Wow, this place is amazing! Not only beautiful by design and flow, but a super clean fitness facility designed specifically for the 50 year old and above individuals. Discovered this gym from the Next Door app, a neighbor recommended it. Went to check it out, toured the fitness center, signed up last month after contemplating if we wanted to really commit to the lifestyle changes we needed and truly wanted to make. It's been a few weeks now so I want to give an honest review. First, the gym is more of a contemporary wellness center/fitness center. It is refreshing, innovative and the cleanest gym I've ever belonged to. Our gym experience in a historical background perspective - been a gym member at 24Hr in my 20's-40's Gold's gym in my 40's-50's, so for decades- belonged to a gym, and frequented regularly. Also last 8 years had our own home gym equipment. Had to sell the home gym equipment to make room for the grandchild's crib! So here we are. We were in search of a gym once again. This is a family owned business and the owners are health conscious. One can see they put a lot of thought into this small business. They have NEW state of the art equipment, with technology-app enhanced features which helps with tracking one's fitness. There's professional physical therapy trainers and consultants for nutrition/dietician, massage specialists, trainers that are there to support and teach not to merely sell you. Two group classrooms for yoga, balance, stretch, chair, core classes, etc.. it's a wide range of activities which I haven't had the chance to participate in yet but will in the future. There are extracurricular activities for community building and social support. I really like that feature. As people get older it is often challenging to find friends and a social support network. They help build that in. I can see how this is such an added bonus for retirees. I'm not quite there yet but very forward thinking, I love it. Great concepts fulfilling human social and developmental needs. There are 3 levels of membership. I was able to join through my Active & Fit employer membership for $32/month per person for access to facilities;the "core" level membership. Classes in core enrollment level is $18 per class. Wish the classes were inclusive at the core membership level. However, one can join higher tier membership like the Infinity level at $85 month and get unlimited everything and many additional benefits to all their offered activities. The one concern and recommendation I'd have for AIM is to get Guest WiFi up and running in order for the apps to run faster and have a better connection. It is a bit frustrating at times when it is not connecting to the equipment. Obstacles can be annoying. The equipment includes cardio-treadmills, ellipticals, recumbent cycles, recumbent elliptical, working both arms and legs, strength training machines, free weights, etc. they really have so much it is more than any person would want. The gym is well lit, fun music from our generation (baby boomers and forward) and a spacious clean feeling throughout the gym. The staff is helpful, friendly and professional. Check it out! Tell them, Cathy from Yelp sent you! Let's get healthy! read more

Always in Motion on Warner in Huntington Beach is definitely a facility I recommend. Along with being a very clean gym, it offers many diverse classes and individual help. Their equipment is unlike any I have seen and appears to be helping many even with limited abilities. It is for age 5o and older and the staff is very caring and knowledgeable. After a disappointing lack of results from another PT location, I was very happy to find this place. I was impressed with the first appointment which reviewed my xrays and MRI to design a custom program for me. I am happy to report that my pain is diminished in duration and intensity thanks to Justin Isaac's work with me. read more

Over my long lifetime, I joined several gyms. A couple were exclusive and a couple were at the opposite end. I finally found my perfect gym. It's Always In Motion in Huntington Beach. I don't go to the gym in fancy expensive clothes designed to show off my curves, which are now curvier than I like, I go because I know it's good for me. Two days after I joined Always In Motion in January 2025, I fell over a ladder and broke my femur and my hip. After two weeks in the hospital and Medicare-provided physical therapy, I knew I needed something more concentrated if I was going to regain muscle and strength which was totally gone over 2 months. Always In Motion has a very highly educated and committed staff of physical therapists who have specific training in geriatric rehab. I signed on with one, Jake, who set up a personalized program to get me back walking normally and rebuild muscles lost from two months being bedridden. It was tough at first but with the variety of equipment that they have and the patient and challenging training I received I got stronger and stronger, and when I went back to the doctor for my 2nd postoperative visit he was absolutely amazed. He wanted to know all about my PT and basically told me that whatever we were doing just keep doing it --so I am! I am almost ready to dump my cane and resume a normal life after less than four months living with two titanium rods, and four screws in my leg. Always In Motion isn't just for people recovering however, there is a large collection of "over the hill"people who are working out there to stay mobile. There's a wide variety of programs and classes you can join and some really amazingly diverse equipment in a clean and welcoming environment. I am fortunate that my insurance program covers my monthly cost as it does for many people. If you're over 50 and trying to keep yourself in good shape or get healthier and stronger, this might be your best option. I have really enjoyed talking to other older adults there as we all seem to have the same goals. It's nice to be in an environment which isn't a "meet market" geared to younger gym goers. There's machines for everything you want to work out and free weights are in abundance. This group has really helped me get back on my feet. I appreciate their commitment to my rehab and my life! read more

Always In Motion - New variety of equipment - Trainers Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

See all

I have had the pleasure of working with the team at Always in Motion for almost 5 years. They are, in my opinion, the best group of professional training and overall coaches in my quest to stay mobile and healthy as I get older. I am in better shape then when I was younger. I love the classes, I receive great feedback and get to enjoy the company of like minded people. We are all at different levels but there's a respect and support that exists at Always in Motion. We are challenged but aware of where we are in the daily goal of exercise. I always get my questions and concerns addressed immediately when I'm trying to do a different type of exercise routine. I love it. It's my happy place. I highly recommend this business. read more

I'm a lifetime wheelchair user and had lived very actively and independently all my adult life until contracting Covid and subsequent long Covid in 2021. I felt I was becoming more and more incapable of caring for myself as well as depressed and socially withdrawn. A dear friend convinced me to visit AIM and I signed up for personal training with Jake to improve my core strength and mobility. It's been nearly 8 months and I could not be happier! The facility is beautiful and very assessable, Jake and the rest of the staff are amazing. Everyone is caring, respectful and friendly. I'm feeling so much better doing my activities of independent living and my mind is clearer with my depression lifting. It's a judgement free wellness center with encouraging, staff and happy clients. read more

Lori Isaacs in less than half a year has transformed my body and my mental outlook. I came to her overweight with a variety of aches and pains, including sciatica and knee pain. She expertly evaluated my condition and then carefully constructed a series of ever-evolving workouts that push me with a variety of natural strength and TRX resistance drills. I look and feel like a new person. Lori is also very kind, a great listener--super intuitive. I really appreciate the time she puts into planning everyone's training schedules. She mixes it up so the body never gets bored with the same routines. read more

I started my journey with Justin in June 2023. He helped me gain confidence and strength for my up coming hip replacement surgery in February 2024. I had the surgery and four mont(s later after physical therapy I returned to their new facility on Warner in Huntington Beach. I have been working with my personal trainer Sami and I can't tell you how wonderful this establishment is. Of course my trainer is the greatest but the entire staff goes above and beyond to make your visit special. AIM is always clean and the equipment is the best in town. Please make a visit into this warm and comfortable place. You will feel welcomed as soon as you walk in read more

If you are looking for a way to feel great and get stronger, look no further than Always in Motion. I noticed as I got older I was feeling weaker and unmotivated to workout myself. I started training with Lori Issacs and I couldn't be happier. Besides being super upbeat and encouraging, Lori is an extremely knowledgeable trainer, developing a customized training program just for me based on my needs! She clearly explains how to do each exercise in the plan so I can workout on my own and stay injury free. At first I was nervous about going and now it's honestly the most enjoyable part of my week. I'm challenged and always feel great when I leave. I can feel the strength I've gained in my everyday activities. Besides Lori, the entire staff at Always in Motion are amazing people. I love that I'm greeted with a smile, treated with care and compassion, and always feel welcome. If you are not unsure, I'd like to encourage you to get off the couch and get over to Always in Motion. You'll be glad you did! read more

I have been with Always in Motion since September of 2021. I initially started out with five personal training sessions with Mark Sheptock. Then I joined his Osteoblast Class to continue to try to improve my bone health. I'm thrilled to report that I reversed my osteoporosis of my left hip to osteopenia in only four short months! Previously my T-score was -2.6. Now my T-score is -2.2. In the last five years whenever I'd have my bone scan, my numbers remained stable. This year I actually saw improvement. I know it was because I had been on Mark's program to help improve my bone density through weight-bearing exercises. His class is fun, educational, and inspiring! My husband and son also see Mark for their physical therapy needs. We highly regard him as a trusted and true professional! read more

Review of Always in Motion physical therapy. As an 86-year-old male, I could not walk without having a deep fear of falling. My balance was terrible and I had to rely on a walker to get by. Neuropathy robbed me of feeling anything but pain in my calves. After several falls requiring the aid of the Huntington Beach Emergency Response Team, I decided to enlist the aid of a balance specialist--one of my good decisions. Justin Isaacs showed up on my doorstep. He was very personable. Justin explained the long-term and short-term plans for improving my balance. We went to work on all of my balance systems, improving my posture and strengthening my leg muscles. Working with Justin has been not only pleasurable but also productive. He has a great sense of humor. He has never been late for a session, and when necessary, he will deviate from a planned lesson to explain or provide demonstrations of ancillary exercises. His training paid off dividends for me recently when I fell in my house. I managed to get myself up by following the lessons Justin had instilled in me. If I had to point out any shortfalls in Justin, it is that he's captured the heart of my dog who just loves him. read more

I just completed a few months of private PT with Kelly. I am so grateful for her instruction. A year ago i was diagnosed with Parkinson's and felt pretty concerned about my activities . Now i feel much more hopeful and confident regarding my physical and mental activities. Kelly is extremely knowledgeable , caring, enthusiastic and committed to her clients. Its so reassuring to have a therapist that continues her education in areas such as balance, strength and aerobics activities that relate to PD as well as senior movement challenges. read more

I have been working with AIM since November 2021 but it was when I went from an 8 day backpacking trip to landing in the ER with sciatica the first day home that I truly realized the resource I had in AIM. Justin worked with me to go from scared to move - to knowing how to get myself into safe positions - to being empowered to push myself - to putting the whole experience in the rearview mirror and take an even more empowered role in my fitness and well being. A huge shout out to Justin and the team at AIM for bringing me all the way back. read more

I have worked out with Always in Motion for the past 6 years. After each class I feel more energized and usually have learned something about how my body works. Now at 82 I am needing a heart valve replacement. Because of the conditioning over the years I am able to have the more non-evasive procedure. My doctors tell me I'm in better condition that most people they see having it done. read more

I cannot say enough about the Always in Motion team, they helped give me my life back. They specialize in physical training of aging clients to maintain an active lifestyle I'm a woman in my mid 60's and started to having issues with back problems and arthritis in my knees. After having back surgery I went to physical therapy to complete my healing. My insurance payed for 20 sessions, but once I had completed the 20 sessions I still had more work to do to get back to an active lifestyle. After talking with my Physical Therapist about my options and doing some research I found Always in Motion. I started working with the team and with their help I have graduated from a walker, to a cane and finally to walking on my own. Unlike PT that focuses on a specific part of my body the Always in Motion team oversee my entire conditioning of my body. Even my 89 year old mother now takes classes with Always in Motion to help her stay active. I still need my knees replaced and I'm looking forward to getting them corrected. I know that after the initial PT the Always in Motion team will be there to help me back to the active lifestyle I want for my retirement. read more

Before working out with Always in Motion, I was dealing with a serious knee issue which caused me a lot of pain. It was painful to perform daily activities, such as walking and going up a flight of stairs. The Doctors of Physical Therapy and the other Movement Specialists at Always in Motion, taught me how to move and exercise without aggravating my knee. They used live instruction and feedback to teach me the correct form and which muscles I should be using for each movement. I am now walking several miles each day without pain. I have 100% confidence in the instructors and the exercise programs at Always in Motion. And... one more thing... It's fun. Give it a try! read more

I met Lori Isaacs shortly after becoming a member at the Huntington Beach Senior Center. My goal was to utilize the well equipped fitness center to lose weight, increase my strength and just feel better. At the time I didn't realize Lori was about to change my life. The initial phase involved a very thorough and comprehensive assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Lori then developed a workout regimen tailored to my needs. She also emphasized the importance of having fun. One half hour two days a week saw dramatic improvements in my core, balance, strength and overall fitness. I lost 26% of body fat and gained 8 lbs of lean muscle mass. My clothes fit better, I sleep better, I feel better about myself while having fun at the same time. Lori's knowledge, expertise and experience is truly amazing. Most importantly, she is such a delightful person. Her positive, supportive attitude is inspiring and I look forward to working out every week. I can't thank Lori enough and I highly recommend her services. read more

Justin has been my trainer for about 6 months. I have a nerve condition which makes excersizing hard but Justin always finds a work around for me - reading up on my condition and looking for things that help- on his time not mine . I just had surgery and I did much better this time because I was much stronger going in. He goes the extra mile - and so do the others at always in motion. read more

I had a few goals when I started working with AIM a year and a half ago, the top goal being to exhaust myself so I could sleep at night. I was running through grief and I needed help to make sure I set goals and had direction and stayed injury free. With Lori I found someone who was strong enough, professional enough, and caring enough to help lead me through those hard months. And on days when I had private lessons with her, I always slept. Through the community she built at AIM I have found a core group of strong, smart, compassionate women who I now happily call friends. We lift each other up. Saying thank you seems so small in return, but thank you very much Lori, and thank you to the AIM community. Much love. read more

As much as I wanted to like this, I was truly disappointed with Lori, she's the older trainer. I went in to receive personal training, I have worked with personal trainers in the past so I knew what to expect. This was far from a good experience. Routines were repetitive and got very boring. Her knowledge of anatomy seemed rather limited. The classes were limited, in that Lori did not seem to have much knowledge of various movements/exercises. The workouts were extremely limited and boring. After a week, you notice she works the same muscle groups over and over with the same exercises, no variety coupled with lack of enthusiasm makes the classes dull. She had the clients before (and after me) doing the same routine. You would be better off getting a personal training lesson from someone who has a variety of exercises they can recommend for more of a full body workout (providing a personalized experience -- instead of a cookie cutter routine). While I do understand that we need to build muscle over time, this class proves the trainer is lazy and does not provide individual care. read more

During the covid 19 stay at home restrictions AIM stepped up to the plate in an amazing way with virtual classes in yoga, stretching, and personal training. I have worked with their trainers for several years in classes and personal training at the HB Senior Center. The on line classes are just as great as those in person! If you need to keep moving give them a call. They are really there for us seniors. read more

Lori has been my personal trainer for almost a year and I have been consistently pleased with her exceptional care and concern for my overall health and fitness. Her extensive knowledge of anatomy and kinesiology complement her seemingly endless repository of different exercises that keep my muscles conditioned, my workouts interesting and even challenge my brain! And an added bonus is her interpersonal communication skills. Her affable manner make our sessions almost enjoyable. I hope to continue working out with Lori for many years to come. read more

I recently visited AIM for my first session with Justin. I was thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and ability to educate me on a wide variety of fitness topics. Justin was able to instill his insights quickly and clearly, showing me the best way to proceed for correctional exercise and overall fitness. Thanks Justin! read more

My husband and I use Lori from AIM as our trainer and we love her! She has been great and has taught us so much. I have worked out with other fitness trainers and Lori is by far the best! She is very detail oriented in her traiing regime as she personalizes every work out. My husband and I love how much she "pushes us" to acheive our goals. I highly recommend using Always in Motion! read more
