Luckily, I have Rob :) not only is he very flexible and works around my schedule to make sure I get in, he is constantly pushing me to my limits despite my whining. He knows what I am capable of and makes sure every workout is not only challenging but diverse. I leave every time hating him lol but it really is all worth it. Trust me! I Have been training with him for a while now and I have faith in him with everything from diet to workouts. Ive had other trainers before but he has exceeded my expectations. Thanks rob! I highly recommend him to everyone. Whether it be cutting weight or just staying in shape he knows his stuff. I also love the evolve facilities because you beat the crowds you usually encounter at the typical gyms and they have everything you need. You don't have to wait around. You're able to go in, do what you came for and leave in a timely manner. The entire staff is really friendly, nice and approachable as well. Give it a shot! You won't be disappointed :)

Wow, this place is amazing! Not only beautiful by design and flow, but a super clean fitness…read morefacility 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!

Come on in! Our team is here to welcome and support you.

She's incredibly knowledgeable about body mechanics, anatomy, and movement, and always demonstrates each exercise beforehand so I have a clear visual.

Maddie gives real time cues on my form, which not only helps protect my injury but also ensures I'm building strength and muscle correctly.

There's two restrooms in the back as well as cubbies you can leave your stuff. Most classes I've been to were booty day so it was all of lower body and glutes. For one of the classes, each workout is sectioned out by two sets of 45 seconds with a 15 second break in between each set. Another one was 3 minutes to get through 8 workouts ranging from RDL's, hip thrusts, lunges, Bulgarian squats with 10-30 sets each. There's a ton of equipment spread throughout and when you're done with a set, you'll move forward to the other workouts. I was sweaaaating!! I joined in for their other classes too and each day is a different format. Which is nice since you get to switch it up. Downside would be ... there's a bad mosquito problem here. Almost every time I've been here I've gotten mosquito bites and I always see them flying around. They even fly around the front desk. It sucks but wear some bug spray if you're coming here.

CP runs a boutique-style personal training gym that's honestly one of the cleanest and most well-equipped spaces I've ever been in. He puts real thought into every session -- it's not a one-size-fits-all workout. What I really appreciate is how CP bridges that gap between physical therapy and personal training. He focuses on alignment, getting the right muscles to fire, and helping you move in a way that actually supports your body instead of hurting it. It's made a big difference with my postpartum posture issues and all the aches from standing all day. If you want a gym where the trainer actually cares, knows what they're doing, and takes pride in the details, this is it.

As a high level athlete my whole life I have worked with a lot of trainers, and no one listens and adjusts so well, while still delivering results. I can work hard without being scared of injury, as I know she is taking it all into consideration. I've worked out with her through different seasons of life, including two postpartums which I was so grateful for. She is also super funny, so that helps to lighten the mood when I'm dying from her insane programming. She always finds a way to strengthen my weaknesses, which leads to overall more strength instead of just working the big muscles like your typical Bootcamp or trainer that doesn't really tailor the workout to you. Stoic is also so nice. Clean positive inviting environment to workout, everyone is there to work hard while still having a good time. All levels welcome. Plenty of parking. Good vibes.

Decided to surprise my wife with a relaxing duffy boat ride for our wedding anniversary with some friends. Went straight to Yelp to do my research (thanks Yelp!). Originally, I was going to book with a rental company for Newport Harbor, but then came across a Groupon for PCH Electric Boats. After checking out their website and reading the glowing reviews on Yelp, I immediately booked. I called to book a white duffy boat on the day before Thanksgiving. The person on the phone was friendly, courteous and really easy-going. They asked if I had a Groupon and if I could provide the voucher number. BOOM. done. all set! I received an email with VERY DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS (including photos) of where to park and where the meeting area was. Additionally, a link to the waiver form that every passenger is required to fill out (even your babies) was included in that email. On the day of our booking, we were met by the owner Grant who I'm pretty sure was the same friendly, courteous and easy-going person I talked to on the phone days earlier when I booked. He provided specific instructions on where we're allowed to go and what to avoid. He saw we had several small children in our party and recommended everyone use the restroom nearby before boarding since there is not place to stop out in the harbor. After we came back from our potty break, Grant lead us down to the dock and got all the kiddos fitted for their life vests (all in great condition btw). He assisted us with our bags so we could focus on boarding the kids safely and even took a group photo for us! The boat was clean and easy to drive. The sound system was bumping and all the windows easily lifted up for that nice harbor breeze. It was a beautiful and memorable day. On our return, Grant was at the dock with one of his employees ready to receive us. He guided us in smoothly and as we were gathering our belongings and cleaning up, he helped all the kids out and grabbed our bags. We handed Grant a tip and immediately he passed it over to his employee who was going to do the post-ride cleaning.. what a great boss!!!! Definitely will be booking with PCH Electric Boats again!

I feel like how she lives her life, in a way of sustaining a healthy relationship with being active, encourage me to find a way to create great habit! It's translated really well in my training. I also love how she would take the time to check in with me, made me feel cared for but also held me accountable. She's an awesome gal!! I always left our sessions feeling motivated and inspired. Highly recommend!!

While on a month long business trip in CA., a friend recommended Pwrfit as they are members. Being…read more35lbs overweight I finally decided to stop making excuses and just do it! OMG! This has been the best experience ever! Never in a million years did i ever think i would I would become one of those pple who love going to the gym and working out! I actually love getting sweaty! But a big part of this has to do with the coaches! Doris, Anthony and Cyril! They are not just encouraging but motivating ! I am so grateful to this team! One of my biggest fears was trying to work out in front of other people, especially as an out of shape beginner. But there were so many members in the same boat as me and everyone from the coaches to the members made me feel safe from ridicule and made this such an amazing experience! Now I'm heading back home to PA and will miss everyone here! If you have been thinking of starting your fitness journey, just do it! You will not regret it! I don't even live in California but I signed up for the year so i can come during all future business trips out here! No joke! Thank you Doris, Cyril, Anthony and all the members!

Amazing team and amazing workout!! Very good for beginners they're so welcoming it makes it not as…read moreintimidating like other gyms

Spacious, clean, and well lit studio…read more I took my first class this week and it was great! I was definitely sweating and my legs are sore from the workout. The instructor was super friendly, helpful, and encouraging. This is the most spacious studio I've been to so far in OC. Parking was easy too. I did have an issue with my reformer. The spring changes aren't hooks like most other machines. They're switches and mine got stuck on a heavy spring even though it looked like it was off. It's hard to tell because it's a switch. The reformers do look new and well maintained

I've been coming to this studio for years, and it's truly become one of the most grounding and…read moretransformative parts of my life. The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, supportive, and encouraging -- they each bring something unique to their classes while maintaining a consistently high standard of instruction. What makes this place so special, though, is the community. It's a warm, welcoming environment full of strong, inspiring women who uplift one another. There's no ego or intimidation -- just a shared commitment to growth, strength, and self-care. Thanks to the consistent guidance and care from the instructors, my body has completely transformed. I feel stronger, more aligned, and more confident than ever before. I can't recommend this studio enough -- whether you're new to Pilates or have been practicing for years, you'll find something truly special here.

My review is for a wonderful meal prep program by dreambodybc and personal training by Marilyn. I…read morehave been on this program for 4 months and I can't live without it. I'm busy professional that really has very little time to put prepare/mealprep healthy meals for the week. The meals are customisable, VERY affordable and super nutritious. Leave it to me without the meal prepping, I would be wasting money buying unhealthy meals where I work. I want to personally thank my trainer Marilyn for being there to answer any questions I might have, being flexible and being so prompt with returning back messages. She is a great personal trainer that will work with your personal goals. I'm so blessed that our paths crossed and met another wonderful human! Guys, these are wonderful group and you wont be dissappointed --now if I can only get my butt up at 5am to join them for boot-camp, I will be a ROCK Star!

I have been doing metabolic exercises at this boot camp for more than three years. Marilyn and…read moreJohnnie are great trainers, and even better people to work with. I lost 20 pounds in eight weeks when I first started, and I am continuing to lose body fat and build muscle. I reduced my weight from 234 pounds to 205 pounds. When I start my day at this boot camp I feel great, and I have the proper attitude to deal with my stressful job the rest of the day.
