If you're looking for a gym that can help you achieve your fitness goals, Groundwork fitness in Long Beach is the best place to go. Gio is such a wonderful person and an amazing trainer. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about her work and clients. Her workouts are always fun but at the same time challenges your body and mind to reach your fitness goals. This gym not only helped improve my physical well-being, but also helped me become stronger mentally. I highly recommend this place!

I can't say enough good things about Groundwork Fitness. I've been going here for the last few years and have loved it. Gio's passion is helping people get fit and her personalized attention has made a big difference in my personal journey towards fitness!!! Definitely 5 stars!!!

Gio is the best trainer! You're always doing something different and workouts are never the same. I've been getting consistently more lean and gaining more muscle. I can't say enough great things about Groundwork and Gio! 10/10 would recommend.

Groundwork Fitness is an excellent gym in downtown Long Beach. Each class is different everyday providing a full body workout with a good balance between strength and cardio. The trainer/owner Gio pays close attention to your form and overall health during the session. Class size is decent, and everybody is very friendly. The gym is well maintained, clean, and the parklet outside is a great addition. Highly recommended!

Gio is awesome. She brings a passion and a sense of fun to the workouts that ya just can't find anywhere else. I really appreciate how she helps me to make an exercise harder or easier to fit my personal fitness needs. Definitely worth checking out!

I've now been working out with Gio consistently (3 or 4 times every week) for eight months. This is the longest stretch I've ever had at a gym, and I still feel as fresh and excited about it as day one.

Gio has a mind for how bodies work and what kind of exercise helps make the body work better. Each of your hour-long workouts here will be designed from that perspective. Sometimes all of your large muscle groups will get worked out, sometimes you'll focus on smaller muscle groups in your back or your glutes, etc. This variation and attention to optimizing functionality has meant

If you're wanting to reach your fitness goals but find yourself lacking motivation, Groundwork Fitness in Downtown Long Beach is the gym to go. Gio, is an amazing and wonderful trainer that will collaboratively assist you in reaching your desired goals. On top of that group classes are offered and cater to any fitness levels, which makes exercising an even more positive experience. More info is available on her website or stop by the gym in Long Beach.

If I could give higher than five stars, I would. Gio and Groundwork are completely phenomenal. Gio is the best trainer I've ever worked with--she really gets to know her clients' strengths and weaknesses and helps them improve effectively with positive coaching and deep physiological expertise. The classes are high-energy and actually fun; they're challenging in a new way each time and give a comprehensive workout. The atmosphere is supportive and non-judgmental -- the intensity drives everyone to work hard, but collaboratively. Everyone knows each other by name and welcomes newcomers

I've only been attending Groundwork Fitness for about 3 months, and the classes have completely shifted the way I think about health and fitness. Not only is the atmosphere friendly, inviting, and communal, but Gio really knows how to give a balanced full body workout. Every class is different with a new, exciting, and challenging variation of foundational exercises. I've also only encountered nothing but kind and incredible people that work out here. I feel stronger and more excited to work out since integrating these classes into my life. I know that any time I walk through Gio&apos

I've been going to Groundwork Fitness in Long Beach for a month now and this is the best group fitness class I've been to. It's a total body work out and Giovanna is very motivating and kind. The rates are reasonable and flexible. It's perfect for me because I travel a lot and you're able to renew every month versus being tied to a contact. The gym is also has a very strong sense of community!

Just getting back into my fitness mode and found this amazing Downtown Long Beach gym called Groundwork Fitness. What appealed to me most is that they offer both group classes and personal training. Giovanna is my fitness coach and she really is passionate about her clients. I highly recommend Groundwork Fitness as your go to gym.
First class is free, so there is nothing to lose but some weight :)

Cheers,

If it is fitness you really seek, then you must talk with Gio. Well worth the extra 30 yard walk from a chain. Comfortable area for one on one classes as well as 20 size group. I'll be back in November to work with them again!

I started at Groundwork Fitness in July 2017 and I absolutely love the wellness culture at the gym and Gio's holistic view on fitness. I am the type of person that looks for variety and hit plateaus if I am not get into a routine. At Groundwork Fitness every workout session is a different exercise, body part combinations, cardio intensity, strength intensity and style.

I have done group and personal training sessions with Gio. Her workouts are full functional body movements so the whole body is getting worked out during an exercise. Gio is an amazing trainer and she deeply cares about everyone

Groundwork fitness is one of Long Beach's best gyms. The personal trainer is very knowledgeable. The personal trainer helps you achieve your goals of fitness through Circuit training full body workouts. I'm so glad that I decided to stop and take the class. After the first class there was no question in my mind that this was what I needed and what I wanted and what I liked.

I was a client of Gio's for several years and I can't express how great this place is. I had never felt so healthy, strong, and so excited to work out. I was literally there everyday because it was ALWAYS an awesome workout that focused on my entire body. I always left feeling accomplished and proud for committing to myself.
Gio is passionate about what/who she loves and she goes out of her way to create a space that is energetic and welcoming. She takes a wholistic approach when it comes to fitness. She meets you where you are at and gives you the tools and support you need to reach

Best circuit training around! These workouts will really challenge you. I've lost nearly 90 lbs in a little over a year and this gym is a huge part of it.

I can't recommend Groundwork Fitness more emphatically!!! This gym is more than a gym... it a community, a place I go for support, encouragement, and one hell of a challenging workout!

I was a big boy... 256 lbs and since last August 2016, I have dropped to 186 lbs and from a size 38 to a size 30. While it is true that I have changed my lifestyle with healthy eating habits, a commitment to weight training... it was Groundwork Fitness and it's amazingly cool owner, Gio, that I attribute to keeping me fit.

And it doesn't matter what fitness level you find yourself: novice or experienced

Groundwork Fitness was highly recommended to me and it didn't disappoint. When I walked in the owner Gio was there to show me around and explain all the personal training and group training options. How many gyms give that kind of service?! Group classes are taught by Gio herself and are small enough so everyone gets the attention they need. She encourages you to pace yourself and be mindful of your own body - her personal attention to all aspects of the space, the routine and the clients make the real difference from other corporate gyms. She promotes fitness, fun and family. An excellent gym

This is the best spot for personal training in the Long Beach area! Even for someone like me who hasn't worked out in years. Giovanna lets you go at your own pace yet pushes you to achieve your fitness goals at the same time. The crowd is always friendly and welcoming and supportive of each other. A beautiful warm space with lots of brick and wood. I leave motivated and energized to continue my day!!

This is the best gym I've ever attended.
I've been a member and going regularly for almost a year and it's become a regular part of my life.

Gio (the owner/trainer) is amazing and fosters a very refreshingly unique gym experience. She challenges us without pushing us harder than our bodies go, while still providing amazing results.

The people who come to Groundwork are all friend and help contribute to the friendly/family environment too.

I'm personally not fond of most gyms, I don't like a lot of the judgy, competitive atmospheres and that's why Groundworks

This place is in central downtown Long Beach but inside, it totally has a New York/Brooklyn swagger. I had a great experience here! It's two floors, narrow space but certainly enough room to get a dynamic circuit going. The space is multifunctional and accommodates a variety of training setups. They emphasize "functional training" here so it's not the monotonous style of workouts you'd get at a regular gym or even a cross fit style gym. Gio is a total gem! She's got high energy, is very welcoming, and is passionate about what she' does. Free first class! And free 2 hour parking in the lot right
