First Step Fitness

I’m very picky about where I go, people I see, and interests. When I looked for a place close by to workout I came across First Step Fitness on the internet. When I finally visited the place I saw that the owner and employees were very laid back and were focused on training and seemed concerned about my goals to staying in shape and learning new techniques. The trainers are extremely knowledgeable and I am sold out on this group.

Great facility, I came in as guest under my friend's account I loved the club; very clean. The staff was great and helped me with any questions I had. Tons of room and lots of free weights to choose from, I never waited for any machine.  I met with Mike who advised me on the specials, so hopefully I’ll sign after finals and school is finished.

I've been going to this First Step Fitness for about three months now and...it's awesome. I was really busy for the first month and a half but am going about 4 times a week and am seeing huge gains in my strength and cardio. I ride my bike to commute and every day I feel like I am able to get up cap hill with a harder gear than the time before. I am able to do full push-ups again and can do a dead hang pull-up, and I know that I will see nothing but improvement.

An amazing group of people and and an amazing program! All of the coaches are more than willing to work with any skill/fitness level, and genuinely care about their clients. I would highly recommend First Step Fitness!!!

Awesome job, guys. I love bringing my friends over there and getting them hooked. You better watch out, though, or it'll start getting too crowded

These guys are awesome! Mike is my favorite coach because always push me to the limit when ever I work out and the environment is always fun and supportive. What makes First Step different??? Well to start off First Step stands for Optimum Gene Expression Reformatting. No they don't literally mess around with your actual genes under a needle and a microscope but the methods, diets and exercises that they implement are designed to target fitness at it's source - the genetic level! It's definitely a nod to how cutting edge they are. You want to get stronger while getting younger? Go to First Step.! Cheers!

I admit it. I am a former couch potato and the thought of joining a gym scared the beejezus out of me. Tons of people watching your fat a... trying to get less fat . . . not fun. Not fun at all. I started at First Step Fitness right after the first of the year . . . god damn New Year's resolutions . . . and have been going two to three days a week ever since.Sticking with the weight machines (not able to fly freestyle yet) and the treadmill and recumbant bike I have created a routine that works really well for me. So well, in fact, that I've lost 30 pounds since January 1st. The place is always clean. The trainers and members are always friendly. There is usually space enough for everyone (I've only seen more than 12 people there once when I had to go around lunchtime). The music isn't obnoxious . Overall, a great place for your "first step" with a gym.

I've only been there twice - once to sign up and once to work out but I am all ready hooked. The owner is GREAT and the atmosphere is totally laid back. Just normal people coming to work out - no weird body builders or girls strutting around in barely there workout wear. I feel comfortable working out here - which says a lot. They have free parking, and optional tanning and training...

Having spent my life as a Fitness, Yoga and Dance Instructor, I never felt like I would benefit from a personal trainer. Two years ago, a hip injury caused me to limit my activities and my fitness level plummeted. I knew that I needed to do something, and was lucky to find First Step Fitness in Long Beach. From the minute I walked in the door, I knew that I was in a professional fitness center. I was welcomed cheerily by Amanda and was given the tour of the facility and it's state of the art equipment. Amanda interviews each client thoroughly and recommends a program to meet each person's goal. Each session gradually becomes more and more challenging, but more and more fun and rewarding. I have been working at First Step Fitness twice a week for six months now, and I can honestly say that I feel great! My workouts are always creative, safe and never boring. I am always assured that I am doing each exercise with proper alignment, using the appropriate weight for me. As a result, I have regained strength in my legs, toned up my upper body and increased my cardiovascular fitness. Amanda's tips on nutrition have helped me to maintain healthy eating habits. I couldn't be happier with the results! Working out with Amanda is one of the best things I have ever done. Thank you First Step Fitness!

This place is great! Always clean, but can be crowed at times. The staff is great and very helpful. I signed up for personal training package and could not be happier. Its a little pricey, but worth it.
