Fitness Concepts Transformation Center

Ordered a detox supplement and never received the product. I called. .I emailed. .left messages with no reply back. I’m on a mass email list and replied to it regarding this product. The person said she would help me. .I forwarded her the copy of my receipt and she confirmed that she received it. She stated that she would get back to me and I haven’t heard from her in 2 months. My order was placed in September 2014.

hi. in reading your posts you make reference to being a doctor. are you a doctor of chiropractic then and I tried to see if you’re certified but no record is found? how can I verify your credentials? thx

I did my 6 Week transformation between September and October 2014. In that time I lost a total of 28 pounds. I started out at 209 and ended up an 181. My body fat percentage at 209 pounds was 29%. By the time I ended 6 weeks later, I was at 22%. It’s now the day after Christmas and I’ve dropped to 19% even though I only did the first challenge. This camp has taught me how to lead a healthier lifestyle.
I did this Challenge with my wife. We are both foodies and loved to eat! When I found out about the camp, Sam immediately signed us up at the orientation because he said couples provided a support system that often resulted in the best chances for success. I didn’t completely understand how that applied at first, but by the end of the Challenge, he was so right. My wife and I actually came out of this with a better relationship, more respect, and a mutual passion for being healthy and helping others find success. We have unintentionally inspired thousands of people just by posting our experiences and successes on Facebook.
My wife lost 19 pounds. She was so close to the 20 pound mark. But proportional to her height, she had less weight to lose and women actually don’t lose weight as quickly as men. Even though she wasn’t successful as a 6 Week Challenger, the Camp still refunded a partial amount of money which was very generous as what they taught us for those 6 weeks was more than worth the amount of money we paid. We are now monthly members and have paid for an entire year.
I now know how to eat properly and even given a situation where I might not be completely FTDI, i.e. holiday meals or going out with friends, atleast I know how to make healthier choices. These were all things foreign to me just a few months ago.
One thing I’d like to mention to anyone considering this program, if you’re serious about following the damn instructions to a «t», you WILL achieve amazing results. But if you cheat here and there, don’t drink the gallon of water a day, don’t work out regularly, or complain about not liking this food or that food, then you are better off finding another exercise program. Having experienced the Challenge and then seen the next Challenge from a supporting point of view, it was obvious from the start who was going to lose the weight and who would fail. Those that followed the program lost the weight, those that didn’t might have lost inches, but didn’t lose pounds.
The Camp is an amazing place. The trainers are wonderful, Sam and Alejandra are the nicest people around. We have developed friendships with the campers, our AFF (Amazing Fit Family) that makes us want to keep coming back for more!
One final thing. Before the camp, I spent years trying to lose weight. I had high blood pressure and took medication. I was pre diabetic. My doctor had warned me for years that I better exercise and make diet changes in my life but I never took it seriously. It was too difficult, too much work. I tried going on walks but was always out of breath. After the camp, I no longer need high blood pressure medication. My blood pressure is considered «optimal». I participated in a Spartan Sprint in Malibu! I actually prefer to take the stairs whenever possible. I actually love to walk. I love to drink water. I love to see myself in the mirror each day. I love taking pictures of my wife and I. I love seeing that I don’t have to always choose black clothes to look slimmer. I can wear any color now and be happy. I love knowing that my clothes are loose and that I need to buy more form fitting clothing. The Transformation Center truly is a life altering experience. By the way, I do not work for the camp, but you can come visit me and my wife at the 9AM workouts in Anaheim, and I’ll be glad to talk more about the camp and show you what makes it so amazing.

I did my 6 weeks challenge and I lost a total of 25 lbs. the trainers here are very professional and they will keep pushing you to your limit. After 6 weeks, I can totally see the changes in my body and my minds set. Nothing is impossible if you put your heart to it. Thank you The camp for the challenge.

So I have nothing but nice things to say about this place and staff. The workouts are always challenging and different, the staff is very encouraging, and they’re all about results. You will definitely get your new body with regular attendance and staying on the meal plan. If you come to this gym with an excuse it’s best to own up asap. You won’t get any pity. Probably because they’ve heard every excuse in the book. I took the six weeks challenge and I’m amazed at my results. I nearly quit but the staff insisted I get back into the gym and they’d help me continue to get to goal. And boy did they. They drafted me a new meal plan but the rest was all me actually showing up to class for boot camp. Good thing the classes were unlimited. I’ve read all the negative reviews. Seems as though they don’t offer Groupon anymore. That resolves much of those complaints. To all the people saying bad things about this staff, look in the mirror and ask yourself are you trying and doing your part or are you a person that complains about every aspect of your life because you’re never at fault. They are busy training so stop calling and just show up in person like I did. Don’t use the phone as another excuse to sit on the couch. To all the people wanting to do the six week challenge. Make sure you have the time and determination to complete it and see it through. Not sure what happens if you don’t make goal but I’m sure you’ll feel better when you do hit goal. But one thing is absolutely for certain, «you will get the results» if you stick to the plan they lay out. My photos are proof. Let me leave you with this. Imagine the transformation center is your college and instead of getting degree for attendance and work, at the end of the course you get a brand new body. That’s all it takes, just sign up and go to class and you’ll be at your idea weight and body in no time. P. S. Thanks Sam for the support and encouragement.

I had a great experience at Fitness Concepts. The 6 week challenge was just what I needed to start eating better and while getting in shape with strong support and accountability. After losing over 20 lbs in 6 weeks; I can now say that I have established a healthy workout schedule, healthy diet and a improved quality of life.
Thanks everyone at Fitness Concepts!

I called to inquire about this deal and I left a message. Approximately 2 weeks later I got a call back from a girl (forgot her name) but I asked her a few questions. She became irritated and said, «Ummmm, I am very busy. Do you know how many people call here? «
Me «click»
So glad I checked the reviews.
Sticking with CF and Paleo and nice people.

Very nice people did challenge and lost 22 lbs love trainer Valerie. They go out of their way to help you. Just do what they tell you and you will lose the weight follow the meal plan and the fitness and you will be fine.

I have been saying that I want to get in shape for at least 3 years now. In the past I’ve lost about 20 – 25 lbs once before but just got skinnier. For a while absolutely nothing would motivate me not even hating what I saw in the mirror or being disappointed that I couldn’t wear my favorite clothes. Food was my comfort even tho I wasn’t comfortable with my own body. The 6 week challenge was what I needed to finally motivate me. The environment of this gym makes all the difference. Stephen my personal trainer was very thorough, informative and attentive. For the 1^st time I feel strong and see muscle tone. The boot camps were also very motivating with instructors that won’t let you quit. The science behind these workouts guarantee results. I’m a hairstylist and all of my clients and co workers have been asking what I’ve been doing. Instantly they all look up this gym in their phones. Feels good to now inspire others! Thank you fitness concepts! Go to
to change your life!

This was the worst and most unprofessional gym I’ve ever been to. I would like to warn everyone to please make sure you attend orientation and read the fine print to all his rules he makes up along the way just to keep everyone’s money! I’m disappointed on how he handle the situation when he was at fault for not making sure I attended an orientation in regards to all his little rules! I will not be recommending anyone to fitness concepts!
He made me wait 1 month after losing the 20lbs to get my money back.

I’ve been unhappy with my weight gain for a few years now. I couldn’t find the motivation and was full of excuses. Of course when I first heard about the six week challenge I was a little skeptical. I didn’t think it was possible for me to lose 20 pounds in six weeks. But once I got my meal plan and schedule, I finally realized that I needed to take action if I wanted to see a change. I worked hard for six weeks and followed all instructions. And I’m very happy to report I lost 20 pounds and so many inches all over. I feel stronger and much more motivated to keep going.
This program is amazing. I would recommended it to anyone who has 20+ pounds to lose. I was lucky enough to have support at home. But the support I felt at the camp made it so much easier to come in every day and work hard. Everyone is very nice and encouraging. The bootcamp instructors are very helpful and the workout are great. My trainer Steven was awesome! It is such a welcoming environment, from the staff to everyone working out. I have never felt that comfortable at any gym.
I’m really great full for this opportunity and hope to continue everything I’ve learned here.

Usually I don’t do Unilocal review but I really have to give this place a 5 stars for their outstanding business ethnic and delivery what’s promised.
6 weeks ago I signed up for their 20lbs challenge. At first, I was very skeptical because no one would do for you for free. There is no free lunch right? So I assume it’s «free» to enter but if you need to use equipment, trainer, etc, you need to pay extra for it. But I was wrong, not only everything in the facility is free to use, all the trainers are sincere and helpful. Their goal is to get to where you want to be, money is not their first priority.
I highly recommended this place if you have a desire to be healthy, want to lose few lbs and needs someone to give you some proper knowledge on fitness and also help you push toward your goal. This is the place to be!

Today Sam once again harassed me. Sam every single time you contact me or harass me I will continue to put you on the spot light. Seriously a man your age and running a so call «successful business» should have a little more class. Is sad that people consider you a mentor and a fitness professional cause you are a long long shot from that. I’m surprise you even made it through college. People please stay away from here his business ethics and fitness concept is not something yo

Well… I honestly have nothing but amazing things to say about Fitness Concepts!
I started my 6 week challenge (both my husband and I did it together) on Jan 6,2014. From that day forward my life has completely changed!
About a week before you start your body transformation (and boy is it a serious transformation) you meet with Sam and he gives your «blue print» meal plan that you will now be eating for the next 6 weeks every single day! (I’ve learned consistency
is the key) and you also weigh-​in. He’s VERY honest, straight forward, BUT here to help you meet your goal every single step of the way!
Day 1 of personal training with THEE best trainer I could have asked for, Andy P was definitely a challenge in it’s own. You have your team (which is usually about 4 people total so your not alone working out) 30 min of weight training, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, followed by 30 min of cardio. The nice thing about getting a trainer is you get to ask questions, learn how to lift properly, and they help push you!
Bootcamp– since I lived not so close to chino hills Sam offered me to go to bootcamp closer to home 2 – 4 days a week. Reason I say 4 is cuz Saturdays and Sundays are optional. I attended both Rancho Cucamonga with George, and Fontana with Travis and Tim. Talk about a great workout!!! You never leave there not sweating and feeling great! The trainers are constantly walking around motivating you, and correcting you if your doing anything wrong.
These last 6 weeks I’ve worked my butt off to hit my goal. No one ever said it was going to be easy but it was damn worth it.
My final weigh in is on Monday Feb 17^th and as of now I’ve lost 33 pounds!!! It really works! This program is AMAZING!!!
I would recommend this for anyone who’s looking to lose 20 pounds or more!
I want to thank all the staff at Fitness Concepts. Without them I wouldn’t have made it through my workouts! And to Sam for giving me this opportunity to jump start my new life! I’m happy with the way things turned out.

This gym has helped me lose so much weight. I joined the 6-​week transformation program and lost 20.2 lbs. I joined a second challenge and have lost an additional
11 lbs. I have one more week left. If I don’t get to my goal of 40 lbs I will not get my money back ($ 497). An investment of $ 497 might sound like a lot but I am getting results and I feel great. Plus this is my second challenge, which means that if I lose, I still got 12 weeks of boot camp and personal training for $ 497. To me this is a great deal. Personal training would cost more at another facility. People should not complain about not losing weight if they are not following the nutrition plan. People need to grow up and stop playing the blaming game that is so childish. It is a smart idea to keep tract of the weight lost, because you will hit a plateau and need to change diet or do more cardio to continue losing weight.
If you have ZERO self control and are the type of person that eats junk there is NO eating plan or diet that will work. You need to change your mentality to be able to lose 20 lbs in 6 weeks. So if you are not ready to make a commitment don’t do a 6 week challenge. This gym does offer other programs.
People that like to blame others for being fat maybe should stay away from this place.
Life is not easy. Deal with it! This place definitely builds character and gets you results. It works if you eat clean which requires thought and planning of meals. If you eat like a pig, you will have negative results (duh).

This place is changing lives for the better. I cannot say enough about how much these people care about fitness and KNOW about fitness. I came in with a kinesiology BS an nothing is more annoying than listening to people talk about fitness and the body when they have no idea. This place didn’t annoy me one bit! Everyone knows there craft and executes it professionally. The trainers are there for you at all times, with mine texting me, messaging me if I’m doing good, working out, staying on track. It’s over and beyond what they need to do and it’s appreciated. I’m already down 33 lbs, and I can’t wait to keep going. Sam the owner is always on top of his game and will push you to become the person you want to be. That being said, if you do not wish to be «pushed» to your limits or willing to put in work, than this is probably not for you. If you are, then you will see results and thrive. I’m getting married and my bridesmaids have even joined on after seeing my transformation.
Best fitness place I have ever been too and the greatest results

Fitness Concepts Rocks!
I had only been going to boot camp for 5 months when I heard about the 6 week Challenge. I had became so addicted to working out and I had fallen in love with the process of getting fit and healthy. I lost 20 lbs on my own and got off my diabetic meds. I was so ready for more so I took on the 6 week challenge.
I had no idea how this would transform me both mentally and physically. It’s a program for people who are serious about making an investment in themselves. It’s a non negotiable dedication to 42 days of personal training, boot camp and nutrition. There is no room for excuses or pity parties. Well I learned soooo much about myself, I built muscle, and lost 24lbs! The inches melted and I went from size ¹⁸⁄₂₀ to size 14! So I decided to do it again :)
I love seeing all the happy people when I walk into the gym at 6am every morning. My Trainer Valerie is Awesome. She made training fun and showed me how much I could do even when I didn’t think so. Xavier made time to hear how I was doing good and bad. He made sure to motivate, encourage and reassure me when I would get frustrated with myself. Sam does not put up with whining or excuses. He was able to push me out of the comfort zone that has kept me fat.
I am so happy they believed in me until I could believe in myself :) I’m hooked on my new active lifestyle!

I LOVE Fitness Concepts! I started with FC on a Group-​on. I never had any problems with them. It tells you what you have to do to get started! (I guess people don’t know how to follow the directions). Anyways, I fell in love with this place.
I have spent A LOT of money on personal trainers at big chain gyms in the past and had never gotten any results. I was lucky if I even got a workout. They literally take your money and run. I had lost faith in personal trainers.
This place is different. You actually get to talk to the people that have done the challenge before. The pictures on the walls are actual clients that have lost the weight and you will see them working out at FC.
I decided to take their 6 week challenge. IT COMPLETELY CHANGED MY LIFE! Despite the fact that I have a herniated disk, had surgery on my knee, had torn some ligaments in my ankle ½ through the challenge and had to be on crutches. I lost 22.5lbs in 6 weeks!
It’s all hard work and dedication! If you don’t lose the weight is because you were not following the program. You can’t expect to eat Pizza or McDonald’s and lose weight. Sam gives you everything you need! Sam and his trainers are always there for you. They always respond to text or phone calls regardless if its night, early morning or weekends. Sam and my trainer (Valerie) always called or texted me to check in on me. They will bend backward to get you results!
I am so grateful for everything that they have and continue to do for me! I am slimmer, stronger and most importantly I AM HEALTHIER! I no longer have the constant back pain that comes with a herniated disk. I feel like I was given a new life. I can now enjoy things that I couldn’t before. And guess what… at the end of my challenge I GOT MY MONEY BACK!
So don’t believe the negative comments that are posted on here. PLEASE… do yourself a favor and try it for yourself! Make your own opinion. I will warn you that if you are looking for that «miracle weight loss pill»…this might not be the place for you. They do not blow smoke up your arse. They are very straight forward. They get you the results you want!

Fitness Concepts is an amazing facility. I lost over 14 pounds during the 6 week challenge. I didn’t make the 20llb goal but that was entirely my fault. Sam was there for me every step of the way. My trainer Steve was an amazing motivator and knew his stuff.
I had an ankle injury (not due to working out)
and Sam was very supportive and waited for me to be ready to start over. I am now training with Adam and having a blast whole getting fit.
I know what I need to do in order to lose weight and that is thanks to Sam. His diets are customize since three of my good friends are transformers and their diets are all different.
Yes, Sam’s views can be seen as unorthodox, but I have known him for over 7 years and he is an extremely caring person. I have the privilege of knowing him personally and not only does he care about his clients, he is a great father to his two daughters and loves his wife immensely.
It’s such a shame to see the negative posts because if one didn’t lose the 20 lbs it was entirely their fault. Weight loss is such a personal thing and we want a magic pill. Well there is none! Only exercise and diet will make you lose weight.

First of all I’d like to say that when I initially started this I thought to myself there has to be some sort of scam going on here. How does a business offer a «free» 6 week weight loss challenge but you have to give a $ 497 downpayment and lose 20+lbs in order to get the money back (therefore making it free)?
I fed into it because I needed to lose at more than 60 lbs and knew that consistent workouts and eating right would help jumpstart my weight loss goals. I figured I’d do this once get my money back and then continue to work out and eat healthy to continue losing weight.
I met with the trainer Sam initially to discuss my «meal plan» which was supposed to customized (and wasn’t) for the next 6 weeks I was to drink 4 protein shakes a day, plain oatmeal, 2 egg whites, brown rice, grilled chicken breast, broccoli, and almonds, and white fish and asparagus. On top of that I was to take a fat burning supplement, and a super pump and amino acid recovery mixture. This was basically the same meal plan for every single one of the clients who joined the challenge. With a few minor changes to each. Sam had no clue how to accommodate the clients who had allergies or didn’t eat certain things (there were a few in the challenge who were vegan, all he had them eating was protein shakes and lots of tofu).
I began the challenge almost a week early and did everything I was told to do, I worked out MONDAY-​SATURDAY, sometimes twice in one day, and on my own on SUNDAYS. Everything I was told to eat and when to eat it I ate. My entire family was impressed with how dedicated I was, I was ready to jumpstart my fitness goals with this challenge. We had a Facebook group which was very motivational, I enjoyed conversing with the people doing the challenge with me. 2 Weeks went by and I hadn’t lost any pounds, I had lost almost 8 inches in my entire body but my weight was still the same, I asked Sam about it and he told me to keep working hard, weight loss was not linear, blah blah blah. After not losing the 3 week I went back to Sam to «readjust my food plan» at this point Sam was making me eat 2 additional cups of brown rice a day through out the day. This caused me to gain weight, so I stopped eating the brown rice and just continued with the original routine.
I didn’t complain because the people that did complain got chewed out and cussed out basically. Sam goes on rants on his Facebook page about whoever was complaining about the weight loss, trainers, and/​or exercises. He’s rude, arrogant, and completely into himself for NO reason. We were supposed to work out with a trainer three times a week for 30 minutes and our trainer always finished 5 – 10 minutes before the allotted time was up. The bootcamp trainers I never had an issue with, in fact they were more encouraging than my personal trainer and Sam. They pushed me to work hard and even notice the amazing results.
As I said before my issue isn’t with any of the trainers specifically, or the people that participated in the challenge with me, they were in fact very motivating and wonderful people. There were many that actually lost the weight but as an intelligent educated person I know that EVERYONES BODY IS DIFFERENT. In my case I didn’t lose weight but my before and after pictures are amazing. Inches were lost even though pounds weren’t. Sam didn’t even recognize me when he was looking for my before pic. The paperwork I signed said that you were required to «lose 20 lbs or have a significant change in appearance» and even though I only lost 4 pounds I definitely had a significant change in appearance and they refused to refund my money, in fact Sam called me a sore loser and basically threatened me via Text like a short man would.
I would NEVER EVER EVER recommend this place to any of my family or friends, and I sincerely apologize to all the trainers who work with this man for everything they’ve gone through with him, he is indeed the shortest asshole I know.
