When I started training with BodyWorks Lifestyle 2 month ago I was at a very difficult place in my life. I was having immense physical problems, back pain and insomnia. In addition to my back pain I was also feeling emotionally and mentally depleted. I really felt like my tank was empty and making some changes in my life was the only way to change my circumstances. Upon meeting with BodyWorks Lifestyle they were tremendously diligent in not only assessing my physical pains and fitness goals, but also addressing lifestyle changes that could help bring me out of this funk. I had been to many trainers before but BodyWorks Lifestyle’s approach was unique in so many ways. They didn't just focus on the pounds and inches nor did they talk down to me or make me feel guilty about what I could and couldn't do. They took the time to not only give me guidance but to also help me understand the underlying psychology and physiology of what these changes would do to me.

With regards to their training style I feel that I was getting a personalized training regiment with short term and long term goals. The sheer variety of exercises and styles of training they employed not only got me working hard but also kept me engaged in my training. I found myself applying their techniques while I was training on my own and feeling like I was not only getting in shape but actually taking control of my body and my training program. For the first time I truly understood the philosophy of what I was doing which made applying the techniques that much easier.  I can honestly say that the last 2 months have changed my life and I look forward to the next couple months. Not to mention I have lost 15 pounds, 3 inches on my waist, 9% of my body fat, and any traces of back pain are long gone. I went from 233 pounds and 28% body fat, to 218 pounds at 19% body fat in 8 weeks. I appreciate and all the hard work and education that BodyWorks Lifestyle has given me and I feel that a true life change has happened.

Fannie Smith

My name is Fannie Smith.  I’m a stay at home mom with two young kids.  For the longest time I kept meaning to lose the baby weight, but my babies weren’t babies anymore and I was still overweight.  I noticed that I didn’t have as much energy as I needed to be the active mom I always wanted to be, I was out of shape and unhappy with how I was letting myself go.  When two friends told me they were training with BodyWorks Lifestyle I thought about it, talked it over with my husband, and we decided that I needed to make myself a priority so I could better care for everyone. 

I’ve been going to BodyWorks Lifestyle for 7 months now.  I’ve lost over 17 pounds, and went down a dress size.  I feel great, and I’m definitely more toned.  Every morning I wake up energized and ready to start my day.  I can play with the kids, take care of the house, walk around the neighborhood, and run errands without feeling tired - and it feels fantastic.  I haven’t felt this good in years, and I owe it to my workouts with BodyWorks.  I look forward to my "me" time workouts, and seeing my work out friends.  I love the flexible workout schedule throughout the week.  I can pop into the morning or evening sessions depending on my needs.  Plus BWL works you hard in order to get results, but they are also pleasant and positive and make you want to come back.

A friend of mine was trying to recruit me to attend personal training sessions along with her.  I finally relented and joined her for a session.  I had the mindset that I would go one time as a favor and never return.  I did return and have been hooked ever since.  My workouts with BodyWorks Lifestyle have far exceeded my expectations.  He is motivating, supportive, fun and has a way of keeping me focused.  I have not only lost 20 pounds, gone from a size 10 to a size 6, I have tons more energy. You can't put a dollar value on the results that I have had from training with BodyWorks Lifestyle. Coming to them was the best decision I have ever made.

When I first started training with BodyWorks Lifestyle I had reached a point where I was unhappy with how far I had let myself go.  I reached a point where I wasn’t so  out of shape I wasnt ashamed of my body, but compared to how I was used to looking, I had definitely let myself go. So I started working out in Group Personal Training classes with BodyWorks Lifestyle. The classes were nothing like I have ever done before. They were fun, unpredictable and challenging.

The specially designed eating plan is non restrictive, easy to follow and helped me lose weight while actually improving my health, where other diets in the past left me feeling sluggish and malnourished. What caught me by surprise was how fast the results came. I expected to get good results, but I got 90% of the way to my goal in 8 weeks.  I am so happy with how I look and feel, this is the best thing I have ever done for myself!

Judy Quick

Before I started training with BodyWorks Lifestyle I wasn’t actually that unhappy with the way I looked and felt although I realized I wasn’t where I would Like to be. I had never had a personal trainer before but I decided it was time when after a trip with my family I looked at a photo of myself and was unpleasantly surprised with what I saw. I hold very high expectations for myself and I had let myself slip, so I said enough is enough, I’m getting back in shape. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I had never had a trainer before and they had me doing some unique exercises that I had never seen before. I have an extremely busy schedule, and travel a lot but I managed to get great results even with all the challenges of my busy lifestyle. They also made me completely overhaul my diet, which actually wasn’t that hard, they just had me making smarter choices, but didn’t make me count calories or limit myself. They made me focus on the quality of what I was eating, not quantity.

I realized things were really starting to happen when after 3 months my hair Stylist, my friends, my husband’s friends jaws were dropping when they saw me. I was getting comments from everyone on how great I looked, and like any woman would, I absolutely loved it! I went to my high school reunion and people were telling me how I had hardly changed since school. Another milestone was when I put some jeans on that I hadn’t been able to fit in 10 years. I was ecstatic. I am more than happy with the results I have achieved; I have gone from 140 pounds to 126 pounds and lost 9% of my body fat. I look and feel amazing. This is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Gail and Tim Davis

I am 46 and had reached a point where I simply didn’t know how to loose weight, get in shape and stay healthy going forward.  I have tried so many diets over the years and lost weight only to put it back on after returning to my normal eating habits.  One Saturday I told my husband that I needed to find a program that incorporated both exercise and nutrition.  You read so many conflicting "expert" opinions on what to eat and what not to eat that I didn’t know where to start. 

My husband did research online and he found BodyWorks Lifestyle.  We set an appointment to meet with them and discuss their philosophies.  They asked us what was important to us and what we wanted to get out of their program. After listening to their approach we both felt it was the right decision to sign up and start following their program completely. Their approach to nutrition is simple and nothing like our normal diet, which is a good thing.  We both made the commitment and started following his program 100% including supplements.  We felt a difference immediately.  I was a true test of their nutritional program because I was a fast food junkie with a sweet tooth.  Needless to say, none of this was incorporated in his plan.  They assured us that if we followed his plan we would not have cravings and would not miss the bad foods we had been putting into our bodies.  Amazingly, they were right.  I still expect to want my junk food and to my delight, I do not. We have more energy and stamina in our daily lives than either of us has experienced for many years.

We work out with BodyWorks Lifestyle 4-5 times a week based on our schedules.  The first two weeks were very hard, but we stuck with it and found that we improved.  We are now at the point where we actually want to work out.  The BWL staff are very conscious about pushing you to your personal limits, while making sure you do not get injured.  In just 9 weeks I have Lost 18 pounds, and dropped my body fat 12%. My husband has lost 21 pounds and dropped His Body Fat 13%. The team at BodyWorks Lifestyle are extremely knowledgeable and walk their talk.  It is our goal to compete in the Redondo Beach Mini Triathlon this coming spring, with BodyWork's help.  Our trainer may even compete with us.  If you are ready to make real changes in your life for the right results then we recommend a program like this.

Dave Gimpleson

I would like to provide a summary of my progress celebrating my one year anniversary working with BodyWorks Lifestyle. Last year at this time, I was a lethargic, tired, middle aged man, who had neglected my physical well being for the prior five years. Work place responsibilities, increased travel requirements, diminishing staff and a total feeling of being overwhelmed dominated my days before BodyWorks Lifestyle. BodyWorks Lifestyle came highly recommended to me and upon my first meeting, I knew that I was on the road of transformation to better health and a positive direction onto a daily regiment of taking care of myself. With this short story, I'd like to pay tribute to an outstanding team of people who motivate me to improve the status quo and push myself to excel previously agreed upon limits, while being extremely supportive and encouraging. The trainers have an excellent understanding about people too. They ensure that the exercises we undertake are practical to my life style and these healthy habits are easily transportable to other venues within my daily schedule. I have found our routine to be extremely conducive to hotel settings, as well as other "on the road" venues. I mentally think about the exercises that they have prescribed for me and keep a log of my progress.

They set an encouraging tone for my work out routine. They have this "can do" attitude, which motivates me to greatness. Through this scan-do attitude, persistence, harmony, and a willingness and determination to do whatever it takes to help me achieve my goals, this has lead to wonderful success this year. I have more energy, I have actively adopted positive eating habits, I have a routine and a "realistic" workout regiment that is catered to my personality, body type and life style and now feel that I am on a more healthy road to greatness. I have achieved weight loss and a more positive healthy direction. Special kudos to BodyWorks Lifestyle for a job well done.

Carissa

Working out with Working out with BodyWorks Lifestyle has not only provided me with results but also the education on how to live a healthy and active life.

Over the past year of working out with BodyWorks Lifestyle and their Group Training System I have lost 11% in body fat and 9 inches over all.  I have also lost close to 10 lbs in weight and have turned fat into toned muscle.

Training with BodyWorks Lifestyle has helped me discover new exercises that work the major areas but also concentrate on my core. And the motivation I get from their group workouts push me to train harder, lift heavier, and work towards completing that last rep, no matter how tired I am or how much it hurts.

One thing I will always remember is that your path to seeing results starts in the kitchen.  If you aren’t eating clean then you’ll never uncover your true potential.

Cassandra

I started training with BodyWorks Lifestyle in March of 2009 after getting a recommendation from my aunt. BodyWorks Lifestyle started me off on both a nutrition plan as well as regular work outs. The nutritional information was fantastic; I think that this had a huge impact on my weight loss. The work outs were also amazing for strengthening my body and getting it to start burning away the fat. As I got stronger they adapted the work outs to keep the intensity level the same. The team pushed me during my workouts but never to the point of being discouraging and was always supportive. Their staff also continued to monitor and adjust my nutrition plan as well as send me information on other diets that I might be interested in which helped me stay on track. My overall experience involved losing about 85 lbs and 5 dress sizes so I am very happy with BodyWorks Lifestyle!!

Chuck Smith

I Began working out with Bodyworks Lifestyle in November of 2009. At the time I was 400lbs and Suffering from type 2 diabetes. I could only walk as far as the distance between two lamp posts before I would be out of breathe. My Wife always had to prompt me to hurry up when we would go for walks. My knees hurt and I was always tired. I used to fall asleep in front of tv when I got home for a good 3 hours. In the last 12 months I have lost 93 lbs, My wife is now the one telling me to slow down when we go for walks, and I can cycle for an hour on the stationary bike. My blood sugar is back to normal and the effects of the diabetes are diminishing. I don’t fall asleep in front of TV anymore and have a lot more energy,

I have only been training with BodyWorks for 3 weeks and have lost 6% Bodyfat, put on 6 pounds of muscle and I feel Fantastic! I am Stoked!

Ellina

Thanks to BodyWorks Lifestyle, I have been able to reach my fitness goals. They have helped me in developing a meal plan that works for me and my fitness goals, and has helped me understand more about how the human body was made to function when it comes to nutrition. Their extensive knowledge is amazing and has been a great help. I would recommend BodyWorks to anyone; whether you are a beginner in the fitness world or an advanced athlete, they can help you achieve the results you are looking for!

Emily Mott

I started working out with BodyWorks Lifestyle not necessarily to lose weight, but to tone, get in shape, and feel better. I've been going for 9 months now and my body has completely changed. I have more energy and confidence to wear whatever I want. I love to workout there rather than the gym because the workout is constantly changing and we're introduced to new exercises all the time. I have had fun at BodyWorks for the last 9 months. Bottom line is...I look and feel great!!!!

Gwen Smith

I Contacted BodyWorks Lifestyle on recommendation from My hair Stylist. She had told me about the great results another one of her Clients had achieved at BodyWorks, and as I was preparing for my wedding I was all ears. I Had some concerns as I had had my leg amputated several years ago and was worried about the limitations this may pose to my fitness goals. Their Workout plan incorporated elements of pilates, Weights, boxing cardio and core work to get me in stellar shape for my wedding. The Nutrition plan was logical and easy to follow. I was extremely happy with how I looked on my Wedding day thanks to BodyWorks.

Jared Watson

My girlfriend had been training with BodyWorks for a while and had been nagging at me to come work out with her. She got in amazing shape while working out with BodyWorks, and After a year of her asking I decided after all the partying and other hazards of my lifestyle I thought it would do me some good to give it a shot. Well after all the apprehension turns out I loved it. I got in great shape and have taken on board some (not all) of the nutritional advice and workout programs they designed for me on the road. It helps keep me in check with all the abuse my body takes on the Road. Thanks BodyWorks Lifestyle.

Jenn Fisher-Loyd

Thank you so much BodyWorks for helping me transform my figure before my wedding. I have done personal training at my gym before and it did not compare to your program. Not only did you help me by toning my body but you also gave me a nutritional program that works! I came to you with only 3 1/2 months until my wedding and you helped me lose 10 pounds and drop 2 pant sizes.

The group environment also helped me succeed, I enjoyed going through this process with people who had similar goals. You pushed me to try harder and had me doing exercises I didn't think I could do. I only wish I still lived there, so I could still be working out with you. Thanks for everything,

Megan

The first time I met BodyWorks Lifestyle, I immediately knew that they were the perfect people to get me where I wanted to be physically. I’ve trained all of my life from Ballet, to Gymnastics, to Martial Arts and never have I had a trainer that is so knowledgeable about not only training and toning but the way the body functions metabolically with diet plans that are phenomenal! They always have holistic alternatives, whether you’re feeling a cold coming on, or need to enhance your diet with natural supplements. I “thought” I was pretty well educated in these departments, but I soon realized after training with them, that I new very little in comparison!

Being so physically active all my life and always being in sports that generally contorted my body in unnatural ways, I’ve suffered from debilitating injuries in my hips (in fact this is what brought my Ballet career to a painful end). They are THE ONLY trainers that have rid me of these problems by strengthening the surrounding muscles! If you’re looking for a trainer with an extremely well rounded approach to overall health, they are perfect for the job (not to mention, they are some of the nicest guys out there)!!

"I’ve trained all of my life and never have I had a trainer that is so knowledgeable"

Nicki G

Im a busy gal with a full time job and full time family. when I began training with BodyWorks I was looking to tone up and finally rid myself of the dreaded baby weight. I have tried just about every diet and fitness gimic out there with little or no results. After only 4 weeks of training with BodyWorks I felt great, started looking great, lost 6lbs and 5% body fat. Amazing!! The fitness concepts are easy and fun to learn.

The program stregthens your body and mind. I couldn't wait to bring my girlfriends along to show them how I got my new body that I absolutly love! I don't have to fear bikini season anymore. I highly recommend this program for any woman looking to shape up and feel great.

Paul G

I chose health, fitness, vitality, and longevity when I chose BodyWorks Lifestyle for personal and Group Training. I relied on their knowledge, wisdom, and motivation to lose 20 lbs. in six weeks. Through their nutritional counseling and knowledge of body mechanics I am learning how to live a healthy life while creating a body I never thought possible at 55 years of age. I am very grateful to have BodyWorks Lifestyle as my partners in achieving health and vitality!

Robbie Smith

My motivation to receive help from a personal trainer was influenced when I felt my daily regular activities began to be sluggish and painful. I am a lifeguard for California State Parks and Recreation, a Teacher, A Head Coach and A Reserve Firefighter. My lifestyle demands physical fitness and I found this with BodyWorks Lifestyle.

My workout routine with BWL is grueling showing up 3-4 days a week for an hour. The exercises I did were foreign to my body at first but they were specific to the demands of my life. After only 2 weeks I began to feel better physically and mentally. I eat better and I cannot wait for my next session working hard towards my goal of being a career firefighter. I truly believe that this will give me the edge I need to be successful. I have been training for 4 months and look forward to being at my peak potential. Thank you BodyWorks.

Dave

Before starting with the BodyWorks Lifestyles Group Training System, I weighed over 250lbs, was on a verge of having a heart attack and just hated the way I looked in the mirror.

I was sick of not being able to find clothes to fit, I couldn’t run a round with my kids anymore and I was just sick of being the old fat guy!

Group Training has sure kicked me back into shape, the weight just started to melt off and now I’m a lean 200lbs, I’m stronger than I’ve ever been and I feel great.

BodyWorks Lifestyles Group Training System changed my life; it took me from being scared of having heart attack to being able to run circles around my kids.

In fact, I love Group Training so much I actually bought my wife and kids along, so now the whole family is getting in shape together and it’s bought us so much closer.

Thanks BWL!

Sahara

As a professional model and actress I’ve worked with a bunch of personal trainers. They all promised me the results that I needed, but none of them were as effective and experienced as the team at BodyWorks Lifestyle. I was struggling to get ready for a photo shoot, but BodyWorks Group Training got my body to respond and drop fat and really tone and tighten up. I dropped the 10lbs I needed for my photo shoot, and best of all, they actually finally got rid of the little bit of cottage cheese around my butt and upper thighs. Thank you so much team, you guys are absolutely fantastic!!

Nicki

BodyWorks Lifestyle is easily the best Group Training Program in Orange County. I’d tried several of the bootcamps and Group Training programs around, and after getting up at the crack of dawn and running around a park for days, weeks and months on end I just didn’t see any real results. After starting the BodyWorks Lifestyle Group Training System I noticed changes in my body within the first 2 weeks. My pants were looser, my tops started to fit me better, people started making comments about how good I looked and my energy went up through the roof.

The trainers are so great, they make me feel like I’m the only one there, and the other people there make it so much fun. Every camp I go to makes me so motivated I can’t wait for the next one.

It’s great to have also met new people who all share the goal of getting in shape, we’ve actually started hanging out and doing stuff outside of training. BWL, you are the best.

Gina

I wanted to look good for my wedding, so one of my friends told me to try BodyWorks Lifestyle. So after going to their Group Training System for 2 months I didn’t look good on my wedding day, I looked AMAZING! I dropped over 15lbs and 2 sizes, all in only 2 months! I couldn’t wait to show off my new body on my honeymoon, and I looked great.

Thank you so much BWL, I love you guys so much and trust me – so does my husband!

Randy

I didn’t really want to lose any weight and I was already in good shape, I just wanted to keep fit and try something new. BWL really pushed me to a whole new level, my speed and agility are better than they ever have been, and my cardio has gone from being one of my weak points to one of my strengths. As an Orange County firefighter, I know what it means to push myself and thanks to the Group Training System I can now push myself to a whole new level and I’m going into fire season stronger and fitter than I ever have before. Thanks guys.

Scott

I ride pro motocross and after a pretty good ’09 I was looking for a better season. The team at BodyWorks Lifestyle is the real deal. My times have been dropping ever since I’ve started training with them. I’m riding longer, faster and quicker and my recovery time has dropped right down. I thought that I could train myself and get the results that I needed, but I was flat out wrong. BodyWorks pushed me to a whole new level and anyone who is looking to get the results they need, these are the people to see.

Dan

Working with BodyWorks Lifestyle I have lost over 160lbs, 22 inches from my waist and 11 pant sizes in only 1 year. That’s faster than my surgeon told me I would see less results with surgery!!

Before starting with BodyWorks Lifestyle, I had high blood pressure and cholesterol and was borderline Type II diabetic. But now, only one year later, my blood pressure and cholesterol are at healthy levels, I am no longer at risk from diabetes and I feel better than I ever have!

BodyWorks Lifestyle has the complete package. Their program has all the tools necessary to get you to lose fat and build your body back up, their expert trainers created the ultimate customized program for me and now I feel like a completely new person.

Dannielle

Thanks to BodyWorks Lifestyles Training Program, I dropped all of my “baby weight” plus some. I lost over 20 lbs., dropped total body fat, and gained all of my confidence back.

I can't believe how much better I look; I can finally wear lyrca again!

It feels so good to be complimented on my body and the way I look. I forgot how important it was to me to feel sexy and self confident. My relationship with my husband is back to what it used to be, and I just feel like I have so much more energy and love to give. I am so happy that I did this.

BodyWorks Lifestyle has the best personal trainers in Orange County. Their personal trainers are true body experts, who knew just how to motivate me and keep me to my goals. They totally supported me and helped me achieve the results I wanted. I just can’t imagine what my life would be if I hadn’t found them.

Lori

Making the call to BodyWorks Lifestyle was one of the best things I ever did. I’ve been active my entire life, working as a physical education teacher and I’m currently one of the countries top SCUBA diving instructors. I couldn’t believe how the staff at BodyWorks Lifestyle listened to what I wanted to achieve, then assessed my body movement and diet, and then created a custom program, which not only meet my goals, but pushed my body to a whole new level.

One of my close friends told me to call BodyWorks Lifestyle and so I did. Since then, I’ve dropped over 30lbs of body fat, my strength has increased tenfold, I’m more flexible than I’ve ever been and I’m beating people half my age.

BodyWorks Lifestyle makes it so easy to get in shape and feel your best. I feel so much younger, I have endless amounts of energy and I just can’t imagine my life without this.

Thank you so much for making my life the way it is today!

Donna

I used to be an Olympic level athlete, so staying in shape and working out was never a problem for me, but then life caught up. As a VP for a multi-million dollar company, my work schedule has me traveling all over the country, my weight started to gain and my energy began to plummet.

All that changed though when I started to work with BodyWorks Lifestyle! In no time at all I’d dropped over 35lbs, toned up my body and all of a sudden I was back to my old self again.

Not only did BodyWorks Lifestyle take me well past my original goals, they really got me motivated to reach new goals and change my whole lifestyle around.

They taught me how to exercise while travelling, giving me custom workouts for while I’m on the road, teaching me how to eat properly when I’m not at home and helping me overcome all the hurdles that come with having to travel for work. Thanks to BodyWorks Lifestyle I’m looking forward to me second season of triathlons and completing my first ½ ironman!!

Becca

I did it!! You guys rock!! I never really thought I would be able to get there, but you did it for me. I lost 12lbs and 2 pant sizes in just 8 weeks. I have never felt so good about myself and my energy is through the roof. Thank you so much, I feel like a new person!

Holly

After being the chubby girl for most of my life I couldn’t believe that you could transform me so quickly. I love that you actually took the time to sit down with me and look at what I was eating and create something that worked with what I like to eat rather than just print me off something and tell me to stick with it. Who would have known that I didn’t have to starve myself to lose the weight? 18lbs and 12% body fat later I just feel fantastic. I wanna kiss you guys.

Iris

When my doctor told me I had high blood pressure, high cholesterol and was on the fast track to diabetes it was a massive shock. You took all of the pressure off me and I really appreciate the way you made you made me feel like it was your problem too and that you where going to change it. Your nutrition and workouts have really made all the difference and I’m now well on the way to normal levels again. I can’t believe you saved my life!!

Melissa

I’m a brand new mom and also own my own business. With my busy schedule, no matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t find the time to get to the gym. I kept starting with programs, I’d sign up for classes but life would just get to busy so I’d stop.

Luckily I found BodyWorks Lifestyle. BodyWorks Lifestyle helped my shed all of the weight that I gained while I was pregnant and now I’m looking better than ever.

Nicole

The BodyWorks Group Training was exactly what I needed to push myself towards my results, especially with my wedding coming up fast. Their program made things so easy for me, I just needed to show up, follow their recommendations and everything else just fell into place. It was funny looking around and seeing what the everyday gym trainers had their clients doing, comparing it to what I had, well, they where just worlds apart. This is so perfect for anyone who wants top quality training but is on a budget. Thanks guys.
