I really like the strength code. The trainers & staff are very nice. The equipment is clean and well maintained. The way that they structure the exercises really helps you get muscle activation and lift healthy. I have a tendency to get tendinitis and it scares me to do repetitive exercises because I don't want to get inflamed. The workouts at the strength code help me lift heavy with no pain. I also do calisthenics and some bodyweight workouts, and I feel that combining those with the lifting from the strength Code is really setting things off nicely. read more

Great one on one training! They cater to your needs, especially if you are recovering from an injury. The entire staff is so kind and good at what they do. I highly recommend them! read more

I have had great results in my time at Strength Code. I have definitely gotten stronger and my energy has increased.

Rickie is an awesome trainer! Actually all the trainers are knowledgeable and friendly. I've been going weekly for a year and have so much improvement in my posture, balance and ability to run up and down stairs! I recommend highly read more

The Strength Code is the #1 place I've ever been to for the most efficient, effective, & injury-free strength training. I love doing their personal 1-on-1 training sessions & small semi-private group classes (with fun music!). I've trained with most of the trainers, who are all super-experts & truly awesome people. I've benefited in so many ways. First: I got toned for my wedding in just weeks - I've always been a cardio person but I hit a plateau - after training at The Strength Code I was finally able to get to a new level of ability & physique. I got so many compliments about my arms at my wedding (bonus!) but most important: it really rounded out my fitness - improving my workouts & helping me do more things in life that I didn't even know I could be strong enough to do. Plus - I can come & workout in my jeans, work clothes, or sweats! No fancy outfits needed! The facility is clean, spacious, modern, & upscale too. Last, it makes me feel really good to see people coming in & out of the studio of truly all ages (from students to people even older than my grandparents!!), body types, ability levels, & diverse backgrounds starting from ground 0 or even coming back from injuries or surgeries. It just shows how much this really works - at any starting point, and for the long-haul. I couldn't recommend more!! read more

Amazing people and results! I've been a regular for 4 years now for a reason. This weekly investment works on all levels. I really look forward to my weekly 30 minutes at Strength Code for the muscle and the mental health gains. All these trainers schmooze and help you lose. read more

I love that Rickie is always friendly, attentive and super professional. She takes nite if I have injuries and while she encourages me to always achieve more she never pushes me past my limits read more

The atmosphere, the trainers, location, etc...Honestly, there's not one thing to dislike about TSC! Joe is an awesome and attentive trainer- tough love, caring, and supportive. TSC is a happy, safe space where you can learn, focus on your health and well-being, and meet cool people read more

I love The Strength Code, and I love Ann. I particularly like that I've gained a tremendous amount of strength and have never been injured because Ann and your other trainers understand which muscles are being targeted, and they observe to make sure every exercise is done correctly. I've never been injured from working out at The Strength Code. read more

After having back surgery in September 2022, I looked for a trainer or facility that could me incorporate a sense of physical therapy into my exercise and build strength that I lacked before. I ended up finding Strength Code and chose Jon due to his experience with pre-existing injuries, and he has been a fantastic fit. When I started in May 2023, my max leg press weight was about 60lbs and within 2 months (or less?) - Jon got me back up to 200lbs. The slow-motion training really allows me to feel safe from repeating any past injuries. Furthermore, everyone there is always kind & encouraging. I've also had sessions with Wendy, who's fantastic, and Ann has always been incredibly helpful in responding to any of my email inquiries. Just a really welcoming environment and great for anyone looking to invest in their longterm health goals and don't know where to start. read more

The Strength Code has helped me get back into working out this year; I've been doing sessions with Ann and Jon and not only are they very knowledgable, but also easy to talk to and make the time fly by. The sessions are around 30min, but the equipment and movements are streamlined to make every minute count. I appreciate that the exercises are able to be modified for any pre-existing injuries that might limit certain movements. In general the exercises are slow and controlled, kind of like pilates for strength training. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a supportive environment to train in. read more

See all

I wanted to work out and get in shape but was struggling achieving that goal by myself. I found the Strength Code in my neighborhood, and I couldn't be happier. I love Wendy, my trainer! She understands my goals and customizes my workouts, gives me meal advice, and is a great conversationalist. The workouts are only 30min which allows me to fit them in my busy schedule! I love it! read more

Wanted to follow up on Sheila's response to my review: 1. Sheila reinforced that the Strength Code is solely 1:1 workouts (with knowledgeable trainers, I might add). So this is absolutely something to consider when deciding to join this gym. 2. I disagree with Sheila's statement "weight loss is all about what you are eating". In my experience it is also about cardio. This gym offered none at the time I was there (although I've noticed they've added a stationary bike recently). I can confirm that adding cardio back into my routine absolutely helped me lose weight, and because I continue to lift, that weight loss has been mainly fat, not muscle. That said, watching your macro nutrients and calorie intake is another way to lose weight. And again, this gym is focusing on strength building not weight loss, which is what I went there for at the time. 3. I was on a 2x / wk plan at The Strength Code which, per their website, currently goes for $552. For a similar amount, I am getting 4 workouts in a week. 2 workouts are group classes, 2 are one-on-one with different trainers. So it is incorrect to assume I only do group classes. In my experience, group workouts can be more cost efficient and effective. That said, group classes aren't for everyone and injury can occur more easily in a group setting. 4. It is true that when I had classes to make up, I finally figured out to go down to a 1x/week membership in order to fit in my make-up sessions. I don't think this is a great way to work this issue out with your clients, but Sheila is correct in saying that is an option. 5. Sheila is correct that the workouts are only 30 minutes - a true help if you are pressed for time. However, I believe the statement "Our workout is not for everyone, especially if you enjoy working out for hours every week" is misleading. 3 of my weekly workouts are an hour, 1 is a half hour so I spend 3.5 hours working out per week, when I only spent 1 hr / wk at Strength Code. One way to look at this is I'm spending more time on exercise, another way is to point out I'm getting a lot more bang for my buck. Especially when you factor in that my workouts are now more well-rounded. But for those who truly don't like spending time in a gym or are extremely time pressed, SC is a great option. 6. I did experience a pulled muscle while working out at The Strength Code that came from me not properly using one of the machines. It was ultimately not a big deal and after giving it some rest and adjusting my technique, the problem resolved itself. I'll trust Sheila on her statistics that less than 1% report getting an injury there. read more

Oh my God best gym ever. Actually, it's a studio with one on one training that is just amazing. I've been doing this for 10 years. There's no way I can go a week without going to the studio. The people are so nice and the studio is so clean and I get the best workout. You should try it. !! 10-stars!!! read more

I was first introduced to this place by the owner Sheila during a local chamber mixer. To be completely honest, I was not sold on the concept of the whole system of their workout until she told me to try 2 sessions for free and make my decision after the second workout session. So I made my appointment with Trainer Joseph for an early Sunday morning workout where I had extra time in hand to ask questions and relay my concerns. Joseph is a thru professional, he loves what he does and it really reflects on the workout. I had my 2nd free session last Saturday again with Joseph, he really watches your movements and your capabilities, and he knows when to challenge you. After Saturdays workout I knew this is what I needed to keep my body tuned, so needless to say I joined in to go 2 days a week. My 3rd session was yesterday, this time in the evening at 5:30, amazing workout overall can't wait to go in tomorrow.... read more

Everyone at the Strength Code is incredibly friendly and helpful. Jon is a great trainer who I've been working with for over a year now. I hate working out and he makes it fun. Highly recommend!! read more

I bought a groupon, and had my first appointment at The Strength Code in Toluca Lake. I give it 5 stars because I felt that I was given a wonderful and through orientation by Joseph. He explained everything I was doing and why, and he made sure I was using the correct form on all machines. Additionally, he answered all my questions, and further explained when I didn't understand the first time. I enjoyed trying the equipment and JOSEPH was very nice and personable. Also, He made me feel very comfortable. He took his time with me and I did not feel rushed. I left feeling very satisfied with the entire experience. I can't wait for my next appointment! read more

excellent way to up your fitness game efficiently! super nice team, very knowledgeable, extremely clean, very professional.

This is a good place to work out. I love the fact that it's not a fast pace workout, it's a take your time. The trainer is very helpful. If you have questions, they can tell you what muscle you are using and how the machine is helping the muscle. The business is very welcoming and the staff are very friendly. read more

The Strength Code Toluca Lake - Day 2 - Trainers Near Me - Burbank, California

The atmosphere is very positive and uplifting. The gym is very clean. Joe is an excellent trainer - very responsive to an issue I have with my neck. I always look forward to working with him. And getting results in a half hour a week is fantastic! I love it so much I've become a trainer!!! read more

I have been a client of yours for almost two years now, and the main reason I gave the top score was because of the fact that your workouts system is suited perfectly for a busy guy like myself. I have had a long break from my workout days since I became a business owner a few years ago, and free time became a big problem. I was looking to get back into the grove, but I was not successful until I discovered your gym. Great system of the workouts for busy people like myself, and friendly atmosphere 5 for each, total 10 ) Keep it up read more

FINALLY I have a place to tone up and lose fat that doesn't take up all of my time or make me exhausted. I am not a "go to the gym" kind of person but the intimacy of the one-on-one trainer experience at the Strength Code is awesome. I feel 100% supported by my amazing trainer, Wendy, who understands my body and has actually helped reduce my back pain since working out with her. I've also worked with Sheila who is awesome. My husband works out with Ann. The entire team of trainers are the most professional, attentive and supportive group of people. AND it's only once a week (or twice if you're super motivated). If you hate working out but want to tone up and slim down this is your place. read more

This girl is on FIRE! Thanks to Inform Fitness Toluca Lake and The Power of Ten workout! After trying many gyms, workouts, programs I have found The Holy Grail in this program. Inform Fitness Toluca Lake is a great facility, always very clean, comfortable and VERY welcoming...The workout is very safe while being amazingly effective. I'm on my 8th week and I feel the difference in my strength (I carried my Dyson Animal up the stairs like it was a feather )and my body feels and looks more toned. I workout with Sheila but all the trainers are very well educated in the techniques of this program and everyone is super friendly! I highly recommend this program to everyone! If you've never worked a program or if you're a gym rat this will be your FAVORITE! read more

I have never been great at physical fitness. However, I understand as I age, I have to do something to maintain strength. This is the most amazing and successful way to accomplish this! The team here is fantastic. They are sincere in their desire to see you do well. There is no pressure just a supportive, friendly atmosphere. I have been doing this for about 2 years now. I am so proud of what I have accomplished with the help of my trainer, Joe and the whole team. Thank you!!!!! read more

I bought a Groupon by the urging of a friend. A 20-30 minute workout??! Hell yeah, says my lazy butt! So, now not only is my lazy butt getting a great workout, but it's hooked as well. I actually look forward to working out now. I REPEAT... I look forward to working out now! I don't even know who I am anymore! Do not mistake the time for easy. You are getting an efficient training session that builds strength. PERIOD! After 2 months: I am stronger, I feel stronger, and I am seeing tone in my body! As much as I hate sharing that my trainer Joe is the bees knees so he does't get too booked for my time, but Joe is the bees knees :) read more

Love all the trainers at Inform, but I train with Joe! I thought it was too good to be true, but after almost a year, I've gotten so much stronger. For instance, on the leg press, I started at 180 lb., and now I'm lifting 265 lb. I honestly can't believe it! This program works! read more

Inform fitness is a workout like I have never experienced. I have played football and have done many online workout programs and I have never felt a burn like I experienced in this short 30 min workout regimen. Another crazy thing is that the workout and the burn I experienced produced no sweat. All my muscles were brought to failure and I was still able to go out and eat without feeling sweaty and stinky. The gym was also very clean and didn't smell like a gym. If you are looking for a quick work out to do during your lunch or right before you get home this is the place you need to be. Thank you, Sheila, for the amazing workout. read more

What is the "Power of 10"? It is slow motion, high-intensity exercise which is an incredibly efficient and safe method of weight training that you do once a week, for just twenty minutes. Yes, that's right. ONCE A WEEK FOR TWENTY MINUTES! Cardio is great, but when it comes down to it, muscle is key to discriminate fat loss and building a stronger, healthier body. What makes InForm Fitness different? The facilities trainers are ALL Power of 10 certified and their machines are top notch! These MedX and Nautilus machines are the "Rolls Royce" of exercise equipment...they provide smooth movements with no friction, giving you a maximum workout. Before finding InForm Fitness, my friend Joseph Altamirano used to train me using the Power of 10 method at traditional gyms (meaning 24 Hour Fitness in which half the time I'm waiting for subpar machines that need maintenance) and there is no comparison here!! Let's put it this way: It's hard to go back to regular cuts of steak after having Filet Mignon!!! I am a believer!!! At first I was skeptical about a workout that you only have to do for twenty minutes once a week and getting the same results as going to the gym five days a weeks for hours at a time. Luckily for me, Joseph kept telling me about it. Finally, one day I said let me try it and I was instantly hooked! After one session I was amazed that my body felt like it worked out for a week at a "traditional" gym with a "traditional" workout. By session three I saw my muscles becoming more defined. I was excited because building muscle means burning more fat!!! Since I've been doing slow motion training, aka The Power of 10, I've lost weight, have bought smaller jeans, and have a more sculpted butt...BONUS!!! I'm the kind of girl that judges my weight loss success by the way my clothes fit and not by the scale. I'm all about health because I'm an RN and know the importance of health and building muscle. I started this workout not necessarily aiming to lose weight, but more so to strengthen my lower back because back injuries are an occupational hazard of the nursing profession. I transfer, lift, and move patients all the time, which takes a huge toll on my back. Since starting the Power of 10, my back has been feeling stronger and less painful. There have been a few times I've skipped a workout, and when I do, I feel the difference. I feel more flabby and my back starts to bother me. But after an intense workout, I feel stronger with little to no back pain! I love the fact that I only do this once a week! Don't get me wrong, I'm not against working out, but who has the time or energy to be at the gym five to ten hours a week?! I'd rather spend that time with my loved ones and doing what I enjoy. One of my nursing friends suggested I try "CrossFit", but I said my workout is more time efficient with maximum results and much safer...why would I want to injure myself doing "CrossFit"? I think we all know at least one person who suffered some injury from doing that kind of workout. Don't schedule your life around the gym. Schedule gym into your life which is what this workout and gym exactly does! This really works, if it didn't I wouldn't be driving from Pomona to Toluca Lake! This is my longest Yelp review ever because I cannot say enough good things about the Power of 10 and InForm Fitness Toluca Lake, so come try it yourself and become a believer too! If you're still not sure, here is a list of Pros and Cons to help you decide: PROS -Time efficient (once a week for twenty minutes) -Safer method of weight training (you won't hurt yourself like with other programs such as "CrossFit"). -All training sessions are customized and molded to fit your needs and concerns. -Fast results in a short amount of time. -More muscle added to the body means a higher resting metabolic rate (burning more fat, even at rest). -The staff are all certified, knowledgeable, and friendly. -Top notch exercise machinery. -Once I start my workout I've never had to wait for a machine. -Gives you extra time to do what you want to do. Live your lives, people. CONS -Wish it was closer BUT as you can see the Pros totally outweigh the Cons. read more

Everybody at the Strength Code is amazing, and I just love the workouts, concepts and business as a whole

Joseph the trainer is very encouraging, supportive, and adaptive to my evolving goals or temporary limitations. The environment is clean, calm, and professional. Easy parking too. read more

My friend started working with Linda Cole and right before my eyes I saw a transformation that was amazing...! She is a light weight, slightly timid woman and in a very short time she became so strong and was radiating self confidence! Well.. I wanted that, too! I am at the age where I have been loosing strength and it was determined that I have osteoporosis, so I had to get busy and turn things around. I have dedicated 30 minutes a week to my work out with Linda and after just 3-4 weeks the results were very apparent. I look much better and I can carry heavy things that were becoming difficult..... that is liberating! I love it, I will always be able to schedule 30 minutes a week into my life to make the difference that is so important to the overall quality of my life. Thanks. Linda! Thanks, Inform Fitness! read more

These guys are terrific! I get just the right amount of strengthening and flexibility with Shelia and her team! I am in and out of town and they give me structure, attention and support for not only my time with them as they coach me, but with their successful helpful shout outs! My deepest gratitude to Ann who helps me feel and look sleek and strong! read more

The ladies @ InForm Fitness are well trained at kicking your butt! A local destination without the madness of driving to a 24 Hour/Ballys,etc and have to deal with parking/waiting turns to get on machines and utilize weights. Im not a gym rat by any means but a 30 min workout here with direct instruction is sufficient enough that works if you stay with it. The workout also offers a calming environment too without the excessive noise/sensory overload a super gym has. If you value time efficiency with results its worth it to try this place . read more

This place is fantastic and the workout is life changing. I hate most things that cause me to sweat and/or take me off of my couch and away from Netflix, but this is the exception. The trainers are great and the workout really makes you feel like you have accomplished something. I recommend this workout and this gym to anyone that will listen. read more

I am so addicted to this workout! I found myself getting stronger and more fit in just weeks - the progress makes you want to keep going back. In a few months I dropped two jeans sizes - without really losing any weight. Very cool! Jon is awesome! He really gets me to push myself beyond what I thought possible - while cracking me up! If I can't have some fun in a workout, I won't keep going back. He always makes it fun. But he pays such close attention to what's going on - he really knows his stuff and I know he's got my back. I have some issues and he always comes up with a workaround so I don't hurt myself. Sheila is great! What other place makes you chase after them so you can make a payment? She is so warm and friendly - love her! I feel like a family member here - sort of like my healthy version of Cheers - where everyone knows my name! Except instead of sitting on a barstool I get to sit on equipment that is going to kick my butt - and love every minute of it. Well, I'll love it when it's over... :) read more

This is by far the best workout I have ever done. Don't be fooled, this workout is extremely challenging for only being 20 minutes and it will get you stronger if you stay consistent. The entire staff is so friendly and knowledgeable - they really treat you like family. Try it once and you will be hooked for life! read more

The Strength Code is the most effective and enjoyable way to tone and strengthen the body at any age. I love it!

I was introduced to the Strength Code several years ago after a serious illness that basically destroyed muscle tone. I needed something that would restore my strength and flexibility. I found it here - and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a very time effective way to gain and maintain strength and flexibility. The facility is very personal - I go early, once a week, and usually train alone. My trainer is excellent and works closely with me on specific goals. I recommend it for all ages - but, being one, especially Seniors. read more

Thanks to a dear friend I discovered this exhilarating gym at age 75 and became hooked. Now at 77 I feel younger and stronger than in my entire life. My drive there is longer than my work out. I walk out feeling like Hercules. You owe it to yourself for both your physical and mental well being to give it a try. Ann is a great task master and I love being pushed to my limit. Grab a slot with her and if she's booked you will be lucky with anyone there. Pure dynamite one and all. read more

I love this place and my trainer, Sheila Melody, rocks! She has been helping me achieve my fitness goals through the Power of 10 method, which is a slow-motion, strength training routine. I have been doing the method for a few months now and each week I get stronger and more toned. I feel a significant difference in my core strength and any pain that I have, from sitting at a desk all week, is relieved after this workout! I have done many different workouts in my life and this one makes me feel the best without having to workout too hard or too much. Sheila has tailored the perfect workout for me and has taught me how to achieve muscle failure in our 30 minute sessions. It always amazes me when I walk out of the studio with my body feeling as it would if I had worked out for hours! Sheila is a knowledgeable, easy going, yet diligent coach and I recommend her to anyone interested in strength training and the Power of 10 method. Not to mention, the whole staff is wonderful, as well! read more
