Recoup Personal Training - Costa Mesa, California

Nicole Ortiz

I've been a member of Recoup since May 2024, and my experience has been fabulous. I joined the gym with a few key goals in mind: to shed some extra weight and to improve my strength. Strength training is crucial for me as I get older, and I knew it would be a vital part of achieving these goals.

The trainers here are exceptional; they not only guide me through each exercise but also ensure I’m targeting the right muscles. Their attention to detail in correcting my form and providing constructive feedback has been invaluable. They strike the perfect balance between motivation and encouragement, making each workout session both productive and enjoyable.

I particularly appreciate how the trainers prioritize proper form over lifting heavier weights, which has helped me gradually build strength while minimizing the risk of injury.

The gym has a wonderful sense of community. The members I've met are genuinely supportive and friendly, creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere.

Even though I've only been a member for three months, I’m already noticing improvements in my strength and overall fitness. Recoup is a fantastic place to work out and grow stronger, and I’m excited to continue my fitness journey here.

Recoup Personal Training has completely changed my life. The trainers I’m currently working with, Matt and Dani, are awesome and have really worked with me to help me get stronger and feel more confident about my fitness. They’re super supportive, friendly, and make every workout challenging but doable.

I’ve even started working out at 5:30 AM, which has been a game changer for me! The positive and welcoming atmosphere makes it easy to stay motivated, and I’m so glad I joined. It’s really become part of my routine now which is awesome.

If you’re looking for a gym where you’ll feel supported and see real results, I can’t recommend Recoup Training enough. It’s made a huge difference for me!

Recoup Personal Training Studio in Costa Mesa CA is by far the best personal training studio in Orange County where you can be sure to get personalized fitness training, and nutritional guidance, to reach and maintain your health & wellness goals. Once you commit to working at achieving those goals, you will be amazed at how your bloodwork levels such as cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose level just to mention a few, will all begin to normalize and come down. Your doctor will be pleasantly surprised and will probably tell you to keep up whatever it is you’re doing! Your sleep will improve as well. All of these happened to me, and I’m committed to this investment in me for a quality life of health & wellness. I encourage you to stop in and make an appointment with one of the trainers to begin your journey to be the best version of yourself!

My wife and I have been members of Recoup since Day 1. We could not be happier with our results and with the community that we are experiencing.

I have always tried to keep my weight under control, build muscle and stay fit, but it wasn’t until I joined Recoup that I feel I have obtained the tools and knowledge to actually succeed. Not only have the trainers designed for me the personalized training techniques that work best for my body, the trainers have taken the time to know what it is I am truly trying to achieve and have helped me to set a path to obtain the strongest physique possible and to understand the nutritional requirements to support it.

But what really sets Recoup apart in my mind, is the community that has been created. I not only feel that the trainers and staff care about my well being inside and outside of the gym, but they foster a “family” feel amongst the people they train who truly look at each other as friends (and a lot of us have found we are neighbors as well). The camaraderie that has been created is second-to-none.

If you are looking for more than just someone to show you how to lift a weight or push a machine, if you are looking for a place with trainers that care about your well-being and health, if you are looking for a place where your goals matter, if you are looking for a place where you workout amongst friendly people and are made to feel part of a larger community that cares and is cheering for your success, then Recoup is your spot.

Due to sports injuries, I knew in 2021 the time had come for me to retire from intense cardio workouts and to look for a gym instead.

I checked out Recoup Personal Training due to a review that spoke to me and now I am in my third year at Recoup! It truly has been a game-changer on my fitness journey, and I never looked back or anywhere else! The trainers do great work explaining the exercises and paying attention to my individual needs, which helps a lot to get the most out of my workouts.

Recoup is more than a gym for me, it’s my fitness family, it’s a community that gives back through various events during the year and I love how the owners and trainers welcome and embrace people from all walks of life. Besides strength training they also offer an effective nutrition program to help achieve personal health and fitness goals.

The atmosphere is always positive, uplifting and you belong no matter where you are with your goals. It's a place to push yourself for sure, share many laughs, and maybe pity yourself a little during those tough leg days. I highly recommend Recoup and their amazing, caring and very knowledgeable trainers to anyone ready to transform their life and have fun doing it.

I joined the Recoup family in August and started their nutrition program in October, and I can confidently say these are two of the best choices I’ve ever made. From day one, the personalized approach to training stood out—it’s not just a program, it’s a tailored experience designed with you in mind.

The individual attention and care made all the difference for me. The team’s support and encouragement created an environment where I felt capable of achieving goals I once thought were out of reach. Since starting, I’ve hit milestones I never imagined I could, and I’m more motivated than ever to continue pushing forward.

The Recoup family is truly a blessing. Their unwavering encouragement, combined with their judgment-free atmosphere, has been a game-changer. I feel supported, empowered, and eager to keep evolving on this journey.

If you’re looking for a program where you’re not just a number, but truly valued, I can’t recommend Recoup enough.

I started at Recoup about 6 months ago and it has been a great experience! I joined with the hopes of getting into better shape, gaining muscle mass, and honestly struggling on my own with where to start. Their approach has been really helpful in that they focus on your overall lifestyle - incorporating both consistency with working out with the exceptional trainers along with support in modifying diet to help us achieve our goals in a realistic and healthy manner. I've been really happy with my progress thus far! Additionally, the gym feels like family, everyone is very welcoming and friendly and it is a very comfortable and fun place to be!

I joined Recoup with my sister a few months ago to get some more personalized guidance as I got back into working out after a long break, and found an amazing community that wants nothing but to see you succeed! The nutrition kickstart program finally got me turned around from gaining weight to losing, I am definitely a whole lot stronger, and I have a bunch of new friends! Note this is not 1:1 training, but the price reflects that too, and there are often only 3 people in my sessions, so plenty of attention for me, and they DO make an effort to track your progress to give you personal feedback. I especially love how Mikayla, Dani, and Evan give great feedback on form and push me to lift heavier than I think I can! Enjoy these pics from after Jim’s birthday workout!
