Scott is a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer. He will definitely assist you in achieving the results that you want.

I'm 40, I've worked at a computer my entire life, and never worked out at a gym before because I felt the environment very intimidating. I recently decided to make a life change and face my fears. After an exhaustive search I reached out to Scott, and I'm so glad I did. Scott has the patience, skill, and calm positive energy to help push me. Exactly what I need to be motivated. I'm surprised to say that I'm actually having fun, something I never thought I would say about going to the gym. I would not hesitate to recommend Scott to any of my friends regardless of their goals. I'm so happy I've started this new journey and credit Scott for making it a fun experience for this gym newbie. read more

Today marks a milestone day for me which I am incredibly excited about, grateful for and proud of. What started out as Physical Therapy for a disk replacement surgery turned into an amazing journey. On August 14, 2014 I was fortunate enough to meet an amazing personal trainer, Scott Ly​ who literally transformed me; creating a much healthier, less pain and much happier me. Now, August 14, 2015 through customized training with Scott, I have lost 30 pounds, 5 1/2 inches from my waist and have gone down 3 waist sizes (back to my size in high school). From 4 pain killers a day to 1-2 per week Scott literally transformed my body. Thank you Scott for everything....from changing my body to changing my outlook on life. You are an amazing trainer and now a good friend. read more

LY Effect - August 14, 2014 - August 14, 2015 - Trainers Near Me

I can't say enough great things about Scott as a trainer and as a person! I started working out with Scott about 6 months ago and he has helped reignite my passion for staying fit. As a former D1 athlete, I stopped working out post-college for awhile and the pandemic even worsened that. When I started training with Scott, he not only pushed me to the max, but he also helped my commitment and discipline towards staying active to maximize my health. I feel better than ever being able to train at an intensity that reminds me of my college days! Not only do I feel great, but my physique makes me feel like I'm in college again. I can't recommend Scott enough for anyone looking to be trained by a true professional in Porter Ranch (and surrounding San Fernando Valley areas). Whatever goals you may have surrounding your fitness/health, Scott is definitely the guy to help you achieve them! read more

Scott was definitely an amazing and fun trainer to work with. I rejoined the gym after 2 years of being stagnant. I felt out of place and self conscious however he made my sessions and visits very welcoming. His sessions were definitely intense at times; I felt the need to throw up but that's how you know it's a good work out right? He's caring, funny, and accommodating. His goal is to help you achieve your goal and it's apparent. I highly recommend Scott if you're looking someone to work with. read more

I just started training with Scott a couple weeks ago. I'm doing pair sessions with my partner and it's been going well so far. Price point is reasonable and we train in a gym. Sessions are roughly an hour. From the sessions I've had, he really pushes you to strive for something bigger. The sessions have really kicked our butts, but he also is aware of how you are doing and doesn't push you past the point of harm. He seems pretty knowledgeable and is a pretty nice guy. He tries to make his workouts fun with different elements, not just machines. I hope I can update this when I have an entire body transformation! That's the hope... :) read more

Scott is so awesome! I had a trainer before but was hesitant to go back to him, therefore I was looking for a new trainer as I wanted to start lifting heavier and more seriously and wanted to make sure I was doing everything correctly. I was having terrible knee pain when I was started with Scott, three sessions later...I learned new tips and the pain is almost gone. He always watched my form and made sure i wasn't hurting myself and tailored workouts that worked for me. He's also super fun to work with. If you're looking for a trainer that actually cares and wants to help you improve and listens to your goals...Scott is the one! Do it yo, he's the coolest kid on the block. read more

I have been training with Scott at KOR for about a month now and I could not be happier. In terms of the actual gym KOR is clean, friendly, welcoming, and above all everyone is there for one thing - to work out!! I never feel like people are watching me or judging me there. I cannot recommend Scott enough. I am an actress and needed to drop weight fast for a role. I already had my own routine and was stuck in a rut repeating the same thing seeing little results. Scott helped me change up everything (without panicking me) including diet, my routine, how I breathed, posture and relaxation even. He could not care more about his clients. Every session is different and interesting - we even worked out with a sweat suit today to help drop water weight. He motivates and pushes you just the right amount. I leave every session feeling inspired and amazing. I have seen results already in just the few sessions we have done. I am so pleased I chose Scott as a trainer and am thrilled with the results I have seen already. I have lost weight in just 3 weeks and I see a huge improvement in my body. I will be recommending Scott to all my friends. read more

Been training with Scott since September and my body has gone through a major transformation!!! Not only my body, but my mentality and attitude has shifted completely. I feel so comfortable training with Scott and he is always challenging me more and more!! He knows what I'm capable of and is constantly reminding me how great I'm doing which is the best motivation. Can't wait for my body to get even better with training!! read more

I've been training with Scott for 6 or so months now, and it has definitely been one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. I did a LOT of research on different personal trainers when I decided I wanted to make a change in my body and energy, and Scott was the one that beat them all out. One of the main reasons I chose him over anybody else was that he is very dedicated to what he does, and as a result is more than just a generic personal trainer. He is dedicated to disciplines like Yoga and Jiu Jitsu, which make his personal training far more advanced than most as he implements these techniques into helping you warm up, cool down, and helping your mental strength. He also gives a lot of great advice after hours. He will check up on you to make sure you're doing fine, and help you keep your progress up throughout the week when you aren't with him. I was very skeptical about personal trainers and would get discouraged easily trying to just read workout plans online. Once we started training regularly, Scott assured me that I was making progress, and once I looked at my first before and after photo, I was really blown away at how visible the changes were. This naturally was a huge boost in confidence. 6 months in so far and I've been sleeping better, my energy is at an all time high throughout the day, and I just plain look and feel better. Can't wait to keep going and keep making progress thanks to Scott. He has been a great addition to my weekly schedule, and at this point I consider him a friend. read more

I've been training with Scott for couple of weeks and he's a very caring person who has my best interest in mind. I haven't worked out for awhile and Scott tailored my workouts to make sure that I won't injure myself. He checked in with me after each workout to see how I'm doing. His friendly personality doesn't get in the way of making sure that I get my money's worth because his workouts are challenging. Scott is great at what he does and I'm looking forward to getting in the best shape ever! read more

I have been training with Scott for almost 6 months now and my body is in the best shape it has ever been in! Scott helped me to not only get the body type I wanted but he showed me how to take care of myself and how to get stronger and healthier without relying on my aesthetic to showcase it. I am now stronger than I was when I started and am doing workouts I never thought I could do before. Scott creates a fun environment where you don't realize how the time flies! He is attentive and truly cares about his clients. If you are looking for a trainer but are afraid that they might not listen to your requests or pay attention to the way your body functions, Scott is definitely the choice for you ! read more

I started working out with Scott, who is my trainer . Upon meeting him, he suggested that I take some pictures of myself, so I could have a record of how amazing the improvements to my body would be. I can honestly say now, that I have dropped two sizes in my pants waist size.I am approximately five weeks, to six weeks into the process of changing my body, which had a lot of medical issues. Scott is teaching me about nutrition, modifying exercises so they can work for me in spite of my physical limitations, but mostly, to reach my goals, and realize that nothing is impossible. Thank you so much Scott. The gym itself has every amenity that you could think of, and is airy and very comfortable to Work in. Regards Eddy Moya read more

Had my first session with Scott last week. It is my hope to avoid back surgery. Unlike the other trainers I've seen, Scott listened to my concerns and asked many questions relating to my medical condition, past workout routine, desired results, etc. Scott understood my limits and instead of diving right in, we stretched for other 30 mins and then try light exercises to increase the flexibility in my back. He was very patient and encouraging. It was the first time I was able to touch my toes in over 3 years. I couldn't believe it. I was very relieved and impressed. Would highly recommend him. read more

i've been training with scott for the past three years. the workouts are smart, effective, challenging, and varied. scott knows what he's doing - he knows how the body works, and he knows how to get you to your goals. these days, due to covid, we're training in a small home gym in my building, and it's the best thing, ever! scott travels to my place and, following all safety guidelines - thorough disinfecting, masks, distancing - he devises killer workouts every time, even in our very imperfect space. he is seriously creative (he knows a million moves!). i couldn't recommend scott more highly. he's a great trainer. read more

Scott is top tier, he's what you want in a personal trainer - he's extremely knowledgeable due to his extensive background, makes sure that he develops a workout plan specific to your goals, and he actually cares. I've really enjoyed my time training with him and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. Thanks Scott! read more

Scott is providing outstanding training during the pandemic. He comes to my apartment complex, we train outside, wear masks and everything is properly sanitized. It's great to get some normalcy during these challenging times, and I appreciate Scott's extra efforts. read more

Scott's the best. I've been going to him for a couple months now, and not only have I realized great gains, I've made a good friend. Every workout is fresh and unique; I don't think we've done the same routine twice. His philosophy about exercise, nutrition, and general wellness is very pragmatic, which is super refreshing. Highly recommended! read more

When I first met Scott at LA Fitness, he came off to me as really enthusiastic and engaging. After training with him for the last few months, my opinion has not changed ONE BIT! Not only does he switch up the workout each time we train together, he is constantly looking for new ways to challenge my body and forces me to push myself while staying attentive to my body's need to rest and recharge. There is also never a dull moment with Scott, whether he's cracking a joke or trying to beat me up Runyon Canyon. Scott is clearly not a trainer who does what he does for the money, but for real passion for fitness and interest in his clients. Definitely try him out - you won't be disappointed with the results or the experience! :) read more

I had my first consultation with LY and had a positive experience. Never been to the gym before so I wanted to make sure I found someone who is easy to work with. He speaks very well and is personal / friendly, gives a lot of good advice, and feels like more than just physical training. He seems to have a very diverse background from martial arts to meditation, so I feel I will learn a lot from him. I liked his personality and felt he had the skill set to train me physically and mentally so I signed up for his 10 sessions read more

Scott has been such an important part of my health and weight loss journey- I started working out with him years ago and saw phenomenal results; more than just weight loss, the effects were noticeable- I felt stronger, more capable, I even stood up straighter. What I think makes Scott an excellent trainer is that he is a perfect combination of compassionate friend and tough drill sargeant- he has always known exactly how to push me towards the next level, without discouraging me. He has been one of my greatest cheerleaders, and somehow manages to make me laugh during our sessions. His workouts employ a lot of plyometrics, and using your own weight as resistance, which is great because I can employ the work outs in between our sessions as well. I stopped working out with Scott for a long period of time and was afraid that I wouldn't be able to work out with him again after such a long hiatus, but he made it so easy to come back and start again. I havent looked back since. If you want to be challenged physically, if you want to have fun, if you want muscles in your body to be sore that you didnt even know existed, choose Scott. read more

Scott is a fantastic personal trainer. He challenges me to my limit while also supportive when I'm not feeling 100%. Nevertheless,his workouts always kick my butt. I highly recommended him to anyone looking for a good personal trainer. read more

I feel very lucky to meet Scott and have him be my first my personal trainer! If you are want to have a passionate, motivational and caring trainer who knows his stuff, look no further. Now even just a few sessions,I can tell there're more muscle definition. I can't wait to continue doing this and see more results! With each session being fun and challenging at the same time, I got my ass kicked while having a good time. Highly recommended! read more

First off- I have been going to Scott for over a year now and I have lost 7 inches on my waist and a couple of inches on my arms. He is literally the best trainer I have had for the following reasons: 1. We never do the same work out - everytime I see Scott the workout is a different sequence of exercises. This gives a full body workout and as a female who has struggled with her weight this was key to my weight loss 2. He pushes you to try new things- when I first started I had zero balance, and couldn't even jump rope - now I can do 200 jumps without stopping in under 2 minutes. I can do perfect squats. I can even kick box and look good doing it 3. He cares- he sends workouts when I can't make it to the gym and meal plans. I can't say enough about my body now compared to where I was at a year ago. Everyone notices and I credit it to My trainer Scott. read more

Scott is the one of great trainner in LA!! I've done some other trainning but couldn't really see drastic result. Just for 10 sessions with Scott I lost 10 pounds and cut down 3inch on my waist line and lower stomach but remain butt size and gave me work out motivation that I've been looking for. He is the best. Highly recommending to people who really want to see the results!! read more

Scott is the man! I remember meeting him this last June with a bit of trepidation. I hadn't worked out for about 6 months before then because of a foot injury. Luckily, Scott was the person to help me get back into taking care of my body, health, and mind. All my workouts are tailored to my personal needs and even how I'm feeling that morning. I've felt more confident about my body image and I'm always motivated for the next session. Working with Scott at gym is honestly picking out if a box of fine exquisite chocolates..except instead of gaining the calories you are burning them! read more

Couldn't be happier with Scott or the results he delivers. I especially like how he tailors my workouts so that I find them fun and engaging. I also like that he focuses not just on the physical side but the mental and spiritual side of keeping your body healthy. Scott's a great guy who offers great service at a reasonable price. read more

After seeing Scott several times at the gym I decided it was time to start with a trainer. Getting yourself to the gym is a good start but using your time wisely and staying motivated is another. Scott takes care of both and then some! He adjusts your workout to your needs for time and fitness goals which is great. Highly recommend for anyone looking to get motivated and in shape! read more

I have been training with Scott for over two months now. He was recommended by a friend who absolutely loved his work and saw results. When I started with Scott, I was well into my weight loss journey but hit a plateau and wanted to try something different other than my usual routine of cardio and weights at the gym. That's exactly what Scott does during our sessions. Each session is very different from the last, he incorporates different sequences and I leave feeling worn out but stronger. Best part of Scott's training is that he incorporates kick boxing techniques and conditioning workouts. If you are looking for a very customized training or weight loss program and want it to be fresh, interesting but still challenging each time, call Scott! read more

This is my first Yelp review and I'm glad it's for someone so well deserving! I started training with Scott almost a week ago and HE IS THE BEST. I already see results! He really pushes you to your maximum potential and makes it actually fun at the same time! I'm discovering muscles I never knew existed. I've worked with other trainers through the years and he is by far the most helpful, informative, knowledgeable, skilled and pleasant to work with. He also helps with meal plans and changing your diet to a healthier one. I can't recommend Scott enough. Best investment I've made in a long time. read more

I met Scott at the beginning of my weight loss journey. He believed in me before I believed in myself and gave me the motivation to strive for more. Best trainer I've ever had hands down. He genuinely cares about everyone's individual needs and is extremely professional. I I am now down 63 pounds since first meeting him and I will forever be grateful for him and everything he's done to help change my life. read more

This was my first experience using a personal trainer so I had a bit of apprehension and concern going in. However, by the end of the first session, all worries evaporated. Scott was truly sensitive towards my goals and also my physical limitations. He was quick to adapt our routine based on my fitness level. He made me feel safe to be able to push myself beyond what I thought i was capable of and never made me feel for a moment that I was risking injury. He's very knowledgeable and also a great companion to just talk with between exercises. I greatly enjoyed the PT experience with him. read more

I've only been training with Scott for a week now, but it's already making a difference in my body and mindset. He's tailoring the workouts to both what I enjoy and need, which I love. I was looking for a combination of crossfit, MMA, and yoga, and so I love that Scott incorporates all this and more for me. He gives me a good ass kicking, but is sensitive to what my body needs and when I need to slow down or take it easier. He's even set up workouts for me to do on my off days and he gives me nutritional guidance as well, which is just as important as the workouts. He's also just an all around nice guy and helps you prepare your mind not just for the workout, but for life. I'd highly recommend him to anyone! I'm super excited to see what's to come, not only in body transformation, but in my life as both my mind and body get focused. read more

I met Scott when I was at a steady 200 pounds at LA fitness. We started working almost daily and eventually moved to KOR. First of all, Scott is amazing as everyone says. He has an incredible way of combining breathing and just the right workout for every individual, and he switches it up so that some days you lift weights and some days you kick the crap out of a punching bag. Scott helped me with diet, mental changes and obviously physical changes. You can see my transformation in his photos. After about 8 months working with Scott, I had lost a total of 70 lbs, and gained lean muscle and the learned to eat the right way. If you want to make a serious change, at a VERY reasonable price given all of the training and certification he has, this is it. If you train with him early enough, he will even provide you with corny jokes :P. Scott is fun to work out with and he is always supportive in your fitness needs. read more

When I walked in to KOR a few weeks ago I had no intention of of working with a personal trainer. However, after training with Scott for only a few weeks I can see what a great investment it was. My friends and family keep telling me how great I look even though, like I said, it's only been a few sessions! Not only does Scott inspire me IN the gym, but he also helps keep me fit OUTSIDE the gym with nutrition tips and advice that are helping me overcome lifelong bad habits. Finally, as if being good at his job isn't enough, Scott is upbeat ad pleasant to be around--which is really saying something at 6 AM! Stay tuned for before and after pics! read more
