Clientrainers San Dimas

Awesome gym for many reasons.
No doubt that this place has been through a lot but James has definitely worked his ass off keeping it together. If you’re reading, know that this place’s history likely contributed to its rating. I advise taking a look at most recent ratings and then visiting in person.
Everyone who exercises here is extremely friendly and nice, courteous and well mannered.
There is NEVER a wait on equipment and Clientrainers has everything that big box gyms have and more.
Features:
machines
free weights (Dumbbells, barbells, bumpers, kettle bells, med balls)
Olympic weightlifting platforms-​2 formal platforms
multi use rig (pull ups, trx, squatting/​pressing/​benching)
Cardio equipment (treadmills, rowers, stepmills, elipticals, recumbent and upright bikes, spin bikes
Sparring room
Stretch areas (matted)
Additional equipment:
Agility ropes, ladders, plyo boxes, jump ropes, monster bands «pull up bands», cones, etc
Aside from the equipment itself there are also a lot of classes offered as well as personal training.
Also featured is child watch.
Not featured: pool, sauna.
In regard to the billing issues some people have had, do your homework-​read your contract, ask questions for clarification and be patient.
I pay for 3 memberships (mine initially and then wife and mom after I joined). The 2 latter memberships were charged a late fee due to my negligence of a new card not being updated in their system quickly enough.
James solved the problem in a timely manner, knew I had tried to fix the issue before it happened and was able to credit my additional memberships for an equal amount as the late fees DESPITE THE FACT THAT I HAD SCREWED UP.
All in all, this place is awesome.
I definitely recommend this place to others.
I come here about 5 – 6 times per week between 4 – 6 pm. It’s usually the after work rush and I still do not have to wait.
Everyone is very helpful and hard working.
I had previously worked 10 years in the fitness industry. My best advice to anyone who is anxious about being sold is this, know what you want and what you can pay before you go in. Market membership prices are about $ 35/​month on average not taking into account a special rate or long term (1 – 2 years paid in advance contract). Typical personal training prices are about $ 60/​session/​hour.
Have a goal in mind, price point (budget) in mind, and have time to take a look around and sit down/​negotiate when you go. You won’t regret it.

Do NOT join this gym unless you want to be charged for the rest of your life. It’s been a month since I cancelled my membership and I’m still getting charged. The girl at the front desk was unhelpful and had no idea how the cancellation process works. She said she was unsure of how long it would take to cancel and who would take care of it. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if she lost my cancellation form or just forgot about it. I am not the only one that have experienced this. Take a look at Julia and Brian M.‘s review and you will see that they too are being scammed out of their money. Save your time and money and find a different gym to enroll to.

I really love Clientrainers and all of the staff that works here. I started using the gym when it opened a few years ago and have stuck with them through their transition. The atmosphere is great and the people that attend this gym are also really friendly as well. There’s a variety of different classes to take that are free, and also some classes that are provided with an additional cost to your monthly membership.
I enrolled in the strength camp two months ago and LOVE the class. I can definitely see the results and the trainers that run the class are awesome. There’s a 5:30 am strength camp class taught by Kam (who is super encouraging and motivating) and there’s a 6:30 pm class ran by either Johnathon, Ador, or Joe. All three are great and bring different workouts and ideas to the table. The class runs Monday — Thursday, and some of us show up on Fridays and do a workout from the previous week. I really enjoy the class and can see the difference in my health and body. I almost forgot, the glue that holds it all together– one of the owners, James. I signed my contract with him 3 years ago and since then have come to know him more personally. He’s a great person with the most positive attitude and is super cool! He’s helped me sign up friends and family and is also a trainer at the gym.
On a different note, my younger brother (now 17 years old) started religiously coming to the gym about 18 months ago. He was 15 years old, 5’6″ and weighed 245 pounds. He was going through a rough transition from junior high to high school and was made fun of for his weight. He started coming to Clientrainers and immediately loved the atmosphere. He liked that no one stared at him funny or judged him for being there. He worked his butt off, and in one year lost 97 pounds and grew 8″. I can see how much this changed not only his appearance, but his confidence overall.
Clienrainers provides a clean and comfortable environment and out of the 3 other gyms I’ve had memberships to, they are my favorite, by far. I rarely have to wait for a machine to be available, and even though it gets busy and has its rush hours for the day, it still feels very personal and private there. One of the reasons I love it so much!

I recently joined Clientrainers San Dimas, even after reading the previous reviews. Apparently this gym is under new management. I needed a gym that had the machines/​equipment of a commercial gym and the platforms/​squat racks/​kettle bells of an olympic gym, and this gym has it. 4 deadlift platforms, like 5 squat racks and plenty of pull up bars. It also has a huge studio for your warm up/​cool down needs. The gym is smaller than a 24 hr fitness/​la fitness, but fellow members are really nice. The weights are always racked and rarely ever on the floor, and most members seem to rack their weights after using them. Solid review thus far and would recommend you give this gym a shot and see if it fits you. A plus is the drinking fountain has a special function to easily and quickly fill up bottles!

By far the WORST GYM I made the mistake of joining. Thank goodness I got rid of them. If you would like to be randomly charged during your membership and continuously charged AFTER ending your membership then join here! It’s a scam and the gym isn’t even anything near as good as other gyms around!

I’m only giving this place one star because of the newer equipment other than that I would have to say this gym is way below standards both as business and as gym itself. First of all, the atmosphere is unwelcoming, the staff isn’t very friendly or helpful, and the management is horrible. Like many members have stated, BEWARE of the billing procedures at this gym. I had the same problems with surprise charges and getting double billed on my credit card. I just left the gym two minutes ago because their place was closed. It’s Sunday exactly 5pm and it’s NOT a holiday. According to their business hours posted on their door the gym shouldn’t be closed until 7pm on Sundays. I have never received a notice stating their business hours have changed so I am assuming the staff felt it was kind of slow so they closed up early. Needless to say, I will be canceling my membership and I will be asking them to credit or pro rate my account because this is not the first time this has happened. Talk about being inconsiderate to fellow members. I guess I’ll go run at the park. Looks like I’ll be joining UFC down the street.

I have had a very good experience on my first visit to this gym. I find it very clean and the equipment are pretty new. As an all around athlete working out at 24 Hour Fitness for many years, I find it refreshing to use different equipment that challenges me to meet my goals. I was very pleased how welcoming Tyler from the front desk treated me, and showed me as a new comer where different equipment and workout areas are. Also, It was very nice to see the owner being friendly and chatting with various members including me. I observed some trainers there who are genuinely interested in helping their clients to meet their goals.

I’ve been coming to Clientrainers gym for several months now and I have to honestly say that this is the best gym I have ever been a member at. If you’re a serious lifter you know the typical story at commercial gyms and the constant flack you receive for training with intensity.
If you’re a weightlifter, powerlifter, crossfitter, or bodybuilder who likes to lift heavy weights then CT is the place for you. Forget 24, la fitness, gold’s, and all of these other chains that condemn your passion.
With platforms, bumper plates, a rig, multiple squat/​power racks, tons of free weight, countless barbells, all the machine/​cardio equipment you could ever need, and multiple fitness classes, Clientrainers leaves nothing to be desired.
Best of all, you get all of these benefits and amenities of a premium gym at a bargain price tag. Do yourself a favor and go in to check out the gym, they offer free trials! Tell them Steve sent you.

I’ve been going here since nov of last year and I think it’s a great gym! I love that it’s not overcrowded and it’s very clean. It has a great family friendly appeal. I’ve been to other gyms that are dirty, over crowded and have a bunch of oversized gym rats walking around. It caters to every type of person from stay at home mom to athletic competitor. I think they are always striving to make the gym better. I also highly recommend Dawns yoga class!!!

I think it’s important to give a review that will help the owners make positive improvements on this business. Gym and Studio atmosphere is important to me. I always hoped to walk in to this gym expecting a high energy, but it was the opposite. The atmosphere was to dark for me, it felt cold and feels empty with no
life inside. When I did attend I noticed employees /​trainers not really engage and welcome members. Nobody really even acknowledged me with a warm welcome. I also notice some trainers are on their phones while they were training members, that’s was a huge turn off for me. I visited this facility for a challenge I joined, but I couldn’t get myself to work out here outside of the challenge. The only positive thing was joining Dawns Challenge, she provided a fun and challenging program for that I was happy. I hope this helps create a better environment.

DO NOT JOIN THIS GYM!
I had to cancel my credit card just so they would stop charging me. I cancelled my account and they had the nerve to charge me for the month after that. Then when I reversed the payment with my bank they had the gall to charge me another fee. Avoid this gym at all costs unless you’re committing to them for life because they’ll keep charging you every month.

Took a while but now i agree DO NOT GIVE CREDIT CARD NUMBER! They will just charge whatbthey like and add fees. been a memeber for 2 yrs and now they just throw in an anual fee without notice. I had already switched gyms because machines always seemed to be broken when i would go in or elipticals would be wobbley. But kept memebership just incase i needed a gym close by but lesson learned they officially suck :/​if you are looking for a gym just wait for Crunch to open up down the street.

Love the gym good equipment, nice staff, cool people and lots of speace. Been going there since October and wouldnt go to any other gym. Never had any issues with the staff. Very clean and organized.

Left this gym about 3 months ago. I would rather go back to 24hr in Glendora. As of now, I will be waiting for the new Crunch opening up, if not 24hr it is.

I was here from the beginning… and yes, there was DRAMA with a capital «D» between the owners. Then, the place shut down after an agreement was reached that one owner would be bought out… I don’t know the whole story and don’t care to know. What I know now is for the past 7 months, this gym is exactly what I want in a gym.
Whether you do cross fit (ughh) or boxing, strength training, core strengthening, this place has what you need. After the transition, they honored my past contract and just kept on with the same payment. I also like the fact that you can purchase a group of personal training sessions for a reasonable price. I have been in the game for 20 yrs and still need that kick in the butt to keep my accountable and motivate me to show up on days I would’ve skipped.
I don’t know about other people’s experience, but I have to meet a worker that has been anything but professional and friendly. When’s the last time you needed a spot and asked a gym owner or worker for help and they jump up and help? Try that at one of these box gyms and you will be lucky to find anyone who works there that knows what a «spot» is.
I enjoy this place and hope it does well.

Let’s just start by saying I’m very disappointed by the service of this new gym. I was a member of the old gym this took over. First they explained that the old owner was cheating his customers and decided to sell this gym. My wife and I stayed because we like the people and atmosphere of this small gym. That soon changed!!!
By the beginning of the new year the gym had officially changed and we started to see it decline. There were multiple problems with the new gym. First, not only did the «new» owners charge us for our membership, the old owners were also charging us. When we went in to straighten it out we kept being told «Kim» was the only person that could help. No call back or help from Kim or anyone else! We tried for months to clear it up, having to eventually cancel our credit card to stop being charged. Nothing has ever been refunded to this date, almost $ 300 in charges from both parties. The final straw came when Client trainers were now reporting us to the credit agencies. Keep in mind, we haven’t used the gym since December 2013, due to my wife being pregnant and lack of time to work out.
When we finally lost it and had to walk into the gym to get our membership cancelled, we once again we’re given a run around. Since they screwed us so bad, we weren’t leaving until they cancelled our membership (which for record, we never joined or signed anything for Client trainers and weren’t their member). The last slap in the face was being charged for a «membership cancellation fee» of $ 50 for each of us. Again, nothing ever has been refunded for the service that was never provided.
During all of this, both my wife and I were contacted by a former employee and we were both told this is a «game» that these guys play and no actual ownership ever changed. This was very upsetting to us, whether true or not, they didn’t seem to want to help us handle our problem.

I have been looking for a new gym for about a month now and I came across Clientrainers after eating sushi across the street. The gym sparked my interest with the $ 10/​month Grand Opening sign. I came in last week and took the tour and found that they had EVERYTHING that I needed for powerlifting (squat rack, bumpers, chalk, mobility equip., and round weights). Registering was quick and easy.
Today was my first day at Clientrainer and I met the owners and some of the training staff. The staff is friendly and willing to help and they don’t mind if you drop the weights or make a little noise, which was a big plus. Whether you’re training for aesthetics, boxing, crossfit, powerlifting, etc. They have just about everything you need.
If you’re looking for a new training facility that will give you more than what you can bargain for, I would highly recommend this place. I am quite impressed with clientrainer thus far. I will update my review after a few weeks.

If you’re looking for a good place to work out without distraction, this is the place. I’m not one for classes so, I can’t speak to that.
It’s clean, not crowded, kids club is great and has the equipment I need. We had a problem with billing in the beginning but, it was taken care of. Never had a problem with the staff or owners.
I’d recommend checking this place out.

Ok so I give 4 starts primarily because the equipment is brand new, clean, not a lot of foot traffic and the trainers I work with are awesome. It is nice that they take the time to know everyones name even of not their direct client. Yes it is small gym but they do not have to make an effort to know everyonr but they do. They are all pretty cool and friendly.
They have a variety of classes available such as Spin, yoga, cross fit, piloxing, and boxing to name a few. There are no classes that I have noticed on Sunday; which, would be beneficial for those of us that want to attenpt classes on our weekend days off. Classes are subject to change or be cancelled but I am assuming that is because they are still trying to tweak all the new classes and instructors they now have. Instructors and trainers are pretty clear with exercise instructions and are motivating.
There is a locker room that has lockers of course, shower — basically a normal gym set up to clean up or use the restroom. There is also a cool water fountain that allows you to fill up your water bottle without having to tilt and struggle to fill the bottle. If you like to groove to music while working out there are usb ports on some of the equipment and a headphone jack. There are 3 tvs that help keel you distracted as well.
They play some good up beat music but when training at certain times of the day it can be too loud.
I could go on but basically it is a gym and not as bad as some of the reviews may suggest. There was an ownership change and with any company that trsnsition can be rough but there are blue skyies ahead so get to the gym and get in shape.
As far as parking there are about 20 spots in front of the facility and side parking in the adjacent area of the mini shopping center. Oh yes and for those of you with younger children they have a kid zone and they have fitness class for kids.
Finally keep in mind you get what you put into anything in life.

You want to lose weight? Then RUN, don’t walk, AWAY from this place!!!
Ugh. Where to start??? First of all, during the «transition» from previous owner to new ownership, I was double charged. A fact made even worse by the fact that the gym was completely CLOSED during this time. Still waiting on my refund from that debacle… Now that the gym is finally open, I have to say I wasn’t that impressed. For the hype and inconvenience, I would’ve expected much more! The new staff, while friendly, seems more interested in talking to each other than actually helping customers.
I had another friend who cancelled her membership in December and was charged for three more months after that, including double payments and she’s now fighting to get back almost $ 150. Makes me very scared now that I’m cancelling my membership and about to go through the same thing. You can bet I’m going to be checking my bank statements!!!
Bottom line is, as far as small gyms go, you can get MUCH more for your money elsewhere.
