I'm at a pivotal age…read morewhere I needed to either fix the problem or prepare for invasive medical intervention down the road. Cheri came highly recommended and it was clear from our first session that she really takes the time to figure out and understand what my body was doing and why I was experience the pain that I was feeling. She took the time to evaluate how my whole body was moving and identified several body mechanic and movement issues that were contributing to the problem. We started off with basic exercises that set the stage for more complex ones as I progressed. HealthFit has systems in place to make sure that when you're at home doing your exercises, you have video references with detailed explanations on how to do each exercise properly. After each week, little by little, things started to change. And then there came that moment when everything clicked and started to change! I've noticed a huge improvement not only in pain reduction, but also in my overall stability, balance, and strength. Cheri has given me the tools to break my body's bad habits. I highly recommend working with Cheri to anyone dealing with chronic pain, movement issues, or sports-related injuries. Cheri is thoughtful, knowledgeable and genuinely cares about helping her patients improve long term.

The personalized service and extended one-on-one time are absolutely worth it if you care about your joints, muscles, and long-term recovery. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the wonderful front office staff, Feliza and Britt. They make you feel right at home, and I always enjoy chatting with them and hearing what's going on in their young lives. And now for my knowledgeable, kind PT, Dr. Daphne Tan. She has treated me for several injuries, including my shoulder, elbow, and lower back. She has also treated me post-surgically, and I always leave our sessions feeling better than when I came in. She is motivating, attentive, and really takes the time to correct my form during exercises so I'm doing everything properly. I am not sharing my time with 2 other patients. I'm very glad I found HealthFit. It is well worth it compared to a larger corporate/hospital based PT clinic where your therapist may spend more time documenting than actually monitoring your movement and progress. HealthFit provides the kind of personalized care that makes a real difference.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about Dr. Loc?…read more In one sentence... He is a living healer. Yes, he's far and yes he's expensive but in ONE visit he fixed my shoulder pain. In the second visit he freed up my ribs from tightness caused by double mastectomy scar tissue. I couldn't breathe properly for years. Two visits. Yes I did weekly physical therapy, weekly massages, acupuncture, Rolfing, sauna, cold plunge, PEMF mat, hyperbaric oxygen, I honestly could keep going but you get the point. If you're considering making the drive and investment do it.

I never find myself writing reviews for anything, but I think I owe it to anyone looking to get out…read moreof pain, perform better in their sport, or just recover from an injury or surgery to share the experience that I, and four others, had after seeing Dr. Locatelli Rao in Pasadena. TLDR: He has been able to help each of us after we all were separately convinced that we had seen "all of the best" PTs/therapists/healers in California, Minnesota and Vancouver. I found him while I was training for an Ironman a couple of years ago. I had experienced a number of injuries while training that were starting to slow me down. Not only did those injuries resolve, but in later appointments with him I was able to fix my chronic shoulder/neck and low back pain that I had been living with for the last 15 years after injuries/surgeries from playing high school football and baseball. I can't put a price on what this has done for my quality of life as someone who values taking care of my health and fitness. Since then I have sent my parents, girlfriend and one of my friends to him and we have all had the same experience. Parents: Dad (ankle) Mom (meniscus) - - both of them are now pain free after they had been living in pain for the past two decades after each of their injuries. One of my best friends experienced a near-death skydiving accident. Broke 4 cervical vertebrae and tore his acetabular labrum (hip labrum) and had seen 12+ specialists to try to get out of pain and regain his mobility he had lost after being in a neck brace for 4 months. He was told that all of those specialists were the best in their fields/techniques but he only saw either marginal improvement (if any) or temporary improvement/relieve with them. After one appointment with Dr. Loc he regained most of the functionality of his left hip and is excited to go back and address his neck pain with Dr. Loc. For the first time in half a decade he is feeling confident that there is actually a path out of pain for him. My girlfriend had low back pain throughout her life as long as she can remember. After a single appointment with Dr. Loc she has not experienced anywhere near the intensity/frequency of pain that she was experiencing prior. Even a day of sitting too long at her desk chair would have her at 6/10 pain and now the worst she experiences is a 1.5-2/10 after heavy lifting/long hikes. (follow him on Instagram and you'll see dozens of case studies and other examples of this happening for other people as well) Put simply: We all call him a wizard and he is the now the first person we are all recommending other people go and see when they're dealing with any sort of pain. It's a long drive for me to go and see him, but I'd make the trip if it were 10x longer.

You truly do feel better afterwards. Highly recommended!

These are group classes, 8 people max, and you all do the same set of exercises but each at their own pace/intensity. People aged late 30's to 70's. Everyone there trying to help themselves and each other. The trainers breakdown all the exercises so that you learn them well and don't injure yourself while still pushing to get better. You start by stretching/warming up, then do a compound weight lifting exercise (depends on the day it may be squats, dead lifts, or overhead press). Then do some body weight exercises and then some cardio. Definitely love going here.

How do you know if your body is silently breaking down if you never get a proper diagnosis? Through…read moreDr. Benjamin Yu, I was able to see exactly where my weak points were--and more importantly, the 'why' behind them. It was a classic case of: 'I didn't know I needed therapy until I got therapy.' ​I booked an evaluation not because of an injury, but as preventive maintenance for my physical well-being. It's the same logic I use for my car: you don't wait for the engine to fail before you take it in for service. A standard annual physical checks your internal chemistry, but it doesn't check the health of your skeletal architecture. If you want to live a long life without a wheelchair or chronic pain, this is the missing piece. It's just science. ​Dr. Benjamin listens with extreme patience. After just watching me walk, he could tell me exactly what I needed to work on. He didn't just explain the root cause of my back pain (the classic millennial struggle); he explained the chain reaction behind it using simple analogies and actionable steps. He treats the cause, not just the effect. ​Since the exercises are all bodyweight-based, I can do them anywhere--at home or while traveling. Before this, I didn't realize my back was aching simply because it was compensating for my hamstrings. I've moved away from the linear mindset of 'stretch what hurts' to a deeper focus on strengthening the right muscles for longevity and performance. It's about unlearning a lifetime of bad habits and replacing them with proper form. ​This has completely changed how I approach my training. I've stopped relying on 'primal intuition'--doing whatever it takes to finish a movement--and started using the muscle groups that were born to do that work. Instead of burning out my strongest muscles, I'm finally using the whole system. ​Be who you were designed to be. I don't know why this isn't a routine checkup for everyone yet, but I am sure it will be once we start to value our bodies as much as our technology.
