About

Everyone has a different idea of what Fitness means to them. Maybe it's aesthetic, maybe it's performance, or maybe it's just health & wellness. Whatever your goals may be it is sometimes hard with all the misinformation on the internet and social media to know where to start or what the most efficient process is.

Super friendly staff. They weren’t actually subscribed to a gym pass I had but still let me work out anyway. Amazing gym as well; they have all the strength equipment you could ever and never would’ve dreamed of. I’d work out here if I lived in Irvine! More...

Just started coming to GOAT FITNESS. I got put in touch with the owner Lucas! Super chill guy, easy to talk to. The gym is extremely clean and put together. Pricing is affordable given that you get access whenever you want 24/7. If you like a quieter atmosphere to hear the music playing and get your sets in I'd highly recommend starting here! They have another spot a couple doors down for strength training and cardio. If you wanna hit the bag or push the sled then this is the place. Check em out! More...

I am bummed that I am moving soon, this has been an amazing gym. Jon runs a good ship here, and you can tell he has put a lot of work and thought into making the space work. The trainers all pass the vibe check, Harry has given some great advice and it was nice nerding out with him between sets lol. Equipment is tip top, always clean and good to go, no egos, just get in and do the work. Coming from a commercial gym this definitely was worth it just to not have to wait for four broccoli heads to get off the bench. More...

Walked my butt over to this gym while an auto shop was working on my car. Amazing staff, amazing gym, and they had a red light sauna with a cold plunge. My gym session was made a little more luxurious than usual thanks to Harry. If you're looking to get away from commercial gym culture and find like minded people with a passion for fitness and helping others. GOAT fitness is the place to be. More...

I’ve been getting personal training here from Danny for around 3-4 months and so far I am extremely happy with the progress and results I’ve attained. I’ve been an athlete for most of my life. Through high school and college, I was lucky enough to get exposure to high level trainers, coaches, and nutritionists. I learned a thing or two along the way, so I feel like I have a good sense of whether or not a fitness expert knows their stuff. Having put in work here for a few months now, I can confidently say that my trainer is very knowledgeable and knows how to efficiently get the results I want. These days I’m just a guy in his mid-30s who wants to squeeze out a few more years of playing rugby and minimize the possibility of injuries. GOAT Fitness is doing a great job of helping me attain that goal. More...

Absolutely life-changing experience with Goat Fitness! Trainer Alex is nothing short of a miracle worker.

Jon is the best personal trainer I've ever had! I've trained with him for almost two years, and he has taken my workout to the next level. Jon considers both the goal of the client (bodybuilding, power/strength building, weight loss, athletic performance) and the personal characteristics of the client's anatomy to devise the perfect program for each individual. He's energetic, funny, and truly loves his job and is passionate about his clients' progress. Thanks to Jon, I grew to actually enjoy working out, and I looked forward to every session. Also, with Jon, I was able to repeatedly break my PR for major compound exercises. Jon is the real GOAT! More...

I’ve worked out at GOAT for about 2 years. I first came in as a student athlete of age 13 (fencer) barely able to do a trap bar lift with just the bar. Since then, my athleticism tripled, and I can squat 165 lb for 4 reps, and bench 135 lb. GOAT was also a significant contributor to my national fencing medal last year. I’ve also trained with 5 different coaches, all of them personable and kind, ready to meet a client at any level. I would highly recommend the gym for anyone looking to up their game! More...

Driving by goat you would never expect the amount of personality that is packed into this place. The gym is full of equipment for all styles of exercise and goals you have currently or set for yourself in the future. Not only that but the community at Goat is by far the best I have ever seen. The owner, John, not only is he welcoming and supportive of all gym members, those with coaches and those just simply there for an open gym, but he lives his mantra, Passion Breeds Success, its hard to not get motivated when in his presence and his hand selected coaches. I have had the pleasure of learning from and witnessing 3 coaches at Goat, Keith a bodybuilder with evolved knowledge from years of practice, Ciara a coach that has excellent communication with her clients to educate and adapt training to best suit them, and lastly Joshua, a multifaceted individual who brings all he knows to the table, wrapped in a package of humor. John himself has also educated me on ways to further better myself, overall in the gym and towards hyper specific goals that I had. Sadly, I must say this... my words do no justice to GOAT Fitness, go their and witness for yourself why GOAT is the Greatest of All Time. More...

Came across Goat Fitness towards the end of last year after searching for a private gym for a few months. I had a consultation with Josh and at the end couldn't wait to get started. After doing Pilates for a few years I wasn't seeing the results I wanted to but now working with Josh for about half a year - I am!  The environment is extremely welcoming and all the trainers are very knowledgeable/willing to help at anytime. I love the fact it's never super crowded and don't have to wait for equipment to free up. Josh has been great at always switching up the workouts, demonstrating each exercise to ensure I'm doing it correctly, and keeping me motivated. Looking forward to more training sessions! More...

Q&As

GOAT Fitness keeps clients motivated by showing them results. Once a client starts seeing their body change for the better it becomes easy to keep them motivated. GOAT Fitness caters to the people that are truly ready for a change and just need the knowledge and instruction to get there

The secret to the body of your dreams is knowledge and dedication, after that it comes down to 3 things: Nutrition, Training, and Consistency. We give you the knowledge of nutrition specifically for your body type, we give you knowledge of training specifically for your personal goals, and our dedication mixed with your dedication provides the consistency needed to get the body of your dreams.

Many of our trainers say the same thing, that they wish they new then what they know now about training when they first started because they would not have wasted so much time on non-optimal training and nutrition. We are here to help you get the body of your dreams the most efficient way possible.

GOAT Fitness's motto is "Passion Breeds Success." This job is our passion and the proof is in the results. We love being strong and living a healthy life. Our trainers give 100% dedication to each individual training client because we want to share our secret to a healthy and positive life. #fitlife

GOAT Fitness was started by Jon Sheppard (Owner & Coach) when he was finally tired of the fitness industry lying to the consumer and promising them FAST results and not believing they are capable of working hard. Nothing in life worth anything is easy, but the things we EARN are that much sweeter

GOAT Fitness is a business built from passion. We love teaching people the secret to a successful training program because we know it could change their life for the better like it did for us. We are a private facility for trainers and clients only so you don't have to deal with a crowded gym. We are a family owned business so the vibe here is more of a community than a corporate setting and we will go out of our way to help you reach your goals and feel comfortable. If your goals are to get really strong, lose fat, or build crazy amounts of muscle, then we promise GOAT Fitness is the place for you. (P.S. we have a gym dog;)

Services

GOAT Fitness trainers are dedicated to getting you results. With the 1 on 1 sessions you get the trainers undivided attention and expertise. Our trainers provide program design and implementation, nutrition counseling with meal plans, and body composition testing and progress tracking. This is what we love and the proof is in the results.

The semi private personal training has all the best parts of the 1 on 1 training but with a reduced price for bringing a friend. Utilize the trainers knowledge with a workout partner to boot. They say two heads are better than one, but all we see is more sweat.

Open Gym access !
