If you are looking for a master trainer please read: I have been working with Scott since October 2025 (almost 5 months) and he has literally changed my life. In July 2024 a MRI showed 3 bulging discs in my lumbar spine and a partially torn hip labrum. At the time I was training for a pole competition and extremely passionate about progressing. So the injury was devastating--I was told I would not dance again and would probably be in chronic pain for the rest of my life. I spent a year "rehabbing" at a place that overtrained me and worsened my pain. During that year, I went into an injury cycle that created PTSD and depression from not moving my body like I once did. It was one of the darkest times of my life. In September 2025, something told me to jump ship and to look at other options. I went on Yelp and found SY Performance. When I say I manifested "thee best trainer", I mean it. Scott brings to the table nearly 30 years of experience. When we had our first phone consult I made it very clear how important it was to me that I had an absolutely different experience with whomever was going to be rehabilitating/training me. I set the intention that I deserved the best trainer for me and that is exactly what happened. When I met Scott and he evaluated me, he told me within minutes things about my body no one had ever so clearly pinpointed. Analyzing my gait, I found out I had a slight knee vagus. He saw that my shoulders were pulling forward from the overtraining. He instantly picked up the fact that I am hypermobile. He saw that while parts of my body were overtrained, other parts--my core for example--had barely been worked at all. This lead to more imbalances and more pain. All of this information from Scott was key for me. However, even more than that, I knew I was going to be able to trust him--a huge piece of the puzzle as I had so much fear of getting hurt at yet another PT Place or by another trainer. Meeting Scott was the first time I had hope that I might get my life back. I could literally cry as I write this: My goal by end of year was to go back to a pole class. On December 30, not even three months into working together, I attended a pole class. It was one of the happiest moments of my life and it would never have happened without Scott training me. He is so dialed in and knows how much the body can handle. I have gained strength, mobility, and every week is giving me more and more freedom, more of my life back. I know I will get to that Pole Compeition! Here's the thing: even if you are not injured, don't you want to work with a trainer who not only has knowledge and expertise, but actually believes in and cares about you, who is going to get you to your fitness goals? Yeah, period. ;--) Also, I need to add this... Scott is one of the most tapped in people I've met and as such he brings an element that is beyond unique--it's magical. It may sound corny or weird, but it's true. I believe it's part of why he is so good at working with people, he's not solely a trainer, he's a healer. I could kick myself and say I wish I would've found Scott sooner. It would've saved me pain, time, depression, money, etc., but at least I'm working with him now. I am developing strength and gaining muscle for the first time in a couple of years, my pain level is so much less, my whole nervous system has calmed, and I am smiling again. Thank you Scott for being a master healer/teacher/trainer- and great soul! You are such a gift! Mahalo Nui! read more

I was struggling to lose my postpartum weight and didn't know how to fix my diastasis recti. I hoped to avoid surgery, and after just 10 weeks with Scott, I'm down 15 lbs and my ab separation is nearly closed! As a busy mom, I needed something realistic and flexible, and Scott delivered. His hybrid approach has been perfect--an easy-to-use app combined with a monthly in-person training session with a body scan. I was hesitant to try another app-based program since I've done several before, but this one is completely different. No cookie-cutter macros here--Scott customized mine to match my exact goals, and the meal guide is amazing. No boring plain chicken! Scott is always available to answer questions and genuinely treats you like family. My results have been incredible, especially with the challenges of being postpartum and turning 40. Put in the work and you will see results! read more

As a Doctor of Physical Therapy and former D1 volleyball player, I've seen (and tried) a lot of training programs, and I can honestly say that SY Performance's Hybrid Training Program is in a league of its own. I started Scott's program a few months before my wedding, hoping to tone up, drop a bit of body fat, and just feel more confident walking down the aisle. What happened went far beyond that. In just 3 to 4 months, I leaned out significantly by dropping 25 pounds, while building back real muscle, and felt strong in a way I hadn't since college athletics. What I loved most was the balance between the live training sessions and the workouts on the mobile app. I work long hours as a PT and needed something flexible that still held me accountable, and this nailed it. The app made it incredibly easy to track my workouts and see progress week to week, while Scott's team adjusted my program to keep things challenging and fresh. The nutrition component was honestly the biggest surprise. The meal plan was simple, delicious, and realistic. No weird restrictions or bland food. Everything was laid out with daily macros and calorie goals that made sense for my body and schedule. The food journal in the SYP mobile coaching app made tracking quick and even kind of fun (never thought I'd say that). By the time my wedding came around, I felt confident, energized, and genuinely proud of the transformation I'd made, and it fit seamlessly into my crazy schedule. If you're a busy professional, athlete, or anyone who wants real results without sacrificing your life to the gym, this program is the real deal.

I loved my experience with SY Performance! Scott is an incredibly motivating coach who has a very down to earth methodology. He gave me a ton of confidence in getting into a proper gym routine after years doing various CrossFit/endurance sport programs. He's equally challenging and encouraging, with some good humor to boot! You'll be in great hands on the gym floor. His program is so worth the value. He clearly takes great care in designing the workout program and food program, which felt new and fresh each week. I chose to go with the vegan food option in his hybrid personal training program, and the recipes were not only easy to follow, they were DELICIOUS. The gym itself is awesome. I love the front desk family and how well maintained all of the equipment is. They keep everything really clean and tidy. It's also just the right amount of busy, so on the days I wasn't training directly with Scott, I still felt like I had the space to move around from each machine without any issues. I plan on returning in the new year for another round of fitness, and in the meantime, I'm really enjoying working out on my own thanks to Scott's direction! read more

Adding picture of progress. Five months into my workouts I'm down 48 pounds-all with Scott guidance! Key--- safety first Eve when I think I can lift more! The care he gives me is bar none for others I have worked with before! read more

Scott is truly wonderful. In addition to being knowledgeable, he's incredibly kind and motivating. I was also looking specifically for someone as a trainer who was attentive, ensuring my form is correct to prevent injury. He is all over it! Detail oriented and if something hurts? We quickly find an alternative to work a muscle without injury. After a major weight loss a number of years ago, I was really ready to get in better shape. Scott is helping me achieve my goals. Highly recommended! read more

Training with Scott has been an absolute game-changer. After years of working from home and living a largely sedentary lifestyle, my husband and I turned to personal training to help us get back into shape and build an active and healthier lifestyle, and we're so glad to have found Scott. Not only have we been able to achieve our health and fitness goals under Scott's guidance and expertise, but his energy and support turned every workout session into something we genuinely looked forward to. He consistently challenges us without ever being overwhelming, helping us push past what we thought we were capable of so we leave every workout feeling stronger, more confident, and proud of what we accomplished. After completing the 90-day training program, we've now transitioned to Scott's structured app workouts, which have been equally as effective while giving us the convenience and flexibility to train on our own schedule. We've been able to continue our custom-tailored fitness plan with detailed, easy-to-follow workouts. Most notably, the ability to track and record our progress all within the app has been so helpful and motivates us to keep challenging ourselves and maximize every workout. To top it all off, the monthly body scans are an amazing way to visualize our progress and see how far we've come. Our experience with Scott has been nothing short of exceptional, and we truly couldn't recommend his program enough. read more

I started training here in October and am so happy with the whole experience! First of all, Scott the owner of SY Performance is a gem. It can be intimidating when looking for and working with a trainer and this was the opposite of that. He took all my needs into consideration and didn't try to shove me into a one-size-fits-all box. I found myself excited to go and spend time working with him as we worked towards my goals. While my goals were pretty lofty, we made so much progress together. As someone who is going through hormonal issues and has been frustrated with the lack of progress working out on my own, I lost 10 lbs, almost 5% body fat, and I've built more muscle than I thought was possible in such a short time frame. Not only does he customize workouts for you, he also customizes your nutrition as well with daily check-ins and adjustments as needed. I highly recommend Scott and the rest of his trainers at SY Performance! read more

This has been my first experience with a personal trainer, and immediately I knew I selected a star. Scott saw my potential, introduced me to proper form, showed me new techniques and tips, encouraged me to "increase that weight," and educated me on the "why" and "how" that has enabled me for a lifetime of success. I've been training with Scott for the last 2 months, and I couldn't be happier with my results. I've shed 20 pounds, gained muscle, and attained my goal weight earlier than expected. He has ignited a workout "high" in me which has motivated me to continue with this lifestyle change. Through Scott's guidance and coaching, I've witnessed the potential of my inner self. Scott's experience, expertise and professionalism was exactly what I needed to kickstart my fitness journey. He's been open and honest and has completely invested himself in me and my goals. All he asks is that you show up, follow the plan, and trust him. Scott made every workout challenging, tailored to my goals, and fun. As soon as you walk through the door of his beautiful private gym, you're greeted with his enthusiasm and planned workout for the next 55 minutes. Scott is an authentic guy, dedicated to your success and has a passion for fitness and helping others. He gives every client 100 percent focus and commitment during their training. You will not be disappointed! read more

I needed someone with exceptional skill and knowledge to help with my rehab after the doctor gave the me clearance to start working out again after my total knee replacement in June of 2023. My husband suggested I train with Scott, whom he had previously trained with. My first appointment was an evaluation to see where I was at and to talk about my goals. I told him I was not looking to lose weight...only to gain muscle and he agreed with that assessment, which helped boost my self-esteem. We came up with a game plan and I am happy to say that I have made great progress in rebuilding not just the muscles in my legs but feeling good in general. He lets me set the pace of the weight increase, which I am appreciative for. Scott is an excellent master trainer with extensive knowledge on how the body works and which exercises to do to target the specific muscle group you want to build without hindering your recovery from a surgery or injury. Training for Scott is not just a job.... it's a passion and it shows in not only how well he trains his clients, but how much he cares about them as individuals too. I love working out now! Scott is a real and genuine person, and you will not be disappointed when you decide to join the SY Performance family. All the trainers at his gym are fabulous. read more

This is what 28 pounds down in nine weeks looks like. For the first time in my life, I chipped the scales at over 300 pounds. Working with Scott has been both a pleasure and a challenge, one that I look forward to every day. Between nutritional planning and difficult but thoughtful workouts, I've managed to reach a third of my weight loss goal for the year in just a little over two months. Well, you will be challenged to your limits, Scott is very careful to not burn you out, unlike some other gyms, I've been to in my 40 years. Recovery is one of the most important aspects of fitness and I not only see it with myself, I see it with other clients that are there before or after my sessions. The gym is clean and well organized and the beauty of a private space is you can always find what you're looking for. read more

Scott is a wonderful coach and person. My wife and I live down in South Orange County but we're on a kick to get our fitness and eating habits into a much better place. My wife had worked with Scott many years ago so she suggested we reach out to him to see what we could do. During his introductory call with us he did a great job of making it feel like I had known him just as long as my wife had. He is incredibly personable and intellectual about all things fitness and healthy eating. Scott worked through what foods we like and what foods we don't like, as well as our weight goals to create a meal plan specifically designed for both my wife and myself. That meal plan goes hand-in-hand with the workout plans he specifically tailored for the exercise equipment we have in our home gym so we don't have to substitute or come up with our own exercise if we don't have a piece of equipment. Each exercise can be easily viewed on the app that he uses and there are even demo videos so you can do the exercise correctly. The cherry on top is he has this state of the art body scanner in his studio that can track your progress. 60 days from starting with Scott I've already lost 13 pounds. Go and see this man! read more

Somewhere along the way I managed to hurt both of my shoulders. My daily routine wasn't really affected, but it did make exercising highly painful and undesirable. After realizing my weight had spiked to a number I never thought I'd see on the scale beneath me, I knew I had to make a change. Being that my 50th birthday is fast-approaching, it seemed like an opportune time to start the process. I spoke with Scott, and he developed a plan to not only rehab my shoulders, but ultimately my overall fitness and physical well-being. Since this was all happening in the middle of a global pandemic, going to the gym to accomplish this simply wasn't an option. This would have to happen remotely, which only further applauds Scott's ability to motivate from afar. All I had to start with was a pair of 30# dumbbells and an ab wheel. Scott had me purchase a simple resistance band kit, and built my regimen around those limited resources. Once set up with the app, he sends you your customized workout daily, and you have open communication regarding your progress, barriers, feedback, etc. Video links accompany all exercises, so it's really quite easy. The hardest part is maintaining your personal commitment and actually doing the exercises, yet Scott keeps you motivated and constantly assesses your progress, adjusts it based on your skill level, and makes you the success you can be. Whatever your health and fitness goals may be, Scott can tailor a program to achieve them whether in the gym, or across the globe. read more

Scott Yonehiro of SY Performance is THE place to have a positive experience in getting into the shape that you want. Especially if you prefer a healthy and safe approach in doing so. He is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and understanding that we all come from different backgrounds. He uses a Styku Scan (a 3D body scanning system) that will provide in detail where you are currently, and a scan is done every few weeks. This way, one can track the progress of how you are doing. Scott goes over the results with you, and will email them to you as well, so you can over it at your own leisure. If you have any questions, he is always willing to answer them. Scott is encouraging and supportive in a world that believes the way to achieve your goals is fear, pushing beyond exhaustion, and extreme dieting. He gives positive reinforcement, which helps in both the mental health area and of course, pays off when you see you reach your physical goals. So leave the fear of being yelled at the door as you enter his private, clean, spacious fitness studio. There are cubbies to store your items and water just in case you forgot yours. The humorous posters are a bonus to the plain stark walls other gyms have. Scott provides delicious meal plans customed for you and are easy to follow. There is an app for you to take photos of your meals and upload them. He goes over them and provides feedback. Look, nobody is perfect, so progress is the focus. Scott's positive reinforcement helps if you feel like you've slipped up or aren't doing something right. It's a much more effective way to keep on trucking to your goals. You feel supported and encouraged. Scott is communicative and easy to talk to. He knows that everyone has their own lives going on, and he will work with your schedule to get to where you want to be. From there, what you've learned from him helps with maintaining what you want. I HIGHLY recommend signing up at SY Performance, it will change you for the better in all areas of how you approach exercise, health and nutrition. If we had personal trainers like him, we probably would see people more excited in getting in shape, instead of dreading the process. read more

There's a reason you only see 5 stars here - Scott, is the biggest star of all! My husband and I have been working with Scott for a month and a half and the transformation is unreal. I don't understand his sorcery, but it's working. My advice, call Scott now. Follow his plan, and results you will see! read more

SY Performance - Trainer extraordinaire - Scott Yonehiro, always with a smile! - Trainers Near Me - Burbank, California

I'm 39 years old and recently got married about 6 months ago. At my wedding, I felt bloated, exhausted, and not happy with my physique. I made sure to push myself to get into great shape before the wedding, but I wasn't getting the desired results. I have always been in shape, but when I took my shirt off I felt a lack of confidence standing next to others who worked out less or weren't shape but looked better than I did. I came to SY Performance not really understanding bodybuilding or proper lifting techniques. I've lifted my whole life, but I've also been a team sports person, so majority of my workouts have been HIIT or cross training. When I first got on the phone with Scott, he said two things that made me choose him: 1-He explained what bodybuilding could do for me and how it's not what I initially thought it was (assuming everyone who body builds looks like the people in those competitions) and 2-After talking through everything with me and discussing his price, he told me to go discuss it with my wife before making any decisions. Prior to speaking with Scott, I had spoken with many trainers who told me if I wasn't ready to commit right then and there, I'm already losing. I appreciated Scott's transparency and the fact that he realizes that changing your work out regiment and your eating habits impact not just you, but also your family. From there I was hooked. In 3 months, Scott has helped me educate me on minor mishaps and mistakes I've been making my entire life when it comes to training and eating. His workouts push me hard, but that's what I wanted and I am getting the results. I'll be 40 in about 7 months and I feel like I'm going into that big year eating better, feeling better, and looking better than I have throughout my entire 30's. I could not recommend Scott and the team at SY Performance any higher. If you have bad eating habits, bad work out habits, or simply need someone to help push you and get desired results, then look no further! read more

I've been training with Kaori and Sy Performance for about 6 months and I'm loving the experience. Scott and all of the trainers are so fun and it's such a pleasant environment at this private gym. If you're looking for great training in a small environment, where you feel comfortable, this is definitely the place to check out. read more

I started training with Scott a few months after covid lockdown was ordered. Before training with Scott, I had low energy and felt physically weak. I wanted to put on muscle and needed the professional guidance so as to not injure myself. After the first workout it was evident that Scott was passionate about training and was very knowledgeable about how each exercise would help strengthen my problem areas / post injury areas . I really appreciated that Scott pays attention to every movement I perform, without distractions, to ensure that I am executing the moves correctly / safely . Given Covid, all the exercises were in the park, and the set up was great in that we were able to target every muscle group despite not having major equipment. Now that I have been training for 6 months, I am feeling stronger and experiencing less neck and back pain ! If you are debating working out, don't delay. Scott will be attentive to your needs and is dedicated and flexible with scheduling. read more

For a good portion of my life, health and wellness were top priorities for me. I became a certified yoga sculpt instructor in 2019, and have been practicing yoga for many years. The first year and a half of the pandemic, I found myself having a lot more time to hike, work out, and focus on my health and physical fitness -- I was in the best shape of my life! Then, early 2022, we decided to adopt a puppy. Soon, our new puppy, as cute as he was, was ruining our lives -- sleepless nights, bite marks all over our bodies, no time for ourselves and thus, no time to cook healthy meals or work out. Gone were the days of hiking 2-3x a week and making fresh-pressed green juice on a regular basis. Parents, I commend you for dealing with a human child, because a dog child is already beyond exhausting. I soon found myself in worse physical shape than I had been in years, and for me that could lead to very dangerous circumstances. A big reason I've always prioritized my health is not because I *love* working out or eating healthy...it's because I literally have to. I was born with a condition called PFO (patent foramen ovale), which means I was born with a hole between the left and right atria of my heart. When I'm not taking care of my health (mind, body, spirit), I find myself having more triggering episodes -- for me, this means fainting spells, arrhythmias, and the risk of blood clots that could lead to my brain and potentially kill me. Sounds intense because, well, it is. On top of this, after getting my COVID Vaccine boosters, I developed a skin condition called Dermatographia, which made me extremely intolerant to high-histamine foods. I also have had SIBO for a few years now, so to add to the mountain of complications, my gut health was a mess. With the growing amount of food intolerances and sensitivities, I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start in my health + wellness recovery journey. In a time of deep desperation and feeling pretty crappy about myself, I scoured yelp for a personal trainer and nutritionist in the area. Cue: Scott & SY Performance. From the first few calls with Scott, I was immediately taken by how personable, knowledgeable, and disarming he was. No pressure to sign on a dotted line or salesman vibes, no shaming for my recent weight gain and lack of motivation. My fiancé and I both met with Scott for our evaluations and decided immediately to sign up for his 90 day program. Scott was mindful of ALL of my food intolerances, always works with us and our complicated schedules, and truly shows he cares in all that he does. We started training with him at the start of October, so we've been with him for about a month and a half now. On a physical level, I can literally feel my clothes getting looser, my body becoming stronger, and most importantly my health improving (reduced heart symptoms, reduced histamine flare-ups, improved gut health). On an emotional level, I feel happier, more confident, and honestly just more myself than I had felt in months. Being held accountable by someone who truly cares makes all the difference. TBH I feel like this has also improved my fiancé and my relationship, too...simply carving out the time for ourselves and being a team through it all has strengthened our bond. My first impression of Scott still holds true -- He is always incredibly personable, asking questions about how we're feeling on both a physical and emotional level and truly caring. His knowledge of the human body is equally impressive as it is overwhelming hahah sometimes my eyes glaze over when he describes all the different parts of the body we're working and how one muscle connects to something else or other...but it feels really good knowing we're working with someone who understands how these movements will affect us on a literally deeper level. And he is still incredibly disarming -- he makes you feel comfortable, like a member of his family. I'd recommend anyone who is thinking about taking care of their bodies, minds, spirits to give Scott a call. He has a team of wonderful trainers working with him as well, though my experience has only been in working directly with him. I'm not exaggerating when I say my life has already changed for the better in these 45 or so days since working with SY Performance. Thank you Scott! read more

Scott is not only an amazing trainer but also an amazing human being. Scott is a seasoned personal trainer with over 25 years of experience and the way he treats his clients shows it. I had been looking for a personal trainer for a bit and my friend recommended me to him. He took his time to explain how to do all the exercises and how those specific exercises would target points in my body to help correct my posture and make me stronger. No matter what skill level of fitness you are at, Scott makes you feel warm and welcome. He knows exactly when to push you and knows when to hold you back. If you're looking for a personal trainer that will help you attain your goals with a great and funny personality and a heart of gold, Scott is your guy! For the last few months, during the pandemic, we have been training outside in the local parks in Burbank which feels safe because everybody I have seen during working out has been wearing masks. Scott also brings his own towels and anti-bacterial wipes and wipes down all the equipment he brings to the park for an easy transition from the gym. He sterilizes everything between uses of his clients. read more

My wife and I were looking to lose some pandemic pounds and just get healthier and in better shape in general. We're so happy a friend recommended Scott to us. Scott is so knowledgeable when it comes to workouts, exercise, nutrition, and all that goes into living a healthier lifestyle. He's the perfect trainer for us. Encouraging, supportive, motivating, and flexible. We look forward to our workouts and always feel great when we're done. Personal and professional, Scott is a trainer I highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for a smart, friendly, state-of-the art fitness program you should check out SY performance. I started working out with Scott a couple of years ago when I moved to town and he has been a great trainer and also just a terrific person to know. He understands where I am in my fitness journey and tailors the workouts to fit my needs as they change over time. When I have an injury or am just low energy he easily picks up on that and dials in to meet me where I'm at. I always end my workouts feeling better physically and mentally than before, even if I didn't feel like working out in the first place. I can't say enough good things about Scott and his intelligent, caring approach to fitness. When my extended family came into town for a month-long visit I asked Scott if he would consider leading us through a series of family workouts at home and in the park. It thought it was a tough ask to get him to train all seven of us (ages 10-53) together but he didn't miss a beat and managed to get all of us working out together three times a week and having fun in creative ways. It truly was the highlight of our family vacation and my relatives went home feeling stronger, healthier and more confident. It really was a special thing for our family. During the Covid-19 shut down Scott has gone out of his way to continue to train me and follow all safety protocols. We meet at the park, Scott hauls all the equipment there, sanitizes it before and after our work out and he always wears a mask (me too) no matter how hot or uncomfortable it may be during our sessions. Scott's knowledge of the latest training techniques and research is only overshadowed by his kind, thoughtful personality and his top-notch communication skills. I highly recommend SY performance. read more

SY Performance - Me looking dorky in the park getting fit:) - Trainers Near Me - Burbank, California

I came to Scott at SY Performance because I was desperate - I had to get in RIPPING shape for a play at the Geffen, but I had several injuries that had plagued me the last several years. Every time I would crank up my routines, I'd get re-injured and fall back to zero. When I met Scott, I was immediately impressed by several things... 1) This dude knows his stuff!: There are plenty of trainers out there who took a multiple choice test certification and can tell you to do push-ups until you throw up. Scott understands the science. And most importantly for me, he understood injuries and how to both work around them and rehab my problems. 2) You're getting the entire package.: When you hire Scott, you're hiring a fantastic trainer and a guy who really knows his nutrition. He put me on a plan that took a little discipline, but once I started to see the results, I was amazed at how fast I was getting in shape. 3) He's championing YOU.: I am not afraid of hard work. And my deadline til our show opened was coming up fast. Scott helped drive home that over-training was not going to be what got me there. His quiet confidence that we were on track was critical for me, cuz at the beginning, I was sure I had given him an impossible task. Every night I had to do a scene on-stage in nothing but my underwear, and I walked out there feeling GOOD. That doesn't come easy for me. For the folks out there who are lining up excuses for why it can't be done... I came to Scott with: - An L5 vertebrae broken in 3 pieces and 5 ruptured discs. - A torn calf at the insertion of the Achilles. - A tear of my forearm flexor. I basically came limping up to Scott begging for him to help me, and I left in a matter of a few months feeling better than I had in years. Scott is an brilliant trainer and a great human being. My only regret is that I didn't write this review sooner. Scott, if you read this - I love ya, buddy! THANK YOU! read more

Had an amazing experience training with Scott. As this was my first experience with personal training, I was nervous to sign up. But Scott put all my concerns to rest - he is very knowledgeable, encouraging, and makes the workouts fun. Really appreciate him and all he does for his clients! read more

Prior to starting the 90DBTC I wasn't very active. I would workout maybe once a week. I wanted to get back in the habit of exercising on a regular basis but needed a push. I really liked the idea of being guided by a personal trainer, but having to be accountable for yourself since you aren't working out with them in person. Since finishing the program I can honestly say that I look forward to working out now. Not only did I lose weight but it has also helped improve my chronic back pain, anxiety, and insomnia. Overall would recommend and would do the challenge again. read more

Let me start by saying this if you want to make a change in your life, no matter what that change might be I guarantee that Scott Y will help you get there. Scott, the owner of SY Performance and the amazing lead on the 99 challenge is compassionate, caring, kind, encouraging and a trainer who truly wants to see you successful complete the challenge in a way like no other coach o ha e experienced before! I decided to do this 90 day challenge after a friend of mine told me about it. The pandemic was a really tough time for mental health in addition to physical health. I could see that I needed to find a commitment to myself in order to lose weight and become a healthier version of me. After starting the 90 day challenge, I was encouraged by Scott and my teammates to take it one day at a time. It can be very easy to make a drastic change and see results quickly, but those results don't usually stick around. This challenge encouraged me to take daily habits, and make small little tweaks to things I knew I could do in order to see success. Two of the things I loved about thisChallenge was the food menus that were given weekly with shopping list and The app which we used to go through our daily workouts. Both of these items were super easy to navigate and very helpful and planning your day today. I also loved the competition and challenges we had in the group to win certain items from local businesses. The challenges were a fun way to try something new and be rewarded for that hard work! I amThankful that I joined this challenge and found new friends and a new way to change old habits. I would definitely recommend this challenge to anyone and can't wait for SY performance to do another that I can join. I love the accountability and commitment to the group that comes with being in a challenge!

As the big 50 was approaching I felt like I needed to make a change in my life so I reached out SY performance and got started on the best journey ever! My shoulders and lower back hurt so bad I had trouble sleeping and just doing daily things. Scott listened to all my struggles and set me up with the perfect plan . After 6 months I had zero pain anywhere in my body and now after a year and a half I am in the best shape if my life! Bring on another 50 years! Thanks Scott! read more

Just following up on my progress. Working with Scott was an absolute pleasure. By the end of my program I was in the best shape of my life and since then I've continued to improve. I am so glad I met Scott. He's an excellent trainer and an amazing guy. I would recommend him to anyone interested in a fun and effective way to get fit. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Scott, but I'll try!! I have a ankle disability and wear an adaptive device on my leg that requires a significant amount of core strength to work properly. Starting my fitness journey, I knew I needed a trainer who was knowledgeable about body mechanics and who would both push me to achieve the goals that are possible with my device but without putting me in danger of hurting myself. Some trainers would be intimidated by this but Scott was immediately excited about helping me in my journey. His energy is infectious and empowering. You can tell he deeply cares about his clients. He is always 100% focused on you and helping you achieve your goals. He's just the absolute best and I am so grateful to have him as my trainer. read more

Scott is INCREDIBLE and LIFE CHANGING. I began training with Scott about 1 year ago and will say without hesitation that Scott is truly a world-class trainer. Before I came to Scott, I had never retained a personal trainer and had very little experience working out. I had never really been a fan of gym's- I think mostly because I didn't really know how to properly utilize them. I went through a series of ClassPass classes and private pilates classes, but didn't really stick to any kind of working out pattern or routine. Then I met Scott-- and he changed EVERYTHING. He's a teacher, motivator, dietician and of course, trainer, all in one! He'll help you set goals, tell you what to eat, how to train and keep you on track. He's also relentless because he genuinely wants you to succeed. I have never loved working out as much as I do with Scott. I've discovered a new relationship with fitness and nutrition that will probably last the rest of my life. Additionally, Scott is highly empathetic. He uses this skill to ascertain what is important to you as his client, how and why fitness helps you to achieve your personal goals, and how to best influence you to make continuous progress. He truly takes the time to understand what motivates you and works tirelessly to encourage you in that customized way. The results speak for themselves. One year in, I am the leanest and strongest I have ever been. Routine training with Scott provides incentive for me to exercise on my own so that I can reach the next level during my next session with him. His encouragement has motivated me to make real change to my daily routine. On a personal note, Scott is extremely intelligent, a great conversationalist, and a truly engaging guy. The hour you spend with him will fly by and you will learn something from him every time. He is personable, fun, and has great taste in music. I cannot recommend Scott and SY Performance training enough. read more

Finding a personal trainer was something that my wife and I had discussed many times but a busy schedule and maybe a little bit of fear that it would be a "boot camp" mentality led us to be a bit reluctant to take the steps. Both of us walk at least 5 miles every day and felt that we were in decent shape, but we have relatively sedentary jobs and were just feeling like we needed to up the ante so to speak. My wife found SY Performance through a Yelp review for personal trainers in the Burbank area and we met with Scott who explained the program and instantly made us feel like it was a fit. We signed up on the spot and were paired with Kerri as our personal trainer. There was an option to do either a solo class or as a couple and we chose the latter option feeling that we would push each other more that way. That's worked out great and it's awesome that SY offers it. It wasn't long (maybe the 2nd session) before I realized that I was not in the "decent" shape that I thought I was. I know Kerri was going "easy" on me but I was exhausted and sore! She is a great coach and worked with both my limitations and personality to keep me motivated and feeling like I could do the workouts and improve my strength and achieve the results I was hoping for. We are now 11 weeks in (3 times a week) and I find that I am looking forward to the workouts and miss them on weekends. I've seen results and I am eager to progress further. My goal was some weight loss and to gain strength and some tone. I've seen results in all areas. Looking around at other clients, they cater to all levels. They are friendly, fun and seem to truly care about their clients. It's the perfect fit for us and I am confident that anyone looking for a personal trainer that can accommodate to personal needs and schedules will find what they are looking for with SY Performance. read more

I went to SY Performance after turning 50 and having a disappointing bone scan. I'd been pretty active most of my life, but had gotten complacent in the past five years. I wasn't sure that I still knew how to safely and effectively work out. My trainer, Scott, totally did! Scott has so much knowledge, patience and compassion. With hip and spine issues, in addition to overall bone health issues, I wanted to avoid injury and get stronger and tone up. My three times a week workouts have become the highlight of my week. Along with that, Scott provides personal nutrition plans and virtual support. The cleanliness of the gym and the quality of equipment are also top-notch, and parking is easy. I recommend SY Performance for anyone looking for excellent personal training in a supportive, welcoming environment. read more

I can't say enough about Scott. He is an fantastic trainer, the best in my opinion. Scott has fun and takes pride in his field. It shows. He stays focus on your specific goals and wants his clients to succeed on their own once the training is complete. He is extremely diligent on using proper form and explaining the "whys" of each workout. Before Nov 2018, I rarely stepped foot in a gym. I never felt comfortable. What exercises should I do? How does that machine work? Am I doing it right? Clueless. I decided that morning walks and biking was my main source of exercise. Then, I realized that strength training was needed after 2+ years at a stressful desk job. My body was overall stiff and experiencing minor pains. As a gift to myself, I signed up for Scott's training program. My main goal was to improve my overall strength. Now, I can proudly say I am stronger. For example, I can dumbbell press 3 sets using 15 or 20 pounds. That is a major improvement for me. As a bonus, I receive multiple compliments on my arms. Angela Bassett arms ...Here I come !!! Also, I am confident going to the gym ( Funxional Fitness, YAY!). I know my way around. And Scott, Jessica and the other trainers are always encouraging and willing to help. They are truly genuine people. I didn't just finish the program stronger and knowledgeable. I gained a trusted friend. Thank you, Scott. read more

I have been going to SY Performance for 7 months with Laynie as my coach. I just got to say that my entire experience with SY has been fantastic. Laynie has helped me lose a significant amount of weight while also gaining a lot of muscle. She has been a wonderful coach, person, and friend - pushing me to handle greater weight and making me stick to the workout plan even on those mornings I don't want to do it. SY Performance really gives you the accountability you need to build great habits and eat better (they include a meal plan for your body type as well). What I love most is that each workout has been tailored to me by Laynie. I had issues with my posture, especially from sitting at a desk all day. But the way I carry myself has completely changed after developing a stronger core and legs. I definitely feel like the body I achieved with them is a lot more in in line with being "the real me" and I can't thank Laynie and Scott enough for helping me get to this point. read more

Scott Yone-MY-HERO is the truth! I needed to get into a specific shape for a role and I am so glad to have been under the guidance of Scott to get me there. We didn't work to just look good aesthetically, we worked from a character based foundation- which is exactly the type of specificity I needed. I had to get to a place where it was believable for me to be a competitive triathlete. We targeted specific muscles and cleaned up my diet. I went from being 18% body fat to 8% in three months. Scott is not only a great trainer with a well of knowledge and experience, that stuff should be a requirement, but what sets him apart is his focused, detailed attention to make sure your not just physically fit but mentally up to par to make you the best you. This is a no-brainer ya'll. read more

I found Scott earlier this year when I was going through a really tough time: I was seeking help for depression, getting over a back injury, and gaining a lot of weight and had zero interest in working out or eating healthy. As part of my determination to turn my life around, I decided to invest in my health and work out with a trainer because I just couldn't motivate myself and felt totally lost about where to start. I interviewed several different trainers because I really wanted to find one who understood my goals and my need to be pushed without being pushed too much, as well as having the right positive attitude. I've worked out with trainers before and know that the 'wrong' trainer will make you dread going to the gym even more. Right from the get-go, I knew Scott was the right trainer for me because he was thorough (I had a zillion questions), extremely knowledgable, and FUN. He truly cared about my unique situation and goals (weightloss, sure, but mostly to find inspiration to become healthy/active) - he got me excited to get started (and really... getting started is the hardest part). Scott helped me figure out a tailored workout for my body taking my back injury into consideration. He even switched up some of the workouts on-the-spot if he saw that I didn't get enough sleep that day or was just having a super rough day (because your pysche affects your performance!). No cookie-cutter workout routines here! He even provided guidelines for how to work out when I am not able to get to a gym. It is part of his pride that his clients "graduate" from his program knowing how to work out on their own. I actually went to Thailand on my honeymoon last month and went to the gym to work out on my own! This may sound silly, but that was a huge victory for me. Scott made working out feel FUN and DOABLE. He will inspire you to START and CONTINUE your pursuit of physical (and mental) fitness. I am no longer intimidated by any gym machine or workout. Seriously, I consider myself super lucky that I met Scott. It is so rare to find someone so dedicated to their craft (and so effing funny!). THANK YOU SCOTT! PS: I've seen some of his other clients over the past few months (esp the ones who work out on the same days I do).. and their changes are TOTALLY noticeable! I see them coming in and pushing themselves - it's really amazing. read more

Scott is the best trainer you could ask for! Especially during these unprecedented times. He will work out with you at a park or in your backyard. He works with your schedule! He also knows a thing or two about fitness. He has helped me drop from 310 pounds to 250 pounds safely! No sad flabby skin here. Beyond his insane knowledge about exercise, he is also the most down to earth reasonable person to chat with while working out. It is a 2 for one. You get a good work out in, and you get to talk to a real human with common sense while doing so! I always feel better after working out and talking with Scott 10/10 would recommend. He follows all the COVID Guidelines. read more

My husband and I did the 90-day challenge with Scott, and it was exactly what we needed! After two years of pandemic lethargy, it felt good to find a well-structured and supportive program to get us going again. We both feel so much better, stronger, more energetic than we did 90 days ago, and I'm also wearing clothes again that haven't fit for years. I'm grateful for the kick start and am glad to continue working out with Scott and see the gains we can achieve next. Thank you! read more

Shout out to Scott and his team! I recently completed a 90 day challenge and had some pretty amazing results. I couldn't have done it without the guidance from Scott. With all the different meal options and instructional videos for our workouts he made it hard to fail. This is only the beginning of my health and fitness journey. If you're looking to lose weight, build muscle, learn about healthy eating habits then please don't hesitate to call Scott. Thank you SY performance ! read more

I came to Sy performance to do the 90 Day Transformation Challenge. I had become sedentary after quitting my old gym four months prior and I needed to jump start my fitness program for my wedding in July of 2022. I met Scott and liked him immediately- He was friendly, supportive, and excited to work with new members. Once I started the 90 day transformation challenge, I felt re energized! Scott set out weekly nutrition plans that were easy to follow and gave us a workout every day. I loved the convenience of online coaching through an app because it gave me the flexibility to work out when it was convenient to me and my busy schedule. We had a Facebook group for additional support and Information and I was able to reach Scott via messenger or in the coaching app-I felt like I was being held accountable by him which was exactly what I needed! The workouts were fun and challenging and I noticed a difference within a few weeks. When I bought my wedding dress back in November Of last year, I was between sizes and asked to purchase the smaller fit. I just received the dress and it is a little big! You MUST give this place a try-Scott won't let you down! Scott had incentives every week and we had the opportunity to win some wonderful prizes along the way. I look forward to working with Scott again and will definitely sign up for the next challenge-let's GO!!! read more
