Train Insane Gym

Top notch — Train Insane delivers results to anyone who’s willing to put in work.
I love this gym & can’t say enough good things about it.
Come check it out & see what it can do for YOU!

I LOVE my gym. I went here 4 years ago. After moving closer to LA, I tried finding a gym I liked as much as this one. 4 years later and 4 other gyms under my belt of me trying to find the perfect gym, I’m back at Train Insane. It’s been 2 months and I can already tell a difference. My family also notices my flabby muffin top is more firm and has shrunk. I don’t own a scale so I can’t tell you how that is, but I can tell you that if you follow the program and their recommendations, you will see results. If you don’t, you can set up a nutrition meeting (included in your membership fees) and they will adjust your calorie or macro nutrient intake to get you out of the plateau.

I initially signed up for a 6 month membership here. After about 3 months, I had a medical problem come up in which I could not exercise for 6 – 8 weeks. I had asked the owner if I could exchange my remaining few months for something else, or extend the membership and he said no. I had a doctor’s recommendation stating I could not exercise, but the owner did not care. It also sucked that there was a small window of times you could come here to «train.»
Overall a total waste of about $ 1,000.

I don’t write reviews often, but I felt the need to. I have been attending for about a month now.
I was referred here by a coworker. This is a really result driven place. They really cater to you and your goals. The staff and people attending the gym are you kind and motivating. Geoff is like an older brother that I never wanted, but he pushes me especially if I make excuses. Natasha is so inspiring and encouraging.
When I first came in I thought to myself what am I doing and I can’t be that.
Everyone here has their own story and work really hard to be they’re at.
As far as price goes, I personally at one point was getting personal training at 24 hour fitness and was spending 750 for a set of ten sessions. I was not happy there. So for what I get here, it’s a deal. By all means I’m a student and not living at home, but I look at it as a investment to myself, my future, and my loved ones.
You can go as often as you like with a recommended 3 – 4 classes a week.

This gym is AMAZING.
I had a personal trainer at another gym for the last two years. I definitely progressed my body and got stronger during that time, but it was very expensive and a challenge to continually pay for the services. My best friend had been going here for a few months and he sat me down and told me that I could do much better… and that I should really give this place a try. After doing the math and seeing how much money I could save and how much MORE training I could do for less money, I went in for a trial, with the first workout free — what did I have to lose? After the first class, I went in the office and begged them to let me sign up for a full year.
I have now been attending Train Insane for the last 3 months and I have never felt more at ease or at home in a gym environment. The coaches are all amazingly supportive… they want you to get stronger, they want you to progress your body, and they want you to use good form. I have challenged myself in new ways and with things I didn’t even know I could do. I have progressed so much, and have gotten so much stronger… and I am only three months in! I can’t wait to see what is to come!
If you’re looking for a place that will be supportive, this is the place for you… I just can’t recommend it enough.

This gym is phenomenal! The coaches here facilitate an amazing training program that encompasses weightlifting and metabolic conditioning for total body strength training. Their program also includes nutritional counseling and goals meetings to keep you on the right track. Additionally, all the other members at TI create such a positive and motivating environment to workout in. There is no judgment here. In the two months that I have been here, I have already lost about 20 pounds and 5% body fat.
About the program: You should arrive at least 10 – 15 minutes prior to class to «roll out» your muscles. This helps relieve tension and increases blood flow to your muscles. Workouts are posted on the whiteboard each day and the coaches provide instructions and demonstrate movements as necessary. There’s a brief warm-​up with various stretches and body weight exercises (i.e. squats, jumping jacks) or jog around the facility. The training session starts with weightlifting and then concludes with a high intensity workout that will boost your metabolism.
About the coaches: Geoff is the mastermind behind TI and his knowledge and experience in fitness and nutrition is well illustrated in this program that he has designed. Additionally, he takes great interest in each of his members, and is attentive to our needs to succeed in his program. Natasha is an amazing coach, very supportive, and always ready to provide that extra push in the right direction during our training sessions. Marco welcomed me to the program my first day with great enthusiasm and has continued to challenge me to push harder at each session. Ally is a burst of energy cheering members on throughout the workout.
Other: Train Insane Nutrition is also available to provide healthy prepared meals to members. The meals are prepared fresh each week and reasonably priced. I have tried a couple of their meals and they are actually quite delicious and REAL food. The nutritional information for meals is conveniently provided to log into your MyFitnessPal. Insane Beauty provides tanning and waxing services by Hannah.

This place is so cool. After attending for a couple of weeks now, I highly recommend it! The instructors are amazing and the community is very friendly.
Each class has at least two instructors watching the group. The main class has a cap of about 15 people so it doesn’t get crowded and you get enough attention to make sure you’re doing the lifts correctly. I think the format of each session changes as they move to a different cycle but currently each session has three parts: first you do the lift of the day (e.g. deadlifts, push press, back squats, etc.), then a skills test (e.g. max number of dips or pull ups), and finally, a high intensity workout which changes each day.
One of my goals coming to this gym is to build a better physical foundation to prevent injury. I was doing bootcamps before but had to stop since the workouts were just causing too much damage. But in Train Insane, I like how they do not destroy people to make them feel like they are making progress. Instead it’s a progressive load so that your body gets use to the conditioning. Which I now appreciate since really, there’s no shortcut to fitness.

this is more like 4.5−4.75 stars.
It’s been a while since I worked out at this gym. I stopped because the cost and location didn’t quite fit my needs. Since then, I have worked out at three different crossfit gyms. Two of which were horrible and one that I enjoyed.
The one I enjoyed was just as expensive as train insane, but 15 miles closer.
Still, I continue to remember my time at train insane, the sense of community, the friendliness of both trainers and patrons, as well as the results. Crossfit staff had select so many staff members that it was hard to get know them and other members were not very friendly. There was a sense of elitism there.
At train insane the workouts are similar to CF, but trainers are more attentive, workouts feel guided –it’s not a contest or a race.
If they were closer, I would return.

Really enjoyed this gym and the training team. Class sizes were great. Got a great work out every time I came in. It would have been nice if they had a later morning class during the week. I got a living social deal for a month to try the gym. It included a grocery store visit and unfortunately I didn’t get to do it because they only do one every few weeks and it wasn’t conducive to my schedule.
I definitely would have signed up for continual months but the price was a bit to high for me

Geoff, Cara and Natasha are the best trainers. I love that they make sure to get to know every member and are always there to help throughout each person’s personal program. Since coming to Train Insane I have seen major changes in the way I look and feel. I wasn’t out of shape when I started but I sure wasn’t in the shape I am now. They push me to always try harder. No two workouts are ever alike so your body is constantly changing and adapting. The nutrition support has been great. I was already on my path to losing weight but the call with Geoff have changed the way I eat and think about food and fitness.
The fact that I am not a morning person and now get up at 5:15 AM five days a week tells me I love the program and I love the results. I would recommend Train Insane to everyone, just don’t fill up my class time. :)

Train Insane Gym is awesome!
Phenomenal staff, challenging workouts, wonderful facility, and just an overall great environment to train insane or remain the same!
I work out in spurts and am not too confident when it comes to working out. My biggest obstacle is me and being afraid I’ll fail. I’m the type who would rather not even try than fail. And, if it’s even remotely hard, forget it count me out!
Geoff, Cara, and Natasha really helped me with all of that. They’re extremely attentive, explain the workouts well, and are very encouraging. Each class has about 17 participants, so the coach to participant ratio is great. Classes begin with us «rolling out» which is a way to help with muscle recovery, warm-​up, and then the workout for the day. Daily workouts vary which keeps it interesting, fun, and challenging. During the workouts, the coaches walk around and provide feedback (e.g. how to improve our technique, words of encouragement).
The workouts, and the intensity of them were challenging but I never ever regretted a single workout there! I learned a lot, toned up, and feel stronger than ever! Now I’m ready for any workout challenge.

Went there to get a workout while I was in town. Paid the $ 15 drop in fee and was not disappointed. The staff is friendly and I felt right at home. They cater to the beginner as well as someone who has boot camp/​circuit training experience. They pack in full body movement with weight training. Be prepared to sweat!

I have been to two classes so far (the first two of three training classes before your released into the wild). Anywho… we started out with the warm up process which to me would of been beyond a regular work out, but I was ready to go and give it all I got. For someone who has not exercised like that I admit I was scared of what was to come. the trainers were great, they give plenty of information and offer the motivation I admit I need. They set you up with a meal plan and another cool extra is how you can book your gym time on their website. This isn’t one of those let me show you now your on your own, they really work with you (no matter the condition you are when you start). Just two classes in and I feel like I have truly wasted my time and money at regular gyms. Fellow Unilocalers Train Insane is the real mccoy.

Great program.
I’m an athlete at heart and so this gym is perfect for me but at the same time I haven’t truly worked out on a solid program in over a year, and a few years since any last athletic training.
They do a great job for all types of people, athletes, overweight, new moms, people that hate working out, etc. I enjoy going to their gym, each work out is planned out and they help you through the entire process. Great gym!

I am not a big gym nut. However, the time with Geoff and Aaron has helped me develop an appreciation for weight training and metcon.
The trainers at Train Insane have found a wonderful middle ground between the Crossfit workouts designed for «elite» athletes and those unaccustomed to going to the weight room in the gym (that would be me).
Being new to all this, the trainers were patient enough to go through the different stances and techniques REPEATEDLY with me until I felt comfortable enough to complete the reps on my own. Others in the session are highly helpful and encouraging.
Each of the workouts are scaled to your ability and are incrementally increased the next round on the targeted areas. It was wonderful to track my progress each week (in my notebook) as I was becoming noteably stronger and more comfortable with the exercises.
If you are looking for a safe and motivating environment to learn proper training techniques and meet your fitness goals — start at Train Insane.
Wish my new office was closer to the gym. It was a great way to kick start the day.

I never thought that I would be the type who looked forward to going to the gym; in fact my previous experiences with all things gym left me literally loathing the idea of exercise. That all changed the first day I walked into Train Insane. Instead of running on a treadmill for two hours like a hamster and never getting results, I got a butt-​kicking, one hour, complete body workout. The workouts never get boring because you never do the same one twice. And after only four weeks I had noticeable results.
One of the best parts of Train Insane is the supportive, family-​like environment. Not only are the coaches (Geoff and Aaron) totally committed to your success but so is everybody else working out with you. This support pushes you to work harder and therefore get even better results. Aaron and Geoff also provide their personal numbers to their clients something you won’t find at another gym.
Classes are capped at 15 people to ensure that each person gets the individual attention that they need and are able to finish the work out in the allotted time. This cap also provides a more intimate environment than you get at the gym and allows you to get to know everyone.
I would not be where I am today without Train Insane Gym and I highly recommend the gym to anyone who is serious about changing their life. I look forward to seeing you there!
Train insane or remain the same.

Expensive and they take your money… like $ 200 dollars that is not theres!!! I hate this place with such a passion right now. They refuse to give me my money back and I have not even been attending!!!

Geoff and Aaron are the BEST!!!
I am not a morning person, but I swear it never fails to be worth it when I can get myself out of bed at 5 in the morning: o)
Train Insane is a supportive environment where you are pushed to your full potential in a motivational and energetic way. Geoff and Aaron are fantastic trainers and incredible people to boot.
The workouts are challenging and yet empowering! Love the program and the people in it!

I cannot express how fantastic this workout program is! I’ve been training with Geoff and Aaron for about 5 months now and the results I have seen and continue to see are incredible!
My endurance and stamina in the workouts have increased immensely, and I see an amazing difference in my body — toning up, muscle definition, and my clothes fit better each day.
Train Insane is an excellent program because not only do Geoff and Aaron provide the perfect combinations of fat burning workouts, but the workout is different each day, the trainers are always there encouraging you through your workouts, and there are others around you in the class doing the workout as well! — what better support than that?
The program has a wide range of people who attend the workouts, so it is definitely tailored to all different body types and everyone’s individual goals. I highly and passionately recommend Train Insane Gym to all.

I met one of the owners, Geoff, when he was a personal trainer. I had just come out of physical therapy after a brutal motorcycle accident and all the time on the couch healing put me way out of shape. Personal training with Geoff was an incredible experience and really helped me get back on my feet physically. I came back to him a few months after my last personal training session to start up again to find out him and the other owner, Aaron, started the Train Insane Gym.
The program that Geoff and Aaron have put together for Train Insane is amazing. It’s not easy. In fact it’s very hard but it’s extremely effective. Geoff and Aaron are the best coaches to work with in the gym and they’re glad to coach you on your diet and other habits to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Working with them in a group setting gives you the benefits of personal attention and coaching from trainers and the motivation from other people in the group helping you get through the workout.
I don’t pay attention to my weight so much but I see amazing results every day when I look in the mirror. I started in September 2010 with a goal of getting in shape and my new goal in December 2011 is a six pack by summer and I’m well on the way.
PS. I drive to Train Insane from LA 2 – 3 times per week. That’s how worth it this program is.
