I went to Custom Bodies Fitness with my mother, who is in her 60s and who is a personal training client of the owner, Dave. Shes been working out with Dave for a few months now and has gotten great results - shes getting stronger and has lost 25 lbs or so, and more importantly, is exercising regularly for possibly the first time in her life, or at least in the last 20 years or so! Dave created a great workout for us to complete together - he picked exercises that we could both do, and then set the appropriate loads so we would both be challenged. The exercises were innovative and effective, and it was great to see my mom doing planks! Dave is a great motivator - he pushes just enough to get things done, but isnt yelling and screaming at you. This wouldnt necessarily be MY first choice in a gym, since it lacks some of my favorite equipment (rowing machine, kettlebells and squat rack, for instance), but if youre a fan of cardio machines (bikes, treadmills) and machine-based weight training (as well as some basic free weight stuff) then this gym seems great - it wasnt crowded at all when we were there in the late afternoon, and is very nicely maintained. In short, I wouldnt hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend this gym, and Dave as a trainer, for anyone of my mothers age whos looking to get fitter, stronger and healthier. Dave has a great attitude and is very motivating.

I am a 66 year old woman and I guess you could say that I am late bloomer. At 65 I wrote a book and in that same year I also decided to get fit and healthy. Exercise has never been part of my life so I had no idea where to begin. I visited a few gyms that just didn’t fit and then I discovered Custom Bodies Fitness and met Dave, the owner. He talked to me about exercise, personal training and nutrition. I told him it probably wouldnt work but I made a six-month commitment to exercise and nutrition counseling. One year and 25 pounds later Im still at it. My blood pressure is down, my pulse is lower and all of my blood work is perfect. My doctor says to continue with whatever I am doing as it is working.Dave started out with my trainer and is now my trainer and my friend. In addition, the staff at CBF is knowledgeable and friendly and the gym had a homey, comfortable feel. If this process can work for me it can work for anyone. I have Dave and CBF to thank for my new body, great health and my renewed energy. I wake up each morning without pain or stiffness and can now keep up with my 3 young grandchildren. I highly recommend CBF to anyone of any age who wants to become healthy and fit.

The owner Dave is not honest. He was in financial difficulty with original location no air conditioning and equipment failures...and strung members along then suddenly closed doors with no warning. An email blast was sent out that he reopen bigger and better??? and better was the reason for the move. no explanation why members woke up to locked doors. ths new location is just a squared off section of a volleyball/basketball training center for youth sports complex. its the size of a court with just netting separating the weights from courts. kid noise at peak hours. no showers no water unless you walk across courts. no cardio equipment was brought over. Dave continued to charge everyone on their automatic deduction. many members in our neighborhood are having trouble getting ending the membership still stay away from this place

Ive had a bunch of trainers and been a member at many gyms. Ive stayed with CBF for about 5 years for several factors: 1) Staff is genuinely concerned about your health and goals - Both Scott and Dave are great trainers I work with 2) The smaller gyms allow me to create better relationships with the staff - this ultimately creates a better motivational environment for me 3) Not crowded, plenty of workout gear and machines so Im not waiting around 4) Customized training plans that take into account your activities 5) Major focus on flexibility and balance (most trainers at other gyms just go for strength) 6) Ive suffered from many sports injuries, having trainers that know your history, skill level, and the appropriate limits is key. They also have a great physical therapist Manny on site. Give em a try!

I have been a member at CBF for 3 1/2 years. Every time I walk in the staff greets me and refers to me by my first name. I love the fact that they always acknowledge me and ask me how I am doing and if there is anything they can help me with. At other gyms, I would just be another number walking in. They really make me feel I am a part of their family. The employees are such wonderful people. They really care about my health. Clearly, they are trained professionals. I love the fact that they walk around and greet all their members, and let them know that they are here to help them. Scott is an amazing trainer who recognizes the limitations of people but will push us a little to help us realize that we can do a little more. If you are looking for a fun place to work out then CBF is the place to be!

I cant say enough good things about Custom Bodies Fitness. I have belonged to a few different health clubs in my years and never have I felt so comfortable than when I walk into CBF. But for me, its more than about feeling comfortable. Its about the attention I feel from the staff at CBF. The owner, Dave, is a gem to work with. He is incredible kind & patient. Which for me, is a must :) And getting to know him & a little about his background, I definitely feel confident in my own abilities to make changes in my own body - and overall health. Ive even learned more about nutrition & how what Im choosing to eat can affect my body, and hinder my progress. Ive learned, its not about dieting, but choosing a better diet. Thank you, Dave! You are amazing!!!

After being a member for years at LA Fitness and 24 Hour Fitness, I wanted to find a health club that would be more personal and actually care about helping me. I needed to lose weight and feel better about myself, which I had been trying to do for years with little success. When I found CBF, I couldnt believe the difference in trainers, staff and level of expertise.I got a trainer 5 months ago and since that time, they helped me lose 57 pounds (no way I could ever have done that on my own). Great environment, great staff, comfortable, non intimidating atmosphere. The biggest plus however, is that they still treat me like I was their most important client. Ive never had that experience from any other business.

I had driven past the center that Custom Bodies Fitness is in quite a few times. I finally stopped in one day. I was greeted with a big smile and an energetic "hello" by Brantzen. I expressed that I was interested in working with a personal trainer. He gave me a tour and explained the options of personal training packages available. I felt at ease from the first moment I stepped inside CBF. The gym is clean and not overcrowded as I have found many gyms in Irvine to be. I am thoroughly enjoying my sessions with Brantzen. He is knowledgable and has a positive energy. He motivates me and above all, he is patient with me. Thank you CBF and Brantzen for welcoming me into your family!
