Malibu Health and Fitness Personal Training

Elizabeth is incredible. Her dedication and passion to your personal wellbeing is unlike anyone I have ever met. Her workouts are tailored to your individual goals and helps you get out of your comfort zone to limits you didn’t know you were capable of. You can train with her at a gym, at home, at the beach or you can get really adventurous and let her choose a non traditional trainer workout like rock climbing! I’ve been recommending her to friends and family for years. She transformed my brother and helped him lose that extra weight in time to go off to college a new man. My brother is incredibly shy but Elizabeth was able to connect with him and really help his self esteem. She not only kicked his butt but she helped change the way he thinks about food and how to live a healthy lifestyle. I highly recommend her for anyone looking to get healthy.

I have been training with Elizabeth for a couple years and couldn’t ask for a better personal trainer. Her knowledge and dedication to her clients is unparalleled. She focuses on meeting your personal goals and every workout is specifically designed to be the most beneficial and productive for your needs. Elizabeth is unique because she has the ability to train at a gym or at a variety of outside areas which brings newness and ever-​changing workouts. She is very attentive to what each client’s goals are, what their limits are, and how far she can push them. Not only is Elizabeth a great trainer, she has also become a great friend. She not only encourages me to keep in shape, but her lifestyle in general is motivating.

Love this girl, if my husband and I could keep going with her we would in a heart beat. I didn’t think it was possible to for such a nice person to kick your butt so hard. When I started with her, I was a limp noodle. But she whipped me into (much better) shape fast. She tracks your progress which is really nice to see yourself doing better each time you do a routine. Consistency is key though! She gave me the jump start I needed so now I can keep up on my own. Also, she took us rock climbing a couple times which was awesome. Thanks Liz!

I had the best experience with Elizabeth. Don’t let her sweet personality fool you, she will push you to your limits! I was nervous about working out because I felt really out of shape, but she was patient with me and adjusted everything to my fitness level. It was amazing to see the results after just a few weeks. I couldn’t have asked for a better trainer.

Elizabeth is wonderful!!! She helped keep me motivated, with creative workouts that were tailored to my body and my goals! She has a great way of pushing and encouraging me! Would highly recommend her!!!

I can’t say enough about Elizabeth. Her personal training is absolutely personal, something I cannot say about many other personal trainers I’ve worked with. She keeps your goals, previous injuries, time constraints, and health concerns in mind at all times, while managing to keep you motivated throughout the workout. I asked for intensity and Elizabeth brought the pain (which followed me for three days), but I was so impressed with how she focused on my form for me to safely perform these movements. She helped me identify some of my weaknesses that I hadn’t identified before and taught me how I can optimize my training efficiency. All personal training concerns aside, Elizabeth is thoughtful, sweet and utterly professional. She truly cares about your progress as much as she cares about your person and she will be your coach and friend at all times. She will not disappoint.

About a year ago, I started looking for a post athletic career trainer. I wanted this person to understand my background and training history, tailor a high intensity workout program and (most difficult/​critical) keep me motivated. Training for lifestyle/​health as opposed to sport/​competition was a completely foreign concept to me.
Upon calling Elizabeth and setting up an appointment, I immediately had my concerns. She was kind, sweet and enthusiastic. I was used to and frankly more comfortable with gruff, cold and borderline unfriendly. I decided to give her a shot though, and I am so thankful that I did.
Elizabeth is as good as any trainer that I have ever worked with, at any level. I trust her 100% to push me to my mental and physical limits while keeping me safe and healthy. She is a master motivator, and knows the right mental buttons to push to get me to perform at my peak. Her workouts are direct, well planned and never dull or repetitive.
Thanks to Elizabeth, I am as happy mentally and physically as I have been since the end of my athletic career.

I have used other trainers in the past and have always been generally pleased with my results, but I’ve never felt the support and made goals for the future the way that Elizabeth has done with me. Before ever working out, we sat down and walked through my aspirations and hopes for our training, and I believe this has made all the difference. She is sure to guide you to get you where you would like to be, and even when she is not with you she sends helpful emails of what you can work on that day. She personalizes her workouts to each client depending on their goals and really cares about getting you there. She may be petite, but Elizabeth SURE kicks your butt and pushes you to your maximum potential. Since beginning with her, my measurements have decreased in everything and I am much stronger, with greater endurance as well. She teaches you tools you can utilize on your own time as well, which is incredibly valuable. Whether you’re interested in weight loss, toning, or gaining muscle– I promise you Elizabeth Simonton will get you where you want to be.

I started working out with Elizabeth 6 months ago. AMAZING. Not just my body went through a total transformation but my overall health did. I lost weight, toned, gained muscle. My stress and anxiety levels decreased. My energy increased. Elizabeth is so patient and calm, and so inspiring and kicks my booty all at the same time. She truely cares about her clients not just as clients but as people. Her positive spirit and love for what she does carries over to make you love your workouts just as much as she does! She always is catering your workouts to grow with you and keep it fun and exciting. I HIGHLY reccommend her!

I’m going to be honest, being that Elizabeth is a petite girl I was not sure if the intensity of her training would be enough for a 180 lb guy like myself. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Her workouts were very intense just like I asked and she showed me some great ab routines I had never tried. I have worked with four other personal trainers over the years from clubs such as Spectrum and Elizabeth is by far the best. I strongly recommend her to anyone looking to get in shape. She makes the pain of working out almost enjoyable! =)

A friend recommended I try Malibu health and fitness after listening to me rant about my inability to commit to an exercise régime. I typically get bored very easily, but Elizabeth, the trainer behind Malibu health and fitness, put a stop to that immediately. I’ve done cardio work, weight training, and am even learning to rock climb-​a fantastic upper body workout-​with Elizabeth and she’s been amazing through it all. Her knowledge is vast and each session with her makes me feel stronger and more capable of reaching my fitness goals. When I told her how much I hated running, she created an incredible cardio-​resistance routine that centered on moving uphill as opposed to straight ahead. It was a little slice of cardio heaven!
If you want a trainer who is motivational-​but not overly chipper, knowledgable about all things exercise-​but never condescending, and who wants you to not only be happy with the way you look, but to achieve the highest level of physical and mental health possible — then Elizabeth is your woman.

Kind, honest, patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging are a few of the words that come to mind when describing her personality and her personal training practice.
Elizabeth’s goals for her clients are not as simple as getting a toned back or flat abs (even though you will get those too). Her goal is to instill a sense of well-​being and teach lessons in fitness, training and diet that will remain long after her work is done.
