Love this gym! As a physical therapist, I have very high standards when it comes to keeping athletes safe. FIT ticks all the boxes for me. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and extremely accommodating to all levels. They focus on technique which is huge for me. I wouldnt hesitate referring my patients!

Hands down the best gym I have been to. This is one of those gyms where you can tell that the owner and trainers/staff love and care about what they do. The quality of coaching is great. If you want coaches who care about your well being, keep you accountable and motivated, you wont be disappointed. Definitely go check it out and see for yourself.

This gym is great! Super friendly staff, very clean, well maintained. Coco is my favorite part. Thank you coco for making every morning so great! Your friendliness and help everyday does not go unnoticed.

I believe there are two variables to consider when embarking on ones fitness journey: The How (how to train, program design, etc.) and Adherence. FIT Brea definitely does both well and professionally. The coaches are very exceptional at coaching and designing training programs while the community is very strong and friendly making training fun, thus increasing adherence. Highly recommend FIT Brea to those looking to enhance their LIFE.

FIT Brea coaches are always high energy! You always get a good sweat in and each workout is customized to fit your workout abilities. I love that you can scale a movement if needed and you can always add more weight to make it challenging. Get ready for a full body workout including some TRX (my fav) and sled pushes!

BEST GYM EVER!!I joined FIT Brea 6 years ago and Ive not stopped coming here since then. Whats great about this gym is - by joining the gym, I feel like I’ve joined a family who always welcome you and encourage me to be better. The coaches here are very friendly and knowledgeable, they are always there for me to make sure I maximize my workout but watch out for me so that I dont get injured. This gym truly helps me to understand and adopt a FIT lifestyle. Its fun to keep a healthy habit and get stronger when youre surrounded by great people.

Such an amazing gym! Don’t be intimidated by the name Full INTENSITY Training. The idea is relative to all skill levels, ranging from newbies to ex-pro athletes. The workouts are great and the team is even better. Give it a try, you will be impressed!

I love FIT Brea! I joined just last summer, and I have absolutely loved working out in this environment. The coaches and people are so friendly, encouraging, and welcoming. In these past few months, I have definitely seen a lot of progress in my lifts and overall health. I definitely recommend trying out this gym, you won’t regret it!

FIT Brea is an awesome fitness family! The trainers are so knowledgeable and motivating!

I never get tired of coming here, and I would attribute that to the environment of coaches and the members. The owner Andrew has built a very welcoming community, and I’m very happy to be a part of it. Gym’s can be intimidating for a lot of people, but this one was welcoming from the moment you enter. Coaches really focus on technique here, and challenge you in the best way!

I love the FIT Brea family! They have the best trainers who modify and adapt to individual fitness needs for their members. Personalized and group training classes and yoga as well! Love love love this place!!

The best place for training in OC! Make sure u ask for Mr. Andrew Arredondo hell take care of u.

Extremely friendly staff that really cares about you, giving you a very personalized experience in a safe environment.

Great place to workout! Filled with amazing people!! Has a clean and safe environment.

This review is long overdue! Its been almost a year now since I joined Fit-Brea, and I only have one regret, that I didnt join the Fit Family sooner!Andrew, Heather, Jack, and all the trainers are great trainers & even better people!The workouts are programmed amazing and will help anyone at any fitness level. Theyre as intense as you can handle and as scalable as you need with a trainer always there to help you adjust your form and intensity as you need it. Ive made so many gains in both strength, endurance and overall feeling good. The more disciplined you are the more your results will transform you with the entire Fit Family cheering you along the way! We share our struggles and celebrate our triumphs together because thats the kind of environment that has been built here. The trainers and staff will even help keep you motivated and coming in if you strayed away from the gym a little longer than you should.Overall Im very happy I joined this gym and its well worth the investment into your fit lifestyle.

Best gym ever. The owner, Andrew, is amazing. He’s so fun and motivating. His staff are just as amazing. They all say hi and constantly encourage you. There are no snobby gym rats at FIT. Everyone smiles and cheers each other on.

Update 12.21.2020: It has been three years since I started coming to FIT Brea. I still look forward to every workout, the trainers always want us to have great form while maintaining strength. I cannot say enough great things about Andrew and the team!I found this gym in 2017 and I am now hooked. I look forward to every workout and the community is great! Always challenging workouts but they are always able to modify to my level so that I do not injure myself.

FIT Brea is the gym community I never knew I needed. It’s the first time I have been committed to going to the gym on a regular basis for a long period of time.Each trainer truly does care about your personal growth - and you definitely do see and feel your progress!There is a clear ongoing motivation to improve the overall gym experience. There is always something new, fun, or different being planned to break the monotony of working out. FIT always works to be inclusive of family members and helping the community.Best of all, the members here are extremely friendly and motivating. It truly makes the long term goals of going the gym an easy choice. The variety of personality types and levels of fitness here creates for a perfect atmosphere to be confident in what you’re doing and to be pushed to reach new limits.I’m so grateful to have found this gym!

Love fit brea! The coaches are all fun and motivating!

This place makes you want to truly workout everyday. From the friendly energetic coaches pushing you to do your best to the supportive friendly people who are with you everyday. This is truly a family and have made some long lasting friends. If you want to enjoy the gym and have fun with great people this is the place for you.

Definitely the place to go if you want challenging workouts with great people. What I like best are the group training classes. Everyone from the trainers to the other members are friendly and encouraging. Even though it’s a group class, the trainers are excellent at tailoring the exercises to your fitness level. I highly recommend trying out the free pass. You won’t be sorry and you will get in better shape.

A family friendly gym with professional trainers who are always encouraging members to push to their full potential while working on form and technique. The programming is set monthly to build towards goals. I have grown so much with my weightlifting in the year I’ve been a member. I never want to miss a day!

FIT is that best thing I have done in the last 5 years. Very thankful for Andrew and the team for leading me on a healthy life path. They tailor our workouts to individual needs and are supportive and helpful. Thanks for everything!!!

I made a change about a year ago from a boot camp to this gym. I wanted more... I loved personal training and wanted to lift more. FIT seemed like the perfect fit for what I was wanting. I walked in and immediately felt at home. The community is amazing! We are really a FIT family. We lift each other up and encourage each other.Andrew, the gym owner is more than an owner. He really cares about all his members and takes the time to get to know them.There is fitness for every level. We lift almost every day and work on technique and protecting it before we add weights. If you are not ready for heavy weights, he offers plenty of alternatives to get you on your path to greatness.I seriously love this place and the people who frequent it! I can’t imagine my life without FIT Brea in it!

I started training at FIT Brea in 2015. I live overseas but come home to Brea often and was looking for a gym where I could drop in and get basic weight training instruction and classes that would emphasize both strength and cardio. I found this and much more, mainly by attending group FIST classes.Andrew is an amazing trainer. He is extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and approaches each class with infectious enthusiasm (certainly the type we all need when we are pushing through a workout!). Heather and Marvin are also standout instructors.But what I find truly special about FIT Brea is the “one team one dream” vibe that permeates the gym and every workout. Andrew and his team’s positivity have attracted a similarly minded clientele — classes are filled with regulars who are super friendly and helpful.Can’t recommend the FIT community enough. I can’t imagine going anywhere else when I’m making my visits back home!

So fantastic!!! Everyone is welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful.

I joined FIT Brea in May 2018 looking to make a healthy lifestyle change. What I discovered was that this was not a typical gym...it is a dedicated and fantastic FIT community! Since joining, I have decreased body fat, increased muscle mass, and eliminated my sciatica pain! Every trainer here gets to know you, and works with your fitness goals. What ever goals you are looking to achieve, FIT Brea will help get you there! Do yourself a favor and check out this community!

I joined FIT Brea in Dec 2019 and I was pleasantly surprised that there was no judging of fit or unfit you were. They are there to help you meet your goals in a healthy manner. I had some major health challenges in 2019 and they tailored my workouts to accommodate this.I have been working out with Andrew and Marvin and they are both wonderful. They have you work out at your own pace and dont push you to do more than your body can do.I actually got my husband to join me and so we are both now working out and enjoying the benefits of living a healthier and more active life.

Highly recommend FIT Brea to anyone looking to improve his or her health, endurance, mobility, and strength. The daily training schedules provide an overall body workout. The coaches are technically skilled and emphasize proper form with weight lifting and circuit training. Through their full intensity training program and guidance on nutrition, Ive been able to excel in a very competitive mens soccer league - Ive regained my flexibly, strength, endurance, and speed - Thank you FIT Brea!

Friendly, professional and extremely knowledgeable owner and trainers! Classes are never boring or repetitive, always challenging! No matter where you are in your fitness journey, this gym accommodates all! You are always pushed and motivated.Every single time I leave, I always feel great. It never gets easier, you just get stronger!

Easily the most enjoyable place to work out that Ive experienced. Andrew and his team of coaches are motivating, educated & so much fun to be around. We have the strongest community at our gym which results in extra motivation & support.

I’ve been a FIT member since the beginning in 2013 and I’m STILL a member to this day! I’ve trained with Andrew even before that and continued for over 6 years. FIT has truly become a lifestyle for me just like they say! This is even a surprise to me! At first, my only intention was to get skinny and lose weight and once I did, I was going to stop. But, once I reached my initial goals, I never stopped going because FIT has taught me that this is a lifestyle and one I can’t live without. I knew I wanted to keep going in order to stay physically fit, healthy and happy. Who knew that I could find and belong to a community where the trainers truly live a real FIT lifestyle daily and also motivate others to do so. It’s this gym, this community of trainers and members, this is a place that keeps you motivated and challenged during the ups and downs in your fitness, health and even life! I really can’t imagine my life without working out at FIT every week!

This gym has changed my life for the better in so many ways. Ive always been in decent shape but really decided to dedicate myself to getting healthier and more fit back in 2017, and although I thought I was signing up for a gym, I found a home and a community of people who support and push you to always be better than yesterday. I am stronger, happier, and more confident than I have ever been thanks to FIT Brea and the team. The gym itself is large and open, focusing mainly on strength and cross training, high intensity circuits but also offers one on one, semiprivate training in addition to classes plus mobility and yoga classes! Andrew and all of the coaches here are incredible at what they do, both at understanding fitness programming and execution as well as creating a family environment that makes you want to come be better every single day. You really cant ask for a better workout, a better gym, or a better community to help you reach your goals and fall in love with fitness than FIT!

This gym is amazing! The atmosphere here is so fun and energetic even on my worst days they always seem to make me finish work outs strong! The staff here are so friendly and helpful!

Best FITness experience ever!!! The coaches are GREAT! They are very experienced and super supportive. I look forward to my workouts every day. We train hard and we have fun. This gym is my therapy. I love my FIT family!!!

Its amazing, we know Andrew 14 years. All this time he been such a wonderful, supportive coach. Thank you very much for your hard work. With love Tenkoff family.

FIT is an awesome place to work out! The facilities are clean! The owner and all the coaches ( past & present) are positive, knowledgeable, and push you to improve in a realistic manner! The members are all very encouraging!

Full Intensity training is the first gym that has kept me motivated to keep coming back. Ive seen real results and feel like part of a family here!

Everyone here is supportive and encouraging. Any ability level can succeed here. They are super friendly and accommodating to your specific needs.

FIT Brea is the perfect balance of everything I need in a workout! I am challenged everyday by the workout, the pace & the fun but competitive environment created by the awesome owner, amazing coaches, and funloving members! Love this gym!

5 stars across the board. The best coaches, community, owner, members and of course the most amazing workouts. Be ready to get strong and confident

I have been a long time member of FIT Brea and absolutely love it! The facility and equipment are top notch and the programs and trainers are wonderful and effective.

The classes at FIT are definitely intense, touching on both weight lifting and conditioning. The atmosphere and support is what keeps me coming in 5 days a week to workout. Not only have I seen tremendous results the past year but because of the coaching I was able to adjust my lifestyle in order to keep the weight off and continue to see results. If you are looking for a challenge and result driven workouts I highly recommend FIT

Love this gym! All the coaches and Connie are so encouraging and helpful! Try it you will not be disappointed!

Awesome workout environment to be around. Andrew, Heather, Marvin, Jack, Mike are all great and encouraging coaches to get you in shape!

I began training with Andrew at F.I.T. approximately nine years ago . He along with all the F.I.T. trainers are very knowledgeable, experienced and pleasant to work with and I always look forward to my weekly sessions.

An amazing gym with a great vibe. Such a great community to be involved with.

If youre considering joining, DO IT! It was one of the best decisions Ive ever made! #TeamNoDadBod

I love being a part of the F.I.T. Family. Every workout you never know what youre going to get. From Circuit Training and TRX to Lifting Weights and Kickboxing this is a great place for people of all fitness levels. You also get monthly tracking of your progress in strength, endurance, body weight, body fat, and measurements. The trainers are always positive, encouraging, and always make you feel welcome. Weather you are looking to amp up your intensity as an active person, a first time fitness goer, or someone who is coming back to a fitness routine, this is a safe place to push yourself to be more than you could ever imagine. I personally have grown to love working out at 5:30AM, running on my own, and making the lifestyle changes necessary to lead a healthy life. I couldnt do that without the leadership and inspiration given to me by Andrew and Carlos on a day to day basis.

Its been over a year now since Ive become a member at this gym and I absolutely love it. The workouts have always kept me on my toes and the trainers are encouraging. Theres never been a workout I wasnt challenged by. Try F.I.T.I dreaded the day I had to start gym shopping. I was looking for a gym that will accommodate my busy schedule of being a mom, wife, and working full time. I needed early morning workout trainings and late evenings. I also needed a gym which will keep me coming back for more and F.I.T. was that place. My first workout was beyond challenging and that same challenge I get to this day is such satisfaction. I was pushed to limits I thought I could never get to thanks to the awesome trainers. The trainers are knowledgeable, professional, and they make it welcoming and comfortable to be there. Ive never been so committed and motivated to any exercise program. Give it a try. Its worth the confidence gain, weight loss, and lifestyle change. Im happier andhealthier than ever.Its been over a year now since Ive become a member at this gym and I absolutely love it. The workouts have always kept me on my toes and the trainers are encouraging. Theres never been a workout I wasnt challenged by. Try F.I.T.

By: Melody RiosIve been a part of this gym (family) for a little over 2 years and I can honestly say it feels like the first work out everyday. Is not just about the positive challenge you face on every work out but its also the knowledge.All four of the trainers guide you in detail for your best performance and an eating guide by pushing you to give your 100%. They get to know you and your goals. Call you by name as you walk in or walk out! And to top it off every member involve strive and motivate just as much.The gym is a big area, its clean and fully equipped with a variety of TRX, kettle bells, free weights, etc. You have a choice to sign up for individual training, group classes or both. Theres also challenges and events throughout the year always with the same thought in mind, making being FIT a lifestyle.I recommend FIT, Andrew and the whole team to everyone who wants to make a positive change in their life. You wont regret becoming a part of this family :)

Love love love this place. Having played soccer my whole life and played at a professional level, I have never quite found a gym that is the whole package until now. I badly injuried my knee and was told by doctors that my injury was career ending. It is one of the worse things any athlete could ever hear. This horrible news stopped me from doing any kind of physical activity for a whole year. I tried everything and every gym and nothing worked. It was a bad time in my life but there were a couple of trainers who pushed me harder than ever and NEVER gave up on me. Andrew and Carlos are amazing trainers who helped me regain 100% strength in not only my knee but my entire body. I am physically and mentally stronger than ever and I owe it all to them.Come and check it out for yourself ITS AWESOME!

If you are looking for a gym with AMAZING coaches that care about your goals & well being, this is the place to go! Andrew, Erik, Heather & Aly are simply the best! Ive been a member for a few months now & my results have been great! I feel so much stronger, healthier, and most importantly HAPPIER!!!Whether youre an early bird or a night owl, the schedules work pretty much for anyone! I 100% recommend this place! Give it a try, I promise you will not regret it!—————————————Another year has gone by and I’m as happy as I can be and more committed than ever! The trainers continue to push me further as I grow and I can’t wait to accomplish more goals along my awesome Fit Fam!

I have never been so committed to a gym before. Everyone becomes your 2nd family. I love this gym!

UPDATE: 11/20/19Almost 2 years to the date and still at it 😁 Love this place! Andrew, the owner and trainer is just awesome! All trainers are honestly amazing ! Each trainer is an expert in different areas so you get well-rounded fitness guidance and a great experience. I appreciate that we have the opportunity to challenge ourselves (going heavier, learning new movements, etc ), and practice self-care through mobility class and yoga. The best of all worlds. And yes I definitely see results. My body composition has changed for sure. I learned to fuel my body more efficiently rather than following a carb-deprived diet. So ladies and gentlemen we eat, we eat well and we use it to fuel our workouts 😁 My advice, try it. You’ll be glad you did!ORIGINAL:Awesome place! Definitely recommend it! Great trainers, great facility and great members. Being new to the use of barbells, (I’m in my 40s Ladies!) it was intimidating, but the trainers walked me through and in just 3 weeks, I feel so much more confident in my workouts! Love the variety of equipment and type of workouts, always challenging. I leave every workout feeling accomplished, energized and ready to step it up a notch! Excited to have joined and looking forward to seeing results! Thanks for the encouragement Andrew !

I cant even begin to say ho much I love this place!I have been coming here a little over a year and it was the BEST decision I have made for my fitness and health!Ill be honest, the workouts are NOT easy! BUT with the caring staff instruction and the awesome people who attend you will NEVER feel out of place. You go at your own pace and everyone will help you along the way.When I started I couldnt even do a pushup, no more then 10 sit-ups, and could not run more then 10 seconds. I was so out of shape. but with the help of Andrew and staff I not only stay consistent with my weight loss, but I have not felt better a day in my life. I have been many places but never have I met such caring staff and people who will support you every second!

Best gym around. Im in better shape in my 30s than I ever was in my 20s. Great staff that make every workout customized to you. Excellent effective workouts that will push your limits, and transform you physcially and mentally.

For those interested in a full narrative review please read below the snapshot.Top five reasons to visit F.I.T.:1. Real and positive results: Starting 225lbs. 23.4% Body Fat. Current 218lbs. 15.9% Body Fat. Deadlift: starting 275lbs./ current 455lbs.2. Modern, clean, and well-equipped facility: TRX, Weight Racks, Pull-up bars, kettle bells and more.3. Friendly and knowledgeable trainers: Each of the four trainers knows me and everyone else by name and are constantly refining our techniques and provide effective advice.4. Amazing variety of workouts and exercises: Even after two years, each workout feels fresh. New movements are introduced regularly.5. Accountability and support: Everyone in the group workouts encourages and pushes each other. Trainers check-in with members who may have gotten behind in their goals and help them get back on track.First let me say that this yelp review is long overdue. I have been going to F.I.T. now for just over two years. My primary motivation for getting into shape was so that I could keep up with kids. I wanted the strength to be able to pick them up and the stamina to keep up with their running around.Before I started at F.I.T., I had been going to another small private gym in the area where a team of trainers lead small group and personal sessions. I made progress at that gym, but I didnt know what I was missing until I went to F.I.T. There were two significant differences I noticed.First, F.I.T has a bigger, cleaner, and more modern facility. I was amazed by the space and equipment. Second, besides the welcoming facilities the trainers were extremely welcoming. After my initial trial class, I signed up for a month. When I came in for my next class, Andrew immediately greeted me by name. I noticed that he did this with everyone. I was impressed that he knew all the names of all members no matter how long they had been training with him. This has consistently been maintained over the past two years. Not only Andrew, but the other members also introduced themselves to me and made me feel welcomed. This F.I.T. Family helped motivate me to show up for training sessions and work hard.My first couple weeks were tough. As I had been working out for a couple months at another gym, I optimistically jumped into the group training sessions. I became a little discouraged when my optimism didnt align with reality. At first, I was only able to complete about 60% of each workout set. I shared this with Andrew, and he reassured me this was normal, and gave me the encouragement I needed to persevere. After consistently going to F.I.T. for three months, I was able to complete the workout fully. Maintaining this trajectory, I continued to make improvements and pushed myself to put up new personal records in bench press, pull-ups, squat, deadlift, and mile run. I am now in the best shape I have ever been, and have embraced a FIT lifestyle.Throughout the year, F.I.T. hosts training challenges, participates in 8k runs, takes group excursions, and holds special holiday training sessions. These events build community and keep exercising fresh and fun. Andrew and his team know how to make working out fun and effective.I have appreciated getting to know the trainers and everyone else that works out at Full Intensity Training. Together we have set goals and encourage each other to get better. This place yields real results. I encourage anyone interested in experiencing something similar to give Full Intensity Training a try.

My significant other and I moved to Brea in July 2015 and joined one of the big box gyms. After a year going by and only going to the gym a handful of times, we realized we needed to find something new. After doing some research, we found Andrew and FIT. We emailed expecting not to hear back, but Andrew got back to us right away and set up a consult (including weigh-in and measurements) and invited us to our first workout. Needless to say, we have never turned back! Andrew and his team of trainers are fantastic, providing encouragement while pushing you to be your best. We love the team mentality (which is so different than a crossfit gym we attended in LA) and the ability to adjust workouts to what we need (more weight, less weight, higher or lower intensity). The trainers know everyone by name, and it truly feels like a community. We are so happy we found FIT!!UPDATE:1 year later, and we still think joining FIT is the best decision weve made since we moved to Brea. FIT has consistently pushed us to be our best, physically and mentally. The coaches continue to be amazing, and this year they have worked closely with us through some injuries, taking care to adjust workouts as needed. We still attend the group classes, but over the past 8 weeks we have stated personal training with coach Erik Diaz in order to get our bodies wedding ready. We have noticed a huge change in both strength and stamina when we get back to the group class - working with Erik has taken our training to a new level. If you are looking for a community of people to push you to be your best, look no further.

A decent gym.

If you want to get in shape with some great coaching, this is the place to be. Results are endless and they push you to get those results.
