When looking for a trainer I relied heavily on reviews, so wanted to pay it forward and leave one of my own in hopes of helping someone else find Jarret. So now for the important part, I have been training with Jarret for the past 2 months and it's been great. He makes it a point to really get to know you and your goals so that he can customize your workouts. I really appreciate that because I've had trainers that basically copy and paste all their clients workouts or ones who forget your injuries/weaknesses and ignore them. The thing I love most is that Jarret is awesome at pushing you to your limits and making you feel great when you achieve those things you didn't know you were capable of. There have been many instances where I have doubted myself but he pushed me to try something that I realized I could actually do. Those moments always feel great. He's always really positive and training with him has been a lot of fun and a challenge. The training space is really good too. Plenty of equipment. Never over crowded. Everyone is respectful of each others space and nice. Parking isn't too bad. There are meters all around.

What can I say about Tracy Wolk. . .CALL HER! Tracy is an awesome personal trainer; she's…read moreattentive, kind, motivating, and will help you get the results you want. But if you haven't picked up your phone yet here's some more. Honestly I hate working out. If I could eat chocolate chip cookies and Ben&Jerry's all the time and still loose weight I would (I mean really who wouldn't). But alas I have to workout and I've done A LOT of different programs and I even had a personal trainer before. Yet, wether for lack of motivation or self defeat, nothing stuck. Then at the beginning of this year I had my first workout with Tracy; I had such a good time, we laughed we cried (literally), and at the end I was hooked! After that day my husband always comments on what a perfect fit Tracy is for me. We both have daughters who we adore, hence the crying (lol). She's not overly cheery, like those bitches in the workout videos. She's very knowledgable about almost everything under the sun. She's helped me physically and personally and you will know she really cares about you as complete person. You will love the results and you will love her. So call her, it will be the best money you will spend on yourself. And the best "me time" you can schedule.

Rest assured, there is hope and her name is Tracy! Tracy loves seeing her clients succeed not just in fitness and health but in their lives. She firmly believes in the connection between exercise and happiness. Her positive attitude coupled with her extensive knowledge of the human body make her the ideal personal trainer. She wants to see you achieve all your goals! Beyond her upbeat but grounded personality, she understands that every client is unique in their relationship to exercise and their fitness needs. She utilizes humor and excellent listening skills to provide the right mental setting for maximum results. You'll have fun while you exercise, maybe even feel relief about that job interview you messed up or the guy who didn't call back after a great first date. Exercise with Tracy is almost like therapy! The typical 30 min session flies by but, trust me, you'll be feeling the burn for days (depending on how fast your muscles recover). Honestly, even if your goal is to get into the best shape of your life, 30 min sessions are all you need whether you choose daily workouts or only 2-3 times a week, you'll see results and feel the positive changes in your life. And friends and family will notice the difference! I highly recommend signing up with Tracy. You have nothing to lose but... stubborn fat and excess weight. Be prepared for a simple routine that will kick your gluts (and other body parts) into serious shape.

I've been training with Kelly for 3 years and he has completely transformed my life. No joke…read more Seriously, the way he trains is an all-inclusive system approach so that you can create healthy habits and reach goals you never thought you could. I'm not an athletic person and I'd rather swallow glass than go to the gym. But, training with Kelly changed all that. He truly inspired me to be healthy and an all around better version of myself. Since training not only have I reached my physical goals but forming those good habits has also inspired both my professional and personal lives. To call him a trainer really doesn't do him or the Evokfit system justice. But, don't get the wrong idea...he's not a cult like some group training centers around LA. He cares too much about each client to ever become that. There are a lot of great trainers in LA...I know, because I have experience with many of them. However, not a single one was ever able to get to my core except for Kelly. (I mean that LITERALLY and figuratively!) Kelly gives you a lifestyle jolt into the right direction. Call him today. You will not regret it!

Having spent…read moremost of my life feeling "skinny fat", I mistakenly thought excessive cardio and a little weight lifting would achieve my fitness goals, but Bills candid assessment that I needed to "gain muscle" was a game changer. Through Bill's guidance and training I've managed to gain over 15 pounds of muscle while maintaining a low body fat %. The results are noticeable, compliments are plenty, and I am no longer asked "do I work out" , but rather "How often do you work out?". We're not done yet, but he continues to keep the workouts fresh and he's still showing my new exercises along with nutrition & motivation tips almost every session.

They recommended Will and it was a great choice for me! Will's approach was a combination of strength building, core training, flexing, mobility, moving on to free weights and machines once I had things moving in the right direction. I lost 20 lbs. of fat and built some solid muscle. Best investment I ever made. Great trainer, easy to get along with. Very LGBT friendly, and good looking -- even for a straight guy!

Working out with Will is always a treat. He is one of the most attentive, alert, and positive…read moretrainers I've ever exercised with! I train with him on a timed circuit, and he is always one step ahead, having the next weight ready to go and giving clear instruction with a smile. He's also got a great emphasis on good form - I've learned a bunch and always look forward to his guidance. Even though I see him in a group setting, he is incredibly in tune with the needs of each of his clients. I can only imagine how awesome a 1-on-1 would be! It's clear he loves his job, and his cheer makes rigorous workouts feel like a breeze.

Before this, I have never had a personal trainer in my life. To be honest, I never felt I needed…read moreone, I went to the gym, did my little 30 minutes on the treadmill and maybe lifted some 5lb weights for 5 minutes. I met Ron at an orientation and we spoke about my fitness and what goals I had....at the time, it was just to be skinny ha! When it should of been, to become healthy, fit and lean. I have always tried to do things the easy way with different diets and quick fads...only to learn that the minute you are off of it, you just go back to where you started. I had a lot to learn. Ron offered my husband and I a free session and we took him on it. I had a goal...loose weight, get in shape for my 30th birthday (which was in less than 2 months). Ron did a full body assessment (that was scary), with our weight, fat measurements, etc....then he did a fitness test. Um, that was when my husband and I decided we needed to hire Ron. We thought we were in good shape but I thought I needed a heart defibulator after this fitness test! To make a long story short....unbelievably to me, I hit my goal weight in 2 months. I have never gotten so many compliments in my life from my family and friends. Even people that I didn't know at the gym approached me to tell me how good I looked as they had seen me progress through the months. Not only is Ron a highly trained and educated trainer, he knows all the aspects of healthy living...he has given me healthy meal plans (since I love to cook) and suggestions on what I should choose when eating out (I am a foodie and love restaurants). I would highly recommend Ron at Fearless Fitness to anyone and everyone, he is truly awesome (yes I used the word awesome ha)! Trust me, when you use Ron you will look great and feel great!

Every review I read on this Yelp page is absolutely correct. He is motivating, knowledgeable,…read morecreative, and nonjudgmental. I started with him after back surgery quite a few years ago. He knows how to start with what you can do and build up to what you thought you could never do. I don't like to exercise, but with Ron I know I am doing something positive for myself. Cheryl P. wrote about his knowledge of anatomy and physiology in relation to work outs, and I have to agree. Yea Ron, you're the best!

Simply put, Orion is amazing. He is one of the most knowledgeable, effective, and genuine trainers…read moreI have ever worked with. He is a badass (like I would never want to be on his bad side in a dark alley - seriously, his spirit animal is Master Shifu from Kung Fu Panda), but he is so great at figuring out how to help you meet your goals. He'll push you when you need to be pushed, but also knows how to work with your specific body and needs. What's great is that working with Orion has not only put me in fantastic shape, but also given me the knowledge and tools to feel confident in what I am doing at the gym. Another thing he emphasizes is body maintenance, which as I have gotten older, has become a huge part of my routine. I've broken my body in a million different ways, but despite that, I'm the strongest I've ever been now, and I am way more mobile than I was as a youngster. The cherry on top of all this is that Orion is one of the nicest human beings in the world. He's super funny and easy to talk to, a very underrated feature in a great trainer, especially when you are spending a whole hour with them. In short, train with Orion. You'll get strong AF, have a few laughs, and maybe even start morphing into a ninja too.

It is amazing the impact one human being can have in your life. Coach O has had a greater impact…read moreon mine in the past two years than nearly anyone else I know. I had resigned myself to an understanding that I would forever live with some sort of ache or pain in my low back. That is would be there for the rest of my life. Luckily, I was wrong. Coach O has taught me how to take care of myself and my own quirks of the body so that I no longer have back pain. He also taught me how to heal myself should I make some silly mistake, which does happen. He has taught me to better understand the human body and how it works as a unit. A bonus along the way has been the improvements to me physically in other areas. I have never been over weight or out of shape. I had never been Fit before either. I have now learned the difference. I am quite fit. I have rearranged the fat in my body into muscle. I have gone from barely able to do 2 pull ups to easily knocking out 10. Coach O has an incredible amount of knowledge about the human body, its function, maintenance, and how to be the best human you can be. Because of him my quality of life is significantly improved and I whole heartedly recommend you take the time to meet with him and avail yourself of what his sharing of knowledge can do for your own life. - Jeff

Before I was lucky enough to meet Art, I was taking a variety of ClassPass classes that weren't…read moregiving me the results I was looking for. I was working out a few times per week, but I wasn't getting the results I needed. Well, 6 weeks ago I dropped ClassPass, and my life has changed. I've used personal trainers before, and I've never had a trainer that was so attentive, motivating and available at all hours. Whether I want to train at 5:30am or 8:00pm, Art has worked his schedule around mine to make sure I get the work in. He's always available via text or email, and he's full of encouraging words to keep me on track. Before starting with Art, I was lost for what I was doing in the gym and in my kitchen. He's given expert guidance in both areas, and the results have been great. I have a goal of dropping 40 pounds by September, and I'm already 25% of the way after only 6 weeks. Now don't get me wrong, you'll hate Art with a passion during your workout -- but you'll end up loving Art...and more importantly, loving the results.

Before getting into personal training, I was nervous because I had heard stories about trainers…read moretaking advantage of you, selling themselves up big to make money, and then not caring once you signed on the dotted line. I am happy to report that none of that is true with Art. He has been the most professional fitness professional that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He has been available for me 24/7, even in times where I wasn't able to train for months at a time due to financial issues. He never let that matter, and would still answer any question or concern that I had. He pushes you hard, but never so hard that you injure yourself. He definitely makes sure that you give everything you have, all with proper form and technique. He also adds the extra incentive with clients, hosting parties and get togethers, and creating a social media community for everybody to help push each other and strive to be better. I can't recommend Art enough to anybody, friend, family, or stranger, that is looking to get in better shape, look better in that bathing suit, or just improve your general health.

More importantly, I feel better. I have more energy, I'm stronger in everyday life, and I've been able to maintain the progress I've made instead of slipping back into old habits. I know I wouldn't have gotten here on my own. Having Leilani there for the accountability, encouragement and guidance has made all the difference. She knows when to push, when to adjust, and how to keep things challenging without making it overwhelming. If you're thinking about starting but aren't sure you can do it, that's exactly why having the right trainer helps.

Julian and Leilani are extremely knowledgeable about fitness, lifting, form, and how to optimize the movements for you to get the most out of it. They are not fitness influencers - they are true personal trainers. No matter what your goals are, whether it's putting on muscle like me or losing weight or just general fitness, they will work with you to achieve those goals but still push you! Highly, highly recommend if you are looking for a trainer. I've referred multiple friends to them and everyone has loved it! Never thought I'd be one of those people, but make the move and start your journey! See you in the gym!
