Formula Fitness - Los Alamitos, California

Megan Van Voorhies

Post-COVID my body was all kinds of messed up from working from home, leading to muscle weakness, constant injury, and poor posture. Years after regularly getting sessions at Formula Fitness, I feel stronger, more confident, and less prone to injury.

What I love about Formula Fitness is that they prioritize recovery and mobilization in addition to strengthening. Love all the equipment they have. Getting a massage with my training was a total treat.

Tony is great and I really enjoyed working with my trainer Brent. He’s very encouraging and always patient and flexible with me when I was having wrist or elbow pain. I appreciated that he made recommendations for my diet as well.

Love this place and I’m real sad I’m moving away from it. Thanks all!

I worked with Tony and Jason at formula fitness for about 6 weeks and I really enjoyed that the team took their time to explain different exercises to me and their benefits, but most importantly corrected me when my form was off. 

I did small group training mostly at the gym, and sometimes it can get a little tight but its a small boutique gym so everything cant be perfect. At least I get to avoid huge crowds at other gyms that focus on big groups. At formula fitness the groups at most are 5 members per Trainer.

I loved the fact that the trainers make recommendations for nutrition, supplements, and shoes. They even send us links from amazon to make it convenient.
I would love to see them sell the actual products in the gym. This would be a win/win situation for the members and business.

My Goals were to lose weight and improve my posture.
Already in the short amount of time I have noticed my stomach getting smaller, posture has improved, and my upper body strength has improved.

I am very happy with the experience that I’ve had with the gym and the team. I would recommend it to anyone that needs extra help to learn, get motivated, and experience great results.

I am very fortunate that I have the ability to train with Tony. He's very knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness training and he's very understanding and caring. I have been training with Tony for past 5 months and within few months, I was able to get my heart stronger and feel confident in the way I looked. Tony is a life coach, nutritionists, trainer, and truly inspirational. You cannot go wrong in choosing Tony as your personal trainer. I highly recommend him!

I am so glad I decided to train with Tony. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness and truly wants to help clients with our fitness goals. The main reason I decided to seek a personal trainer was because I was having excruciating shoulder, neck, and upper back pain. I had already seen a doctor and received physical therapy with only temporary relief of pain. I have been training with Tony for about 4 months now and the pain is 100% gone and I feel stronger and with increased energy!! Honestly, Tony changed my life and still is (now concentrating on nutrition)!
Exercise sessions: The exercise sessions always have a warm-up and cool-down. Tony always demonstrates the exercises (sometimes multiple times) and ensures I am using correct form while doing the exercise. Routines are never the same, and he even tailors the exercises to specific areas I want to work on sometimes. Sessions are always fun and very challenging. There are times I feel I won’t make it but Tony keeps me going to the end; I feel great afterwards! The new facility is very nice, spacious, and clean. It is equipped with various exercise equipment.
I can assure you that you will not be disappointed at Formula Fitness!

Tony is amazing! I was looking for a trainer that would change my outlook on working out. He has taught me so much since we started back in June. I have a healthier mindset on fitness and nutrition. He has tailored my workouts to my lifestyle - which is huge for me since I own a business and travel quite a bit.

Overall - things that I couldn't do, I know I can do now. Injuries that have held me back are no longer a concern. If you're looking for amazing trainer this is the place. No judgments on what you know, he makes you feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

Gym is brand new, he keeps up with new tech and equipment.

I started training at Formular Fitness 5 months ago. Tony and Jessica are both great trainers. They both are courteous, detail oriented, positive and friendly. My posture has improved significantly over this short period of time. I've had chronic back issue forever, but now it hasn't bothered me. I love this place and highly highly recommend it for anyone that wants to improve their health.

Tony is a great trainer and very knowledgeable. I do not know another trainer that has learned so much about all body types, muscles and exercises to help. He is very patient and keeps me accountable even though I'm a very difficult person to train due to my schedule. He doesn't just help with exercise and your health but your overall life. I would highly recommend!

First, I'm a gym lover. I have 4 memberships in different places back home in Denver just to keep things interesting. I come to Cali every summer though with the mindset to challenge myself in a new way to see how I can transform my body. I thought I pushed my body to the limit, I thought I knew what a full body workout entailed. Wrong! This summer, meeting Tony, he challenged the way I workout, and how to push myself beyond what I thought I could do. I lost only 10lbs total (counting from my home scale) in the 2 months I trained with him, but what was more impressive is for the first time I have abs peeking through! I'm a single momma to 3 young kids, so let's be honest about when we last saw those! I lost 4" around my midsection, 2" everywhere else, and I went from a size 8 to a size 2!
The beauty of Tony's classes is they build upon each other. While you might feel that they are random, the way they are structured is to always keep your body guessing. When it falls into a pattern you stop growing and building. Even something as simple as changing the speed helps build the muscle and tone the body back together. Having these personalized classes 5x a week, with a bonus boot camp on Saturday mornings were a special treat.
