Buckle up, this will be long! š My journey started 2 weeks ago. After 2 decades of slowly declining with my health and fitness, I started to look for a wellness plan that would work for me. I have had a LA Fitness membership for many years! I actually go 2-3 times per week. BUTā¦.I wasnāt making progress, I wasnāt excited to go, I would never sweat with my weight training, it was just meh, check the box sort of thing.. Slowly but surely my lack of effort, coupled with not the greatest eating and drinking, while now tapping at the 50 year old door šØš¼āš¦³, I was tired OF being tired, depressed, lacking confidenceā¦. So I started to look for the right wellness studio/plan for me. Exploring F45 and OT, it wasnāt right for me, CrossFit seemed way to intense! Having had a PT 21 years ago, I remember the importance of doing exercises the right way, without injury and with results. I drive by TriFit all the time living in the area, so I went on YouTube to check them out. I then jumped on Google going through the reviews. This seemed exactly like what I was looking for. šš¼ I reached out via the website and the next day Laurel who is the owner of TriFit reached out. Very kind and we setup an initial consultation over the phone. This was very good for me in the process of making a change! I realized on this call, that Laurel is keenly interested in helping all aspects of her clients physical and emotional well-being - Which is exactly what I needed. I shared things about my weight struggles over the past 4-5 decades I donāt share with many⦠At this point, I was ready to join, and here is where I really appreciated Laurels approach. She didnāt want me to commit to joining until I came to a complimentary session. She wanted to make sure it was a fit for me. After my first session, we had an additional consult to further determine the best plan. The next day after my first session, Laurel reached out to see how I was⦠š That has never happened before! I have been working with Steven which has been amazing⦠Itās literally like I am starting to walk again as an infant š I learn a ton each sessionā¦From form, technique, breathing and a lot more⦠Steven has an excellent ability to focus on each student, helping them with their session goals⦠I have also had my first consult with Monica which was also is very helpful in ensuring the fuel and food aspect is on point! I now really look forward to going to my training šš»ā¦ That is not something I have had in 20 years š¬.. I have made significant BUT realistic changes to my diet⦠and 2 weeks in, with eating the right foods, and not limiting myself with those good foods, I have lost 7 lbs so far. My goal is to be balanced and not just check the scale, but to feel the results! šŖš» My energy and sleep have already improved⦠As has my attitude.. so I have been told š Without a doubt, I am very excited for my journey and being part of the TriFit crew⦠If you are on the fence on making a decision, do the consult, you will be glad...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHands down, best choice Iāve made training at Trifit. I look forward to walking through the doors and always feel amazing when I leave. Iāve been going to Trifit for over 2 years now and have achieved better results in that time than I have ever achieved at any other gym throughout my life. Coming from a fitness background; as a previous Zumba instructor for nearly 10 years.
My experience with Trifit has been and continues to be exceptional. The trainers are amazing and offer tons of support and encouragement on your fitness journey. A special shout out to one of my favorite trainers ( Alex ). Heās always very welcoming, knowledgeable, kind and super funny!! He always makes our workouts entertaining. Donāt get me wrong, every trainer at Trifit is amazing, they bring a different element to the gym & they all represent what Trifit stands for.
A little background about me: As soon as I joined Trifit I had to get both my knees replaced within months of joining. Trifit was very accommodating to my needs after both my surgeries. I can do things now I would have NEVER imagined Iād be able to do after having both my knees replaced.
I really appreciate the trainer's ability to give me tips and tricks to get the most out of every workout especially when I need a modification.
I see a change in my energy levels, how much stronger I am, and most definitely the transformation of my body. Itās great & I feel amazing! I train here about 4 times a week and see the same consistent positive trainers & awesome music every time. Fellow members are inspiring & the comradery is just amazing which creates a perfect workout environment.
The workouts are led by personal trainers who give hands on instant feedback, adjustments during the workouts and just the right amount of encouragement. Itās great to be able to get stronger and have proper form in a group setting, while still getting that cardio in. Itās a challenging workout but they do cater to each individual's abilities no matter what fitness level youāre at. Workouts are rewarding and produce amazing results if you commit to it.
Itās cozy environment/private gym that feels more personal. The community they have built at this studio is incredible, and it is such a joy working out here. Good mix of functional fitness. There are never too many people which is nice. They have classes that are offered all throughout the day ā good, varied range of different options.
Easily the best gym in the city with a great workout atmosphere. Lots of people serious about fitness. The coaches really care about being there for us. I HIGHLY recommend trying out Trifit. I promise you that you will not...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreEDIT: I've now been attending TriFit for over two years and can't see myself anywhere else! I moved houses recently and told my realtor we had to find somewhere close enough so that I can keep coming. Alex and Steven have built a truly special community -- you don't just get exercise here, you get socialization, new friends, and confidence in yourself.
I have never met a judgmental person in all my time here. If you're nervous about leaving your comfort zone, take the leap -- you will feel comfortable the second you walk in the door. There are tons of classes to fit any schedule, Alex and Steven can help you tailor your exercises to any physical limitations you have, and they will genuinely do whatever they can to help you succeed. As much as I would like to gatekeep this place, if you're like me and never considered yourself an exercise person, PLEASE give it a chance!
ORIGINAL REVIEW: I found TriFIT after years of gym memberships at the larger chains. I felt like I was wasting my time with ineffective workouts, not understanding most of the equipment, and had anxiety about being surrounded by people who all seemed to know what they were doing and were far more in shape than I was.
Enter "the gym for non-gym people." I was immediately made to feel comfortable by the entire staff from day one, and the other members are, without exception, extremely friendly and supportive. It really is a unique place that really makes you feel like you're a part of a community. I work from home and a lot of days these classes are my only opportunity to get out of the house and interact with others. It's done wonders for my mental health on top of the physical benefits.
I can't say enough good things about the coaches. They're incredibly knowledgeable, welcoming, supportive, non-judgmental, patient, etc. etc. No matter who you take classes with -- Alex, Steven, Bex -- not only are you getting a great workout but you're getting their help and support in making sure you're doing everything properly and as effectively as possible. Plus they're just great people and they make classes fun.
To be transparent, it is not the cheapest option out there but I consider it an investment not only in my physical health but my mental health as well, so it's more than worth it to me.
Give this place a shot, even (especially) if you tend to be self conscious or anxious or nervous. It'll...
