My Journey at Pendulum Fitness - Pasadena

Since beginning my fitness journey at Pendulum Fitness in October 2024, I've discovered what truly sets apart an exceptional gym from the ordinary. Located in Pasadena, this fitness facility has become more than just a place to work out – it's become a cornerstone of my commitment to personal health and wellness.

The heart of my experience at Pendulum has been working with my coach, Liv, who exemplifies everything you could want in a personal trainer. Her approach to fitness coaching goes far beyond just counting reps or demonstrating exercises. Liv has created a comprehensive support system that keeps me accountable to my goals, pushing me to achieve more than I thought possible while ensuring I maintain proper form and technique throughout each session.

The quality of workouts at Pendulum Fitness is exceptional. Each session is thoughtfully designed to challenge me while building upon previous progress. What's particularly impressive is how the training program adapts to my individual needs and goals. The workouts are intense and purposeful, but never feel overwhelming or beyond my capabilities.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Pendulum Fitness is their staff. Beyond just Liv, every team member contributes to creating an environment that's both professional and welcoming. This isn't a facility where you feel like just another membership number – the staff takes the time to know you and genuinely invest in your success. Their consistent encouragement and support make every visit something to look forward to, rather than an obligation to dread.

The accountability aspect of training at Pendulum has been transformative for my fitness journey. Through regular check-ins and progress tracking, Coach Liv ensures that I stay focused on my goals. She has a unique ability to motivate without overwhelming, push without pressuring, and encourage without coddling. This balanced approach has helped me maintain consistency in my fitness routine, which has been crucial to seeing real results.

For anyone in the Pasadena area seeking a fitness facility that offers more than just equipment and space, Pendulum Fitness delivers an experience that's worth every penny. The combination of expert coaching, particularly from trainers like Liv, along with the supportive atmosphere and results-driven approach, makes this gym stand out in a crowded fitness landscape. Whether you're just starting your fitness journey or looking to take your training to the next level, Pendulum Fitness provides the perfect environment to achieve your goals.

After a month of training here, I can confidently say that joining Pendulum Fitness was one of the best decisions I've made for my health and wellness. The personalized attention, exceptional coaching, and consistent accountability have created an experience that continues to exceed my expectations. This isn't just another gym – it's a community dedicated to helping its members achieve their fitness goals through expert guidance and unwavering support.

This was all new to me. I came across a post on Instagram and decided to go "check it out." I just completed my first month and I told Drew that the experience has been amazing! Coach Vince pays attention to detail and really helped me with my form and technique. The facility is huge! clean and most importantly, the members make it a great community. If you go "check it out," you will see for yourself why I decided to join.

In short, I wasn't just another transaction to the business.

I've been with this gym for about 5 weeks now and with the help of the coaches and nutrition plan they've provides my expectations have been exceeded. They make me feel comfortable but they also push witch is what I need. I'm the healthiest I've been in years. Highly recommend if you're looking for a serious place to get to work.

Pendulum Fitness freed me from an ongoing, unmotivated series of self-disappointments that spans about 30 years. Always hoping to get in better shape at some point, I loathed stereotypical gym culture...the preening, the competition, the toxicity. And I half-started so many at-home fitness programs....FIT FOR LIFE begat BEACH BODY begat P90X begat BODY BEAST begat BASEMENT BEAST begat - you get the idea. But I was accountable to noone but me, and stopped all of these before they ever really got started.

So fast forward to December '24. On my 59th birthday in March of that year, I told myself I needed to get healthier - it's the last 3rd of my life, and I want to embrace it and be healthy and live it fully. By Christmas, fully aware that I was failing myself yet again, I was scrolling through IG and saw an ad for some fitness challenge. I clicked the link, fully confident in my dismissive cynicism that it would not be for me.

Well...

Within 15 minutes I received a text from Drew...a truly genuine, decidedly NON marketing text. He was excited in my interest, he wanted to learn more about me to see if what Pendulum offered was a good fit - not "Bro, you need us!" but rather "Let's see if we're right for you."

Huh?, I thought...gyms don't work like that!

So I made an appointment to meet with Drew. And we had a fantastic talk. And I signed up. Then I met Mark, and eventually my coach Alex. And there was no icky gym culture ANYWHERE to be found.

Pendulum is a truly incredible place. Only 3 sessions in, and I know that this is the place that will help me reach my goals. Alex, as well as Drew, Mark, plus folks I haven't even met yet, are there for me, rooting for me, and are expecting me to show up. And for the first time in 30 years, I really want to. And I do.

Last Friday was a very grueling session, and I was stiff and sore throughout the weekend...on my own that would have ended it: "Meh, I'm sore, I'll start up again when I'm not." But today, Monday, I practically ran to my 7am session, because Alex was expecting me, because I'm finally on the right journey to improved health, because this is where I need, where I want, where I just have to be.

I'm so excited for the next 12 weeks and beyond. Thank you Drew, Alex and everyone at Pendulum Fitness...we are changing my life.

Yours in health and fitness,

I LOVE this facility. I am a new member and I can’t stop hyping Pendulum to my friends. I’ve enjoyed the semi- privates and the group workouts. I feel so strong and capable. It’s a great feeling and so much bang for your buck and your precious time in an hour workout.

My trainer Alex is awesome and does just the right amount of corrections and explaining. keeps us moving !
