Breakthru Fit Training Studio - Pasadena, California

I love Breakthru Fit Training Studio's small group training!! Its always a great workout with lots of variety. I have always found it to be a friendly atmosphere with the right balance of challenge, support and community so you can meet your fitness goals.

There are plenty of weights and equipment along with plenty of room. There's also a large outdoor patio space that is used for part of the workout. I really appreciate the opportunity to be outdoors and the variety it provides. Phil is an amazing and knowledgable trainer who always motivates you to do your best and challenge yourself.

The location is super convenient, clean, bright and the parking is incredibly easy. I highly recommend Breakthru Fit Training Studio!

I have been a member of Breakthru Fitness for over four years. Despite the pandemic, I have kept going through its many adaptations and I could not be happier to have stuck out with the transition of the gym. Breakthru has been a high point in my daily life. Not only is the exercise amazing, but so is the community. I love my gym family. Phil and Michelle have really worked hard to keep us in shape. I highly recommend Breakthru. Fitness!

Came in to Breakthru after having an absolutely horrible experience at LA Fitness.

I know, comparing the 2 is like comparing a Ferrari to bicycle, but Breakthru Fitness was really a GREAT gym, and I really thought about splurging and getting a membership after the week free trial.

The gym is located next to Trader Joe's on the 3rd floor of a complex. There is a huge 4 level parking lot attached to this complex, so parking wasn't a problem. In this part of South Pasadena, that is a HUGE deal.

Secondly, the staff at Breakthru were amazing. Not only were they super upbeat and friendly and ready to help us with any problems that we had, they did not once hassle us for being trial members or try to push us to join, even after the trial ended. Not a single phone call. For a 7-day trial, which is 3x longer than any other trial I've had at much cheaper gyms, that's a great deal.

The gym itself is very spacious, and you honestly get what you pay for. There are a bunch of personal training-specific machines and a lot of fun things to play with because of the roots of the gym and their dabbling in Crossfit.

Alongside the equipment, there are free towels provided, as well as bath towels and great showers in the locker rooms.

The only small caveat I would have to say is that their free weight section is a little lacking. Because of their target population(older), I totally understand why that is, but it would be nice if they had a few more selections in dumbbells and barbell weights.

Because of how spacious and empty the gym was though, even using their one set of weights was never an issue.

Love the place, and am seriously considering getting a membership :X

That absolute best gym in Pasadena and top gyms in all of Los Angeles!! I have been a fitness professional for many years now and what Breakthru offers is everything!!! They hit every area of fitness for every level and every age. The gym is absolutely immaculate. I have to say something about the owners. They truly care and are the legit real deal fitness leaders. Thank you Michele and Phil for all that you do!!

Phil Dozois is an amazing trainer. He always has a positive and upbeat attitude and makes everyone feel welcome right away. His workouts are challenging (but always with room to modify as you need), dynamic and different every time. He really listens to any aches and pains and will give you options that are best for your body. He overall is just a good human being who is kind and attentive and truly cares about your fitness and health.

Breakthru Fit is the absolute best! I have been fortunate to train with Phil now for years. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides challenging workouts on a weekly basis. He modifies based on a person’s needs and/or limitations. His new studio is clean, well stocked and has ample parking.

I've been going to Breakthru for over 10 years now. It's hard to overstate how welcoming and positive the Breakthru community is. Phil is an excellent trainer with a supportive and motivational style. The new studio is clean and bright with easy parking and a great location. Highly recommend!

I love this gym! It’s always clean, the staff is super friendly, and they have just about everything you need for a great workout. I’ve had memberships at several gyms such as LA Fitness, 24, and Lifetime Fitness and Lifetime is the only one that would be in the same category for me as Breakthru, especially in the atmosphere and cleanliness aspects. I am generally very critical of the gyms I work out at so if I give a gym 5 stars it’s deserved.
