I can't say enough good things about Brian but I'll start with this: Unlike most personal trainers…read moreout there, he knows what he's doing and can help you regardless of your current fitness/health status. He's not just another "wannabe actor turned personal trainer" (sorry guys, it is LA after all) but he genuinely cares about his clients and fitness/health is his life. When I started I literally couldn't do a squat or lunge because of my knees issues. I was overweight and felt terrible, embarrassed to even go to a gym. Side planks along with other exercises seemed like things I would never be able to do. Fast forward months later and not only can I do all those exercises and more but I've lost weight, feel great and continue to progress in everything I am doing. Also, his supportive nature is one of the things I love most about him and his training, he's not one of those get in your face trainers that makes you feel like crap. He is 100% invested in your progress and health, a rare find with trainers here in LA. On top of that, talking to him is like talking to a friend so workouts just fly by. Love him!

Since the first step is about perfecting your form and protecting your joints, I've never felt more confident in the gym. Because I'm being trained by some of the top trainers out there (they train Olympians, it's crazy!) I know their plan works. My workouts get steadily harder each weak, but never to the point I'm worried I'll hurt myself. And just a few weeks in, I'm already feeling stronger, more energized, more toned and more excited to keep growing. Truly couldn't recommend PHASE IV and their amazing trainers more.

I started working with Whitney in early 2024, after many years of battling with an irregular or…read morenonexistent fitness routine (and subsequently poor body image). As someone who did not have a strong foundation in the gym, I was looking for a trainer who could create a bespoke program and help me master form from the ground up. From day one, Whitney was encouraging, thorough, and helped me feel welcome in an environment that had at one time brought me a lot of anxiety. She was able to diagnose the muscular imbalances that were causing pain, and we set out on a routine that truly transformed my life! I, like many of us, spend a lot of time working on a computer and my posture really suffered from it. Whitney focused on strengthening and lengthening muscles that were previously pulling my head and shoulders forward, which has reduced a ton of neck & upper back discomfort and improved my posture overall. She also helped me build strength and better muscular balance throughout my lower body and abdomen. Over the 7 months we worked together, I lost 30 lbs of fat and gained 10 lbs of muscle, while also eliminating the lower back pain I had been struggling with for years. I lost 6+ inches from the areas that were causing me the most insecurity, and gained definition in my glutes, shoulders, back and legs. My time with Whitney recently came to an end after I moved to another part of town, but I would absolutely still be working with her if I could. She and Byron genuinely transformed my relationship with my body, instilled confidence and strength I had not been able to access on my own, and have laid the foundation for me to continue (and even look forward to!) a lifelong fitness journey.

Whitney helped me achieve transformative results. I'm a tall skinny guy and have always had trouble…read moreputting on muscle. I'm also an avid surfer and snowboarder and had just let my desk job get the better of me and needed a jumpstart to get back into shape and a real habit of fitness and training. And I got all of that and more. Whitney's technique-driven approach with weightlifting and focus on improving my diet helped me gain 20 lbs of muscle and lose probably 5 lbs of fat/water weight over the course of 5 months. She is a true "coach", which kept me motivated, and she cares about her client's improvements, including not just in the weight room, but outside via diet and lifestyle. It's a full 360 approach. Whitney helped me identify my greatest points of weakness (for me, legs, chest and glutes) and coached me how to properly isolate those muscle groups and I saw gains I've never realized during previous bouts of weight training. I'm very grateful to have worked with her--she has set me off on a great path to train myself now and once I plateau again I'm looking forward to returning to train with her.

Patrick is the man! Seriously, he's an awesome trainer. The pounds have shed and I'm down a few…read morewaist sizes since I started training with him a little over 6 months ago. He keeps me on my toes every workout by switching up the exercises so I don't get bored and my body does not get used to the same movements. Sessions are short (30 mins) but not always sweet. With less time, Patrick makes me work at full intensity to get the most out of a workout. Not only have I seen a major improvement in my physical appearance, but I feel good about staying healthy in all aspects of my life. Patrick is a very motivational and positive person. I love his determination and hustle. It inspires me and I always look forward to our workouts. As a side note... He is very flexible with scheduling. I am constantly changing times and days on him because of work/life/etc and he does his best to accommodate my needs!

I've been training with Patrick for ab out 4 weeks now and can not feel the difference, but I also see the difference. I've tired motivating myself to workout a number of times and have been unable to stick with it. I even joined Equinox hoping paying a significantly high price for a gym would give me the motivation I needed, then went further to hire a trainer at Equinox. Quickly realized that was not the right approach, nor was I happy with my lack of workout routine or my bank account balance. Then I found Patrick, and everything has changed for the better - and I happily canceled my Equinox membership. Patrick makes you work hard. The workouts are 30 minutes, and at first I was reluctant to think this would do anything. 30 minutes is plenty is a perfect amount of time for a great workout - under his direction and guidance. It's basically non-stop intervals with small breaks in between. And, every session is different which keeps it interesting. More importantly, he's motivating and knowledgeable. My current routine with Patrick is 4x a week with a pretty set schedule. Although, he's very flexible if you need to move sessions for business travel, vacation, etc. You'd be doing yourself a huge favor to connect with him, and try it out.

But.... we found Jeff at Bold Fitness in Santa Monica and the relationship has yielded great results and a consistent growing knowledge base of the workings of the body, with his tutelage. Jeff stands out in the sea of personal trainers in LA in this that he is genuinely vested in seeing his clients understand and work towards acheivable goals. Jeff is down to earth, invested in his time with you and motivational in a firm, understated way that helps at each session with him. He is very thorough & knowledgeable about body physiology, training, nutrition and any other resources needed to get to the required level of success. Jeff advocates working outdoors, hiking & hitting the trails, still paying attention to form. He is also very accessible via phone or text for any questions or resources we need, at any time & now, with COVID, has also stepped in virtually if we need him to. Respectful of our time & investment with him, Jeff is an amazing human being and we are thrilled to have found him these past few years!

You'll avoid injuries while pushing yourself to limits you didn't know you even had. Got a pain when you do a particular exercise? He'll have you move something else and work yourself another way... and the pain is gone. You will be thankful that you have such a caring and talented human being for your personal trainer. You'll probably think that you should pay him millions of dollars a year because he makes you feel so good about yourself, but here's a hint: IT'S NOT GONNA COST ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE YOU THINK IT WILL! He can really work with you, no matter if you are on a budget or even slightly financially challenged. Jeff is incredibly detail oriented and will keep track of everything you need for your success and then some. He adds a lot of variety by also doing a bunch of outdoor training, if you are so inclined. As far as nutrition goes, Jeff is an incredible wealth of nutrition information and can instantly debunk a lot of the "BS" or false food facts out there. I would recommend Jeff to ANYONE wanting to be the best they can be (or maybe just a little better).

A Truly Exceptional Posture Fitness Expert…read more After breaking my tibia / fibula back in Oct '24, I lost a significant amount of muscle mass, strength and balance. My health insurance only covered once weekly PT sessions so it came to the point I had to take more control of my recovery. What a find Jesse was. I can confidently say that he is one of the most exceptional posture fitness professionals I've encountered. What sets him apart is his rare combination of analytical precision, deep expertise, and creative problem-solving. From the very first session, he approached my concerns not with a one-size-fits-all method, but with a detailed assessment that revealed patterns and imbalances I had never been made aware of before. Jesse has an intuitive understanding of body mechanics, and he's more than just a trainer, rather an educator. He explain the "why" behind every correction, which has helped me build awareness and apply what I've learned to daily life. I've noticed a dramatic improvement not only in my posture but also in my overall confidence, balance, strength and mobility. If you're looking for someone who is not only highly skilled but also deeply committed to your progress, Jesse is the professional you want in your corner. Only wish I found him sooner.
