Move Strong Studio

I was hanging out with a friend in San Diego for a girls weekend and she asked me to come with her. I have worked out all my life — personal trainers — nutritionists for years. I was sure I knew everything. Was I ever wrong. I took home a routine that I can do on my own at the gym and at home here in San Clemente to get the last 5 lbs I have been struggling with since my daughter was born.

Though I have not personally been trained by Move Strong Studio, I have visited the studio a number of occasions and have seen the owner working with his students. The studio is IMMACULATE which is a good sign and he was VERY accommodating with the students he works with, from elderly students staying in shape to young students training for sports teams. He seemed to know EXACTLY how each type of student needed to be worked. He gave me a quick demonstration and I was impressed by how much I felt the quick moves he taught me. I do plan to work with Move Strong as soon as possible!

Bret Smith is amazing! Not only is he so kind, but he is extremely knowledgeable. He is great at knowing how far to push the body and when to hold back… i would highly recommend Bret to anyone searching for a change, such a pleasure working with him!

Bret Smith is excellent at his craft. Move Strong Studio is easy to find, easy to park, reasonably priced, and best of all, you get Bret helping you achieve your fitness goals. I took his «21 Day Challenge» to jump start my fitness goals, and overall it was a terrific experience. Bret works on what is reasonable and doable, rather than some crazy diet or exercise plan that just can’t be maintained. He shows you what is the better of two choices, and why that choice is better. Highly, highly recommended.

Bret is the man. I have been looking for someone to help push me and my personal fitness goals to a new level. He holds me accountable and improves my overall stability each session. I would recommend him to anyone who needs personal training.

I’ve been training with Bret at Move Strong for about six months. I love the workouts… quick and fun but extremely effective. The variety of things he puts in each routine is amazing. Bret has a good eye for subtle changes in posture to get WAY more out of each exercise and he always finds a way to motivate me to push just a little harder. Bret has helped my posture and confidence, not to mention I’ve dropped a lot of weight and feel absolutely great.
The building is somewhat drab on the outside but Bret’s studio is very nice. Lots of light, great tunes and the location is very convenient, right on 4^th Ave in Hillcrest with validated parking! Bret is flexible and easy to schedule with. Compared to trainers I’ve used in gyms, I find the individual attention at the Move Strong studio much more enjoyable and I’m getting dramatically better results. I’ve reached my goals but plan to keep meeting with Bret because I just love everything about the workouts.

As a ‘mature’ woman, I was hesitant to work on my body to make it stronger, stave off effects of arthritis, and just generally feel younger I found Move Strong Studio.
Bret is extremely knowledgeable, patient and knows when to push me and when to ease up… the studio has a great vibe. It is a peaceful place to go to and be able to concentrate on the exercises without worrying about elbowing someone else for room in which to work out!
I would highly recommend checking Move Strong Studio out if you want PERSONAL personal training and security in the knowledge that the trainer is so knowledgeable about training!
One last note! The studio is easy to find AND there’s ‘FREE’ parking in the building! How convenient is that!!!
