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!

I started working out at Lift Silverlake seven weeks ago and my experience there has been 100%…read morepositive, far exceeding any expectations I had regarding the process and results I might see. It has been years since I've stepped foot in a gym, and I'm not young, so I had misgivings about how the training would go, but those misgivings have disappeared. I have always been active in one form or another, first as a (modest) school athlete, then in the military, and finally just interested in general fitness, but my time with Chenell, Dirk, and Emilie has yielded results (already?!) I've never felt or seen before. Going into this, I submitted information about my background and goals, and I feel it's clear that the team really listened and that I am on a tailored program directly addressing my goals. I am by no means an expert in weightlifting, and thus far have needed many reminders about which exercise is which, what the movements are, etc. but I always feel comfortable asking for those reminders. Dirk and/or Chenell, and/or Emilie are consistently close by for those reminders, or to help with adjustments to form, and pointing out if it might be time to increase resistance (weights) because of increased strength over time. I told myself I was "only" going to do two workouts per week when I started, and almost immediately (and eagerly) bumped it up to three workouts per weeks since I could feel and see positive results almost from the very beginning. I've since discovered that some close friends have also had great experiences at Lift Silverlake, and I've already found myself recommending it to friends based on my experience there.

I came to Eric feeling unsure, out of shape, and honestly a little intimidated by the gym. Now I…read morefeel strong, capable, and more confident than ever - both inside and out. Eric goes far above and beyond in his support: - He's incredibly dedicated. His attention to detail, check-ins, and support go far beyond any trainer I've worked with. - He's focused on real, lasting change, not quick fixes. Mindset is just as important as movement. - He's tough (in the best way!): he challenges you so you can discover strength you didn't know you had. Eric believed in me before I did. That kind of support is rare - and life-changing. Working with him has been one of the best decisions (and investments!) I've ever made. I'm so grateful to have found Eric! He changed my life.

Eric has helped put my parents back on the road towards regaining / maintaining independence. My…read moreparents are in their 70's and early 80's and have been going to Eric for the past 2 months. My Mom is getting back into the gym after a stint of severe knee/hip arthritis and her focus has been on resistance training/strengthening. My Dad has had a history of falls and his focus is on balance and resistance training. I can already see that my Dad is more confident in his walking and both of them are excited for every session. Life is all about pushing limits (even into your 70's/80's and beyond) and I've been super impressed with Eric's care, motivation and individually crafted plans for each of them. Eric has excellent communication skills and it is apparent that he truly enjoys what he does.

I originally came in just wanting to fix my form and learn how to lift properly, and that's what…read moreI've been getting. Kacy is big on progression and basically operates under the assumption that you can always go up in weight, which has pushed my strength up (especially hip thrusts and RDLs). It's small group training, which keeps the energy up because everyone's working at the same time. He'll keep you accountable and make sure you finish your sets and there's a decent chance you'll leave with a random nickname you didn't ask for but it does keep things entertaining. In my first month I've already seen measurable changes in strength and body composition, so it's been interesting to see the progress show up pretty quickly. Curious to see what the next couple months look like.

My girlfriend had been working with a conditioning coach for some time but saw minimal results. We…read moredecided to shift focus and look for a strength-based training approach, which is when we found Kacy. We met with Kacy in person, where he clearly explained how his program works, reviewed pricing, and discussed the nutrition expectations that accompany the training. He was very straightforward, professional, and understanding--especially recognizing that it can be difficult to transition away from a previous coach. Training began shortly after. Sessions can be busier during certain days and times, typically running 60-90 minutes, with multiple clients training simultaneously. Despite this, you receive excellent value for the cost. The pricing includes gym access, which is a great benefit. Kacy maintains a professional environment while keeping sessions engaging, motivating, and appropriately challenging. It's important to note that this is primarily a group training format. While Kacy provides guidance and instruction, he is not overseeing every single repetition. For those who are completely new to lifting, discussing one-on-one sessions would be beneficial. Overall, we highly recommend Kacy. Thank you, Kacy, for your patience, professionalism, and continued support
