I have been training at Hideout with Hunter for over 3 months now and it has been hands down the…read moreabsolute best experience. I wanted to try my hand at powerlifting and work on my overall strength since I don't get to move too often for my job. Since starting my training with Hunter, I have seen so much improvement in my overall fitness and nutrition habits. I'm the leanest I have ever been and can lift heavier than I ever thought I could. My trainer is extremely knowledgeable and walks me through each exercise as many times as I need to make sure I understand and have proper form. I feel completely at ease and look forward to each session. He also puts up with my shenanigans which is a definite plus. Hideout Fitness itself is a great space, too. Usually, gyms are incredibly intimidating, especially if you're unsure of what you're doing. Hideout is extremely welcoming as the other trainers will go out of their way to make you feel seen and to cheer you on. 12/10 would recommend Hideout to anyone who needs any fitness guidance and may be a little nervous, like I was. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with Hideout and Hunter!

I started training at Hideout Fitness in January, about six months after the birth of my second…read morebaby. Because I had a fairly delicate pregnancy and was being extra cautious, I didn't work out much during pregnancy. By the time I returned, I had taken nearly 16 months off from consistent training, and it showed. My strength, mobility, and overall fitness had regressed significantly. Anyone who has been through a postpartum journey knows how challenging it can be to start again while breastfeeding, functioning on interrupted sleep, and adjusting to a body that feels different than it once did. What impressed me most about Hideout was how well the trainers understood this. They took the time to assess where I was physically, identify my strengths and weaknesses, and guide me back one step at a time. On my first day, I was incredibly tight and hesitant. I struggled to squat and was genuinely nervous about even gently bending my knee. Four months later, I was barbell squatting 110 pounds without pain. That transformation is just one example. The improvements in my strength, mobility, range of motion, and overall fitness have been incredibly encouraging. The progress has been so rewarding that I rarely miss a session--even on the days when I'm exhausted. My coach does an exceptional job of meeting me where I am each day, modifying workouts based on my energy levels, recovery, and capabilities while still keeping me moving toward my goals. What Hideout offers is more than just workouts. They have a team of knowledgeable, educated, and highly skilled coaches who understand that every person is different. They tailor their approach to each individual's body, strengths, limitations, and goals. That level of personalization makes all the difference. It takes a lot to trust someone with your body and your health. I can unequivocally say that placing my trust in Hideout Fitness was one of the best decisions I made. I've worked with some phenomenal trainers over the years, so I don't give strong recommendations lightly. This team truly knows what they're doing, and they bring genuine passion and dedication to their work. Your success feels like their success, and that's a rare quality to find. I wholeheartedly recommend Hideout Fitness to anyone looking to make meaningful progress on their fitness journey. Whether you're returning after a long break, navigating postpartum recovery, or simply trying to become stronger and healthier, you're in excellent hands.

Andy Shin changed my life…read more When I turned 40, I attended a Tony Robbins event and completed a life assessment. I rated nearly every area of my life a 10 out of 10 except one: my health. That was a 2. Five years earlier, I had been in the best shape of my life. Somewhere along the way, I lost my relationship with fitness. It wasn't just that I stopped going to the gym. I lost the motivation, confidence, and connection to the part of myself that enjoyed taking care of my body. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't seem to find my way back. Then I met Andy through a friend. From our first interaction, his energy, presence, and genuine belief in what was possible made me excited to try again. As an Asian American man, seeing someone who embodied strength, discipline, confidence, and authenticity was deeply inspiring. He wasn't just teaching fitness. He was showing me what was possible. The results have been incredible. My body has transformed, but more importantly, I've rebuilt my relationship with health and fitness. I've regained confidence, consistency, and pride in myself. For the first time in years, I feel connected to my body again. I live an hour away and happily make that drive every week because the impact Andy has had on my life is worth far more than the time spent getting there. If you're struggling to get started, feeling stuck, or trying to reconnect with a healthier version of yourself, I can't recommend Andy highly enough. Working with him has been one of the best investments I've made in myself.

I cannot recommend Priscilla enough for your training needs! Gyms were always intimidating for me,…read moreand consistency was difficult to maintain, but Priscilla really changed that for me. She motivated me to continually work on the things I struggled with while still meeting me where I was when it came to mobility and strength (I was a girly with tense hips and a weak core ). She also knew when to call me out when things were getting too easy and I was trying to be sly. It was truly the kind of partnership I needed to push myself out of my comfort zone. I went from hating the idea of going to the gym to being eager to find out if the week was going to start with a lower or upper body day. But Priscilla's care went beyond our sessions. As a graduate student, there were times when I would procrastinate a little too hard, and she always encouraged me to prioritize studying when the semester started to get tougher. She was always so understanding and considerate when my personal life was lifing, while still motivating me to get back to it when I could. That balance of compassion and accountability made all the difference. She truly fosters a sense of community both inside and outside of the gym. I'm so grateful for the confidence, strength, and consistency she helped me build during my time there!

But I've been training with Priscilla since March and the progress I've seen is incredible! I told her that I had specific aesthetic goals for myself and was worried about my arms getting too big and I'm so happy to know she listened and I love SO amazing 4 months later. I see her 3x a week, so I get a little discount per month which is a great incentive to stay disciplined! She is so great about making sure I'm activating the correct muscles, building good mind to body connections, and honing in on good form before moving up in weights or difficulty. I really appreciate that she pushes me to perform to the best of my ability at the gym and I look forward so much to training now! Of course it comes down to how disciplined you're willing to be and how much time you're willing to put into the gym, but the investment you make now will be priceless when you're older. I've seen people of all ages training here and I'm also very secretly proud of them for coming just as often as I do! Everyone on this team is so welcoming, nonjudgmental, and genuinely so intuitive and detail-oriented when it comes to your needs and wants. Also the new gym is SO nice! I highly recommend anyone on the team, no matter how new or experienced you are to strength training, etc!

Let me tell you, his training changed my whole body! My body has transformed completely from a regular female body with not much strength in the upper body, to one that has muscle definition, energy and strength. Body changes: Belly before: a little pouch, kind of pudgy, but some core strength from yoga Belly after: smaller waist, OBLIQUES showing, lean and very strong core muscles Chest before: just lean, not much strength Chest after: visible nice looking layer of chest muscles that is not too much, still feminine and look strong and healthy like a celebrity Shoulders before: rounded, not very good posture, very normal looking Shoulders after: shoulder look leaner, more angular and look much better in clothes. I even have super defined muscles when I flex and it's crazy amazing! Arms before: slightly fat in the upper arm, probably have some hidden muscles to begin with Arms after: that layer of fat is replaced by strong muscle definition and they look so good and feel stronger Legs before: chubby and not too strong. I am built with more fat in this area Legs after: stronger quads and better looking calves! Unbelievable. It's not making me become someone with hot model legs but I look much better than before! Coach Norm is so kind, so compassionate, and most importantly, his workouts feel like checking in with my buddy. We joke around while he gives me complex moves while carefully observing my form and help me make micro adjustments so my workout is more effective and safe. He's really good at not pushing me to the brink of hating working out and always let me stop a set early if he spots that I am struggling with it, so I don't get injured. With his charisma, caring attitude and expertise in the industry I couldn't recommend him enough!

Because I had a fairly delicate pregnancy and was being extra cautious, I didn't work out much during pregnancy. By the time I returned, I had taken nearly 16 months off from consistent training, and it showed. My strength, mobility, and overall fitness had regressed significantly. Anyone who has been through a postpartum journey knows how challenging it can be to start again while breastfeeding, functioning on interrupted sleep, and adjusting to a body that feels different than it once did. What impressed me most about Hideout was how well the trainers understood this. They took the time to assess where I was physically, identify my strengths and weaknesses, and guide me back one step at a time. On my first day, I was incredibly tight and hesitant. I struggled to squat and was genuinely nervous about even gently bending my knee. Four months later, I was barbell squatting 110 pounds without pain. That transformation is just one example. The improvements in my strength, mobility, range of motion, and overall fitness have been incredibly encouraging. The progress has been so rewarding that I rarely miss a session--even on the days when I'm exhausted. My coach does an exceptional job of meeting me where I am each day, modifying workouts based on my energy levels, recovery, and capabilities while still keeping me moving toward my goals. What Hideout offers is more than just workouts. They have a team of knowledgeable, educated, and highly skilled coaches who understand that every person is different. They tailor their approach to each individual's body, strengths, limitations, and goals. That level of personalization makes all the difference. It takes a lot to trust someone with your body and your health. I can unequivocally say that placing my trust in Hideout Fitness was one of the best decisions I made. I've worked with some phenomenal trainers over the years, so I don't give strong recommendations lightly.

Andy Shin Fitness

Andy Shin changed my life…read more When I turned 40, I attended a Tony Robbins event and completed a life assessment. I rated nearly every area of my life a 10 out of 10 except one: my health. That was a 2. Five years earlier, I had been in the best shape of my life. Somewhere along the way, I lost my relationship with fitness. It wasn't just that I stopped going to the gym. I lost the motivation, confidence, and connection to the part of myself that enjoyed taking care of my body. No matter how many times I tried, I couldn't seem to find my way back. Then I met Andy through a friend. From our first interaction, his energy, presence, and genuine belief in what was possible made me excited to try again. As an Asian American man, seeing someone who embodied strength, discipline, confidence, and authenticity was deeply inspiring. He wasn't just teaching fitness. He was showing me what was possible. The results have been incredible. My body has transformed, but more importantly, I've rebuilt my relationship with health and fitness. I've regained confidence, consistency, and pride in myself. For the first time in years, I feel connected to my body again. I live an hour away and happily make that drive every week because the impact Andy has had on my life is worth far more than the time spent getting there. If you're struggling to get started, feeling stuck, or trying to reconnect with a healthier version of yourself, I can't recommend Andy highly enough. Working with him has been one of the best investments I've made in myself.

Where do I even begin? Working with Janice has been one of the most supportive, healing, and…read moreempowering experiences of my entire health journey. I originally found Janice online after struggling for a full year with a painful shoulder impingement. I had injured myself in an intense cardio gym class where no one was really checking form or offering personalized guidance, something that unfortunately happens far too often in the fitness world. I knew I needed someone who could bridge the gap between physical therapy-level care and the kind of strength training I wanted to pursue for long-term health, confidence, and longevity. That's exactly what I found in Janice. From day one, she was that perfect hybrid... She was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive to every detail, and deeply invested in my well-being. She helped me rebuild strength safely, correct my form, and get back to moving in a way that felt good for my body. Training with her was an absolute joy--encouraging, challenging, and always rooted in care. Then life took an unexpected turn. After about a year of working together, I got severely sick from food poisoning. That episode uncovered a whole cascade of underlying health issues I never knew I had. Suddenly, my entire quality of life changed including my ability to train consistently. I had to stop and start multiple times, not because of anything related to the workouts, but because my health was unstable and unpredictable. And this is where Janice truly showed what makes her extraordinary. She didn't just support me physically, she supported me emotionally, mentally, and compassionately throughout the entire ordeal. She was patient when I had to pause. She checked in on me with genuine care. She listened to me, really listened, when I was scared or confused about what was happening with my health. She encouraged me when I felt discouraged. She helped keep me grounded and motivated during some of the most challenging months of my life. Her empathy and kindness became a lifeline. She didn't treat me like "just a client" she treated me like a human being going through something difficult and when I was finally able to return to training, she met me exactly where I was and helped me build myself back up again, safely and sustainably. Janice is so much more than a trainer. She is a healer, a coach, a motivator, and a genuinely compassionate soul. She cares deeply, shows up fully, and manages to make you feel supported every step of the way, both physically and emotionally. I am beyond grateful for her. She has been a huge part of my recovery, my strength, and my renewed confidence in my body. If you're looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond, who understands the human side of fitness, and who will walk with you through the ups and downs then Janice is that person. I couldn't recommend her more highly!

As you can see in one of the pictures, it's was a warm welcome and the gym is intimate and inviting.

They also have an area for one on one sessions. Thrive has a purpose! Geared toward people over 40. The purpose is to make sure you don't quit.

I met G in early October when I responded to a post she made on next-door that spoke directly to me…read morein that exact moment. Entering that phase in a early 50 year-old woman's life, I was freaking out over having gained 10 pounds in less than six months with no end in sight of the scale continuing to go up. I had no idea what was happening, I had no control over the situation, I felt I was already eating as helpful as possible, I was very active playing tennis walking just taking care of my family. And all I could see was. a future where I ended up like my mom. so when her post came across next-door, I responded immediately and she got back to me immediately. We set up a consultation which was informative, and I immediately felt very confident in her, her specialty with women in my exact situation, her focus on not only strength training in increasing muscle mass increasing bone density, but also reviewing the nutritional inputs and converting how I think and have thought for very many years about what is healthy, eating, to be more macro based, and a totally different way than I feel we've been taught for years. I think one of the first rules she taught me was if you look at the calories of a serving and you look at the protein grams, add a 0 to the grams of protein and if it's not equal or higher than the calorie count, then it is not considered a high protein food. That was huge for me to hear, and a tool I could immediately use and I immediately was able to take that little piece of knowledge and put it into practice and totally changed the dynamic of how much protein I was eating and how to choose higher protein foods. She was able to keep my options simple enough for me to follow, while also providing me with just enough variety and wiggle room to allow me to maintain my comfort zone, while also making small adjustments here and there. For instance, I've kept my morning latte, but I changed the quantity of milk and the type of milk I'm using. And I have kids and a family to feed so I don't have all the time in the world to make special meals and weigh everything. So she was able to work with me to find the changes I could implement that would have the highest impact. And also take baby steps. Now for the good stuff, the workouts. Oh my FG. The workouts are killer. I started with one workout a week for one hour, and even though I had been doing a 20 minute strength training program for about a year before I met G, this was a completely different experience. This is not your weight training, strength training program from the 90s or early 2000s. This is a whole other type of beast. She may not make you barf, but she will make you cry! Lol ... in a good way. But everything is done very safely, she's very very knowledgeable in terms of form and spots you and or the equipment at all times. This is not a trainer who's on their phone while you're pushing out reps. She is 100% focused on you and what you're doing, making small form adjustments, counting down, words of encouragement, and a little lift here and there as required! The gym is also pretty great. If you go after 9:30 and I would assume before five, the place is practically empty. It's for personal trainers only, so there's always equipment and the quality is fantastic. Within two months, the weight started dropping, and my body started changing before my very eyes. I was comfortable wearing a bikini again over the Christmas holidays! And of course, as most people do, over the Christmas holidays I also ate a little bit more freely than I had been doing, but I kept my breakfasts very disciplined, and continued to go on walks, but for 2 1/2 weeks did not do any strength training., And I returned home weighing exactly the same amount as I did when I had left. I guess that's the power of muscle burning fat. So, being a glutton for punishment (but also because I wanted to charge up my results) I decided to add a second day to my workout plan. It is also easier too. One work out a week is so painful but 2 your body is ready for it and she can space out all the hard stuff a little more. Since then, I broke through my weight plateau and hit my first goal. Dropping those 10 lbs. And my strength has increased markedly, and my body has changed a lot! I can wear pants that I had given up on but kept anyway. I still have maybe 5 pounds to go to be at my ultimate goal weight. I've also lost about 5% points of body fat which is huge! And my physical transformation is huge. It's not even about weight now. It's about rebuilding muscle and maintaining a healthy and strong body as I head into the next phase of life! I highly highly recommend any woman who is in her early 40s mid 40s late 40s early 50s whatever, get your ass in gear girl and get moving and get lifting - you can control what is going on with your body you just need a coach, a mentor, a friend, and G is all of these things.

Because I'd been training for years, I'd wanted to be able to guide myself without outside help, but I kept hitting the same obstacles year after year. I decided to give coaching a try. I was also scared of being yelled at by the stereotypically rigid fitness coaches. I shut down when I'm constantly criticized, so I've been cautious about seeking more thorough advice. I'm happy to say that Glayol exceeded my expectations by conducting very thorough reviews on my lifestyle and goals, providing lots of positive reinforcement and encouragement, and educating me on the process throughout it all. I've been working remotely with Glayol on the starter plan for about 4 months. Before working with her, I was trying to do too many things at once and was kind of half good at all of them. I felt overwhelmed by online advice and struggled with consistency, focus, and mindset blocks like perfectionism and an all-or-nothing attitude that held me back. Glayol helped me simplify everything and gave me clear direction with an objective way to track whether I was improving, instead of just guessing. She tracks my progress in the gym and nutrition for me and answers all my questions, so I don't have to worry or get overwhelmed by the numbers. I also really like the coaching app, which is convenient and probably the best fitness app I've tried (MyFitnessPal pales in comparison). One of the biggest changes has been with my eating habits, I binge a lot less now and have learned practical ways to eat well even when traveling or in challenging situations. Also, I didn't even realize I was bloated almost every single day until I started implementing Glayol's nutrition guidance and began experiencing life without constant bloating. Glayol helped me work through mental blocks I didn't realize were holding me back, and that has made a huge difference in my confidence and motivation. For the first time, I feel like I'm building sustainable habits, gaining strength, and rebuilding trust with my body. The difference has been huge and so positive in such a short time. I'd highly recommend working with Glayol if you're feeling frustrated and overwhelmed in your fitness journey.
