Saw the gym ad on facebook, tried the rental for about... ~15 times or so? Was great. Automated booking, automated key usage, Scott was very responsive, the gym has multiple barbells and pretty much any free weight and a few machines which I didn't touch. The barbells are a little old but that doesn't really change much, if it holds the weight then that's it. See pictures on their website for the gym, they were up to date last time I checked, only good things to say. Allows you to split it with a friend or two and that makes the rental very attractive and doable repeatedly. Went like 2-3 times a week when gyms were closed. Cheers!! read more

I'm usually not one to leave negative reviews, but my experience here prompted me to inform the Yelp community about this place and to stay far far away. I came in for my 2nd hydrostatic weigh-in, got my results and was satisfied with my results. It confirmed that my current diet and workout regimen seem to be heading in the direction I expected compared to my 1st weigh-in. The issue started right when I was driving home and noticed my "dry weight" was a bit off 178.8 .The whole week leading up to my weigh-in I was hovering around 172 range and the morning of I weighed myself 172-ish and only had a protein shake prior to being weighed-in. How could it be so far off 6lbs? When I got back to the office (after a big lunch) I weighed myself again on two separate electronic scales 173-174 lbs. I understand that they have a "professional" scale but even commercial scales now a days are pretty accurate, but to be 6lbs off is a bit crazy? I called FitnessWaveOC saying could it possibly be a human error when writing down my numbers cause I could of swore I saw 172.8 when I was standing on the scale. They kept telling me it's correct but I wasn't satisfied. I asked if I could just come back in and stand on the scale again just in case those extra 6lbs are throwing off my results. Keep in mind I don't care about my actual weight, I just wanted to confirm that my results are correct to confirm my diet/workout regimen. Left Scott 2 voicemails and a email.... no response back or call back. To make matters worst, these so called "professionals" didn't even explain what all these numbers mean compared to my 1st weigh in. They pretty much read off the paper... "your lean muscle mass is ***, your fat % ...". No shit... I know how to read but explain to me what it actually means! Anyone who cares about their physical fitness and statistics, trust me when I tell you to find another place to do your weigh in. This place is not professional and does NOT care about their customers. I definitely will not be coming back or recommending them to my crossfit gym members. P.S... the carpet at your facility is digusting...you should really think about changing it out. There are stains everywhere and it smells like wet dog... read more

Best and most accurate way to accurately show body fat %. Reasonably priced. I've been going here several years and it's nice to know I have a consistent measurement to rely on. The newer owner is very friendly. read more

I went in for a dunk and O2 testing. It was a seamless experience. The only issue I had was blowing out my air and staying underwater long enough in the tub (I don't know why it was difficult for me) but the attendant was very patient and performed many attempts until I got it right. The data gathered from the full complement of tests is insightful to target good health. read more

I've been to FitnessWave in Costa Mesa several times now. If you are trying to make a lifestyle change (I use lifestyle change because diets don't work), it's important to know your body and how you burn calories as well as your body fat composition. FitnessWave can figure all of this out for you. They have the most accurate body fat test there is and they can tell you how many calories you burn sitting still, which is important to know how many calories you can have with or without exercise. They print everything out for you and each time you visit, they can show you the progress you made or didn't make it and they are really nice! read more

Came here twice, first for a hydrostatic weighing and resting metabolic rate test, then again almost a year later for a follow up hydrostatic weighing. Was helped by Nhu both times and he was extremely professional and helpful. Gave me tips to exhale deeply to get the most accurate readings. He gave me a rundown of my results and the basic requirements it would take to reach my goals. For my second trip, my trainer had suggested I come here since it's more accurate than the skinfold test that we had been doing. Little did I know I had a referral discount through him, but already paid for the appointment. I called the day before my appointment and spoke to Stacy who was very helpful and was able to refund me for the amount of the discount. Definitely recommend coming here to see the most accurate snapshot of your fitness in metrics to track your way to your goals. read more

Great place - I always wanted to get my hydrostatic body fat testing done. I was thrilled with process and what actions I need to take to keep improving. Thank you read more

Fast and efficient body fat testing using the underwater "dunk" method. Whole process took less than 15 minutes and results were in my hand when I left. Good barometer for where I stood after having running the LA Marathon. Shows me where I need to improve. Worth the money to gage progress. read more

The place is great / my husband and I did the hydrostatic body fat testing and the RMR testing ... the whole process took about 40 minutes / individual could be in and out in 25 minutes ... it's nothing special but the results are accurate and they send you home with your printout stats... chat a little with you about how to interpret them and answered all of our questions ... don't forget to bring a towel if you're doing to body fat test ... all in all / great experience ... I've recommended to friends / coworkers .. read more

I'd love to give the operations 5 stars. Terese Schelling is an asset to the company on many levels. Being able to get an accurate reading of your body's metabolic processes is crucial to figuring out an appropriate strategy for your dietary needs. Fitness Wave offers a quality facility with a professional staff that's genuine. My only issue was with one of their call center "associates". I later found out the extremely gruff, and unprofessional person was in fact one of the owners. I realize not every person is a people-person, but in that case they should not interact with customers or potentially profitable business opportunities. If you call them to set up your appointment, I hope you get Dave to pick up the phone. read more

Came in to do the hydrostatic body fat testing and Paul was here to help. He made us feel super comfortable during the process. We were kind of scared since you have to blow all your air out underwater. After exam was over he went over the exam results and broke everything down for us. Paul was very thorough with everything. We'll be back for another testing. Definitely will recommend this to everyone that I know read more

I went to Fitness Wave several years ago! I just wanted to get my body fat tested. I never realized that they offered so much more with regards to training and performance, than simply testing, to help achieve your goals. And while I probably won't ever use them for anything more than just to get fat tested, they are incredibly professional and absolutely first rate, in their guidance through the process, with immediate results and suggestions towards further success. Hoping to go again soon, once I get shredded up! read more

FitnessWave rocks. Super accurate analysis and convenient. I like to get an assessment on a regular basis from them because I know it's more accurate. read more

FitnessWave is my go to facility for hydrostatic body fat testing. I used to use their mobile facilities, but now I always go to their OC office. I think their stationary facility gives me more consistent results, since it's the same equipment used in a stationary setting. I've always been comfortable and happy with each visit. The staff is professional, knowledgable and willing to help and encourage their clients. They offer other services, like resting metabolic rate testing, and some other sport/diet services, but my focus has always been an accurate body fat test. That's what I get from FitnessWave. If you're into fitness and you want to see if your activity and diet are effective, then you should use FitnessWave as a tool to meet your fitness goals. read more

Came here for hydrostatic body fat testing. It was my first experience but Paul made me feel very comfortable and explained everything in detail. Having to completely exhale your breath under water can be scary but Paul kept encouraging me and made me feel better. He kept cheering me on! I'll definitely come back here in a few more months to see how much progress I've made. read more

I absolutely love the results and experience I received from fitness wave OC. The reason I chose this place is because I wanted accurate results on my weight so I can accomplish my goals. read more

I went in for a hydrostatic body fat test. I expected just to get the measurement results and leave. Instead, Renaldo Bethel gave me an excellent counselling session based on what my goals were. He gave me great advice based on what my current fitness routine was. I told him how I liked to train and he was able to give me recommendations on how to alter my training to get to the results I wanted. He was really knowledgeable and let me ask as many questions as I liked. It was definitely more than I expected. read more

I bought a package for body composition analysis and it was a turning point in my recent life style. I used to eat healthy and work out on regular basis but I had gained weight and I couldn't get rid of that ; by doing the analysis, I got to know about my BMI, my body fat and muscle mass, my metabolism and calorie burn in different conditions, so I had a better understanding of my body and I could plan my diet and work out with the consultation I received. The owner -Scott- was such an inspiration , he was very friendly and helpful with consulting about my nutrition and work out plan and even followed up with me regarding that later. Can't wait to go back in 2 month for the second test. read more

A lot of people are battling with many body issues and having an option such as FitnessWave comes in handy. Great staff who spends whatever time is necessary to go over your results. Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to get a better idea on what they can possibly work on to get in shape for their upcoming trip to some secluded beach paradise or just to be on top of what they can do to stay healthy. read more

FitnessWave is great! My wife and I have been coming here for 9 months and it has been the best way to keep motivated to maintain our fitness levels. We come every 6 weeks for the body fat test. The staff is extremely professional, welcoming, and encouraging. They have given us great tips to help us achieve our goals. We will be back for sure. Highly recommended! read more

I came across this gym from a Facebook ad and I have rented their gym for an hour session a few times in the last week or two. It's definitely been a great option during this pandemic and the owner was super helpful from start to finish. I even received a follow up message after my first session to see how I liked it!! I would highly recommend to use their facility and split the fee with a few friends. It's convenient and has all you need to get in a workout during these crazy times! read more

I have always had great experience with Fitness Wave. Knowledgeable people, friendly with your well-being always in mind.

Great experience. I plan to return in a few months to test again.

Ronaldo was friendly and professional! He made me feel very at ease and couldn't have been nicer. Super easy process!

Well where do I start. Probably with Paul. Wow, this guy is so good. Humble, kind, relaxed, professional. Everything you could ask for as a first time customer. He was the same the second time we met so my wife and I appreciated the consistency. We went in for. Metabolism RMR test. He made it simple, and explained our results in surprising detail. He's very passionate. After telling him about a previous experience getting our body fat tested, he shook his head thinking it sounded too high. It was. My wife and I came back a week later and he shared the difference between the two types of tests, the one he uses as the Gold Standard in the industry, lucky for us we were 3% less body fat than before. Hooray! Haha. Anyways Paul's great to work with. Please support him and this business. Thanks Paul. We appreciate you. read more

Let me just start off by saying that I HATE being under water. HATE it. So when I signed up for a 6 week fat loss challenge at my Crossfit box, I was less than thrilled upon learning that we would be doing a dunk for our before and after body fat testing. However, I could not be happier with my Fitness Wave experience. Paul and JP were not only awesome at putting my nerves to rest, but also explained everything so well. They were patient and made the whole experience completely stress free, and dare I say, fun! I can tell that these guys care about what they're doing and care about their clients. I couldn't be happier with the whole process! Also, since hydrostatic testing is the most accurate body fat testing out there, I was super happy and confident with my results! Thanks again, guys! read more

I haven't actually been to the facility but as a part of a body fat reduction challenge for our company, Mixx Yoga, we asked FitnessWave to come out with their mobile truck. From the first encounter, all the way to the last, from the manager, David, all the way to the the person doing the dunk, Nu, and the person getting trained, JP, our entire experience was extremely positive. Fantastic customer service. They arrived 30-40mins before the start time, they were ready to go right on time. Extremely professional, organized, and friendly. All around great experience. We can't wait for them to come back again when we're all fit and super ripped ;) read more

I've lost 120 pounds in the last year and a half and getting tested regularly at Fitness Wave has absolutely played a part in my success. I go in every six weeks, and the facilities are always super-clean and the staff is extremely friendly. I've recommended them to several friends who have had the same great experiences. I would recommend Fitness Wave to anybody who is serious about getting into shape and wants a great experience. read more

What a great experience! Came in for my RMR testing, Paul was super knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be coming back for a dunk test. read more

Scott helped me with the dunk and the metabolic rate test, and was attentive and knowledgable. And Renaldo was great! He was excellent with showing me some workouts I could do at home with only the dumbells I have. And the eating plan Renaldo helped me establish worked within the diet (Keto macros & intermittent fasting) I wanted to operate under. I worked with another nutritionist or a "health coach" as he called himself, and that guy wanted me eating far too often and only said he would give me some papers explaining the exercises I could do at the gym only. I am totally blind and getting to a gym frequently is not possible. With Renaldo's hands on approach, spending the time to help me understand the workouts, and commitment on my part, I feel great & have people telling me all the time how great I look. If you are looking for a place that will work within the constructs of what works for you, and will helpyou put together an integrated plan of action, search no more, Fitness Wave is exactly what you are looking for. Get the dunks, do a workout session (or 2) with Renaldo, and commit to feeling (and looking) better. 2020 can be the start to a new lifestyle, let Fitness Wave guide you. read more

This place is absolutely filthy you can tell they don't care anymore.And it stinks big-time of dirty sweat. The guys were kind a professional but you can tell they're just going with the flow like I can't wait for the day to be over. read more

I am so happy I found this place! Paul was amazing! First time doing this so I didn't know what to expect. I expect to come back often to get real numbers on training and diet progress. Thank you! read more

Terese is a wonderful fitness professional! I have been going to Fitness Wave to get hydrostatic weigh ins for a few years now. Not many places offer this service. Terese is knowledgeable and always a pleasure to work with. read more

Getting dunked here is easy and convenient and professional. I like having an accurate reading of my body fat, which keeps me on track with my fitness goals. I'll be back next year! read more

Great guys. Very professional and very encouraging. It is a little unusual dunking your head underwater with no air... But it wasn't as hard as I thought read more

Paul was so helpful and knowledgeable. He was also very patient and made my experience top notch. I will definitely be coming back!

I came here to get my body fat measured for a challenge at Mixx Yoga. Paul helped me get my measurements and he was nice and explained to me why he was doing particular things and was able to answer my questions when I had them. Afterwards, Paul, explained my results to me in a clear, easily understood manner. I can't wait to go back in 10 weeks to get my next set of measurements done. read more

I got my first water immersion test done here. Paul was very friendly and definitely knew his stuff, answering all questions I had.
