Simon Hu Fitness

I’ve been an athlete and have been working out my whole life. I decided 2 months ago to find myself a personal trainer. I found Simon and decided to see how it went. At the first meeting we were both very upfront about how he was going to train and what I expected out of the training. It has been about 2 months now and I could not be happier with my decision to train with him. We have become very good friends and he is a great trainer. He constantly pushes me and always keeps check to see how I am feeling and training on my own. If you are looking for a great trainer and a great individual to train with I highly recommend Simon.

Simon is one of the best trainer’s I have met so far. He really takes the time to understand your goals, and gives a detailed explanation of what you need to improve on. Simon also goes to great lengths for injury prevention, and is adamant about listening to your body. I highly recommend Simon to anyone looking to get in great shape. He will tailor your workout to your specific needs to ensure your success.

Simon was recommended to me as a trainer through a friend who was taking one of his classes at another private gym. After meeting Simon for our first initial training session, I knew he was the trainer for me. His passion for fitness and helping others is inspiring. He’s very knowledgeable– I like that he not only aims to correct your form when working out, but he aims to improve your overall health/​fitness goals by tailoring/​customizing the training sessions to your strengths/​weaknesses. He’s committed to each of his clients as he always gives you his undivided attention during each session and most importantly, he’s accommodating to your schedule to help you find time to work out.
Simon is an amazing trainer– he genuinely cares about your fitness goals by following up via text and ensuring you’re staying on track outside the training sessions by eating clean.
If I didn’t have to relocate to Santa Clarita, I would totally continue my sessions with Simon.
If you’re looking for a personal trainer that is genuinely invested in your fitness goals– you should give Simon a call. You won’t be disappointed.

I was introduced to Simon from another trainer so I was kind of skeptical at first. I knew after our first meeting that he was the trainer for me. He is very professional, knowledgeable and comfortable to be around with. He gives you 100% of his time when you are with him and is constantly checking up on you via text. He loves to help others meet their goals and is really passionate about training.
Whether it’s to lose weight, gain muscle, be more fit, eat more nutritious, or work on certain areas, Simon can help you with anything as his workout plans are customized unlike the personal training you receive at those big name gyms…
During my time with him my progress has increased dramatically and I’ve lost around 10% body fat.
I highly recommend him, so give him a try!

I recently made the decision to make a change in my life for the better and trust me I didn’t think I had what it took. Having Simon as my trainer definitely made it easier and fun at the same time. Not only did he motivate me to workout, but also gave me useful tips on what to consume to maintain a balanced diet. He is very knowledgable and passionate in helping me reach my fitness goals. I would definitely recommend him to anyone trying to make a change to living a healthier lifestyle.

Trained with Simon for a short period and must share that I enjoyed my training sessions. He is well educated in fitness and nutrition (which i love and is one of the main things that attracted me; always providing you with tips for at home workouts), is constantly checking on you (making sure you stay on track), is never on his phone, tries his best to fit you in a timeframe that best works for you, and has a charming personality. If I didn’t have to relocate back to the San Fernando Valley, I would have continued training with him :) Do not let his young appearance fool you, he will get you in shape! :)

I have been going to Simon for a couple of months and as promised have seen great results. By following his tips and workouts as well as diet I can see results in a few short months! I highly recommend him as a trainer and will continue to be a customer to keep improving my physique and healthy lifestyle!

If you’re looking for a trainer that is professional, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, then look no further than Simon Hu. Over the last several years, I have had the opportunity to train with several different personal trainers, all with varying levels of experience. I can say without a doubt that Simon is one of the top trainers in the area. Whether you are a hard gainer looking to gain muscle or someone who is overweight looking to shed those extra pounds, Simon’s expertise allows him the opportunity to design a custom training program tailored to your profile and suited to your needs. As a hard gainer myself, I have been pleased with the results I have seen thus far training with him, and I’m excited to see where it takes me. All in all, if you put in the work and follow Simon’s advice, you will absolutely see results. Results don’t come overnight, but I know with my hard work and efforts, coupled with Simon’s passion and knowledge for fitness, that we will go far. What are you waiting for? Call Simon today and get on the right path to results. Your future body awaits you!

As a previous hater of anything physical, especially the bad rap that personal training has received through places like LA Fitness or 24; my choice to take on Simon as my trainer was a personal one that included many reasons. I first met Simon at a different private gym in Pasadena, one that specialized in boot camp style workouts, TRX, and power lifting. Through those classes, I learned so much about my form, technique, and functionality of my workouts and how I could improve. When the class setting-​style workouts weren’t working for me anymore, I sought out Simon for an assessment and was able to isolate what my goals were, identify my weaknesses and strengths; and outline a plan of action. His knowledge and years of education in kinesiology, nutrition, and fitness far outweigh any other trainer I’ve worked with. I also disclosed my personal medical history, which affects me in ways of nutrition and working out, but Simon has been an absolute champ with not policing my nutrition and just saying what he needs to say in a direct way.
I see him twice a week, and on those days, we put in WORK. I will admit, sometimes I get bitchy because I think I’m tired or didn’t like my form etc. but Simon is so good at getting me back on track and not focusing on my bad attitude and helping me try to get the best workout I can for that day. I am probably his one client that openly swears at him because the workout is tough, but he takes it like a champ :) Super bonus: Simon is NEVER on his phone when we are working out; which is a Godsend because I see it so much with other trainers, it makes people feel ignored or not the focus of the trainer’s attention.
I love the gym we train out of, Pasadena Strength and Conditioning, the name speaks for itself, none of those single movement machines that isolate small muscle groups; the gym consists of squat racks, green turf, kettle bells, free weights, and limited cardio machines for interval and warm ups. My favorite/​feared part is the «box» in the back; which is on a slight incline, and has all equipment associated with crossfit. Our workouts consist of moves that incorporate a large group of muscles, or we super set moves to get the most burn. Simon tailors all workouts to the person’s goals and needs, not just a boring generic set; I know this because he also trains my bf :) My biggest accomplishment thus far is that I’ve worked my way up to doing box jumps; I’m terrified of heights/​falling and I could barely clear a 5 inch surface when we started, but I think I’m up to like 14 or 15 inches, which might not be much to others, but is amazing for me!

I’m honored to write Simon his first review! I trained with Simon and had a wonderful experience. His knowledge of fitness goes way beyond just lifting weights and helping his clients lose weight. He has a genuine desire to make sure his clients change their lifestyles to become healthy and strong. Not only did he help me start my path to a healthier, fitter body but he also addressed my physical and mental weaknesses in order to become a more balanced person inside and out. I have had knee surgery on my left knee and I have a tendency to favor that side during workouts. Not only Simon did have me do workouts that addressed that problem but also gave me the knowledge to do exercises on days when I wasn’t training with him so that I could learn to overcome it while on my own as well. I am very happy with everything I gained (and lost!) with Simon and I can definitely say I highly recommend him!
