The Training Spot

My introduction to Tspot started with the Takedown Challenge which I completed earlier this year. The TD Challenge is, I hesitate to use the word diet, more a healthy eating program which introduces you to healthier eating and eating foods in the correct quantities at the correct times. One of the reasons that I like it is that its a sensible approach to food, your whole body and it takes a holistic view of how to eat while reducing weight. No fads or weird stuff, just sensible, professional advice.For me I personally lost about 14 lb in 4 weeks but the TDC gave me the skills and knowledge to take it further and I achieved my goal weight another 4 weeks later and lost a total of 24lb. More importantly it gave me the knowledge to look at foods, read and understand the labels and plan my eating making much better choices.In addition to the healthy eating they also provided the opportunity to take part in walks and their bootcamp fitness program. I highly recommend this and I train 3 times a week with a regular group of great people and it has already raised my fitness and energy levels in the short period I have been going. These are no pressure sessions that you can take part in at your own pace which I think are great.The thing is this is a change for life and not just 4 weeks. Embrace it, take control of your own life and body.

I’ve been an extremely happy TSpot client for several years. I’ve maintained this relationship because I appreciate their holistic approach to training and nutrition. The trainers are excellent and they tailor their training to the needs of each client in the semi-private sessions. My trainer, Matt Fetters, is fantastic. He understands my fitness goals and is dedicated to helping me reach them with his knowledge, guidance and encouragement. The TSpot clients are wonderful and give this gym a very user friendly and non-intimidating atmosphere. We are all there to get the most from our training sessions and often cheer and inspire each other. The nutrition plan the TSpot offers is one that is easy to follow and teaches the participants to lose weight by making better nutritional choices whether eating at home or in restaurants. Carolyn’s recipes are incredibly delicious, easy to prepare, and can be integrated in the schedule of participants who work full-time. I am truly a TSpot fan and will continue my relationship. If you are serious about making a positive change, this is the place for you.

Well, I've just completed my 3rd month as a Training Spot member and here's where I stand...Basically, I've joined a lot of gyms in my life. A lot. Equinox, 24 Hour Fitness, etc... My wife likes to call me a "Very enthusiastic gym joiner" with the implied message that I don't tend to do much more than join. It's a bit of an exaggeration but not far off the mark. I hate working out. I hate going to the gym. I hate people who like to go to the gym. But I've put on an extra 20lbs over the last ten years and was starting to get worried about how much I was huffing and puffing after playing for ten minutes with my daughter.So I signed-up and have been pretty much faithfully training with Barrett at the TS Main Street location. The result is that I'm probably in the best shape of my life already. Granted, it wasn't too high of a bar to climb over, but the fact that I've been consistently showing up and working out hard three days a week really feels like a miracle to both myself and my wife who, at first, was a little worried about the not incidental expense of group training vs. a simple gym membership. But so far we both consider it one of the best investments of my 40-something life.I think the key for anyone like myself, who wants to get in shape but just hates the mere thought of going to the gym, is that the scheduled trainer-led groups of 5 or 6 people means I have an obligation to show up. It also means that I won't just wander around casually jumping on some random machine after another, but have a focused pro showing me what to do and tracking my progress. I need that. While not "cheap", it's a much more reasonable alternative to the crazy expense of private personal training.I'm now about to embark on the month-long Takedown Challenge which is a combo nutrition/fitness/weight-loss program which I hope will help me get a little more serious about the diet portion of my regimen and drop the extra fat from my mid-section.I highly recommend the Training Spot for anyone else who wants to make a change and finally get (back) in the shape they want to be in.

This is the kind of gym everyone should have. The trainers are great, the people you work out with become some of your best friends at events and boot camps. Everyone knows everyone here and is supporting each other to become the better you. I go to their boot camps and soon will start training sessions. They kick my butt every time, but it also looks soo much better then when I started so I'm grateful for what I like to call my happy pain. I tried their Takedown challenge this September and lost 18lbs in 4 weeks, which was insane, but what's even more amazing is that I'm still going. They helped me build a better lifestyle through the challenge and what is teaches you and now I know how to make all kinds of good decisions when it comes to food and my body. I can't thank them enough and know this will be my gym for as long as I am in Huntington Beach.

My wife and I started going a month ago and we are very happy! Matt and Barrett are great professional personal trainers that have made getting healthy and in shape a good experience. We're glad we go and would recommend to anyone who doesn't like the typical gym!

The Training Spot is one of the few training gyms in Orange County that care about your body, mind and reaching your goals. This isn't a gym that just gets to sign up and pay then forgets about you. Th T-Spot trainers work hard around your bodies limitations and injuries from other activities and make sure that you are getting the maximum benefit from you time in their gym. All trainers are extremely well knowledgeable and educated in their field. I work out extremely hard and it shows! I always have complements on my arms waist and abs. And yes it feels good. once I built the muscle then next thing to do is burn the fat so the muscles can be seen. The Take Down Challenge does that in just 4 very short weeks. You not only lose 10%+ of your body fat but you also change your eating habits so it stays off. The recipes that you make at home or so good that my family not only eats them when I am on the challenge but also requests them consistently! The recipes and the way of eating is great but it would be nothing without the strong support from ALL at the T-Spot. Thinking of a place to really get in shape? Try the T-Spot. You won't be disappointed.

Great training facility. Paul and his wife run a top of the line facility. When I'm in the area this is the only place I will go to get my butt kicked. Love their staff. Great trainers. A must if you are looking for results!

I did the Take Down Challenge and lost 21 lbs in 28 days! The staff is great and always willing to help. Doing boot camps with Eric (Elika) at 8:45am has put me in great shape and I'm starting to get addicted to it!Thanks for getting me in great shape for my 50th next month.Excellent rating!Ken Kowalski

Maybe the most important thing is the t-Spot changed my life! I started almost 5 years ago because I was kinda talked into it. Sure I was fat, hurt in way too many places but hey, I was living the good life! Today I am 30 pounds lighter and in the best shape in my life (okay for the last 4 decades anyway). I have made a life commitment because I see too many of my friends "decaying" and not living. I enjoy life more because of the workout I get and the friends I have made. Thanks Diane and thanks to Paul for setting the example.

I have been attending the push fitness classes for a little over a year now and recently started private training at the The Training Spot ("T-Spot"). The staff at the "T-Spot" is one of the most genuine, caring and attentive you will encounter in the industry. I have successfully lost 45 lbs in the last year and kept it off – all thanks to the guidance, encouragement and knowledge of the "T-Spot." The nutrition program and the Take Down Challenge (“TDC”) is unlike anything else I have tried – and it can only be found at "T-Spot" – it is amazing – truly amazing – I participated in the September 2012 “TDC” and shed 20 lbs in just 28 days which kick started my current achievement in total weight loss…not to mention I made many lifelong friends. I can't say how blessed I feel to have such a wonderful group of supportive people around me especially when I am not really “feeling” up for it, and believe me, sometimes you just don’t feel up to it. I know from personal experience how hard it is to get started - but that's 97% of the battle....all you have to do is show up - you'll never say "I'm sorry I did that" about a workout at the "T-Spot" or when you attend a Push Fitness class!! One of my newly adopted life rules / sayings (provided by one of the trainers of the “T-Spot”) is "Train INSANE or remain the SAME!” I Love it and Live it! Just go for it . . . after all what have you got to lose. . . other than those pesky pounds?! - T-Spotter for Life! (Kat Rickard)
