Body Wise Fitness

Great gym and has everything you need. Very clean..Gil the owner is a very knowledgeable trainer.

The gym is clean, except for the ants crawling up and down the walls in the summer; the equipment is adequate. A radio station plays rock tunes when conditions permit; lots of the time it's just static. The owner/operator, as noted by others here, is a dower soul, very short on people-skills.

Gil Yurly knows all about weight loss and has the cleanest, most modern gym around. If you're serious about working out or losing some pounds you couldn't hope for a better environment or inspirational trainer. Do yourself a favor a check out Body Wise Fitness.

Laurel Hahn at Body Wise is the best trainer I have ever had, hands down. I have had many trainers in my life and I am VERY picky. She is extremely knowledgeable and can easily help you work around any injury you may have. She is really great at working with all types of clients. She loves her job and truly cares about her clients.Body Wise is a hidden gem. It's clean and has all the equipment you need for a great work out.

I love this gym. Small and laid back, but everything you need is here. All the equipment is in great shape, neat and clean. Not so crowded that other people are a distraction or an annoyance; everyone is friendly. Owners Gil & Laurel are really nice and helpful too.Forget the crowds & chaos. This place rocks!

I was a member at Body Wise for four years and finally left. I agree the equipment is great and the facility is clean, but how Gil runs the gym quite frankly sucks. As a manager/owner he has very poor people skills, and how he runs the gym can get very aggravating. In short, he gives preferential treatment to personal trainers and allows them (or himself) to constantly get away with violating gym rules (not putting weights away is just one example), while aggressively enforcing the same rules on regular gym members and not doing it in a polite, decent manner. I ultimately left his gym because of this aggravating b.s. If you want great equipment, a clean gym, and treated like gold when personally trained, then Body Wise is a great deal. However, if you want to be a regular member...a gym rat...be forewarned that over time you will find your participation there may become an unpleasant experience. Lastly, be aware that Gil will keep providing sales pitches to you for products that he sells as side businesses.

I have been going to Body wise for almost 4 years, it is a nice and clean facility for individual or personal training. I went there after retiring for Golf Conditioning. It has helped my golf game. I have been having personal training by the owner Gil Yurly. Gil has won awards in Natural Fitness competitions, Mr. California Natural, Mr. Baldwin Park Natural. He is patient and will to work on your level. I enjoy going to the gym 2 to 3 times a week.My son has been going there for Gil's agility training, my son is 13 and has been going there since 11. Gil's agility training has helped my son tremendously. This pat Christmas he took snow boarding lesson at Mammoth Lakes, the instructor mentioned he did really well for his first time and had really good balance. We attribute that to Gil's instruction.The Gym also offers Chiropractors, Masseuses, as well as other Trainers. It's nice to go there vs. the huge mega gyms for me.

I been working out over at body wise for about 7 weeks and OMG i been seeing major improvements not only on my looks but how i feel , big part of working out is being at gym that meets your level of fitness and i feel like this is the place for me .

I met Gil Yurly at a Made4More Men's conference last January and I decided to give him a try as a personal trainer. He is a wonderful trainer. I'm much stronger and much thinner than when I started with him. He's patient when I need him to be patient and he pushes me when I need to be pushed. If you're looking for a trainer to build strength you can't go wrong with Gil.Thanks,Mike

I have had the pleasure of working out at Body Wise Fitness under the supervision of the owner, Gil Yurley, for the past four years. When I started training, at age 75, I had never lifted a weight before, nor had the slightest idea on how to do the appropriate exercises. Thanks to Gil's patience and technical expertise, my strength has increased ~100 percent in almost all categories! And this is accomplished in two, one-hr sessions per week! My physician says that now I am in much better shape than he is, and he is probably ~15-20 years younger!Contact Gil, and he will develop a program specifically for your needs, financially and physically. In retrospect, I have absolutely no regrets about my decision to start a work-out program with the Body Wise Fitness trainers. - RJS
