Strive Riverside (Bootcamp)

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Strive for 11 months and I can’t recommend this place enough! I have lost over 120lbs and over 22% body fat while coming here thus far. This place is more then a gym. It has giving me the inspiration and motivation to make extreme earth shattering life changes. Not only has it aided in my physical well being by also my mental well being. Every instructor/coach is exceptional. They have multiple locations that are each equally suburb. If you are a beginner or season athlete this place is it!! Thank you for all you do Strive!!

Fantastic experience: I've been a member of this gym for a decade now and it's so much more than just a regular gym. It's a supportive community of dedicated people who genuinely care about their clients. The workouts are tough but enjoyable, and the coaches are amazing at keeping you motivated. I've made some wonderful friends here, and if I could, I'd give it 10 stars!

Fantastic experience: I never imagined I would have a good time exercising over Zoom in my house--but these people made it happen! They are an amusing group who want to get fit but don't take themselves too seriously.

Positive experience: Incredible trainers and a great place to have an amazing workout. Wonderful members as well.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Great atmosphere, trainers really care and put in the time to get you in the right yeah to a healthy life. Strive had really changed my life.

Fantastic experience: I started with Strive on a 30 day pass and very quickly realized this was a different place then any gym I had been to in the past. All of the members and instructors have been incredibly supportive from day one and that's part of what sets Strive apart from the rest. There is always someone greeting you once you enter the studio and you always feel welcomed and comfortable there. The owners go out of their way to interact with all the members and are always changing up classes and creating challenges to keep the members engaged and motivated. They have something for everyone in the variety of classes they offer and have a fourth location opening up soon. Having multiple locations allows you to attend the location that is most convenient for you and the times of the classes offered varies as well from early morning to late evening. I highly recommend Strive to anyone looking for a place to workout that is unique and different then your average gym.

Fantastic experience: I started attending Strive in Riverside during the summer of 2018 to supplement my training for hiking in Nepal. I first used a 6 week special introductory special, then bought some punch cards, then progressed to a 2/week and finally to Unlimited! The variety of the workouts, the muscle confusion and seeing how hard I can push myself becomes addicting. I love doing the ultimate bootcamps of 3-4 hours to monitor my progress and endurance gains. If you want to just say you go to the gym and do your own workout you can do that, but I can guarantee you won't push yourself as hard or see the results in strength and musculature as you will doing the Strive method. #belikepeggy #strivestrong

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality I truly love this gym. They are much better than the big gyms because they care about my success. I was nervous and scared about going to the gym but, I feel like it's a family environment and everyone is helping/pishing you to reach your goals. I am never going back to LA FITNESS!

Fantastic experience: Since joining Strive 4 Fitness gym in May 2019, my life has been completely transformed. I have learned about my body and what works for me, and I have made new friends and built relationships with the trainers who are genuinely invested in my progress. My workouts have become more intense and I now have the motivation and discipline to push myself. I was initially intimidated by the intensity of the first class, but I was able to push through the pain and I am now 34 pounds lighter and have gained a newfound respect for myself. I am proud to be part of a gym that always has my back and I am grateful to my sister and brother-in-law for encouraging me to give it a try.

Fantastic experience: This is not just a gym, it's like a family. Everyone encourages each other and rejoices in your successes. Every class is distinct from the last and targets all parts of your body. Each instructor is amazing and provides you with the best workout every time. The best thing of all is that you leave each class wanting more and feeling confident in yourself. Shawn, Victoria, and the whole Strive team are the perfect support system. Joining Strive has been the best choice I have ever made. #BeastModeAllDay

Fantastic experience: This place is so friendly and motivating to anyone looking to make a healthy lifestyle change. Every participant is encouraging no matter where you are in your journey. The classes are often switched up and instructors are awesome!

Positive experience: All good

Fantastic experience: I joined Strive 4 Fitness on April 2018. It's not your typical gym. It is more than I expected. They have great instructors. I love the variation of classes that they offer. I highly recommend it to anyone that is looking to get healthy and fit.

Fantastic experience: I’ve just completed a seven week challenge at Strive 4 Fitness. This challenge completely changed the way I looked at working out. The trainers and the classes are upbeat and positive, after a three year lull of paying a gym membership that I never used, I tried this challenge. It was the best money I’ve ever spent. Even with high impact classes, you’re encouraged to go your own speed, you have to push yourself to get what you want, but there is no shame in going at your own pace. The classes are filled with positive people who are all in different stages of their own transformations. If you work at what you want, you can achieve your goals with these classes and workouts. Attached is a picture of me in week six, I dedicated myself to this seven weeks and it payed off. You should always keep working on yourself and this place makes you want to do it instead of it a forced feeling.

Fantastic experience: My favorite place to be. Everyone is warm and welcoming. No judgement and tons of support.

Fantastic experience: I heard about a small business/local gym that opened and was intrigued. I was looking for personal training but got so much more than I bargained for—classes that push me beyond my comfort level and are never boring, great trainers that encourage me to be better and stay accountable, and a supportive group of people that attend classes...and I am in better shape. Since they have 2 locations, it gave me more options for classes & I like that flexibility. Definitely check out Strive!!

Fantastic experience: Best fitness studio. Great variety of classes, great instructors and amazing people.

Fantastic experience: I was so worried making the decision to try their first class free option. I suffer from chronic pain, fibromyalgia and this usually can make my anxiety worse. I am not small or fit but I really want to be healthy and lose weight as this will manage my pain. I walked in last night to do the Gutz and spin class, thats where I met the instructor for that class sheena! She took the time to get to know me, she walked me through the process and then made sure I was ready and comfortable. The whole time she was watching me asking if I was ok. This felt close and personal. She made me feel at home, welcomed and cared for. She makes me want to work harder! By the end of the class, yes I actually made it! I felt so great and acomplished! This facility is clean amd well taken care of. The two staff memebers I met last night were absolutely the best. The patrons who have been there were sweet. It honestly felt like a family fighting for the same goal and helping each other along the way. I will say if you want to get on your fitness A game, try the one class. I promise you'll be hooked and ready to be a member. I know I am. I know that once I have the money, this will be my fitness family!

Fantastic experience: A year and a half into my fitness journey with Strive. Best decision Ive made. They keep workouts interesting, pushing limits and hitting goals. You gotta check them out!

Fantastic experience: I found this place thru google. I was searching for somewhere nearby to do kick boxing . I ended up going to a free trial circuit class that same week and OMG i was dripping sweat and thought i wasn't going to make it the whole hr . But i didn't give up seeing the other 3 women there giving it all they got. My legs were wobbly at the end. I felt it ALL OVER. I was very sore the next day. but a good sore , a soreness i don't get from going to the gym 4-5x a week. I signed up that same day and did a kick boxing& kettle bell class same week , AGAIN i didn't know what i was getting myself into. But i love everything about it . the burn, the exercises , they target every muscle. the instructors r great and friendly and they really push u to your limit. very thankful to have found something so close to home and have so many classes i can choose from!

Fantastic experience: Awesome workouts that really challenge you! Never boring!

Fantastic experience: Let me start out by saying: I was never a "gym" person. In a nutshell ,I have a lifetime of food issues and struggles behind me. Name a diet, I did it, name a pill, I took it and hated myself even more after I would gain back what I would lose-and then some. I always focused on food and it lead to many issues. Yes I joined a few gyms but like many, I paid for memberships that I hardly used .And when I did I would do the basic hour walking on the treadmill, maybe use a few machines and not even break a sweat. Fast forward to last fall when I just decided for the heck of it to sign up to train with Victoria .I thought I would get a trainer for 6 months, learn, and go off on my own again. Let's just say that after 6 months I was ready for more. I started taking classes along with personal training Victoria pushed me to do things that there is NO WAY I even DREAMED I would do. Something with Victoria and Shawn clicked with me and made me WANT to work out. To them I wasn't just "another member"-they actually care and want me to succeed.I learned that my past struggles were because I was going about it the wrong way: I was so focused on food that working out didn't even come to mind. Once I shifted my focus on working out, everything else fell into place. The number on the scale doesn't rule my life anymore. They have taught me so much and I continue to learn from them. I have never met 2 people with such a passion for fitness to where they make it fun and you WANT to do it. I now work out 4 days a week, 2 hours a day.If you had told me a year ago I would be doing that, I would have said that you were insane. If you want an easy way out or easy fix, Strive isn't for you. It's not "easy"-you will work hard, you will hurt, you will sometimes wonder what you got yourself into. But you WILL see results if you stick with it and it won't be because of a fad diet or pills. It will be because you are working your body, crushing goals and accomplishing things you never though possible. They have so many classes that you can try and there is something for everyone: spin, HIIT, kickboxing, yoga, kettles,etc. for every level. Every instructor is upbeat and challenges you while keeping the classes fun. As a bonus, all of the members are so supportive and you don't have to worry about it being a "clique" like so many gyms are. Every class is very much a "we are all in this together" atmosphere and you never feel like you are the "odd man out" and can't keep up because you have a class full of people cheering you on (which actually made me almost cry a few times because it was such a great feeling). You will never be bored because even if you take the same class every day, it changes and keeps you challenged. As of now, I am down almost 10% body fat and 4 pant sizes due to Strive. They have changed my life and if you give them a try they will change yours too!
