Dynamic Grit Fitness

Fantastic experience: I was recently in Redondo Beach for a visit with family and discovered Dynamic Grit. I am a bit older and, after some recent weight loss, was curious to see if someone could provide guidance on my flexibility, strength, and balance. The first question Mars asked was “how does your body feel today?” I was immediately impressed! Nobody had ever really asked before. I usually feel pretty good but answered honestly that I had a few aches and pains, and am not as flexible and strong as I once was. With just a few sessions Mars was able to guide me through a variety of movements and exercises that were immensely helpful. He explained the interconnectivity between muscle groups and nerves so I could understand how and why certain things were happening or causing pain. He even taught me some alternative exercises and movement methods I could use after I went back home! Mars changed my outlook on personal training, I wish I could have stayed!

Fantastic experience: Mars and Kei are top-notch. They are extremely focused on meeting you where you are, and "stay in it" with you, regardless of life's ups and downs. They are very conscientious of COVID protocols, and clean and sanitize everything. In terms of training - If you are goal-oriented, they will meet you there. If you just need to get to a healthy place, they will meet you there, too. Their focus is to build a relationship with you that matters, and it reaches beyond just your physical health and fitness. I trust these guys with anything!

Fantastic experience: Amazing gym amazing owner. Super cool gym.

Fantastic experience: The owners/trainers,Wei and Mars are well skilled, professional and pleasant. The facility and equipment are clean and continuously being santized.

Fantastic experience: The trainers/owners, Kei & Mars are top notch. They are VERY knowledgeable, educated, lively, smart, fun & FUNNY! They promote total fitness for all ages. The studio has the option of personal training and/or small group classes, all of which I highly recommend. They recently added Gabe as a trainer & he fits right in. This is a very inclusive & diverse group of people who are serious about their workouts, but who also want to have some fun with it. I can't tell you what a difference this place has made in my life.

Fantastic experience: Mars and Kei are the best fitness trainers in the Southbay. The classes are fun and friendly.

Fantastic experience: The right exercise regiment for every age group. That’s hard to find.

Fantastic experience: My brother and I have been part of the DGF family for 6 months and we love every second of being there. Mars and Kei are super trainers and push us past our limits every single day we train. They have a fantastic facility and they both have great enthusiasm for fitness. They are very motivating and knowledgeable in their field and are able to improve our skill and strength in our sport. We truly love training under them.

Fantastic experience: Kei and Mars will push you harder than you ever thought you could go. And you'll do it much to your own amazement! Two years ago, I had bad checkups and Drs said that I was heading down a path of heart and blood problems. Today, I am running 5Ks and doing burpies. Never, ever thought i could do that. Heath is back to normal and check-ups are great. Kei and Mars are real fitness professionals. The are trained in cardiovascular health and will spot you through your transformation. Oh and don't be cheap when it comes to running shoes. Buy custom, expensive shoes. Your feet, Achilles, planters, knees and hips will thank you. Top notch, understanding, sympathetic and downright ruthless trainers. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I am very grateful to have found DGF and train with Mars and Kei. It's easy to see how passionate these two trainers are and how much they love what they do. Each of them have their own style of training, but are both effective in getting you results. Before coming to this gym I thought personal training was just working out inside the gym. After training with these guys, you really get more than just that. At DGF you get a personalized workout routine designed specifically for your goals. It is not just some workout you can find online and expect to get the same results. Most importantly, they really take the time to get to know you and this shows how much they care about their clients. If you are looking for a fun and challenging workout stop by DGF, you won't regret it!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely Ruthless training! No excuses just old fashion, hard-nosed muscle and flexibility building. Great rates and nice people.

Fantastic experience: I'm over 70 years old and I've been personal training for over 2 years. Mars does a great job tailoring the training to my abilities. I suggest anyone in my age group to train with Dynamic Grit fitness.

Fantastic experience: Mars and Kei are the best and most supportive personal trainers around!! They just opened their own location on 190th and Anza which is very convenient for anyone living in Torrance or the surrounding area. In the few weeks that they trained me, I feel healthy already and my friends all say I look happier. They are committed to me and I just need to do my part and be committed to them.

Fantastic experience: If you want to have a great workout, get positive results and have a good time doing it then Dynamic Grit Fitness is the place to be. There are a lot of gyms out there so what’s different about this one? Simply put…Mars and Kei. They are masters when it comes to physical fitness and nutrition. They’ve had extensive training, are knowledgeable and passionate about what they do. There are no judgements here. You’ll feel comfortable right from the start no matter your age, size or what level of fitness you're at. Mars and Kei take a genuine interest in all of their clients, they listen and help you achieve the personal goals you set for yourself. They learn what you are capable of and challenge you to do more. There’s nothing routine about your workout, either. They change it up every day, always with the emphasis on safety and proper form. The classes are small, which is nice because you get to know the other members, everyone supports each other, you make some new friends and you still get that one-on-one attention. I love that they are always positive, upbeat and crazy funny. You can’t help but laugh while working your butt off! As an added bonus, everyday Mars teaches us about nutrition and Kei does a monthly blog. I’ve learned so much from both of them. I can’t say enough great things about Mars, Kei and DGF. You really should check it out and see for yourself. You’ll be glad you did!

Fantastic experience: South Bay's best gym. They offer a variety of classes for a great price! Great atmosphere, and they pay special attention to my goals!

Fantastic experience: I am so fortunate to have found this gym to begin my fitness journey. The small group exercises and personalized attention from the trainers makes me feel confident that I will reach my fitness goals. I realized from the other gym members that age is just a number! I believe I can be healthy and fit way into my 100!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Mars for a little over year. It has been wonderful. I feel more fit and stronger than ever. It makes putting on clothes a much happier experience! I have lost body fat and weight. Mars always has many different exercises to do which keeps the training fun and interesting. I know training can be expensive, but I'd rather pay for staying fit than having health issues, and Mars is worth it!

Fantastic experience: Mars and kei are two extremely dedicated personal trainers. They both have a vast inventory of equipment and the know how to accommodate the novices but can humble even the strongest of body builders with just a 10lbs of weight. None compare to the genuine interest and well being of their clients they both invest their heart and soul into getting you results and keeping it.

Fantastic experience: I've been working with Dynamic Grit Fitness for the past two years. I can honestly say, at 49, I'm in the best shape of my life. I had been doing cardio (running, elliptical, stair stepper) for years but was not seeing any results. When I started training with Mars and Kei, they incorporated a core and strength program; I not only lost weight, I lost body fat and inches enabling me to meet my goals. The best part about their training, IT'S FUN!!!

Fantastic experience: I LOVE Mars and Kei so much! They are seriously the BEST two individuals that ever graced personal training in the south bay (or the world). Seriously, I HATE working out - and for the first time in my "adult" life I can honestly say I enjoy being in a gym. I miss it when I am gone. I started training with Mars and Kei back in December 2015, and have never felt better. They provide all the tools you need to get on track and succeed. Go here, make friends, get in shape, and feel good doing it - you will not regret it.

Fantastic experience: Kei is amazingly knowledgeable and knows what you need, where you need it and how to start you out on a program that is designed specifically for your needs. I recommend them to all, clean facility, great area and location. Can't go wrong with Dynamic Grit Fitness, I'm looking forward to a whole new me.

Fantastic experience: Dynamic Grit Fitness is an excellent gym. Mars and Kei are the most dedicated trainers I have worked with. Mars has patiently kept me on track to attain my goals.

Fantastic experience: I'm going to say this upfront: Kei Hashimoto at Dynamic Grit Fitness is an upstanding guy and a phenomenal personal trainer. I can easily say that in the two years I trained with him, that I wouldn't be in as nearly as good shape as I am if it weren't for his guidance. He's somebody you will love and hate when working with him. Regardless of your athleticism, his sessions will humble you severely, and you will be feeling sore the next day – make no mistake. A big part of his training style is accountability: If you're coming to him expecting to be “worked out” and not put in any effort of your own, then you'd better find another trainer, because you'll be putting in the work inside and outside of the session. There's two chief reasons for this: the first is that you're going to be put to the test the following session and he can easily tell if you have or haven't been putting in the work, and the other reason is that you'll want to try to exceed his expectations, wipe that smug look off his face, leave him speechless (albeit in vain). For every exercise he throws at you, he has a number of ways to modify it to make it easier or more difficult depending on how well you're handling it (including a number of workarounds for preexisting injuries). Even more important than the exercise he teaches, is the proper form he instills. This helps to focus on contracting the intended muscles, preventing overcompensation with the unintended muscles, and overall prevents injury. Where I train now, bad form is prevalent with kids my age focused more on being able to outdo each other with heavier weight instead than performing the exercise right and getting the maximum work out of the target muscles. In my honest opinion, the real genius of his training style is the gradual shift in mindset you undergo as you train with him. Like I said before, at first you’re only putting in so much work outside of his sessions to just to survive the next session and maybe get one up on him, but then your motivations slowly change; you find yourself working so hard because at first, it’s become a habit, it’s just what you do. Then, it becomes more than just a habit; it becomes an integral part of your life. I’m not sure how to articulate it properly, but now, working out is more than just about getting a certain physique or being able to bench a certain weight, it’s my go to stress reliever, my favorite part of the day. Sure there might be days where I have to forgo working out for whatever reason, but I can say without a doubt, because of his influence, there is never a day that I’ve gone to the gym and come back regretting it. Thank you Dynamic Grit Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Kei and Mars really know what they're doing! I could not be more happy with my training experience with these guys and am always pleased with how they mix up the workouts in really creative and unorthodox ways. They have tons of knowledge and experience and I feel like I am in great hands!!

Fantastic experience: Mars Tiomico has a vast inventory of training techniques and solutions for a better and fitter body. I have trained with Mars about three years now and I have consistently found him to be improving my agility and strength. I came to Mars in reasonable physical condition, but I did have some shoulder and knee problems. Mars customized his training techniques to build strength and flexibility into my existing condition. In addition to repairing me, he built and increased my overall muscle size and strength. Mars is an excellent communitor and keeps all of his clients in a strong dedicated environment.

Fantastic experience: Mars & Kei have been incredible in my fitness journey. Before working out with them, I had never been able to stick to working out regularly. Now I work out almost everyday! I look forward to seeing them & they always have new, interesting, and challenging workouts planned. Definitely the best trainers I have ever worked with!!!

Fantastic experience: I love training with Dynamic Grit fitness! Trainers push you to the limit, yet keep it relaxed and funny. Workouts are customized according to your body and weight needs. Definitely recommend it for anyone who's looking for a refreshing change.

Fantastic experience: Kei and Mars are two of the most dedicated trainers/people I have ever come across. They are 100% focused on their clients' goals, even in a group environment they manage to give you one on one time. These guys are very knowledgeable and come up with fun yet effective exercises. The light air and fun atmosphere is welcoming, however you will work...hard...and sweat...a lot! Additionally, Dynamic Grit Fitness' fees are very affordable, and for what you get...you feel like you are stealing. Long story short, I feel great and am actually motivated to workout. I give full credit to Kei and Mars. You guys rock my world!
