I started seeing Chris 2 months ago and was EXTREMELY skeptical. I did not enter with open arms. I was seeking something extremely specific for my specific athletic career as a 50yr old professional athlete. Yeah, I know...but yes, I am 50 and on a professional sports team. When we first met and I explained what I was wanted, he said "I can't help with that but I can help with X and Y and that will get you to Z which is what you are seeking." I put my faith in Chris, with the expectation that in 2 months I will find someone else. Fast forward to today...as I wrote this message... 1. The team I'm on won the championship in Ohio which comes with a nice pay day. 2. My body, agility, movement has never been better since my days playing collegiate tennis. 3. My physical pain that I would experience after competing is gone. I have no pain in my hips. I have no pain in my back. 4. I truly believe Chris is a magician 5. He has a client FOR LIFE! Chris - This testimony is from the heart, unsolicited, and genuine. I owe you dearly for the time you put in to me every time I came into your facility. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU read more

Chris and Jenny at Elite Performance are such great people. My son has been taking golf lessons from Jenny for about a year and a half now. She is such a great teacher and is very patient. One time I brought my daughter in with me when my son had a lesson. I asked Chris a few questions about her and how to improve her running. He spent over an hour walking her through different exercises to help diagnose ways to improve. In the end I asked him how much I owed him and he said nothing and he is happy to help her improve. You don't find this kind of dedication and customer service anymore. I would recommend both of them to anybody that's trying to get in better shape and also if you're looking to improve your golf game! read more

Elite Performance is excellent professional knowledgeable good listener. I really have value when I go to the sessions and I'm excited to start my training in January. Christopher is amazing. read more

My son started golf lessons with Jenny last year and he loves golf and working with her. She is so encouraging and able to push him to improve as well as enjoy the process. They have a great golf area with a golf simulator as well as an area to putt and chip. They also have half of the gym set up as a personal training area. Highly recommend Elite Performance OC! read more

We went to Elite Performance for its golf simulator and we had an amazing lesson with Jenny! The simulator is some of the latest software, and it's great to practice in a comfortable, air-conditioned environment. We will be back. read more

Chris is amazing!! He is so patient, kind, and understanding of what my goals and needs are. I highly recommend him as a trainer. He's very precise on form and technicalities (which is what you want for a trainer) bc it shows care and attention to detail so you don't hurt yourself working out. I did minimal in terms of lifting weights in the past so I was very new to this and am very thankful for Chris taking me every step of the way and correcting my form! I've been to a couple gyms here and there like 24 or crunch, his gym has workout equipment I've never seen before so it was very cool to try new things and have him walk me through how to use them to maximize my goals. read more

Elite Performance OC - Gyms Near Me - Lake Forest, California

See all

Elite is the highest-rated gym in OC for good reason. I came to Dominica about a year ago as a novice with a weight gain goal, and together we blew through that and hit almost 2x my goal in less time than planned. I've worked with personal trainers before, but Dominica and Chris are on a different level of expertise, fun, and results. If you really want to move the needle (and particularly if you're busy and time management is a factor) don't mess around. Go see Elite and make it happen. read more

I highly recommend Chris. He's a skilled and caring trainer and coach. He's passionate about his profession. He listens and takes feedback. He's a super nice person. His private, well-equipped facility and 1:1 attention have forever ruined corporate gyms and trainers for me. I also like that he does no up-selling, cross-promoting, etc. It makes the business part of our relationship so easy. Most importantly, I get results when I train with Chris. I'm almost 50 and my body has never felt better. read more

I have been training at Elite Generation since October 2015. I had not been working out for over six months and was out of shape and not feeling my best. I began training with Chris and couldn't be happier with that decision. Chris has been extremely helpful in my fitness journey. He has customized workouts for me to help attain my specific goals, while providing his knowledge and expertise in diet and stretching to help cover all aspects of my health regimen. During my time with Chris, I have lost weight, inches and reduced my body fat while building muscle. My body is more toned and my posture has improved tremendously. Most importantly, I feel great. Well worth your time and money! read more

I've been working with Chris for about 4 years now and every time I come in, the atmosphere is great, the gym is clean, & Chris is always ready and pumped to help get a good workout in. I have never met any other trainers with as much heart as Chris and Dominica. They really care about the quality of the training session & about the overall well being of each individual they work with. They specialize and adjust each workout to fit specifically for what you need and to help reach your own goals. They'll also give you feedback and help with your movements to prevent injury and to strengthen you. Specifically, I work with Chris for golf and body movements to prevent injury, to get a faster swing speed, and more distance off the tee. I've gained at least 10-15 yards with my driver since I've been working with Chris & have been able to prevent and work through injuries with his help. I'm so grateful for everything he has done for me to help me grow stronger & get better every day. 10/10 recommend! read more

It is with great pleasure I write this review for my Personal Trainer Chris Tran of 3+ years. The expertise and guidance Chris provides through my strength and wellness training sessions (3 days wk) have been beyond amazing. His consistent updates and redesigning of my sessions keeps me progressing consistently. The results have been faster than expected. I have been working out my entire life and at 60 years young, Chris has continued my Health, Proven Results and new discoveries. Thank you I from my Strong Heart. read more

Awesome dynamic duo of trainers! Chris and Dominica are both very knowledgeable and have helped me in gaining strength and mobility. You can tell they are passionate with what they do and customize your programs based on what goals you want to achieve! read more

Elite generation training treated my every need for a work out. Both of their personal trainers work extremely hard to help me reach my goal. Chris is especially knowledgeable on forms and exercise . Dominica is very nice and keeps the work fun! I always leave their gym feeling a lot better. Also their gym is extremely clean and neat! I highly recommend anyone to come by here! read more

Can't say enough about Dominica & Chris... They definitely know their stuff. Came in to get in shape for the summer and learned sooo much more along the way! I love how Dominica is completely focused on you & your form the entire session. I HIGHLY recommend giving them a shot, you won't regret it. read more

I trained with Dominica after a little layoff. She created a program based on the type of activity and goals I wanted. I was able to get back into the groove at a good pace while improving my mobility immensely. She was very knowledgeable which helped her pinpoint whatever was causing the issue and target it directly. read more

As a chiropractor with a background in strength and conditioning, Chris and Dominica pass the litmus test! The fitness culture is chalk full of dangerous and misleading information. What I liked about working with them: intelligent designed approach, fine tuning movement execution, understand physical limitation and mitigate risk. Ultimately, they are invested in their client(s) and seem to be passionately active learners. read more

I started coming to this place in November 2015. I had not worked out in over 15+ years. Dominica, one of the trainers helped me to figure out what my goals were, what my calorie intake should be and set specific achievements by a certain time we would work towards. Both trainers are very well rounded in their knowledge. Stretching correctly, pain management for the soreness after the workouts, what and when to eat and how to speed your metabolism. It's a small gym and usually they train 1 or 2 people max at a time. The results have been life changing and I am now probably in the best shape I have been in probably 20 years. I come to find out they specialize in helping adolescents as well as older people and everyone in between. If you have always wanted to work out but have been intimidated by going to other gyms and not knowing what to do, you have to check this place out. I recommend it to all my friends and anyone out there who is serious about getting in shape. read more

I have been training with Chris twice a week for about about 6 mos and I cannot be more thankful that I found him. Although I have been a runner for over 15 years, I have had serious back problems that have plagued me for just as long. Chris took the time to watch and ask many questions in order to find out my triggers, then successfully tailored a regimen to strengthen my glutes and hamstring while incorporating the correct stretches that I needed to consistently fight off my triggers. I am whole again!! read more

I love this place! So many fun times here with the amazing and very personable trainers. I truly enjoy coming here and training with Dominica and Chris due to their ability to create such an up tempo and lively environment. They will motivate you to your limit and help you achieve whatever goals you set for yourself. I thoroughly recommend checking this place out! #SWC read more

This place is awesome. I truly enjoy the trainers and training style that is performed at this gym. The trainers really seem to love what they do and are extremely knowledgeable in it as well. They personalize your workouts to reach your personal goal whether it be toning or just weight loss. If your looking to make a lifestyle change, lose some of the extra weight or just simply tone up.. I definitely recommend trying this place! Oh and they make working out fun by switching up exercises routinely!! I recommend this gym to all my family and friends!! LOVE THIS PLACE! read more

I have been training with Dominica 2 days a week for 1 hour session for the past 4.5 months. I have lost 20lbs and gone down 2 pants size. What can I say about Dominica??? I'll get to the training part in a minute, because she is fantastic. Dominica's genuine personality is what makes her such a great fit for me as a trainer. She has taken a very personal approach to my training. Dominica keeps me entertained throughout our sessions with funny stories and very unique outlook on health, fitness and life as a whole. In regards to developing my body, our sessions are diverse and meant to shock my body every time with special emphasis on gaining strength and muscle. In addition to dumbbell and cable work she has introduced me to speed and agility training. I have corrected my posture and strengthened my core. Now I can go to the gym alone and make the form and technique corrections on days I don't train with her. read more

I can not say enough good things about this gym! I've never been a fan of the big gyms. At Elite I get the personal one on one training I've always wanted and it always feels like I'm working out in my own private gym! No having to wait for machines to be available or some annoying person asking if they can 'work in' on my machine while I'm using it. Dominica and Chris both are very skilled and knowledgable trainers. I was with a different trainer for almost two years and wasn't seeing great results. I was beginning to think maybe it was just me. After only 4 months with Dominica I could all ready see my body changing. My strength was improving and I was feeling better in general. Another plus is that Dominica is constantly changing it up and keeps things interesting. She challenges me but never makes it so crazy that I don't want to go back. She is very good at reading people and knowing how to train them. Definitely give this gym a try if you are ready to see the results you have always wanted from working out!! read more

This place is AWESOME!!! It's a small, private gym that DOESN'T charge membership fees; they only charge for personal training sessions. They have a two client maximum by appointment only, so I never have to worry about feeling self-conscious that people are watching me when I work out, which I love. Another bonus for me is they keep it suuuuper clean. There are never weights laying around unracked, or empty water bottles/trash/ etc in the gym. It's also really convenient to not have to wait in line to use a specific machine! Not to mention, Chris and Dominica are GREAT. They're both so knowledgeable and have been working with me to not only get in shape, but strengthen my bad knee so I don't injure myself. Their rates are extremely fair since you aren't paying for a membership, and they genuinely want to help you and go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. They have even accommodated me when I wanted to get a quick workout in but didn't have time for a full training session! I can't rave about this place enough. ELITE ROCKS! read more
