OC Life Fitness

Fantastic experience: This place is sooo lovely, I would definitely recommend it to everyone, Started about 4 months ago with Nicole she is so patient and professional she started wz me literally from scratch!

Fantastic experience: Wanted to kickstart my fitness journey, and damn, was this the perfect place to do it. Found OC Life Fitness through Yelp, and it absolutely lived up to the stellar ratings. Got connected with Owner/trainer Danny, who invited me in for a body assessment/get to know you session. Prices were solid and scheduling was very flexible. He was able to tailor a great program to my capabilities and goals, both inside and outside of the gym (eating right is over half the battle!). When working out, Danny did a great job teaching me techniques, pushing me beyond what I thought my limits were (safely), and overall motivating me to hit the fitness grind hard. The gym where we trained was also very clean. Thank you Danny for everything!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Danny and Claudine for 5 months to get in shape for my wedding. Thanks to these two awesome trainers, I saw more improvement than I expected and felt gorgeous in my wedding dress! When I first contacted Danny, he was so responsive and answered all my questions. Training with Danny was so easy to schedule and we're always 1 on 1. He taught me many exercises and correct form for each exercise with patience and kindness. I can see my improvement on my body and form every time I trained with him. Sessions with Claudine were usually with other one or two people. It was my first time to do heavy lifting and I wasn't sure if I would like it or not. But she made me love it! She taught me not only training but also eating tips, mindset, and many good life tips !!! I really enjoyed all the training sessions with Danny and Claudine. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: So glad to find this hidden gym nearby. Danny was very knowledgeable and always so encouraging for the workout sessions. He made my transmission to continuing workouts after postpartum much smoothly. I also appreciated that he’s being so flexible as I missed the session once and he had no problem rescheduling for me. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I trained with Danny for 8 sessions, twice a week for a month. I hesitated signing up at first because it’s pretty pricey for a college student but I’m so glad I did. We did bi-weekly measurements and he also has an in-body machine that gives you detailed info on water weight, muscle mass, etc. He also corrected my form and I learned new workouts that I took with me to train on my own outside of his sessions. Being healthy and fit is a lifelong journey but working with Danny is just a short term investment you won’t regret. Highly recommend training with him!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism This gym has the best energy, staff, and feel. Everything is so clean, every trainer closely watches and corrects your form. Keep doing what you’re doing, thank you!

Fantastic experience: Dan is an incredible trainer. He really knows his stuff and a great motivator. He focuses on total body workouts and really gets you fast results.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out with Danny for some time now and I can’t say enough great things about him! He helps you progress at the right pace for you and Is a great teacher. Super flexible timing and great results!

Fantastic experience: I had trained with Danny for different periods in the past several years, he's super helpful for everything and my body fat percentage was cut dramatically while I was with him, so I did love my results.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Everything from the cleanliness and care he puts into keeping the gym in tip top shape to the awesome playlists; every workout is invigorating and positive.

Fantastic experience: Efficient workout plan, prompt, great attitude!!

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Danny and his commitment to my goals, I was able to get in the best shape of my life. He tailor-fit a program that worked best for me and kept me motivated throughout the entire process. He has flexible hours and is easy to work with. The workouts are fun and engaging which helped me a lot when I wanted to give up. If other trainers didn’t seem up to the task, can’t show up on time, and generally seemed “too good” to work hard with you, give Danny a shot and get your journey to health and happiness started.

Fantastic experience: Danny is attentive and patient. I only trained with him for 3 months and saw and felt a big difference in my own strength. I would definitely train with him again.

Fantastic experience: Best place to workout ♡

Fantastic experience: Danny was a professional and very friendly personal trainer and I genuinely enjoyed my weekly sessions with him. He asked me what I was looking to achieve on our first meet and walked me through pricing, scheduling, nutrition, etc. For someone who was not familiar with the personal training process he walked me through it all! I had previously worked with a PT that made me feel very uncomfortable and I felt like that PT was just interested in taking my money, but my experience with Danny was the exact opposite. He is super kind, generous, and understanding. He’s very helpful and responsive too when you have any questions. I highly recommend him as a PT as he is the best out there in the OC!!!!

Fantastic experience: Danny is an excellent trainer who really knows what he's doing and will guide you on your form and how to improve which is exactly what I needed post baby. After having a baby, I felt I had lost so much strength and didn't have much confidence going into a gym but after training with Danny, I feel so much stronger and fitter, so glad I found him. I highly recommend him!

Fantastic experience: Danny is the best trainer I have ever encountered!!! He is talented at what he does and he will get you to your goals! Every session I had I could feel myself get stronger and stronger. He knew my weak points and how to improve them. My workouts were always different and my body reacted so well to his training I lost 3% body fat in one month! He is worth every penny. He is not an aggressive trainer he pushes you but not in a way that makes you not want to come back. I loved all my sessions I felt so accomplished every time. I wouldn’t hire anyone else.

Fantastic experience: I trained with Danny and really enjoyed the variety of workouts. They were challenging and I was able to see results within a few months. Danny is super approachable and flexible with scheduling and will accommodate to days and times that work for you. He's very knowledgable and friendly- highly recommend training with him!

Fantastic experience: Having never trained or exercised before, I quickly realized bootcamp classes would not work for me. I decided I needed more specialized attention with someone who is more aware of my capabilities and current limitations. I did some research and decided to go with Danny from OC Life Fitness due to all the rave reviews. I specifically picked Danny because I had never consistently worked out before so it was important that my trainer didn't make me feel discouraged or I knew I'd probably quit. Danny was easy-going but he also gently pushed me to strive for more - this was exactly what I needed. He assessed me carefully during the first few classes to ensure he wasn't overdoing it and then eventually increased the intensity. I was able to learn proper forms and techniques and he also educated me on what I should be eating. What I really appreciated was that he never made me feel badly about eating poorly or failing to do better than I previously did. He would just tell me why he believed I wasn't seeing certain results when I relayed my concerns and would give me suggestions and try to motivate me. This was the only time in my life I consistently worked out and began to feel better about my lifestyle and health. Unfortunately, I had to stop once I became pregnant and have not been able to find the time to return to his classes, but I had planned on doing so once the baby got a little older. I would definitely recommend his services and hope to train with him again!

Fantastic experience: My wife and I wanted to get into a better shape for our wedding and we found Danny due to his high rating on yelp. The consultation Danny provided was very constructive. We wanted to be trained in a way it’s still fun and enjoyable and Danny gave us just that. He always gave us just right amount of pressure and encouragement. We have been training with Danny over a year now (even after the wedding) and it just became our routine to catch up with Danny as our friend and couch. We really enjoyed training with Danny. Can’t wait to get back!! :-)

Fantastic experience: Danny is the best trainer ever. He is so polite and flexible and knows about his profession well. I felt so light and started to love my body . The best part is you dont feel stressed after workout.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality We worked with Danny before moving out of the area. He was great to work with and we both saw results much faster than expected

Fantastic experience: Danny is extremely friendly and professional. I appreciate how he makes me feel comfortable and how he always caters to my needs instead of having a set workout plan. For me, my concern was proper technique/form. Especially as a beginner (and female) I can say it’s pretty intimidating to start out at a gym. But Danny was very knowledgeable in delivering my concerns and I was able to learn a lot. Worth the value and experience.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Trained with Danny for a few months to get a jump start to get back on track. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Easy to work with and talk to. Knows how to quietly push you when you’re not feeling it! Communication and scheduling is simple/fast. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a good mix in their workouts.

Fantastic experience: Danny is a super nice guy and very attentive. He'll explain every exercise to you if you ask and you definitely will see results. I dropped 3% body fat within the first month and saw drastic changes in my chest and legs! He always checks in with you between exercises to make sure you're feeling well and whether or not the exercise is too difficult or too easy for you.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! My goal was to learn how to exercise properly and slim down. Danny helped me achieve my goal by pushing me to bring my body fat % down from 29 to 25 in 1 month!! He’s very attentive, patient and very flexible! Thanks Danny!!

Fantastic experience: Danny is one of those trainers that are too good to be true - but it's true! He's flexible with your schedule, he's on time, and he truly cares about helping you meet your goals. His training method is straightforward and not intimidating - there's no yelling or gimmicks involved to get you through the workouts. Just stick with the program, be patient, and you will see the results! I've had friends and family members train with Danny as well - and I wouldn't have recommended it if I didn't trust Danny.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I started working out with Danny one year ago. Our goal was to get in shape for our wedding. Danny is such a good trainer and gives healthy diet advice. He also keeps an close eye on our progress. We are very happy with the result- we both lost around 10% body fat. We really like how he coaches. He’s accommodating but also keeps every workout challenging. We enjoy working out with him so much that we continue even after our wedding and honeymoon. Danny to us is not only our trainer but friend. We’d highly recommend training with Danny!

Fantastic experience: I was interested in getting a personal trainer a year before my wedding and found Danny through his great yelp reviews. He was really quick to respond and I scheduled a consultation immediately. During our consultation Danny took the time to listen to my goals and what I was hoping to achieve from the sessions. Danny took my measurements before my first training session and carefully explained each of the measurements and redefined my goals in terms of the measurements. I ended up training with Danny for a year and my body has been in the best shape it has ever been. Danny takes monthly measurements so it helps you see your progress each month. Danny's pricing is very reasonable and he is very flexible in terms of scheduling. He trains 6 days a week and starts training as early as 6am or as late as 7pm, which makes it possible for me to get my 2 sessions/week in with my work schedule. If you're on the fence about getting a personal trainer, I would definitely recommend Danny. Even if you have never lifted weights before (like me), Danny is patient and will correct your form.

Fantastic experience: Compared to last-year-me, I can confidently say I feel stronger and my stamina has improved since training with Danny. There are still things that I am learning from him and things that I’m still working on. He doesn’t hover over you but gives you enough space to quickly come in to correct your form or to check in on you. Also, what I’ve come to respect is his consistency - from flexible scheduling to great workouts. I’m able to go after my next fitness goal thanks to Danny.

Fantastic experience: Danny is a super great trainer and an awesome guy. Makes working out less of a chore though god knows its still work. He's very patient and attentive. He really knows his stuff. I'm really happy with the results I've been seeing and appreciate that Danny gives me a good balance of target areas.

Fantastic experience: I've been training with Danny for nearly a year now. Within months we saw incredible reductions in my measurements and my lower pain is much improved. I'm currently at the lowest weight I've been in the last 10 years with only 2 sessions weekly. Incredible!

Fantastic experience: Danny is an amazing trainer! He is kind, attentive, and matches your pace. Scheduling times are always easy and flexible, and his workouts are always different and fun. You won’t regret training with him!

Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend working with Danny! He is very patient and accommodating with scheduling. I feel much more confident and comfortable going to the gym now. He will cater the workouts to your goals.

Fantastic experience: I've never had better results from workouts than what I've gotten in the past few months of working with Danny! I've been consistently motivated, challenged, and am finally starting to feel so happy about my body/strength. Danny is super professional and a pleasure to work with, and keeps things fresh and interesting.

Fantastic experience: Danny is a best of the best personal trainer in OC. I've been workout with him for 10 years. I am so satisfied with him Thank you Danny.

Fantastic experience: Danny is an amazing trainer! Always super understanding, patient, and cognizant of your current ability. I’ve had a great time training with him and I highly recommend him!!

Fantastic experience: Danny is a patient and sensitive trainer. I started working with him during a period of transition and Danny was able to help me gain weight to a healthy level, create a workout that was just challenging enough and not overboard, and was a gentleman whenever I got too winded from a workout with a Gatorade. I had been intimidated by gyms in the past and Danny made working out with weights accessible for me. A definite recommend, you won’t regret contacting Danny if you are new to fitness or are looking for someone to guide you through the process.

Fantastic experience: Danny’s a great trainer. I worked with him for over a year and he helped me learn good exercises and healthy habits. I put on 20 lbs of lean muscle in just a few months. He’ll work with you to set goals and reach those goals.

Fantastic experience: Danny is a great trainer. My entire family has been working out with him for months and the results are amazing. He knows just how much he should push you and give you a break so that you don’t feel like not coming back because it’s too tiring. Danny gives you just enough soreness and amount of workout so that you get great results and great habit to comeback. I really enjoy every workout sessions.

Fantastic experience: Been working out with Danny for almost 1 yr. always a good workout with great results.

Fantastic experience: It has been a while since I started my training with Danny. I initially started because my friend dragged me in there to be her workout partner in preparation for her wedding but I am so glad she did! I look better, have more energy, and just have an overall sense of well-being. Danny is patient yet motivating. If I have any questions, he is always happy to answer them. The journey was an unexpected one but I am so happy that I decided to do it!

Fantastic experience: Danny Lee is my trainer and he is the most professional and caring person I've trained with. He is so helpful and knowledgeable that I have been training with him for 7-8 years!! I have been seeing great results with his intense workouts, yet he is always on the lookout for me because I have asthma. He makes sure that I am using the correct muscles and always making sure to correct my posture. I will definitely continue to train underneath this wonderful trainer!!

Fantastic experience: I have been working out with Danny for two months now to prepared for my wedding next March. I normally live a pretty sedentary life and have wasted so much on years of gym membership. As frugal as I am, I decided to try personal training with Danny due to his excellent reviews. He gave me a quick rundown during our consultation. I decided to go with him, because he didn’t pressure me into signing with him on the spot. Also, there wasn’t some extensive long contract I needed to review since it is month to month. The workouts have been awesome since you are doing different exercises each session. Two months in, and I’m still seeing a few new exercises during my sessions. I throughly enjoy it, and the hour goes by in a flash.

Fantastic experience: After I started working out with Danny, my body shape changed for the better and I’m so satisfied with the results. Danny is such a nice and encouraging trainer and I enjoying working out with him. He knows exactly what I need to work on and how I can achieve the results I want. I recommend him strongly!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend working with Danny because he is easy to talk to and makes working out enjoyable because you could pretty much talk to him about anything while at the same time he motivates you to work at your hardest. 100% recommend him for anyone who wants to start working out!

Fantastic experience: DANNY is Great trainer! He always motivates me and he helped me find my potential. I been training with Danny for few month now i started to see changes on my body. I am very satisfied wiht my results. If you lack self motivation you should definitely hit up Danny!

Fantastic experience: The BEST trainer I’ve ever had! Danny is very motivating and couraging to help you reach all your fitness goals and pushes you to be the best! I would highly recommend Danny to all my friends and family!!
