The Fix Gym

Fantastic experience: When I first started at The Fix Gym I was a little jiggly and my body needed some attention and lovin. My goal was to firm up and fit into my skinny jeans. I was having a hard time achieving that on my own because I was only doing cardio and no strength training, along with doing all of my eating at night. Therefore I still had the dimples on your booty syndrome…..not happy. That all changed when I began working with The Tiger at The Fix Gym. Making it fun and homey with his amazing gyms vibe that has everything you need including a crackling fire, his coffee with protein, and the bumpin beats that Brian impressively knows every word to, it didn’t even feel like I was exercising!! I was having fun! My body knew I was exercising the following 1-2 days after each work out though….boy did it!! The best sore I could ask for. I would recommend The Fix Gym to ANYONE who wants to get results. Also for anyone who wants to train like a baller….think eucalyptus infused moist clothes to wipe down with after your workout! I’m not a morning person and this man got me moving at the early a.m. hours, and happily!!

Fantastic experience: I was one of Brian's first clients and I have had plenty of personal trainers. I will say that Brian has been the best and I am so happy that his dream of opening his own gym has come true in The Fix Gym. If I were you I would run there as anything that Brian does is of the highest quality. My main issue with working out is motivation and Brian is very motivating in a positive way. I have never loved to work out but I really have enjoyed my work outs with Brian. He is always very encouraging, positive and very knowledgable about what is best for you. He really tailors work outs for the individual as he knows that not all clients are the same. He really listens to what you want, need and is quick to find answers and solutions to anything that may be holding you back. If I lived closer to MDR (I live in DTLA) I would without a doubt join The Fix Gym immediately. Follow my advice; you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: My goal when I came to the Fix Gym was to improve myself. I had previously been challenged with financial and lots of body dismorphic issues and stress along with a need to gain muscle and lose weight so I wanted to finally find a gym. Tiger and his trainers are awesome and I made a lot of friends as well in the time I've known him. I highly recommend checking out the Fix Gym!! It comes with an owner/trainer with a lot of experience and the best sense of humor ever and you actually do laugh while working out harder than you ever would on your own. Prepare for a hard workout that is sensitive to your needs and a trainer who cares very personally for you. I think Tiger (the owner) changed my life.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Tiger is a sensational human and loves helping people become happier and fitter. I felt like I was working out with a best pal, even when he was pushing me to do grueling workouts. He's creative, has a great eye for aesthetics, and I always left FIX feeling infinitely better than when I walked in. Just go in and meet Tiger - you'll see.

Fantastic experience: Beautiful facility. Seemed to attract very very fit people. The locker room was clean. Staff was friendly

Fantastic experience: I feel very lucky to have met and work with Tiger. The workouts are challenging but Tiger makes the session fun and the time move quickly. I began to actually look forward to coming in and doing my workout. Tiger does a great job of mixing all kinds of workouts to keep it interesting. He is also very careful to make sure you work out in a way that is safe and does not cause injury. Not only did he grasp the difficulty of my initiating training after an orthopedic surgery, the exercises he selected were ideal for me. I made significant progress and he was instrumental in my being highly motivated. He keeps me focused, keeps me from getting bored, and has helped me with my nutrition. Not only is he a true professional, he is a cool, fun, and kind person. Now my own goal was specifically strength training; others may want to lose weight, build some muscle, or improve cardiovascular fitness. Whatever it may be, I can unhesitatingly recommend training with Tiger. He will work with you to figure out your goals, and then he will be with you every step of the way, with good humor, constant support, and an encyclopedic knowledge of exercises suited to your needs. He is always encouraging (pushing?!) me to try my hardest. I truly love Tiger and the Fix Gym!

Fantastic experience: The Fix Gym changed my body and changed my life. I had been talking about joining a gym for about two years. Y'know, just talking about it...but doing nothing. I hadn't spent much time working out since High School, and I honestly didn't know where to start, what to do, or even how to eat to get myself in shape. Bottom line: I needed some coaching. I couldn't be more grateful to have discovered The Fix Gym. Tiger Ford is an amazing personal trainer. He tailor-made a program for my specific needs and goals, plus coached me on food, how to workout without injuring myself, and provided me with a safe space to genuinely fall in love with working out. With so many unproven methods out there, Tiger is a true expert in the field of fitness. The workouts are always changing to keep you from getting bored. He instinctively knows when you need a push and when you need some recovery. His workouts are tough, but not so tough you're throwing up, and most important, you'll be really happy with your results and seeing your body transform. Everyone wants a quick fix for their body and weight issues, but at The Fix Gym, I was able to create a life-long habit of taking better care of myself. That's an internal result that money can't buy. Of course, the outward results happened too... Bony shoulders, GONE. Sunken chest, GONE. Poochy belly, GONE. Mushy tushy, GONE. Trust me, I suffered with all of this before coming to The Fix Gym and no one wants their body described this way. Ser-i-ous-ly. I now have more confidence and a better self-image, but more importantly, my overall health has improved and I believe I have added years to my life. I am so very thankful.

Fantastic experience: The Fix Gym review I’ll admit it; even though I’ve claimed otherwise, my goal has always been to look better. I had toyed ineffectually with other goals, like losing weight or getting stronger, and while I stuck with getting stronger for a while, once I fell off of a program it was tough to get back on. I found traditional trainers in big-box gyms to be ignorant of me and my needs, and unlikely to adjust to what was and wasn’t working for me. Neither did they have the time or attention to be comprehensive in their approach. Their diet advice was mostly useless and came without coaching or analysis. I was also promoted a few times in the past several years, and each promotion disrupted training as I adapted to new responsibilities and schedules. I also tried Cross Fit, which was for me a big mistake: the workouts were so emotionally draining that I started to look for excuses not to do them. In contrast, Tiger at The Fix Gym started with tough but not impossible workouts full of “how are you doing” “how was that” how are you feeling” check-ins that made it clear he was paying close attention, AND a no-judgement period of simple dietary measurement to understand where I was starting. And over our year and a third together so far he’s walked me gently up a ladder of tougher work, more attention to diet, more measurement, and steady success. The workouts are tough but Tiger is ready, almost eager, to adapt to make sure that you can complete them safely; at the end of a session I feel like I’ve worked hard and am done, but not worn down to a nub. And each workout is different from the last so there’s little chance to be bored. When I started I was in the neighborhood of 230lbs and 30% body fat. I didn’t look super tubby, but as a 5’11” 45-year-old it was not a good situation. My most recent weigh-in has me at 204lbs and 14.6% body fat, which mans over this period I’ve left behind 39lbs of flab and put on 13lbs of muscle. I haven’t seen this level of fitness since college, or maybe ever. And my wife has noticed, happily. If you’ve resolved and given up repeatedly; if you’ve wrestled with diets and hunger; if you’ve been disappointed with the lack of competent help out there, then you’re READY for The Fix Gym.

Fantastic experience: Working out with Tiger has been amazing - the best trainer experience I have ever had. My challenge with personal trainers is that often the routines get boring and repetitive. At The Fix Gym Tiger is always mixing things up with different intervals and devices (Free Weights, Boxing, Kickboxing) so that the sessions never get boring. He also uses a device kind of like an ultrasound to measure your body fat at different points. I have found this to be super helpful for motivation. Overall I would 100% recommend The Fix Gym!

Fantastic experience: Congrats! If you’re reading this, you can rest assured that your search is over. Your life is about to be changed. I’m not exaggerating when I say that The Fix Gym has changed my life. I came across the website in the middle of the night when I was feeling down from not doing anything to take care of myself and received a call from Tiger first thing the next morning. I talked with him about my goals, fears (yes, I used to feel awkward going to a gym and not knowing what to do!), and need for accountability. Tiger took care of ALL of those. Working out at The Fix Gym was incredible. The workouts are always different and feel like they fly by – even on those days when you don’t want to be there. Tiger’s approach to diet is a “seek to understand” mentality as opposed to making drastic changes, and he really helps you to examine your relationship with food without any hint of judgement. He helps you to make lasting changes. Reading this before I submit it I keep thinking this sounds like a sales pitch. Honestly, this place is that good. If you want to make small tweaks or drastic changes, this is the only place to go. They’ve got their stuff in order.

Fantastic experience: Though currently on hiatus due to a combination of a broken ankle (from hiking) and a crazy summer schedule, I've been working out with Tiger at The Fix since August of 2014 and lost about 50 lbs in the first 6 months, but that isn't the reason why this program is a success in my life. What I love about The Fix is how personal Tiger keeps the experience. There is support coming from all angles and a lot of care and research in each piece of your plan. Tiger treats each client with individual attention to detail and invests more than just time, but a piece of himself to the journey for each of us. The time I've spent with The Fix has taught me about personal goals, nutrition, working out, and ultimately has graced me with the tools to set myself up for success while gracing me with a powerful support system along the way. This is the future of fitness.

Fantastic experience: I LOVE The Fix Gym!! Owner, and Trainer-Extraordinaire Brian Woodruff (aka The Tiger), keeps the workouts intense and always changing. I came to The Fix Gym bored with my routine treadmill, weight workouts and needed something new and exciting. I work out 3-4 times a week and noticed that my weight loss had plateaued, I needed something different in my workout regime to continue to lose weight. The Fix Gym had it all! Personal training to make sure I have the correct form and to push me constantly, great music blasting so the time flew by, and then most importantly all kinds of different and fun equipment that worked so many different and new muscles I didn’t even know I had!! I also love that the workouts are constantly changing and evolving as you get stronger. This is really important to me because my body seems to get used to one thing quickly and then I don’t get results from it any more. The Fix Gym is a real personal workout. The trainers listen to your strengths and your goals and then shape the workouts accordingly. They keep you motivated and intrigued as you don’t know what is next to come! Very clean and modern facilities, I would recommend this to anyone looking to shake up your workout and try something different and new that will definitely kick your butt!! Highly, highly recommend you check it out!
