Meeting Brittney and having her as my personal trainer was the best decision I had ever made and it changed my life! February 2016 I was 37, weighed 410 pounds and diagnosed with diabetes, sleep apnea, and edema in the legs. I had lower back pain for some time and couldn't stand past 30 minutes & had other complications that come with being very heavy and unhealthy. I'd run out of breath when I walked up 2 flights of stairs to get to my condo and I'd carry a handkerchief all the time as I would sweat profusely anywhere I'd go. I didn't have any energy and was always tired, too tired to play with my 4 and 6 year olds and to take them out. My comfort zone was eating junk food, my couch and my TV. My shirts were 4XL and pants were a size 50. I was too big to fit in a coach seat on a plane so I'd get first class and request a seat belt extension. At this time, my Dr. had told me if I changed my lifestyle with proper nutrition and exercise, I could reverse my diabetes and sleep well without the use of machines; the CPAP machine was uncomfortable and intolerable and didn't help me sleep any better on the first and only night that I tried it. I decided I needed help from a personal trainer. I met with Brittney and I was so impressed by how knowledgeable she was in both fitness and nutrition and how she understood my situation. She explained what we would be doing & why and she would provide meal plans to follow that were in conjunction with the workouts we would be doing. We started training right away and to this day we have not stopped nor do I ever plan on stopping! Thanks to Brittney, I've lost 187lbs and now weigh 223 pounds (see before & after pic). At 39, I'm 100% diabetes free and off meds, sleep apnea is gone and I can fly coach without the need of a seat belt extension! My shirts are L, pants are down to size 36 and we are still going! Lower back pain and complications are all gone and I'm the healthiest I've ever been. Getting tired climbing stairs is a thing of the past now and never thought I would love running and doing cardio. We are still constantly getting amazing gains and results. We are overcoming goals and setting new goals and I couldn't be happier! Brittney is just an amazing person and great to work with. There's no such thing as routine with her. She's always changing it up, raising the intensity and pushing. She's always teaching and reminding how to do movements and lift weights the right way so you don't hurt yourself but most importantly, so you get the best results out of them and it just blows me away! The meals themselves are so delicious and she constantly changes them so I can try new foods and get ideas myself. She also recommended the proper vitamins and supplementation that are fantastic. She tracks everything from the workouts, nutrition, amount of weights, sets, reps you name it and she always has a plan ready for the next session. The most important thing about Brittney is she cares, she doesn't stop after the session is over. She checks in to see how you're doing & feeling and makes recommendations. She changed my life and I'm forever grateful! Thanks Brittney!! read more

I've been working with Brittney for the past few months and it has been the most powerful, liberating, transformative time period of my entire life. I can honestly say she is the best personal trainer. I've struggled with weight issues since I was a child; at my heaviest I was 180 lbs during my adolescent years, and eventually got to my thinnest at 130 lbs as a teen. This pattern of yo-yo dieting followed me throughout high school and college, and has since been the cause of much frustration and confusion about my body; I had no idea how to eat healthy or figure out what makes my body function optimally. I also was never really a fan of intense exercise. Brittney has helped me with all of this. I came to her at 148 lbs and she has helped me lose over 20 lbs (and counting) over the course of 5 months and keep it off (which in my opinion, is the hardest part). She has not only helped me to reach all of my personal fitness goals, including building a nice butt and building the stamina to be able to run on hikes, (and made it super fun while doing so), but also has inspired me to create new goals constantly. I now plan on training for a triathlon in the near future. And all of this is just the physical aspect of her training. Brittney knows SO MUCH about food and nutrition, which has always been my downfall. As I mentioned, I have always struggled with this, so being able to have someone to guide and teach me about my individual dietary needs has been so incredible and extremely beneficial. I now know what foods my body thrives on, and which ones it does not need. I now have the knowledge to be able to lose or maintain weight for the rest of my life, and that is priceless. Brittney is so good at what she does, and there's a reason for that-passion. She is super passionate about her work and her clients. You can tell that everything she does, she does with so much fire; you can't help but feel that way too whenever you're around her. She goes above and beyond the typical "trainer", as well. She has taken a range of science-based nutrition classes at UCLA in addition to her multiple certifications for personal training. She is more than a trainer- she is a mentor, a life coach, a wonderful, amazing friend who needs to be in your life. And while I've learned so much about fitness and nutrition, reached and broke through my goal weight, gained muscle and curves in all the right places through Brittney, the most invaluable thing I've learned from her is the importance of inner strength. She has helped me to cultivate an inner power and confidence without even realizing it. Every session empowered me and inspired me to be better in all aspects of my life. This has been the best investment I've ever made, hands down. There is nothing more important in life than being healthy and happy, and Brittney has allowed me to achieve this. Ultimately, Brittney has changed my life in more ways than I can count and I can't thank her enough. read more

The only regret which I have after I started to train with Larry, is that I did not discover his services even earlier... I have been going though various types of training with him - weight training to gain some more muscle as well as variety of cardio sessions to shake off the fat. Larry ensures that an individual approach is applied to your case, and that it all works towards your personal goals and considering in which condition you are at the moment. For example I have been dislocating my shoulder a couple of times in the past while snowboarding, so I was not comfortable performing some weight lifting exercises (specifically shoulder-related) fearing the injury. Thanks to Larry I feel much more confident with what I would not even attempt to do before, not to mention I feel better now dealing with heavier weights, which is important for successful workout. What I especially appreciate is that while training with Larry I also have a chance to get more educated about variety of exercises and nutrition practices, which in turn motivates me even more, because I like when I understand how things work as opposed to blindly follow checklists. I also enjoyed that his nutrition and training guidelines do not get over complicated, but instead they are rather practical and easy to follow. He definitely wants you to preform your best and pushes you to your maximums to ensure quality results! read more

I highly reccomend Larry Cook as a personal trainer. I'm a professional dancer, choreographer and fitness instructor and wanted to tone my body up and loose fat. I wanted a new image and wanted to increase my chances of getting callbacks at auditions. I have a very busy schedule and I'm tired the majority of the time. Therefore, I knew I wouldn't go to the gym and eat right if I didn't have someone who would hold me accountable for my eating habits and push me to workout (especially when I'd rather sleep in on an early morning!). Thus, with this motivation in mind I started my search for a personal trainer. My first step in finding a personal trainer was "googling," personal trainers in Woodland Hills. Lo be hold he came up highly reccomended. I called him, had a meeting, started his program and lost 39 pounds with his guidance and encouragement. It was an amazing experience and helped me not just loose weight but also learn about nutrition. It's been a lifestyle change and I've been able to continue with the structure he introduced me to in regards to cardio, weight lifting and healthy eating. It's been a great journey and I reccomend him to anyone who has similar fitness goals or works in the arts! read more

I have been working out with Larry for almost 2 years. I have had trainers before but he is the only one I felt had a true mastery of his craft. His Knowledge of exercise and nutrition is beyond impressive. Previous to meeting Larry I would have considered myself advanced in the gym with 10 + years of experience, but even so, I learned far more with Larry in a relatively short amount of time than I had a decade before. Larry is all about the form, not the amount of weight. He breaks down the exercises into small movements while making sure posture and form are perfect to maximize effectiveness. He'll kick your butt with half amount of weight you think you can do. The toughest part for me out of everything was nutrition. If I can give one key piece of advice it would be.. Follow every bit of instruction he gives to a T. Don't think you can cheat a little here.. a little there.. and still get the results. It will literally sabotage all the effort you put to your workouts. I could go on and on about exercise and diet.. but the best thing I got out of my time with Larry was a friend. read more

Larry Cook is a terrific trainer. He has the ability to ask the right questions in order to glean exactly what I needed in a training session. He is an expert in kinesiology, anatomy, and physiology along with different training methodologies. Larry comes to each training session with a personalized program just for me, that being said he can also modify that session if I am injured. He has worked with me to be able to continue to train while healing previous injuries. Larry listens and communicates exactly what is needed to make my performance the best it can be. He motivates and inspires me to continue my training. He works with me daily to achieve my nutrition and dieting goals. He also understands that we are all human and that we need to enjoy living while working towards being healthy and strong. He wants only the best for all of his clients. I feel lucky to have found such an amazing trainer. read more

I was always one of those people that laughed at the tv commercials that showed before and after pictures of people after 1 month of training. Lots of people point at the tv and go "hey who photoshoped that person? thats a really good job!" All my life I was in pretty good shape, but after a series of injuries that kept me from being active I gained 35 pounds of fat. I never thought about getting a personal trainer before, but once i couldn't get in shape and didnt know how to get the body I wanted; I went looking for Larry. Larry Cook put me on a diet and gym 3 times a week. I kid you not, in 1 month i lost 30 pounds of fat. He took before and after pictures, I couldnt believe! I STILL see Larry 2 to 3 times a week and its the best investment I could have ever made for myself. read more

I was noticing that I put on a little extra weight, and needed the extra push to get back into shape and motivated. I'm glad that I went to Larry as my personal trainer. In an 8 week time frame, between dieting and his exercise program, I lost 20 pounds (170 lbs to 150lbs) and over 7% body fat. I had muscles, abs, and was very toned and defined. He took the time to do weekly checks to ensure that progress was being made, and made changes on the regimen based on the results. He's not only the best trainer I've had, he makes the time go by quickly by being friendly, personable, and an all around caring, great guy. Highly recommend that Larry has given me the tools to succeed and I'm very happy with the knowledge and results. read more

Larry is a master at what he does. If you follow Larry's custom tailored diet plan, and put in some hard work, you will get results! Your diet is 80% of the game, so I find it very helpful that Larry takes the time to help you figure out what works best for you! I have been training with Larry for years now, and have made improvements and gains in many ways. I am stronger, have more muscle mass, and eat much better than I used to. Larry cares about his clients, and loves what he does. If you aren't getting the results you're after, he will make sure to change up whatever is necessary to get you where you want to be. Sign up with Larry and give it a chance, you'll be glad you did! read more

I've been training with Larry for a little over a year now. When I started I was around 18% body fat. Had quite a large belly, no abs, no arms, and no chest. 6 months into my program, I was 6.93% body fat with a killer 6 pack, chest, arms, and a great back! Larry has always made me feel as if I was his only client. He never rushed my sessions and always stayed on top of my progress. I've had several trainers in the past, but without the results. Larry is by far, the best and most knowledgeable trainer Ive ever used. He also is very knowledgeable on the proper ways to diet which is a key factor in changing your physique. Thank you Larry for changing my body and my life. read more

THE BEST Larry Cook quite simply gave me my body back. At 52 years of age I had made concessions and plainly accepted that this was the body I would have for the rest of my life. Larry's knowledge of the muscular skeletal system and how to train it was transformative for me. His understanding of diet and nutrition and the role it plays in my health, training and well being greatly added to my success. And he is just a great guy, a great trainer and a great friend. And I have a whole new possibility when it comes to my body mind and spirit. I find myself often silently thanking him for his contribution. The best. read more

Larry rocks! He transformed my Dad-Bod in only 2 months, and got me back to my College body in that short period of time. Hes a great trainer in, and out of the gym. He actually sincerely cares about you, and focuses on your individual goals. He's taught me so much about exercise, but he's also schooled me about overall health, diet, nutrition, etc. I can honestly say he's taught me things that will be beneficial to me and my health, for the rest of my life. Im looking forward to continue to train with him in the near future, and recommend him to anyone looking to get rid of their dad-bods! (or mom-bods.) read more

Larry Cook is the best there is! I have been competitively bodybuilding for the past 2 years. I have worked with two other personal trainers to help me reach my weight loss and muscle gain goals. But it is really in the past 7 months working with Larry that i have learned the most about muscle gain and fat loss. When it comes to Nutrition i do not know someone who is more knowledgeable then Larry. I have surpassed all the goals i set for myself under his training. If youd like to reach that weight loss or muscle gain goal you set for yourself Larry is the man that can really show you the way read more

NOT JUST A TRAINER! Larry is more like a life coach. I have been with Larry for over 2 years, I initially acquired his services due to two bulging disks in my back and the immediate to get in shape and move towards having a paid free back. I have not back pain since then, he helped me lose 20 lbs in a very short amount time. But the reason I've stayed with Larry this long is the fact that he's a life coach. He has helped me deal every single one of my bad habits, eating bad, being lazy, not being motivated to do things and so on. He is simply the best, the VERY BEST. read more
