I am aging (!) and have suffered chronic pain for years, so I have been reticent to take a chance at a gym for fear of hurting myself. Having a hip replaced and going to physical therapy for six weeks really changed my perception of what I could accomplish, so rather than slide back into inactivity once I had recovered, I decided to check out this gym close to where I live. I was so impressed by the friendly non-judgemental staff, especially Charles and Edwin, that I signed up for a year of personal training with Orestes (Cuba), 2-3 times a week. Orestes is professional and knowledgable, he's been very concerned with my safety and proper body alignment, and careful with my limitations, but he pushes me to get stronger which is exactly what I need. I am starting to see muscle definition and I feel better all over. I highly recommended this LA fitness to anyone who is serious about getting healthy.
