really make an effort to take such good care of their clients, have infectious energy (so much so that my sessions with my trainer Brandon are often times the highlight of my day!) and are well versed in many areas of health and wellness! I came to Virtuo with a goal to lose body fat for my wedding and I've not only met my goal, but have been able to keep the fat off for 6 months now! Their approach to training and accountability have empowered me to master my nutrition and maintain balance with a macro approach (yes I drink wine and eat burgers) while still achieving my fat loss goals. Thank you Virtuo team for helping me on my fitness journey and for all that you do! If you're in the area I'd highly recommend Virtuo for your fitness journey. Or if you're not in the area, they have online/remote programs as well! read more

I've trained with Coach Eric for years. Never met a guy so welcoming. He goes above and beyond for everyone he trains. Always finds a way to make the workout sesh exciting and always finds a way to motivate you in a best way possible. He talks about the right food to eat to cater your body towards specific direction. Thanks to his trainings, I was able to achieve doing events like marathons, Ironman triathlons, and Spartans. He is more of a friend to me than a trainer at this point. Not only did he showed light through this healthy new lifestyle, but he motivates me to be a positive person in general. Being with him is a life changing experience and I hope more people get to see Eric for who he is. read more

Firstly, I've never written a review in my life and never plan to write another one after. Ten months ago, I googled "best personal trainers near me" and decided Virtuo was the winner, which has been the best impulsive decision I've made. Jonathan cares about his clients' needs, listens to them, and wants them to succeed and accomplish their goals. He takes the time to explain the benefits of each movement, makes sure you are using the proper form and is knowledgeable. He puts up with my whining after every squat but still manages to trick me into finishing every single one and got me to grocery shop and eat proper meals, not just smoothies. I look forward to our weekly sessions because I can see the results and changes in my body. Lastly, Jonathan is a DIE-HARD Drake fan so make sure to blast Drake's Top Hits all session! My relationship with the gym has shifted from nightmare to fun, thanks to Jonathan. If you are looking for a team who goes the extra mile and delivers results, not just promises, then Virtuo is the place. read more

Where do I begin? I've had a number of personal trainers over the years. Most were good. But Brandon is a cut above. He balances all the factors necessary--nutrition, rest, and of course, variety, frequency, movement quality, and amount of work--to push you to who you want to be. He both knows what he's talking about and can push you to a kick ass workout. And funny, to boot! No one cracks a dad joke like this one. Honestly though, do yourself a favor and reach out to him. read more

I am very happy that I joined the Virtuo family this year. This is my first time with a personal trainer and I could not ask for better support! I was looking to educate myself in the basics of training so I could improve my posture and tone my body. I am pleased to say that I am reaching my goals and feel great and will continue working with Virtuo Fitness. My trainer Keith has made all sessions fun and goal oriented. He has helped me overcome some of my challenges with ankle inflexibiltiy so I could improve my squat. He is a great teacher who is very kind and believes in my potential. I would highly recommend Virtuo Fitness as a great way to begin or continue your journey in strength training. The trainers are compassionate and motivating and the gym has everything you need! read more

Coach Eric definitely is genuinely the nicest guy you'll meet! But that doesn't mean his workouts are easy.....dAmN! He beat my ass like literally! If you want a six pack wash board ab or even a six pack on your chin...he's the one to contact! read more

I've always had trouble with my nutrition, I'm sure that is the same for most people. I tried all the diets and meal plans out there. They were either too expensive or just too hard to stick too. I found Coach Brandon and he created some customized meal plans for me. It was pretty easy at first and the recipes were delicious. I saw some great progress within 2-3 weeks into the new nutrition plan. When I started to fall off my nutrition, Coach Brandon was there messaging me and keeping me accountable. If you're looking for some great nutrition or fitness plans with a great coach to keep you accountable and keep you on track to your fitness goals. Coach Brandon and Virtuo Personal Training are what you need. The Virtuo Team is very knowledgeable and super supportive with each of their clients. read more

When I reached out to Virtuo, I wanted to lose weight and look better. I took advantage of their free session to survey the place, checkout the trainers, and get a free workout . After I schedule the free session, I got a video message from Eric confirming the date and time - I thought that was a classy start - putting a face on a name so that at least I know who I will be dealing with. During the free session, Eric asked questions to get to know my goals, what I want to achieve, what my expectations are, etc., etc.. Then the trial workout started - he showed me shorter version of what to expect during actual sessions. Was I impress? I believe I was more impress on Eric's the sincerity and genuine attitude to help me achieve my goals. In addition, he explained to me some things that we usually take for granted and ignore that is also important for one's overall well-being. At that point, I was ready to sign up for the program without even discussing the cost. So when I joined Virtuo, my perspective have changed - I wanted to not only lose weight but gain flexibility, strength, and stability (things that I took for granted); not just to look better, but to feel better overall (something that I have ignored) Eric partnered me with Jonathan (aka Johnny) who happens to be their in-house nutritionist. Jonathan went through the whole script about nutrition, and the need to measure what I eat. I am not a fan of counting calories, and add to that counting protein, carbs and fats. Since I already paid for the program, I did what I was asked to do. Then for the workout, at first I thought they were simple movements, however, when Jonathan shows you the correct way of doing it and explains the rationale of the movement and what muscles is being used, I soon recognized that it is not simple at all, plus, you also need to use your brain so your body will be able to do it right. Thank goodness Jonathan is always keeping a close watch making sure I am doing it correctly. I also realized how uncoordinated I am and how weak my muscles are. So, with all these, after just a few sessions, I started to feel the difference - I feel more energized, a bit stronger and can last the whole day feeling I can do more. I also feel that my chronic shoulder pain feels much better, and I am getting better sleep. Thanks to Johnny for being patient and flexible with our workout routine to address my aches and pain (I do whine a lot ) and making sure my form and movements are correct. I believe that joining Virtuo was one of the best decisions I made - I was searching for just a gym and a personal trainer, instead, I found a family who would look out for your overall health and fitness. They encourage you, they believe in you and on top of that, they are fun to be with. Again, thanks to Eric for showing me what Virtuo has to offer and kudos to Jonathan, one of the best trainer I've worked with. He not only has the knowledge but also the passion and patience to share what he knows. It's hard when you're getting old and feeling old - however with trainer like Jonathan (and of course Eric and actually anybody from the Virtuo fitness team), age is just a number as they will definitely make you feel young and energized. read more

Nothing but good things to say about this gym. Fitness has been a pretty consistent thing in my lifetime for the last 10-12 years and I reached another point where I wanted to "up" my training. Group fitness and working out alone wasn't doing it for me, so I wanted to finally get a one on one experience - and I'm so happy I did at this gym. When I first went into Virtuo, I met with Brandon, the owner who was super knowledgeable about the body and fitness overall and he was just easy to talk to. The gym itself had everything I needed and was very well kept, so making the decision to pull the trigger was easy. I'm so happy I did. This place has become a home to me. The coaches are great. The other members that I've met seem to really love it too. Nothing but good things to say about this gym.

Eric is one of the most genuine, helpful, and caring coaches I've ever had. I was skeptical to even try having a coach but after working with him specifically, I didn't want to go back. He helped me understand form, the variances with lifting, balancing cardio with muscle growth, nutrition, and making sure I was engaged with stretching and self care. He's very approachable and will put his whole heart into being your coach! Highly recommend. read more

Keith and Brandon changed my DNA physically,emotionally, and metaphorically. When I first started training i was what we call "skinny fat" or thick but with little muscle tone. These two men transformed me, my confidence is back, my jawline has never been more defined, my abs washable, my arms ripped and ready for bathing suit season. Thank you for this little oasis! read more

I came to Virtuo Personal Training because I needed to get back on track with my fitness and rejuvenate my mundane workout routine. The facility is fully equipped with what you need to achieve your fitness goals. My trainer, Brandon, is well-versed and knowledgeable in getting his clients in for good personalized workouts and keeping them on track to reach their personal goals. Brandon and his team of trainers at Virtuo Personal Training are a ten out of ten. read more

Working with Jonny has been amazing! He's super detailed, explains things clearly, and is focused on both functionality of movement and meeting my goals. He has helped me to fix some issues that previous trainers ignored. The space and environment at Virtuo is also great! Highly recommended. read more

Coach Eric is by far one of the best coaches you can train with. I was doing his workouts for a couple years and always felt they helped push you further than just going to the gym. Great work and hope to train with you again some day, Eric! read more

I'v been training with Brandon for over 7 months now, and his work is amazing!! He is super professional and focused on the workout and he explains everything as simple as possible. The workout plan is always different, so you will not get bored at all! If you wanna make a big change on your body, you found the right guy read more

I rarely post on Yelp, but wanted to share my appreciation for the Virtuo Personal Training team and my trainer Eric. I had a hard time jumping back into a fitness routine after an injury last year. I happened to stumble on Virtuo while walking down Melrose and was blown away by how welcoming the team and space was. I signed up a few days later and am now about 4 months into my new routine. Eric guides me through workouts that are safe for my injury but also push me to be a stronger, better athlete. The space is bright and clean, with only 1 or 2 clients max at a time. Highly recommend! read more

Trying to get in shape while working from home and dealing with mental fatigue from the pandemic has been challenging. I decided to try working with a trainer since I figured it would help me stay accountable. Ive passed by Virtuo multiple times since I live around the corner but never went as far as inquiring. I'm glad I finally did because my experience has been amazing. Everyone here makes you feel right at home. I started working with Eric and all my fears about squatting went out the door. In the past I would avoid squats because of knee issues and not understanding proper form but Eric has changed that. I've also lost a significant amount of weight and have already started seeing muscle. 5/5 stars. I highly recommend this place. Shout out to Keith, Eric and Brandon and everyone else here. read more

Ok, so, let me start by saying that I spent a significant amount of time at a really great gym in LA, pre-Covid, that was group fitness with incredible individual attention. So my bar for what a "great" gym is, is high. But then Covid happened, and it obviously changed everything in the world, but it devastated mine; well, specifically my body & mind. I got Covid pre-vaccine availability and it destroyed me. I spent 22 months in a bed, couldn't form a sentence for 6 months, and because of my taste and smell coming back incredibly warped, I could only eat plain boiled potatoes, certain types of yellow cheese, and the only thing I could drink was Dr. Pepper. For 17 months. Everything else tasted & smelled like feces, vomit, wet dog, or sulfur. Everything. Even water. So I went from doing HIIT Training 5 days/wk, boxing 2 days/wk, and running 5-6 miles everyday for 4 years (pre-Covid)....to being bed bound, unable to comprehend anything, speak anything, couldn't sleep for 9 days at a time, and only being able to choke down starch (potatoes) & sugar (Dr. Pepper). By the time I got the mobility enough to get in a pool to learn how to walk again, I had put on 92 lbs. It was devastating and I honestly, for several months, couldn't imagine getting better. Not only from Covid, but now having to rebuild my body & lungs with an additional 92 lbs on me, that my body was NOT used to. My journey rebuilding my body and mind this past year has been intense. There have been many stepping stones on this path back to life, but I will skip to the part where Virtuo comes in. I tell you that whole backstory so that you know that when I walked in to meet with Brandon (the owner) for our first session/goal setting discussion, he had his work cut out with me. I had been crawling my way back from death for 10 months at that point. I had already lost 70 lbs on my own and had been swimming to safely ease my joints back into activity. I could stand strongly again, but couldn't jog or do any strength stuff. I had stalled in my recovery. I knew I needed to start rebuilding strength outside of the water, but knew my joints, bones, etc were not strong enough to endure a lunge or squat or any other normal gym movement. I needed a trainer to help me continue to rebuild safely. Brandon was not even a little bit nervous. He was also not dismissive of my aggressive goals. I wasn't just looking to rebuild; I wanted to lose weight and become athletic again. He assigned me to have Jonathan as my trainer. Man, he nailed it. This review is starting to feel like a novel, so I'll try to make this last part succinct. I haven't even hit my 3 months with them & I've already lost 30 lbs. I've regained muscles, mobility, and endurance. But more than that, I've regained the feeling that I can actually be strong again. That my best days in my body are not behind me. And that I can do hard things. I am lunging with weights. I'm squatting with weights. Tonight, I ran 6 miles. I can't tell you how much this means to me. I have been able to do these things with the guidance of Jonny & Brandon. And the support of every trainer that is in the building during my sessions. They are all such genuine people who know their shit, but simultaneously feel the least like "trainers." (That's a compliment, by the way) Jonny knows all of my work drama, what movies I love, and how I never count the first rep. I know all about Jonny's studies, volunteer work, favorite movies, and how bad he is at counting. It's the best. He puts up with my constant shit talk & doesn't skip a beat in giving it right back. They're just all really, really good at their jobs. And genuinely care. They are constantly checking in to make sure I feel supported and that I feel like I'm getting the most out of their expertise. I do. I feel like I've found a hidden gem of health professionals that care more about aiding their clients' journeys than they do about making money. It's refreshing & honestly, life-breathing. So, if you've read this far.... first, take a nap because your eyes probably hurt. But, then just give them a call and set up an intro meeting. Worst case scenario, you'll get a free workout in, and get to meet some dope people that you'll want to find a way to work with. Ok, bye. read more

I started out at Virtuo with a goal of losing 15 pounds. They were thorough with getting my health and fitness history and laying out a roadmap for the 3 months it would take to achieve my goal. After 3 months of diet and personal training, I had not reached my goal. To be transparent I was very frustrated with the situation; however, I will say that Brandon made it right. He let me work with their health coach until I hit my goal weight and was 100% satisfied with my results. Now I go to their Saturday group classes which are so awesome. While my fitness journey was a bit rocky they came through to make the situation right which proved to me they are committed to actually helping their clients. I'm totally satisfied and happy with my results and time spent with them! read more

I've worked with dozens of Trainers over the years. It is very rare to find a Trainer with the expertise, education and willingness to personally invest that Brandon brings to the relationship. I have recommended several friends to Brandon - both in personal and virtual. He has helped them with everything from weight-loss to prepping for a fitness show, but the one thing he provides every client is improved self confidence! read more

Gilbert's coaching, guidance, and all around great and fun energy has been so helpful in me reaching my goals. He's guided me towards becoming more aware-- physically but also mentally and how I carry myself on a daily basis. I work from home each day and we do a lot of work trying to reverse the tension I often feel in my neck and shoulders. I've been an athlete my whole life and Gilbert has taught me so much I never knew and has also reversed a lot of what I thought I knew. We do prevention training and all kinds of strength training and have so much fun! I look forward to it every single week and feel at my best after our workouts! read more

i started with Virtuo Fitness a little over a month now. Gilbert is taking me to another level of training. He is so knowledgeable about the human body and what to do to make you stronger. I already feel my body changing in strength and my gait is improving as the weeks go by. All the trainers are super professional and encouraging. I look forward to my workouts and recommend Virtuo to anyone who wants to get into optimal physical condition. read more

I had the pleasure of working out with Coach Eric for about a year plus. He has a great attitude and is a good communicator. He breaks things down for you and finds alternative solutions if you are injured or need to substitute movements. He listens and gives constructive feedback. He's energetic and pushes you in a positive way. That was something I needed. He pushed me a lot if he knew I wasn't pushing and holding myself accountable. That always helped me accomplish more in my lifts. Can't wait to workout and be coached by him again. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Coach Eric! His workouts are intense and has always pushed me. I trained with him for a couple years and saw drastic improvements in my strength and endurance. Coach Eric will go above and beyond to help you achieve your fitness goals! His positivity and enthusiasm is so infectious. He is the best coach I have ever trained with by far! read more

This has been my best experience with any personal trainer I have ever gone to or trained with. The gym is equipped with everything, the entire team is great and knowledgeable. the trainers will set you up with a meal plan that's easy to follow and really curated for your personal needs. I was having a lot of issues with my knee, and my trainer Jonny was able to pinpoint the root of that issue when even my doctor couldn't. They're all very attentive and honest. I have been recommending Virtuo to everyone I know that wants to live a truly healthier lifestyle. read more

Coach Eric is awesome! He is patient, supportive and full of positive energy every time I work out with him. Hs training is very challenging, but he always help me pushes my limit effectively, and watch for my condition to not get hurt. He helped me getting stronger in all aspect strength, cardio, and flexibility. Coach Eric is a great guy and also a great trainer. Looking forward to work out with Eric again some day read more

The BEST online LIVE workout! With coach Mel!! Workouts are tailored to me and are fun! She's encouraging and pays attention to detail. It's amazing how she can make what seems like the smallest changes in my position and or posture and it makes the exercise feel right! It's as if though she was physically in the room with me. I'm a new mom and am able to get my workout in before my husband leaves for work. It has done wonders for my mental health! I absolutely recommend Virtuo and coach Mel to anyone with limited time. Try it you won't regret it! read more

I highly recommend Virtuo for anyone looking for the best personal trainers. I have been working with Jonathan and Eric. Both are motivating, attentive, flexible with scheduling, and have crafted challenging workout routines that challenge my fitness. The gym itself is top notch, clean, and low stress. read more

After trying to work out at home and gaining weight in 2020, I knew I needed to make a change. As someone who barely went to the gym pre-COVID, I was intimated at the thought of weightlifting and training in general. Then I met Coach Eric, who completely changed my life. He put me at ease, listened to me, encouraged me, and helped me to continue to achieve personal record after personal record in the gym. He's hilarious (and with a killer workout playlist) and taught me everything I needed to do know to start and thrive in my workout journey. He makes working out fun and accessible - for both those experienced and for beginners like me. I can't recommend him enough and hope everyone gets to experience his warmth, knowledge, and fitness/training advice in their life. He's truly the best! read more
