Great people--so so friendly and solid workout! I dropped into a class and hope to come again!

Jesse and Sarah basically changed my life. All the trainers here are wonderful. Be prepared to be pushed hard while under very safe direction and guidance. Just show up and they'll take care of the rest. read more

I travel to the greater Los Angeles area several times a year and have spent the last TWO YEARS looking for a "gym away from home"....I finally found it!!! The Wellrock features small group training that focuses on form and function through just the right combination of strength training and endurance. I had the opportunity to work with three different trainers in one week - all of whom were outstanding! Each made me feel welcome, answered my questions, and was very encouraging and supportive. Each day's workout was well planned, organized, and challenging. Thank you Wellrock - if I could give you 10 stars, I would! read more

Hosted by Meredith the boutique next door. The owners are overwhelming. Great personalities, facility is small, but just right. Today's event provided opportunity for people in the community to exercise and learn somethg about nutrition. Good event. read more

See all

Jesse and Sarah are amazing. When I get to the Wellrock I feel like at home. Thanks to both of them I recovered all my mobility after 2 kids and I have a healthy weight. They really care about every single one that comes to the gym and take the time to get to know everybody and the level of fitness you have. Jesse will always push you to do a little bit more or to go with a heavier weight because he knows you can. It is an ​exercise for the body and the soul! read more

The WellRock is an absolute amazing gym. The vibes you receive from the coaches not only give you that inspiration feel, but it motivates you as well to push yourself to your max! I was in town months ago and visited this gym, the coaches were very welcoming and knowledgeable! The gym itself has everything you need to accomplish your goals! All you need to do is show up, and you'll leave feeling like a brand new person. They have really created a gym where the positive energy is undeniable and everyone truly cares about your success! No ego here! Don't take my word for it. Check them out for yourself! read more

When I came to WellRock I was over 50, in pretty good shape, as I'd done years of Kettlebell Training on my own at home and was pretty regimented about it. WellRock has taken me to a whole other level and brought me into a community of great, fun people of all abilities and ages. We all work routines that have been custom-made every time we come in. We are ALL challenged by the work-outs and NONE of us ever go home feeling defeated by it. Sarah and Jesse are sensitive, intuitive, cheerful and optimistic people that see what you can do and what you can't and see INTO where you can take it to the next stage. 99.9% of the time I look forward to my workouts, even the 6am ones! I'm now 54 years old and in the best shape of my life. Don't like going to a gym? Good. Go to WellRock. read more

I've been going to WellRock since July 2015 and I love the group workouts: supportive, challenging, fun, energetic, positive and friendly. I'm in the best shape of my life and WellRock is an integral part of self care for me. I am always engaged and encouraged to improve upon myself but not to be in competition with someone else, because it's about growth and self improvement. The class workouts are an hour long and I am never ever bored - the music is great and pumps me up! Jesse and Sarah also take time to correct our form to avoid injuries and to get the most of the movement. I love being a part of the WellRock Community and recommend anyone who wants to make a positive change, to grow stronger, to be challenged and to feel good about themselves to join! read more

Let me start by saying that I hate the gym. HATE. I'm 26 years old and up until last year, I didn't have a steady workout routine since my sophomore year in high school. Then, after the shocking realization that I had the strength of a husky 8 year old, I figured something had to be done about it. My colleague recommended The Wellrock, and continuously was on me about giving Jesse a call. After putting it off simply out of fear, I finally made the call and I can truly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. What I realized about The WellRock was that it isn't at all your typical personal training experience. Nor is it just about physical fitness. Everyone is so positive, funny, encouraging and awesome. It's more of a fitness and healthy lifestyle club than a gym. (Ew, gyms.. ) Jesse and Sarah have truly helped me make a positive turn in my life. I can constantly turn to them for advice on nutrition, posture and everything else that can be improved to better enhance my life. I've had knee problems for years, and Jesse makes sure to put time aside to care for the problem areas instead of just throwing you into the day's workout. I injured my lower back helping a friend move, and Jesse worked with me for my entire workout to stretch out my back, taught me helpful tips to use throughout my work day and at home and followed up with me until I was back at 100%. Do the workouts hurt? YES. Are you going to be pushed beyond your preconceived limits? YES. Are you going to look in the mirror at the end of the day and think what a sexy beast you've become because of the WellRock? Hell effin yes!! I've been a WellRocker for a little over a year and let me tell you, life is sexier on this side! read more

I've been coming here now for almost 8 months and I still love it. Honestly, when I signed up, I anticipated I would come for 3 months and get back to my workout game at home. I've stayed because I quickly realized how much I enjoy this. Also, though I am a diligent and self motivated person, there is no way that I could work out as effectively and efficiently as I do at WR. I feel myself welcoming the challenges at each workout because I feel myself getting stronger with each workout. Jesse and Sarah are also always introducing new information and new movements, which keeps the workouts interesting and fun. If you are hesitant about the cost, which I was at first, you might consider the old adage "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." This has been an excellent investment in my health and wellness. What I do and learn at Wellrock permeates other parts of my life in incredibly positive ways (eating well, sleeping well, etc.). I often joke that Sarah is my doctor because anytime I feel any tweak or pain (I play soccer and sometimes get banged up during games), Sarah invariably shows me an exercise or stretch that fixes the problem very quickly. I am so grateful for the Wellrock and the community it fosters. It's so much more than a workout. read more

My husband and I have been going to Wellrock for a year and feel like it's been a lifesaver. At 48 and 55, we both felt we needed to amp up our workouts, but also didn't want to get injured. Jesse and sarah create group and individual classes that meet everyone where you're at- so that there's often an array of abilities within one class that feels warm and inviting but never shaming or competitive. I've been through a lot of fitness boot camps and wellrock changes workouts every day and seasonally to keep things interesting. Socializing with other people has been great too. Couldn't ask for more!! read more

Update: two years later I'm still at The WellRock and, at 42, unconditionally the fittest I've ever been. I have put in a lot of effort in these two years, but I've also had a ton of support, both from Jesse and Sarah and from my fellow members. It's a wonderful community and I'm so honored to be part of it. Original review: I don't write many reviews because there are few businesses that compel me to do so. But I just want to express my gratitude for this gym and the community around it. Jesse and Sarah, the co-owners, are super positive and supportive and have created a welcoming culture where everyone knows each other and pushes each other to be their best. This isn't the place to go if you're trying to lose 46 pounds in a week and a half - because that's stupid, and these guys are smart. They are always researching health and fitness information and keeping clients informed. Their hearts are in this work, and it shows. read more

WellRock has changed my life and has made me a better person in all aspects - physically, mentally, and spiritually! Jesse and Sarah helped pave a positive path and I'm in the best shape that I've ever been! The workouts are never routine or boring and they're always switching it up - Depending on what you're going for, they may even customize it for you! I've tried various gym over the years but I've never been involved in a program that gave me such quick results and made me WANT to go to the gym! Not only do they keep track of your physicality but they also make sure your Diet/Nutrition is on point too! Whether it's an aerobic, cardio, or lifting (gains) day, you're in for one of the best workouts of your life! Thanks for making me a better person in every way! I'm proud to call these people my friends & family. Proud WellRocker over here! read more

I have been coming to The Wellrock for about 2 years now. I had to find a new gym with a job change, and I had seen their sign while driving by. Coming from brutal CrossFit classes, I was looking for something similar, or perhaps one level down from that. I have to say I love The Wellrock! Sarah and Jesse are the owners and trainers and they are excellent! They know proper form and know what you are capable of. Very encouraging and caring. You also develop a relationship with the other class members who are also very caring, funny, and entertaining. Classes are small so there is a lot of individual attention. You get the best of both worlds--the feeling of personal training along with a fun class ambiance. With their help, I have developed muscle and was able to lose 36 pounds before my trip to Hawaii! read more

I've been a member of the WellRock for just over a year. Prior to joining, I had never done any serious strength training and got my exercise primarily from hiking and other outdoor activities. Starting in with the group classes, it didn't take long to realize how much of my body I wasn't properly conditioning and needed some serious attention! Jesse and Sarah have been amazing trainers. They're informative, patient, caring, and inspirational. They tailor the exercises of each class to the individuals and adjust depending on where you are in your workout journey. It's been immensely satisfying to feel myself getting stronger over time and although the workouts can be quite tough, I've come to really enjoy the challenge and the way I feel afterwards. With the stresses of daily life, these workouts have been an anchoring point in my week and I always look forward to them. Beyond the workouts, Jesse and Sarah are a great source of advice on all aspects of personal wellness. The community they've built around the gym is also wonderful. There are people of all ages and fitness levels supporting each other's journeys. I feel so fortunate to have found the WellRock -- I can't recommend it enough! read more

I just wanted to share my experience with everyone else. I am 33 and have been going to The WellRock for over 2 years now and Absolutely love this place. Jesse and Sarah are the best trainers I've had. They dedicate their time and put in a great amount of effort to make you be best person you can be. All the wellrockers are super friendly and we have become a big family. We have done many spartan races together and can't wait to do more . We challenge ourselves as a team and only try to better ourselves. I feel honored and bless to have found this place and be a part of the team. I've lost over 30 pounds and in the best shape of my life. I used to go to equinox and had private lessons there but nothing can compare to what you truly get at The WellRock. Anyone looking for a new place to workout and be part of an amazing team should definitely give The WellRock a chance. Thanks for everything!! read more

The WellRock - Before and after !! - Trainers Near Me - Altadena, California

UPDATE: I just marked my two year anniversary of working out at The Wellrock. For the past six months I've been coming 5 days a week. Anyone who knows me, knows how much I HATE to work out. I never imagined I would be one of those people who actually loves going to the gym and is actually committed to working out 5 times a week. The Wellrock turned me into that person. Sarah and Jesse are truly committed to their clients' long-term health wellbeing. They're also just incredible, sweet, generous, kind, and loving people. Without them I would almost certainly not be exercising regularly. read more

The WellRock has proven to be a success story. Not only does Jesse supervise you on all your activity, but also pays attention to your food, body style, your strength/weakness, special conditions, etc. Because of him I have lost 2 belt sizes, have more stamina, and feel energized throughout the day. I've tried the 24hour and all alike gyms, but couldn't give me what I got here. There's absolutely no gymtimidation here and actually other people (even strangers) encourage me not to give up & push for more. That's worth a million dollars. I'm in my mid 30th and have never been able to do a pull-up. Never. With Jesse's creativity and support, I now can do pull-ups easily and do push ups with my 2 kids on my back! That's insane! And all is thanks to The WellRock. I love the friendly environment here and how the program is constructed. Scheduling is pretty flexible and he's also affordable too! No contracts no gimmicks no hassles. Just show up & he'll do the rest. It is definitely worth a try... read more

I'm going to try to explain how Wellrock has changed my whole outlook on life. Through their personalized, thoughtful and caring fitness program they've made me a better violin player. Crazy? I know, but I've always had trouble being completely successful in my goals. I just figured I didn't have it in me and would get frustrated and quit. Jesse and Sarah have taught me that you can achieve anything through mastering (and loving!) the baby steps first. At 53 years old they've taught me how to do a handstand again. I'm so excited to work on them that I come to class 1/2 hour early everytime just to get extra practice in! As far as the violin goes, I used to get frustrated that I couldn't play EVERYTHING the second I picked it up. Now I just take it one note at a time and eventually I'm playing a song as well as learning the theory behind it. I will be forever grateful for everything they've done. read more

The WellRock - 53 year old body doing a handstand! - Trainers Near Me - Altadena, California

This is the PLACE! For inspiration, coaching, guidance, team support, and customized plans that I can stay committed too a see real lasting results. I'll never waste my money at a boring old school "gym" again. This is the PLACE! read more

So, after reading these other reviews, I will tell you that I'm not in my mid 30's or 40's. I'm in my 50's and for those of us who have "crossed over," we all know how much life changes after 50! Sure, I was a size 6, in great shape, could run 5 miles on the beach and lose weight easily when I was 35, but then 50 happened....and every time I'd go to the gym, something would go wrong. I'd pull a muscle, hurt my back, twist my ankle....and that would frustrate me to no end... I was in pain and not want to go anymore...which only made me feel worse. Frustration leads us to look for "comfort" on the sofa and/or in the pantry ...and then our clothes aren't ours anymore because they don't fit. Damn! So, a friend told me about the WELLROCK and I decided to give it a try. I met Jesse and Sarah and got inspired again, since it's also a great group of members and everyone is very supportive. But here's the difference - Jesse and Sarah REALLY get to know YOU and offer so much more than just a daily workout! It is truly a place to improve YOUR body, mind and soul....not just the person working out next to you. First, you should know that Jesse and Sarah are very meticulous about creating a WOD (workout of the day) that is customized for every single one of their clients by offering and demonstrating different levels of doing an exercise so that YOU will benefit from it ( vs. just giving up because you feel you can't do it or you're afraid to try because you think you'll get hurt). They're right there with you, motivating you every baby step forward and celebrate your progress. If they see you struggling, they'll step right in and modify the exercise so that you don't get injured. This was HUGE for me because I'm not getting hurt anymore. And even though I may do a scaled down version of the work out...I'm still benefiting from it and working toward the next level, all the time. Actually, we all are, because there's no one there who isn't being challenged! The gym is very basic, no fancy machines, because they believe in strength conditioning using mainly weights and resistance training. But it's not just a gym...WELLROCK is place to learn! I feel like I know so much more about what I call "Natural Nutrition" and what TO eat (vs. what NOT TO) and more importantly, why! They've clarified all the misconceptions about fats and oils and sugar and grains. They're always enlightening us with relevant information about improving our health and what habits to start forming for a healthier life. We are all pretty confident in their recommendations because they are both voracious readers and are always looking for solid data and evidence to support them. (Not just the latest fads.) Learning how to breath better, for example, or about meditation benefits and the value of a positive mindset are just some of the topics they discuss during our sessions. Going to WELLROCK is truly an education in itself because I think it helps a person identify what they want out of life and helps them set and achieve those goals, day by day. If you have a particular issue or struggle, they'll even research that and try to address it and work with you personally. Anything they can do to lead you to a healthier and happier you. Truly! What more can you ask?! Now, I don't think I'm at my personal best yet, but they've given me many reasons to believe in myself and tools to keep me going to get there. Going there every morning motivates me to keep at it ...and isn't that the push we all need? Don't think about it anymore...just come and see for yourself! read more
