I wanted to learn what to do and what not to do in the gym. I had also put on about 10-15 lbs after entering my 50's and going through menopause. In less than 4 months, I dropped 15 lbs. I also have learned from Mel exactly what machines to do for each specific body part along with how many reps, sets, and weight to lift. Mel has truly been instrumental in changing my life and I am so grateful to have met her. K. Hill

I wanted to start getting back in shape after years of not doing any type of exercise. I'm so glad…read moreI met Mel! Mel took the time to understand my goals and tailored my workouts to fit my fitness level and eased me back into working out. I did group classes and the others in the group were great- working out didn't feel like a chore. I really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was and always did her best to make me feel comfortable but challenged me to work harder. After 2-3 weeks, I felt myself getting stronger and it's been great since. If you're on the fence about getting a trainer, you can't go wrong with Mel.

Rebecca is exactly what I needed after being burned so many times in the fitness world. A lot of…read morepersonal trainers focus on shame tactics or hyper focus on weight but Rebecca respected my boundaries and worked with me to help me lose weight without triggering my trauma with diet culture and obsessing over calories or the scale. She is encouraging and tracks my data for me so I don't feel the stress of the numbers. I have lost weight and improved my bloodwork greatly and it's all thanks to her! I love that she focuses on improvement and longevity versus getting results quickly. However, she has given me the best results that I haven't gotten in a long time but in a sustainable way.

Amber had early classes…read morewhich is exactly what I needed. 8 weeks later I love her routines and I have kept off a steady 25lbs. 1 downsize to Amber and her training techniques is you will need to purchase a new wardrobe . She has lots of nutritional suggestions that helped me even more. I keep going back because I could see the results from all training and my hard work. I kept telling myself It won't work if you don't go. I made the commitment. I went and I am so glad I did. Everyone in the classes had the same goals which made it that much better. I did try a gym which was good but I found myself standing around. I like to be pushed and Amber did just that. She pushed me and I really appreciate her Style. Thank you Amber

I got a lot of Amber's six-week challenge: great nutritional advice, meal planning, ongoing support…read moreand adaptation, and TONS of encouragement. I went for the nutritional support, but also thrived in the workout classes. Although I'm athletic, I had never systematically lifted weights before. I learned a lot and got demonstrably stronger. The challenge--and the whole Holistix experience--is great. I signed up for the Challenge because the timing coincided with my schedule for radiation therapy to treat breast cancer. Amber was receptive to my needs to adapt both nutrition and exercise. I know the structure and Amber's program helped my body through a difficult period. I'm stronger and healthier now, despite the effects of radiation.

I honestly cannot say enough how much Ashley has changed the game for me. I train jiu jitsu and…read morework a full time job and it was definitely taking a toll physically. I struggled with proper nutrition and balance in my schedule because a lot of other trainers I contacted didn't understand the dynamics of being a bjj practitioner. Luckily the universe brought Ashley into my life and she's made such a huge positive impact on me. She personalized a nutrition plan (notice I did not say diet!) that works for my body and my activity level. Cutting weight for tournaments is no longer a struggle and isn't a miserable process. She's helped me greatly with hormonal imbalance issues that I didn't even realize were causing other problems in my life. She structured my workouts specifically to problem areas (problems as in injuries I had previously sustained through training) and what works for my schedule and body. The thing that was the most insightful and game changing for me was the mind-body-spirit connection and harmony she helped me achieve. It's made such a huge difference in my every day life and I honestly can't thank her enough for all she has done for me. She is an absolute gift and one of the best human beings I've had the pleasure of knowing. I can't recommend her enough! Love you Ash!!

Finding and connecting with Coach Ashley has been the best thing in my athletic career. To find a…read morefemale coach that's so well refined in the industry, and so experienced and dedicated to her work, and her clientele is something that is hard to find in the fitness industry. I was so happy when Ashley moved to Irvine so I could work with her in person. Her professionalism, knowledge and education is some thing that is rare in this industry. To find a well educated, poised, and honestly cool as fuck person to work with, and help me improve how I connect in with my body and mind is truly a blessing . I love that Ashley can work specifically with athletes, children and general population and has such a wide range of expertise. This isn't just a "workout" program you'd receive. It's an intelligently designed personal human design program to improve your mind, body, and soul. Coach Ashley is TRULY one of a kind trainer. If you're looking to up your game in your sport, get back into fitness as a lifestyle client, or up your connection to spirit and yourself, coach Ash is your girl. She was a professional athlete for many years and has more education about human mechanics and design then your run of the mill, fresh out of Highschool big box "trainer". If you're ready to up your game and fitness and your knowledge about how to properly move, live and breathe in your own body look no further Coach Ash is your girl . Honestly life changing since I've started working with her.

I have been training with Hannah 3 days a week, for a few months now (we had to take a break…read morebecause of Covid). When I started I was 20-months postpartum with my fourth child. I had low-energy, was having difficulty breathing after just walking up a flight of stairs, had almost no strength or muscle tone, and just generally unhappy with my body. But I had very little time to focus on myself between work and kids. I found Hannah through a recommendation from another mom. Her rates are very reasonable, she is willing to travel locally to your house and I had the option of 25 minute workouts. I decided to make the investment in myself and it has been the best thing for me and my family. She comes on time with very tailored workout plans each session. The workouts are deceiving, at the time I think the workout was "not so bad," but I'm totally sore for the next three days. Now I have much more energy, more strength, the heavy breathing issue has become moot. We have taken progress pictures and my results have been unbelievable. I have used other trainers in the past, I can tell you Hannah is really set apart because she is extremely knowledgeable in working with a female "mombod." Also, on a personal note: Hannah has been joy to my soul to be around three times a week, especially through this pandemic.

Hannah is an amazing trainer. She listens to your needs and comes up with creative workouts that…read moreare not only intense but also fun to do. I love that she gives me " homework" in between sessions and gives me advice on what I need to do to reach my goal. I saw great results with Hannah as my trainer and feel more energetic and good about myself. I always look forward to my next session. I like that Hannah creates a different session plan each time we meet and I never know what to expect next. It never gets boring. The only reason I can afford a personal trainer is due to Hannah's very reasonable prices. I feel that most trainers charge a high fee and do not even give you any workouts for in between sessions. I am very grateful I found Hannah as a trainer

He creates an encouraging environment and makes the process feel comfortable and easy to learn the workouts.

I needed to tone up. I only wanted to lose 15 pounds. I recommend Doug. He is focused, and he will design a training program to fit your needs/goals. DM me with any questions.

It will be the best decision you've made for yourself in your whole life. Three months ago I was feeling defeated because everything I was doing fitness wise seems to stop working. My energy level was very low and I was gaining weights and stressing out about it. So I decided to get a personal trainer and I was so fortunate to find Doug. After getting a consultation over the phone, Doug invited me for a complimentary in person consult and training session to test my fitness level and set goals. Fast forward three months, I have lost 7 lbs the healthiest way.. my energy level is over the roof. I am happier, sleep better and my physics is looking much better and toner. I start seeing muscle definitions upper and lower body. Doug is so dedicated, encouraging and knowledgeable.. He goes above and beyond to work with my goals. He is so passionate about helping people. He knows exactly what I need to get during a workout session. Always on time and always shows up. I highly recommend Doug to all my family and friends. I am so thankful for everything I've achieved so far with his expertise and dedication.

This current period started back in August 2017 and 6 months later I'm truly happy with how strength in my accessory work has helped me build my main lifts. His expertise and approach to flexible dieting has also helped me a lot, because if you and I are friends on Yelp then you already know that I eat for a family of 4, lol! So his guidance with nutrition has helped so much, as I can lift and still keep my membership at Yogurtland active. I highly recommend signing up with him if you want a realistic approach to training, nutrition, and adopting habits for long-term health and fitness. You will not be disappointed - I have trained with him for 8 years now and have no regrets or complaints. Thanks, D!

I would give a 6th star if possible…read more I have grown up chubby and fat my entire life. I always found comfort in food, and never really cared to take care of myself. I more importantly didn't want to put in the work necessary to lose weight. Around June of last year I started feeling very sluggish and I was terrified I maybe had neglected myself too long and had gotten diabetes. Luckily, tests came back stating I did not, and I decided I wanted to make a change right then and there. I am turning 30 this year, and I cant imagine how much of my life I have wasted being inactive and unhealthy and I wanted to change that. My best friend actually started working out with Dung a few weeks prior to me making contact with him. I was always weary of personal trainers, obviously the time and money commitment, but more so I have the stereotypical jock/bully from HS image of trainers in my head. I started working out with Dung in the middle of June 2013. It was the most excruciating thing in the world for me at first. I couldn't breath and felt like I was sitting more than exercising. When Dung went over my nutrition plan with me, he really sat down and explained to me why he was putting me on the diet he was. He explained the science behind and just how exactly everything would break down into my body and the benefit of eating a particular way. Dung, is not your atypical trainer, he tests you to know and understand your limits, but he continues to push you. I've worked out with him for 8 months and he constantly finds new and challenging things for me to do. Where I find Dung to be an invaluable resource is on the nutrition side. He is always available for me when I have a question about something I'm trying to make or eat and has suggestions on how to make it healthier or why I cannot eat a particular thing and the affect it would have on my body. Over 8 months, I have lost 100 lbs. I came to Dung weighing 321 lbs and now weigh 220. I never thought that would be possible, and honestly when I started I thought 100 would be my goal, and I would get there in 18 months. Now I am pushing for new and different goals. I've become very addicted to the fitness life. I know its cheesy to say, but the best investment you can make is in yourself. For me, this experience has and will continue to be worth every penny. I am forever indebted to Dung for the impact he has made on my life and the change he has helped foster within me to make a better life for myself.
