Myogenics Fitness

I have been working out with Chad at Myogenics for over a year now and the results blew me away. In the past I have done the typical 5 day a week: 45 minutes of weight lifting and 45 minutes of cardio type training and eventually quit after a year of less then beneficial results. I am a drummer and through my high intensity, once-weekly workouts at Myogenics, was able to significantly improve my playing performance, both in endurance and technique. My whole body is noticeably stronger and faster. After working with Myogenics, I found that I can take on more physical activity then I ever felt possible before. I leave the workout feeling like a warrior. Unfortunately, 3 months into my workout regimen I got into a pretty serious sport bike accident and I couldn't do conventional exercises while I recovered. Fortunately, instead of losing what I'd worked for, Chad helped me stay on task with an isometric workout that not only worked around my injuries, but I'm sure it sped up my recovery a lot. After the accident I found myself having back and neck issues (weak, unpleasant cracking, tweaked, etc). With Myogenics' neck and back/abdomen machines I have noticed a considerable amount of change in strength and have been living a lot more comfortably since we incorporated these machines into my workout!

I would recommend this 30 minute, once a week workout whether you are starved for time or have an overflow of time on your hands. It just works better.

Pros: one on one training, knowledgable, 20 minute workout

Cons: nothing to report yet

It will be 4 weeks tomorrow that I?ve been training with Scottie at Myogenics Fitness and I?m very excited about the whole process. After having my third child, I definitely wanted to get in shape, meaning, strong body, toned muscles and lean figure. My body had become flabby in way too many places and I was simply not happy with the way I looked. I like to wear tight clothes so that?s a constant reminder of how I need to keep working on myself to achieve my ideal figure. I don?t want to have the body of a body builder, but rather a perfectly toned one. That?s what I?m aiming for and already I feel a change in my body. My arms feels stronger and I notice the muscles as I move them. My stomach is getting stronger, although it?s not nearly where I want it to be and I feel my legs are starting to shape up again. I can?t quite describe it, I just feel there is something going on, and I?m completely aware of it. Scottie is a great coach, he?s simple, direct and pushes me. I like his straight forwardness and am confident that I?ll be looking better by the end of my sessions. I don?t want to disappoint myself, nor Scottie, not my husband for that matter! who is also looking forward to me getting ?my body back?. The work out is hard and I?m OK with that. I like the approach though in the sense that I?m really focusing on the muscle and of course the mental aspect. Can I really do this? And my answer is yes, and I want to make sure I make it happen for myself. I?m coupling the workout with the Zone, and definitely already feel better about myself and my body. The bottom line is that with this workout and vision of yours, I?ve been able to ?reset? myself and rethink the way I eat and take care of my body in a totally accessible and not complicated manner. And I truly believe in it. I?m super eager to see the final results.

Pros: Simple and direct

As a sleep-deprived mother of a 14-week-old and a energetic 2-year-old, it?s nearly impossible to make time to feel normal, much less make time to work-out. Myogenics is a half-hour commitment to being myself again. Caring, carrying and playing with a toddler and an infant is not for the weak. Thanks to Myogenics, I can do it all and fit into my favorite jeans four weeks after delivering my second child. No joke! Granted, I still occasionally forget to brush my teeth, but I?m firmer and stronger.

I?m also a true believer in the pre-natal benefits of Myongenics. I was able to work-out right up until the week I delivered each of my kids. It was helpful in keeping off the unnecessary pounds (did anyone else crave corn-dogs?), and in providing a strong core to help carry all those necessary pregnancy pounds. It was even incredibly helpful for managing labor pains (pre-epidural of course - I mean, I?m not crazy).

Pros: Open on Sunday, parking

Brad did a great job of training me throughout my pregnancy and adapting to my ?growing? needs. It was definitely a challenge, but I felt so great throughout my whole pregnancy. After I had my daughter he took it really slow and really made sure I was ready for the next level, weight, intensity, etc. I came back to Myogenics weeks after giving birth and I was already in great shape and I am now after only 6 months back to my original weight before having another baby. I love that it is a quick efficient, private workout that I truly enjoy. I dont have a lot of time with two kids and this workout keeps me in shape without taking hours and hours away from them.

Pros: quick,efficient, private

With a new baby and a rough recovery from a c-section, I had low energy, very little time and a desperate desire to get back in shape. Chad, Scottie and Brad quickly helped me get back to myself. Now they?re helping me through pregnancy #2 ? meaning that getting back into fighting form after this baby will be even easier.

Pros: Open 7 days, great trainers

I live in LA and work in Silicon Valley ? I?m on a plane two to five days every week, and I work at least 12 hours a day. In spite of that, I keep in shape working out just once a week at Myogenics Fitness. Thanks guys!

I lost over 50 pounds at Myogenics Fitness. I'm very busy and travel a lot, but amazed that I've still gotten great results. The trainers are 1st rate!

I have to stay in top shape for my job, but I hate gyms and working out. Myogenics Fitness has a great atmosphere ? it?s totally private, and I?m in and out fast.

I?ve had every kind of personal trainer you can imagine over the past 15 years, and I can say with authority that Myogenics is the best way to work out for anyone with a busy schedule. My workout is shorter and my results are better.

Thank you for all of your support, encouragement and knowledge. I went to buy a bathing suit for my vacation today and did not leave the dressing room in a cold sweat. This is BIG news as most women will confirm.

It has been great working with you and it turns out that sometimes there are vanity rewards that come with the health benefits!

I can honestly say my short sessions at Myogenics Fitness are far superior to all the other weight-training programs I?ve tried. And I especially appreciate the way they actually make working out enjoyable!

I have been going to Myogenics and training with Chad for two years. It is by far the best workout experience that is possible anywhere!

They do High Intensity workouts here. That means that you do not rest the weights and go through slower movements until your muscles are exhausted. It is really effective and time efficient. I work in TV production and never had time to work out. This place allows you to schedule online and the appointment takes only 20 minutes. (During this time I do a full body workout with only my personal trainer and me in the gym.

They keep it really cold so there is no sweating. So I can do the appointment on my lunch.
There are no lines, no distractions and no waiting around. I also find that it is easy to park, and sparkling clean. I am very big on efficiency and the results that I get from 20 minutes a week there are amazing. I tell people all the time that this is the only way to work out in LA.

I love this place! As a model and actress I have tried countless ways of staying in shape. The workout is quick and effective. Chad is very knowledgable and great at keeping me going through the intense slow movements.

I have had a spinal injury and a lot of workouts can leave my back out of alignment and in pain. Myogenics has machines that I have never seen before that helped me to strengthen my neck and back and I leave the workout feeling great...even along my spine!

I would recommend this workout to anyone that would like to get in shape and has limited time to do it. It is a great deal for your own private gym with a personal trainer for your work out. I find it very cost effective. There are no monthly fees, and I have two years to use up my package of workouts.

I found the nutritional guidance very helpful and realistic. They customized the advise for my dietary restrictions.

I had found previously that I would avoid other gyms because I didn't want to deal with the crowds, noise, smells, and pick up lines.

I recommend Myogenics to everyone I know.

Pros: Private, Quick Workout, High Value

Cons: I wish that they had more locations

Chad and Brad really know their stuff! This "superslow" workout increases your strength in leaps and bounds, tones and reshapes, with a commitment of 20 minutes a week! Amazing! My health numbers are really improved, too. Each session is individual..i.e. you are the only member in the facility, and are receiving one on one training. Worth every penny.

Pros: Minimal time investme, Knowledgeable staff, Great value for servi

after wasting my life going to the gym for hours at a time, my body looks and feels better after joining myogenics. i can't say enough about the short sessions (30 mins.), and i only have to go once a week. thank god. it's also one on one with the trainer so you actually get a great workout and you don't have to wait for someone else to finish up on a machine.

Pros: effective, short sessions
