Lance is a rare gem for fitness in LA. He actively strives to keep his prices reasonable out of…read moreethics and respect for his clients, although he could easily raise them, as he's always fully booked. He will often sacrifice his own workout time to accommodate a client. Since I can't do personal training as often as I'd like, Lance created a personalized "Push Day" and "Pull Day" program for me that I can take to the gym and do on my own. He doesn't judge you and genuinely cares. He has celebrity clients and has trained some huge names, yet he makes me feel equally important. His new studio location is full of brand new equipment and is in a cool spot in Glassell Park near all the new restaurants there. Plus his dog Bud is adorable! He'll hang out with you while you work out, so you get a dose of animal therapy too. I worked with Lance a while back but fell off. Lance has actively encouraged me to get back into motion. I am now restarting my fitness journey after some time off due to his support. It's wonderful to feel like you have an ally in something so important and so personal. Thanks, Lance.

A few months back I decided it was finally time to get serious about losing my lockdown weight, and…read moreI couldn't be happier to have found Lance! I feel like all of our workouts are tailored to me and my needs, and he has a kind of 6th sense for tightening up and improving my form in ways I would never have thought of. It's been the best investment I've made in the past few years. He's also a great dude and I felt comfortable with him right away, and has an extremely cute dog. Lance is awesome and you'll get an excellent workout with him

I met Henry about 2 years ago when he joined as one of the athletic coach's at Burbank High school…read more From the first day he's always been full of great and positive energy training our players and offered to train me as well. I've been training with Henry for 2 years now working on speed, agility strength and have learned and seen massive improvements. As a soccer player I never really went to the gym and thought it was a waste of time but Henry has taught me the importance of off the field work, how to fuel my body, and most importantly take care of my body. He's positive energy and motivation has kept me pushing and wanting to train more with him. He always pushes me to reach my maximum potential and he truly is the best trainers out there.

After years of being terrified to enter a gym because 1) I felt unsure about how to structure a…read moreworkout, 2) I was overweight and felt insecure about my body, and 3) I HATED working out, I have finally found a gym and a trainer that make me look forward to exercising. I have been working with Henry for about a month now, and I already feel like this will be the place that I'll be coming for the rest of my life. As a trainer, Henry is kind, patient, and encouraging, but he will also push you because he knows you're capable of it. He is also a truly gifted teacher, and he's been helping me learn about proper form and how to structure my workouts so that I can avoid injury. I also really appreciate that Henry tailors his work with you based upon your own goals. Learning how to work out properly was really important to me, and he's gone out of his way to help me understand how to exercise in a way that never makes me feel silly or weird for not already knowing this stuff. I genuinely look forward to my workouts with Henry -- a sentence I never thought that I would say! If you're someone like me who has struggled with finding a comfortable gym environment, I cannot recommend Henry or the other amazing trainers at this gym enough. I feel so grateful to have found this place!!

It takes patience and commitment. Lee has been there for me. I feel good and I'm happy with my results.

I've been doing personal training with Lee for a couple months now and I cannot say enough about…read morehow much they've helped me feel good in my body. They pay attention to keeping me safe during exercises, making sure I'm holding my body properly and they always emphasize that it's about doing a move slowly, safely and well so that you feel good/not in pain. I'm so much stronger now, and a lot of the pain I went into training with has subsided because they listened to what I needed/wanted and have tailored exercises to address these needs while also adding new moves to strengthen my whole body. I love Lee and highly recommend them as a trainer. Also check out their classes -- they're so much fun, they're challenging in a good way, and the music/vibes are always on point.

I started working out at Lift two months ago, and I absolutely love it…read more The workouts are effective and efficient, and, if you're a nerd like me, it's interesting to hear Dirk and Chenell talk about how the movements strengthen different muscle groups. They're always nearby to make sure my form is correct, and they never lose patience when I ask them to remind me how to do certain moves. Speaking of supervision, I went to Lift today for the first time in about a week and a half, and I told Chenell that I've been experiencing some pain in my left shoulder. She sent Dirk outside to talk to me about it, and after I described my symptoms, he re-wrote part of my workout and continued to check in to make sure I wasn't in any pain. I felt super safe and respected, and there was ZERO pressure for me to push through any discomfort. Hiiiighly recommend this place!

Chenell and Dirk run this incredible gym, and they've somehow managed to create that rare combo of…read morebeing incredibly knowledgeable while also just being genuinely good humans. The environment is welcoming, supportive, and most importantly, safe in every way. As a woman, that matters more than it should, but here we are, still at that point in this dumb world, unfortunately. I have never once felt uncomfortable working out there. The gym itself has six stations, which makes it feel like a semi-private training experience and all of the training is with free weights. Every workout is tailored specifically to me, which is a huge benefit. I'm a former ballerina with injuries and fibromyalgia, so I need a lot of modification in my training, depending on the day. They always meet me where I am at and we adjust as needed. They also still manage to keep things challenging when I express wanting to push further but it is always in a way that feels safe and productive. One thing I especially appreciate, coming from a dance background, is how much they focus on body mechanics. Dirk, Chenell, and Emily don't just tell you what to do or demo it once and walk away. They actually take the time to explain what's happening in your body, how to move correctly, and why it matters. Over the past almost five years, I've gotten noticeably stronger and my body has changed for the better but beyond that, it's had a real impact on my mental health, too. Showing up here feels good; so good, that I recommend the gym to many of my friends. If you're looking for a place to train and a workout that's personal and supportive with real results, this is the place.

This time last year I felt incredibly uncomfortable in my own skin. I grew up competitively…read moreswimming and am now an avid runner. I was active and happy with my body. Throughout college and a year or two into the pandemic running was enough. But over the past year coming out of the pandemic and now being in my late 20's, my body started to change and running just wasn't enough. Running and swimming was all I knew and generically speaking my predisposition to easily retaining muscle made me terrified to lift. I felt stuck and was fearful that I would need to turn to plastic surgery to get my body back. Leo was the first trainer to actually take the time to hear me and just listen to the issues that I conveyed. He was honest and luckily knew the kind of training that I would need in order to get the lean and strong physique back that I have always had. It wasn't until I spoke to Leo and put his advice into action that I started to feel comfortable and confident again. I had spoken to master trainers and celebrity trainers and Leo was the only person who truly listened to my concerns. The confidence I feel in myself today is priceless. I am so grateful to have met him.
