Breakthru Fitness

Fantastic experience: Great program... my son did it for 4 years and had tremendous results.

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Breakthru for over 10 years now. It's hard to overstate how welcoming and positive the Breakthru community is. Phil is an excellent trainer with a supportive and motivational style. The new studio is clean and bright with easy parking and a great location. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Breakthru Fitness for over four years. Despite the pandemic, I have kept going through its many adaptations and I could not be happier to have stuck out with the transition of the gym. Breakthru has been a high point in my daily life. Not only is the exercise amazing, but so is the community. I love my gym family. Phil and Michelle have really worked hard to keep us in shape. I highly recommend Breakthru. Fitness!

Fantastic experience: This is where you want to train to get healthier. The trainers work with the clients individual needs and help motivate a sustainable plan of action. Thanks to Breakthru, I am getting my health back, and there's nothing more valuable than that.

Fantastic experience: Breakthru is truly an elite fitness studio. It doesn't get any better than Phil and Michelle -- and they have a friendly, fit, loyal and appreciative community of clients to prove it. Get motivated and get strong!

Fantastic experience: Super skilled, professional trainers; clean, nicely equipped studio; friendly, fun vibe. Hardcore exerciser or newcomer—I dare you not to be motivated by Coach Phil! I’ve been doing the small group training for about a year and I’ve never been in better shape or healthier mindset!

Fantastic experience: If you truly want to be fit there is no better place than BreakThru Fit. Phil is the absolute best at creating regimens and an atmosphere where you strive to push yourself in a safe and supportive environment. I have worked with trainers for 30 years in NYC, Chicago and LA and this is the best training I have ever received. If you are looking to get back into shape and gaining a true understanding of what it takes to maintain that, this is the place to be!

Fantastic experience: I love Breakthru Fit Training Studio's small group training!! Its always a great workout with lots of variety. I have always found it to be a friendly atmosphere with the right balance of challenge, support and community so you can meet your fitness goals. There are plenty of weights and equipment along with plenty of room. There's also a large outdoor patio space that is used for part of the workout. I really appreciate the opportunity to be outdoors and the variety it provides. Phil is an amazing and knowledgable trainer who always motivates you to do your best and challenge yourself. The location is super convenient, clean, bright and the parking is incredibly easy. I highly recommend Breakthru Fit Training Studio!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I've been going to Breakthru for over 10 years now. It's hard to overstate how welcoming and positive the Breakthru community is. Phil is an excellent trainer with a supportive and motivational style. The new studio is clean and bright with easy parking and a great location. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Phil Dozois is an amazing trainer. He always has a positive and upbeat attitude and makes everyone feel welcome right away. His workouts are challenging (but always with room to modify as you need), dynamic and different every time. He really listens to any aches and pains and will give you options that are best for your body. He overall is just a good human being who is kind and attentive and truly cares about your fitness and health.

Fantastic experience: Words can’t express for great fitness coach that I have had for the past 6 or more years. Phil comes with so much knowledge and experience in the fitness industry. He has helped to become stronger and the vibe in our fitness group is so energetic that keeps me going at 5:30 am. Thank you phil for being an inspiration.

Fantastic experience: Breakthru Fit is the absolute best! I have been fortunate to train with Phil now for years. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides challenging workouts on a weekly basis. He modifies based on a person’s needs and/or limitations. His new studio is clean, well stocked and has ample parking.

Fantastic experience: Instructors are amazing, really feels like a hug whenever you walk in! I’ve moved but am so addicted that I make the commute 5 days a week to go!

Fantastic experience: Came in to Breakthru after having an absolutely horrible experience at LA Fitness. I know, comparing the 2 is like comparing a Ferrari to bicycle, but Breakthru Fitness was really a GREAT gym, and I really thought about splurging and getting a membership after the week free trial. The gym is located next to Trader Joe's on the 3rd floor of a complex. There is a huge 4 level parking lot attached to this complex, so parking wasn't a problem. In this part of South Pasadena, that is a HUGE deal. Secondly, the staff at Breakthru were amazing. Not only were they super upbeat and friendly and ready to help us with any problems that we had, they did not once hassle us for being trial members or try to push us to join, even after the trial ended. Not a single phone call. For a 7-day trial, which is 3x longer than any other trial I've had at much cheaper gyms, that's a great deal. The gym itself is very spacious, and you honestly get what you pay for. There are a bunch of personal training-specific machines and a lot of fun things to play with because of the roots of the gym and their dabbling in Crossfit. Alongside the equipment, there are free towels provided, as well as bath towels and great showers in the locker rooms. The only small caveat I would have to say is that their free weight section is a little lacking. Because of their target population(older), I totally understand why that is, but it would be nice if they had a few more selections in dumbbells and barbell weights. Because of how spacious and empty the gym was though, even using their one set of weights was never an issue. Love the place, and am seriously considering getting a membership :X

Fantastic experience: I am over the moon with how friendly and welcoming both the staff and the members are and with how great and varied the classes and instructors are. The equipment is awesome and my incredibly talented trainer Mathias is helping me overcome some injuries that had me doubting I'd ever be strong again. (There's also a Trader Joes next door which is such a fab extra!) Parking is also super easy. I'm truly grateful Breakthru exists!

Positive experience: Great view to see tall mountain on the East. Mount San Antonio sits between Mount Wilson and Monrovia peak. Due to the height limitations of building in Pasadena and direction of windows, it’s very difficult to see Mt baldy here.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym. I can honestly say It has everything you need and it’s one of the friendliest, cleanest, most professional gyms I have ever worked out in.

Fantastic experience: This gym is fantastic! The facility is equipped with all essentials and the most complete functional training area I've seen. It's clean, friendly, and very accessible in terms of people flow. It's never too crowded and I always have an awesome workout.

Fantastic experience: I love this gym! It’s always clean, the staff is super friendly, and they have just about everything you need for a great workout. I’ve had memberships at several gyms such as LA Fitness, 24, and Lifetime Fitness and Lifetime is the only one that would be in the same category for me as Breakthru, especially in the atmosphere and cleanliness aspects. I am generally very critical of the gyms I work out at so if I give a gym 5 stars it’s deserved.

Negative experience: we were scammed out of $1300 from one of their trainers ANJAIN and management and the owners decided not to help or do anything about it. read the comment from their trainer when we requested the money back from the unused sessions. This place is very unprofessional and we were bait and switched ...read the comment from the trainer

Fantastic experience: Great gym. Well organized, friendly and helpful staff and owners who care. I didn’t lose a pound working out here but I did convert a lot of them to muscle :)

Fantastic experience: I love working out at Breakthru Fitness! The BTF staff is super friendly and helpful and the members seem very nice...it's a really comfortable family feeling you get there! There is a wide variety of fun group classes offered and I most enjoy the Team Training. The gym is very is clean and it doesn't hurt that it is also right next to TJs for those last minute dinner items on the way home! Special thanks to Jason who always has a way of making hard workouts a hoot with his sense of humor!

Fantastic experience: That absolute best gym in Pasadena and top gyms in all of Los Angeles!! I have been a fitness professional for many years now and what Breakthru offers is everything!!! They hit every area of fitness for every level and every age. The gym is absolutely immaculate. I have to say something about the owners. They truly care and are the legit real deal fitness leaders. Thank you Michele and Phil for all that you do!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing Gym, I visited with a friend and I have never Been treated quite like this at any other Gym I have been to. The staff are so friendly and genuine and they take the time to not only learn the names of their members but also to speak with them. You never feel like you are a bother or that they are in a rush with you. Best Gym experience I have ever had hands down. Whoever runs this place is an amazing business person and truly understands what good business is all about. If I lived in LA I would be a member here.

Fantastic experience: Clean and open gym. Not too crowded and has lots of programs for women and children. Highly recommended. FREE MEMBERSHIP if you are staying with the Dusit2 hotel down the street.

Fantastic experience: This is my second time around, and I'm enjoying it more than ever. There's a calm Zen to the gym now, maybe because there are less people when I go, but I'm glad for it. I like being able to reserve a bike for my favorite spin teacher (Dez) a day in advance, but have until 8:20 to arrive. Before there was a lot of anxiety trying to get a bike and with Elouise going to school in the opposite direction of the gym, that made my anxiety high. No more of that and the other instructors like Phil and Ally, are pretty awesome as well. But, ultimately I rejoined for the Pilates package combined with Dez. I love all the women instructors I've tried so far and the ease I've had getting into a classic class. Way to go! I'm glad to be home.

Positive experience: The instructors are excellent, but the age levels are all mixed up. There are a lot of young kids joining the older kids groups(play up) and the instructors have to play down the training to accommodate. As a result, the older kids lose interest and quit.

Fantastic experience: It's such a family atmosphere!

Negative experience: Nice facilities, but worst run gym I have ever experienced! If you want to be treated terribly and have your money stolen... by all means join Breakthru Fitness Pasadena!
