SOFIT SoCal Fitness is a great place to get back on your fitness journey, especially if you're looking for guidance, motivation, and a workout that's tailored to your goals. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the training is both challenging and enjoyable. The equipments are more than enough to work on. I didn't realize how big of a difference having a personal coach is until I tried this last December. A special thanks to Joe Poon for being so accommodating and flexible throughout the workouts. His insights and attention to proper form made a big difference, and I really appreciated how he took the time to understand my goals and provide helpful feedback. Joe also shared practical tips on nutrition and muscle gain, which gave me a much better understanding of how to complement my workouts outside the gym. If you're just getting started with fitness or looking to improve your current routine, I highly recommend giving SOFIT SoCal Fitness a try. Great experience and a great way to get started on the right path! My journey with SoFit was cut short as I need to move to another state but hope to go back if ever I get a chance to move back in the area. read more

I've been working with Wilson for about a month now. Before training with him, I had already been working out on my own for about a month. What I really enjoy about working with him is that he helps me focus on things I would normally overlook or never think to train. There are exercises that target and strengthen muscle groups I didn't even realize I needed to work on. He also helps me achieve a full range of motion on certain movements that I honestly don't think I could properly do on my own. I'm someone who is extremely frugal with my money, so I don't spend on things like this lightly. But if you're on a fitness journey and can afford the sessions, I highly recommend giving it a try. Heck, at the very least, go in for the free intro session so you can see what you've been missing out on. read more

I highly recommend Wilson for chronic back pain and body imbalances. I've had back issues since high school that turned into years of poor posture especially once I started working and sitting even more. My entire right side was off, from my toe, knee, hip, back, even up into my shoulders. I just had no idea what the root cause was or how to fix it. I've seen MANY physical therapists throughout the years, tried acupuncture, and gotten regular massages. Unfortunately none of them provided relief for more than a few days. I also worked with other trainers before, but they trained me in more generic ways and overlooked my imbalances. Sometimes it would make my pain got worse. I moved to this area a few months ago and was referred to Wilson. I immediately felt a HUGE DIFFERENCE just from our discovery session. He picked up on issues in my movement just by watching me do a few exercises. He used the massage gun to loosen muscles I didn't even know were contributing to my pain. He explained exactly tight, what was weak, and how everything connected. He told me I'd feel better within two months... but honestly, I started feeling better within just TWO WEEKS of seeing him twice a week. This is genuinely the best money I've ever spent on my health. I'm definitely stronger, more balanced, and NOT IN CONSTANT PAIN!! I can go on longer hikes and spend more time walking my dog without stopping to massage my back... I can't recommend Wilson enough, especially if you feel like nothing else has worked. read more

I would like to recommend Tina at SoCal Fitness as a personal trainer. I have never been into training until about six months ago when I wanted to improve my strength and balance. I met Tina and began a great training experience. Tina created a program that was tailored just for me and my goals. She varies the workouts that create consistency and are challenging. The variation of the workouts serves to keep me motivated. Tina has many good qualities. She is friendly, good natured, flexible and has my success always in mind. She is highly knowledgeable, organized and truly flexible. She is able to work with me for schedule changes when life demands it. And she provides very helpful information to help in my life challenges as well. A word about SoCal Fitness which is always clean, friendly and welcoming. These qualities make it comfortable to workout and attracted a wonderful personal trainer named Tina! read more

I've had the pleasure of working with Tina for the past 2 years, both in one-on-one training sessions and group classes. Tina is not only professional, knowledgeable and motivating, but also incredibly friendly and easy to connect with. I've truly enjoyed working out with her...We laugh, we talk, and over time we've built a genuine rapport that makes every session something I look forward to. It feels like I'm training with a friend who just happens to also be an amazing coach and really cares about your progress. She also communicates well, takes the time to answer my questions, and is reliable with scheduling. She shows up consistently prepared and fully present for every session, which I really appreciate. In our personal sessions, she took the time to understand my goals and helped me build strength, consistency, and healthier habits in a way that felt sustainable and encouraging. In group classes, she brings that same energy...warm, inclusive, and always making sure everyone feels seen and supported. I also want to share appreciation for SoFit SoCal. It's a clean, welcoming space with a really positive atmosphere that makes it easy to show up and stay motivated. I'm truly grateful for both Tina and SoFit SoCal for being such an important part of my life and health. I couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

This review is for Coach Victor. I have been training with him for about six months, and I can confidently say he is the best trainer I've ever had. Professionalism (10/10): He is always punctual, never distracted by his phone, and pays close attention to my condition. He knows exactly how to encourage me at the right level, pushing me without ever going too far. Personality (10/10): Victor is always smiling, has a pleasant demeanor, and is outgoing without being overly talkative. Most importantly, he genuinely cares about his clients' well-being and truly wants to help them achieve their goals. There is nothing more I could ask for in a trainer. I feel so fortunate to have him as my trainer. read more

I joined So Fit SoCal last summer and started working with Wilson to get in shape for my upcoming wedding. Within a few months, following a strict diet and workout plan, I was able to meet my goal weight well ahead of the intended deadline. I think this is a testament to Wilson's mastery and knowledge of both nutrition and fitness physiology. I appreciate his attention to form over quantity and his patience when I am struggling over a new exercise. Scheduling is also flexible and he's excellent with communication. It's been great to have him as my trainer! read more

love this small gym! tina and tommy are great trainers and their small class hiit and strength training workouts are effective and a great value! The personal training sessions are also very helpful. Tina is passionate about helping her clients and extremely knowledgeable with all things fitness related. read more

I was in Arcadia for work and wanted to work out at a gym while I was there and I found this gym online. I messaged them at nearly 8 o'clock at night and Wilson responded and set me up to work out the next day. I paid for the session online and signed the various liability forms within minutes of confirming our workout for the next morning at 7 AM. When I got to the gym in the morning Wilson did a quick assessment, he pointed out some things I was unaware of that helped once we started the workout and designed the workout around his discoveries. It was excellent! I had that great soreness you crave after a good workout! I'm happy that I finally figured out a place to work out when I have to drive to the inland empire and work in the Pasadena/ Arcadia area. read more

I am currently coming here twice a week and it's been amazing. I started coming here because I needed to loose weight but mostly for my mental health. I wasn't ready for a gym enviroment so this was a great alternative since they only focus on training. I got paired up with a great trainer who undestand my goals but also my busy schedule. Since starting working out with her, my mental health has dramatically improved and overall my strength and posture. Everyone is friendly and the place is always clean. I would recommend it for anyone since they have a variety of trainers who have expertise in different areas. read more

Not a proper way to show new customers the gym. Lighting was not bright. So sent to Eos Fitness in Arcacia mall. Have more equipment and very friendly staff and its huge. Plus plenty of classes and staff. read more

Husband and I have been coming to So Fit with Coach Joe for about 4 months now and it's been a huge game changer. We feel stronger, and it's all thanks to Coach Joe's incredible guidance. Not only does he put together great workouts that work out different muscles, but he also is vigilant about form and safety. It's clear he truly cares about his clients and is motivated to help them improve and get stronger. Highly recommend So Fit and Coach Joe!! read more

I've had a great experience training with Wilson at SoFit SoCal. He is knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in his clients' progress. Wilson takes the time to understand what you want to get out of training and builds workouts that are challenging but realistic, with a focus on strength training for my goals. He finds the right balance between pushing you and being supportive, which has helped me stay consistent and motivated. The sessions are efficient and energizing. If you're looking for a personal trainer who is attentive, easy to work with, I highly recommend Wilson. read more

If I can give So Fit SoCal higher than just 5 stars, I would. The reason why I gave this place 5 stars was because of my trainer name Wilson. He's an awesome human being, he is also knowledgeable in his field of expertise. He knows how to work with my fibromyalgia and weaknesses, he helped me gain strength in areas I needed and overall educated me on how to train correctly. I highly recommend So Fit SoCal for your personal training needs. Thanks Wilson! read more

The team at SoFit SoCal are phenomenal. They are flexible and understanding with pricing, scheduling and everything in between; my coach and his supervisors were always willing to sit down and talk with me to work out a payment plan and session schedule that worked for me. My assigned coach - Coach Dru - was not only knowledgeable and well-spoken with his craft but empathetic and truly caring. He took a diagnostic approach to all things, whether they be injuries or a simple lack of motivation. He always sought to solve to the root of my problems, not just treat them with temporary solutions. He helped me put my fitness, my health and my life back on track. Incredibly grateful for this team, they deserve all the love and support they can get. If you're at all hesitant about personal training/rehabilitation/etc. this is your sign to give these folks a shot. read more

Working with Coach Tina has been an incredible experience. Since joining her training sessions, I've noticed major improvements in both my strength and flexibility. I've lost weight, built noticeable muscle, and feel much stronger overall. She's also helped me reduce the pain I used to have in my lower back and knee, which has made a huge difference in my daily comfort and mobility. Tina's coaching style is motivating, knowledgeable, and supportive--she really knows how to push you while keeping workouts safe and effective. I feel healthier, more confident, and more capable than ever. read more

I wanted to start working out for my overall health. I had done online personal training but after a year didn't feel like anything was changing. I wasn't sure how to build a workout routine so thought I would schedule a few sessions to get some tips because I didn't think my budget could sustain regular personal training sessions. Going to a large gym also felt a little intimidating. I met with Tommy and got connected with trainer Victor Shi. Victor is AMAZING!!! I'm only able to afford 30 minute sessions twice a week and Victor uses every second of those sessions. I go with a friend and he has us rotate exercises. We are slightly different strength levels and he adapts to each of us - pushing both of us in the areas we need to be pushed. One of the things I've learned training with Victor is how significant and important proper form is when doing certain exercises. SoFit SoCal also takes a holistic approach - looking at your nutrition, mental health as well as physical health. The gym is never crowded. They work the schedule so you always have space and access to a variety of equipment. Tommy also really worked with us to get a plan that worked within our budget and payment schedule. I highly recommend this place!! read more

When I was looking for a gym last year, I wasn't sure what I wanted from working out. I reached out to SoFit and was surprised with Coach Tommy contacted me right away even though it was like 11pm at night! Coach Tommy set up my consult and hooked me up with Coach Wilson to start my workout journey. Coach Wilsonbis awesome and has had a great attitude from day one. He deals with all my complaining at 6am, talks anime, baseketball and life with me and puts together comprehensive workouts that have movements I like, movements I need and movements I despise (because squats are evil). Progress has been made and I am for sure stronger than I was last year. Coach Wilson listens and adapts when I state something isn't working out. We are a team and we are working on getting me stronger and healthier. I'm glad I decided to go with Sofit and look forward to more progress! (And less squats, Wilson. LESS SQUATS!) read more

I started going to SoFit SoCal because I hadn't worked out in a while and was also prone to injuring myself when I did. I was a bit intimidated at first by idea of personal training, but everyone at SoFit SoCal has been very welcoming and nice! Working with Coach Wilson, I've learned how to lift with proper form, how to respond when I do injure myself, and also how to track my food and eat with a flexible diet that allows me to still look forward to meals and enjoy them. Six months ago, I thought it would be a hassle to track what I eat or workout consistently but Coach Wilson has made the whole process very approachable and east to digest! I'm really happy with the progress I've made and have thought of this as one of the best investments I've made for myself. I would highly recommend this place to anybody who wants the extra personal help with their fitness journey! read more

Coach Chris at SoFit SoCal has helped me improve not just my workouts, but my overall lifestyle. The focus on movement, nutrition, and wellness has made a huge difference in how I feel day to day. It's been a really positive and well-rounded experience--I'm seeing great results and feeling better than ever! read more

I wanted to start a new weight loss journey but didn't know how to. I decided to go with this gym and it has changed me drastically. I've learned so much about the body and how to eat right as well as increase my knowledge of working out. I usually lose motivation to go to the gym after around 2-3 weeks but after going here and having the support of the trainers I have been able to consistently been going for 3~ months as well as going to the gym outside of the personal training. I've had the privilege of working with David as my personal trainer, and I can confidently say that he is truly exceptional at what he does. When I first started my fitness journey, I was completely clueless and honestly, I sucked at doing gym stuff. However, thanks to David's expertise and guidance, I've come a long way. One of David's standout qualities is his patience. He never made me feel self-conscious about my lack of knowledge or my initial struggles in the gym. Instead, he took the time to explain everything thoroughly and ensure that I felt comfortable and confident in each exercise. His willingness to answer all my questions with no hesitation was a game-changer for me. I never felt like I was bothering him, and his explanations were always clear and easy to understand. Definitely would recommend! read more

I have been seeing Victor since December. My goals have been weight loss and general fitness, and I have lost 30 pounds so far with their help. Victor does a great job making sure I make progress and more importantly, that I do the workouts without hurting myself. Highly recommended. read more

Coach Tina brings a unique energy to every session at SoFit SoCal in Arcadia. Her workouts are dynamic, fun, and always keep me on my toes. She has a great way of balancing challenge and encouragement, and her passion for helping people shows :)) read more

I randomly decided to search for a personal trainer and came across So Fit on Yelp. I'm so glad I did. Starting from the consultation with Coach Tommy everything has been great so far. I've tried working out on my own so many times before but have never really been able to get into it. Working with Coach Wilson has made a tremendous difference. He's very easy to work with, he takes the time to create a personal workout plan for me, and pushes me to limits I didn't even know I can go to. Overall it's been an awesome experience and I highly recommend So Fit and Coach Wilson especially for anyone trying to meet their fitness goals. read more

Very patient. Very clear with his instructions, and very encouraging and knowledgeable. Goes the extra mile to make sure that you are exercising safely. Highly Recommend. read more

My husband and I have been going to SoFit Personal Training for about 4 months now. And while that doesn't seem like a very long time, we have both definitely experienced significant improvement in our energy levels, physical strength, and flexibility. Our personal trainer, Coach Tina, crafted a very personalized exercise program for us, where she is mindful of my ongoing knee pain and my husband's frozen shoulder. There are days when she pushes us (in a good way) to work harder and go just beyond what we think we can do while there are other days when she has us slow down and focus more on mobility and stretching. She also makes sure we always have the proper form and she routinely checks in with us to see how we're doing on days we don't see her. I am really happy that we found SoFit Personal Training and plan to be regulars for as long as they're willing to have us. read more

Tommy is a great teacher. He is very patient and very knowledgeable in his craft. Highly recommend. If you are looking for a trainer, look no further. read more

He is both empathetic and inspirational and uses each session to push you that given day. He has integrity, honesty and life experience to share. Tommy's workouts never feel tired and he has a passion and commitment to his clients that is genuine.

I've been trying to lose weight and to get stronger for a long time. Finally, I took action by signing up with a SofitSocal personal trainer. Tina is my personal trainer. She is very professional and knowledgeable. She assessed my needs and designed a program to fit my needs. She pushes me, at each session, to just the right amount to help me improve each time. If I only work out by myself, I would probably end up in the same situation like always--and give up easily. However, after our sessions, I always feel very energetic and so so glad that I made the decision to reach my goal to look strong and healthy. read more

When I went to look for a trainer, I found SoFit SoCal online. I decided to try them out and did a free consultation with the trainer Ethan. I was a little skeptical about reaching my goals but Ethan put together a plan for me when we met. He showed me what I needed to do for nutrition, exercise, and accountability. Not only that but the plan was something that is sustainable, not a 30day challenge or a quick fix. After the consultation I signed up and am so glad I did. Since then, I have reached my goal weight, never gotten bored, and stayed motivated. Ethan has been super nice, patient and just fun to work with. I definitely recommend the SoFit SoCal gym. read more

The coaches are not very friendly here - the energy levels are terrible and the place is dingy. Like walking on eggshells just trying to have a good energetic time. read more

I've been working with Tommy for almost a year now and have been really enjoying the experience. Tommy will train you hard but also take the time to get to know you which is huge in my book. While he comes with the treasure trove of knowledge on how to build a great workout plan for you, he adds to that with really specific knowledge about muscle movement, which for a analytical guy like me is gold. I see myself sticking with Tommy for a good while. read more

this place is amazing ! tommy the owner and Ethan are very helpful, they know how to train you very well with the correct form. I have been many gym and have my own personal trainer too still my form not that great . but here they able to correct my form.. i felt doesnt matter how much you lift or how much you workout , without of acknowledge the right form you can't see the result or can even hurt yourself. this place is the best. i would recommend to anyone of this place. read more

I highly recommend Tommy as your personal trainer. I found Tommy on thumb track along with a few other trainers. I decided to give them all a try and choose the trainer that I was most comfortable with. When I first met Tommy, the best thing I liked about him was that he was not pushy to sign me up. He also gave me a tryout session which I liked since it gave me an idea on how his training was. Thru out the first month or so, I dropped all the other trainers and choose Tommy as my primary trainer. I was definitely out of shape and very weak when I joined So Fit Socal, now many months later, I am much stronger and healthier. Tommy has grown to not only be my trainer, but also my friend. He always texts me and checked up on my food and step for the day regardless on how many time I have not met my steps and food goals. Tommy not only focuses on the physical well being, but also the emotional well being. We have done many breathing exercises together and a lot of stress management training. Today, I am a in much better state physically and emotionally mainly due to Tommy's impact in my life. So yea, if you want a trainer who cares about you and makes you feel as if you are family, I highly recommend Tommy :) ! read more

I went through a couple other trainers before I made my decision, but I knew this was the right place for me. I've loved my experience so far and look forward to my training. Also, loving my results and I love the attention to mental health, and mindfulness approach to getting physically but mentally healthy as well. read more
