I have been training at Holistic Performance Lab for around 3 months and it has been a transformative experience. Getting the opportunity to train with Pati has made getting into strength training smooth and supportive even through the fears I had starting weight training as a beginner. It has allowed me to feel so much stronger, more confident, and energized. Beyond that, Pati is such a compassionate and lovely person and she has really motivated me to grow in all areas of my life finding the balance necessary to thrive through nutrition, movement, and self care. I adore the HPL community and I'd highly recommend it to if you are looking to get stronger and grow as a person! read more

I have been working with Pati for over a month and I have already experienced astounding measurable gains in my strength, muscle growth, and noticeable improvement in my resilience. Pati is supportive, precise, and very insightful in her guidance. I highly recommend her services for overall well-being! read more

Pati and her services at Holistic Performance Lab have been amazing! I came across her IG about a year and half ago promoting a yoga and sound bath event. After attending I was so impressed with her studio, energy, and beautifully inspiring and positive personality. After the event I did more research on what she offered and felt she was super aligned with my fitness and nutrition goals, when I was ready to fully commit I contacted her for her services. During the consultation she immediately remembered me and my face and said "we have met before!" and that this 6+ months later! She was exactly aligned with the type of approach and energy I was looking for. Focusing on a whole body and wellness approach, I have seen a big impact and changes to my nutrition, strength training, and fixing my posture (work from home at a desk all day). I truly appreciate her kindness, accountability, support, encouragement, and authenticity that she shows daily. I am stronger, leaner (lost belly fat), better posture, and overall feel so much more connected to my body and mind. Her style and approach is authentic and science based, I love being educated along the way. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for support in their personal journey. Thank you for all the continued support and I am so grateful to be apart of your community! read more

18 months ago, I hit my lowest point. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, overweight, and struggling with a chronic disease. It was clear that I needed to make a drastic change. When I met Patrycja, my confidence was low, and I was unsure of what to expect from this journey. Patrycja has been a huge help in reaching my fitness goals! I've seen great improvements in my strength and a noticeable drop in body fat, and I couldn't have done it without her. She brings such a positive attitude, always encouraging me and making workouts feel just right for what I need. She genuinely cares and her encouragement has pushed me to keep going. My experience with Patrycja not only helped me physically but also boosted my confidence in overcoming challenges. read more

if you are looking for results look no further amazing experience extremely kind and knowledgeable

I felt compelled to write a review for folks who are discouraged trying to find a trainer in OC! I found Pati when I was struggling with perimenopause symptoms and feeling very off, physically and mentally. I needed help starting a new routine but was also skeptical of the trainers and fitness folks I had met, many of whom seemed focused only on weight loss or selling me something new. Pati was exactly what I needed. She's smart and kind and takes a thoughtful, whole-body approach to strength training. She listened, asked questions, and really paid attention to how I was feeling. Thanks to Pati's support and encouragement, I am definitely leaner, stronger, and more connected to myself. She's an amazing trainer who pushes you while bringing a caring and steady presence. read more

Well, well, well... ANOTHER 5 star review for Pati / Holistic Performance Lab. 3 months ago, when I visited this Yelp page to scope out what Pati was all about and to see if signing up for sessions at HPL was for me, it was almost a red flag to me that there were SO many glowing reviews. All of them saying something to the affect of "Pati changed my life!" and "Pati feels like family to me now!" ... ever the skeptic, I thought hmmm ... what's the catch? Well, here I am two and a half months after starting sessions with Pati and I can easily say Pati has changed my life AND, yes, feels like family to me now. The combination of care, expertise and kindness that she brings to every session has led me to see results I didn't think possible for my body in a way that feels like a gift to my life and not a punishment or sacrifice. I look forward to every session and feel like I'm spending time with an old friend while also achieving my goals. I feel that I am truly getting healthier and healthier as a result of our work together -- not just in the gym, but as a whole person. The physical space that she has created is not only clean, calming and fully equipped, but also just feels like a place that you want to hang out. Passing other clients on my way in and way out of my sessions, I know that others feel this way too. I do not plan on letting Pati out of my life any time soon, but if I were, I feel so equipped to take the lessons, methods and mindset that she has given me into my future health journey. Working with Pati truly feels like taking a life skills class. Anywho... I could say more, but those are the main points. If you're reading this and looking for a trainer, let me leave you with the shortest and most emphatic endorsement: hire Pati. It's really that simple. read more

I always used to consider myself a fairly healthy person, until one day last year my world was forever changed. A routine trip to the doctor turned into a diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes. Feelings of shock, and embarrassment consumed me. I felt ashamed at how poor my health had truly become. After the tears subsided, I began a mission to find someone who could help me! I was determined! After months of searching, I found Pati at Holistic Performance Lab! My initial feelings of anxiety and nerves quickly vanished upon our first meeting. Pati spent a great deal of time talking with me to learn and understand not simply my diagnosis, but my overall health past, and present. We reviewed my struggles and talked about my short and long term goals for overall health, mobility, energy, and nutrition. Based on these areas, Pati created a personalized plan that addressed my specific needs. She has been a true blessing. Through our partnership I have gained muscle (I didn't think existed), lost fat and lost weight, while also learning to build a sustainable nutrition plan (very important)! Holistic Performance Lab is a rare find, supported by a knowledgeable, caring and engaged team. Pati has built an inclusive environment where you can improve your health, build your strength, and regain your confidence, no matter your age, or your background. Pati and the entire Holistic Performance Lab team has my strongest recommendation. read more

Holistic Performance Lab - Getting my workout on - Trainers Near Me - Irvine, California

See all

I'm hesitant to label Pati and her team at Holistic Performance Labs as just "personal trainers" because what they do for their clients, including me, goes far beyond that. In the six months I've worked with Pati, she has been so much more than a trainer--she's also been my nutritionist, my emotional support system, a life coach, and, above all, someone who genuinely cares about me, my goals, and how to help me achieve them. Personal training has always felt daunting to me, and I knew I needed to find someone with whom I felt comfortable--especially since talking about my body and physique has always been vulnerable for me. It only took five minutes with Pati to know she was the right person for my health journey. From the moment we met, she was warm, welcoming, and I could tell she wanted to help me build not just physical strength, but also mental and emotional resilience. In the time we've worked together, I've seen remarkable improvements not only in my physical strength, but also in my energy, mood, and overall self-care. Beyond the visible changes in my body, I've discovered countless unexpected joys that have come from the confidence and growth I've gained through HPL. I've learned that I'm flexible and have developed a love for yoga as a way to clear my mind and, with newfound confidence, I've begun exploring other hobbies I had previously felt too insecure to try. One of the most significant shifts has been how I now view exercise. At the start of my journey, I thought of it mainly as a means to improve my outward appearance. But with Pati's guidance, I've come to see movement as a way to build strength, ease my mind, and work through my emotions. Just the other day, I told Pati that, in a couple of years, I want to be able to do a pull-up--something I never thought I'd say. I always assumed I didn't have the strength or motivation to achieve it. But thanks to Pati's unwavering support, I've realized that with consistency, discipline, self-compassion, and incredible guidance, I can reach even my biggest goals, no matter how impossible they may seem. I am so incredibly grateful for everything Pati and Holistic Performance Labs have given me. read more

Pati (PATRYCJA IWANSKA) at Holistic Performance Lab is AWESOME AND AMAZING AND KNOWLEDGEABLE AND PROFESSIONAL and EXTREMELY MOTIVATING. I am extremely happy with Holistic Performance Lab (especially with Pati She highly encouraged me throughout my journey I definitely recommend Pati at Holistic Performance Lab for anyone with health issues and or chronic conditions and or dietary restrictions PS she recommended vegan and vegetarian diet options read more

Ive been with Patrycja since August 2023 and I feel so fortunate to have found her! I can't say enough amazing things about her. I look forward to each one of our sessions, not only for our workout (of course) but she is simply a genuine person that really just wants the best for me mentally, physically and emotionally. Patrycja is very knowledgeable yet very humble, she's professional yet personable, she's also very patient and I value and appreciate that in a trainer. Her facility is beautiful and calming, it's very clean/sanitized with top quality equipment which in my opinion plays into my experience during my sessions. I could easily say all other trainers I've had don't even come close to her and her team. You definitely get what you pay for here and it's worth every penny. I couldn't be more grateful! read more

I have been hesitant to go back to the gym with the pandemic lingering on... when Pati told me about her new gym, I was relieved that I would have a safe clean environment to work out at. After the personal assessment and discussing with Pati what my goals are, I knew she would be the perfect trainer to help me reach my goal. Once you walk in, it has a very inviting warm feel which is hard to find in a gym. But other than the amazing atmosphere and cleanliness of the gym, Pati is extremely knowledgeable. After having a baby 6 months ago, I have lower back pains and wasn't sure what kind of work out I would be able to do. Pati has personalized each exercise to my needs while considering my back pain. From not working out for 2 years, now I enjoy my weekly sessions with Pati on top of yoga and meditation once a week offered here with Lucinda! read more

"Strengthening and Lengthening" My body is thankful to me for trusting the owner, Pati. She's kind and she's bright, and keeps my form right with guidance from true expertise. I must say that I highly rank paleo presses and planks more than before because I get more from every rep that I crank. In terms of my diet and food, my instincts have felt more in tune-- the feedback and tracking has curbed my bad snacking and truly has lifted my mood. If you want to be liable to making good health viable then come to this lab and work out your abs and leave with your limbs pliable. I can't imagine another to help me as I still recover from a knee surgery-- so I say sincerely, thanks for your training, Pati. read more

Pati has been an integral part of both of my pregnancies. Not only did she train me during my first pregnancy, but also after. She tailored my program to strengthen my body after pregnancy and how to handle a newborn. She is very thorough and knowledgeable in all areas, not just working out but in nutrition and all parts of wellness. The facilities are extremely clean and a calm environment. I can't imagine trusting just any trainer during this delicate time of my life. read more

I've been training with Pati for a few months now, and I can honestly say I've never felt so connected to my own body. She's knowledgeable, fun, and understands how to help you reach your own goals. If I wasn't moving out of the area soon, I would've stayed here for a very long time. Thank you! read more

Tired of waiting for equipment? Don't have to wait here! My trainer Jose has been working with me the past year and it's so nice having a private fitness center with one on one training. Holistic performance lab is clean, offers amenities like coffee, bottled water, modern shower and Dyson hair dryer (won't even find this at equinox), and really friendly trainers. They have even offered Muslim female clients the ability to train with no other men in the facility. Jose has helped me gain the confidence to know how to workout for my body type and personal goals. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Pati is the perfect combination of professional and personable. I was referred to her by a colleague who understood my passion of taking a more holistic approach with fitness and nutrition. I was sold on my first meeting with Pati. She really wanted to get to know me as a person and my relationship with food, fitness, sleep, and my overall outlook on health. Being a Type A personality, I loved her attention to detail and how thorough she was in explaining fitness and meal prepping. We discussed my personal goals and she has tailored workouts to meet my needs and address some limitations I have. I appreciate her warmth and patience. She challenges and motivates me during our workouts and explains why specific moves/routines are beneficial for me. I always walk out of her studio feeling like I get a solid workout and have been seeing results. read more

Pati is the seriously the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. She really listens to your needs and problems and help achieve your goals. She's super sweet but don't let that sweetness fool you, she will work every inch of your muscle, even the ones you didn't know existed...but will thank her later. Every minute is worth it working with her! read more

I can't recommend Holistic Performance Lab enough. Pati has changed my life. I'm healthier, more active and confident since I started working out with Pati in December. She's increíble! read more

Finding my way to Pati at Holistic Performance Lab has been a true gift. Growing older and working in professions that have me seated for hours on end has changed my life: less energy, less mobility, more aches and random pains. Of course I KNOW all the good ways to move my body, to nourish my body and to reduce my stress - but finding the motivation and consistency has been a major challenge. The traditional gym/trainer scene has never been a good fit for me and yet "working out" on my own hasn't really been something that inspires me either. After my latest attempt to get moving resulted in another wrong-fit, I did a search for a place that would meet me right where I am. Pati has created an environment that empowers, honors and inspires her clients to trust and challenge their bodies and minds. The gym itself has all the usual trappings plus pieces that make it more well-rounded: red light therapy for each post-work out, a Pilates reformer machine, lovely bathroom and shower area, not to mention zen-like touches throughout. Pati tailors my workouts based on my own personal goals, not some one-size-fits-all system, and consistently checks in to see how things are going both in the workout and between sessions. Pati brings her whole self to each session and creates space for me to do the same. I can honestly say these are the first workouts where I am not fighting a voice inside my head shouting "I hate this, I am never coming back!" I keep coming back and am finding my way back to moving with greater ease in my body and in my life. If you are looking for an expert trainer with unique and nuanced methods who can help you identify, meet and support your goals - Holistic Performance Lab should be on your list. read more

My experience with Pati at Holistic Performance Lab has been so incredibly impactful. I met Pati at a time when I wanted to change the trajectory of my health and fitness and needed someone who could guide me in a holistic way. Pati's approach means that I have gotten SO much more out of personal training. She keeps me accountable and motivated to make good nutrition choices. My workouts with her are incredibly challenging and effective because of her thorough knowledge about movement, fitness, and the body. Her expertise in customizing my training program means that I have seen progress and results, including a steady increase in muscle mass and positive change in body composition. Most importantly, Pati is a genuine, intuitive, encouraging, and intentional person who really cares about her clients and her space, and it shows. She has done an amazing job not only in creating a beautiful sanctuary of a gym, but also in creating a community and safe space where you can begin or grow in your holistic health journey. read more

Post covid, decided if I went back to a gym it would be on my terms. I was looking for more personalized one-on-one training. Found Jose Cardona when I searched for a certified personal trainer and he was the perfect match for what I was looking for. He helps you figure out realistic goals and mindful of injuries. He and Patty (if you prefer a female trainer) train at a smaller scale gym that is VERY clean, small one-on-one training so no crowds. My original goal was to try this for 6mo and it has now been nearly 9mo. I've decided this is the right fit for what I was looking for, I've seen results and both Jose and Patty are not only professionals, they're very approachable and friendly. There is a sense of calm and you feel very welcome compared to some gyms where you are either just another member or way too sterile. Definitely worth investing in your self at Hollistic Perf Lab. read more

This is a cute, clean, and well equipped facility! I come here to receive massage therapy services from Katt! She is hands-down the absolute best massage therapist. Her knowledge of anatomy is obvious as she works. She is able to provide deep tissue relief without making you feel uncomfortable. Her room set-up is very relaxing. She even provides hot stone, cupping, and more which provides even more relaxing benefits. She is so wonderful. 10/5 stars. I recommend her to everyone! Do yourself a favor and get a massage from her. It's wonderful. read more

Pati has changed my life! I decided to get a trainer after gaining some weight from the pandemic. I really expected her to just focus on the workouts themselves but Pati also helped me with understanding better food choices, giving me advice on my sleep routine, and always checking in on me between our sessions. Since I started with her I've lost more than 10 lbs and am now on the journey to start gaining muscle! She's made working out something I actually enjoy doing. When she told me she was starting her own gym, I didn't hesitate at all and cancelled my membership with my old gym to join Holistic Performance. She has all the equipment you'd need, everything is so clean, and there's parking spaces right in front of the gym. With COVID still around, I love how much safer I feel in this space compared to a crowded busy gym. You definitely will not be able to go back to a regular gym after you experience a training session here! (: read more

I never thought I would hire a personal trainer but since I am so clueless when it comes to fitness, I decided to just do it. Since then I have never been happier and has by far been one of the best decision of my life. Pati is THE BEST instructor/trainer/coach ever. She takes the time to understand how your body work, what body parts to focus on, and creates a plan that is catered to your own needs. She is very knowledgeable and has many years of experience. The space itself is very chic, modern, and clean. I feel extremely comfortable and safe when I am there. I highly recommend this investment towards your health and future. read more

I have been training with Pati for four years. She has created the most wonderful gym and I love being there. It's very intimate and I love the personal touches that make it feel like a home. She offers everything that will improve your well being and each client is given whatever their individual goals are. Additionally, I love the user friendly location, it's a treat to just park right in front without the hassle of a parking structure. Kathy Humphries read more

Pati is an amazing trainer! I have not trained with her in person since I lived in Poland many years ago, but we have been meeting virtually since 2020. Not only is she a kind, thoughtful and sweet person, but she is great at motivating me and encouraging me to push harder when I don't think I can. She is extremely knowledgeable in all things fitness (as well as mind/body) and even over zoom she can tell if I am not using proper form. I always look forward to my sessions with her and have seen great results, and she has also been able to guide me through several injuries. I highly recommend Pati as a trainer! read more

Pati is fantastic! She is kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. I started functional training with her a few days a week without changing my diet, and after about a month, I had already begun to see a decrease in my body fat, and an increase in muscle mass! She continues to motivate and support me unlike any other trainer I've had. I have signed up for another package; and will start working on what I put into my body, and expect to see even better results! I highly recommend Pati and her team of trainers to anyone looking to make changes in their health and mindset. read more

Pati has been such an amazing gift to us. She gets to know you and your needs and works all aspects of training and health to achieve your goals. It's more than a workout The Lab is a lifestyle. Do the extra classes offered too you won't be disappointed! read more
