    Before TFL /  After
    Marci C.

    My journey with TFL started with the Drop 2 Sizes (D2S) program in January 2018. During this 8-week program, I dropped 2 sizes. I had such great results with it, that I completed D2S 2 additional times. I went from a size 20 (XXL) to 14 (L). I had not had this type of success with an exercise program EVER! There are several reasons this program worked for me: the outstanding training and coaching provided by Caesar and Dorian, the nutritional component, the educational component, and the variety of exercise classes offered. The family environment was an added bonus! The enthusiasm and passion Caesar demonstrates makes you want to do your best and succeed in your fitness goals. He is invested in his clients and their progress, which is something I had never experienced before. Caesar takes working out to a different level. He has organized holiday (family) workouts for the 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and even an annual anniversary party to celebrate the establishment of TFL. He has created a TFL team to participate in local 5K's. He signed up TFL to participate in the 2019 Downey Holiday Parade. He has organized opportunities for gym participants to give back to the community by volunteering at the LA Food Bank. He works with local schools to educate children on nutrition and exercise. He has coordinated several team challenges to push us to work harder and do better (i.e. In-Body Contest, MEP Challenge, etc.). He challenges us to be the best version of ourselves. For all these reasons, TFL WILL BE THE LAST GYM I WILL EVER NEED! Let it be yours too.

    I have been training with Dorian for about 10 weeks now. Not have I only seen have I seen results, but I have learned how to use proper form. His encouragement and guidance is superb! He is with you every step of the way - constantly ensuring you stay focused, but comfortable. I look forward to my workouts with him. Strongly recommend!

    The picture on the left is from a year ago today. I thought I was "in shape" going to the gym 3 days a week and doing my own mediocre workouts at home. I ate whatever I wanted, when I wanted and had no regard for what it may be doing to my body. Flash forward to the picture on the right. I really began my fitness journey a year ago with TFL and the results have been tremendous. I've always been "thin" but never have I ever felt so confident in my my own body and my ability to improve it on all levels. Learning what to eat and what not to eat was the easy part. Actually doing it and sticking to it as much as I possibly can is tough. I can't wait to see what this year brings in my fitness journey. SHOUTOUT to my trainers and workout buddies at TFL. I couldn't have done it without your guidance and support.

    After just 4 days of working out here, I can honestly say the $160 membership is absolutely worth…read moreit. Before coming in, I read a review claiming there was only one restroom available. That's completely false. There are several restrooms and I've never had to wait. The overall aesthetic of this place is top tier. The equipment is high quality, well maintained, and there's plenty of space to train. The gym is split into two sides and now they even have MAD Pilates, which is a great addition. So far, I haven't had to wait for equipment once. Even when it's busy, I've still been able to get a full workout in without issues. That's a huge difference compared to the gym up the street (Chuze), where you'll often see groups of people camping on the same machine. On weekends I come right when the doors open and it's about as empty as it gets. Perfect way to start the day. One warning though: don't try the peanut butter and jelly shake... unless you want to get hooked. It's that good. The turkey wrap is also a solid option. The staff has been amazing and welcoming since day one. Overall experience so far: 10/10. Highly recommended

    I really enjoy this gym and appreciate the space and equipment, but I wanted to share some…read morefeedback. The heater being on full blast in the mornings makes it really uncomfortable to work out. The fans are not on, so there's no relief when the heat is running. I mean really how cold can it get in SoCal where the heater needs to be on full blast Also, it would really help if staff wore something identifiable, like a uniform shirt. There have been a few times I wanted to purchase a protein shake, but I couldn't tell who worked there or who to ask for help. Lastly, there have been times when there were no wipes available to clean the machines. Overall, still a great gym, just a few small improvements that would make a big difference! Sincerely Your overhead friend

    So when I went to check out the camp which I found by a add on Instagram, I was pulled in by it…read moresaying free 6 week challenge, thinking they were just Abington free classes or something to get you to join the gym , which I was looking to do. It turns out it's far from free and far from what I expected or anticipated. The last 6 weeks of doing the hard body challenge have been, well nothing like I expected. When I went to the first meeting seeing all the things we had to do, like checking in for every visit, leaving reviews, and oh my goodness, the meal plan they give out. I was so discouraged and overwhelmed but I though what the heck I'll do my best and at least I'll be eating better and being active. Long story short, I couldn't believe the results I got in only the first 3 weeks! I had already met the 5% body fat loss goal!! The book and their motto is FTDI, and honestly if you do, I don't know how you wouldn't be able to meet your goal and more. This challenge is not for the weak I will tell you that. Meal prepping was very important. Every night i made my meals for the next day, got up at 6 am and went to do my "homework" weight lifting before my 7 am work out class. The class are tough, but they are fun and can be modified for every and any level your at. If your not leaving their a sweaty mess, then did you even go? Lol I took their AM pill in the morning before class to help with energy and burn fat, then have my breakfast after class, two hours later my protein shake which I make with my Ice coffee , then two hours later I have my lunch followed by two hours later protein shake, and again two hours later dinner, then 2 PM pills before bed to help with sleep and burn fat. And of course lots of water in between mixed with my BCAA watermelon flavor. I will tell you, if you do not have friends and family who support and help you threw this, it will be very hard to eat healthy and constantly the whole time. But don't give up, everyday is a new day to try and do better and be stronger. I 100% recommend doing the 6 week challenge, and I look forward to continuing working out at the camp.
