Hard Charger Training Center - Thousand Oaks, California

My experience with Miguel @Hard Charging Training Center has been GREAT! I look forward to going to class at 5:30 every morning. He's gotten me into the best shape. Classes are hard and fun, but ever changing. Everyday a different muscle group. If you're willing to work hard Miguel will get you to your physical fitness goals.

Miguel is such an amazing trainer, he is there for you 100% and will go up and beyond to help you get the results you want. He is always in such a great mood, and making everyone laugh. I have been to several gyms and taken classes and by far Miguel's is the best I have been too. Thank you Miguel for always pushing me, I love seeing results ?

For years, about 20 since my first son was born, I have been attempting to self-motivate myself into shape, to no avail. I would start out well, but then would quit when I thought it was getting too tough. I finally realized that I couldn’t do it on my own. Attending Boot Camp with Miguel has provided me with motivation, and desired results, that I have not been able to achieve on my own. Quitting is not an option. Mediocre effort is not acceptable. The workouts are extremely tough, but never boring. Miguel uses his years of training to provide a variety of challenging workout programs and engaging exercise to keep things fresh. I look forward to continue seeing the results that I could not have achieved on my own.

Hard Charger Training Center is not your typical bootcamp. I’ve gone to many gyms in the past but NOTHING matches the kind of workouts you get with Miguel. Just when you think your body can’t go any further, Miguel motivates his class to push themselves one step further. No workout is ever the same, and each day he focuses on different parts of your body—you will be hurting in places you never knew existed…but it’s a good kind of pain. Miguel is a great group/personal instructor; he adjusts workouts to accommodate individual’s abilities, while continually working to push each individual to their next level helping them get stronger and more fit. If you’re looking for an intense workout that will give you body transforming results, look no further. Additionally, for those interested Miguel will provide a meal plan to help you achieve your fitness goals even faster. Trust me--it works.

Miguel & Nina at Hard Charger Training Center are fantastic! I originally started working out here because I work close to the gym & was really impressed by all of the fit bodies walking in and out of the center. I have been going consistently for about 4 months now & I feel completely different in the best of ways! I have wayyy more energy than I perviously did, and I’m feeling so much stronger and more confident as well! Considering I have a physically demanding job, and a toddler- this is a big deal for me.
I thought that I had been doing “okay” by working out here and there at a local gym, but the one size fits all fitness classes that I was taking cant even come close to touching Miguel’s boot camp! As rigorous as the classes are, Miguel makes sure to customize each workout so that everyone in class can participate and progress at their own level and has taught me proper form as well. I have not had one injury since starting at Hard Charger! Nina- Miguel’s wife & co-owner at Hard Charger has also put together two separate options for nutrition plans for me since I’ve joined the gym! She is also available for cooking tips and suggestions on keeping meal plans interesting!
Another one of my favorite things about the gym is the camaraderie! It feels like a big family, and everyone wants to see each other succeed. I love being motivated by my fitness peers and also passing some encouragement along when I have the opportunity to do so. I was slightly nervous when I started about feeling like the “new kid” but everyone was very welcoming and encouraging as I started to build my strength and learn the program, and I love getting to know everyone better!
I believe you can truly tell when someone loves their work, and the love of fitness really shines through at Hard Charger. Miguel is definitely tough, and expects you to try your best and give your all, but at the end of the day its all for your own benefit! My favorite workouts are the boxing circuits he puts together. I’m really looking forward to seeing how far I can go on my fitness journey, as well as what I’m capable of achieving, and I have no doubt that Nina and Miguel will continue to inspire me!

Multi faceted, multi-level workouts that keep you challenged and motivated. Miguel includes everyone in the group and will ensure he keeps a close eye on everyone with this customized self-tailored workout for all targeting individual needs. Don't cheat this workout, you will quickly see an adjustment or correction to your form for maximized results, Miguel is watching and attentive to ensure you do it right. This workout is anything but boring or repetitive, your small muscle groups are worked as well as the larger ones. You will come away with gains and not be disappointed whether you're out of shape or in prime condition. This center has a little nonsense and fun; but, don't let that fool you just because Miguel is personable, overall he gets serious when the need arises. I recommend Hard Charger Training Center and Miguel to all persons wanting to get in shape or drive for better performance.

Get your butt in here if you want a good, challenging workout with friendly people!

Miguel knows exactly how to challenge each client, offering modifications to those who need it. He also knows everyone by name and uses this to motivate each of us throughout the workout - even the new people! I would highly recommend Hard Charger to those who are looking for a gym that will feed your desire to get in a good workout, meet new people, and learn the proper techniques to exercises.

I can't wait to go back!

With all of the different excersizes and circuits, every class is fun and pushes you in ways you couldn't imagine! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get fit or even just try something new and exciting!
