Debut Industries

JOHNNY IS THE BEST!!! I was so nervous to see a personal trainer as I A. hate working out, and B. have a really bad neck injury. I chose Johnny because his fee is WAY cheaper than other personal trainers, and I knew it wouldn’t cost me an arm and a leg to see him twice a week. Johnny made me feel comfortable immediately, and really listened to what my goals were. He altered workouts for my neck injury, gave me a basic nutritional food plan, and kicked my ass in the best way. He will push you in a loving a way, and will keep you inspired and motivated. I live up a steep hill in Silver Lake, and I will never forget the day I walked up it and had no problems (usually I would huff and puff up the hill, take a break, and feel like dying). This was only weeks after starting with Johnny. It is an incredible feeling to feel your body change and realize your personal strength. I started seeing Johnny a few months before my wedding. By altering my diet in a healthy way, and seeing Johnny twice a week, I lost 15 pounds. I also gained muscle and felt amazing on my wedding day. My dress had a low back and my many people commented on my back definition. I didn’t even know what back definition was! haha. ANYWAY, long story short… if you live in the LA area, just go to Johnny!!! He is worth way more than a gym or anything else you could possibly do to try and change your body.

Johnny has been training me for 1 year and I can sincerely say that he is exceptional in every way! He has empowered me not only physically, but mentallyl. His style of training is holistic, realistic, direct, and creative. I never get bored with my workouts. I laugh, yell, grunt, cry and Johnny is right there pushing me forward, never allowing me to give up. Positive energy exudes throughout his home gym. It is such a great environment to workout in – indoors and outdoors. Johnny is very professional and is well educated in health and fitness. He knows that the study of health and fitness is forever growing, therefore he continuosly educates himself and stays up to date with the latest research. Since I have been training with Johnny, I am a better person to myself. His training sessions are also mentally therapeutic. I have learned so much about myself and have a much more positive outlook on life. I highly recommend Johnny to anyone that is ready to transform themselves to a healthier, stronger, and positive human being – spiritually, mentally, and physically.

Johnny creates an environment where you know that your life and health are uniquely important and deserving. After training with Johnny for six months the positive effects in my strength and health are noteworthy. But more importantly, everything else I do in my life feels easier and more productive, because he has changed my entire relationship to health, exercise and lifestyle.
Johnny has a wealth of knowledge about fitness and nutrition. He teaches from his heart and you can tell that he is sincerely invested in your success. He makes it fun and he always makes me laugh, but don’t be mistaken… he also is extremely careful and precise. Johnny is always «in the moment» and that allows and encourages you to be there as well. He individualizes the workouts in a fluid manner to push you to your most productive level. His workouts are full of surprises and challenges and I never get bored. I was someone who used to dread workouts; now my week feels incomplete without my training sessions.

I’m a law student and life get rough! Johnny trains each client to suit her individual needs. Thus, he’s trained my mind, spirit, and body to be strong, healthy, and resilient. Now when life gets tough, I know that I not only have the mental but also physical endurance to fighting!

Exceptional fitness training technique! You get your time and money’s worth with Debut industries. He motivates you when you just don’t feel up for it and gets you through and to your goal no matter what! The end result is feeling confident, strong and looking like a million bucks! Because we love it!

I found Johnny at Debut Industries because I took his spinning class at Pedal Spin Studio several times and loved his energy and approach. I decided to go to for personal training because I wanted to build in some accountability since I’d let go of my regular workouts due to work and family responsibilities. I figured meeting him twice a week would keep me on a regular work out schedule.
One some off days, I go to his spinning or group fit classes and sign up in advance to keep the workouts regular. I was an athlete in high school and have kept up running and working out and have a lot of experience with trainers. Johnny is technically excellent.
Pros: He trains out of his own house so if you don’t belong to a gym you don’t have to pay extra gym fees. It’s also good if you’re private or have celebrity issues (which I don’t) but it’s still nice to have complete privacy. He has a confidentiality provision where he promises non-​disclosure — he takes privacy seriously. This private training is private. You won’t be running into anyone here.
At his home gym — you work inside and outside. It also shows you how you can use your own home for workouts. He has a great hill view and has stairs in his hillside back yard that he uses as well.
His attitude is realistic and long term. He trains me only twice a week because he wants me to do other things on your own and build it into my lifestyle. This is his second career after a successful 1^st career so he knows how you can let work take over your life and ignore your own body. He understands that most of us aren’t going to be working out 2 hours a day every day and he is a believer in showing how you don’t need to spend more than 45 minutes at the gym on a given day.
His workout builds a combination of strength, flexibility, core, cardio and helps with other sports. I love to run and I like spinning and I leave a training session able to do other sports or activities the next day. I have the good soreness that comes from pushing myself with «no excuses» (one of his stock sayings) but I am not crippled or so sore that I have to miss a run or spinning class.
Pricing is reasonable and he wants people to afford a trainer. He’ll let you pay by week or by package which gets an even better price.
His personality is enthusiastic, positive and motivational. But he’s all business at training and doesn’t chat (unless you need it) but he moves fast.
I didn’t need to lose weight but he’s had people that he’s helped lose weight that I’ve met in his spinning classes. I just don’t want arms that have to be hidden in long sleeves and want to be fit for my demanding career. And he’s helping me build my strength. So he adapts his training to your needs and goals.
As a woman lawyer who’s 15 years older than him — I found him to be mature, relatable, extremely reliable and honest. As you can see, I’m a fan. As personal training is individualized and needs to be a good fit (like picking a doctor, lawyer or shrink), you could take one of his classes at Pedal Spin (Montrose or South Pasadena) and see f there’s a fit. He gets pretty booked but he fits his clients in and schedules weekly to adjust for your changing schedule.
Free parking on street. He provides water and towels as well.

I’ve experienced over 15 personal trainers, and I can honestly say, WITHOUT a DOUBT Johnny Debut has been the only trainer to make me look at the bigger picture. I always wanted a quick fix and asked for what I got but long term results were not being met. Johnny Debut and Debut Industries has taught me that health and nutrition and my everyday tasks must all work in tandem. In the ten years I have committed to fitness, for the first time, I HAVE ABS!!!
