This review is long overdue. I've been consistently coming here now for one year and have never felt stronger! This is a hidden gem of a gym, tucked into a small strip mall. The trainers are professional, on time, always ready to motivate you and help you get the most out of your workout. One important highlight is this gym always feels like a safe space!! This is evident by how many women regularly train here (men too!, but just speaking to the ladies on this) The vibe is always positive and energetic! I see coach Brian, who is just awesome!! Love seeing so many people train regularly and get stronger! highly recommend. read more

TL;DR: My experience has been great thus far! My PT Brian is super supportive and knowledgeable which is great since I am sort of new to all of this. Victor is another PT that you will always find energetic and smiling. This place is very beginner friendly, and the trainers work with you on your body goals! I am 2 months in and would definitely recommend! Longer Version Introduction Session: I messaged through Yelp, and Victor answered and informed me of all the necessary information needed before going to the gym (e.g., scheduling, prices). On my first day of orientation, I met PT Brian, and he helped break down how our workouts would go. He was super friendly and encouraging as we talked about my goals and future workout routines. It was also nice to see many people of various different ages here all trying their best to workout! Usual Workout: My usual workout begins with a light warm up of using something like the stair climber to get the blood moving. This is about a 5-minute warm up, so I try to get there 5 minutes before my scheduled time. That way I can spend the full hour with my trainer working out. I like how I can ask to do certain workouts, or my trainer will have a preplanned workout routine. Regardless, I always feel like I am getting a good workout when I go each time. Usually, we do 3 sets and 12 reps for different. Some of the unique equipment is nice because I have not seen some of them at other gyms. Sanitizing: I tried out another gym once upon of time, and the one thing I hated was when people would sweat all over machines and not clean or wipe the area. Luckily here, my PT always cleans the equipment before I use them. Personal Trainer: Brian has been great at supporting me through the workout journey. He makes an effort to check my nutrition, make sure that I am not hurting myself in exercises, and overall, push me to perform my best. Now: I am 2 months in, and I can tell that my body has had some changes. Some of my friends have noticed too! My body does feel better and more energetic, which is great! I am still a bit away from my goal, so I think I will continue to come here until I meet said goal. Personally, I'm the type of person that lurks and reads all the reviews before deciding to go somewhere, so hopefully my thorough explanations are of use to someone! read more

Joining Fit Defined Personal Training has been a great decision for my fitness journey. The welcoming and motivational atmosphere creates an enjoyable workout experience! read more

My trainer, Victor, kept texting me to give him a 5-star review on Yelp. He changed my schedule because he got another client who paid him more. During the training, he spoke badly about other people. He also brought up some inappropriate topics with me. He mentioned that one of his clients is LGBT and laughed about it. He even texted me to ask if I could do a free consultation for him. I stopped going to him because I no longer feel comfortable with him. P.S.: He charges for his sessions based on your professional career! read more

Been working with my PT Anthony for over a month now. He is super sweet and knowledgeable. Explains each equipment and which muscle it's intended for. My golf swing improved and hitting drivers 10yards more working on specific target muscles. The trainers there are all encouraging and they seriously feel like friends. The people who come to work out are super friendly, no intimidation or shaming. We applaud each other at one point lol. I highly recommend this place, especially for new beginners. I was new to equipments (mainly did Pilates) but each trainer here will work you up at your pace without intimidating you. Signed up for a 2nd session already. read more

This gym is amazing as somebody who struggles a lot with confidence in a gym space. All the trainers here have done an amazing job with making me feel welcome and appreciated. Shout out to coach Aaron! He is somebody who knows exact exactly how to push somebody and he's very supportive and he has taught me a lot of amazing techniques and I can't wait for my future training sessions with Coach Aaron read more

Update: at the six month mark now and it's been going great with my trainer Victor. Seen crazy gains in back and legs, and a whole lot of improvement in arms. Down almost 25 pounds, and with the help of Fit Defined, am more comfortable in my skin and healthier. read more

I want to start by disclosing that these 3 stars are a representation of my very brief interaction with the owner, Victor Tran & his display of respect, professionalism, & courtesy with regard to customer service in a business setting. The main reason I'm taking off 2 stars has nothing to do with Victor or anything about the business/gym itself but EVERYTHING to do with the trainer that I unfortunately was paired with. Messaged the business on 1/7/24 here on Yelp to gather some information (program options, pricing, contract, cancellation policies, etc). Victor replied quickly & disclosed to me the packages that they offer. Which included an orientation workout to assess my goals & workout plans moving forward. My orientation workout on 1/13 with my assigned trainer, Brian Quinn & before anything even started or we even met, I already got a bad vibe. He had texted me the night prior reminding me that workout was at 7am & dude didn't even arrive until 7:10am. Then we had to go into the office & he had to fill out a questionnaire about my goals, why I wanted to do this, etc. All in all, it was nearly 7:20 by the time he had me workout & by 7:50, he ended it, got me back in the office & gave me a flyer for pricing & QR code for Victor's Venmo & Zelle & said if I was interested in signing up, to proceed with payment. Initially I was confused at how fast the orientation workout ended as Victor had told me it'd be 40-50 mins. In the end, I decided to let it go. Tuesday morning came & I ended up having to postpone as I had a stomach issue due to possible food poisoning as I had poke for dinner the night before & the entire night every hr from 11pm onwards to about 5am, I was going to the restroom like crazy. Texted Brian at 6am to postpone & he responded as if I had planned to miss the workout (6th picture). Once we finally got the 1st session in on 1/19, I was told by Brian to get there earlier at 6:50 to warm up but when I got there, he was still with another customer so I had to wait till 7am & then he ended it by 7:40, again cutting it short. He proceeded to want to schedule the remaining days of the program & when I told him I was week to week with my schedule due to work & personal affairs, his tone changed & then he said I'd have to try to come in at least 3 other days for cardio. But I was told by Victor that going in to do cardio on our own time is optional. He continued to emphasize cardio was mandatory & it continued over texts as well (photos attached). During the workout, I was offended that he didn't want to challenge me like I thought trainers would & proceeded to have me go through the workouts like it was my 1st time in a gym. When I was able to squat with a 20lb kettlebell, he feigned shock that felt like sarcasm. I ultimately had to cancel my program as my work schedule changed. In hindsight, it turned out to be a huge blessing in disguise as idk how much longer I could've tolerated Brian's condescending tones, sarcasms, & constant pressure to incorporate cardio on my off days even though I was told by Victor it was completely optional. There was also a point where he texted me to try to set a schedule but the 2nd paragraph had something that clearly wasn't meant for me but he sent it anyways & the tone seemed really unprofessional. In closing, Victor was courteous enough to grant me a refund in the amount of the remaining sessions I had left which was 11; So I received a refund of $525 ($55/session x 11 but minus $80 processing fee). While I was talking to Victor about the refund, Brian was chirping on the side trying to get Victor to not refund me the session that I had missed due to stomach issues; When he initially told me in the text he'd tell Victor to NOT charge me as it was an emergency situation. I thought it was funny he was trying to do that cause when I had to postpone, he was trying to get me to schedule a makeup asap & when I scheduled for the next morning, Brian decides to text me after midnight to cancel himself cause he said he wasn't feeling well (2nd picture). So it's ok for Brian to just send a text in the middle of the night to cancel, without 24 hr notice, but when an unexpected emergency happens to me, I should be charged for it? Thankfully, Victor isn't easily influenced by Brian & is a man of integrity & respect. In hindsight, I noticed certificates of other trainers in the office on the wall, including Victors & a Anthony but I didn't see any certificate for Brian; Which begs the question if he's even qualified? I guess we'll never know. Thank you again Victor for your professionalism & integrity. Unfortunately it didn't work out but I wish you continued success moving forward. Unsolicited advice: Brian would really benefit from some customer service & empathy training. Just saying. Also, per Victor, if you cancel your program before finishing it all the way thru, you aren't allowed to return/sign up with them again.. EVER. read more

Victor is amazing! I came to him with a knee injury and he not only made it a priority to help me with my injury but helped with my over all health. He not only makes you feel comfortable but inspired. He helped me overcome my gym anxiety and for that I couldn't recommend him enough read more

I first joined this gym before the pandemic and had the pleasure of working with Brian. I love the one-on-one coaching and how knowledgeable he is with any questions I had. Fast forward to today, I decided to take the leap and rejoin Fit Defined again for accountability and assist with my health goals. I have been back for about a month and a half now and was glad to be back with Brian again. Awesome guy to talk to and really personable! The owner Victor is very friendly as well and you can tell these guys are passionate about what they do. If you're looking for an intimate gym to join, I would highly recommend checking this place out! read more

I wanted to share my short but very positive experience with Fit Defined. The last couple of years with Covid and remote working, my workout routine has been almost non existent. I decided I wanted to be held more accountable and give myself a little boost to get some momentum and rebuild my fitness foundation. I started training with coach Tony and immediately felt like we had a good connection. In just a few short months I saw a lot of my strength and muscle mass return and Tony always made sure to challenge me and work on the areas that I was not so strong in, my core has never been this strong! Even when I injured my knee in a snowboarding accident, Tony made sure to accommodate the injury, respect my physical therapists' recommendations and adapted my workouts to focus on other areas. I really enjoyed working out at Fit Defined, sadly coach Tony had to move back to the east coast and my new work schedule gets in the way of daytime workouts so I had to cancel my subscription. However, if you are looking for a jump start to 2024 and want to workout on some unique weight machines with a welcoming and productive atmosphere then check out Fit Defined. read more

I've been working with Coach Anthony at Fit Defined, and I can't recommend him enough! He is incredibly knowledgeable and takes the time to truly understand your goals. Every workout is customized to my needs, and I've seen amazing progress. I'm just beginning my fitness journey and Coach Anthony made me feel comfortable and challenges me in the best way possible. His attention to detail and ability to tailor each session has been a game-changer for me. I've never been consistent with my work outs until I started with Fit Defined! read more

Gym environment is nice and clean. Equipment ranges from standard to atypical. Trainers are well informed with a friendly positive attitude. My trainer is victor and he's been nothing but enthusiastic and encouraging. I don't know anything about health and fitness but I trust victors guidance. I would recommend the trainers here as they are also more affordable than other personal trainers in the area. read more

Coming to fit defined, every trainer greets you when you come in with such positive energy, it really gets me motivated to do well! All the other people getting trained also shows such positive energy and encourages everyone! Victor and all the trainers make your session so personalized, i feel so accomplished when I leave. read more

Fit Defined Personal Training - Just finished upper body day, goodnight - Trainers Near Me - Anaheim, California

Fit Defined has been great for my self care! I went to gyms before but was intimidated by the weights and machines, and really only did cardio. I found Fit Defined when I started my search for a private gym and PT. One of my goals is to gain strength, but also learn proper form so having a PT who can teach/correct my form was important. I've been paired up with Anthony and he's enthusiastic and welcoming. He pushes me, but also ensures my safety. While I sometimes dread leg days, I never regret a workout afterwards - I always feel better and accomplished. If you're wanting 1:1 sessions and a private gym experience, I highly recommend Fit Defined. P.S. The members and other coaches are very positive so it's a welcoming and motivating environment too! read more

If you are looking some motivation and efficiency training. I would highly recommend Fit Defined Personal training. Anthony is very knowledgeable and motivated you. You will never skip the training with him. Oh and this gym Never closes read more

They do such a great job! Every time I walk through the door I feel like I'm part of a family. No matter the shape you are in, you'll fit right in. Bobby was my personal trainer and I cannot say enough good things about him! I wasn't too bad of shape when I started but Bobby helped me hit some good numbers and helped me on my slow and control. Would give this place more than 5 stars if I could! read more

I wanted a small personalized training location, and that is what I got in Anthony at Fit Defined. He takes the time to explain each posture for each lift. He is also very understanding, motivating, and patient. Additionally, all training coaches and trainees are fun to be around. The environment is lively and supportive. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay fit and have fun doing it. read more

I have been coming to fit defined for a couple of months now. I definitely wished i signed up sooner. I get pretty self conscious with working out around other people but this place feels intimate. Even when other people are scheduled at the same time as me, it's a welcoming and encouraging environment. I had previous training elsewhere but I feel fit defined pushes me to do more than I think I'm capable of. All the personal trainers are amazing. They also work with your busy schedules! S/O to Victor for making me feel like jello after every session. Fit defined has not only helped me feel physically fit but I also feel the difference with my energy level! Get those endorphins going with fit defined ! read more

Highly encourage giving Vic and his team of trainers a chance to get you started on a consistent and sustainable fitness/ strength training journey. They are quick to respond and get you scheduled for the complimentary orientation work-out session and from there the training packages are very reasonable. Victor is an excellent trainer who really encourages you and remains dedicated to you seeing the results you want. Every workout is customized to your personal goals (not just weight loss) and no two workouts are the same to keep the novelty and interest going. You are also able to go in to do some cardio when you don't have a session which is a big plus if you don't have access to a commercial gym. The environment is welcoming and the other members also offer encouragement. There's no judgement as everyone is focused on their own goals and everyone's progress looks different. I just completed my first 12 sessions in 6 weeks and I'm down 9lbs. Looking for that sustainable weight loss and building my strength; here comes round II with another 12 sessions. read more

I was looking for a trainer to guide and teach me proper form for my strength training. A friend of mine happened to find this gym and just signed up and gave me the green light. I am in my health and weight-loss journey and needed to incorporate strength training because I do not want bat wings and hanging skin lol. In addition as I am aging, I started having bone spurs/arthritis so I needed to strengthen my muscles around my knee (and every else, come on now). Coach Victor is such a great trainer because he guides and motivates you. I am a beginner when it comes to strength training. His knowledge and wisdom are rich and I am so glad I signed up and got the package. I have tried fitness bootcamp several years ago, and they just threw you in there with the advanced level people. They told me to just copy people while doing the 25 minute circuit doing burpees, HIIT, renegade & etc. My first day there, within the first 10 minutes I felt like I was going to die, as if my heart was going to burst out of my body, literally. I had zero experience, so I felt like I was this weak puppy keeping up with a pack of hungry wolves. In a month I injured myself because I didn't get any one on one training, no warm up, you just jump in there to complete the circuit. I paid for a 3-month program but couldn't get a refund so that was such a bad experience. Now, Fit Defined, you get a one on one training. Coach Victor works with my pace and level. In just two weeks, I have lost 10 pounds (that included healthy and restricted diet of course). Coach Victor gives you nutritional advice also. So, if you are like me, someone who is tired of making excuses to be healthy again, just come check them out. I strongly recommend this gym, you won't regret it. read more

Been training here since October with Coach Tony and would totally recommend others to come here. They have some brand new weight machines that were transported from outside of the U.S. that aren't available in your regular gyms. The owner Victor makes it a fun place to work out and I'm happy with the strength progress that I have made. It helps to have one on one training to make sure your form is right and you're doing the right exercises. read more

Fit Defined Personal Training - Megatron squat machine - Trainers Near Me - Anaheim, California

My wife has been training with FIT Defined since February 2021! She was never a fitness fan and what motivated her to begin training was a preventative measure to avoid injuries at work. The owner, Victor is kind, funny, and friendly. At first it was a long learning process with sore, aches, and physical exhaustion for for first month (this is normal for one's body to make an adjustment), but then she started to improve on her energy and overall physical health. Not only did the weekly sessions give her more energy, but overall increased self esteem about her body. It has been 5 months since she started training and she continues to incorporate it into her daily routine as a must. The staff and personal trainers are flexible and accommodating to their clients busy schedule. The gym is never crowded and you don't feel rushed. The equipments are sanitized after use for hygiene. Pricing is reasonable and affordable. You spend your money on shopping, eating out, and alcohol, so why not on your health! Thank you Victor and Staff who have done a wonderful job in motivating and training their clients. No experience needed! You must start now! read more

You will leave Fit Defined feeling amazing every session! Do yourself a favor and book a free consultation and session so you can see for yourself how wonderful this gym is! read more

I have been training here with Anthony since September. I am very grateful to have found this gym. I've tried different personal trainers at other gyms like 24 hour fitness and other small gyms and this is my best experience yet. I love the welcoming energy of the place and it just feels very safe and encouraging. You can see the different vibes with clients and the trainers in the space and you can see that everyone genuinely cares about one another. It's encouraging to see clients that have been going for a long time, speaks volumes. The space is filled with lots of machines and yeah they have been keeping it interesting with bringing in new equipment and staying up with the latest tech. Keeps us on our toes! I really love working with my trainer Anthony, I could tell right away that we were going to vibe well. Super down to earth and I love his attention to detail and his eye for getting correct form. We laugh a lot and even when I'm dying I really appreciate that he knows exactly where to push my limits. I feel so much stronger and healthier and I know this time working with him will be foundational to good habits I will keep in my life. Definitely would recommend this gym and any of the trainers here! read more

Top notch personal training! I think all of us packed on the dreaded Covid 15 and after being cooped up in the house, eating like crap, and drinking way too much, I finally decided it was time for a change. I've had two personal trainers in the past, and while they were knowledgeable in their own right- those experiences pale in comparison to the personal training I have received from Victor. Not only are the workouts varied, but they progress with each session. I am constantly challenged, my stamina is improving, and my form gets better as time passes. Another plus is Victor is a work horse since he owns the place, so you can rest assured that he is reliable and will provide you a completely custom experience tailored to your needs. All the staff and patrons here are very nice, funny, and push you in a motivating way. If you concerned about the safety of the gym, the number of people inside is limited, there is fresh air circulating in the gym and there is more than six feet at all times between you and another person. All the gym equipment is sanitized after each use. I have only been training here for five weeks and I have already lost 1.5 inches from my waist, and five lbs! Prices are reasonable and times are flexible. On your off days, you are free to use the gym for cardio. I'm excited to hit my weight loss and health goals in the future and am fully confident I can finally get to where I need to be with Victor's training! read more

This is my first time having a personal trainer so I was super nervous but I'm really enjoying my time so far with Fit Defined! Coach Anthony and Victor are super great and push you to your full potential the coaches here really explain all the exercises and what muscle groups you'll be targeting. They also have a meal prep service that's not only healthy but delicious as well. 10/10 will be signing up for more packages for my fitness journey!! read more

A+++ in my book! I was looking for personalized, 1:1 training sessions and after reading various reviews and doing some research, decided to check out this gym and was not disappointed! Victor was extremely helpful in setting everything up and answering all of my questions. I was assigned to the awesome Anthony as my ongoing trainer and couldn't ask for a better trainer!!! Anthony is friendly, patient and detailed-oriented in form and explanations, and I'm pretty happy to have given this gym a try. Doesn't hurt they have a free one hour consultation/training session in the beginning so I took advantage of that as well. Overall, I look forward to making progress and believe I can get in better shape and form with the help of this gym. Thanks Victor and Anthony! read more

7 weeks ago I was at my lowest of lows. I've been the highest I've ever weighed. I struggled with losing my pregnancy weight, pandemic weight, depression, stress weight gain, etc. I've been curious about this place for awhile now but was always so intimidated. I decided it was time to step out of my comfort zone. I needed someone to hold me accountable. I'm so glad I signed up! Everyone is friendly. Facility is clean and they will work with your schedule. I've never felt so strong mentally and physically. Thank you Coach Anthony! I came here wanting to lose weight initially and while the numbers haven't changed much (that's all on me!), I feel the strongest I've ever felt. I've noticed my energy levels are better and I feel more confident. I'm still a work in progress but this is one of the best investments I've done for myself. Highly recommend. :) read more

As someone with no gym experience, I was nervous about starting personal training. Brian has made it a great experience since the first day! Hes very knowledgeable and patient. He's great at explaining things and doesn't hesitate to demonstrate things multiple times if I'm unsure. He always does his best to accommodate my varying schedule. No complaints! I'm so glad I took the leap. My life has definitely improved because of Fit Defined! read more

I used to be pretty active back in the day, but after college and throughout the past years thereafter, it's been tough for me to get back into the hang of things including diet. I tried multiple gyms specializing in different ideas but I could never stick to it. It was then that I decided to get into personal training because I felt pretty self-conscious at gyms and honestly didn't know how to use most of the equipment or what they targeted. I needed someone to motivate me and teach me the essentials on actually working out. I've been training with Coach Tony at Fit Defined since July 2022 and have enjoyed every bit of it. Having the one-on-one experience with Coach Tony has definitely helped me gain a better understanding on my health, my body, and my diet. He is very passionate about what he does and pushes me to personal records every session. The equipment at Fit Defined have been great, and Coach Victor surprises us with new, weirdly tortuous yet satisfying machines as much as he can--both a blessing and a curse. I have enjoyed my time at Fit Defined so far and can't wait to continue and see what limits I can surpass with each session! Thanks to all the coaches at Fit Defined, and a big shoutout to Coach Tony for his patience and drive! read more

I came here to start doing something for myself and am staying for the positive energy and vibes! Coach Victor really listens and applies that to each session. Also, his energy is unmatched! They know what they're doing here! read more

This gym is very welcoming! Every time I come in, I feel nothing but excitement and motivation, even after an exhausting day at work. I've been training with Coach Brian for five months now, and he's been instrumental in helping me push past my limits. He has a great understanding of which exercises and machines are best suited for me, and he's always flexible when unexpected scheduling issues arise, always finding a way to fit me in when a spot opens up. After each session, he reviews my food log to ensure I'm on track with my nutrition, which has been crucial for my progress. Overall, Brian's guidance and support have helped me achieve my fitness goal of increasing my strength. The rest of the staff are also very friendly and always offer encouragement when we stumble upon each other. The gym itself is always clean and well-maintained. There will be times when they'll suddenly surprise us with new machines I've never seen in any other gyms before. read more

I found fit defined on Yelp while looking for gyms with personal trainers after not working out for a few years. I never worked out seriously but my movement had gotten super limited and I was just starting a new job that would be a lot easier on me if i worked on my strength. I'm happy I came here and got coach Anthony as my trainer. His enthusiasm for fitness is infectious! I really appreciate his knowledge of how the body works and he always has a solution when I bring up any body pains I'm feeling due to my occupation. I highly recommend this gym, whatever your fitness goal is! read more

I love this gym and the great coaches! I've been working with Coach Brian for 3 years and I'm getting all the results that I couldn't achieve working out on my own. I'm a mom who works full time and Brian is always able to work around my crazy schedule. Coach/Owner Victor is always so friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend Fit Defined! read more

I love coming here, and coming here became one of my fun weekend routines! All trainers I had were very good at and passionate in training and they give acurate advices. They are flexible with schedule, which I appreciated compared to other trainers nearby. I highly recommend here if you look for personal trainers in Anaheim. read more

I have never lifted weights correctly prior to training at Fit Defined Personal Training. My dad found Victor on yelp, we saw that Fit Defined had an overwhelmingly great reviews on yelp and in a 10 mile radius from our house in Anaheim. The initial orientation Victor and his staff greeted me with energy, I haven't seen professionalism like that and I have trained at a CrossFit gym in the past. So far I've dropped some weight and manage to learn a lot of new weight training techniques thanks to Victor. I also come in 2x per week to use the cardio machines (which is complimentary) to burn more calories and to work on my stamina! read more
