The only work out you will ever need...

by vaunman at Citysearch

...at least for your muscles. Just like many of the other reviewers I have always hated weight lifting of any kind, but this is a program that is easy on my joints and makes continuing a breeze. The results are nothing short of miraculous. Friends I haven't seen in a while can't believe the physical changes... my body is muscular for the first time in my life. Elisa is the bomb!!! I cannot recommend this gym, this program, or my trainer enough!

Never thought possible.

by krikkit at Citysearch

I'm 37 and I've NEVER stuck to an exercise regimen for longer than six months, no matter how much I "invested". With 4 Ideal Fitness, I'm going on a year now and I'm still eager for each session and proud of the results that are impossible to ignore. My arms have definition for the first time in my life, and my hind end looks like it did in high school. Also, it's one of the few things I can continue to do through my pregnancy, so I know while it may go away, the hind end will definitely return.

The environment is free of L.A. clutter like mirrors and cell phones, and each room only allows for a maximum of two clients at a time. The result is very calming but still very focusing, but the trainers really make the experience spectacular. Elisa was my first and due to scheduling, I now work with Mark. I have no doubt that every single person employed here has the perfect combination of therapist/cheerleader/anatomy expert/and phenomenal human being. They encourage without nagging, they inspire without condescending, and they individualize not only for each client, but for each moment. I hand out card to everyone I know... they are the best in the city.

• Pros: trainers, ambience, effective, personal attention
• Cons: parking

Truly ideal workout

by debbiwhitman at Citysearch

It's been easy for me to to stick with this program for a number reasons -- I can get the work out done quickly, at a time that's convenient for me, and my trainer, Elisa, is great. She not only motivates, but is able to match her training style to your individual needs. And, 30 minutes/week means that it's unlikely that you'll miss a session. Initially, the cost seemed high, but once you get started and see the results, you realize that it's worth every cent.

An Incredible Workout

by marcykaplan at Citysearch

Before starting at 4 Ideal Fitness, I had never commited to a exercise regiment. But 30:00 minutes a week I could do. I'm so glad I did. It's an incredible workout. I am stronger, thinner and happier. I have strength and stamina and muscle definition that I've never had before. Elisa, my trainer is AMAZING! She's extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to helping me get the best workout. Elisa guides me in form and gives me encouragement and guidance that has given me RESULTS! I've recommended Super Slow to my friends and co-workers; anyone who will listen. Those who have are as thrilled as me.

• Pros: Great Trainer, Nice Facility
• Cons: None

Incredible Results

by h_bing at Citysearch

I love this workout! I never believed I would see any change with only a half hour a week. After 8 weeks my husband and my kids both tell me how great I look. This really works!

Best workout

by theodore_lebaher at Citysearch

I am not a gym person, but a friend of mine talked me into taking a free intro session at this gym. It was so easy to get a great workout. I've been at it for a few months now and have seen such a huge difference. It is a fun easy workout to do once a week and the place is really comfortable. I've had bad experiences with trainers in the past, but the trainers here are very personable and knowledgable and I would recommend anyone. You have to try it to get it. I promise you.

• Pros: Size, Staff

Short on time? Head to this fitness studio for SuperSlow workouts that will sculpt muscles in just thirty minutes a week.

In Short
This is one L.A. gym where music, TVs, and erupting cell phones are nowhere to be found. These quiet, private studios provide a distraction-free zone where gym-goers can focus exclusively on the high-intensity strength-training workout. The taxing SuperSlow moves work muscles to fatigue, meaning only one thirty-minute session is necessary each week for lean and toned results. Certified trainers provide one-on-one coaching for increased strength, improved endurance, or fat loss.

Gets Better Each Workout!

by moni7 at Citysearch

I had the absolute best workout here from the first day I walked in and now I am hooked! Being an athlete for most of my life, I have always lifted weights but never in the way I did at 4 Ideal Fitness. It has made a huge impact on me going slower when lifting the weights and my body feels and looks stronger! I know I am stronger too because my numbers go up every workout.The atmosphere couldn't be more pleasant. It is very clean and professional. All the equipment is in excellent condition and state of the art. All the trainers I have met are wonderful but my trainer especially is so accommodating, helpful, and is always there pushing me on. I love the fact that I don't have to slave away at the gym like so many do and I am in and out all with 1 workout for the week. If you are pressed for time and don't think you have time to work out, you HAVE to try out this gym, you will be blown away at what 20 minutes can do for your body.

Excellent Workout!!!!

by smithy11 at Citysearch

I am usually a gym, lots of weights, lots of cardio kinda gal. So, when my friend recommended SuperSlow to me because I was injuring my knee, I was hesitant. But WOW!!!! What an amazing workout! My trainer was Mark, who was extremely knowledgable, patient and warm. I'm sure all the trainers, here, are excellent but my experience with Mark was fantastic. You only do one set per body part and you can really feel it! This is a safe and highly specific form of working your muscles and I loved it. I'm signing up for the 20 pack and looking forward to getting in shape, safely.

• Pros: Very Clean, Very Safe form of exercise, Excellent Trainers!
