I’m so grateful I found Ambrose as my trainer. He brings a rare level of care, professionalism, and knowledge to every session.
He doesn’t just tell you what to do, he teaches you, supports you emotionally, and helps with nutrition in a realistic, sustainable way. It’s not just a workout; it’s true coaching and genuine care.
If you’ve ever had injuries or felt nervous about training, he’s exactly the person you want in your corner. Ambrose pays close attention, learns what’s going on with your body, and adapts everything so you can progress safely while still being challenged. I feel stronger, more confident, and truly supported.
I’m almost 60, and when I started with Ambrose six years ago, I was weak, in a lot of pain, and sedentary much of the time. Today, I’m stronger than I was in my 30s and 40s, and I feel amazing.
I recommend him without hesitation. He is the best!
Thank you, Ambrose!

I have worked with many trainers in my life , Ambrose is like a physical therapist, mentor, educator, friend, extremely knowledgeable and will never hurt you ,I quit working out for a year ago because I wasn’t getting results & at 58 years of age I have to say the results came back quick. Ambrose is the best Trainer I’ve ever worked with every client he trains stays with him for years because there’s no else out there that does what he does. He should be working with professional athletes all over the world but I am grateful that I get to train with him every week in Temecula. My Husband trains with him as well, always had chronic back pain, has no back pain now and is in better shape and I’ve seen him in 22 years. More...

I have been working with Ambrose Lisowe for about two years now. With his personalized guidance, I have gotten stronger, more confident, and more motivated to take better care of myself. I no longer worry about hurting my back (I have lower back degeneration) because I know what I can do--which is now a lot more than before. I can carry more weight and am more flexible than ever. Ambrose has a wealth of knowledge about fitness and nutrition. With each session, I always learn something new from him to better myself. I highly recommend him for a person of ANY age (I'm a senior). He is simply the best and makes working out enjoyable and something to look forward to. More...

I've been working with Ambrose for almost 2 years. In that time I have gone from a dedicated couch potato to an active senior adult. My core strength and balance are improved. He also helped me through a knee injury and I was able to keep my vacation plans and walk unassisted on an 18 day cruise around the British Isles. I feel at least 10 years younger than what the calendar says. If you are unsure about whether you need a personal trainer talk with Ambrose. More...

I can’t say enough good things about Progressive Health and Performance! I’ve been going there for two months now and like their slogan: I feel better, perform better on the field, and look better in the mirror! I don’t play competitively anymore, outside of adult leagues, and I’ve been putting up big numbers on the basketball court. As far as looking better in the mirror, I’ve never been one to build muscle quickly but I’ve seen significant definition in the short amount of time I’ve been working out at Progressive. I would highly recommend giving them a try! It’s done wonders for me! More...

The staff at PHP are incredible. Wrestling through high school and college left me with several injuries that caused me to stop working out. Then 20 years of office work went by in a blink and I found myself in pain and severely out of shape. I met Anthony at a networking event and was convinced to give PHP a shot. It’s been three months now and I couldn’t be happier. Honestly. PHP created a personalized workout plan for me, and each day I get individualized attention to help me through my work out. It could be working on my form, adjusting the day’s routine to my pain levels or just plain old motivation to get out there and hustle. Even in this short amount of time, they have fixed my shoulder (a 25 year old issue) and gotten me into the best shape of my adult life. There is still so much more I am excited to do! More importantly, with the help of PHP, I am convinced that I can actually do it! I could go on forever about PHP, but I’ll end with this. Every single member of the staff is incredible. Ambrose, Anthony, Trina, Rudy, Jordan and Eric are all awesome!! It doesn’t matter who I’m working out with that day, they are all great people and professionals and I enjoy every minute that I’m there. (Except for leg cranks. Stay away from leg cranks. They are even worse than they sound;) Give PHP a shot. You will not regret it! More...

I have been working with Progressive Health and Performance for several months because I was not recovering well after having had several hip surgeries. Physical therapy is effective for many people, but I had gone as far as physical therapy could take me and still had considerable pain and dysfunction. Because I had lost considerable strength, I needed a more comprehensive approach. From the start, I appreciated what a great listener their founder Eric Cruz is, as well as intelligent, educated, genuinely caring, and humble. I soon learned that everyone on the Progressive Health and Performance team shares these values. The holistic approach of Progressive Health and Performance has not only lessened my pain and helped me regain strength, their help has also restored my hope - my confidence - that I will achieve normal ability to function. ( want to add that I have met other clients of theirs whom they have helped recover from many kinds of injuries and disease, whose health has been restored after other types of care had not been an answer for them.

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I provide you with safety and simplicity in workouts, listen to you and ask questions (even tough ones), break the big goals down into smaller steps, offer you guidance and support, and celebrate the small wins with you. And offer lots of high-fives and fist bumps.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Stop dreaming and start working... direct action to overcome obstacles, build momentum, and have consistent commitment to show up while taking action. That usually makes a difference.
What do you love most about your job?
I love when a client is excited about progress, and in between challenging workouts, they text me banter, roasting the workout and how easy it was (when it obviously wasn't) while enjoying the process of working toward a goal that is important to them. It's the best kind of pump up, and the results clients can get are usually cool too.
What inspired you to start your own business?
It has been something I have dreamed of for as long as I can remember. Then, after one failed attempt and years of dedication, it started again; the timing fit, but the rest was kind of by chance.
Why should our clients choose you?
It's an obvious choice, and that choice is yours to make. Also, have you seen The Office?
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes.
1-on-1 services are available via video and phone. Additional services are available remotely on an app - buy and follow along workout programs and more customised options. I offer all of these and more in a complimentary discovery session.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Encourage you to clean equipment, social distance, get more sleep and rest, and stay away from the gym when sick.
