The Training Grounds
A private training space where you have everything you need to for an optimal training experience. The Training Grounds is amazing- it's a smaller private gym so it's never packed and always really clean! The owner and trainers there are super knowledgeable and accommodating (one on one training without the distractions/mess of a corporate gym!).

Always good music, cold water, clean towels, and good vibes! I would definitely recommend to any and everyone! I was hesitant to try personal training because I live with chronic musculoskeletal pain and was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up or meet a trainer's expectations. Alex, the owner of The Training Grounds, has completely changed my perspective on personal training.

An absolute gem of a gym here in Agoura! I’m a personal trainer and have run my own private business for several years now. With running my business comes renting from gyms so that my clientele can enjoy a fully functional workout program. Out of the 4 gyms I’ve ever rented from in the area, TTG is my absolute favorite and the ONLY one I rent from now. Alex, the owner and a trainer here, is incredibly welcoming, understanding, and a joy of a person to work with/around. He puts so much love and small details into the gym that you genuinely look forward to walking in the door. All trainers and

I LOVE THIS PLACE! I am a certified personal trainer and have run my own business for quite some time now. I've rented from a handful of gyms in the area, but NONE of them even come close to TTG. Alex (the owner of the gym) keeps the place immaculate! From small details like snacks, water, cubbies, and comfy chairs to a massive range of equipment (free weights, machines, functional, and more) there is no other gym like this! It's so clean you can eat off the floor! And it's never crowded. Everybody who walks in the door of The Training Grounds brings a positive attitude which makes

This is not a traditional gym where you go and just workout. The trainers are amazing and they emphasize on personalizing each of their client’s workouts according to their fitness needs. It is a very positive upbeat atmosphere and anyone of any fitness level can fit right in and have great results.

This review is long overdue! I found this gym through a friend who raved about it and thought I’d give it a shot since it looked super private! It sounds crazy but I make the 45 minute drive from playa vista to come here and I NEVER regret it (besides the next morning😂) I’m not one to go to a large gym because I was always intimidated by the equipment that I did not know how to use and not a fan of crowds…at all. Not only do they push you to do your best, but it is so much fun! The trainers genuinely care about your health and body. I cannot thank them enough!

I came to Training Grounds during lockdown to be able to work out away from other people and I'm never going back to my old gym. The trainers here are amazing and the facilities have everything you'd ever need, from cardio to free weights to machines. Working with my trainer has been the best thing ever for for my fitness. Unlike my old gym, the trainers here actually care, and take the time to make a truly individualized program, adaptable to my changing needs. And it's fun as hell too. Break away from the crowds and check out The Training Grounds.

Alex is an incredible personal trainer! He takes the time to get to know his clients on a personal level and really specifies your goals with a practical timeline to get you there ASAP. His friendly and uplifting personality makes it a pleasure to work out with him. I highly recommend him.

Alex, the owner of The Training Grounds, has completely changed my perspective on personal training. He has taken the time to identify my limitations and has tailored a program uniquely specific to my needs. He demonstrates professionalism, patience, empathy, and is a great motivator! His gym has a well-thought-out layout with substantial floor space to train and not bump into others (which is great during a pandemic). It is immaculately

Alex Perper and the other trainers (Houda!) at the training grounds are phenomenal. Total professionals - incredibly motivating, knowledgeable, fun and understanding all at the same time. The facilities are also top-notch - a fantastic studio. I have been a client for years, and now my teenage daughter is as well. Can't recommend Alex, Houda and the whole team highly enough. Do yourself a favor and check them out.

Great gym with awesome trainers! Alex and his team are always so friendly. Alex creates programs specific to individual needs and is a great motivator with tons of information on health, fitness, and nutrition. The gym is always very clean and doesn’t get overcrowded. Highly recommend if interested in personal training!

Where do I begin? I have so many great things to say! Not only is Alex one of the kindest, most supportive people I've met, but he's also the type of trainer that makes you want to work harder and reach further. He knows my limits, and pushes me just enough to grow past them each session. I've been training with him since 2017 and he helped me lose around 20lbs in a short amount of time through guided diet and exercise (and keep it off!). I was so thrilled to start training in his new gym, and when I walked in I was even more thrilled. It's clean, private, spacious, and has all the equipment you

This is a fantastic medium sized gym with all the equipment of a full sized franchise gym. It’s definitely much cleaner than the bigger gyms, yet no where near as crowded. There are a perfect variety of trainers there for pretty much anyone’s needs. Its definitely an ideal gym for those who are just getting serious about their fitness, those who are fitness fanatics and everyone in between. It’s the real deal over there!

This hidden gym in Agoura is a great place to train. As a trainer, I find that this facility offers enough of the right equipment in order to provide my clients with a competent wkout. The music selection is on point. The owner Alex is kind, professional, and accommodating to my training needs. If you're an independent personal trainer, I highly recommend you checking out the training grounds in Agoura. For those clients looking for a personal training facility that's not a big box gym. This is the place!

This is a great place to train, for both personal trainers and for clients. I'm a trainer, but I've also had my trainer train me here, and it's a great atmosphere, good people and it's not intimidating at all. You get the privacy of a small gym, but with everything you need to get a good workout in!! I'd recommend coming here for sure!!

Loved working out here! Felt private and professional. The treadmills have a cute view of the greenery, and when they opened up the large gate door, there was a nice fresh sunny breeze flowing through that just made it an even better way to start a Saturday. Definitely would recommend anyone to bring their trainers here to train.

Alex Perper is more than just a trainer, he truly cares about his clients. Here's how I know:

I've been a client of Alex's since my (late) husband and I first met him in January 2010. Throughout the years Alex has guided me through significant weight loss and strength training. Even more than that he's taught me about nutrition, been beneficial to my mental health, and over all well being.

These last couple years after losing my soulmate, have been really challenging. Healthy lifestyle was replaced by bad eating habits and no exercise. However, the time also included quite

Great gym! The trainers are very professional and knowledgeable. This privately owned gym has a variety of brand new equipment and machines that you can use to work out every inch of your body. What I also value in any gym is the cleanliness of the facility. Training Grounds is sparkling clean. Great place for independent trainers. - I highly recommend it!!

Though I've never trained with the other trainers at this location, I have been training with Alex and Ari thoroughly for years with muscle aches and a few bruises to prove it.
My overall well-being is better due to Ari and Alex's personalized training techniques.
