I randomly picked Virtuo for a first time personal training session based on great reviews and location. Turns out it was the right decision. You can feel right away that it's a gym where everyone is welcomed. All body types. All ages. No egos. What continues to surprise me is the knowledge that the trainers have. Nick has an educated response to all of my random questions, and continues to motivate and encourage me on my journey. It's a great feeling knowing what the exercises are doing for you and how to do them correctly. I look forward to every visit to Virtuo and seeing more and more results! read more

Best decision we made for our fitness journey! As one of the greatest quotes I've heard goes: "Day one or one day" and we chose day one. My partner and I signed up together to work out at Virtuo, it's been an amazing experience so far. From the very beginning, Brandon (the owner) was super attentive and really took the time to understand what we needed as a couple training together. Great energy and very professional. And can we talk about our trainer?! Huge, huge shoutout to Wolf! He's the best. Super attentive, crazy knowledgeable, and somehow makes working out actually fun. We train with him twice a week, and we genuinely look forward to every single session. Like, we wake up excited to work out. That's never happened before If you're thinking about signing up somewhere go to Virtuo and ask for Wolf. You won't regret it! read more

Had a great experience with Virtuo Personal Training. Sarita and Jonathan were awesome--super supportive, helped dial in my lifting technique, and gave really helpful guidance on nutrition outside the gym too. Strong focus on mobility which helps me with injury prevention. Overall, it helped me establish a framework for my whole fitness routine. read more

My experience with Virtuo has been great! I am 66 years old and the trainers make sure my form is great and make modifications when my knees or back are barking at me. They are very supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend! read more

As a recently retired nurse I am ready to get into a fitness routine that will help keep me active, increase my strength and balance. Losing some weight would not hurt either. After trying a few other personal trainers I have finally found my "space"! The staff are very knowledgeable, listen and are able to make modifications for any old injuries or joint problems you might have. They bring great energy and now it feels like I GET to workout instead of I HAVE to work out. I definitely recommend that you give them a try!! read more

Training at Virtuo with Alexis has completely changed my relationship with working out. I used to think I would never be disciplined enough to make it a habit. But she's helped me build consistency, confidence, and a genuine habit of showing up for myself. Every workout is challenging but always feels achievable, and I leave each session feeling stronger and accomplished. read more

Virtuo has been a big help to me getting back into shape after a long layoff. I love my trainer Nick Myhre -- really knowledgeable and a great vibe! I am in a small class group and somehow he manages to work individually with everyone. In my case I'm 74 so it's a real credit to Nick that I feel right at home at Virtuo. It's been a really positive experience! read more

Two years later, and I'm back with an update--in case it's useful to see what the story looks like after the initial euphoria wears off. Short version: the euphoria is increasing. I'm still nowhere near a 'gym rat,' and yet I've now averaged two sessions a week here since fall 2023--and I'm genuinely eager to keep that streak going... indefinitely. What's notable is that the vibe I caught early on, and really appreciated, has not denatured in the slightest. It's still the same thoughtful, client-centric attention and sane, personalized training routine, day in and day out. Same emphasis on form, progression, and not manufacturing credibility artificially. These guys don't chase fads or Instagram nonsense; they're truly committed to sustainable strength training and real results. I'm still training with Jonny, and I'm torn. On the one hand, he's outstanding and deserves every bit of praise. On the other hand, I don't want you people ruining my life by overbooking him and taking over my gym. (It's mine.) So yes--Jonny is fantastic. You should absolutely find someone like him. But maybe find your own person? You should totally sign up here because it's literally the best, but also stay away? Feel me? Kidding aside, Jonny is calm, attentive, deeply dialed in, and one of the coolest humans around. Sessions are intentional from start to finish--no distractions, no phoning it in, no wasted time. He's exceptional at finding that narrow band where the work is hard but never demoralizing. I always leave feeling perfectly challenged, perfectly spent, and--somehow--looking forward to the next session. (Did I just write those words?) Virtuo Fitness is a total class act across the board. Amazing crew, great setup, amazing clients(!), and a truly peerless class of professional-but-chill trainers. Could not recommend more sincerely. read more

Brandon's intake process was thorough and he assessed my goals and challenges completely. Sarita has been my trainer and she has pushed gently but firmly and I've seen great results in my strength and balance. A fantastic group of trainers and great facility. Highly recommended!! read more

Hands down the best fitness experience I've ever had! Virtuo Fitness is so much more than a gym. It's a place where you grow physically, mentally, and even professionally. Brandon was incredible -- our coaching calls kept me on track not just with my workouts, but with my personal goals and even my business. He supported me through real life changes and truly cared about my progress. Jonathan, the personal trainer, was also amazing -- super friendly, patient, and encouraging. He made me feel confident and capable every step of the way. If you're looking for a fitness program that actually transforms your life, this is it. Virtuo Fitness goes above and beyond! read more

All of the trainers are amazing, facilities are clean and nice, and overall vibes are great! Couldn't recommend enough!

I've been at Virtuo for about 5 months as of this review. When searching for a new gym I put quite an investment into researching before I joined. From first contact, Brandon (the business owner) approached my interest in joining with care and seriousness, listened to my goals and experience then paired me with just the perfect trainer for me, Sarita. I've had gains in strength & fitness above my expectation working with Sarita & Virtuo. It feels almost effortless (even though I know I'm working hard). The vibe is upbeat and the approach is so personal, I think it would be really hard to replicate anywhere else. I'm challenged yet comfortable & can't wait to see how much I can achieve. My sessions at Virtuo are always a peak moment in my week. read more

I've been training with Virtuo for some months now, and they've been great. All of the trainers are not only skilled but also genuinely warm people, which makes the experience really enjoyable. Brandon, the owner, is very responsive and clearly cares about his clients. I recommend trying out a few trainers to find the right fit. I ended up working with Keith as my coach, and he's absolutely fantastic! I've worked with many trainers before, but Keith brings a unique clarity to movements that really helps me understand proper form. He always follows up on what I do outside our sessions, is very goal-oriented, and keeps me motivated. His suggestions for managing diet have also been incredibly helpful. And I am already seeing results. I highly recommend Keith and the rest of the trainers at Virtuo. read more

Update 1/21: still going strong at Virtuo. I recently fell off the wagon and the team was really helpful with welcoming me back and getting me back into the rhythm of things. I really appreciate the team and highly recommend this gym if you need results and accountability. I've been going here since June 2023 and have made huge improvements to my everyday life. Sarita is a phenomenal trainer and really pays attention to your feedback to tailor a program that you can consistently make progress in. Would highly recommend. read more

I've been at Virtuo for the past year and it's been such a good investment for my health and well-being. I've gotten a better control on eating habits, weight, and exercise routine. My trainer Keith has been very attentive to my injuries and tailors my programming to focus on keeping me pain free while building strength. I also love having a space to keep me accountable. I plan most of my meals with Keith, and he's always sharing ideas and knowledge on what works best both inside and outside the gym. We've built a solid foundation on recipes, exercises and stretches that have really helped me get to a better place in my fitness journey. So grateful to have them in my fitness journey. read more

This neighborhood training gym is a true gem! They offer both personal training and small-group sessions (with just 3-4 people per trainer), giving you the perfect balance of individualized attention and group motivation. I've had training sessions with Jonathan, Sarita and Derrick and all 3 of them are authentic, down to earth, and genuinely invested in my success, ensuring every workout is effective, safe and tailored. Beyond workouts, they also provide nutrition counseling and Brandon, the owner has been an incredible mentor. If you're looking for an intimate welcoming environment where everybody knows your name and where you'll be supported by knowledgeable, friendly trainers, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!" read more

I've been working with Brandon for over 5 years and I'm so thrilled with my progress! He's been with me every step of the way. He's so great at coming up with programs that work with your lifestyle. His communication and listening is amazing. He frequently checks in to make sure the programming is working for me and if anything needs changing he always on top of it. He is a wealth of knowledge and does a great job at taking the time to explain things in an easy to digest way. When I've traveled, he's been invaluable at coming up with a game plan to protect my gains while still giving me the room to have fun. I highly recommend Virtuo! read more

Virtuo has been really great so far. The onboarding process was super smooth. Everything was clearly explained and I felt supported from the start. I've been training with Jonathon and he's exactly the kind of coach I was looking for. He pushes me to get stronger without ever making it feel intimidating. It's always encouraging and never judgmental. The overall vibe at Virtuo is just good energy. No drama, no ego, just people working hard and cheering each other on. If you're looking for a place to build strength and confidence in a positive environment, I highly recommend giving them a try. read more

Got some personal training here a few years back and it was super transformative. Keith was amazing, and the other trainers were super cool when we would chat. Would train here again, very high quality and personalized. read more

Virtuo is great! Sarita has been working with me and my nutrition. I've learned so much about healthy nutritional food. I've lost over 15lbs in the 5 months I've been working with her. read more

I have been working out with Brandon for 8 months and cannot imagine going to another gym. My muscle mass has significantly increased, and I enjoy my sessions. All of the trainers are so knowledgeable and really assess the needs of their clients. My only negative is that Virtuo is so far from my house. read more

I've been working out at Virtuo for several years. Brandon and his staff are amazing! Everyone is knowledgeable and caring. Workouts are fun and challenging! I've personally started lifting more weight than I ever thought possible. If you're looking for a great gym with individual training or group classes, this is the place for you. read more

Virtuo Personal Training - Trainers Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I love this gym. I have been going to various types of gyms (ie crunch, 24hr fitness, equinox etc) for over 20 years and truly and this has been the best experience and the best results. I have been going for the past year for strength training and Sarita is the best (because she is my trainer LOL) but honestly all of the trainers here are equally amazing. The experience is personalized and cuts out all of the extra unnecessary foo foo la la and gets down to helping you get strong and healthy. If you are looking to join a gym look no further this is the place to go if you like a personalized welcoming experience. read more

This is a 5-star review but it's really deserving of 20 stars in my opinion. :) I recently relocated from a 12-year tenure in NYC and now live in the WeHo area. The biggest highlight of moving to LA so far has been walking past the beautiful Virtuo gym, meeting Brandon the incredible founder of Virtuo, who onboarded me as a new client two months ago. Best decision I have seriously made !! I have historically avoided gyms which were always intimidating environments for me to be in. Never felt comfortable or motivated - clearly just had not yet found the right one, until now. Brandon and his team welcomed me with a comprehensive consultation regarding the gym facilities, team, services on offer where we discussed my goals, lifestyle, nutrition and beyond. A super insightful and beneficial 1:1 to align w the right training program for my needs. Now, I train 2x a week (group training). Special S/O to Derrick, Nick, and Sarita for all their immense hard work, knowledge, motivation and patience. My posture and form in exercises I could never previously even attempt are improving significantly week by week as well as my confidence and overall well-being. The huge upgrade in my lifestyle has been very palpable all thanks to this dream team. The community Brandon and his team have built is the type of comradery I only wish to see more of in the fitness space. A very welcoming home from home. Brandon, all the coaches, and clients have made Virtuo a gym I feel safe, comfortable and always look forward to. Super thankful for everyone's encouragement and I'm excited for Virtuo to be a permanent and important staple in my life and new-found fitness journey. Thank you team Virtuo - you really are the best!! read more

Brandon was a great coach.. always available and approachable for my basic work out questions. He Kept me motivated too. I would recommend him! Thanks for everything Brandon! read more

It's been over a year and I still love going to Virtuo! They've made it such a fun community, especially with the group sessions. We've all become friends in the 6am morning classes and these group sessions with Sarita help challenge me to do better and lift heavier. Sarita still gives you personalized coaching and guidance even in a group class. She's always encouraging us to lift heavier and pushes you when you need it. I would highly recommend joining Virtuo if you're looking for a fun and welcoming place to workout! read more

I did a lot of research before joining a gym in Los Angeles, and I'm so glad I ended up at Virtuo. Here are the reasons why (list not exhaustive): 1. I have never been a gym or sports person -- I was the type to walk the mile in PE class. So I didn't really have the foundational knowledge (nor the confidence) to work out by myself or in a big group class. Virtuo has been a phenomenal place to learn this stuff from scratch. It's much more private than most gyms and the trainers are very knowledgeable, encouraging, and nonjudgmental. 2. You know how in LA, a lot of "trainers" are actually just aspiring actors/models? That's not the case here. The trainers at Virtuo are career trainers with real expertise. Because I have arthritis and a leg length discrepancy and bad knees, this has been so crucial for me. Brandon has been careful to choose exercises that don't cause me any joint pain, and even better, exercises that have helped improve my balance A LOT. 3. Virtuo is not a miserable boot camp type environment. The trainers definitely push me beyond my own perceived limitations and comfort zone, but in an manageable way where I've been able to make steady progress. Brandon is especially great at distracting me with jokes and interesting conversation which make those 30 second mountain climber reps go by much faster. If you're looking for a "scene" kind of gym like Equinox, this might not be the best fit for you. But if you want help from experts to improve your workouts and achieve consistent (and pretty fast) results, Virtuo is a fantastic choice and worth every penny. read more

When I found Virtuo, I was looking for a private training to build muscle and work on my balance since I have one leg shorter 1 centimeter plus my L5 collapsed, I needed someone very knowledgeable. After my interview with Brandon I know this was the right place for me since their workout routine is based on physical therapy. Brandon Introduced me to Keith and he has being amazing, he takes care not only on my posture and form to be perfect, he takes cares about every aspect of my health and giving me the right coaching on my nutrition as well. Im so happy I decided to join Virtuo everyone is very friendly and the vibe is very positive, it feels like being with friends and family. read more

Working with Coach Brandon, the muscle wizard, has been one of the most beneficial actions l've taken over the last year. As a physical therapist, it can sometimes feel like I never leave the clinic when it comes to coming. up with my own workouts. With Brandon's collaboration & guidance, I've been pushed & challenged in the most positive way, putting the joy back into my workouts. Brandon & his team have been a collective voice of strength, encouragement, and guidance on the road to improved health. Brandon has taken the complicated out of nutrition & fitness, making my health goals more achievable. He is honestly one of the best trainers l've ever worked with. He takes the time to truly listen to your needs, concerns, and reflects them back to you to check for understanding - a lost art in today's busy world. I've lost weight, improved my endurance, gained more strength than I ever thought possible, but most importantly, gained a renewed confidence in myself. If you're looking to super charge your health, Virtuo is the place to do it! Thank you, Virtuo team! read more

I've had the pleasure of having Eric as my trainer. I can't stress how knowledgeable, energetic, compassion, caring person he is. He truly cares about his clients personally and professionally. Not to mention, he is so much fun and funny. He makes any training session a positive experience. If you're unsure of moving forward, it doesn't hurt to try it out first. But, I guarantee you that you will be in good hands. read more

The past year at Virtuo gym has been transformative. At this special time of the year, I want to give thanks to Keith, my coach, Brandon the owner, and the other trainers and clients who have made me feel so welcome. Keith knew what I needed to build strength, balance and confidence. With his encouragement and guidance, my progress was steady and deeply rewarding. I look forward to continuing my fitness journey with hope and pride. Having been a couch potato for the last twenty years, I can honestly tell you that it's never too late. The door to Virtuo is always open. I encourage you to step in. Lindy L. read more

Thrilled with the programming and personal attention from Brandon at Virtuo! The training program is personalized to my needs and Brandon checks in regularly. I'm so happy with Virtuo that my 13 year old son is now a member and loves it. Would highly recommend to anyone at any fitness level from couch to elite athlete. read more

So glad I finally found Virtuo! After trying gym after gym in LA like Swol-dilocks, I finally landed somewhere that pushes me just that 1% more every day while still making me feel safe in my physical vulnerabilities. Concerned about injures? There's a modification for that. Not sure if you're doing an exercise correctly? They give specific cues to insure you feel the workout in the right muscles. Have to reschedule a session? Absolutely zero shaming from the coaches and positive encouragement for when you're ready to return. Coach Jonny makes each group session feel like I'm hanging out with friends while also getting individualized attention. It's been fun feeling the progress my body has made, I can't wait to push myself and see what I can do for myself next. read more

When I finally decided to get a better handle on my health and fitness, Virtuo immediately set themselves apart from other personal trainers and gyms in the area. I knew I needed the 1:1 guidance from experts, and a space where I didn't have to worry about crowds or people seeing how much I'm struggling or don't know what I'm doing. My personal trainer Jonny meets me where I am, and is playing a major part in educating me about how to do workouts properly, building workout routines that focus on my goal, helping me with my nutritional goals, and overall cheerleading me through the session. In the couple months I've been with Virtuo, I've already noticed the weight loss, and my energy levels rising. And I appreciate how data driven the company is, with their app that keeps track of my progress so far. I appreciate the camaraderie during the Saturday classes, and you can tell that the other clients are good people. Brandon has built his team around the concept of improving yourself holistically, and I can tell that they only take in clients who want to grow and work towards their goals. And each trainer is just good people, who contribute to the positive atmosphere. I love the energy at Virtuo, and I look forward to seeing how my journey goes with this team. read more

I don't usually post to reviews, but in this case, I just have to. I started training with Sarita a few weeks ago because the whole 'virus' living room training just needed a revamp. Sarita upped my game by pushing me to the next level. A level a didn't know I could reach. She's amazing! Knows her physiology and her technique is impeccable. I hate leg days but she makes them bearable and fun. She's a pro, she's spots me when I need that extra push when trying heavier weights. It's the little things that make a difference. I'm seeing a difference in my muscle growth and I couldn't be happier! My confidence is soaring (always nice when you're out and about). Even after an unrelated injury- no excuses Sarita has me on a roll! Also, a nod to Branden, the owner of the gym- consummate professional. You know how the saying goes, good customer service trickles down. This is the case here. If you're ready to see your body change for the best- this is the place for you! read more

See all

2020 was no joke, especially if you've gained the Covid 19lbs like I have. I've ALWAYS struggled with consistently sticking to a workout regime and the weight just kept growing and growing. That is until a BOOTYful guy named Coach Eric helped me get motivated and I have NEVER sweated so much yet felt so fulfilled after an hour of a carefully choreographed workout! He was super attentive and considerate plus his explanations on how to do each exercise was easy to understand even for beginners! Highly recommend him and I can't wait to workout with him again! read more

I found Virtuo a few months ago and was excited to meet the trainers here due to their great reviews. Since then, I've been training with Keith three times a week. Keith is fantastic and I find his training style really aligns with what I need out of my gym experience. He is incredibly diligent and dedicated to helping me learn how to move better; you can tell he cares about what he does. I feel challenged (in a good way) every morning that I see him and I always have a great time with his contagious energy. The whole team here is super friendly and enthusiastic -- I've been really enjoying meeting not just the trainers but the rest of the clients as well. It's a great community that Virtuo has built. I've loved my experience here so much that I've even gotten some friends to join me in a weekly semi-private session! read more

I've struggled to get back into shape since the pandemic, constantly losing a few pounds only to regain them when life got stressful. I was beyond frustrated and almost ready to give up. Then, a friend recommended Brandon, and he has been a game-changer! He reignited my inner athlete, provided a meal plan that was both strict and realistic, and--most importantly--made my fitness journey enjoyable again (who knew losing weight could be fun?). I highly recommend Brandon--10/10! read more

The Virtuo team is kind, encouraging and always there to partner with you in achieving your fitness goals. If you are looking for quality personal training the is tailored to want YOU want, I recommend Virtuo without hesitation. read more
