Progressive Health & Performance

After more than a year with PHP, I wanted to take a moment to say thank you as I transition to my next chapter focused on weightlifting and training for a half marathon. I originally joined PHP for one reason: to rehabilitate a torn rotator cuff.When I started, I had significant loss of range of motion in my right shoulder. Sleeping on that side was painful. Simple movements became frustrating, and I wasn’t sure how much function I would ever get back.From day one, the trainers approached my recovery differently than any gym experience I’ve had before.Each month they developed two customized one-hour workout sessions done weekly specifically designed to improve range of motion, strength, flexibility, and restore symmetry across both sides of my body. They also provided additional optional workouts if I finished early. When my body did not respond as expected, they adapted and modified exercises based on my actual condition rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all program.At 66 years old and someone who has been working out since high school while playing multiple sports, I’m not new to gyms or fitness programs.PHP is unlike any gym I’ve experienced.What stood out immediately was the depth of trainer expertise in body physiology, movement mechanics, and kinesiology. Many of the coaches have undergraduate and graduate degrees in kinesiology, and you can see that knowledge directly reflected in the quality of programming and the results members achieve.But expertise alone isn’t what makes this place special.What kept me coming back was something that sounds simple—but isn’t: the culture.Every workout is met with encouragement, positivity, and genuine attention. Trainers are present, engaged, and invested in helping members succeed regardless of age, ability, or starting point. That positive energy becomes part of the accountability and healing process.Today, more than a year later, I have regained approximately 85% of my shoulder range of motion. I can sleep comfortably again. I can scratch my back. And maybe most importantly—I can throw a ball again with my 10-year-old grandkids.That means more than I can express.A special thank you to Eric Cruz for building something truly unique. What he has created across his gyms is unlike anything I’ve experienced in terms of trainer knowledge, member attention, and authentic positivity. PHP’s commitment to serving veterans, individuals with disabilities, special needs children, and members ranging from teenagers to people in their 80s says a lot about what this organization stands for.Thank you to Ike Okoroike and Natasha Kasozi for developing my program, listening carefully to my goals and limitations, and continually refining and reinforcing the exercises that helped restore my shoulder function.And thank you to Marc Arjona—an outstanding trainer and kinesiologist—whose rehabilitation-focused, physical therapy-style body work and recovery support accelerated my shoulder and overall recovery throughout the process.I also want to recognize Dr. Betty Lou Deyoung, Doctor of Physical Therapy, for helping me realize that surgery was not necessarily my only path forward for my torn rotator cuff. Her guidance gave me the confidence to commit fully to rehabilitation, trust the process, and invest the consistency and effort required to restore function naturally. Looking back today and seeing the progress I’ve made, I’m grateful for that perspective and for helping me believe recovery was possible.To everyone at PHP: thank you for helping me regain not just function—but confidence.I’m leaving stronger than when I arrived, grateful for the relationships and lessons along the way, and excited for what comes next.Once part of PHP, always part of the family.See you down the road.

My son trained here for a few weeks and he really enjoyed his time here. The trainers were attentive to my son’s needs.

Worth every penny.I had the fortune of being a member of PHP for about a year and 8 months.Over the course of my time I lost 12% body fat, while gaining 12 lb of muscle. In total, it amounted to about 6-7” of waistline shedded. I more than doubled—or tripled—the effective weight in nearly all of my exercises. I was able to resolve my wrist mobility issues and improve my cardio health and overall stamina significantly. And I look great too!I have Carlos and Eric, as well as Liz and Natasha, to thank for all of it. PHP is truly a family; I feel like I’ve been able to have fun working out, and many of the trainers are friends to me. It is such an easygoing and welcoming environment and it’s been the perfect place to build up my gym confidence.The experience here has far and away exceeded my training experience at any other gym — including some of the world’s most expensive.Well worth the money.

Appreciate how knowledgeable and interactive Coach Thumbz is. Keeps the intensity up so I feel like I’m going to hit my goals!

I cannot say enough good things about the bodywork by Thumbs. His work provides healing results. He has helped me through a groin and hamstring strain, lower back issues, knee injury and normal aches and pains. Other local masseuses don’t measure up to the relief my muscles receive with Thumbs.

As a US ARMY Vet. I sustained some injuries while serving in during Desert Storm & Bosnia. I transition out from active duty and became a full-time student and government employee. Unbeknownst to me sitting & standing for long periods of time I've became arthritic throughout my body. I needed help or I was going to succumb to my injuries, pain and mental health. I looked on line and decided to try Progresive Health & Performance. I must tell you... I've been rejuvenated. My coach "Thumbz" create a routine just right for me. The exercises created just for me are with "band" strength, stretches, and cardio. I never would have thought I'd be so engaged and looking forward towards my workouts. I would recommend this to anyone, civilians, veterans or government workers. Your workouts are tailored made and the coaches are hands on. If join, make sure you ask for the "penthouse" lol. "Thunbz" you are the best. More...

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Progressive Health and Performance. My son Kobie has been a member for about two years, and the experience has been nothing short of incredible. When he first joined, he had put on a few extra pounds and wanted to make a positive change. From day one, the staff welcomed him with encouragement, patience, and genuine care. They didn’t just focus on workouts—they took a holistic approach by providing guidance on nutrition, building confidence, and creating sustainable habits.What truly sets this place apart is the people. The trainers and staff go above and beyond to support their members, and the community of patrons is just as uplifting. Kobie always felt motivated and supported every step of the way.As a family, we are so grateful for the role this gym has played in his journey. We’re relocating to the East Coast and are sad to cancel our membership, but we will truly miss the facility, the staff, and the amazing community they’ve built.If you’re looking for a place that genuinely cares about your progress and well-being, this is it. Highly, highly recommend! More...

I am so happy with my experience with PHP. I started here at my 5th month of postpartum and now I am at the 10th month postpartum. I can't describe how much I have improved in so many ways in life, and I am extremely thankful for Coach Chris! He set me up for success for my healing journey in postpartum recovery, in establishing a healthy life habit, in getting stronger, and being happier with myself by losing weights/gaining muscle/lowering body fat. His customized workout programs for me were extremely effective, they were hard, but also fun and rewarding at the same time! He is also extremely knowledgeable in providing me great information in both fitness & wellness. I am also extremely thankful for Coach Ike for supporting me along the way in the past few months, he was also extremely knoweldgeable and helpful during my training and made sure I was doing every movement correctly and effectively. Now I am starting my new journey with Coach Thumbs who is extremely attentive, passionate, motivated, energetic and extremely knowledgeable and helpful, I am excited to see how far I can go in this journey here at PHP moving forward. Again, I highly recommend PHP! More...

I started participating in the group classes offered to the Murrieta Hot Springs Resort & Spa members by trainers from PHP. Each of the trainers are professional and knowledgeable. Coach Maria's Monday classes really start my week off in the right direction. Her Thursday classes are great for recovery and resetting. Coach Amanda's yoga classes have been so helpful to me, in my journey of health and wellness. I am beginning to see results, as my balance is returning! Coach Liz's Wednesday classes is challenging, and makes me give maximum effort. I am extremely happy that this partnership came about, and I look forward to all of the classes. More...

Coach Thumpz is incredible and has helped me a lot with my jiujitsu. We've incorporated fast twitch muscle fibers as well as cardio to my routine. I come here twice a week sometimes just once depending on injuries and how work and jiujitsu gets in the way. But everytime I come here it's a check up to keep things intact and develop. Before comp I was coming twice a week training VERY hard. The workout is trailered for winning and performance. I'm extremely greatful and I plan on staying here. I'm undated thus far and won Gold at grappling X at 135-145. They makesure I'm keeping strength while dropping weight. Or I'm keeping speed while gaining weight. Lifting is all very new to me so I'm glad I come here. This place is designed to give you in EDGE. Coach Thumpz is passionate, athletic, strong, and can help with combat sports. He gets my personality and we get along great, all his clients love him. We always have the coolest vibe in our corner as he keeps us all motivated and on track. As soon as I'm done catching up on classes I missed I'll sign back up and keep things going. Being able to use missed classes is amazing and considerate being people have life and other things that get in the way. That's a buisness that doesn't care just about profit but changing lives More...

The whole team at PHP is great. I went to them to rehab my knee after surgery and to get back into shape to start playing tennis again. I didn't know I needed what they offered. I just thought I would get back to the gym, lift some weights, do some cardio and like magic, I would be good as new. But, after the result from the functional movement screening, it revealed the imbalances that probably contributed to my injury. All the coaches are great, and have their "thing". I enjoyed working with all of them. Coach Ike designed my programs and he is amazing and is able to challenge you to progress in a quiet, yet impactful way. I also consistently worked with Coaches Alex and Chris, who both know how to push you towards your goals. It is semi-private training, yet you have your own personalized program that changes as you change. I loved my time at PHP so much that my son also goes there. More...
