The workplace here is open welcoming not to mention great precautionary Measures taken they clean their weights they clean the area I love working out here personal atmosphere I’ve had a good chance to meet every trainer basically definitely will be spending a lot of time here in the future

It was absolutely perfect I didn't enjoy the movie but the facility is clean quiet great people and it's my 3rd time counting to date going back I really enjoyed it for 70

I loved working with Alex and will continue to work with him whenever I get the chance. A very friendly and warm environment to start getting into a fitness routine!

The training grounds is the perfect spot for individuals who are serious about their results and workouts. Perfect environment and energy. Everything you need compacted into one. Trainers here are all friendly and know exactly what they’re doing. Amazing establishment. More...

One of my favorite gyms to work-out in. Feels private and the treadmills have a nice greenery view. Definitely would recommend anyone to bring their trainers here!

Owner and chief trainer Alex is an experienced guide in helping clients set goals to achieve short term progress and long term success. Highly recommended especially for those who need an accessible entry point towards a healthier lifestyle. More...

Alex Perper is more than just a trainer, he truly cares about his clients. Here’s how I know:

I’ve been a client of Alex’s since my (late) husband and I first met him in January 2010. Throughout the years Alex has guided me through significant weight loss and strength training. Even more than that he’s taught me about nutrition, been beneficial to my mental health, and over all well being.

These last couple years after losing my soulmate, have been really challenging. Healthy lifestyle was replaced by bad eating habits and no exercise. However, the time also included quite a bit of introspection and growth; and I’ve finally reached a point where I’m ready to care about myself again.

I’m grateful to Alex who would periodically check in with a text or a call, or a meet up just to see how I was doing, and always let me know he was there if I ever needed him. He’d remind me to give myself permission to take the time I needed, and when I was ready we’d not only get me back to where I left off, but better than before.

So I believe the timing of Alex reaching his goal of finally opening his own (BEAUTIFUL!) gym and me being ready to re-invent myself, well it’s no coincidence. Because what I know is that The Training Grounds is the perfect environment for me, that I’m ready to challenge myself, and that Alex’s experience, knowledge, compassion, and professionalism makes him the perfect trainer and friend to entrust with the job of guiding me to my goals.

Stay tuned. More...

Alex Perper and the other trainers (Houda!) at the training grounds are phenomenal. Total professionals - incredibly motivating, knowledgeable, fun and understanding all at the same time. The facilities are also top-notch - a fantastic studio. I have been a client for years, and now my teenage daughter is as well. Can’t recommend Alex, Houda and the whole team highly enough. Do yourself a favor and check them out. More...

Amazing facility. Amazing trainers. If you are in the Agoura Hills/Calabasas area and need somewhere to train look no further. Alex has provided me with tools needed for weight loss and toning. He has kept me motivated on my fitness journey and has made me feel great about my progress along the way. More...

The training grounds is a great place to train! It’s not crowded, is extremely clean and everyone is super nice. It is the perfect gym. I have worked out at many gyms over the years and The Training Grounds is by far my favorite!!! More...

Fantastic gym with nice clean equipment, excellent trainers that will help you reach your goals, and a welcoming supportive gym community. I love training here!

Great spot to train! It's a friendly yet private gym and when I train either myself or my clients there, it's more comfortable for us girls to really push it hard as we don't have to worry about making loud embarrassing grunts because it is so private. The owner Alex is easy-going and easy to work with. I'd recommend this place to trainers and to my clients. More...

Alex is an incredible personal trainer! He takes the time to get to know his clients on a personal level and really specifies your goals with a practical timeline to get you there ASAP. His friendly and uplifting personality makes it a pleasure to work out with him. I highly recommend him. More...

This is a fantastic medium sized gym with all the equipment of a full sized franchise gym. It’s definitely much cleaner than the bigger gyms, yet no where near as crowded. There are a perfect variety of trainers there for pretty much anyone’s needs. Its definitely an ideal gym for those who are just getting serious about their fitness, those who are fitness fanatics and everyone in between. It’s the real deal over there! More...

I was hesitant to try personal training because I live with chronic musculoskeletal pain and was afraid I wouldn't be able to keep up or meet a trainer's expectations.
Alex, the owner of The Training Grounds, has completely changed my perspective on personal training. He has taken the time to identify my limitations and has tailored a program uniquely specific to my needs. He demonstrates professionalism, patience, empathy, and is a great motivator! His gym has a well-thought-out layout with substantial floor space to train and not bump into others (which is great during a pandemic). It is immaculately maintained, has quality equipment (which you never have to wait in line for). If you're looking for an unparalleled gym, The Training Grounds is it. More...

It’s CLEAN and they have great equipment.
Don’t you hate it when you go to a gym and the machines are not ergonomically correct? No problem here , Alex knows the machines and equipment to get to have you move ergonomically and bio-mechanically correct.
He cleans them all the time also.
Where can you find a gym that has hanging gym rings, punching bags w gloves, and every little contraption you can think of?
Great people, xlnt trainers, clean and friendly environment.
I’ve numerous trainers from Woodland Hills to Camarillo, this is the BEST place I’ve been to.
If you’re serious about getting into shape, then go here and ask for Alex or Arie. More...

Where do I begin? I have so many great things to say! Not only is Alex one of the kindest, most supportive people I've met, but he's also the type of trainer that makes you want to work harder and reach further. He knows my limits, and pushes me just enough to grow past them each session. I've been training with him since 2017 and he helped me lose around 20lbs in a short amount of time through guided diet and exercise (and keep it off!). I was so thrilled to start training in his new gym, and when I walked in I was even more thrilled. It's clean, private, spacious, and has all the equipment you can think of. I'm proud to say that I train here, and even more proud to consider Alex my friend. Here's to many more years staying fit and healthy at The Training Grounds 💪🏼 More...

The Training Grounds is a great facility hidden away in Agoura Hills. People are friendly, the equipment is well-kept, it's a wonderful place to maximize your workout experience with a variety of personal trainers.

The training grounds is the place you go to achieve your goals. I came there at almost 300lbs a few years ago. I looked terrible and I felt terrible. I needed to lose weight. Fad Diets and surgery are not the answer for weight loss. The true answer is exercise, good nutrition, and knowledge. I got all three of those fundamental pieces from the Training Grounds.

Flash forward to 2022 and I'm almost a hundred pounds lighter, I'm very close to reaching my goal. I couldn't have done it without this place and the people that work there. If you're looking to achieve your goal, this is the place to do it. More...

This is the best place for personal training in the Agoura Hills, Calabasas, Oak Park area. It’s a friendly atmosphere and clean facility, never over-crowded, and all ages and levels of fitness are welcome. My trainer customized my program to achieve the specific results I was hoping for and I’ve stayed consistent with my sessions for over a year. I definitely recommend checking it out if you want to reach your fitness goals! More...

This review is long overdue! I found this gym through a friend who raved about it and thought I’d give it a shot since it looked super private! It sounds crazy but I make the 45 minute drive from playa vista to come here and I NEVER regret it (besides the next morning😂) I’m not one to go to a large gym because I was always intimidated by the equipment that I did not know how to use and not a fan of crowds…at all. Not only do they push you to do your best, but it is so much fun! The trainers genuinely care about your health and body. I cannot thank them enough!
If you are thinking about taking the next step in your fitness journey I HIGHLY suggest trying this gym/training team you will be so happy you did. More...

This is not a traditional gym where you go and just workout. The trainers are amazing and they emphasize on personalizing each of their client’s workouts according to their fitness needs. It is a very positive upbeat atmosphere and anyone of any fitness level can fit right in and have great results. More...

Great gym with awesome trainers! Alex and his team are always so friendly. Alex creates programs specific to individual needs and is a great motivator with tons of information on health, fitness, and nutrition. The gym is always very clean and doesn’t get overcrowded. Highly recommend if interested in personal training! More...

An absolute gem of a gym here in Agoura! I’m a personal trainer and have run my own private business for several years now. With running my business comes renting from gyms so that my clientele can enjoy a fully functional workout program. Out of the 4 gyms I’ve ever rented from in the area, TTG is my absolute favorite and the ONLY one I rent from now. Alex, the owner and a trainer here, is incredibly welcoming, understanding, and a joy of a person to work with/around. He puts so much love and small details into the gym that you genuinely look forward to walking in the door. All trainers and clients here bring extremely positive vibes, the place is kept spotless (I would genuinely eat off the floors here -lol), and the amount of equipment is unmatched; free weights, machines, functional equipment and more make for extremely diverse workouts for all levels and goals. I have never experienced such a welcoming and comfortable setting for myself and my clients as I have here. I cancelled my own membership at a corporate gym I was going to because my workouts were way more superior here. If you’re looking for a place to find your solace for the day and get your sweat on, I cannot praise this gym and the trainers here enough! This is my home away from home❤️ More...

This was my first time getting a trainer. I’ve always been intimidated by weight lifting and really only stuck to cycling classes and pilates, because that was my comfort zone. But my goal is to gain muscle and feel more confident in myself and in my body. Alex has truly achieved this for me. Our first meeting he really listened to my goals and set an achievable goal for me to reach - in both weight training and nutrition. He made me feel comfortable weight lifting which I never thought I could do. And really helped me figure out my macros while understanding my dietary restrictions. I couldn’t recommend The Training Grounds more, and Alex especially. You can not only tell he really cares about his clients and his business, but all of the other trainers do as well. Don’t think twice about training here, you truly won’t regret it!! More...

This is an amazing gym that you are looking for!!
Always clean, great facilities, good vibes, amazing trainers (the people who workout there, they are friendly and feel like a team too. ) and the owner Alex is an awesome!
I have started workout from this year and I can tell my body is changing and also my mental health too!
I’m very lucky to find this place.
Thank you!!! More...

I have been using this facility to bring my clients for the last few years & we have had nothing but positive experiences across the board. The cleanliness is, has been & continues to be a strength for this studio; The Air ventilation because of the giant door along with the Air Conditioning option makes workouts comfortable in any temperature which is extremely important for my clients’ workouts.
Over the years, the best part of operating out of TTG has been Alex & his willingness to improve the facility in any & every way while making it as pleasant as possible to work there as a trainer. Most people are out for themselves, but Alex genuinely cares about his facility & the experience every person has when they walk through the door whether you’re a trainer or a client. It’s been a pleasure to work there & my clients have had nothing but the best things to say about the facility & how it’s run. Keep up the Good Work! More...

The Training Grounds is a very special place!
Before I came there I wasn’t a fan of smaller more personal training gyms.
Always had older equipment and limited space and didn’t have a warm personal vibe.
Then, the training grounds appeared.
This place is awesome! Always getting new innovative equipment, trainers that actually care more about helping their clients achieve their personal fitness goals , more than just getting paid. All the trainers are friendly, knowledgeable, supportive, and real people who care about their clients.
Alex, the owner is a great trainer too! He is on site and attentive to both his team and their customers.My personal trainer, Huda, is the best!
We actually became personal friends.
It’s a place worth visiting no matter what your fitness goals are.
If you’re lucky , once in a while you’ll even see a cute dog in its little pen at the front door to greet you with a smile.
I recommend the training grounds 100% !
Great place with a staff that cares! More...

This is a review for Agoura training grounds. I love training here the equipment is always up to date I have seen perfectly great new machines switched out for even better ones. The cleanliness of the place is spectacular, the owner Alex takes a lot of pride in keeping the place spotless. All trainers are professional and work very well along side each other, so if you’re looking for personal training in a clean and well equipped facility with amazing people look no further. More...

I’ve been training at the Training Grounds with Houda coming up on 1 year now. I can’t say enough about this place! The gym is always spotless, all the equipment looks new, always a welcoming atmosphere and the owner Alex along with the other trainers are always so friendly.

Absolutely love this PRIVATE gym! Alex is an amazing owner keeps this place perfect! I am currently training my clients here and do not plan on leaving anytime soon! If you are looking for a trainer look no further I’d love to help you reach your goals 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🔥 More...

I’m a trainer here and love every minute of it! The atmosphere is welcoming & fun. Nothing but positive energy along with lots of hard work. I couldn’t ask for a better training family to be a part of. The new equipment/machines are top notch! I love providing my clients the best experience as possible. The best part is you get to create the experience you feel your best in, from music playlists to outdoor/indoor workouts. I can’t wait to create more experiences and overcome more goals for myself and my clients while watching the training grounds evolve. More...
