The Lab Fitness Studio

Fantastic experience: The equipment used in this gym was properly sanitized and clean for the courtesy of the next users. The staff will remind you of the dos and don'ts in using the tools. Every corner had a poster for the correct usage of all the things inside the gym.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are extremely knowledgeable, highly motivated, and wonderful people to be around. I've never been to a gym with a better vibe like this. They are really amazing!

Fantastic experience: To say The Lab changed my life is an understatement. I've spent years trying to motivate myself to go to the gym, yet I always lose the drive and desire after a couple weeks (or less). The Lab changed everything I thought I knew about a gym. The size is perfect and the equipment is everything you need, but the culture and environment is what keeps me coming and thinking about the gym all day long. From the first day I walked in the door I felt welcome, safe, and wasn't intimidated by the trainers or the other members. I was new to the area, and everyone just felt like a friend. I was shocked I didn't have to wait 15 minutes for someone to finish using a machine, and I could actually plan out a workout and execute it. I never once felt like Filipe or Dylan were trying to "sell" me on classes, training, or anything else to make more money (which they easily could have). They genuinely just want to create a positive community to help you grow and enjoy the process. That environment and positive community impacted my mental health just as much as my physical health, and for that I will be forever grateful. With the highest recommendation possible to give through a Google review, The Lab has honestly shifted what I think of a gym.

Fantastic experience: The absolute best gym in Orange County! Very clean facilities, extremely knowledgable trainers and a fantastic feeling of community every time you come in!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE THIS GYM!! I started working out with Filipe many years ago. I had a specific goal in mind and he helped me lose 18 lbs in 3 1/2 months! I took a few years off to deal with life, but I had such an incredible and positive experience that when it was time for me to get back in shape for my wedding, I knew exactly where I wanted to train. I have been training with Filipe ever since! All of the employees are very supportive and friendly - especially Dylan! I can honestly say that Filipe genuinely cares for his clients and has worked with me through EVERY obstacle I have come across over the years. When I lacked in knowledge about exercises or muscles, he taught me correct posture and a variety of exercises I could do based on the equipment I had available to me at home. He even drafted a customized workout plan for the days I was not working with him. When I lacked in knowledge about the right foods to eat, he wrote me a nutrition plan and gave me several recipes to try out. He taught me portion control, food prep, and most importantly, self-discipline. He even answered several questions I had about diet fads and myths. When I lacked in time, he worked with my schedule to find a time that worked or a trainer that could fill in. He also gave me great suggestions on how I could get in extra cardio in on my busiest days. When I lacked in money, he worked with me on scheduling frequency, and offered several cheaper options such as group training classes. When I lacked in motivation, he provided me the pep talks I needed to reach my fullest potential, created new and innovative exercises to keep me engaged and gave me the mental push to stay on track with my goals. I cannot say enough great things about The Lab and how the training has changed my life and helped me live a healthier life style. It is DEFINITELY worth the money! Like most people, it is difficult for me to drag myself to the gym. It has always been something I struggled with, but Filipe's enthusiasm and obvious passion for his job makes working out more enjoyable. He is incredibly knowledgeable and dedicated to ALL of his clients. Overall, Filipe has a great heart and provides an amazing service! Best choice I have ever made! Anyone who knows him will tell you the same.

Fantastic experience: The trainers are so good at customizing each session to suit each client’s particular needs. Filipe has made me feel strong and confident as he gradually increases the difficulty of my workout to quickly and painlessly give me the results I desire. I’ve never been an active person, but now I find myself looking forward to my time at the gym. Everyone should find themselves a personal trainer like the guys at Lab, it makes all the difference. I finally understand why athletic people are athletic.

Positive experience: very clean gym with some instructors that gives good advice

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out with Filipe for over 8 years. He has always been a great trainer, encouraging when I’ve needed a push, and responsive to my goals and needs. He is the nicest guy and will bend over backward to help you. He has become more than just a trainer—I’m proud to call him my friend. He works me hard, but I always have a great time. His facility is clean and well-maintained. I love working out there and the trainers have been nothing but kind. The rates they charge are incredibly reasonable compared to what you get charged at bigger retail fitness facilities. I live in Huntington Beach and drive out in my minivan to Orange weekly to work out there. Give the Lab a try and you won’t regret the results!!! Don’t let an anonymous internet troll scare you away from a healthier lifestyle!
