At ELEV8 all their trainers are very knowledgeable, friendly, motivating but first of all Kind. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave.

After being a member for a couple years now, I can still honestly say Elev8 is truly one of the best private gyms around. Whether you've new to the gym life or have worked out for years, the environment this place provides in unmatched. Everyone is so warm and welcoming and makes you feel like home. This place has everything you need and would want in a private gym. Everything is great quality, from the equipment to the trainers, and the staff is always communicating with the members for feedback on ways to better the facility to provide the best experience as possible. read more

I have been at Elev8 for a few months now and I absolutely love the staff and the members. It very much like a team when your in the facility. Everyone is very welcoming and supportive of your goals. Since I have joined I have been training with Dylan twice a week. He is very supportive and encouraging with his coaching. His exercises are demanding and are tailored to your needs. I myself have had hip and shoulder issues so Dylan has created a program to strengthen my weak areas. Since Covid is a thing - Clean and Sanitized all the time, plus they provide bottles of cleaning products and towels to wipe down your equipment before and after use. read more

First off I started with Elev8 in the middle of this pandemic. I cannot be more happy with them. They sure helped me stay in shape while being at home. Since I've started I have lost close to 15lbs. But the best part is that Kat has helped me soooo much with my nutrition. I know have knowledge of how to understand my body and what foods are meant for me without restricting me of everything. Brittany has honestly been a great motivation as a trainer I'm sometimes afraid to cancel workouts so I don't anymore haha but she always pushes me and motivates me. Highly recommend Elev8! Made new friends in the process as well :) read more

I've been a following Katrina and Pham on IG for about a year now. Seeing their lives collaborate and build a business they both feel passionately about was simply inspirational. They both work hard in regards to nutrition, working out, and balance. When they opened up this place, I told myself that I will workout there one day. There are three types of people in the world: 1. Ones that make things happen 2. Ones that watch things happen 3. Ones that wonder what could happen I live in the Bay Area and have a busy ass schedule; between my career, my kids, my gym, my education, and other things in my life (sports, volunteer work, reading, etc.), finding downtime seldom come to mind. I've gone through some financial waves but I put together a plan to not only take my kiddo to Disneyland but to also fulfill my quest. Once I knew the dates I would be in Southern California, I reached out to both of them and told them that I will be coming down and wanted to workout at Elev8 Performance. I also forewarned them that Gavin will be w/ me. Not only were they both responsive and welcoming, they said that the have a TV/Wii setup and if Gavin wants a challenge, Pham would game. Met w/ Katrina and I was so giddy when I gave her a hug. I signed waivers and to my surprise, they did not charge me for working out there. Not all gyms are that accommodating and understanding. I made myself right at home and so did my little one. There are cubbies to put your belongings in and a unisex restroom. No shower facility. This is a no frills gym. You come w/ the mindset to work the fuck out and if you are lucky, you will get to see athletes and celebrities from LVFT (Pham and many others), Shredz, BodyBuilding (bodybuilding.com), MPK (Meal Prep Kingz), and the list goes on and on. - 1 cardio machine (StairMaster) - tractor tires - steel weights (bars/dumbbells) - carries Flavor God seasonings - LVFT apparel - holding cooler for folks to pickup their meals from MPK - artificial turf Everything is well-kept and cleaned religiously. Open atmosphere. Happy to cross this off of my bucket list. I plan to do another session in January when I will be in town for the LA Fit Expo. Gavin and I love it here. read more

Thank you to my trainer Whitney! I joined ELEV8 because I was looking for a clean and well-equipped gym that offered personal training. I liked the array of equipment & infrared sauna access, but ultimately what solidified my decision was Whitney. I didn't want a trainer who would just push me to exhaustion, I wanted someone to truly evaluate my body and create a custom workout that worked for ME. She did just that. I had prior injuries and experienced back pain with certain movements, so I appreciated that Whitney listened to me and made adjustments wherever needed. She challenged me for sure, and as a result I've already accomplished more than I thought I would. And no more back pain! Highly recommend. Thanks Whitney read more

If you're looking for a gym that cares for you and wants you to succeed look NO further then Elev8 Performance. I work one-on-one with Coach Chelsea Garner (subtle last name change) and she is absolutely AMAZING! Every week I come in I am greeted by chelsea and we talk about the past week/weekend while stretching. Chelsea is not only my coach, but she's also my guidance counselor. She cares about my mental health and she wants to see my succeed!! She's always flexible when it comes to my hectic nursing schedule and she works things around when I need to reschedule. Thank you CHELS read more

I would like to thank Elev8 Staff for the constant support and encouragement. I'm extremely grateful for the staff for continuing to push me along the way. I don't think I'd be able to as many things as i can now since working out is part of my everyday routine. I get excited to workout, i never used to be a gym person but Elev8 has definitely inspired me to do so. I really want to thank Whitney especially for always being there for me and keeping me on track even during this crazy time we're living in. I would highly recommend this place to anyone and always will. read more

And if you really want somebody to push you, all of the trainers are awesome! My trainer Brittany is incredibly invested and intentional.

Elev8 Performance - Gyms Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

If you are looking for a gym that has all the equipment needed and more to reach your fitness goals along with the training environment to keep you motivated, this is the place to be. Having just moved to the area, bouncing from commercial gym to commercial gym having to wait to use gym equipment, or just not having the right equipment to do certain workouts I had become quite frustrated until I found Elev8. Finding a gym that is competitively priced and a private setting is almost unheard of but that's exactly what Elev8 is. Brittany was very helpful throughout the process of the free trial phase, showing me the amenities available and ultimately signing me up! 10/10 recommend Elev8 read more

I started recently and all the trainers are awesome. My semi-private classes have been with Brittany who takes the time to come up with programs/workouts tailored to my needs..which I know can be tough especially with all my injuries . She takes the time to make sure I'm doing workouts with correct form to prevent any further injuries. She's also great at getting me motivated when I roll in at 5 am half asleep, which is equally as important. Bootcamp classes with Dylan and Chelsea are also awesome! read more

If you are looking for a personal trainer I cannot recommend Sandra Gonzalez at Elev8 enough! She helped make working out a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Sandra has always been receptive to my questions (ranging from nutrition, supplements, etc) and is always very attentive to my form, not to mention highly knowledgable about her work. I continuously preach her coaching to my colleagues and all interested since her guidance has been foundational to staying fit and healthy. Thank you, Sandra! :) read more

Gym is supper clean. Coaches are very friendly and helpful. Feel right at home. My favorite is coach Brittany, she is very supportive, and super encouraging. Brittany is not simply a trainer but a close friend. Highly recommended this amazing gym to everyone. read more

Elev8 is not a gym, it's a home. Every member of this gym is amazing and is motivated to hit results. There is no judgement and the gym is EXTREMELY clean. I've been here for almost 2 years and I'm blown away by how much it is still evolving. There's 4 squat racks and 2 deadlift platforms so you basically never have to wait to hit your main lifts. I opted in for the semi-private training and was blown away by how amazing the trainees are. I had Bryant and . His attention to detail is insane and is your biggest supporter. Whether you're a beginner or experienced lifter, he has something that will PUSH you to your limits. Go hit them up, follow them on IG, and hurry up and sign up for Elev8 Performance. read more

Brittany has been training me for a few weeks now and I'm LOVING IT! She's really motivating and pushes me everytime I see her. She not only reminds me of our sessions but is accommodating to my schedule which is so helpful! She keeps me accountable through texts and praises my healthy meals as well! If you're looking for a solid trainer who will create a tailored plan just for you, Brittany is YOUR PERSON! I'm looking forward to my progress but overall I'm very happy with my decision to join this gym. Also, wanna give a shout-out to the facility. At first I was a little hesitant to go back into a gym feeling conscious about myself but I feel like it's a safe place & everyone's super nice! Plus the sauna melts all your cares away! Thanks Elev8! read more

my initial impression of the gym was nice, it's cozy, secured by fob, clean, and being renovated and the staff was friendly. but sadly, I've been trying to work with Trevor to schedule small group training 3x a week at 5pm but strangely this gym only offers large group training in the evening time slots when im a beginner and need closer attention than i would receive in a large group. you'd think they'd be able to find 1-2 clients willing to join that time slot with me pretty easily but even though their website calendar says "new slots added as needed" and even after me personally babysitting my inquiry several times a week they still never got back to me about my request. what a shame, this location was right by my work on the way home. I will take my business elsewhere. read more

Started working out about a month or so with Brittany brown and i haven't stopped and I've been obsessed with the training, her and her vibe and the overall vibe at the gym. As a mom of three small children i love that she has classes that work with my schedule. I love how motivating she is and how she doesn't take any bs and is constantly reminding me of my "goals". For someone who has never worked out sometimes it's needed. But i honestly love her so much as a trainer and as a person. Thank you Brittany for motivating me and holding me accountable i can't wait to finally have a bomb summer body for once. If you need a trainer i highly recommend her. read more

I'm still newish to the gym (1 month strong and still going!) but so far everything has been great! gym is clean, the trainers are fabulous and working out there doesn't make you feel like all eyes are on you. The semi private sessions are wonderful and small which I love and everyone is super friendly and encouraging! if your looking for a new gym def. check this place out and use the 7 day trial! read more

One kick ass gym! If like me, you're someone that knows how to train and want to be left alone, no creepy weirdos checking you out or benches that are always taken, then this is the place for you! Mark roams those gym floors making you feel welcomed and offering his services at all times. They also offer group classes and personal training if that's more of your cup of tea and they do a damn good job at it! Brittany and Chelsea will kick your body into gear. Thank you guys for making this gym a home away from home. I'll cherish it and will never forget the muscle gains and relationships built! See you all very soon. Keep up the bad ass work. read more

This review goes out to my main girl CHELSEA SCOTT! Shoutout to the most motivating coach and one of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. As a client of hers for years, she's helped me in so many ways. From nutrition plans to workout programs to mindset discipline, she really does it all with the genuine intention of getting you to where you want to be. I honestly never thought that I could set my mind to a consistently healthy schedule. But now I actually prioritize proper sleep, substantial meals, and working out as a stress reliever. Because of Elev8, its resources, community, and of course Chelsea as a trainer, everything that used to seem impossible to me now feels doable. Cheers to you Chels! Thank you for helping me be the best version of myself. read more

Such a great atmosphere! The trainers, staff, and owners are amazing people. The space is clean and they have a lot of equipment to workout with. read more

I only joined Elev8 a month ago and I'm already down 1.2% body fat and my clothes fit better! Brittany, Mark & the team are accepting and wonderful. I highly recommend the semi private training as a fun & effective way to get back on track! read more

Very professional and well controlled. I feel like I fit right in with everybody else. The trainers have a TON of knowledge that will help you reach your goals in no time! read more

Great gym! Mark and Kat are wonderful people too. I love the equipment and the vibe here

After paying for multiple gyms and fitness classes in the area, I finally found Elev8 as my home gym after being referred by a friend. This is a great place to reach your full fitness potential, with highly knowledgeable training staff and all the right equipment, both functional and strength training. For anyone serious about reaching their health goals, I highly recommend Elev8 read more

Sandra has proven to be the best trainer I've had (and I've had a few). As someone with a sensitive back injury, I am very cautious with my range of motion. Sandra has done an excellent job at taking my injury into consideration and has adjusted any exercise to best fit me. Highly recommend Sandra as a trainer! read more

This gym is very welcoming and that's why I still come here, when I first scheduled my free visit I was skeptical because I didn't know how to work out and I couldn't afford a one on one or a semi private trainer. The trainers at Elev8 were awesome to tell me there was an online training plan where a trainer will make your programming and you go in knowing what to do at the gym on your own and not just trying to figure it out as you go. Even though the trainer isn't with you every step of the way, in my case, Bryant made sure to program me exercises I knew how to do and that would benefit my exercise goals the most. Overall great experience here so far! read more

This is more of a first impression review and I look forward to giving an update down the road. I just signed up for a months-long challenge with Elev8 and even before physically starting I could tell they really care about their clients. I came down with bronchitis just as the challenge started and was out for two weeks. I literally had my trainer and other gym staff checking in on me to see how I was feeling and when I finally made it in I was warmly welcomed back and was checked on seeing the session making sure I was hanging in there since I was coming back from being sick. Those little things matter. Now to the actual training, it's great. The training pushes you to your limit and ability. It's exactly what I need. Mark is an amazing professional. Love his guidance. I can't recommend this place enough. read more

Before Elev8 Performance I was not consistant with my workout routine. After joining Elev8 in May I have seen results in my strengh and contuined to stay motivated with the help of Brittany, she pushes me beyong my limit. I recommend Elev8 and the coaches, Chelsea, Brittany, and Dylan. read more

It's almost 1 year since I found Elev8 Performance and started working with Brittany, she is an amazing couch. She has kept me motivated and I enjoy all the workouts. I highly recommend Elev8 Performance. read more

I had a semi private membership at elev8 for the past year. I trained with Brittany brown 2x a week. I was pretty new to weight lifting. Brittany was able to show me what worked best for my body for workouts and nutrition. I now feel more confident in the gym thanks to her! The gym is always clean and has great equipment. I loved the sauna read more

Such a fantastic gym! Always clean and the staff are some welcoming and friendly. A good variety of classes. Highly recommend!

This place has changed my life. I decided to make a change in my life about a year ago and that's when I got introduced to Katrina who owns Elev8, she met with me at my initial consultation and I expressed to her how much I hate working out and how much I really don't like trainers because I don't want them to tell me what to do. She took that in and found a way to work with me where not only would it be enjoyable for me but she connected with me in a way that a trainer never has. I've also been able to train with Mark and Brittany who also have the same passion that Katrina does and will take care of you. I am still going to Elev8 three times a week and enjoy it every single time that I go even though I feel like I'm dying half the time LOL. I don't plan on ending my journey soon and I appreciate how connected I am to the trainers there and how much they make me feel like family. I have lost tons of inches and many more to come but overall I feel SO HEALTHY and the best version of myself. I've never felt that before in my life. I owe more than a thank you to Katrina and Elev8 and am excited to see what else is in store for me here. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND everyone here. read more

On top of the gym having a great vibe the staff is very friendly and made me feel right home. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

I was referred by a friend of mine, did a 7 day trail and fell in love! I started with their bootcamp classes and it was a challenge but got awesome results and my cardio significantly improved within 4-6 weeks! I started semi privates and my coach has been amazing and I've seen such an improvement! Highly recommend to anyone!! read more
