Fast Lean Fit — Local services in Los Angeles

I signed up for the 50 min sessions and trained here for 4 months. First impressions - If you've been to other gyms before, you might find this a little unusual in the beginning. It is not a traditional gym with the familiar equipments you can sit on and workout.

Dan, the gym owner and the lead trainer was excellent in being welcoming and gets along well with you to meet your goals. He clearly lists down a plan and maintains a file where in he logs your training sessions. Fortunately he was also my trainer.

His initial methods were mostly using body weight and resistance bands giving attention to form, range and core balance. Gradually he switched me to dumbell and bench workouts. We had a lot of chats during the training sessions. It was fun !

Towards the end, Dan got busy and there was Rodney a new trainer in the gym from NYC. His methods were different altogether, using kettle-bells, cable machines, etc. but both sure did teach me a lot about what all to watch while exercising a muscle group.

Now, during this time of lockdown I teach my friends from most of what i learnt from Rodney and...

I've been training with Dan (the owner) since May. I've taken a picture on the 1st of every month since we started and my body has completely transformed. Me personally, I'm a skinny guy who has trouble sculpting my body and getting a bigger upper chest specifically, and he has helped with that.

This is the strongest and most in shape I've ever been. I've been able to lift weight I never thought I could, and I've also been pushed to my limits when it comes to stamina and just breaking through barriers that I've never been able to do on my own.

Great gym in Koreatown that offers everything you need for strength training, compound movements, calisthenics, functional training, yoga, HIIT, intervals, and a sweet shower. The fitness instructors, gym owner, and regular members are all friendly so it's all good vibes inside. It is smaller than your conventional gym but the reward is the community of athletes that you can easily plug yourself into and the social rewards that results from it.

I personally believe that the owner of a gym is a huge reflection on the gym and its direction. With Danny's friendly demeanor, knowledge of physical fitness, and ambition to take the gym to the next level to further the quality of lives through diet and physical movement, Fast Lean Fit might just become the best gym in Los Angeles...
