THE BEST

by JeffDavis at Citysearch

I've been working out with Tony at Ultra Body Fitness three days a week for the last few months and I honestly can't say enough about the man or his gym. He is more than a personal trainer. He's a sculptor. I had been working out by myself for over ten years and was having shoulder problems, knee problems and had not had any weight or strength gains in ages. Working out almost six days a week and not seeing any gains was becoming incredibly frustrating. I decided it was time to learn what mistakes I was making by signing up with a professional. Within a few weeks, Tony had corrected my form, introduced me to the agony and ecstasy of super sets and drop sets, completely solved my shoulder and knee problems and given me an incredible boost in strength. Without hesitation, Ultra Body Fitness gets my highest recommendation.

• Pros: Friendliness, professionalism, superior knowledge

Working out with great results

I wanted to share with you my experiences with Tony and the staff at Ultrabody Fitness. I, too, was one of those people that would work out 3 times a week and expect miracles in those 3 hours. I did not adhere to the diets and was always frustrated with my results...actually---lack of results. Then, I came over to Ultrabody Fitness and started speaking with Tony. He put it right on the line with me and said that although he could help me get in shape I would need to make the commitment to follow a healthier life plan. He said that like me, many others expected miracles with just 3 sessions a week and again like me, blame the trainers for lack of progress. I took this to heart and made the commitment. I followed the program he designed for me and stuck to it. I put in my own time outside of the gym as well and Tony kept a constant communication with me and made alterations as needed to help me achieve my goals. Well, in the past 4 months I have lost 30 lbs and my body is toned and fit and I feel great. I found Tony's approach to be professional, personal, and effective. I continue to work out at Ultrabody Fitness and I highly recommend it. I will also add that I have not experienced any problems with air conditioning and I work out at various times of the day and find this a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. I read below that some people were not happy with their results...but lets face it ---you get what you give and I chose to give 100%. Good Luck to you all in achieving your fitness goals. 2 Thumbs up from me for this gym!

Greatest results in a great environment!

Before Ultra Body Fitness, I had achieved great results loosing weight with cardio emphasized boot camps. I kept the weight off on my own after those boot camps but never did achieve the tight toned body that I admired in others. I realized through research that what I was missing was strength training but the gyms intimidated me and the cost of a personal trainer was too high.

Tony's Boot Camp at Ultra Body Fitness has shown me the light to achieving my dream body!!!

After 20 sessions I lost those last ten pounds and gained the toned tight body I've always wanted. The boot camps were never crowded and everyone is serious about training. The staff and other trainers are SUPER friendly and you feel connected to the gym right away. This connection keeps you going and helps in meeting your goals. Tony is fantastic and easygoing and at the same time is always aware just how to push you when you need it.

I was a complete novice going in but Tony and everyone there made me feel comfortable and taught me well. The six am call time is early but doable and actually the best time to work out, drive to and from the gym and find parking (yes there is a time of day in LA with no traffic). The gym is super clean with well-maintained equipment, never crowded, and easy to park in the area. The music is never annoying and the staff and other trainers make you feel comfortable no matter what your level of experience. My own results have all my friends and clients at my job asking about my training and I've already referred all of them here. It truly is the best gym in L.A.

• Pros: Value, Best Trainers, Easy to get to and parking
• Cons: none
