Park East Fitness

Fantastic experience: Trey and the team at Park East Fitness helped me lose weight and get fit. Also, Trey has helped me rehab a shoulder injury and a back injury. Now both are stronger than before.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to train with amazing trainers that really customize it to your needs.

Fantastic experience: Love training at Park East Fitness! (I was referred by a few co-workers and friends after having a baby.) Trey has been my personal trainer for 4 years and helped me lose baby weight, personalizes my training around injuries and weaknesses through functional training and helped me to gain muscle! I also take small group TRX and spin classes here that are intense but individualized and really helped me shed pounds and sculpt my body. I am a mom of three and I am told often that I don't look it but better than that, personal training helps me put myself and my health as a priority in the middle of my busy working mom schedule. Totally worth it!

Fantastic experience: I love the people and the workouts at this gym. I wish I could come every day!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Park East Fitness for several months. It’s a great facility that has a wide range of equipment. My trainer Amit has been great, providing me with personalized workouts to hit my goals. I am seeing real improvements as I get stronger and healthier.

Fantastic experience: This is a great place! Friendly people, super clean and tidy environment. Amit is amazing! He has helped me in so many ways- strength, flexibility, and mobility. I am grateful to have this wonderful resource for health and well-being in my life!

Fantastic experience: I started going to Park East Fitness during the Covid pandemic and absolutely love it. It’s a smaller more intimate gym that provides individualized training that really appeals to me. The trainers are very friendly and knowledgeable and the equipment is always in great order and accessible. Chuck Sobel and I train a couple days a week and he’s extremely knowledgeable of body mechanics and makes sure I lift properly without fear of injury. I’m in my 60s so I’m very conscious about choosing a trainer who’s priority is my health and avoiding injuries while focusing on building muscle and flexibility. My biggest past time is golf and while training with Chuck, I’ve seen major improvements in my balance and stability while club head speed has increased. Check it out! Highly recommend this business.

Fantastic experience: Jared is the best! I have been going to him for about a year now and I can’t recommend him enough. So far he has helped me loose 25 lbs and still more to come ! Thank you for helping me and others on their fitness journey !

Fantastic experience: I love training with Amit Shelat at Park East Fitness. He is calm, focus and super-knowledgeable. I’m 62 and my doctor recommended strength training for balance and overall muscle toning. I’ve only been working with Amit for a few months and already I feel a huge improvement in my fitness. This is my first experience working with a trainer and I was nervous about it. But Amit immediately put me at ease with his warmth and professionalism. The workouts are challenging, but not intimidating, and the results are significant. My balance, strength, and even mood are improving; back and hip pain have disappeared. The gym itself is terrific. The trainers keep it neat and organized. The front wall is all glass and looks out to a beautiful park. I thought working out would be a chore, but with Amit it has become a highpoint in my life. Gaining strength feels amazing!

Fantastic experience: I trained here with Jessica & she was amazing every step of the way! She was patient with me while also always being motivating & encouraging. She puts in so much effort for her clients. I’d highly recommend her!

Fantastic experience: After a year of sitting around at home during the pandemic, I’d put on some weight and was definitely starting to feel my age (I’m 51). Tried just going to the gym on my own but felt like I was just going through the motions so I decided to look into getting a trainer. Reached out Park East Fitness because it was close to home. They paired me up with Amit, who ended up being the complete opposite of the trainer I’d had 10 years ago at another gym. Instead of just pushing me through a formulaic workout, while shouting encouragement in my ear, Amit spent the first meeting testing my ability and flexibility, or in my case lack of flexibility. Based on that he crafted an exercise program that worked within my physical limits and focused on improving my range of motion as well as building muscle and losing weight. I can’t recommend Amit and Park east Fitness highly enough!

Fantastic experience: Love working with David here— we’ve been clients since January and have seen such a difference in both strength and overall health. His insights into the workouts and nutrition tips have been hugely helpful in working to be a happier, stronger, and more balanced person.

Fantastic experience: Love this gym! My husband and I were looking for a gym that accommodated COVID precautions and had an awesome personal trainer that would train us both. The space is clean and well-equipped; and Dave McKeag is the best trainer that focuses on educating us, modifying exercises as needed, and has a great sense of humor. Cannot recommend this place and Dave enough!

Fantastic experience: Had some excellent one-on-one sessions with Amit. He was flexible, communicative, and attentive. Would highly recommend him for anyone who is looking to have a continuing dialogue about how to improve their fitness.

Fantastic experience: We love Park East Fitness! My fiancee and I started working here 6 months ago and we have seen incredible results from working with David McKeag, our trainer. He's incredibly knowledgeable, kind but unrelenting, and always cheerful. We highly recommend working out with him. The facilities at Park East are perfect for someone who wants a lot of flexibility in the types of exercises they want to do and a variety of weight options. Free weights go from 4 lbs up to 70 lbs and there are a variety of cable and squatting machines. The equipment is kept very tidy. During COVID, they took safety very seriously, with everyone either masking up or working outside. There's also great fans for airflow, for when you're really pushing yourself. My best gym experience for sure!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to Park East for years and have used two of their trainers. Trey’s functional workouts have been a game changer for me regarding my mobility and strength. The studio is clean and organized, and the trainers are friendly and super knowledgeable.

Fantastic experience: I started training here with my wife about 3 months ago. Dave, our trainer is amazing! He is a living vampire with at least 300...I mean 30+ years of experience and a great sense of humor. We go 3 times a week and find ourselves burning a few extra calories just from all the laughing we do. Obviously, you want to make sure you match well with your trainer, so I can only speak about Dave as well as Trey, the owner, who always stops to say hi and chat up a bit when he's around. Things are still very serious and Dave knows just about everything there is to know about bodies and fitness. His motto "Your pain is my pleasure", is very fitting, especially after leg day! Masks are optional. Dave wears a mask with us as is our preference, but not required. Respect is in full supply here! Dave! Dave! Dave!

Fantastic experience: I'm so happy I decided to give Park East Fitness a try- Amit has been wonderful helping me strengthen my balance, find a stronger part of myself and connect to my core again! They are very educated in functional assessment and training, would highly recommend! Thank you :)

Fantastic experience: I have had an amazingly positive experience at Park East Fitness. I have worked with Amit Shelat as my trainer since November 2019 and my experience both pre- and post-COVID has been consistently excellent. I am overweight and really felt the need to do something about it, but I had a lot of injuries to work around when I started, as well as stuff going on in my "headspace" that impacted my attempts to get fit. Amit immediately found ways to get me moving again that were doable for me, while gently but firmly challenging me out of my comfort zone. His support has gone beyond what I could have expected from a trainer and I have always felt that I could be honest with him about how my personal challenges impact my training, which has always resulted in consistently positive and proactive support from him. When we had to go to virtual training he found ways to use the limited equipment I had at my disposal to keep my training routine in place. I have gone from barely being able to do 10 squats to being able to do 3 sets of 20. Regarding the facility itself, I love the atmosphere at this small gym - it is apparent that a lot of the clientele and trainers have built positive relationships with each other and the vibe is very friendly and familial. I have never felt judged or out-of-place in the environment that the owner Trey and his staff have created, but instead warmly welcomed and encouraged to do all that I could to improve my health and mobility. I cannot recommend Park East Fitness enough!

Fantastic experience: For the results you want, Park East Fitness is the way to go! The trainers are very knowledgeable and work with you on an interpersonal level. Highly recommended gym.

Fantastic experience: Never too crowded and has all the machines I need plus friendly staff and a constant of regular which makes one feel welcome even if you don't know anyone

Fantastic experience: If you’re looking for a gym to start the new year with, look no further than Park East Fitness. After many years at the big box gyms, finding Park East Fitness and trainer David McKeag was a great discovery. I've been going there for nearly 3 years. David took the time to understand my goals and put together a plan to get me there. Even when you achieve your goals you’ll keep going because you’ll love it so much. I would recommend anyone to come check out Park East Fitness and trainer David McKeag.

Fantastic experience: This is one of the best gyms in Long Beach! I highly recommend David McKeag who is one of their trainers. David is knowledgeable, experienced and pushes for results you can see and feel! Please ask for him when when you check out the gym!

Fantastic experience: I’m an avid Park East Fitness client and I have to say it’s an overall great experience. My Personal Trainer (Amit) is the greatest! Amit pushes me, motivates me, and is willing to share healthy food choices along the way to keep at my best.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality I've been training with Trey for the last 4 months. Since then I've lost weight, gained tons of muscle and all around look and feel better. The best part is that my high blood pressure is now completely under control and I've got the best readings of my adult life. Trey has been great to work with and I'd recommend him fully.

Fantastic experience: Park East Fitness treats you like family. They have been very accommodating during the pandemic and offered various zoom classes to keep us motivated during these challenging times.

Fantastic experience: This lil gym is a gem! I've been going to this gym for 2 years and I only have good things to say about it. The staff are friendly, welcoming, and conversational ... not just my trainer. The equipment and facilities are always kept clean (even more so now). With COVID restrictions, they keep client safety a priority ... offering outdoor workouts with masks and social distancing. Lastly, my trainer Dave is the best ... he provides a great, complete workout with a warm up, a challenging routine (suited for my needs), and post work out stretching (so essential). On top of that, he's a nice guy ... it's like working out with a buddy!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism , Quality Small, professional gym. Excellent personal trainers, competent and caring. I've been a member for several years now and have received nothing but the very best physical instruction. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to Park East Fitness for the past 2 months. David McKeag is my personal trainer and I've really enjoyed the the boutique gym atmosphere. David really pushes me and understand my wants and needs. He makes sure that all the equipment is sanitized and everything is set up and ready to go when I arrive so that we can start training right away. They take your temperature for safety precautions. I would recommend anyone to come check out Park East Fitness.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality Wonderful gym! The staff is extremely friendly, professional, knowledgeable and they do a great job of adhering to all safety guidelines. Would strongly recommend to anyone else!

Fantastic experience: I just want to thank Coach Amit (@apsisme) for all his help. Reaching my weight goals has never been easier. Just two weeks in training with him and the results are showing. I couldn’t believe it! Friends that I haven’t seen in a while also told me how much thinner I look. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Coach Amit for always being available and keeping me on track. He’s the most dedicated fitness trainer that I’ve ever met. You’re the best!

Fantastic experience: Amit is the absolute best! I relocated closer to home, the LBC, in August 2020 and committed to improving my overall health/ fitness. Was very impressed with Amit during the wkly virtual classes and today was our 15th session. Thanks to Amit’s passion, guidance, and just being a good guy & excellent coach, I’m reaping the benefits in different areas of my life and well-being. You’re stuck with me for a long time, coach! Park East Fitness is without a doubt the BEST!!

Fantastic experience: I know everybody wants to be back in shape and don’t know where to go but these place is the best they don’t have fake trainers that think they know what they’re doing they have professional trainers that know what they are taking about plus they have really good price with good equipment outside. Also ask for Amit he has been my son Tito trainer for along time now and has made a big difference in his performance and speed in baseball and like I said call them you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic experience: I worked out with my trainer at Park East Fitness for over one year. It's a great gym - very comfortable and cozy without that huge, overcrowded, noisy big gym atmosphere. All the equipment I needed was provided and there was enough room to work out without bumping into people. Great location with ample parking. I'd highly recommend Part East Fitness for anyone who is looking for a fun, friendly, personal gym experience.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism Park east fitness has the best coaches. They are so welcoming and friendly. Ever since this pandemic began, they’ve constantly been trying to find ways to still have training sessions. You can tell that everyone who works there is passionate about fitness and helping others reach their goals.

Fantastic experience: Great, friendly gym. I have been training at Park East for over a year. My trainer Amit is flexible and very attentive with his clients. Love this gym. During Covid, they accommodate safe training sessions outside or at the park.

Fantastic experience: Park East Fitness is a fantastic gym that has done a great job adapting for COVID with curbside workouts for a safe and professional environment. They give me a well focused workout with a strong holistic approach. The trainers here are great, pushing me harder to make great progress! Thank you Park East Fitness!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication I have been taking my adult son who has Autism, for the last six months to workout with Amit. He has been very patient and helpful and is reliable. I would strongly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I have trained at this studio with Chuck for many years. First it’s convenient to get to and it’s great having a private club that’s clean and bright. Chuck is an amazing trainer and one of my dearest friends. He’s patient and doesn’t let you slack off. I started with him in 1993. He’s the best!!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Chuck Sobol. Firstly, he is enormously personable, and makes the (often dreaded) training experience very welcoming. Secondly, he is enormously knowledgeable about both anatomy and body mechanics (which his background as an engineer also facilitates), and so on any given workout he knows exactly what you should be doing to achieve your goals. Thirdly, he is very supportive and gentle during any given workout (as opposed to stringent and coercive), which makes the workout all the more desirable to be a part of. Lastly, given his knowledge of the body and body mechanics he knows exactly how far to push any given client without going too far (i.e., to the point of excessive soreness or potential injury), and so one's goals are achieved in a much more fluid fashion. If you want a terrific personal trainer, Chuck is your man!

Fantastic experience: I've been going to PEF for 10 years and Chuck has been my trainer for most of that time. He pays close attention and gives correction so that I know I'm doing the exercise right.

Fantastic experience: Trey is awesome. Seriously the best little secret in town. Couldn’t find a better trainer and Gym!

Fantastic experience: I am taking sessions with Simon and really enjoy my workouts. She is very knowledgeable & energetic. Have been going there for many months now and find that all the trainers (Simon, Scott & Tray) will engage you very well during workout sessions. Keep up the good work guys..!! Make America FIT AGAIN... :-))

Fantastic experience: Great studio style gym with energetic instructors and fun and effective classes. Whether you are trying to lose weight, get healthier, or work on the last new millimeters of unwanted body fat to get you ready to get out there on the beach, this is the place for you!

Fantastic experience: I have worked with Trey for many years. He has a holistic approach to training and really tunes into what is needed to improve strength, cardio and endurance. Every time I am with him it is a fun experience because he's so wonderful to be around and talk to during workouts. Working out with Trey is like working out with a good friend with lots of insight and knowledge about the body. He is a great listener and always comes up with ways to keep the workout feeling fresh, challenging and fun.
