Tarzana Personal Trainer

This is the best for your body and your sole. Worth more than money. I do hope they find a better site to increase business as y*lp is rather biased towards businesses

I have never worked with a personal trainer before, and thank goodness my first experience has been with Servando!
My goal wasn’t to lose weight, but to increase stamina, strength and muscle tone. I am probably his oldest most ancient client and my only regret is waiting as long as I did to consider getting this kind of support and encouragement before now.
Servando knows how to keep it fresh, fun, and will only push you as hard as he thinks you can take it. I really appreciate his style and his fun out-​going personality. He keeps it fun and light, but all the while, you are getting results!
I could not recommend him any higher. :)

Servando is an amazing personal trainer! He is professional and genuine. His excersice programs are safe and unique. I have been training with him for over two years and with The help of his workout plans and healthy eating guidance, l’ve lost over 35lbs. and I’ve managed to keep it off! He works with you so that you can realistically achieve your personal fitness goals in a safe and healthy manner. The group sessions with Servando are fun, different and challenging. I would definitely recommend my personal trainer Servando to anyone looking to get fit and healthy!

Servando was a great tranier. He is very knowledgeable and has taught me a lot about training in the very short time I have known him. He pushed me to my limits and even through all my nagging and complaining he stuck with me and made sure I finished. I like the way he praises you and pushes you far beyond your boundaries. He also showed me a lot of good techniques to improve my form.
Thanks a bunch!

The best part about Servando’s Bootcamp is that it never gets boring and you get to push yourself like you never thought you could. Plus, you have options. There are different times and locations that can meet anyone’s schedule, so really, you have no excuse! It’s not a boring old gym routine. It’s having fun and mixing it up and making new friends as you go along your fitness journey.
I’ve tried working out at home, but I have never been able to be consistent and being lazy can become very easy. Servando’s Bootcamp gives you a reason to get off your behind!
I go to the 6am classes with Ari. I have SO MUCH FUN and he pushes you because he believes in you. Ari’s knowledge is abundant and with him I know I am in good hands to get me fit again.
I hope you’ll try Servando’s Bootcamp. It truly is so much fun and the trainers obviously care about what they are doing. That to me is the big difference between Servando’s Bootcamp and other programs. They truly care and will do what it takes to keep you getting healthy.

Mechanical Fitness has the most amazing trainers! Best boot camp in LA! Lots of results in mental health and physical health! It’s a wonderful addiction!

I lost weight, toned up, met new people and learned recipes that I will use for life. Yup, all this at a bootcamp in the San Fernando Valley. I living in Reseda, working in both Chatsworth and Studio City I have plenty of Mechanical Fitness schedules and locations to choose from. I haven’t been to this class in a couple months and my body is craving it! Time to sign up, let’s go!

I found Tarzana Boot Camp through Groupon and I’m really glad I did! I have been going since mid-​June and I’ve seen fantastic results. I have lost over 15 pounds — and kept it off! It’s very convenient to get to and they have so many classes to choose from! The trainers are all very motivational and they help you not only with your workout, but with your food as well. They are available after every session to answer any questions you may have. The workouts are very effective, and anyone can do them. There is no age limit! I highly recommend this boot camp to everyone.

I don’t really like working out, but I do it because I have to. Usually, I don’t push myself that much when I work out on my own, so I decided to try this bootcamp which was held at the gym I go to. I found that the class gives you a great total body workout incorporating both cardio and strength training. There are 3 trainers, and if possible, you should try each one to see which trainer suits your personality the best. Here are some of the pros and cons of the classes:
Pros:
–Classes are generally circuit training which quickly helps you lose body fat.
–The trainers are generally supportive and mindful of any injuries as long as you tell them what your weaknesses beforehand.
–The trainers provide nutritional information and guide you on how to eat so that you get the most from your workouts and achieve your fitness goals.
–Each trainer has different exercises in their classes, so if you’re able to take a different class time, this will prevent your body from getting used to the workout routine.
–Classes are held indoors on MWF and outdoors on T/​Th/​Sa/​Sun. Working out outdoors provides a nice change from the gym and mixes up your workout routine.
Cons:
–The latest class times are 7pm on MWF and 6:30 on T/​TH. For me, I work far from the valley and it’s always a rush to get to class on time.
–Sometimes, when new people join the class, the trainer takes up half the time to teach the new people the exercises. They should probably figure out a better way to introduce people to the class. Maybe people could come in 15 mins early to go through all the stations, or post a video on the website that shows people how to do most of the exercises.
–I noticed one trainer can sometimes be too hard on the new people. I realize it is a bootcamp class, but depending on the person’s personality and their fitness level, being treated that way might turn them off to working out and make them just want to quit after a couple classes. He’s a good guy, but I can see how some people might be turned off. For those people, I would suggest trying a different class time with a different trainer, or just give the guy some time. He’s not that bad after awhile, and you will start losing weight if you stick to the program which is what really matters anyways.

–You do about a minute of exercise at each station, and because of that, you may not always have good form and could get hurt. The trainers will correct your form, but like any group class, they can’t be watching you all the time so you need to be mindful of how you’re doing a certain exercise.
Overall, the class is great. I’d recommend to anyone. I’ve definitely lost weight and toned up. The results showed within a month of exercising 3 days a week.

If Unilocal had a place where i could rate 10 stars… Servando’s Boot Camp would be one of the only places that would be deserving of this rating.
I’ve had 8 trainers in the past 10 years of my life… certified and worked for different companies. From Kansas City all the way to LA… and i didn’t loose weight with ANY of them…
Then comes this great special on groupon… «Month Unlimited Boot Camp»…
Really? I hate working out already and now I’m thinking of going to boot camp… But i tried it anyway. and I fell in love…
Charles is my instructor… yes I said IS because I still currently go after the great special that they offered… thats how amazing it is.
You get to choose what times you want to go to boot camp… and outside or inside camps… they have something for EVERYONE… if you work early… late. if you like indoors. outdoors etc. what more could you ask for?
I’ll tell you what more you can ask for… a GREAT instructor… thats the key.
You have to remember I’ve had so many trainers in the past. and its been such a waste of MONEY and TIME and worst of all… I DIDN“T EVEN LOSE WEIGHT!
But with Charles. He is great… He is funny… but He pushes you like none other. The great part about Charlies is that he gets to know you… he knows your limits. and he always knows when i can do more but im just tired… see the key is getting to know your clients. and at Servandos boot camp… they get to know you. they send out surveys to your e-​mail. up to date information on weight loss… holiday emails. its really nice. you feel as if you are part of a family.
They call you PERSONALLY to make sure you are doing fine and if you need help with anything. or how camp is going… ALL I’ve EVER had any other trainer do. Especially the ones from 24 hour fitness is ask «Hey when are you getting more sessions??? I know you have 7 left… but i thought we’d get you going on the next sessions. see my boss is riding me to get these goals up. blah blah blah»… Uhh really? Maybe if you showed you cared A LITTLE about me losing the 15 lbs i came in for and spent MORE than i should have i would consider signing up again…
Its so hard to get customer service anymore… anywhere… but at Servandos Boot camp… not only are you losing weight… but you also have so much information thrown at you…
While we were stretching the other day I found out that I was supposed to drink a gallon of water before noon… eat some protein for breakfast… and that by itself would make me lose weight…
I also found out NOT to look at a scale… because thats what we ALL want to do as soon as we start working out…” oh no i gained 1 lbs since i started boot camp 3 days ago!” …before i would be pissed. but now im EXCITED! why you might ask? Because Muscle weighs more than fat… I’m not only becoming leaner but im gaining muscle where I WANT and losing fat where i don’t want… how great is that?
See Charles taught me that everyone is so concerned with the WRONG things when they want to get smaller… so its not weight you want to look at… its body fat. .
Anyways.I’m not going to give all the little secrets away that Servando and Charlie give to us… TRUST ME you gotta try it out for yourself… THE MOST AMAZING part is that they have a no questions asked 30 day money back guarantee… now what gym/​bootcamp does that?
I didn’t see any other personal trainer telling me if they suck i could have my money back… cuz trust me i would have taken it back…
But i’m gladly enrolled in AUTO pay with Servandos boot camp… because i stay in shape… i get to pick what days i want to go… and if im outside or inside.
I used to kick myself in the but until i would get up to go to the gym… but since im apart of a family now… I even feel bad if i don’t show up… see before i wouldn’t care. but now since my instructor puts in a HUGE effort to make sure i lose what i came to lose and focus on me… i wouldn’t dare think of letting them down.
They get to know everyone in the class (no matter what class you choose)… and they get to know you… At Servandos Bootcamp not only do they make it fun to work out… but before you know it you just lost 700 calories in 1 hour…
So it doesn’t matter if your 18 or 48 trying to get into shape… they make it work for YOU… once again its not about them… Its about you coming in and asking for help… and them caring enough about their clients to make your weight loss/​gain wishes come true.
Do yourself a favor and TRY it out… if you need any extra push or are scared to go by yourself. just shoot me an inbox and I’ll come with you until you are comfortable…
Thats how much i believe in this camp… and the trainers that run it.
I promise if you don’t see a difference after the FIRST day of boot camp in your body… if your muscles aren’t sore (meaning yay you are one step closer to being at your goal!)…
Lunch is on me…
Good Luck! :)

I tried Servando’s Boot Camp 1 $ for 1 week deal and it was great! I went to Servando’s class on Thursday at 6:30 at the park. It was a really nice experience getting to working out outside and feeling the fresh air while you sweat. The group exercise was great because everyone, plus the staff, was so friendly and welcoming. I also tried Charles’ class on Friday at 9am. This class is indoors at their gym facility. These classes focus on circuit training and really challenge you to push your self but also to go at your own pace as well.
The aspect that gave this boot camp 5 stars is the friendly and motivating environment and the trainer’s willingness to personally help you individually and as a group.
I highly recommend!

I have attended Tarzana Boot Camp for a couple months now. I love the daily variety and the circuit style of the workout — it really get’s my heart rate up, which in turn burns more fat. I was in pretty good shape when I started, but this workout still kicked my butt. However, anyone can do it at a lower intensity, and the support from the other class participants is great. The instructors are encouraging and will push you when you need it, but will also help those who are new at working out. I like that this boot camp has both indoor and outdoor classes at various times, which makes it convenient. Believe me when I say this class has become and addiction, and has increased my stamina, strength and has lowered my overall body fat. I recommend this boot camp for anyone looking to achieve great results in a short amount of time.

I have been going to this boot camp for over 6 months and it has been amazing. I have lost 34 ponds and this program really helped motivate me. I feel healthier and it has been easy make healthier choices because I have gotten guidance and support from both the trainers and the others in the boot camp.
The classes are fun. (I would never had said working out is fun before) They really push you to be your best and help you get the results you are looking for. I definitely recommend this program.

This bootcamp is amazing!!! I have lost 34 lbs total and feel better than i ever have felt!!! Its a fun class with good people and lots of good energy! Servando, Ari and Charles are the best trainers in the world! I will forever be part of this bootcamp!!!

I have been going to Tarzana Boot Camp with Servando for 6 months and it is one of the few things that has helped me loose weight and keep it off! I am talking REAL results. In the first 2 months I lost 10 lbs just from 3 days a week at this boot camp. Gyms never worked for me although I have been active my whole life. But this mix of boot camp exercise with personal training has really helped me to shed the weight.
Servando isn’t just a trainer but he will guide you to a better, healthier eating plan as well. He is always open for questions and to give advice. There are so many options during the week for classes that you should be able to make it before or after work or even on weekends.
What to expect when you go to a boot camp class: small groups, variety of exercises that target a specific muscle group, limited cardio, personal training to make sure you are working out correctly, and an overall good work out!
