As a gymphobe, I have now found a comfortable place to work on becoming fit. They are all so encouraging. Justin is supportive and patient, yet he pushes me to do more daily. After 7 days at the gym (I even went on a Saturday which was my day off) I am now able to do so much more. Stamina and strength improving daily! Who knew! Love this place More...

After a back fusion and other back surgeries, several injections and the last one that blew a blood clot into my Sciatic Nerve, I thought I wd be in severe pain forever. I am now seeing some relief from back pain. Thanks to Justin & Andreas. More...

This gym and these trainers have helped me so much! I’ve had back pain for the better part of the past 20 years and had recently gained 20 lbs. I’m over 50 and have battled with weight my whole life. The classes and personal attention these trainers give you are phenomenal. They are knowledgeable and helpful and overall nice guys. In the 10 months I’ve been attending classes I have lost over 25 inches and 40 lbs. I’m stronger and more flexible and pain free. I love this gym! More...

A standard here at BLFA that should be met everywhere else: What I paid for was what I received. I lost weight, I grew stronger, my injuries less, my pain gone, and the support from the trainers immense. Good luck trying to achieve that anywhere else. More...

Seriously saved my life. Justin is so knowledgeable. I didn’t know I had scoliosis and he’s helping me heal my pain and know what exercises are necessary and not damaging to rehabilitate my spine. Apparently scoliosis affects neurotransmitters as well and by the grace of god my friend took me to better life academy after she picked me up from the hospital (who turned me away btw, for not being suicidal enough.) so seriously I don’t say “saved my life” lightly. Couldn’t say enough good things about all the people I’ve met who work there! More...

Justin and Andreas will fix your posture, bring more mobility and balance and a lot of strength without having you having to put on body builder mass. No puffing up required, unless that is your goal, which they can help with specific muscle growth as well, if needed... They are highly versatile in their understanding of movement, balance, and overall muscle development, be it with weights, primal movements, yoga and gymnastic style training tools. Its great to feel good and versatile so I can do any kind of weekend warrior sport. More...

The location is nice and open to start. The trainers are exceptional and the workout burned. I would highly recommend coming here if you are looking for a good personalized routine - from the person who never enjoys gyms or fitness.

I'm not one to write reviews often but I felt the need to after my experience here. This is a very welcoming environment . The staff and trainers are amazing. I'ts been a long time since I've been to a gym and the trainers accurately assessed my level and gave me great advice to start and let me know what was possible if I stuck to the regiment. Everybody at the gym seemed to be in a good mood and having fun while working on bettering themselves. Whether your beginner, intermediate, or advanced this gym and staff can provide you with the tools and guidance to not only meet your goals but exceed them . I worked with Justin Richards my first couple sessions . I believe he is one of the owners. He was great i didn't feel pressured or anything . He understood what my pace was and coached me through it and encouraged me. I look forward to seeing what this team can get me to. I went into getting in shape wary but after a few sessions i am now excited to see what is possible. Thank you Justin and team!!!! More...

I worked with Anne for 20 plus years in Ventura. Nevada County is a heck of a commute but I considered it when she moved up here. The level of knowledge about both exercise and nutrition is astounding. I leaned so much about my body working with Anne! Their credentials cannot be surpassed. But of equal importance is the level of caring. Anne and Dale ( who worked with my husband) are incredibly emphathetic and personable. Ventura County's loss is Nevada County's gain. If I lived in Nevada County I would join Best Life Fitness with pleasure!!! More...

I’ve been training with Justin for almost 4 years now, and believe he is one of the most experienced & committed trainers around.
I started training once a week, as part of a group session, really enjoyed the variety & challenge he put into the sessions & then took on a personal one-on-one session as well!
I must be a glutton for punishment.
Justin is focused on helping me achieve my goals and makes every session challenging (& somehow fun). My fitness has increased noticeably and I’ve seen improvements in my ability to complete more sit ups / core exercises, lift progressively heavier weights & generally push myself harder throughout each session. I find I actually look forward to my workouts.
Importantly:
– He ensures that my technique is always correct to avoid any injuries.
– He is extremely reliable & punctual – always set up & ready to start training ahead of time, with an exercise routine planned.
I thoroughly enjoy working out with Best Life Fitness and would recommend Justin & his team to anyone looking to improve their fitness with a dedicated group of trainers.

The wealth of skill and knowledge is priceless! My assessment was detailed and I felt like Justin had my best interest at heart. I've never been an overachiever when it comes to working out in a traditional gym (even when I hired a PT). The core beliefs and advanced systems that BLF brings to all ages and fitness levels, while creating a fun motivating experience, is truly an asset to this county. I will never go anywhere else!

Justin is a true fitness professional. His passion and enthusiasm for health and fitness is contagious. He has been a huge help for me and my family members at times when we’ve had issues with pain or decreased function. He provided us with tips, tools, and excercises that were highly effective.

I have never written a review before, but today's workout with Justin Richards deserves the effort. He is amazing because he not only incorporates the phsyical but also mental benefits that come with training. I had some stressful times this year and his workouts gave me the mental breaks I needed to get through them. Today, Justin challenged me in a new way. He knew I was up to it, but I was stuck in "I can't do that". What a boost to my day in so many ways when I found I could! Next time you're feeling stressed, angry, down, overwhelmed or a myriad of other negative emotions, do yourself a favor and go to Best Life Fitness and work them off. Take advantage of those endorphines - they really do make you happy! More...

It’s only day one for me here but I am thoroughly impressed with Justin’s training technique starting with myofascial release, and his ability to recognize your areas that need extra work to bring balance to your body.
Looking forward to getting stronger here!
Review edit, been coming 5 days a week for 3 months! Still love it! Lost 17lbs, inches and feel great.

Met the owner, Justin, over a year ago. I liked what he was doing with us old (72 yo) gym rats at another gym. So I joined his new gym where he has helped my specific problems, namely my new knees.
I can now bend them much further and going up stairs are no longer a problem. Also have gone down a size and am getting compliments on how fit I look!
The three times a week semi-private training sessions are the way to go!!!
He has a great personality and a vast knowledge of how the body works. He can fit an exercise with any problem you have which is a plus, plus for me.
The gym is very clean and the atmosphere is wonderful.
I actually look forward to my workouts. They work!

I had trained with both Justin and Andreas at another gym for a number of years. When Justin opened Best Life Fitness Academy, then Andreas came over, so did I. In 2014. I had started working out again just after I turned 60. However, I have made more gains in mobility, flexibility, strength, and general conditioning in 9 months at Best Life than I have had in the years before. My personal training sessions and group workouts here are a key part of my health maintenance plan these days. When my doc says "I wish all of my patients your age were in as good as shape as you are.", I attribute that to Best Life. More...
