Self Made Training Facility City of Orange | Personal Fitness Center — Local services in Orange

I never had a trainer before but after Covid I decided to take the step and get back in shape. I was recommended by a friend to look into trainers here at this gym and I messaged John DC fitness and I explained to him that I wanted to get leaner and grow in muscle as well. He gave me a free session and explained what he can do to help me reach my goal and saw where my physical fitness level was at and made a complete program for me and adjusted it as needed. He was very patient and I took about half a week to make my decision and I’m glad I did, I’d say the only regret is not starting sooner. I was about 240 when I started which has been about a year and now I’m at 226 and I look way leaner and better and feel better as well. He helped me a lot with my nutrition and helped me with recipes and weighing my food and logging in all meals. He’s very flexible with schedules as well, which was a big help, and especially with motivation when your feeling lazy or if your struggling to push to the last rep. He’s very open with talking about anything as well while you workout so it even feels like you working out with your friend that pushes you to be the very best version of yourself. I’d say if your on the fence for a new trainer I’d highly recommend John DC, my mindset when I train now even on days on my own has changed drastically, I push myself to the limit and with him consistently asking me “are you satisfied” “Is this the best version of yourself”, has stuck with me in the gym and it has changed my everyday life by the way i look and feel! If you want something to change and don’t know how or are nervous I wouldn’t hesitate to...

It was my first time fitness training and having a personal trainer. I could not be more happy to have jump started my fitness journey at this place! I have nothing but good words to say about this training facility and the people that make it so great. I had JP as my trainer and I couldn’t imagine anyone better to have trained me. From the beginning, JP was personable. He acted as an equal, never above and he had a great balance between personal and professional qualities. He pushed me when he had to but really listened to how I was feeling and doing throughout sessions. I was never particularly a gym person, let alone someone who would lift weights. He made sessions fun and less intimidating. One of the biggest qualities I appreciated throughout these 6 months was JP’s perspective on food. Going into training, food was quite a sore topic for me. JP provided me with excellent knowledge on the balance with food. He encouraged me to incorporate the things I liked to eat and educated me on a happy balanced diet. This was probably the most significant takeaway I’ve had these 6 months and I am grateful to have had a trainer with this mentality! JP really gave me the tools I needed and I can’t wait to continue to implement all that he has taught me from the way machines work to eating on a calorie deficit and still liking the things I eat.

A big shoutout to Drew as well! From the moment I scheduled my first training session to the last, he was immediately on top of any issue or concern I had. He was also such a friendly face to see during sessions!

All that to say, if you are looking to start training, I definitely...

My experience here has not disappointed me. Gabe is the most motivating and knowledgeable trainer!! I wouldn't have achieved over 8 pounds weight loss and developed exercise knowledge without him! I feel so much more confident after having contained most of my post partum weight. I feel much more energized after my changing my diet that Gabe has helped me modify. I would not want any other trainer. I trust him and genuinely believe it warms his heart to help clients reach their goals. Our time together is ending, unfortunately, but I'm hoping to return with him soon!! Ask for Gabe Zapata!! The gym is more intimate which makes it easier to use available machines and it is very well kept. I attached my photo of late May to...
