Update 10/28/24: still going strong at Virtuo. I recently fell off the gym wagon and the team was really helpful with welcoming me back and getting me back into the rhythm of things. I really appreciate the team and highly recommend this gym if you need results and accountability.

I’ve been going here since June 2023 and have made huge improvements to my everyday life. Sarita is a phenomenal trainer and really pays attention to your feedback to tailor a program that you can consistently make progress in. Would highly recommend.

I did a lot of research before joining a gym in Los Angeles, and I’m so glad I ended up at Virtuo. Here are the reasons why (list not exhaustive):

1. I have never been a gym or sports person — I was the type to walk the mile in PE class. So I didn’t really have the foundational knowledge (nor the confidence) to work out by myself or in a big group class. Virtuo has been a phenomenal place to learn this stuff from scratch. It’s much more private than most gyms and the trainers are very knowledgeable, encouraging, and nonjudgmental.

2. You know how in LA, a lot of “trainers” are actually just aspiring actors/models? That’s not the case here. The trainers at Virtuo are career trainers with real expertise. Because I have arthritis and a leg length discrepancy and bad knees, this has been so crucial for me. Brandon has been careful to choose exercises that don’t cause me any joint pain, and even better, exercises that have helped improve my balance A LOT.

3. Virtuo is not a miserable boot camp type environment. The trainers definitely push me beyond my own perceived limitations and comfort zone, but in an manageable way where I’ve been able to make steady progress. Brandon is especially great at distracting me with jokes and interesting conversation which make those 30 second mountain climber reps go by much faster.

If you’re looking for a “scene” kind of gym like Equinox, this might not be the best fit for you. But if you want help from experts to improve your workouts and achieve consistent (and pretty fast) results, Virtuo is a fantastic choice and worth every penny.

Excellent experience here. Brandon is an amazing trainer. I had a short timeline to be able to work with him and he developed a personal program that has fixed several weaknesses that were causing injuries. He looks at your nutritional and fitness goals and develops a personal program.

My focus was movement and functional fitness and he created an amazing program that has turned me around physically.

He’s willing and able to completely rework the program on the fly as you progress. For example, I showed up with lingering muscle strains and he completely redid my workout on the spot for that day to address the underlying instability that was causing the issues. Because of that I have resolved two injuries that have nagged me for literally decades.

Positive and supportive, he’s an outstanding trainer and human being. If you do the work, he is dedicated to your success- I received messages from him evenings and weekends checking in and monitoring what I was doing.

This neighborhood training gym is a true gem! They offer both personal training and small-group sessions (with just 3-4 people per trainer), giving you the perfect balance of individualized attention and group motivation. I’ve had training sessions with Jonathan, Sarita and Derrick and all 3 of them are authentic, down to earth, and genuinely invested in my success, ensuring every workout is effective, safe and tailored.

Beyond workouts, they also provide nutrition counseling and Brandon, the owner has been an incredible mentor. If you’re looking for an intimate welcoming environment where everybody knows your name and where you’ll be supported by knowledgeable, friendly trainers, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!"

I've been at Virtuo for the past year and it's been such a good investment for my health and well-being. I've gotten a better control on eating habits, weight, and exercise routine.

My trainer Keith has been very attentive to my injuries and tailors my programming to focus on keeping me pain free while building strength. I also love having a space to keep me accountable. I plan most of my meals with Keith, and he's always sharing ideas and knowledge on what works best both inside and outside the gym. We've built a solid foundation on recipes, exercises and stretches that have really helped me get to a better place in my fitness journey. So grateful to have them in my fitness journey.

When I was looking for a training program I really wanted to find a studio/gym that would cater to my needs, make me feel confident in my fitness, and was a positive. The coaches at VIRTUO are absolutely fantastic. Brandon cares about all of the clients who come to the gym and does periodic check ins even if he is not your training. The other trainers are super friendly, give great feedback, and make each session exciting.

Since starting at Virtuo I have seen my self grow stronger and feel more confident week to week. I am so happy that I found Virtuo as it was the missing piece for me in my fitness journey!

I had a positive experience at Virtuo Fitness. The trainers, especially my trainer, Jonathan, were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Jonathan took the time to understand me and my fitness goals and helped me develop a plan that would help me succeed. I also appreciated that they focused on injury prevention and flexibility. The gym has a relaxed atmosphere where I can focus on my workouts without feeling pressured.

I worked out with Jonathan for a year and a half. During that time, I successfully achieved my weight goals, and we started focusing on my strength goals. I would still train with Jonathan if I hadn’t moved out of state.

Parking meters are available on 3rd Street, and the side streets and the gym have a few parking spots behind. I highly recommend Virtuo Fitness to anyone looking for a supportive and welcoming personal training gym.
