So I find it funny after leaving my review, he randomly gets all these new reviews..wow...it must be the same 4 ppl that barely attends his classes...my 2nd day there..which mind you I found this deal on Groupon...he asks minutes into the session if I would join his bootcamp in front of his regular members(this is stated in the text message)...this was 2 days before I pulled my arm out with him on May 13th... He may be cool but, he's unprofessional in some ways...he again also spoke about a regular member being a whore to another member on May 16th.. He suggested I buy aminos but, made me feel guilty for buying a cheaper brand than the one he suggested...and then spoke about it outloud to another member on May 16th Injuries should be taken seriously...this is not about your EGO...I have attached screenshots of what my new private gym owner said regarding Carlos's practices. read more

I started training with Carlos in October 2021 and continue to this day. I started with personal training, he came to my building created a custom workout plan and talked me through my goals, nutrition and injuries. He adapted the workout to my needs training three days a week for an hour at an extremely competitive rate. I transitioned to bootcamp on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 7am. Carlos has helped me become stronger, more confident and healthier. If you would like to become healthier, meet great people, be in a positive and encouraging environment you should join! read more

This is the best bootcamp and personal trainer ever. Carlos works with people of all fitness levels, works around your injuries and limitations. And he makes it fun. He's extremely knowledgeable with nutrition, he will help you with what to eat and what supplements to maximize your results. I highly recommend fitmonster. read more

I have been working out with Carlos for over a year now. In about a two month time frame he helped me decrease my body fat percentage and increase my lean muscle mass which was my ultimate goal. He works with you on your nutrition. He makes sure I'm consistent with my protein intake and taking my aminos. Carlos has always been consistently professional. He is supportive and motivating. He keeps the environment fun! I've had personal trainers in the past but his workout is what has helped me reach my goals. I don't write many reviews but I feel it necessary to support Fitmonster as he has supported me. If I ever had an injury he would make me feel comfortable and I worked with him to do alternate workout type. Communication is key. A lot of other fitmonsters have injuries and communicate with him and ask for a modification when needed. I feel that this workout can be difficult for some people and it's not easy but it is easy to make excuses for ourselves and to not push ourselves to get to the next level. Life is best when you work out of your comfort zone. read more

Fitmonster Personal Training and Bootcamps - From my heaviest to my skinniest - Boot Camps Near Me - Long Beach, California

It was the Fall of 2018 and I was a member of a gym in the Belmont Shore area and not getting any significant results even with a very expensive personal trainer. My sister recommended Carlos' Fitmonster Personal Training & Bootcamp, she found him on groupon. From the beginning his vibe was motivating and fun. Also, I really enjoyed getting to know some of the trainees and liked the bootcamp culture. Some of us bring our dogs which is a bonus and the second bonus is his classes are very affordable. On the first day of Bootcamp Carlos asked me about any past injuries and was able to provide workaround moves during the sessions. Carlos has guided me to reach some of my fitness goals and he continues to challenge me. I look forward to being a Fitmonster for life! Gracias Chico! I appreciate you so much and look forward to meeting baby Monster soon! Trainee Flores!! ;-) read more

Fitmonster Personal Training and Bootcamps - Carlos my trainer and my German Shepherd at boot camp ! - Boot Camps Near Me - Long Beach, California

This review has been a long time coming. I have been attending Fit Monster for a year and a half and don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Carlos pushes you while being funny and inspiring you. I love the community feel that Carlos fosters by being inviting, caring for his trainees and his fun antics. He listens when we need to modify our training based on goals, injuries etc. I went from barely being able to lift to being the strongest I've ever been. I also appreciate that he protects the energy of the group and encourages positivity. Bootcamp classes are a highlight of my week every week. If you want to get fit, build community and get some fresh air all at once then Fit monster bootcamp is for you!! read more

I love FitMonster boot camp! My roommate had been doing it for a few months and kept trying to get me to try it out but I was veryyy lazy :D I finally gave in about 8 months ago and I'm still doing it. It's the first type of workout I've ever stuck with and actually look forward to. It's a GREAT and challenging workout and I'm someone who was a couch potato all my life and it really changed my life. It's also a fun time, with music and a LOT of laughing with a beautiful ocean view. I feel stronger, faster and I know I'll keep improving. I drive all the way from Hawthorne to Long Beach up to four times a week for this so you know it has to be good and the best part, it's REALLY affordable. You can't find any type of bootcamp for $100 a month with UNLIMITED classes 4 times a week. Carlos really works with your schedule, your fitness level and is always willing to help you with any nutritional guidance you might need. read more

Carlos is an awesome trainer! I love his bootcamps because he makes them fun but challenging at the same time. The workouts are wonderful and I always feel like I pushed myself and did my body some good. He pushes but as much as your body will allow you to. Within a month of working with Carlos, I already feel toned, stronger and healthier. What's an added plus is that Carlos is a wonderful person to be around. He is positive and motivating. It's clear that he cares about his clients and gets satisfaction from seeing his clients achieve their goals! read more

Carlos is AWESOME! He is the perfect combination of strict and motivational. He will push you to your limit, but knows when you've had enough. He is very conscious of client safety and health. He will prepare a food program for you at no extra charge to help you reach your goals successfully. He is knowledgable, professional and fun! Before joining Fitmonster Bootcamps, I was doing a Jilian MIchaels video every morning before work and I would DREAD it each day! Even though it was only 30 minutes long, it just got so monotonous! I would rather work out for 1-2 hours but do it outside, by the beautiful beach, with fun, encouraging people and with a trainer who makes it different and fun every time! You won't find another professional Bootcamp or Personal Trainer in the area who is as reasonably priced either! I HIGHLY recommend Fitmonster Personal Training and Bootcamps! I have lost almost 20 lbs. in the last 3 months and have gained a lot of muscle and tone. I am fitting into clothes I haven't fit into for years! And I'm having a great time doing it! read more

I am a consistent exercise junky but wanted to try something new as I feel like I wasn't getting the same results anymore with my regular workouts. I started fit monster a week ago and HOLY MOLY what a great full body work out. This is going to be week two and I already see results. Carlos is very supportive, fun and encouraging. Looking forward to feeling better in my clothes and bikini this summer. Thank you fitmonster read more

Fitmonster Bootcamp is Rad!! Its sometimes intimidating to go to a gym where everyone is fit, cut up, and muscle contest ready. This workout group has all fitness levels allowing me to fit right in:) Carlos' circuits are complete in that they target ALL of the muscle groups. I play roller derby and the agility workouts are especially helpful for me. Best of all (for me)the open beach setting is awesome!!! read more

Awesome training!!! All the other trainees are sweet and supportive. The work outs are challenging, but there are always modifications when needed. I felt results after the first week. Excited to find a trainer who is fun, real, encouraging, and knowledgeable about both exercise and nutrition. Looking forward to my summer body!!! My boyfriend knocks out and sleeps very soundly after the sessions! Haha, but I'm pretty sure he loves them, too. Couples that train together stay together?! Haha. Beautiful location overlooking the ocean. Doesn't get better than this when you're trying to get your booty in shape. read more

I've been looking for a good gym to join for years. I had Bally's/ L.A. Fitness the last 3 years, but never went. I just kept paying every month in hope that I would get motivated enough to get up and go. A friend of mine told me about this boot camp and told me the first session was free! I thought why not. I fell in love with it the very first day. The personal trainer that runs it, Carlos, is awesome. He brings delicious iced tea for everyone to enjoy every session. Also if you have a past injury he will work around them so that you can still get a great work out. My favorite part is that everyone helps motivate each other, from the staff to the memebers. Not to mention the great music that also helps pump you up to work harder. I highly recommend trying out this boot camp. What have you got to lose? The only thing I've lost is weight. But gained so much more! Motivation, drive, and more energy to get me through the day. So come check it out. Remember, it's never too late! read more

Best Fitmoster/Coach/Motivational trainer you can find in SoCal. I've tried so many and this is the only one i would recommend to my friends and family. Also he is able to work and push you at your own pace and charges a reasonable price for his classes. Plus you get an ocean view while you train. Doesn't get better than that! read more
