FitProsLA

I am a Personal Trainer and have been working out of FitPros LA for almost 2 years, and I have to say that I am very happy coming here every day. Lara (the owner) is a very kind and supportive person who is full of energy, and it reflects on the environment. My clients love training here and so do I... awesome music, plenty of daylight and humble people. More...

Transformative 8 weeks.I've been doing combat sports for most my life and I've had some injuries along the way. A torn ligament in my ankle from Muay Thai, a labrum tear in my shoulder from Jiu-Jitsu, and just general injuries from Krav Maga (like hyperextending my knee 8 months ago). Our bodies are pretty amazing and how they deal with injuries. But I didn't realize how much impact these injuries were having on me because I could still, eventually, go about my routine.After the labrum tear it took me 2 years to be able to do a push-up again. But I managed to get back into Krav Maga and I was able to do most things, except put any weight above my head or behind me, or pull (problems with grappling, hammer fist, throwing).I've gone to physical therapy for a couple years and it help a bit, it was part of how I got back into working out. But I always found myself with pain after working out. And my body was just overcompensating in a lot of different ways in order to enable me.I did a bunch of personal Pilates training sessions. Those also helped a bit.But I am very happy to say that after 8 weeks of training with Lara, working on mobility and rehabilitation. By strengthening muscles I never pay much attention to, by stretching muscles I didn't realize were impacting muscles 5 muscles away, I'm now able to squats without pain (it hurt even just walking upstairs for months), do push-ups and tons of planking exercises without shoulder pain, raise weighted balls above my head and slam them down to the ground, pull weighted cables back to isolate and exercise both shoulders, and I've been doing boxing class that are intensely focused on shoulders, all without having to take 5 Advil after.I feel mobile, stronger, flexible. I'm very grateful. More...

Where do I begin? FitProsLA has been a life changing experience for me and I am overly grateful that I found this place. All my life I have struggled with weight issues and never had the courage and motivation to get up and go to the gym. I stumbled across this page on Yelp and decided it was time for a change. After meeting with Lara, the owner, I began my training sessions. Before our training began, I sat down with Lara and told her the goals I wanted to achieve. Now, a few months down the line, my body has never felt better. Not only am I seeing constant progress on my weight loss journey but I am now motivated to get up and go to the gym thanks to Lara. I truly cannot thank her enough for all that she has done for me. Without her encouragement and motivation, I would have never made such progress. As for the gym itself, it is centrally located in Downtown LA. I have never had an issue with parking but FitProsLA validates if need be. The gym is extremely clean, well organized and a perfect size. There are healthy snacks, water, small towels, and on-the-go items provided which makes this place a whole lot better. I HIGHLY recommend this gym to anyone who is interested in training in the Los Angeles area! More...

Lara is the best trainer out there in LA. She is going to be the motivation and vitamin to your life once you start training with her. I've been coming to FitProsLA for over a year now, and my body is definitely more toned and shaped after just couple of sessions with Lara. If you are looking for a personal training studio in LA, this is the sanctuary. Train with Lara. She knows her stuff and you really need someone like her especially if you are starting out. More...

I just finished a 2 month course with Lara. I honestly thought I would never make it through - I have never been active in my life, never had a personal trainer, had tried multiple times to become a regular at the gym and failed, and also my schedule only allowed me to have 6 am sessions here. To my surprise I made ALL my sessions (minus some where I was sick), and had never been happier waking up early for a workout! Lara has taught me so much about how to effectively work out, I always looked forward to my twice a week sessions every time. She really observed how my body was moving and suggested corrective exercises and taught me the correct forms, which was exactly what I needed. On top of being an awesome trainer, she is just so fun to talk to and will never forget to ask how you are doing. Lastly, she gives validations for a parking garage right next to the gym which is a HUGE plus in downtown! I'm so glad I went to her and will continue working out. More...

within day one, FitProsLA easily became another place of happiness for me. Lara, its founder and now one of my most beloved friends, made my "initial evaluation" feel like i had found everything i had been looking for: a healing environment to wake up all that may be sleeping. She is a bad ass, never sugarcoats or bullshits, but is also the one of the most personable and naturally loving beings i've come across. She seamlessly helps you pinpoint your true goals and tailors a specific and clean template for you to follow, not only in a short amount of time but for the rest of your health.The gym itself is somehow so. clean, every day. machines well kept and i can even lay on its floor in blissful, endorphin-fueled death without feeling like i just picked up the rest of the world on my clothes. it's cute and chic bathroom always has that freshly-cleaned bathroom smell and feel; showering/freshening up in there feels so homey! it's tucked away in a little corner of downtown la, providing a sense of safety, comfort and privacy. fresh apples, coffee, and other little snacks to help maintain your energy are always readily available if needed.the trainers aren't only experts at what they do, they love what they do and you can feel it in their attention, guidance and encouragement. i have never felt anything but warm, inviting and loving energy stepping into this gym. and LOVE walking out feeling better than i had stepping in! i hope you experience the freedom i feel in finding this gem! Cannot thank FitProsLA enough for all it teaches me.bonuses: honestly the cutest frenchie puppies in the world and a community of beautiful (inside and out!!!) new friends who keep you inspired!!

A little bit of background on myself. I had not worked out in a long time prior to me coming to personal training, was in graduate school, gained approx. 20 lbs, and work in a stressful work environment. I would try here and there to motivate myself but would give up halfway. I found myself diagnosed with sleep apnea in April 2017 and way too young to have this condition. I found Lara's gym and immediately asked about the 30 minute session. After that 30 minute workout, she gave me a suggested time frame to meet my goal. Lara's goal for me was not to lose weight or fat, but to simply sleep and feel better and not use my CPAP machine and that's when I knew she was genuinely invested in my well being.I started in September 2017 and was consistently attending until July 2018. I stopped using my CPAP machine just from the workouts and additional workouts Lara provided me with! I felt stronger and grew leaner every month.Lara is sweet, caring, and will tell you things straight without sugar coating them. She has grown to be a person I respect and who pushes me further than I can push myself at times. With her encouragement and positive attitude I felt that I could do a lot more. Even when I "fall off" she is never disappointed and continues to lift my spirits up.Lara did not provide food plans for me, but encouraged me to look into recipes and is continuing to encourage me to look up additional workouts and "wean off of her" because she knows I have the discipline to be working out on my own [I just miss her! :) ].

True story, I was going to move out of Los Angeles and I didn't because I didn't want to leave Lara and FitProsLA. I'm not joking. This is the best personal training gym I've ever found, hands down, anywhere I've lived (New York, London, New Orleans). The atmosphere, the personality, the constant encouragement mixed with affirming and extremely knowledgeable guidance is second to none. I have never been more excited to work out with anyone as I have with Lara, and the tone she sets not only trickles down to every trainer that she has working there, but to every client as well. And best of all, Lara and her crew get results. I've been coming here for over a year and my body has changed significantly in that time thanks solely to this gym and its founder. Not only do I see results every time I come here, but I feel inspired and excited to keep this journey going. Working out at FitProsLA is the best decision I've ever made for myself, my body, and my health (physical and mental), and it is worth every penny five times over. So...do yourself a favor and check it out. You cannot go wrong with any of the trainers here and you will not regret giving yourself this gift. More...

Lara creates a place will make you feel motivated and cozy at the same time. There are abundant types of equipment you can use. She even prepares you a hot coffee before playing with those "toys". I especially like the location. It is located in the convenient downtown area but surprising less traffic in the morning. The parking is in the building and it is free. The studio is on the first floor of Promenade building, facing the quiet ally with build trees.

I've been coming to this place since April. Lara and John are amazing. They love what they do, they're passionate about their work and their clients. Honestly, they inspire me to work out and get stronger. I learned that it's not just about losing weight but being stronger, healthier and happier. I first trained with Lara - who is a badass go-getter and great trainer that I have come to really admire. In the first couple of sessions I saw how Lara can read your body when you do a workout and know exactly what was tight, what was hurting and why. She's like walking body genie. She'll tell you how you should stretch and know which workouts work. I've been training with John for the past few months who is also a great trainer and one of the sweetest people you can meet. He pays close attention, explains it in a way that I can understand, teaches technique, pushes me to keep going and mixes it up to make it fun.  He doesn't kill you with the workouts but knows how much to push you to grow your thresholds and strengths. He pays attention to technique a lot to make sure you don't injure yourself and you do it right.Both of them worked on my workout plan (I think?) I've seen results. I got a body assessment at the beginning and a diet plan. I have been tracking my weight - I've lost around 8 lbs since April. And I've seen definition in my arms and back. I've grown stronger. Of course, I also do cardio on other days by myself but these guys give me the motivation to go do all that.  And I'd say I've followed and kept up my diet + work outs 80% of the time. Clean eating as much as possible. Also, I love the music they play. I'm often dancing between workouts. So yeah - that's the kind of energy this place has. It's an infectious positive energy. If you want to work with genuinely nice, hard-working and great people, you should go here. More...

I would highly recommend this gym to anyone looking to get stronger and healthier in a safe, supportive, and sustainable manner. Lara is so kind and has a sixth sense for what motivates her clients. This skill and her incredible knowledge of how the body works allows her to develop workout sessions that are challenging and results driven, but also really fun. I came in with an old knee injury that was holding me back in the gym. She knew immediately what my doctor recommended and guessed my other issues right off the bat. The plan she developed for me included a meal guide (with very reasonable suggestions- nothing extreme - just real food), workout sessions to do at home or at your gym, and then a hard workout with her once a week, but you can choose to go as often as her schedule allows. Based on your goals, she measures your progress, and I promise you WILL see results. My knee hasn't hindered my workouts in months, my body is much stronger and leaner, and my fiancé now says I have a confident swagger in the gym! If you want a trainer who really cares and is personally dedicated to helping you reach your goals, go see Lara. You won't regret it. More...

FitProsLA is a gem in downtown LA. I haven't been serious about working out until I joined FitProsLA and met Lara. She is an amazing trainer that makes fitness fun and has guided me towards better lifestyle choices such as eating right, exercising regularly, and mentally challenging myself to achieve my fitness goals. A year ago I graduated college and since then it's just been a whirlwind of stressful situations. I often put in long hours at work while trying at the same time to study for my CPA exams. It's easy to push my personal health to the back of my priorities list. Once in a while I'd go for a run on the treadmill, but it's always been hard to lock down a workout schedule. Then sometime during the summer this year I decided to take action. I remembered hearing about FitProsLA a while back and seeing that it was conveniently located at Promenade Towers, I called Lara up to make my first appointment. And was I glad I did! I remember feeling very comforted by the gym's layout - the atmosphere, and its' cleanliness. Although the space isn't as big as your typical commercial gym, there's an impressive variety of equipment and plenty room to workout in. Lara started me off with a diagnostic session to determine a custom workout routine for me. She also made sure that her plan was in line with my goals, which was to lose fat, get toned, and gain strength. Seeing that I was a beginner, she eased me in with basic cardio (mountain climbers etc.), squats, and focused on my core strength. After just 2 weeks I started seeing improvements! My core felt tighter and I was able to increase my cardio intensity. Lara then introduced upper body workouts, which really opened my eyes to just how much work I needed to reach my goals. I wasn't used to push-ups, pull-ups, and shoulder and back workouts, but Lara made it easy for me to get started.I've been training at FitProsLA for 2 months so far, and I've got to say that I've come a long way thanks to Lara. She's passionate during our workouts and she motivates me to finish strong. I feel stronger, breathe better, have better posture, and eat much healthier. I recommend FitProsLA to everyone that's looking for great trainers at a convenient location in downtown LA! More...

I can't say enough good things about FitProsLA. After an arduous online search for a trainer that spanned from Santa Monica to DTLA, I finally found Lara, the owner of FitProsLA, and started training 3 months ago. I started noticing results almost immediately. As a trainer and just general human being, Lara is one of THE MOST motivating and inspiring people I have had the pleasure of meeting. Her sheer belief in my ability to do some of the things I didn't think I could, has motivated me to unlock a strength I didn't know I had. In a city filled with trainers, I think this is what truly separates the good from the best. She also takes a critical approach to the areas she focused on, based on your goals. With each training session, I feel like I'm literally being sculpted from the inside out. And her influence goes beyond the gym and into dietary habits, which thankfully she takes seriously and holds you accountable for throughout your week.The space Lara has created at FitProsLA is cozy and comfortable and clean, packed with a wide variety of equipment that I'm pleased to say I now know how to use properly! It's also a really friendly environment as everyone there, trainers and trainees, are as equally positive as Lara. Their energy makes working out fun and something that you look forward to surrounding yourself with, rather than dread like most of the gyms I used to go to. You just know that you're surrounded by supportive people when you're there. No matter if it's Lara or another trainer, you will always be working with some who is passionate about training...and most importantly, RESULTS-ORIENTED. More...

Lara is THE BEST. I have had several trainers over the years but all pale in comparison to how great Lara is. Past trainers have asked about my body and then went forward with training me giving no thought as to what ailments, limitations, etc. I had. Lara is the first trainer and I have ever worked with who actually listened to me and trained me how I should be trained and for that, my body has never been in better shape. I have struggled with pain in my knee for years and the doctors have told me I need to focus on tightening my leg muscles. I have explained this to trainers over the years to no avail. Lara watched me work out on our first free session and diagnosed my problem areas immediately. Not only that, she continued to work throughout all our sessions to make sure these issues were addressed and fixed and I'm happy to say that my lower body has never felt better. Lara is smart, knowledgeable about the body and incredibly fun to be around. I have to credit her with changing the way I approach working out in general. I used to feel like I was lazy and needed to hire a trainer in order to work out. Not anymore. I go to the gym on my own now, using the weight room and cardio room, any room I can access I am there! haha. And that is all thanks to Lara and her motivation and helping me realize that I am ultimately responsible for my own health. Plus, I don't want to let her down after all the hard work she has put in to get my body back on track. I can't wait to buy more sessions and go back to her! In regards to the gym itself: it is a great size, small and clean. Always a friendly face to greet you. Ample snacks, water, etc. Plus, this gym is not located in the midst of the craziness of downtown so there is ample parking and if you can't find any free street parking, FitProsLA validates :) More...

In 2012, I graduated law school and was looking for a fresh start with my new found freedom. While in school, I gained nearly 40 pounds and wanted to come back to my original weight. Since I lack discipline when it comes to exercise, I knew that the only way I would be successful if there was someone who was able to hold me accountable, for that reason I decided to give personal training a shot. At that time, I joined a gym in downtown and was assigned to work with David Simmons. Initially, I was a bit worried to work with a male trainer, since I had had previous experiences with some who were either unnecessarily judgmental or cruel.  Luckily, David was the total opposite. During our first initial meeting, he listened to my concerns and my goals. He also promised to never be mean to me, unless I personally requested the push. David met me at my level and helped me from the ground up!I have now been training with David for 4 years and followed him over to Fit Pros LA. I am happy to report, that with his help and guidance, I am now back to nearly my high school weight!  David, needless to say, has helped me surpass my goals, has built my confidence, and has shown me that I am capable of having athletic ability. David always makes an effort to spice up my exercise plan to include everything from cardio, weight lifting, martial arts, MAA fighting and more.  Besides exercise, David has taken the time to educate me on the importance of good nutrition and it impact on your weight gain/loss and building of muscle. I really would not be where I am today without him!As to Fit Pros LA, it is a cute small and very clean studio in downtown Los Angeles. At first, I was a little concern having to attend a new studio (especially in the morning with LA traffic), but I couldn't let David go! Luckily, the studio is close to my regular gym downtown and I am able to head straight there afterwards for either an additional work out or change to get ready for work.  Don't be deterred by the studio's location or size, they validate parking and there is never an issue with overcrowding! It's a little hidden gem. More...

What a difference one month makes when you spend a couple of hours a week with Lara at FitProsLA! I am a fitness professional myself but for the last few years I've been so focused on coaching other people that I let my own training fall apart. When I went to Lara last month I was 20lbs over my ideal weight (how the #!!**?! did that happen ) and feeling decidedly middle-aged and flabby. I had tried various other classes but because I am a fitness nerd I am super picky about exercise classes and trainers. I was always dissatisfied with the quality of the instruction, or quickly bored. Not with Lara! She is a stickler for detail when she trains, always checking your form for safety and maximum ass-kicking. She is not boring at all, always changing the workout and keeping you jumping around the gym, way too out of breath to even think of being bored.I always leave our sessions feeling great, thoroughly sweaty and worked over. And I was thrilled at our one-month check in to see that I had lost 2.5" off my waist! I feel far more toned and I am on track to getting back to my usual fitness level. Goodbye jello-belly!On a personal note, Lara herself is a gem. I quickly fell in love with her enthusiasm, energy, positivity, and sense of humor.

The gym is super clean, inviting and centrally located. I forgot my hairband to workout once and guess what? She had spare ones for forgetful-on-the-go clients like myself!! Didn't skip a beat with my workout sesh. I've been a regular gym member for several years now, played sports and served in military, yet every session I'm learning something new! I love it! The only negative thing I can say is I wish I was able to find it sooner!! Will definitely be signing up for more sessions! More...

Getting a personal trainer was always a big step for me. i'm glad that when I decided to take the plunge it was with Lara. I went off my gut instinct and Yelp reviews and I got lucky! I have low back pain from an injury. I felt safe in her hands!Lara is extremely smart, sophisticated and highly encouraging. She is a great example to her clients. And it helps that she is so gorgeous that you would want to emulate her! You would not regret signing up with them. The property is very nice, clean and private. There are no giant gym machines and people in your face. This is a great place to take your fitness journey forward! 5 stars and more :) More...

FitProsLA is a personal training studio owned, operated, and designed by Lara Karapetian.  The fabulous new space is located on the ground floor of the Promenade Towers.  In addition to being an extraordinary personal trainer, Lara has other impressive talents that she applies, as necessary - nutritionist, physical therapist, masseuse, life coach, etc.  She knows the musculoskeletal system well and is incredibly insightful and helpful.  Injured?  I can tell you from personal experience that she will be one of your main healers.  Ever watchful and engaged during our training sessions, she ensures correct form.  She motivates and encourages.  With Lara and her infectious spirit, you will find how much more you can do and you will find that you will persevere.   She is all you can hope for in a personal trainer, plus more.  I recommend Lara and FitProsLA highly!

FitProsLA is an AWESOME studio! It has everything you need to accomplish an exceptional workout! I have known Lara, the owner for years! She has trained me and because of her I now have my personal training license. As a client and trainer, I have both perspectives and this studio caters to both ends! I train my clients in this studio and have all the tools I need. Lara bases her success on the success and accomplishments of her clients. She is not trying to pack this studio with as many people as possible but keeps the trainer/client ratio very low so there is no "packed gym" feel. The environment is professional yet fun, very clean, up to date and makes working out very enjoyable! Downtown is so fortunate to have Lara and to have FitProsLA!!! More...

New place.  Good location.  Right in the heart of DTLA.  Lara is a great trainer and super positive.  I am happy that more gyms are opening up in Downtown.  I moved here 8 years ago and there was not much choice.  But now with the renaissance of city center, we have more choices. Its clean and I am not sure how to say this, but Lara is so positive and if I have a cheat day and eat some cake on a weekend, she doesn't make me feel too bad about it.  She encourages me to love a full life, and eat generally well and to always be active.

A great new private gym with the best trainers.  Lara is the owner and personal trainer. She will whip you up into shape. She is easy to be around and always has a positive attitude . Lara is a pro who knows how to keep workouts fresh and never boring. She is a stickler for good form which i love and she is always paying attention to her clients. I am always sore in a good way after my workouts thanks to lara. She knows when to push me and how to motivate me. Working out here is the best "me" time i get all week. More...
