The Strength Code Toluca Lake

Fantastic experience: I LOVE InForm Fitness. I've been doing slow motion strength training for the past 7 years and when I moved to LA I was nervous I wouldn't find a gym I liked as much as the one in Chicago, I was pleasantly surprised. This is by far my favorite gym!! The trainers are fantastic! They are passionate about fitness, extremely knowledgeable, and fun! My trainer, Joseph Altamirano, always encourages me with comparisons to "Katniss Everdeen" and "Michelle Rodrigues." I am a very thin girl and it feels amazing to be so strong!! I have trouble lifting at regular (non-slow) gyms because I am so small. But at InForm, all the machienes have seat belts and are adjusted to your body to correctly target the muscles being worked. I absolutely recommend this gym to anyone looking to loose fat and build muscle.

Fantastic experience: Inform Fitness and the Power of 10 workout has challenged and changed the way I workout forever! I have been working out at the Toluca Lake studio for almost two years now and have seen my body transform into a stronger, more toned version of my former self! And I love it! With help from ALL of their wonderful, experienced trainers I have learned what it means to safely build muscle and get a full body workout in about 20 minutes. There is no better workout for my busy schedule and the staff is so warm and amazing that I always feel like I am going home! I recommend Inform Fitness to everyone and especially those who are interested in a method that really works and can be tailored specifically to your needs and lifestyle. Inform Toluca Lake Rocks!!!

Fantastic experience: Great fitness program. Once a week workout with a private trainer for 30 minutes. I love all the trainers there and the workout is fantastic! They follow the power of 10 method--Maximum weight at a very S-L-O-W pace. Makes a huge difference in my fitness!

Fantastic experience: Joe is absolutely amazing. He is extremely professional and always made me feel welcomed and comfortable with my environment. He constantly reminded me of my goals while in the middle of my workouts to motivate me to push myself further, and it always worked. I got to take six classes with Joe and felt as though I could see results after the second, especially in my legs and back. I would recommend trying it out, even if it's just once, to experience what your own body is capable of. You'll be pleasantly surprised.

Fantastic experience: I don't live in Los Angeles but while visiting recently I had the opportunity to stop by InForm Fitness Toluca Lake and be brought through a workout under the guidance of Sheila and Ann. I was familiar with the Power of 10 concept - strength training in very slow motion - and had actually been practicing it on my own at home with free weights. So I was excited to get into a real gym studio and go through the workout on the amazing equipment and under the expert guidance of a personal trainer. So what was it like? The most appropriate words are things like OMG and holy ****. The workout is billed as a 20 minute, once-a-week program. But think about it. If that is going to really work it better be some workout. And it is. I have been lifting weights for many years in the traditional manner and like I said been attempting to practice Power of 10 on my own. But I have NEVER experienced anything like this and you are going to find out pretty quickly that you never have either. Traditional weight training dogma says workout and then rest for at least 48 hours before the next one to allow your muscles time to recover and grow stronger. This one says workout and then rest for a week . . . and you are going to find out somewhere about 30-60 in to the first machine that you are going to need that. And once you have gone through the whole workout - total body - you are just going to know that your body has never experienced anything like it. Never have I felt my muscles worked so deeply, but as the promotions say, also so efficiently. 20 minutes, once-a-week, it's true. But that's not because it is the skimpiest workout you've ever done in your life, it's because it is the deepest and most effective for building muscle possible. What's more, enough cannot be said about the high-end equipment. Designed to work with the natural movements of your body, and reduce the stress on joints to essentially nothing . . . you can just feel how effectively only your muscles are targeted and worked and you will not be icing joints or swelling, etc. You'll be saying, OMG what an amazing workout. Enough also cannot be said about the trainers. I knew they were paying attention to my every movement the entire time and making sure I was getting the absolute most out of it and staying safe. You simply will not get this kind of a workout, this level of training equipment and this level of attention anywhere else. My only complaint is that I cannot come back every week since there is not an InForm Fitness in my area (Las Vegas). So if you live in LA, or somehwere like Burbank, West Hollywod, etc. that is close by, do yourself and your body a favor and take advantage. This place is truly amazing and really will change your life and the way you think about exercise, no matter who you are, how old, how youn or your level of training experience.

Fantastic experience: Ann has been my trainer for almost 9 years here. I can’t say enough about her commitment and passion for her clients. She is just awesome. I’ve seen amazing results in my body, mind and overall health since I started my workouts. Do yourself a big favor and book an appointment with Ann.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: My trainer is awesome the owner of the gym is awesome. Strength Code is close by, convenient and super clean.

Fantastic experience: Sheila is the best trainer and pushes you beyond what you think you can do. She always seems to find an extra rep or two when you think you are done.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Personable, attentive, genuine and very knowledgeable trainers. The only workout I look forward to! Love the results and feeling in tune with my body.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I love training with Joe! He makes the quick, but intense, workout fun!

Fantastic experience: My trainer was amazingly motivating. Place was clean and not crowded! Love it!

Fantastic experience: I had my first session this week with Jon. The body analysis was very interesting and informative. The work out was amazing and I felt amazing when I left our session. I felt like I had been stretched and loosened up like I just received a massage and a good soak in a hot tub. I’ve been under a good amount of stress and it was all left on the workout room floor. I definitely felt a body and mind shift as I drove home. I bought my membership! . . . . mic-drop!

Fantastic experience: This is a fantastic routine! It is done in a fraction of the time and cost of any other, but with far better results. The trainers are professional, helpful, and expert at what they do. I’ve been working out at the Strength Code for five years and can’t recommend it highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality Great motivators, and I like the philosophy of slow workout to muscle fatigue.

Fantastic experience: Great gym and service.

Fantastic experience: It's a good system, everyone is devoted, friendly and knowledgeable and I am getting really great results!! I would recommend this method over everything I have ever done. great place.

Fantastic experience: I love the workouts. My trainer encourages me the entire time so l can get the job done. Can't wait to get back.

Fantastic experience: It was good to have the personal attention and to understand why I was doing what I was doing!

Fantastic experience: Love the one on one training and the once a week 30 minute workout. Iys like doing 1 hr workouts 3x/week at the gym!

Fantastic experience: Sheila is awesome!! I love their once a week work out to build strength, all guided by a trainer (every time) to ensure safety and results. It's a challenging work out, but an easy system with proven results...you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Equipment is top notch and the trainers ( ours is Jonathan B) are excellent. This is a unique form of weight training that lasts just 30 minutes but the benefit is better than a full hour of a typical weight training session.

Fantastic experience: BEEN GOING FOR YEARS. ANN MY TRAINER IS THE BEST AND KNOWS HER STUFF.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Sheila is so great! This place is really great! Workouts are soooo good!!

Fantastic experience: The Strength Code system is the most effective and most enjoyable way to tone and strengthen the body at any age. I love it!

Fantastic experience: The Strength Code is a very clean low key gym. Not overcrowded and great machines! The trainers are all super friendly and are in strong physical shape themselves! If you are looking for incredible one on one "strength" instruction this is the place for you! They will help you meet and exceed your performance level goals! I am a believer- I have been going to this gym for 15 months now! Love the latest improvements too!

Fantastic experience: FINALLY I have a place to tone up and lose fat that doesn't take up all of my time or make me exhausted. I am not a "go to the gym" kind of person but the intimacy of the one-on-one trainer experience at the Strength Code is awesome. I feel 100% supported by my amazing trainer, Wendy, who understands my body and has actually helped reduce my back pain since working out with her. I've also worked with Sheila who is awesome. My husband works out with Ann. The entire team of trainers are the most professional, attentive and supportive group of people. AND it's only once a week (or twice if you're super motivated). If you hate working out but want to tone up and slim down this is your place.

Fantastic experience: Thanks to a dear friend I discovered this exhilarating gym at age 75 and became hooked. Now at 77 I feel younger and stronger than in my entire life. My drive there is longer than my work out. I walk out feeling like Hercules. You owe it to yourself for both your physical and mental well being to give it a try. Ann is a great task master and I love being pushed to my limit. Grab a slot with her and if she's booked you will be lucky with anyone there. Pure dynamite one and all.

Fantastic experience: Jon is super attentive and knowledgeable. He manages to monitor every rep, push me as much as possible, create modifications whenever necessary and educate me along the way.

Fantastic experience: This place is great. They get you stronger in twenty minutes a week. It works Jon was so calming during the sessions that I didn't realize how hard I had worked until I left each time.

Fantastic experience: If you want feel good this is your center. Because they are a professional. I felt very confortable. Thanks

Fantastic experience: This is an excellent program for building strength in a relatively short time. Just 20 minutes a week does the trick. The staff here are really friendly and very attentive to individual needs. Fitness was never so achievable.

Fantastic experience: This is by far the best workout I have ever done. Don't be fooled, this workout is extremely challenging for only being 20 minutes and it will get you stronger if you stay consistent. The entire staff is so friendly and knowledgeable - they really treat you like family. Try it once and you will be hooked for life!

Fantastic experience: They are great trainers here, very inspirational.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I have been training at The Strength Code in Toluca Lake - it is the best! One-on-one personal training, created specifically for our needs. No crowding, no blaring music, just calm, cool kick-your-butt strength training. It's the best! We are stronger today than we have ever been in our lives! Thanks to The Strength Code!

Fantastic experience: In the last year and a half of training here I have gained confidence, muscle tone and a whole new lease on my midlife body-mind! I LOVE this place. The trainers are great. The ambiance is chill and positive. The results are AMAZING. Highly recommend! I had never weight trained before and this has been an incredible experience. I really never imagined I'd be lifting weights and enjoying it.

Fantastic experience: I loved the workout. Sheila was my trainer and she was excellent at explaining the routine and how the exercises worked. I could feel my targeted muscles working on a deep core level. I left energized and wanting more. I also had a great night's sleep, as Sheila said that I would!

Fantastic experience: I have been dreaming of a workout like this. I have had a lot of neck pain and I knew it was due to lack of core strength. I wanted a workout that would help me get deep into my core and free my neck. I did my first workout yesterday with Jon. It released 80% of my neck pain. This workout seems to me to be essential, before any other exercise, this practice gives the body the essential balance and strength. I completely understand the principle behind theses movements and that a once a week workout is perfect for the muscles to complete their job but, I have to say, I would love to do it more because, it feels so good. Can't wait for my next session. Pure genius. I would and I am sharing the exciting news about Inform with everyone. Honestly, I can't say enough!!Thank you, Linda Kammins

Fantastic experience: Slow exercise is a great experience. Staff is excellent. Give it a try.

Fantastic experience: I was a bit skeptical at first when my wife told me she had found a new 'gym' she wanted us to try. When I think 'gym' I think of a crowded smelly place where people go to pick up on each other. InForm Fitness was definitely not that! It's clean, quiet, and very welcoming. I have a weekly 1 on 1 session with my trainer Joe who is very friendly and knowledgeable. In fact the entire staff are very nice people with a passion for fitness. I've been going for almost a year now and have noticed I'm much stronger, have more endurance/stamina and feel much more fit overall. I would definitely recommend InForm Fitness Toluca Lake to those who want a great personalized fitness routine without the typical 'gym' atmosphere.

Fantastic experience: We love our trainer, Joe. We like the calm, cool quiet of the gym. We like the other people who are there -- trainers and clients. We love the workouts -- and the results we see and feel in our bodies. We like everything about Inform Fitness. We've been going every week for over two years, and I can't imagine not doing this.
