The Factory Training

This place has been kicking my butt for over a year now and I love it. The trainers really understand how to get the most out of an hour session. Keith and Alexis always make the training different, make sure that I am using proper techniques, and design workouts that truly address all of my physical deficiencies while meeting my fitness goals.

Let me start by saying I’m an average person, not a pro athlete or someone pursuing sports as a profession. I’m also a 31 year old mother of two. I have been working out at The Factory for a few short weeks now. I’ve never been to a more professional athletic gym in the San Fernando Valley. I was a Crossfit member for a year prior to joining The Factory but I found myself dissatisfied with the results (broader back and shoulders), not to mention the chronic shin splints and peroneal tendonitis I developed from the strenuous Crossfit movements, which has now led me to believe that Crossfit is not a sport for an average person. To top it off, the CrossFit philosophy on the paleo diet is one size fits all– thus, another reason I became dissatisfied with the overall practice and decided to call it quits.
The Factory Director, Mike Guevara, gave me wholesome nutritional advice and after following that advice in just a few short weeks, my husband and I have already began to see some positive results, which have been paired with attending adult classes at The Factory just 3 times a week. Adult classes are challenging but the movements are not as taxing on the body as Crossfit is. Oddly, I have a lot of energy following a workout session. I have been more sore after Factory adult workouts than I ever have with Crossfit or any other workout regimen I’ve tried.
The trainers at The Factory are professionals, not just accredited with a weekend certification or self-​taught like many other «trainers/​coaches» you might see at other gyms. The Factory trainers have educational backgrounds in the fields of Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Physical Therapy, and are Certified Nutritionists. What more can someone ask for from gym? Based on the results I’m already beginning to see and feel, it’s very clear these people know what they’re doing. I highly recommend any average person to try the adult classes at The Factory. Don’t be intimidated by the fact that professional athletes go there. People go to The Factory to become the best version of themselves. As for me, I go to become the best version of myself by surrounding myself with the best there is; and The Factory IS THE BEST in the greater Los Angeles area– HANDS DOWN!

I have been going here for almost a year now and I am still incredibly happy and proud to be part of the Factory Family!
The adult fitness classes are WORK in all the best ways! The trainers care about your safety and that your form is correct. I am constantly impressed with Alexis and Desiree’s coaching. They are great at pushing me to be the best and are constantly challenging me to get better. Every once in a while, I get brave enough to take one of Mike’s classes. All of the classes are challenging, but are worthwhile.
I really feel healthier and stronger since joining The Factory… not just physically, but also emotionally and mentally. I highly recommend taking part!
Thanks for all you guys do, and for making me better!

It pains me to write this, but not because I didn’t enjoy The Factory, but because I’m now 3,000 miles away and can’t get the training I’ve enjoyed for so long.
My search for a trainer started when I was finishing up recovery from a knee injury. Frustrated with the lack of available trainers who had competent knowledge of transitioning back to sports activity (or return to play), I found solace in Mike G and the Factory.
I scheduled an evaluation session so I could see what The Factory offered and for them to hear about what I wanted.
Immediately, Mike knew what I needed and mapped out the areas we’d want to focus on and build. We ramped up the level of training and added tons of dynamic workouts that, frankly, just weren’t available elsewhere.
Every session was a butt kicking and Mike knew I hated it, but loved it.
I don’t hesitate recommending Mike G and the Factory Team for one second. They treat and train professional athletes, collegiate athletes and amateur athletes with the same level of respect and enthusiasm that I’d expect.
Frankly, it’s been a godsend to have had someone with Mike’s level of enthusiasm on your side.

If you want to bring your fitness to a new level, come to the Factory Training and give it a shot.
I’ve been training at the Factory for a few months now, and I take their small-​sized classes designed for adult fitness. There are many reasons why I like the Factory Training. What makes this place stand out is its high quality training at an awesome facility — all with attractive pricing.
The coaches are very professional and hold advanced degrees in exercising. They make sure you train with proper form and help you reach your goals. Mike (the owner) always has a smile on his face :) and the staff is super nice too.
For a private gym, the equipment and amenities at the Factory are really impressive. There are multiple training areas, various exercise tools, free bottled water, and clean towels. With all this, the pricing for group training (small classes) is very reasonable in comparison with crossfit, boot camp, or private one-​on-​one with a personal trainer.
You will definitely get your money’s worth and have a great experience at the Factory!

Our daughter is a ranked junior tennis player and she has recently started training with Mike. After one session, she was motivated to commit to flexibility exercises and make crucial nutritional improvements. Mike is knowledgable, inspiring and extremely no-​nonsense. He strikes the perfect balance of encouraging and pushing to reach the next level. My daughter loves the training and gives her best effort. I feel lucky to have found Mike-he’s a superb trainer.

This place is unrivaled to any training facility in the valley, it is simply the best. Started going 5 days a week about 2.5 months ago and it has been the best decision I have ever made thus far in my athletic career. Cannot say enough about the excellent training provided by coach Mike G, coach Keith, and coach Desiree. Great facilities and an overall great place to be.

Everything about The Factory is nothing short of awesome! The trainers/​instructors are super knowledgeable, engaging, and in tune with their clients. The energy that they bring to the classes is fun and motivating. I usually only lift weights, so adding the variety of adult fitness classes to my training regimen has been a good change of pace for me. The classes have helped with my endurance, cardiovascular and conditioning. I’ve never really done performance training before and am really enjoying it! I can already see that it is helping me get closer to my fitness goals. I couldn’t be more happy about training at The Factory!

Best gym ever!!! I have trained with Desiree, Alexis, and Fani and I can say I get more then my money’s worth. They are not your typical trainers in a basic gym, they actually care and listen. The amount of motivation you get in every class just makes you want to come more and more. I am completing my month here and I can honestly say it was/​is the BEST decision I have made. Mike is amazing, he is so involved and never forgets to give you a high five! I love it! His daily motivation and amazing personality makes it more then just a workout, it makes you feel happy to be there. His funny side is just a plus. I have brought my sister and friends and every single person I introduce agrees it is more then expected. It is the most fun I have had working out. I can happily say I can’t wait to make this my second home, the gym is always super clean, the equipment is new and very up to date, and the trainers are what makes you come back. You have to check them out!!! Okay well I am off to the factory! ;)

The Factory is an awesome facility if you are serious about fitness. It’s especially great for student-​athletes. My 16 yr old daughter has trained there for the past year. She loves to go to her workouts and her trainer, Mike, knows how to keep it interesting and motivating and uses techniques specific to her sport. Her overall fitness and athletic performance is greatly improved.

The Factory is the BEST!!! Mike G and his staff are so knowledgeable and dedicated to their clients! I’ve trained /​workout my entire life and Mike G was the first trainer who got my fitness level to its all time high! Truly life-​changing! Forever grateful, Mike G!

The Factory Training is the best gym! All the trainers are professional, motivating and experienced. Each trainer is very knowledgable and attentive. Their expertise in athlete training contributes to the most amazing results whether you are a beginner or advanced level client. It’s a family atmosphere place and each coach really cares and believes in each person. The results are there after a month of training. You feel great after each work out and can’t wait to do it all over again the next day. It’s great for adult fitness along with kids/​teen training for all sports. I definitely recommend it for everyone. I guarantee, once you start you will not want to stop! It’s the friendliest and the best gym!

The factory is equipped with the best trainers around. The area is clean and uses their space very efficiently. I like to think of the factory as my second home. If you’re looking for somewhere to train as an athlete or just to workout. You will get your money’s worth here.

The trainers are exceptional too (thank you all)! If you’re serious about getting fit and feeling stronger this is the place!

Great trainers and training facility! The environment is one of a kind and it really improves your fitness.

Both my teenage sons Robert and Ryan training with both Mike G and Coach Hutch and we are very happy with there training and knowledge and awesome help!

This place is by far one of the BEST places for athletes to get their training done. My son has been doing his offseason training here while home from college. Mike G. and the staff at The Factory run a top notch training program and it’s evident why athletes from various sports and levels, Developmental to seasoned Professional choose to come here. A.D. is extremely satisfied with the program + the environment and is excited to showcase his improvements during the season!

I brought my son to the Factory to improve his soccer skills, and was extremely impressed with the level of professionalism and serious approach to fitness. The trainer that evaluated him has a degree in Kinesiology, was very knowledgeable and spent the full hour evaluating my sin’s flexibility and fitness levels. We saw positive results right away, I highly recommend this place, if you are serious about fitness and athletics.

The most intense performance and speed training in the valley — no joke! These guys know what they’re doing and will take your son/​daughter to the next level. My son plays competitive soccer and I’ve seen him get faster and stronger on the pitch and with confidence. Coach Mike and their staff is legit! CHECK IT OUT!

My son has been training with Mike and some of the other trainers at your facility. I am very impressed with the results my son is seeing. These professional trainers have focused on his strengths and have given him the guidance and motivation to overcome his weaknesses. The workout sessions will push you mentally and physically and well worth it! Each workout has been tailored to fit his personal fitness goals. He looks forward to his training sessions and is enthusiastic to see rapid results. I am also highly impressed with the professional staff who are always there to great you and assist you in any matter that you have. I highly recommend Mike and any of the other trainers for anyone that wants positive results.
