I’ve been going to Train With Dave for about seven months, and I have to say it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made for my fitness journey! Its so clean, spacious, and well-organized the gym is. The equipment is top-notch—plenty of variety to keep my workouts interesting, and everything is always in great condition.

The staff here is incredibly friendly and welcoming. Especially my personal trainer, Stefan. They’re always happy to answer any questions and make sure I feel comfortable. I’ve also had the chance to take a few classes, and the instructors are amazing—engaging, motivating, and really knowledgeable. I love how they focus on proper form and ensure everyone gets the most out of each session.

I would highly recommend Train With Dave for an easy and effective gym.

I have been training with Jake for a few months now and I am so happy I signed up. I realized I couldn't get in good shape anymore on my own and needed some help. Jake has been great to work with and works to create a plan for each individual. He makes you accountable and pushes you to do better each session. He is teaching me so much about the correct workout form and eating healthy. If you are thinking about signing up, just do it. You won't regret it.

He pushes me to give my best while ensuring I’m training safely and effectively. He’s always supportive, motivating, and happy to answer any questions I have, whether it’s about my workouts, recovery, or nutrition. The one-on-one attention has made a huge impact, and I’m seeing progress every step of the way.

I highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a real change and achieve their fitness goals!

I have been training with Jake for the past three months and I couldn't be happier! Jake really takes the time to go over all the exercises and explain how and what they are doing for you. He is very understanding of your needs and goals and builds workouts specifically for you! On top of Jake being amazing Train with Dave and Fort Fitness is very understanding of my travel needs and that is a huge reason I go there! I would highly recommend Jake and Fort Fitness to anyone that is looking to get in shape and better their lives!

I began training two months ago, and it’s been incredibly motivating. I found Train with Dave through Yelp, and while the glowing reviews caught my attention, I was curious how this program would stand out from other local options like 24 Hour Fitness or LA Fitness. It’s been amazing. Chandler, my trainer, is not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in my progress. He’s dedicated to helping me reach my goals, and on the days when I’m feeling off or unmotivated, it’s comforting to know he’s there to push me through. Chandler has a deep understanding of the entire process—training, nutrition, and adjustments—ensuring everything aligns to meet my needs. The gym is great, and it’s a bonus to work out alongside other motivated clients who share the same drive.

I relocated to CA for the summer of 2024 and wanted to continue my strength training. I joined Train with Dave and Jake was assigned as my trainer. Jake was awesome from day one. The first day we met to discuss my goals and nutrition. He explained how the app would help me track my progress. Jake was very knowledgeable, excellent at correcting my form, encouraged me to push myself but kept me safe and injury free. I would highly recommend Jake if you are looking for a skilled personal trainer and want to see results. Thank you Jake for helping me make the most of my training while in CA. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have been training with Jake at Train with Dave Laguna Hills since April after moving, and this experience has been life changing. I never thought that I would workout with a personal trainer let alone ENJOY it and genuinely look forward to it. Training is the best hour of my day and Jake that I always look forward to.

Recently, Jake and I had a “come to Jesus” moment and he helped me to reframe my relationship and mentality regarding nutrition, and work/life balance in a way that really resonated. I can tell I’m getting stronger and he’s been the best mentor and coach. Jake is extremely personable and makes an effort to encourage and motivate each client of his in their own special way. Jake creates an uplifting environment and all clients cheer each other on throughout our workouts and we’ve become friends and celebrate our personal victories together.

I highly recommend Train with Dave Laguna Hills and can’t thank this team enough for all they’ve done for me and continue to do. This team and clients all feel like family and is so welcoming.
