A year ago, I was looking for a trainer to help me build a better relationship with my body,…read moreexercise, and the gym, and to build a healthy routine. I was so lucky I found Ioana on the first try! At first, I wasn't even able to walk for 2 minutes without being out of breath and having pain in my lower back. Now, I can walk for over an hour with no problems! I also used to be incredibly nervous and self-conscious about going to the gym, now it's a regular part of my routine. Ioana designs weekly routines that fit within my goals of being stronger while also working to lose weight. She's extremely knowledgeable about nutrition, strength training, and weight loss and has been an invaluable reference for me. She's extremely kind and supportive, provides gentle guidance, and always encourages me to ask what my limits are and whether I think I can do more. I have learned that I can do anything hard for one minute (or more!) and that I'm more capable than I think. Even more, I actually enjoy going to the gym and leave every session with a smile and more confidence than I came in with.

AMAZING experience working with Ioana! One of the best investments I made in myself…read more Quick Whys? - Works with your timing as early as 5AM - Easily reachable over text message - Friendly and knowledgeable! - Knows how to pace and push myself (hint: learning how to what your body is telling you into exercise) - Love how she is positive especially with all of us 9-5 workers - Love her analogies to help me visualize, e.g. imagine a credit card as you squeeze your back - the gym she has us workout at is a gorgeous place with AC, space, and has clean bathroom - reasonable priced! If you are still at all hesitant, here's a list of what I gain from my sessions with her in a bit more detail: 1. a real, trustworthy and sound advice on various topics (e.g. nutrition choices, fad/trends, glp1, meditation) from someone who been in the medical field and now in the fitness & health field who isn't afraid of sharing her own experiences 2. How to really engage my core; now I can engage while during meetings and even in the car! 3. How to tell when it is okay to swap over to higher weights; knowing my strengths and how to push my boundaries is really helpful to prevent myself from accidentally injuring or straining myself 4. At home or limited equipment alternatives to equipment workouts; not everyone has accessibility or time to reach a gym so her knowing what are some at-home or in-motion alternatives is helpful (e.g. using a stretchband at work to strengthen my arms when I get a bit of downtime) 5. muscle & form education - learning what is the right form for workout and understanding what muscle groups are being used. Example: Learning what muscles are being engaged when you're doing hammer curl vs bicep curl helps me understand what I want to tighten. 6. How to take care of myself for long term wellness (e.g. walking backwards on treadmill helps with strengthening the muscles around me and make me feel more confidence that I won't injure myself) While I'm not a success dramatic picture worthy case, the confidence, the knowledge & practice she instilled into me will be life-long. Truly one of the best investments I made in 2025!

As an ex-athlete I like to stay very fit, but also have had my share of injuries. I was looking for…read morea fitness trainer with experience who's is also athletic, but not a steroid stallion, that just feels like a cheat to me. I preferred a private gym, not a big fan of the health club scene. I found Ultimate Health here on Yelp, its close to my house in Hollywood and i liked the reviews so I called and talked to John the owner. Well its been 2 months and I couldn't be happier. John keeps it fresh challenging me with new workouts regularly. I feel great and my girlfriend says I'm looking hot.. The place is a super private personal training studio so, no waiting for equipment like at the shared gyms I've been to. He's definitely the best personal trainer in Los Angeles I've had, the best period.

Having lost 60 pounds on my own, I was introduced to John in August 2013 through my best friend who is also his client. I immediately felt comfortable and at home at Ultimate Health. John challenges his clients in the best way possible, making you feel at ease and in control of your workouts. He never pushes you too far, as previous trainers have done to me, but pushes just far enough to get you out of your comfort zone. He understands each client's limits and abilities. I have learned so much from John about fueling my body properly with the right foods, fallen in love with circuit training as well as kick boxing. I have even referred two of my friends to John, and they are now happy clients of his as well. Continuing this journey with more than 80 pounds lost, a completely transformed body that is tighter and leaner than ever before, I always look forward to my 2-3 days a week with John at Ultimate Health.

Ashley is a great trainer. We first met after I had my son and she helped me get back into shape…read morepost-baby. Ashley is very good at customizing the workouts to meet the needs of the client. In my case, I had to begin to work out very slowly after my son due to weakness in my core, abdominal and pelvic region. She customized the entire workout so that I was working out on the floor and not putting additional strain on my body. At first I was concerned I wouldn't see the same benefits and I was frustrated that I wasn't able to work out like I was pre-baby but Ashley's training regimen was amazing and I have regained strength in my pelvic muscles and core (abdominal). After I delivered my son, we started very slowly which was critical to getting back into shape the right way and because of Ashley, I am very aware of the need to continue to build my strength in those areas for the future- another baby or just general aging. I didn't realize how important they were until I had my son. Ashley is also very flexible and is a great trainer to meet the needs of a busy working mom! She offers early morning sessions or late evening sessions to meet my personal needs. I have really enjoyed training with her. She is very fun and easy to be around and talk to. She makes a workout go by fast and you don't even feel like you are exercising; I always felt like I was talking to a friend!

Neither of us had any athletic background, and both of us have totally different body types, yet he was able to train us at the same time with the perfect approach for each of us!

Eric personalized a weekly diet plan for each of us, which was easy to follow and enjoy. If you like an outdoor setting for your workout, Eric's free weight setup is in a park with many trees and lush vegetation.

Not only did AJ help guide me to my answer, my conclusions, he did so at a comfortable and non invasive way, but he did so with the intent to actually get me better.
