    Blanca Q.

    I started the 6 week hard body challenge because I need accountability and team environment to get me back to my athletic mind set pre baby. I had a couple of friends who had done challenges and had two different experiences so I didn't know what to expect. All I knew was that I was going to put my all and follow the camps recommendations. Every time I went to the camp I felt motivated, the trainers pushed me, the music got me in the zone and I built community. I exceed my expectations, just reach the 5% goal, and at the end lost 6.9%. During the 6 week journey I never felt alone or lost. I loved that the camp had an app which told me exactly what to do at the gym to complete my weight lifting homework. I loved the FB support groups as I felt I could go to them for food prep ideas when I felt stuck. Overall I would recommend the camp!

    The Camp Transformation ~ "6 Week Weight Loss Challenge" review: I began the challenge on June 6th at a starting weight of 230.1 lbs, by the end of the six weeks I weighed in at 205.7 lbs, so I lost 24.4 lbs! I'm so excited and feel amazing. The Camp is very structured about these challenges, it's not just a bootcamp style workout it 's also an eating plan of cutting calories, fat and sugars, while reducing portions (you are instructed that you must eat every 2.5 to 3 hours, because of the smaller portions). But that is all explained before your six weeks begin because you must attend a nutrition class, so they can go over what you can eat on their plan and give you a presentation on their protein shakes, supplements, etc. After the first week, you will find the need for a change in the food, so definitely join the FB Group and see what people in the past have done, and what new things they are doing. A lot of the things that you can eat or use for flavorings or even creative recipes will be found there, not in the handbook. And, yes, what is posted as an acceptable meal/recipe does fall within the plan, because the members of the group won't let anything slide by that doesn't meet The Camp requirements, members are militant. The classes are fast-paced and intense, you're in and out in under an hour. Some of the instructors are amazing, organized and a lot of fun, others are less so and very hard to hear/understand with all the thumping motivational party music. Brandon is definitely a favorite among the trainers! The staff is very friendly and positive, and overall it was a great experience and I would do it again. It's been a wonderful kick start to a more healthy lifestyle, and I certainly feel more confident in my ability to pursue other kinds of sports/fitness activities now that I'm stronger and lighter.

    Just finished a 5 AM workout session.  Thank you  The Camp and trainers for pushing me . Day 3

    Finally completed the 6 week 20lb challenge today. Its been a long tough journey but wonderful humbling experience as well. I was able to loose 22.9 lbs by Following The Damn Instructions, putting in the work, but most importantly having FUN. The whole crew at The Camp Pasadena is phenomenal at what they do and will help you out every step of the way. I tried many times to loose weight by myself and trying the latest diet trends, but always found myself coming up short. It wasn't until I found The Camp that I was truly able to find a system that worked and most importantly enjoyed doing. 6 If your skeptical about trying it out, or unsure if working out is for you. Give it a try, they offer day passes as test runs. I went in full of doubts and came out a fan Thank you The Camp Pasadena

    Challenge completed!!!! Goal was lose 5% body fat, result was 6.8%....
    Cameron P.

    I just finished my 6 week challenge to lose 5% and I ended up losing 6.7%. Overall the experience was great! Two thumbs up. Before the start of this challenge my spouse, my mother and I started with a 21 day challenge kind of like a preview. We all enjoyed the workouts, the trainers and the atmosphere and decided to go for a second round together. It was definitely a challenge sticking to the diet, but that is how we all met our goal. Not only have i lost weight and body fat, I have also put on some muscle. The front desk staff is great, they helped out a lot with our many questions. Shout out to the evening trainers Javier and Terita for their tough workouts. Because I saw great results with this challenge I will become a member so that I can continue my fitness journey.

    My goal !
    Z F.

    I'm currently doing the 6wk challenge. I attend classes at the Pasadena location. On week#4. So far I have lost 7.3lbs. I know I should be farther alone to be to meet the 20lb goal. BUT you know what ? I feel great, have more energy and my spirits are high. HOWEVER today, I was knocked down cold by a ruthless office staff member who checked me in for my weekly weigh in. This is what happened... After she took my weight she asked " has anyone talked to you about your options?" I said not yet, hoping that she would follow with some great tips on how I could still have a chance to meet the goal. Instead, she went on to tell me that I was too far behind to meet my goal and that I could "opt out" or pay extra money to join their different types of memberships! Can you believe this girl ! I was so sad and discouraged I was so shocked I turned around, said thanks "I'll think about it" and went to join my class. What I should have really done is told her in that moment how discouraging and negative her advice was. She wasn't even tactful in her approach... not that it would have made me feel better, but I have heard other staff talk to members about the famous tilapia diet, more cardio, carb cycling, etc., as options to still try their best to get as close to the goal. Instead I got a talk about quitting and paying more money for a membership???? I truly believe about the mission of TC and I feel it's a disservice to the organization to have someone like that working and talking to the members. I hope I'm not alone when I say that I joined this group with so much enthusiasm and hope that I would gain back the motivation and strength to have a healthier future ... even if I didn't loose the 20lbs. I used to be an athlete and have always been active, so I know that I can do great things when I set my mind to it. BUT today this interaction really shattered my spirit and I felt for all those others who might end up talking to her next. I know I can get back on my feet... but will they ???? TC - please make sure this doesn't happen to anyone else !

    Ready to kick some butt!!!

    I completed a free pass on the website but haven't gotten an email or call to see what the next steps are? Do I just show up to a class? Could I do that today or is there a specific day I would need to come in?

    Hi Blanca! Thank you for reaching out. We're closed today due to the Rose Parade. Feel free to stop by tomorrow as we are back to normal hours to redeem your free pass.

    What time are the group classes? Are they all day, morning, afternoon, evening?

    Hi Blanca, here is our schedule below: Monday - Friday… 

    I am considering joining the camp and perhaps doing a challenge to lose weight gained after having a baby, does the camp offer a free pass to see if I want to join?

    Hi Blanca! Thank you for reaching out. Yes, we offer free trial passes to have you experience the classes. Can you make it in tonight or tomorrow morning?

    What is the cost of the classes?

    Asking the Real Question here.

    If signing up for a challenge, how many times a week are you required to work out?

    There are 42 days in the challenge. Must work-out at least 30 times. You pick days & times. Classes are unlimited.

    Can you take classes even if you don't need to lose 20 lbs?

    Hi Natasha! Yes, you can come take the classes no matter what your fitness goals are. We have lots of people who join our Hard Body Challenge as well. That's a great program…

    I heavily considered not leaving a review because I feared criticism from the trainer, but I felt…read moreso bad after our trial session that I felt the need to say something. Our session was good, but I needed time to deliberate before moving forward - it was a bit commitment and I needed some time to reflect. The trainer got incredibly heated, first going on about how great his services were compared to everyone else and then shaming me for not committing on the spot and wasting his time. I let the trainer know that I am unemployed and rely on my parents for financial support, so I needed to deliberate with them before proceeding further. I felt belittled for communicating my needs, and received harsh criticism from the trainer about being "a waste of time." It should be noted that on the website, the first session is advertised as a "no obligation free workout." But the session took place in a paid gym. He paid for the day pass, which I was very grateful for, but upon completion, I refunded the money back. Still, I continued to receive verbal abuse from the trainer post session (see screenshot below) Final thoughts: don't offer no-commitment complimentary sessions on your website if you're gonna accuse people of wasting your time and shame clients. UPDATE: I've continued to be harassed by the trainer. Completely unprofessional.

Rudy does exactly that. He also pays attention to every detail--form, nutrition, and proper programming. He didn't just give me a meal plan; he explained how to fuel my body for recovery and performance, adjusting macros based on my progress and how I felt each week. That alone made a huge difference in my energy during heavy lifts. Where Rudy really shines is powerlifting-focused strength building. He broke down each compound lift--squat, bench, deadlift--fixing small form inefficiencies which helped me prevent and recover from nagging injuries. Rudy pushes me past my limits. On days when I thought I had nothing left, he'd adjust the weight or rep scheme just enough to force an extra quality set. He knows exactly when to add intensity and when to pull back, which built my mental toughness without breaking me down.

That all changed when I started training with Rudy at his private spot in Pasadena about two months ago. Rudy is just the best--he's become a total friend and is so easy to talk to. He's incredibly kind and never tries to "oversell" you on anything. What I love most is that he's a total pro who doesn't talk down to you; he just breaks down the science behind the "why" so everything actually makes sense. He doesn't sugarcoat the truth, but he's always there throughout the day with check-ins and encouragement to keep me moving. The results have been such an eye-opener! I was really frustrated that my weight loss had stalled, but Rudy helped me figure out how to drop the weight safely and consistently--without ever feeling like I was starving. In just two months, I'm already down about 9 pounds of fat and successfully recomping at the same time. The biggest surprise, though? Discovering what I'm actually capable of! I had no idea I was this strong, but with his structured program, I just hit a massive milestone: deadlifting 185 lbs for 5 reps! Beyond the lifting, his knowledge of hormonal health and wellness has been a total game-changer for my energy levels. He's so passionate about what he does and truly goes the extra mile to tailor everything to you. If you want a trainer in Pasadena who actually knows his stuff and cares about your progress, Rudy is definitely your guy!

The coaches adjust the level of difficulty based on the level of students that show up for that specific class. Regardless what the level of student, each class will guarantee an amazing workout that pushes the mind(learning different boxing skills) and the body. The gym is very clean and has a small free weights section attached to it. Not only can one improve his/her boxing skill, one can lift weights and get stronger and fitter as well. All coaches are very qualified. Some have been boxing for decades and some are pro fighters. I have taken some private classes. I had nothing but amazing sessions. The price is very reasonable as well. $150 for basic gym membership which includes all classes and all access to the entire gym. $250 is the next level up which is what I have. It includes two 1hr private sessions per months which is easily $200 plus at other boxing gyms. Also, a pair of hand wraps and boxing gloves will be provided when signing up. Another $100 value. Personally, I lost 25 lbs since I joined the gym and on my way to my first sparring session. Shark Boxing is just AWESOME!!! For anyone who is hesitating, don't. You won't regret join this gym.

I'm not old, but I'm not super young either, and I've started to become more prone to injury if I don't workout with the right form or try to ramp up too quickly. Gone are the days of easily waking up at 5am to sprint around my college campus without a care in the world. But, thankfully I found Francesca! I was at first skeptical of having a trainer via Zoom; I was convinced that I needed to have someone see and work with me in person. After a session or two however I realized that this was going to work great - with two kids and being a busy professional, Francesca was able to work with my schedule and meet me virtually where I was at, both fitness-wise and time-wise. I've been working with her for a few months now and feel WAY stronger and more fit than I did going into this - and thankfully, with zero injuries. I had a hip problem due to running for the past year that was not responding well to PT, and within a month of working with her I was able to run again, which was a huge breath of fresh air. I literally cancelled my remaining PT sessions because she was far more helpful than the PT folks who were working with me. Our sessions are focused and intense, with me warming up prior and then jumping into the exercises with her. A big plus is that many of the exercises in her repertoire require few props - at most, a chair or a set of 5-10lb weights. Ultimately, I would recommend her without hesitation for anyone looking to step up their health game!
