Summary: I went for 7 weeks and did the exercises on my own, and continue to, though at a reduced frequency (less days per week). My back pain has decreased and I am able to sit for longer periods of time. I recommend this clinic. Make sure to commit to the exercise regimen that you need to do on your own time.

I went here for PT for my lower back. I went once a week for ~ 7 weeks. My PT, Adam, was very data driven. He would do an assessment every time to see how I was feeling, would check for tightness in my back, and would guide me, along with a helper, through exercises

I worked with Hal after undergoing a partial meniscectomy. Was very happy with how thorough he was in my recovery plan and helping me get back into running!

In the terms of their own billing representative, SportsFit made a billing error on day one of my service to the tune of $150. And when I asked for the money back they refused to refund me until my service was complete. This is basic business practice: if you make a mistake, you immediately make it right. But not in SportsFit's case. I recommend finding someplace more focused on helping you than stealing from you.

I was referred to SportsFit by my PT in Miami who works with one of the doctors at SportsFit Santa Monica to help with my continuing issues with lower back pain and stiffness. I have been very pleased by my progress, with the staff and the studio. It's easy to make appointments, the PT's are attentive to my issues and I have confidence in their strategies to solve my back issues. Highly recommended.

Went in for a shoulder injury and SportsFit got me back in the water surfing within two months! The staff is super knowledgeable & friendly. Facilities are top quality. Pricing (even out of pocket) is very reasonable and worth every dollar! Highly recommend.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Sportsfit. Kyle,Alyesse, Jen, Edwin and Josyln have provided me with tools to relieve my intense back pain. Kyle-Physical Therapist: such an amazing PT. I love everything about him. I feel completely connected when we work together. He's the catalyst to working me out to better health. His knowledge and attention to detail is phenomenal .
Alyesse-Pilates: must have X-ray vision. She amazes me each visit. Her ability to pinpoint minuscule imbalances, that when corrected are spine changing, is supernatural. I kid you not. Visit her once and report back.

I go to sports fit to help my body recover from long distance runs. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive to my individual needs. I could pay a little less and just go to a generic massage place, but I experience better results at sports fit. It is well worth the money and time. The day after I go there I feel like I have a new set of legs. Awesome!

Dr, Jessica Finley and her assistant Tatiana have helped me with two different problems--hip and back pains. They have taught me effective exercises for both my hip and back. Every time I leave SportsFit I feel better! The staff is very helpful and warm. Their facility is immaculate. Should I need physical therapy again, this is where I am going.

I owe a tremendous amount of gratitude to SportsFit and their incredible staff for helping me through a running related injury. In just a matter of weeks, SportsFit was able to quickly diagnose the root cause and provide a series of techniques and strengthening exercises to help me improve. The staff at SportsFit is top notch. They're extremely professional and friendly. They have state of the art technology to take pictures and videos of your form and are able to provide real time recommendations. I was able to achieve my goal in running the LA half marathon and I owe it all to SportsFit. Dr.
