    Straight up Fitness is more than a transformation center, they become family because they care and…read moretreat you like family. Michael, the owner, truly cares about every member's well-being. He's always encouraging and motivating and pushes you to be your best. He greets everyone he encounters, and knows everyone's name. This Norwalk location is the flagship gym, and the first to open of the three locations. I've worked out at all locations, and they are great. All of the trainers are fantastic humans! They have the best energy, play great music, and train us very well. I seriously haven't met a trainer I didn't like. Actually, I take that back. When I first started, there was a crazy trainer, but he didn't last and I never saw him again. That's one the best things about SUF, they'll get rid of bad energy and focus on the good. I've joined every weight loss program, gym, boot camp, out there... you name it, I've tried it. None have ever compared to the quality of SUF. I've never been so successful at losing weight, gaining muscle, losing inches, losing fat, in my life! In one year of consistent workouts and counting calories and macros, I've lost over 40 lbs and kept it off. I've dropped 8 dress sizes and it keeps dropping! The difference with SUF and any other program I've done, is that the people care. Not just the employees, but the like-minded friends I've made. Everyone is there, cheering you on, when you think you can't possibly lift any heavier, squat any lower, they're all there, cheering you on. It's amazing! If you join the Elite program, you get access to a nutritionist, or food police, as we call her, who helps you figure out what to eat and what not to eat. The gym also offers a food prep service and it's also amazing! I used it my first 3 months there, until I got the hang of it and was able to prep on my own. At the end of the day, YOU, are accountable for your own being, and YOU, have to want it, in order to stay focused and determined. But, I will tell you, the amount of support you get at Straight Up Fitness, is unlike any other around. Worth every penny, if you a Reach out with questions, and I'll happily answer, from my own experience. If you're in search of looking your best and feeling your best, ever, come to SUF. You will not be disappointed. Trust the process.

But be aware of his true feelings about overweight people per his email: The following email sent Michael@straightupfitness.com from @StraightUpFitness and its owner Michael Duivis on October 11, 2022 at 9:34:03 AM PDT "Every time I see overweight realtors win 'awards' for how much they sold, I can't help but think... 'They could've done so much better'. If you're fat overweight, blood flow is being restricted throughout your body. Especially in your brain. This messes with your decision making and mood control. Imagine these realtors quit the El Pollo Loco and Portos. Start tracking calories. Less wine. Less mixers. 10k steps a day." They'd lose weight Their mood & mental clarity would go up. And they'd become the 'top producer' among 'top producers', collecting all those awards-that-look-like-Oscars. Now I know most realtors don't need help (they're doing good already, in their BMW's, red bottoms, etc). But if I'm listing my house. And all else is equal. I'm going with the one that's in shape. How you show up is half the battle. And that's regardless of what you do for a living." These comments are utterly despicable. Listen, I get it. You line your pockets by encouraging people to become healthier and lose weight. I do not disagree with that goal. I myself am on that road. But to demean people's intelligence and insinuate that those of us that are obese are unsuccessful, have poor judgment, and suffer uncontrollable mood swings is not the way to attract people to your business. Plus you just exude the same ugly hate that bigots spew. Replace "in shape" in your statement with white, straight, male, or whatever category you want and it just demonstrates why society continues to be plagued by hate. If anything, this email shows is that you Mr. Duivis have the poor judgment. And before you go dismissing me as some bitter fat guy, I'd like you to know that I managed to graduate college with honors, did an internship at The White House, studied at Oxford University in England, graduated from law school, passed the California state bar exam, have traveled to over 50 countries, have hosted a radio show for the last two decades. and have been helping the marginalized of the world for the last twenty years as an attorney. And I did all of that weighing well north of 300 lbs. And I am proud of all I have done and who I am, every single 475 pounds of it! And like me there are many many successful overweight people out there, like Southern California's very own Gabriel Iglesias

    I'm sitting here in Hanoi, Vietnam wishing I could be back home n going to LA Fitness like I have…read morebeen going all my life. They were closed for remodeling so I had to go to 24 hrs fitness n I realized how much nicer la fitness was. The cons: 1)They close early at 8pm on weekends 2) their pool is in the basement w 21 steps made of concrete, I fell 18 steps on a cruise ship n survived it but I'm sure I won't survive a fall on this steep stair. 3) I loved their Lifecycle machines esp their ellipticals and rotating machine to firm abdominals unfortunately they got rid of all these amazing machines n replaced them w scary looking MATRIX MACHINES! I get lost in the MATRIX just looking at them, I barely could understand how to use them. I asked the dude at the desk what happened to the perfectly fine Lifecycle machines he said " oh we just want real machines for serious gym goers" this was a terrible thing to say "dude I'm deadly serious here, I have been going to the gym since my college days n paid like $199 a month for Jack La lane in NYC when I was a starving college graduate" these machines are made for gym rats, you see them looking like robots working out for hours. You'd have to be at least 5 ft2 to be able to use them except for 1 that I could use and I'm only a midget! The pros: 1) No gym on earth has a pool w almost tub water! I love it. 2) it gives good vibes bc it's well decorated and the layout is nice. 3) They got rid of slow Joe silly order to turn the showers into a trickle, it's penny wise pound foolish as it took forever to wash your hair. My vacation in Vietnam was great in Saigon, Halongbay etc.. my granddaughter wanted to experience her roots but after Halong my husband collapsed I thought it was a stroke but it turned out to be brain cancer n we are languishing here waiting for brain surgery. I'm writing this as a tip to travelers never travel wo insurance. The fakenewsmedia beat up on America n tell you health care is free everywhere, I'm in Hanoi, a communist country n the ambulance ride $600, say hello in ER $1699 n brain surgery over $10,990 although in USA it would be $40,000 here but they want cash n credits card upfront or they would kick you to the curb. I'm American n as such a cash cow to be milked! In USA it's infuriating the corrupted politicians gave it free healthcare billions to the migrants. I write this also so all my precious Yelp friends will know why I have been absent as idk when we'll be outta here as it's a long recovery n my husband might not make it, my daughter works remote from here n navigates the insurance to see how we can claw back some fees here, it's so complex but it's her expertise n she has a business international phone. I need divine intervention if I survive this.
