My husband and I have been training with Travis for years. He's a great trainer. He provides challenging workouts and knows just how to get us to the edge of our capacity without leaving us utterly wiped out. I've found that this approach allows me to gradually gain strength that I can sustain. It feels good to know that I'm continually getting stronger in a safe way. read more

We wanted to find a trainer that would get us in shape for our wedding - thankfully, Travis came through and really helped us work out a routine that catered to our skill level and lifestyle. We always left our training sessions feeling good and energized, and we've incorporated a lot of his exercises into our at-home workouts. We were able to reach our weight/fitness goals successfully and felt like a million bucks at our wedding. On top of that, Travis is just a great guy - we always looked forward to catching up with him and seeing how his family was doing. Our conversations kept us going throughout each training session, and we feel like we gained a friend as well as a trainer. We recommend him highly! read more

I've been training with Travis now since February and it's been amazing! I've never trained with a personal trainer before, partially because in my head I had this image of a drill sergeant/boot camp type taskmaster and that's not been my experience with Travis. He's exceptional and keeping you on your goals, encouraging in a very positive way, has helped me build muscle and strength, two areas of my fitness journey that I've never excelled at. On top of being a great trainer, he's an awesome person to talk to, easy to get along with, while still pushing you to be better and better and get stronger and stronger or more flexible, or more toned, whatever your individual goals are! I work out with him twice a week and at the end of every session I may be exhausted but I'm happy and know that it's been a great workout and have definitely noticed my fitness overall has vastly improved! I could not recommend him enough! read more

Travis is a fantastic trainer! I have been training with Travis for about a year and sought him out because I wanted to get in shape after having a baby but was having trouble motivating myself. Our sessions are fun and are a perfect balance of strength and cardio. He's also great at communicating and it's easy to schedule sessions. I look forward to our sessions and have really noticed a difference in my physicality, strength, and endurance. He's even designed workouts when I've been on vacation which I really appreciate. I highly recommend Travis if you're looking to stay fit or work toward a goal. read more

I started working out with Travis a year ago to keep me accountable and moving my body. Travis is very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He always encourages me to push through without being pushy. I always feel thoroughly worked out after each session and will definitely continue training with him! read more

My wife and I have been training with Travis for a few years now. He has been key contributor to maintaining a healthy lifestyle for us. Travis is punctual, easy-going, sensitive to injuries and adaptable. For those looking to maintain a healthy exercise regimen with a kind, thoughtful and engaging trainer, we highly recommend Travis. read more

I have been training with Travis for almost 2 years now. I like that our workouts are in an outdoor setting at Griffith Park. Travis is very professional, good communicator regarding our schedule, and a personable nice guy. I highly recommend Travis as a trainer. read more

Can't say enough about my experience training with Travis. I've had a hard time finding the right trainer in the past and I'm so thankful I don't ever have to look again. Not only is he really good at what he does, I had fantastic results, but he makes something I usually dread fun. You'll be hard pressed to find someone better. read more

I started training with Travis during the height of Covid, training outdoors at Griffith Park with masks. Travis uses a combination of free weights, bands, floor exercises, core work, and running/interval training. Being in the park provides a complete escape from work and stress, and the training has improved my mood, my sleep, and my waistline! Highly recommend. read more

I have been training with Travis for over a year, slight break for COVID but entirely outdoors and safe distance and loving it! Travis is laid back and enthusiastic and supportive and most importantly for me, he really listens and adapts to what I need. I had a sciatic nerve thing happen and we really refocused a lot of what we were doing to hone in on glute and hip flexors and it's been transformative. He keeps me on track and enthusiastic about coming back! read more

I have been having Travis come to my place (we have a nice gym), once a week for the last 4 months. He's been really good about working around some physical kinks I have following a car accident and the fact I haven't exercised much in a few years. It's a slow climb and he's been really good about making sure there is always progress. He's got a really kind, warm sense of humor and he's good about always pushing you for "a little more." More people need to find out about Travis ... as long as they don't take my time slot. It's funny ... I was about to post this review and I saw the question at the bottom asking if this business was good for kids. And I thought ... yes! He would be great with kids. Maybe mommy and me workouts? read more

I highly recommend Travis as a trainer! He's super supportive, encouraging, flexible with time and location, and will help you reach whatever fitness goals you have in mind. My fiancé and I have been working out together with Travis for the past six months as we're "shredding for the wedding" :) and we've seen big results with his help. As someone who normally wouldn't be inclined to work with a trainer -- having worked out with some that are too intense or intimidating -- Travis is a refreshing change. He instills invaluable confidence in you, helping you push yourself to your goals in a positive way. I've also worked with Travis when I was training for a 200-mile relay race and my basketball team, so he's very adaptable whether you're looking to lose weight, tone up, build muscle and endurance or just feel better all around. Another highlight of working out with Travis is that he conveniently comes to you, which is a huge plus with a sprawling city and busy schedules. We live on the Westside and he meets us at a beautiful park in Santa Monica near our house. Exercising outdoors in the fresh air is way better than that stuffy, smelly gym that you force yourself to go to. His routines keep things fresh and utilize hand weights and your own body weight, so you can easily do them on your own or if you travel. In addition to our workout sessions with Travis, he's designed workout routines for us to continue the progress at home. His routines are customized to your needs and he develops them as you improve, and he can adjust them based on specific goals or past injuries (which I have). Travis is also very attuned to proper body mechanics so you can avoid strain or injury. A+ all around for Training by Travis. read more

Travis is a great motivator and a great trainer. I highly recommend his services. I have been working with him for over a year and now my fiance and I both work out with him weekly. Travis has an arsenal of workout routines, is organized, always on time, and is a nice guy to boot. His "super-sets" will get the job done! I have a unpredictable work schedule and Travis has been very flexible with our workout locations and times. We've had sessions downtown, in Eagle Rock, West Hollywood and Westwood. Bottom line, if you are looking to build strength, lose some lbs or increase your flexibility, Travis is the guy for the job. read more

Travis really is the best. I have never been one to exercise, as a kid I took active measures against sports, or anything of the sort. Finally, I needed a change. I'd spent too many years not treating my body with respect. I searched for days, finding trainers that were either too far, too expensive, or simply not a good fit for me. I finally discovered Travis, and he really has changed my mentality on exercise and health. I can't recommend him enough, not just for getting your body in shape, but your habits too. I've been eating better, exercising 3-4 times a week, and it's all thanks to Trav's exercises, encouragement, flexibility, and skill as a trainer. I have made so many changes for the better, outside of exercise too. Chances are, if you're reading this, you've found the right guy. read more

Travis is the absolute BEST!!! I can't possibly recommend him enough! We've been training twice a week for almost a year and the improvements in my life have been plain for all to see. It seems like every friend I see now starts by complimenting me on how much weight I've lost. Travis is super accommodating and flexible. He travels to a park near my apartment so that I can meet him after work, and if my schedule changes at the last minute he always accommodates me. When I started training with him I hadn't touched a weight in almost 20 years. Travis devised a workout schedule just for me and has been building me up ever since. He does a great job of alternating workouts so just when you think you've got a handle on things, he brings in a new workout to challenge you even further. When you start with Travis he has you take a survey so that he knows exactly why you want to work out, and what your goals are. My goal was to lower my cholesterol to avoid going on medication. Working out with Travis for a year has already improved my numbers and I'm on track to avoid taking medication. THANK YOU TRAVIS! read more

What can I say? It's time for me to get in shape now that I have a little one on the way. Although I just started, so far, Travis is great! He's really patient and works on my level. He pushed me to dig deep and finish the exercises. Also, I'm not big on going to the gym so Travis came to my house. In the past, I would wonder why people needed a personal trainer. I now know why. Without Travis, I would probably quit halfway through. He also helps me to keep the correct form. I'm determined to get in shape and, with the help of Travis, I can get there! read more

I will admit I was very nervous about working with a trainer. I searched high and low and found Travis, and I'm so glad I did! Travis is not one of those typical meathead type trainers, nor is he the army drill instructor type who will make you feel like puking after every session. What he is is encouraging, thoughtful, well-educated, and crazy supportive of your individual fitness goals. He's also always on time and flexible with his schedule and where we meet, which for someone with my schedule, is key. He took all of my anxieties about working out with a trainer and put them to ease. His exercises are difficult and challenging in a good way, but never impossible; they're a great mix of strength training and high intensity bursts of cardio. He's informed and up to date with his info too so I don't feel like I'm in old school gym class. I've seen such a difference just in the last month and a half working with him. Already my arms are more toned and I'm beginning to see some definition in my abs! I've also lost a couple of pounds. Travis is also great about encouraging me to stay on plan even on the days I don't see him. Basically, I've gone through a body transformation since working with Travis, and it's from his wonderful mixture of physical challenges and mental/emotional support. I thought I'd dread training, but instead, I look forward to seeing him twice a week because I know we are getting that much closer to my goal. I'd highly recommend him to anyone looking to finally change their bodies and their lives! I found a gem on Yelp and am so glad I did! read more

Highly recommend Travis as your personal trainer! Over the past few years I've struggled to motivate myself or maintain any kind of consistent fitness routine. I started training with Travis last summer and it has been a game changer for me. I now workout around my work and kids' schedules and have been able to develop a consistent weekly workout routine right in my own backyard. Travis is super motivating, friendly, and super easy to talk to. He instructs workout routines that have been highly effective and he always comes prepared to mix it up and add in new challenges. In just a few months I have more than doubled the amount of weight I can lift and have enjoyed the focus on weight training and core strength. I always leave our sessions feeling good about myself and motivated for the day. Looking forward to continuing to work with Travis and would highly recommend him to help you reach your fitness goals and for your personal training needs. read more

Travis is a great personal trainer! He takes the time to test my limits and pushes me to go beyond them, without ever coming across as mean or harsh. He comes to the gym where I live and is super flexible with my available time. As someone who has never been athletic, I can feel myself getting stronger and am surprised when my performance exceeds my own expectations. Travis even sends me text messages to remind me to hit the gym and drink water on our off days. The personal attention he shows makes me feel like he really cares about my progress and is here for me! read more

six stars if i could! travis has been whipping me into shape for the past few months. the sessions have been a perfect combo of fun, friendly, and motivating but not overly drill sergeant intense. this dude rules. read more

I can't recommend Travis enough! If you don't belong to a gym and want the convenience of working out in the park, your home gym or even your living room - Travis is your guy. He's an amazing trainer and extremely knowledgeable about kinesiology and working around injuries. Travis keeps the workouts fun and challenging. He's also really easy to talk to so the sessions are never boring. Every session he came up with new exercises and always asked for feedback if there were certain things I didn't enjoy or conversely things I liked and wanted more of. We worked out in the park which was a nice departure from being at a gym, having to wait for machines and such. I started with a meniscus tear in both knees and after 10 sessions my knee pain was almost gone and I was able to jump for the first time in a long time. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for Training by Travis! read more

I've had several different trainers throughout my life, but Travis is the first one I don't cringe at the thought of working out with! Not only is he affordable for the long haul, but he's got a great disposition. He's extremely kind, knowledgeable about physiology and he'll make you laugh as opposed to cry. In fact, our sessions together are my favorite touchstones of the week! They've also gotten me back into nature on a regular basis, and that's been excellent for my mental health as well. In a short period of time, my fitness level has improved dramatically. I was worried that the weight training would make me bulk up or re-injure a recent shoulder injury, but in fact I've started losing weight while getting stronger in my back so I'm having less pain! He also takes measurements at the beginning so you can see first hand what's changing in your body in case the scale isn't telling you quick enough. I feel so much less stress now that Travis is taking care of my workouts and tracking the amount of weight/reps I do so I don't have to focus on a thing except how good my body feels. If you're looking for a great trainer who isn't going to make you hate your workouts, I highly recommend Travis! read more

I highly recommend Travis! He has been so helpful in my "reclaming my body" process. He's sweet and patient while also knowing how to push me in an encouraging way. He keeps the sessions fun and kicks my ass every time. Do yourself a favor and invest in this trainer! read more

My wife and I asked Travis to come out to a new outdoor gym and put training plans together for each of us. We couldn't be happier! Travis is super knowledgeable & fun, and he really custom-tailored everything around what we were asking for. He's as efficient and reliable as you could only hope for, and he encouraged us to email him if anything comes up after going through the routine a couple of times, in case we'd need adjustments. Really, really great! read more

Travis provides a positive, encouraging training environment and helped me push myself to my limits. He came to our location and can scale the workout to individual capabilities (I had a workout partner in better condition than me, but we both got a great workout that fit our levels). Loved the variation in circuits too. Highly recommended. read more

I've been working with Trainer Trav at least 2 times a week for last 7 months. He's very flexible about schedule. We meet in Griffith Park at 7am most mornings and it's such a better experience than working out in a crowded, sweaty gym. He also designed workouts for me to do at home and while on vacation for no extra charge, which have been very helpful. Travis isn't the stereotypical meathead trainer who yells you. He's very chill and uses positive reinforcement to help motivate. I also receive exactly 1 high-five from him at the end of each workout. My goals going in were to lose weight, strengthen my core and build more muscle definition. I've lost 20 lbs and my wife has noticed my body transforming. I hope to lean-out more in the next six months, but that's a matter of me not drinking so much beer and avoiding birthday cake at office parties. Trainer Trav is great at what he does, but he's not a magician. read more

I've been training with Travis for about eight months. I am significantly stronger and my recovery time is much faster. Travis is a really nice guy, as well. His workouts are challenging, but he is supportive and he makes the time pass quickly with his positive attitude. He is professional and flexible, as well. I would recommend his training sessions to anyone! You will start feeling better very soon. read more

Travis is extremely professional and each time he trains my husband and me, he comes completely prepared and ready to give us an incredible work-out. We work out in a public park, and he is very good about getting there early, reserving a spot for us and keeping a varied and intense level going for the entire hour. His calm manner is much-appreciated (I don't want to be yelled at when working out!) and he is also full of encouragement, getting us to do an extra rep or so when he thinks we can do it. He has been great about building up our strength over time (adds 10 seconds to plank, or extra reps each week so we see results). He is very knowledgeable about anatomy and how muscles work, and is very in-tune with how fitness goals can be different for men and women. I highly recommend him! read more

I was apprehensive about getting a trainer as I didn't want to be yelled at but I did need motivation to get back in shape. I found that motivation from Travis who meets my husband and I in a park twice a week in Santa Monica. He is not only a great guy, he is also really knowledgeable about how the body works and after each session I feel like I have worked really hard and am looking forward to the next one. He changes things up regularly which keeps things interesting. And he is also really organized about confirming appointments and motivating us to get to the gym in between sessions. I am slowly but surely getting back in shape and have way more energy than before. I highly recommend Travis! read more
