Gia is hands down the best trainer I've ever had. She's extremely motivational and pushes not only your body but mind. Her dedication to teach women how to love theirs bodies and take care of them is inspirational. Caution to the wise (or lazy in this case) - Gia is not an easy trainer. She will push you during your workouts. I get nervous every time I have sessions schedule with her because I know I have to go beast mode lol. But I promise if you're consistent with the nutritional guidance she gives and exercise regularly in between your trainings you will 100% see changes in your body. I'm so grateful I met Gia. She will forever have a client with me. read more

I started training with Gia after having my second baby in less than 2 years. I was extremely out of shape and the battle to get back in shape seemed like a near impossible feat. Gia is AMAZING! She helped with not only my physical journey to get back in shape but also my mental and emotional journey. She taught me to be patient and have grace with myself. Only a couple months after starting to train with Gia, I suffered a major knee injury (unrelated to training) which required major surgery. It was very depressing and frustrating. Gia worked with me from the early stages of recovery up to my full recovery. She pushed me but always had safe and effective modifications when needed. I looked forward to training with her and rather than dreading my workouts, she made them fun and was always so inspiring. I lost over 20lbs working with Gia! She is simply the best! read more

I have been Gia's slave for about 2 years now. When I first started taking Gia's classes, I had never done strength training , only went to spin classes and rode my bike outside. I did hours and hours of cardio and I still had a lot of body fat. Gia's classes taught me the importance of strength training and how it can help you lose fat, gain muscle and afford a cheat meal once a week. I'd be lying if I said that Gia's classes were easy. Most of her classes incorporate 30 minutes to strength training using body weight and 30 minutes to cardio. At first, I barely lasted through one hour of spinning with her (even though I'm an avid cyclist and have ridden over 100 miles in one day). Gia knows how to push you and you feel like you get the right amount of attention even in a group setting. She helps to modify exercises for beginners and those with injuries. She is extremely helpful in keeping me motivated and embraces the fact that I am a curvy girl! I am one thousand times more confident in my own skin because I know that I work hard to maintain it! I used to obsess over the scale but now I know that the results are in the photos, my energy level and my skin! She offers both classes in the morning and at night and is available for nutrition counseling and personal training. Gia is the full package! Do yourself a favor and try her out for a week. You will definitely see (and feel) the results! read more

Those of us who spend our lives focusing on helping others end up not focusing on ourselves much. After 2 elections/re-elections and 2 back to back campaigns, my health (physical and mental) and weight finally took the final beating. I had gained almost 20 pounds, I had severe back pain and had to stop running, and felt depressed, hopeless and lethargic. I blamed age, my lifestyle and stress for my "inability" to lose weight and eat healthy. Then I met Gia Fey. She had such an amazing spirit and energy and wasn't the typical "fitness" trainer one tends to encounter. She was about loving yourself first, educating yourself about nutrition and working out last (but hitting it hard when you do). I didn't know much about Gia or her approach to fitness but I knew her energy was infectious and she had a banging body, so I sent her an email that dripped in desperation and anxiety and I asked if she could help me. Not only did she say "of course" but she also said, your situation is not unique. She emphasized that I wasn't alone. We met and the transformation began. I've had my ups and downs. Being fit and healthy isn't just about being "skinny", it's also about your mind, body, and soul. I'll admit, this is probably much easier now since I don't have to keep a campaign lifestyle anymore, but I don't travel less, I don't spend less time focusing on helping others, and between all my "jobs," I spend just as much time working as I did before. I'm almost where I want to be physically, but I'm already there mentally and emotionally and I have @bodybygia to thank. If you want something bad enough (or have reached the point of being sick and tired of being sick and tired), there isn't anything that can stop you. So go out there and get it, friends! read more

Long overdue review for my girl Gia! Been teaching me about this fitness life since five years ago and recently She got me back on track with fitness in the third trimester of pregnancy, I was letting myself go and sedentary for the most part, gestational diabetes, bad diet and all that. I'm so glad I had those last few months training with Gia, doing workouts and cardio to get me moving, eating healthy. She was even there when I went in labor! Pretty epic! Now looking back I did it for me and my baby girl and I can't thank her enough. Cant wait to get cleared and start training again and proud of her for having a platform to help people during this pandemic! If she has openings I highly recommend you lock them in. Her virtual sessions are like having her there with you. She is good about correcting your form to make sure you don't get injured and you get the best workout so your time is well spent. Also I love that she puts a lot of emphasis on diet which is soooo important, will check in with what you're eating and drinking and I like how she explains what's happening in your body in a way that you can understand, she's a very good teacher. Gia is highly motivating and still approachable and not intimidating which is great for beginners and she is also tough and will push you, which is great for people that are athletic but just off track, and need coaching to help them level up. Im so grateful we met, Gia introduced me to a lifestyle of fitness and self care. I was athletic as a kid but as an adult I fell into crash dieting, didn't understand how things worked, always eating too little or too much and not truly taking care of myself so that I could feel good on the inside with some healthy goals in place. I like that Gia digs deep and focuses on the persons overall well being, mind, body and spirit and I'm positive that every person that has ever worked with her has felt an overall transformation. Having a trainer like her is so valuable and will add years to your life. Definitely worth the investment. She's the best at what she does and she makes it fun!! read more

My girlfriend already had an amazing body and was/is looking to tone up. My review is not just based on Gia's great ethics in making sure her clients are getting exactly what they want from their training but instilling the confidence that the body you have is beautiful and she is there to help you feel that much better about yourself. Since my girlfriend has been training with her I have not just noticed the physical change but more importantly that mental change with the confidence she has gained from getting through the intensive workouts but that she now sees what I've seen this whole time, that she is gorgeous and sexy. When the person you're with has that confidence in how they look it benefits all aspects of your relationship. Thanks Gia for not just being a great physical trainer but for truly carrying about your clients mental wellness. read more

I started my Journey with Gia in April of this year and it has been an amazing experience having her as a personal trainer ! She's highly motivating and great at what she does. She gives me that push that I need when I feel like giving up. In 2 months I was able to loose 20 lbs and this the best accomplishment yet! Thanks to Gia I can finally feel better within myself not only physically but mentally too! I highly recommend her to anyone who's in search of a PT ! She's amazing ! You won't regret it I read more

I'm so glad I finally tried Gia's workout classes! Such high energy and enthusiasm, takes the time to learn everyone's name. This is what a boot camp class should be like. Also SUCH a good workout...like 1000X more intense than when I work out on my own. She has a combination of bootcamp and spinning. Also she corrects form, which is really important and I've worked out with other fitness instructors who don't do that. Also the price is super reasonable, there seems to be a nice camaraderie among the people going, all in all a great experience. Also great for people of all fitness levels - she goes out of her way to make sure the class isnt intimidating. Highly recommend - esp for people in highland park or el sereno (since as far as I could tell this is one of the only bootcamps out there). read more

When meeting Gia for the first time I was overwhelmed by her energy enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge...she seemed very sweet until we started training and then that sweet girl in the locker room turned into a beast. Gia never let me give up and never put me in danger. I have trained with male trainers and prefer Gia's method by far because I know she will never compromise my safety but she helped me reach my goals. She is an excellent teacher and is so invested in her clients success. She influenced many positive lifestyle changes including cutting out alcohol! Overall she got me the results I desired but more importantly taught me that a healthy lifestyle and proper nutrition is what will help me maintain. read more

Thank you body by Gia you are an inspiration to make me a better me. read more

I started working working-out with Gia September 2013 after doing Zumba 5 days a week for 2 years. I needed something more. She was definitely that! She is dynamic, smart, beautiful, and most of all, she kicks ass! I went from 232 lbs to 200 lbs in a few months. For me, she helped me with my nutrition and exercise. Since then, 3 years later, I am 175 lbs. She is a good friend and a real girl. Trust her, you'll be happy with your results read more

I have attended Gia's class for the last 6 months. It's a 30 min of spinning and 30 min of core . Gia is the real deal, she is approachable, and knows how to push us to the next level with love and lots of encouragement. Best of all Gia is extremely resourceful, not only will she give you a complete workout but she will also give you health and nutrition counseling. If you are serious about wanting to feel better and changing the way you look you should give Gia a try. I lost 20 lbs., feel great and best of all I no longer suffer from migraines. read more
