Personal training in Los AngelesGet into the best shape
of your life.
For real this time.

Not all personal training
is created equal.

A lot of trainers do what we call sweaty babysitting. At TPE, your personal trainer builds a real program around your goals, tracks every session and adjusts it as you get stronger.

73%

Faster results.

Our personal training clients get results up to 73% faster than with classes alone.

The difference

Sweaty babysitting
vs. real coaching.

The research

A coach watching
builds more muscle.

The study

Researchers split 36 experienced lifters into two groups for 8 weeks. Both groups did the exact same program. One group trained with a coach watching, correcting and encouraging them every session. The other trained alone.

What happened

The coached group built more muscle in their arms and thighs, and their squat went up more.

What we learned

Same program, better results, just from having a coach in the room.

personal training.

Personal training starts with a free consult and Success Plan, and so does nutrition coaching. Five quick questions so we can match you with the right coach. Takes about two minutes.

Personal training questions

Good questions.

Can I just do personal training?

Yes. You can do personal training by itself or combine it with our group classes.

Do you offer remote personal training?

Yes. Train in person on Melrose, or remote over Zoom or FaceTime.

Is nutrition coaching included?

Yes. All personal training includes nutrition coaching and our progress tracking app.

How much does it cost?

It depends on how often you train and how much 1:1 support you want. Every new athlete gets a free 1:1 Success Session, where we build a plan that fits your goals and your budget.

Can a personal trainer help me lose weight?

Yes. Every personal training plan includes nutrition coaching, so your trainer builds your workouts and your eating plan around the goal, then tracks both every week. Fat loss, strength or both, your plan is built for you.

Do I need to be in shape to start?

Absolutely not. That is the reason you would come to us in the first place. Our certified coaches modify every session so it is right for you.
