I lived in NYC for 12 years, and often trained with celebrity trainers or ambassadors for major sports brands. The truth is, I really didn’t get major results until I trained here at this small, unassuming gym in Manhattan Beach, California. My husband’s work took us out here and I wasn’t expecting much, but in a year of training mostly with Taber and Jaz, my entire body transformed. Not only did I push more weight than ever, I also felt more confident in my strength, whether that was my ability to jump into a bootcamp class on the side or experimenting with mobility work like Pilates or

Taber is hands down the BEST trainer I've ever worked with. He makes sure the workouts are tailored to your specific goals and takes into consideration limitations and past injuries. The workouts are always different..nothing boring about them. Kept me coming back for more...resulting in the best shape of my life!

I went 3 years without a regular workout schedule and decided it was time to get back at it. I reached out to a trainer that I've worked with and she recommended Taber and Ocean Fitness. After talking with Taber he suggested I work with Stacey and he made the right call. I'm on my third week and Stacey has kept the workouts fresh and engaging and really keeps me motivated and I already feel and look better. The studio has everything you need for a great workout and is conveniently located. I highly recommend Ocean Fitness for anyone looking to start, restart or continue any fitness

I've been coming here for about 5 years and will never give it up! Dropping my Equinox membership for Ocean Fitness is one of the best fitness decisions I've ever made. All of the trainers are great and it recently came under new management, which means some serious equipment upgrades. It's super functional, clean and the best place I've ever been for a focused and effective personal training program. It's always one-on-one in the studio; super convenient; dedicated parking space if needed; and great air circulation with open windows and doors during the workout. Taber

The best way to stay motivated is to check out this place! It's been a long time since I've been in but want to give them a review since I recently just started this yelp thing for many reasons! I bought some training appointments before my wedding and haven't returned since but only because I haven't made the time and our budget is a little tighter after the wedding and all. I cannot express how great my results were especially my arms and how many compliments I received at my wedding. I hope to be able to return soon as life is finally slowing down for us now.

Because of the high ratings from Yelp i decided to make a first appointment to meet with a trainer and go over some workouts, and i was hooked! My trainer is Eddy, hes the best trainer i've had, very so nice and always makes you feel comfortable, unlike other gym trainers, where you get that tense tension. I have been working out there for more than 4 months and I have been seeing great results too! Margaret, the owner is such a nice lady with a positive vibe too. I really recommend Ocean Fitness to anyone who is ready to start working out with a trainer and meeting their Body Goals. :)

I was referred to the owner, Margaret, to help me get back on track with my strength and cardio. She assigned Kelsi to me, and I've been so delighted every week. She has been caring, attentive, and uber knowledgeable about anatomy, learning how to push me, but ensure that my workout is safe and successful. It's been about 6 months and the results are extraordinary. Thank you Kelsi and Margaret!

I've been training with Marie, at Ocean Fitness for almost a year and a half. She is the best trainer I have ever had the pleasure to work with. This space may be small, however, they never over schedule clients, and have all the equipment needed for a fantastic and dynamic workout. I would highly recommend Marie.

I came to Ocean Fitness because my workout routine was stuck in a rut and I realized that I needed some strength training in my life. I'm a runner and I practice yoga fairly regularly, but I know how important strength training is to reshape your body. I wasn't looking for a fancy gym with scented eucalyptus towels, rather I was looking for a chill place that had all of the necessary equipment with 1:1 attention.
I did an initial session and liked the feel of the place, so I decided to sign up for more sessions with Marie. She has been a joy to work with over the last couple of

I wish I still lived in Manhattan Beach because I would have been able continue training with Ocean Fitness. After having tried several scenarios around town I can honestly say that the best results came from the time I spent with the trainers at Ocean Fitness. I developed great work out habits during my time there and actually enjoy training now as a result. The staff is very professional & knowledgeable, the facility is super clean, and the equipment is up to date. Be careful though... you may end up not recognizing yourself in the mirror after a few sessions!

I have been training at Ocean Fitness for years. Margaret and all the trainers are terrific! They come up with a program just for you and your needs and you also have the ability to join some really cool classes if you like. I have a crazy work schedule but they always are able to make a schedule work for you. Nothing and no one I could recommend more with great confidence and I am NOT easy to please!
Treat yourself. You'll become a lifer too!!

Been training here for years now and always a pleasure to be there. Margaret and her team of professional trainers are so motivating and flexible, it makes for a great team for me. My schedule is crazy and inconsistent, and the last thing I need is more stress in my life when I have to rearrange things to get a workout in. Margaret always makes me feel welcome and greets me with a smile, no matter what! Oh, and can't beat the ocean view!
