Fitness and Fuel LA

"I found Byron and Whitney as I was turning 43 and felt blah. I had a strong weight training background and years of personal training at Equinox, but I had taken some time off and wasn't thrilled to rejoin Equinox. I am so glad I took the leap! Almost 8 months in now, 2 days a week, and I am feeling great and seeing results. I have mainly worked with Byron, however Whitney has trained me a couple times and was my initial contact when I reached out. I was very impressed with the detail that was given to learning about my likes/dislikes/previous training/injuries/eating habits/goals, etc before we started. These two really know what they are doing! (not the case with all trainers). They are focused on form and preventing injuries. The difference I have noticed from my prior training experience is what has made all the difference. I have perfected my form in ways I have never been taught previously! Never did I know my trapezius muscles were working during much of my upper body training, leading to rounded shoulders and tightness. I can now work other parts of my back I was never able to and feel so much better. They teach an awesome home workout to compliment the in person training, which has made a huge difference in my waistline and core strength. They stress rolling out between your workouts, and teach you the correct way to do it! Whitney and Byron have helped me with my diet habits and I've learned great meal prepping tools that I am finally using. They really live what they teach and that has been an inspiration to me too. I highly recommend taking the leap."

"Amazing! Thanks to the help of Byron— who not only showed me how to workout, but diet as well, I was able to go from 34% body fat to 20% within a year! Within that year, I gained 11 pounds of muscle and lost about 30 pounds of fat. They make working out feel simple, yet they still manage to keep it challenging and the results show it. Byron and Whitney are amazing trainers, but even better people, and I’d recommend them to anyone trying to get into fitness!"

"If you’re reading this review that probably means you’re trying to find the right trainer for you to achieve your fitness goals - PLEASE stop searching and sign up and Byron and Whitney. Working with them is the first time I have ever seen such great results. In under 3 months I put on close to 9 pounds of lean muscle and saw myself getting so much stronger each session. The workouts and diet are tailor made to specifically who you are and what works for you - and I know that sounds cliche but with this kind of one on one training, it can’t get more personalized. I trained with Byron who is so great to train with but both Whitney and Byron work together to make sure each of their clients is on track to be successful. Such a fun place to work out - they’re funny and caring (and Whitney makes some bomb healthy protein desserts too lol) and they are just really invested in you. If I could, I would work out with them 5 days a week all year round! Hope I can be back in the gym with them soon. Stop thinking and sign up!"

"I discovered Byron & Whitney after vigorously searching for top-notch personal trainers in Marina del Rey — and I am SO glad I found them! Within just a few hours after emailing, Byron called me to inquire about my fitness goals and tell me how the program works. At the end of our call, he had me fill out a detailed questionnaire to understand my health history, fitness background, past injuries, eating habits, etc. Unlike most personal trainers, Byron took the time upfront to learn about my body and health habits BEFORE signing me on, which put my anxieties at ease. I spent the next 8+ months working out with Byron 3x week—and it was one of the best investments in my health I’ve ever made. He built a custom workout plan that drove REAL RESULTS. I gained 6.9lbs of muscle, 4” to my chest, and 1.5” to my biceps. I lost 5.9lbs of fat, 2” off my waist, and decreased my body fat by 3.3%. I’ve TRULY never felt more confident in my body. Beyond the programs, Byron is an amazing communicator. He was always on top of scheduling and accommodated my share of last-minute work conflicts. During our sessions, he kept my form in check to ensure I was learning exercises correctly (and safely). He always made me feel comfortable when I had questions or when I couldn’t quite get a certain exercise down. Byron & Whitney have built one of the best personal training gyms in Los Angeles. It’s a welcoming environment for all experience levels with top-notch equipment to reach your fitness goals, from free-weights to Pilates to cardio. They also keep the gym space and equipment incredibly clean. Byron & Whitney are the BEST OF THE BEST! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-tier personal training in Los Angeles. Give them a call. Your body will thank you!!"

"I worked with Whitney to get into wedding shape. As a former athlete, I had taken to corporate life with the food and weight that comes with a desk job. I was at my heaviest and had heartburn due to the weight. Within 3 months, I dropped around 20lb and moved from 37% body fat to a healthy 25% -- my heartburn went away and I could fit my old clothes again! More importantly, I was stronger and had a good foundation for weight lifting. Everything just fit better due to the lean muscle. She truly is a miracle worker (because if she can deal with my lazy ass ;), she must be). She genuinely cares about her clients - she checked in during the week, and made sure I was learning healthy, lifelong habits. Thanks Whitney!!! You are the best!"
