Fit After 50 SoCal

I liked the variety of weights and movements, felt like it was very whole body

The class is focused on building the core and each movement improves a muscle or set of muscles. I really felt each muscle tonight and some I didn’t know I had.

I really enjoy this class. It has a calming effect as well as a feeling of strengthening. Maggie's voice is calming and encourages. Great way to prepare for the upcoming week,

Hi Zach, The workout today was wonderful. It was challenging but not too difficult. I look forward to attending this class on a regular basis. Thank you.

Zach’s classes are perfect for me. I love how good I feel after class, I have energy and just feel better overall!! Low impact, work the muscles and the pace is perfect for me! Thank you Zach!!

Maryann is a fabulous teacher! A true professional !

Zach is great teacher, he keeps the class atmosphere light and fun! Great work out and appreciate that we didn't do alot of floor exercises. Learned tips on stretching hamstrings! Thank you

I love Sierra’s classes. She is very knowledgeable and plans the routine out well. She is always pleasant and makes the class fun, while giving us a good workout

Carla was amazing as always. She challenges us and helps us make the the workout more adaptable when needed.

Carla is a great coach. It is comforting to have her adjust our form so we don’t injure ourselves. Her enthusiasm is contagious. Great class today!!!

Carla is an excellent instructor. Her demonstrations, cues and feedback are very clear and concise.

I feel so grateful to have found Fit After 50 SoCal Fitness Studio in Lakewood Village. The instructors—every single one—are outstanding and always attentive, offering helpful corrections to ensure proper form. It’s the perfect balance of encouragement and challenge. As someone returning to exercise, I felt genuinely welcomed from day one. Unlike larger gyms that can feel intimidating or impersonal, this studio creates a friendly and supportive atmosphere where everyone is made to feel comfortable. I just took Maryann’s strength class and left feeling invigorated! She introduced some new movements I hadn’t tried before, and it was an excellent, challenging, well-rounded strength based workout. This type of workout is so important for women over 50 years old. I highly recommend Fit After 50 to anyone looking for a positive, motivating, and community-oriented fitness experience.

Rob’s knowledge of yoga.is evident in every class and he focuses on what participants may express as needed. It is obvious that he cares about meeting participants’ needs and his gentle demeanor makes his lessons almost spiritual.

Khrisna led a great class today. I like her format and enjoy her energy and enthusiasm.

My first class was excellent. With his patience and instructions, he helped lower my anxiety. Really enjoyed myself and felt refreshed afterwards. Thank you 😊

Zach is very helpful. He gives modifications for exercises to fit your ability level. Thank you, Zach.

Excellent workout. Challenging, but do-able. Good ratio of straight cardio to weight-cardio. Always like the stretching at the end - wish there was time for more.

Verónica is professional and a motivated coach. Her training approach keeps you focus, engaged and always safe. I love her “keep moving” attitude and energy. She is honest and attentive to detail; she provides you with feedback in the moment to help you get the best of each move without hurting yourself.

Excellent

Maryann was great! We keep moving. The set combinations had enough difficulty to keep the class engaged. At the end of class I felt energized and knew that I had exercised!!

Great class! Even with three new attendees, Marie kept the flow going. She is always kind, caring, and encouraging, whether you are a newbie, experienced, or have physical limitations. ❤️ Keeps me motivated! 👍

I always leave in a better place than when I arrived! I appreciate being able to do what I can as I get back into my fitness routine.

GREAT class as always, very challenging and keeps us on our toes! - Siera is a very kind person and she takes our health/training seriously and it shows! She comes up with different challenges and we appreciate it!

I absolutely loved Mary’s Pilates class today! She was incredibly mindful of correct posture and made sure each exercise was done with perfect form. It was a fantastic and effective session, and I can’t wait for the next class!

I enjoyed my class with Marie today. She was very understanding about my limitations due to injuries I have and gave me modifications. I couldn't do all the exercises but I hope as I continue to go with Marie's guidance I will get better at it.

I appreciate her knowledge and enthusiasm. Ensures we use proper body mechanics. For example, when holding a free weight she corrected my wrist position and it made a difference and challenged my muscles.

Veronica is incredibly motivating and truly knows how to bring out the best in every class. Her energy is contagious, and she strikes the perfect balance between fun and challenging workouts that keep you coming back. Every session leaves you feeling stronger, inspired, and excited for the next one.

Appreciate having agility incorporated into strength and conditioning. Maryann encourages and motivates with a sense of humor. Able to adjust each “routine” to adapt to what each participant needs. Demanding without being stressful…

Khrisna’s class is always full of energy! She is the most fun and encouraging instructor. She makes working out fun but so challenging! I’d love to see more classes with her!!!

Very relaxing and all poses are explained well!

Siera's coaching is great! She was very clear with her instructions and actively walked around to help. I particularly appreciated hearing her offer a modification to someone. That kind of attentiveness makes a huge difference, especially when you've experienced the opposite.

Siera provides great instruction on how to execute exercises. She is always positive and motivating. I appreciate that she checks form and offers tips to get the most out of the work outs in the safest way. I really enjoy her classes .

Class was awesome! Since I am always too mental, class has increased my mine-body awareness. It helps me stay in the present, & improve mental-emotional clarity. I’ve learned to breathe better, which helps me relax & regulate my mood. I just love this class.

Carla is so motivating and fun to workout with!! I keep coming to her classes..love her!!

As always, Khrisna’s workout was challenging but fun! I love her classes. She is always bubbly, enthusiastic but ensures students are using proper form. She always reminds us to rest when needed. She is tough but caring!!

Zach was amazing as always! He always gives us options which I really appreciated today since I have been gone for a while.

Veronica does a great job! Her classes are super challenging said in the best way possible :) . She pushes us and encourages us to not give up on ourselves even when we feel like we’re going to.

I have been challenging myself more lately and so has Zach. It’s really helping me in achieve my goals.

Krishna’s workouts are always a good challenge! She gets you moving and is changing things up so we never get board. Great Monday workout today weeks going to be a good one…

Khrisna's class today

Khrisna meets individual needs and provides outstanding modeling for everyone in the class.

I like this class because she doesn't push you too much, does bench stretching, and instructs you exactly how to do the weight lifting.

Great, as always!

Khrisna is my fav instructor. She’s always super upbeat and attentive. She gives specific choices so you can individualize, and is so quick to give modifications. It’s a tough workout, but goes by quickly. Khrisna always makes it fun.

I love yoga classes with Rob! I always learn something new about our practice but most importantly, his choice of poses always make me feel more flexible, stronger and in less pain than before class.

I enjoyed it very much! Zach, you were very helpful. Also, I was proud of myself, and was able to keep up. The women were lovely. Looking forward to all the different classes.

Zach is a great instructor, trainer and coach! He is helpful, encouraging and provides positive pointers to improve during workouts. Remains kind and considerate of individuals and added in with that, has a good sense of humor which makes his classes enjoyable.

Class was great and Zach was helpful adjusting balance and strength activities for me.

Khrisna was great! She is a lot of fun and explains everything really well. She checks on our form to make sure we are doing the exercises correctly as not to hurt our backs etc. Love her!

Great ! As always

I always feel so good after my workout with Carla !! She is the best !!! Always fun 🤩

Siera is very kind, professional, and patient. I always look forward to her Wednesday morning classes. She knows what senior women need to help improve their fitness, and I appreciate her teaching style.

Thanks for the chance up in style 😃

The workouts are tough but good-

Loved it! My first class met my expectations. Coach Siera helped correct my positions for joint safety. She was very welcome. The other ladies in class were great!

Siera's evening class is perfect at the end of a long day. The class has a good pace, and she does an excellent job of describing the steps for each exercise.

Class was great. Carla adapted well to larger size class. She explains every exercise and corrects when needed. I enjoy her class very much

I loved the format of today's class. I enjoy circuits when we move from station to station, but I felt like we had more active time by working out at our own stations today.

Carla is a very well knowledgeable trainer at the Fit after 50 gym..I enjoy EVERY single class I take with her..she challenges me in her exercises and makes working out FUN!! KEEP IT UP CARLA!!

I liked the mix of upper and lower body exercises and the mix of weights and stretching

Thanks for a wonderful experience !!!! No pressure, workout at your own pace . Very experienced coach Carla Hartwell was encouraging . Well guided instructions on the exercises . Can’t wait to come back !!! Everyone is super friendly.

he is patient, encouraging and calm.

She’s outstanding. Works so well with seniors (like me) and is very patient. She’s the best.

It’s been over a year so I can state that Zach provides us with very thorough and safe workouts! I’ve more energy, elasticity, & feel better. He is very patient, kind, & fun. Wouldn’t change anything!

Excellent physical 🏃 exercises.

I liked the pace of the class and the exercises! Also liked that there was not a lot of chatter.

Maggie is an awesome instructor! She makes sure to cover the workout routine for each body part with precise weights and technique that results in the best possible exercises results. I really feel I get a great work out in all her classes.

It was a great class. Just the right amount of challenge! Would be good to offer both the standard and the modified version upfront so it isn’t necessary to ask for the easier way to do any given exercise.. : )

Great He always makes the class so fun albeit painful 😊😁 Just kidding- he’s a great coach and I know he’ll get me back into shape again I’d give him 10 stars! Peggy

Zach is always professional and gives positive feedback!!!

Carla is a great instructor! Carla offers helpful feedback and modifications if needed and all with an encouraging attitude. The perfect instructor!

Zach kept the class moving…lots of, and a wide variety of cardio.

Your class was awesome. Great workout!!

Training was fun and challenging. Taught a new exercise method, Pylometric. Carla is mindful of individuals physical limitations, provides alternative exercises and consistently motivates everyone to do their best.

As always Carla is informative and fun. Her classes are always challenging. Love her Thursday class.

Always like new moves , not the same old routine. More challenging the better , mix it up and I’m happy!

She is very professional and knowledgeable. Her approach is very Strenght based and in-tune with body positivity. Kristina is energetic but careful enough to know your limits. Always encouraging you to do your best and to challenge yourself without injures. I love her training style ! Proud posture, proud chest!

Class was great. Always a challenge and Carla Is wonderful with helping to correct form. I always enjoy coming to workout.
