Our Laguna Hills studio is staffed with coaches who specialize in rehab, chronic pain, and post-surgery recovery.
Racks, dumbbells to 150 lbs, cables, sleds, turf strip, and dedicated corrective exercise area.
Easy free parking right at the door. In and out without hunting for a spot.
Our Laguna Hills location sits inside a premium 24/7 strength facility at 23641 Ridge Rte Dr — meaning you get Arsenal Strength racks, Panatta plate-loaded machines, FreeMotion cables, dumbbells, a turf strip, and amenities like a dry sauna and red light therapy. Most of our Laguna Hills clients tell us they couldn't replicate this equipment at home OR find it at a regular gym at this price point.
The morning regulars are a mix — Aliso Viejo professionals before they hit the 73 toll road, Mission Viejo retirees who've been with us 2+ years, and a few Nellie Gail Ranch parents on the way back from a school drop-off. Around 10 AM you'll see the corrective-exercise clients: post-op shoulder, ACL recovery, hip replacements. We have coaches who specialize in working with clients after major surgeries, around chronic pain, or recovering from a fall. South OC has an older client base on average, and we built the studio for that.
By 4:30 PM the after-school and after-work crowds overlap. Aliso Viejo families after school pickup. Lake Forest engineers who don't want to drive to Irvine. A few couples training together — that's a Laguna Hills signature; we have more couples here than at either other studio. The room can run at full capacity through 8 PM most weekdays.
What stands out about this studio versus a commercial gym in south OC — Crunch, LA Fitness, the Aliso Viejo Lifetime — is that you're not on display. Sessions are quiet, focused, with a coach beside you the whole hour. Nobody is filming, nobody is rushing you off a machine. If you've never lifted in your life, that matters. If you've had a knee replacement, that matters even more.
The pattern: clients pair sessions with errands. Trader Joe's a mile down by the Laguna Hills Mall. Lunch at North Italia at the Shops at Mission Viejo, ten minutes south. School pickup in Aliso Viejo. The studio fits into the day instead of taking it over. We have clients in their 60s and 70s who train here three days a week and use the dry sauna afterward — the recovery side of the facility is genuinely useful, not decoration.
What earns Business Rate Best Personal Training in Laguna Hills three years running (2024, 2025, 2026) isn't equipment — it's the team's specialization in working with the bodies south OC actually has. People who've been sedentary for a decade. People whose knees aren't what they were. People who tried Pilates and felt like they were doing the same thing for two years. Strength training, programmed correctly, changes that — and that's our default.
Book a free consultation. Most south OC clients book their first paid session inside 48 hours. You'll walk out with a plan you trust — or one you can take to any other coach. No pressure.

"I’ve been working with Jake for the past two months, and as someone new to personal training, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He’s made the process approachable and effective from day one. I’m already noticing significant progress and feel stronger and more energized. Jake brings a great balance of expertise and encouragement to each session, and I highly recommend him."
"Jake is an amazing, kind trainer here at this gym that really cares about pushing his clients to their best potential and getting them to reach their short and long term goals. He makes sure that you get your form right, teaches the killer workouts he creates for us, and that we’re good throughout the whole training sesh! I’m glad I finally started this fitness journey with a trainer like him! Def recommend this gym and him as your trainer! Owe it to him for pushing me and getting these 💪🏻’s and to my goals! Thank you Jake! 👊🏼"
"Definitely worth a try, I’ve been working out with Jake and he is great. I got down close to 20 lb in my first two months. They are very beginner friendly but not afraid to push you."
"I can’t recommend Jake enough. His strength training programs are thoughtful, progressive, and tailored to my goals—no cookie-cutter workouts here. Every session blends smart programming with meticulous attention to form, so I’m lifting heavier and moving better without sacrificing safety. Beyond the gym, their nutrition guidance has been a game-changer. Clear, practical advice that actually fits my lifestyle—no extreme rules, just evidence-based strategies and small tweaks that add up. I feel stronger, have more energy, and my recovery is noticeably better. What sets Jake apart is the motivation and accountability. He shows up with positive energy, keeps me consistent, and celebrate the small wins that keep me going. If you want a coach who combines elite strength training, realistic nutrition coaching, and genuine support, Jake is the one. I’m stronger, more confident, and genuinely excited for every session."
"I can't recommend Jake enough! He is incredibly detailed regarding form and technique, making sure I’m always training safely and effectively. He knows exactly how to push me to my limits and helps me achieve things I didn't think I could do. Beyond just the workouts, you can tell he genuinely cares about his clients' progress and well-being. If you're looking for a trainer who is invested in your success, go to Jake!"
"I have really enjoyed my personal training experience with Jake! I was looking to get strong without breaking my ankles in complicated CrossFit classes that aren’t tailored to my fitness level or knowledge. Highly recommend!"
