Every session is structured, efficient, and somehow still fun (which I didn't think was possible while sweating that much). She's great at tailoring workouts to your goals and making adjustments on the fly if something isn't working. I've gotten stronger, more consistent, and way more confident since training with her. Highly recommend if you want real results without the ego or intimidation factor

She got back to me right away and scheduled a free consultation, which made the whole process so easy. I've been training with her for a few months now and it's honestly been amazing. She really focuses on form and makes sure I'm doing each movement properly, which has given me a lot more confidence in the gym. As someone who used to dread working out, training with Amber has completely changed my perspective. She's motivating and supportive, but also makes the sessions fun because we always end up having good conversations while I workout. I look forward to our sessions. She really has changed my perspective on exercise and health! 10/10 would recommend!

I definitely…read moretook note of all the glowing testimonials of Melody as a person and as a trainer, but my stubborn, out-of-shape self didn't take the plunge. Fast-forward to September 2013: After gaining 30 pounds over the past 4 years, I decided enough was enough. I wanted to learn how to play tennis, but I realized that I also needed to get in shape first. So I finally emailed Melody to set up a fitness assessment and start training with her. Honestly, it was the best decision I ever made. I typically attend the group sessions, with some individual sessions thrown in here and there. Each time Melody switches up the exercises to keep the workouts fresh and interesting. Oh, and if you're worried about getting a tough enough workout, have no fear. They are BRUTAL. Melody also happens to be a champion powerlifter, so she knows a thing or two about strength training. At the same time, Melody will work with you to achieve your fitness goals, and you can make your workouts with her as challenging as you want. She's not a sadist, but she will kick your butt. She'll push you to get stronger and make you like it. Did I mention that she's got a great sense of humor and excellent taste in music? And she's also a licensed massage therapist, in case your body needs fixing after an intense workout. In the three months I've worked out with Melody, I've lost 17 pounds. And I plan to continue the awesome in 2014, with Melody's help. The proof is in the pudding. Sign up with Melody. You won't regret it!

I've been training with Jess for 2.5 years, and I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions…read moreI've ever made. When I first started, I was terrified of lifting weights. I had just moved to LA after going through a really difficult personal loss, and I had gained weight due to depression. Before that, I had spent over a year doing Beachbody workouts 6 days a week, walking constantly, and eating as little as possible. I was thin--but had no muscle--and the moment life hit hard, I gained everything back quickly. About 6 months before my wedding, I decided I needed to try something different. That's when I met Jess--and from the very first session, my fear started to disappear. I still worried I wouldn't be "good enough" or strong enough to lift heavy, but Jess is incredibly encouraging, kind, and positive. Because of her, I kept showing up. Within a couple of months, something clicked--I realized lifting was not only more effective than endless cardio, but actually more enjoyable. And surprisingly, I wasn't constantly sore like I expected. Fast forward 2.5 years later: I'm hip thrusting 195 lbs and deadlifting my body weight--and I feel strong, confident, and capable. As someone who is very Type A and disciplined, I tend to push myself hard. Jess is the perfect coach because she knows exactly when I'm holding back versus when I'm truly at my limit. She pushes me in a healthy, supportive way and celebrates every win with so much genuine enthusiasm. I'm very motivated by positive reinforcement, and she just gets that. The results speak for themselves. I originally bought my wedding dress in a larger size, hoping just to "tone up" my back. After 6 months of training with Jess (3x/week) and following her macro guidance, I dropped a size and saw a huge difference in muscle tone and overall confidence. But more than anything, Jess changed my relationship with fitness. I fell in love with lifting--and I truly don't think I would have stuck with it without her. We are so lucky to have her. She is knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in her clients. Jess is the BEST. I can't recommend her enough.

Jess is fantastic! I've only been with her for 3 months but I'm already seeing so many results…read more I was someone who was doing a lot of "YouTube lifting" before the pandemic and really felt like I was still lacking so much direction in the gym. I tried to make my own splits and learn some form on my own, but it really makes a big difference to have a personalized split made for me and to someone there to watch, correct, or confirm form. Even the smallest adjustments to form make the biggest differences! Results have been so much better and quicker than when I was attempting on my own. I love her energy and how she's always there to answer my questions. I feel so much more confident in the gym now too! Highly recommend :)

I am not a fitness junkie. I am not thin. I don't like to run. I was unsure about this whole…read more"personal trainer" thing. ....but Lara is amazing. I adore her. She's eased me into the whole workout thing and knows just when to push me and when to let me take a break. She doesn't make me run - ever. We do lots of different things so I don't get bored. We push a metal "tractor" around astroturf, we use all the scary (not so much anymore) machines, and we even do some light boxing. She keeps it interesting. I know what you want to ask though - is it working?! Well - I'm not the best at curbing my ice cream enthusiasm but I am definitely stronger now. (After about 6 months with her twice a week.) I went scuba diving this week and whereas it used to be difficult for me to haul my one scuba tank around, this time, I picked TWO full scuba tanks up and walked around with them easily. My Husband was impressed. Lara is easy to talk to (I look forward to catching up on life with her in the mornings - she's like a hairdresser that I see more often!), great with texts and trying to keep me accountable with my eating habits, and knowledgable about what I need to do to get the results I want. I've renewed my package with her and coming from me, that's saying a lot. I didn't think I'd stick with this past my initial package but I have and it's made me a better person for it. You won't be disappointed.

I have been doing pilates with Nicole for 1 1/2 years now. I was actually referred to her by my bf…read more He took his daughter there to strengthen and stretch her arms and body because she plays softball. He had heard that doing pilates was a great way to prevent sports injuries. My bf and his daughter were so impressed by Nicole's warm and professional demeanor that he purchased a package of sessions with Nicole for me as a surprise gift. Initially I was very hesitant because I'm not particularly athletic, and I also have never tried any type of pilates or yoga before. All my concerns went away as soon as I was able to meet with Nicole. She is someone who exudes warmth. She is also extremely knowledgeable when it comes to the body and incredibly caring and patient. Nicole gives you her 100% attention and is very meticulous. She helps make sure you have proper form and posture. She is also a great listener. If you have any areas of concern, aches, pains, or even goals, she will listen to you and help you tailor a workout plan catered to your needs. After seeing Nicole for a year and a half, what I gained was more than a pilates instructor, I gained a dear friend. Nicole has a heart of gold and makes me feel stronger not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally. She has been an empathic and supportive sounding board for when times were tough. As terrible as I would feel going into a session, I would always leave Nicole's feeling 10 times lighter and infinitely better. She is definitely someone worth giving your time to.

Simply put - LIFE CHANGING…read more My background - I've never lifted weights, I've never been one to exercise. But this little shop of miracles - they changed all that. They took a terrified beginner (or even lower than beginner if such a term exists), and helped him fall in love with the exercise, with the workouts, with the process, with the philosophy. I'm not kidding when I say that my first day - I was just worried my leg would go shooting across the room on my first machine. But the staff was patient, detailed, and thorough. They made sure I knew exactly what I was doing, and they were watching everything cautiously to make sure I was safe and my form was ok. That was a year ago, this week. One year later - I can't believe how far I've come. When I started, I just had a simple goal - I'd like to be able to do one squat. Now I can do a half dozen without even focusing on it. A myriad of little changes to my life, my health, my lifestyle - all these little improvements that make everything so much better than it's ever been. I'm emotional just thinking of the process... And truly - it just comes down to the trainers, the staff - they're my guides, my scouts, my mentors in this journey. They never tire of my asking question after question about how to better my form, how to improve my technique, and I owe them so much for that. I'm a full convert now. Full stop. As long as I'm physically and financially able to - I can't imagine ever stopping this process. THANK YOU to every one at the Strength Shoppe (Jazzy, Adal, Anwar, Derek, EVERYONE) for helping this one man find a path in his life he didn't even know he needed, and never would have thought he could love so much.
